LOGINALDRIC 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
ELENA POV Aldric leaned on the rail next to me, letting out a sigh. I couldn't help but stare at him, he looked exhausted but still handsome as ever.My eyes slowly trailed down to his strong arm as his muscles flexed through his shirt, slowly my eyes landed on his hands, his fingers fixed together. I bite my lip, my body immediately reacting to the thought of what those fingers could and can do to me. I miss Aldric and so does my body.My eyes slowly lifted, going to his face, his eyes, his nose, his perfectly plump lips and…oh my God, his sharp jawline.Did he always have a well chiseled jawline? Oh God, Aldric is so…“I hope I didn't startle you.” Aldric said, pulling me out of my imagination.“Huh?” I said, shaking my head as I tried to calm my body down from my very wild imagination. I blinked a few times.Well you can't blame me, Aldric and I haven't had sex in a while with everything that has been going on and I miss, no, I need him.“Oh, no, no you didn't startle me. In fact
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. Aldric's gaze was fixed on me,he didn't once take his eye off me.It made me more nervo
“Excuse me?” I asked confused, “I don't understand.”“At the airport,you looked like you were running away….” Then she paused and gasped, “Where are my manners, you probably don't even remember me.” “Yeah, I don't.” I said with a furrowed brow.“Oh,it's okay. We only spoke for a few minutes, that
