LOGINELENA POV I smiled as I woke up to light feathering kisses on my neck. I mumbled in my sleep as I turned around, my eyesQ still closed and a sore feeling between my legs as a slight reminder of what happened last night.“You should wake up, love. It's almost 9am.”I heard Aldric's voice whisper lightly in my ears.“Well, I'm sure you know the reason why I'm exhausted.” I said with a smile as my eyes slowly opened and I was met with the most beautiful smile ever as Aldric stared down at me, “Your eyes…”“What happened? Is something in my eyes?”I chuckled, “No, your eyes are beautiful.” I said with a smile, as I caressed his cheeks .Aldric smiled placing a kiss on my inner palm, “Yours is beautiful. Your hazels are…”Boom, the door burst opened as Jayden stood there. Aldric was quick enough to cover me up with the duvet so my breasts isn't exposed to Jayden because what do I tell him about my breathing being exposed?“Mommy, why aren't you up?” He asked rubbing one of his eyes.“Oh,
ELENA POV I let out a sigh, “That….that was because…“Because you never had it in you or ever believed that we could work out, did you?” Aldric said accusingly.“Why would you say that?”“You know it's the fact, don't try to act like I'm not right.”“That is…” I said a bit loud, I exhaled, “That is because we were never a thing okay? We…we were never together. We stayed together because you thought I was my sister, so how do I know that you love me for who I am and not the image or imagination of who you think I am.” I blurted out, finally relieved of everything I was holding up in my mind.Yes, I love Aldric not just love but with my entire heart and for a moment I didn't bother to think about the situation that surrounded our love for each other. We may have fallen in love with each other but that only happened because I was Elara's decoy. So what happens when we actually get together and he doesn't see those qualities that he thought I had.What if he decides to go back to Elara o
ELENA POV I sat in the living room, typing on my laptop when the main door opened and Aldric walked in. I smiled wanting to go tell Aldric how I treated Adrian by putting him in his place but when I stood turning around, I came face to face with a very not so happy Aldric.“Hey, you seem upset. Are you okay?” I asked, walking towards Aldric.“Yeah, it seems so. I need to get to my room.” Aldric said with a tight smile as he walked past me going upstairs.I opened my mouth to say something but I just couldn't bring myself to as he walked upstairs. What…what has got Aldric so upset?“Mommy?” I heard Jaydens voice then his tiny footsteps as he ran towards me.I put a smile on my face and turned around to see Jayden running in full force.“Don't injure yourself..” I huffed as he hit me, making me chuckle, “But you can injure me.” I said sacastically as Jayden pulled back.“I heard the door open,is daddy home?” Jayden asked with a wide bright eyes.I chuckled, “oh uh, well,” I began, scru
ELENA POV Aldric has been the sweetest these past two days even though I refused to open up to him but my heart, clearly always betraying me,kept opening on its own.Aldrc was the sweetest, especially to my son, well our son, but Jayden has the tendency of pulling from anyone I pull from. It's like he's following every step or path I lead and I'm scared that I may lead him to the wrong path with this new character of mine.I knew I was upset with Aldric and the thought of Aldric going back to Elara kept haunting me every time I remember seeing them kissing but I really don't want to be the reason my son distances himself from his father.Jayden sat on the dining seat next to me staring at me, I blinked returning back to reality. I put a smile on,“Did you say something, Jay?”“I want more bacon but I can't reach it.” He said stretching his hand to the plate of bacon I smiled softly, “Sure.” bringing the plate closer to Jayden.Jayden makes me feel alive, like I have a reason to be a
ALDRIC POV “Do I really need to say something?”My assistant asked for the second time, staring at me obviously confused and scared to say whatever was in his mind. “Of course, why else would I be telling you this? Look, it's been two days and it still feels like we're nothing but two people living in the same house.” “I honestly don't know…”I let out a loud sigh making my assistant swallow whatever was remaining in his thoughts before he could say it.“I don't blame you, even, I am confused about what's going on.”I leaned back on the chair releasing a breath. It's been two days and these days have been hell. I couldn't talk with Elena for two seconds without breaking into an argument and it always ends up with Elara's name popping up, plus my mom was no help at all.I'm so glad my Dad took it upon himself to understand me and take my mom home today so I can have time to take care of my family and amend I and Elena's relationship.I don't think I'm making any progress with Jayden
ELENA POV Not sure how to answer Jayden so I took the only step and option that I was sure was best and now I stood in front of Aldric's Mansion holding onto Jayden and Aldric's parents stood there with a smile.“Hello again Elena.”I let out a breath, with a smile, I walked closer to Mr Harrison, “Good evening father…Mr Harrison.”“Oh stop being weird around me and come here.” Mr Harrison said, pulling me closer as he hugged me with a chuckle. “I missed you dear.”“Are you my new grandpa?” Jayden asked with all his teeth in display.“Oh and you must be Elena’s bundle of joy.” Harrison asked, leaning down with a smile towards Jayden.“I'm Jayden, nice to meet you.” Jayden said .“You're really cute.” Mrs Harrison said with a smile still standing a few meters away from me, well us.“I think that's enough interrogation at the door, especially when you didn't inform me before coming to my house.” Aldric said with a stern face and fake smile. It was very obvious that he hadn't amended hi
ELENA POV “Excuse me?” I asked.“Come-on, don't be shy. I've seen you a lot already, this shouldn't be new to you.” He said smugly.I scoffed annoyedly, “Still Adrian, you can't just tell me to strip. It's not right.”“Nothing we do is right darling. Plus it's a little punishment for how naughty y
ELENA POV Aldric loved the idea of Hawaii but when he asked where I wanted to go in Hawaii took me back to why I felt disturbed in the first place.We sat at the dining table eating silently. Aldric's Mom always made a comment every now and then looking for someone to react.She's funny and manipu
ELENA POV Adrian carried me to the living room, he placed me softly on the sofa. He smiled softly at me, “Let me get you something warm.” He said walking to the kitchen.A few seconds later he was back, carrying a cup of warm tea as he handed it to me. It was weird seeing him act this way. He too
ALDRIC POV I haven't stopped smiling since I got to work this morning. All I could think about was Elara. How sweet and innocent she was last night, yet she did that to me.Even during the meeting I just kept smiling like a fool.“Sir? Sir!”I looked up from my laptop to see my secretary looking a
