LOGINELENA POV I sat on the swing at our backyard holding a cup of warm chocolate.I let out a sigh as I stared at the surroundings with a smile. I never thought that I would be back here as a daughter to stay and not visit. It's been hell since I came back home, my mom and dad were both on my neck in why I cheated. And then the sudden change in character it was just so weird.I couldn't say a word,I remember two days ago like it was yesterday and I don't think I would or can ever forget it.**Flashback**Aldric's father driver was kind enough to drop us off at our house. Aldric's Mom refused to say a word to me all through the drive back home. Immediately we got to our home, Elara didn't say a word as she angrily got out of the car.I swallowed turning to Aldric's parents, “I'm…I'm really sorry for all this and thank you for driving us home.” I said softly about to open the door but stopped after what Aldric's father said,“Elena, I don't know what's going on with Adrian and you…”“I pro
ALDRIC POV It's been two days since Elena left my house, which was supposed to be our home but she's not here.I couldn't stop thinking about two days ago when Charles called with the information I asked for. His words kept repeating in my head, over and over again.**Flash back**“Yo Aldric, I think your wife went on a business trip with a friend.”“Business trip? My wife didn't mention any to me. And, what friend are you talking about?” I asked, shocked by the news.“It's a male, just so you know and they seem close. So…with some help from my guys, I got his name. I'm sure you know him, don't worry, it's, uhh, James, yeah James. James Blackwell.”My body immediately went rigid as the words left Charles's lips. James? She travelled with a man, maybe he was a friend. I tried to justify or give myself a bit of peace,“Okay , what about Las Vegas? Who did she travel with?” I asked calmly not wanting to cause alarm or let anyone know what's happening in my home. It is afterall a family
ELENA POV “What…what did I just hear?” Aldric's Mom asked coming to stand right next to me, she pulled me back trying to look into my eyes but I kept looking down“Elara, care to explain, what the hell I just heard?”“Mother, I…”“I don't want to be around you right now.” Aldric said, walking past me.“No, wait…” I tried to say but Aldric was already walking towards the stairs leading to the living room.“What the hell did you do again?” Aldric's Mom said following after her son, not without sending me a side glare, “Aldric son, Aldric, talk to mommy.” I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat, “I should…” tears rolling down my cheeks, “I should go meet Aldric, I….I need to explain. I have to explain.” I said to myself cleaning the tears on my cheeks, I turned to turn towards the same direction as Aldric but Adrian held my arm stopping me.“What are you doing?” Adrian asked,“I have to…no, I need to speak with Aldric, he needs to know that I love him…”Adrian cuts me off pul
ELENA POV “Who the hell is James?” He asked, more annoyed.“Aldric.. Aldric, where did you hear that name from?” I asked instead.“Elena, I just…I just need an answer.”“I don't have anything to say to you.” I quickly said, about turning around but Aldric cut my hand firmly but softly.“But just a few seconds ago you said otherwise, aren't…aren't you tired of lying to me?” Aldric asked, his eyes clearly said he was hurt and I didn't mean for him to be hurt or confused anymore.I breathed out softly, “Aldric,” I began, “I…we didn't mean to do any of this…”“You swapped and Elara went off with some guy and you..you stayed here, with me. Isn't it?” Aldric asked, cutting me off, his eyes showing slightly hoping for it to be as he said.I nodded, not wanting to prolong our conversation because there was more to it. I needed to tell Aldric every single thing, I just hope that it doesn't affect our relationship.“Yes, I'm so sorry, Aldric . I just… we didn't mean to deceive you. Elara neede
ELENA POV “What about now? How recently have you two swapped?”I blinked, staring at Aldric. Why…why was he suddenly curious about such a thing?“Aldric, why…”Aldric took a few steps towards me, making me freeze and my words in my mouth, “I need to know Elena. I'm…I'm confused about my…” he closed his eyes and breathed out softly , “You need to tell me.”I swallowed, taking a step back, "Aldric..I really don't have anything to say to…”“Elena, you don't know how I'm feeling right now, what I have been feeling. I…I just need you to please tell me.”“If you can explain to me, I would very much love to help out with whatever you're going through.”“You wouldn't understand even if I told you.” He said with his eyes closed.“You can try,who knows I might actually understand,” I said softly trying to get whatever it is that's bothering Aldric, while hoping he would confess his love to me.Aldric scoffed, “If I said…if I told you that I wanted to kiss you what would you say?” Aldric asked,
ALDRIC POV “Congratulations on your pregnancy, though I really hoped we'll have more time to talk.” I said, my heart tearing at the thought and I don't know why but the thought of Elena carrying Adrian's child…No, I shouldn't think like that, so instead I forced a smile on my lips and turned around. I walked away but I could feel that my heart remained right where Elena was. What is wrong with me again?Why are my feelings getting mixed again?Immediately Elara paused and turned to face me, I almost ran into Elara but I stopped and made it seem like I wanted to stand right in front of her. She blinked, taking a step back. “Why…why are you standing so close to me?”“Shouldn't I be?” I asked, trying to ignite some chemistry.Maybe I was feeling this way because I had avoided Elara and Elena for a while.Elara chucked, taking a step back, “You should, it's just…we haven't spoken in awhile and this is just sudden and weird.”I scrunched my face, “Weird? I may have been an ass but I'm s
