LOGINELENA POV “Aldric, what…. what's all these?” I asked,facing Aldric who had a sexy smirk on his lips.He leaned down and whispered, “Mom said she discussed it with you. Didn't she?”I swallowed, “She showed me a signed document of publicity of our marriage to the best reporter, not exactly what is going to be published.” I said, shocked by what I was watching.“Well, it is done, do you not like it?” Aldric asked, pulling me closer.“I..” I opened my mouth to reply but the announcer tapped the microphone catching everyone's attention again including mine.“Err, everyone. Please your focus should be here,” everyone slowly one by one either dropped their phone on the table, into their tuxedos or purses. “Thank you, well as in addition to what you've just seen online I would like to add a few things to it, can I?” The announcer asked.I focused my entire attention as I waited for what he wanted to say.“You're tense.” I gasped from Aldric's sudden whisper into my eyes.“Well, you can't…”
ELENA POV I swallowed watching the girl who was clearly waiting for my reply.I opened my mouth to reply but Aldric's Mom beat me to it.“I don't see how my daughter in-law owes you any explanation.”I guess Aldric's Mom responding was a shock to them as it was to me. The pedicurist chuckled nervously as stared at Aldric's Mom.“Oh, I'm sorry, everyone's just talking…”“What happens in my family concerns my family, you have no right to question a Harrison, understand?” Aldric's Mom said annoyingly.“I'm…I'm sorry ma'am, I was just curious…” she stammered.“Keep your curiosity out of my family and our ears. Is this how you do your business? You leave what brought you here to talk about something else?” Aldric's Mom shot back at her, very annoyed, “I guess I won't work with you again.”The pedicurist attending to my mother-in-law gasped, immediately apologizing, “I’m sorry ma'am, we don't usually work together, this…. this is the first we're working together. I…I promise not to work wi
ELENA POV I was wrong, this…this wasn't some ordinary rites. What the hell was all this?Aldric's Mom came quicker than expected. Maria had to come wake me up this morning when I hadn't slept much.. Aldric didn't let me sleep last night, don't get me wrong I enjoyed it. But now, I'm facing the consequences of being up all night.Aldric's Mom on the other hand came over with a bunch of people saying she hired them for my engagement party tonight, I didn't know I was getting engaged tonight. When I asked her why, she said,“For public sake, everyone needs to know who my daughter in-law is. Rumors are going round that you're Elara not Elena, we just have to set it straight. Cause now that I'm looking at you, you look nothing like your sister. She's flawless, so we need to take care of that flaw.” And she wasn't joking at all. There were people for every single thing she wanted, it reminded me of when I was turning sixteen and Elara insisted that we dress like Barbie as pauper Princess
ELENA POV I walked back into my home happy that my sister had no ill feelings towards me . I saw Jayden running past laughing, “Hey baby, come to mama.” Jayden stopped stared at me briefly before turning as he ran away, “What…what was that…Jayden? Jayden!” I yelled after him.I was about walking to him when I saw Aldric, “Aldric? You're home. You won't believe what….” Aldric walked out on me as I was talking .I stood watching him walk away as I scoffed, “Are you both kidding me , right now?” Completely ignoring me, Aldric bent down to Jayden's eyes level, “Okay Jay, it's already late so let's go to the park tomorrow , what do you think?”Jayden grinned widely, “Yes daddy, deal?” He asked, showing his picky finger .Aldric chuckled, and pulled out his own picky finger, “Deal.”“Yes!” He yelled as he turned and began running up the stairs towards his room.“Slow down Jayden, what bed time story would I…”Jayden stopped at the top of the stairs,he stuck his head through the rail and
ELARA POV I quietly followed James Mom to the front porch where the noise and roars of congratulation were muffled from the closed door. I stood nervously as we both stood side by side in silence, staring into thin air. I swallowed, not sure if I should talk or I should wait for her to talk first. I subconsciously tapped my fingers against my other hands, waiting for a word from Mrs Laura. I opened my mouth to say something a few times but I couldn't bring myself to say anything, but I still need to try, right?Agreeing with my thoughts, I opened my mouth to say something, when James mother finally said,“I see you don't like a comfortable silence.” She turned to face me and a light smile was on her lips.“Um, I..I don't understand.” I said trying to clear my throat since I've been nervously quiet for a very long time.“I saw you, trying to talk a few times. You just couldn't bring yourself to do that.” She walked closer to me as my mouth hung open, she leaned down , “Do I scare you
ELARA POV My nails and I can't survive this war.Sheets? No these weren't just sheets, they were a full house of thousands of sheets. Why wasn't it coming to an end? I couldn't feel my fingers anymore. I groaned as I kept washing.“Lily? The next one?” I said to the other girl washing also, I later found out she was James little sisterShe was small and petite but when I found out we were of the same age, I had to pretend like I didn't just want to treat her like a child. I'm sure she gets that a lot. Though she has a great personality.“You want more?” Lily asked chuckling,“Huh?” More? What was she talking about? Aren't there more…I turned around to see the basket was empty, “Empty, it's empty. We washed it all?” I asked.Lily smiled widely, “Yes we did.” She said joyfully.Overjoyed, I stood up and immediately hugged Lily as we began jumping, “Yes, we did it.” I haven't felt this happy in my life. It's like I achieved a very difficult task and I'm so happy that I did.Is this how
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
ELENA POV “Elara.” I froze as I heard Aldric's voice come from behind me.“Shit your husband is here.” Nina said.I smiled as I turned around on my chair, “Aldric? What are you doing here?”He smiled brightly at me as he walked over to us, “Nina,” he acknowledged her as he placed a kiss on my lip
ELENA POV Annoyed, I walked out of the kitchen so I could go find my phone and call Nina when someone grabbed me from behind and carried me up before dropping me slowly.I turned around to see Aldric smiling sheepishly at me, I couldn't help but smile back.“Good morning, beautiful lady.” Aldric s
ELENA POV Aldric slowly climbed off me and laid next to me with a smile.Soon, I was on my knees immediately crossing over Aldric.I used my fingers to trace along Aldric's collar bone, slowly down his stomach.
