Mag-log inELENA POV I stood frozen as Aldric waited for my response. What did he expect me to say? Yes?I get that I missed him and so does my body but we have scores and we need to settle it. I should think with my head not my heart.With that in mind and using all my strength, I took a step back swallowing.“I don't think we should do that now, Aldric. We…we have so much to talk about.” I said with so much control that I didn't know it was possible.“Yeah, okay. If that's what you want.” Aldric said with a smile, “Come, have a seat.” he said pulling out a sit for me.“Thank you.” I said coming to seat down as Aldric took the next seat opposite from me.“What do you want? Though I already ordered you, your favorite chocolate chip smoothie.” Aldric said with a smile making me blush slightly.“You didn't forget.” I said calmly as the waitress placed our others on the table, “Thank you.”“Why would I forget?”“I don't know, because you do not want anything to do with me.” I said taking a big suc
ELENA POV I was able to ignore Adrian calls and I plan to do so until I leave for Los Angeles. I didn't come back here to start a drama I left behind all over again.I sat in the dining room arranging Jayden's shirt with a napkin so he doesn't spill food on his shirt while eating. My mom hasn't stopped praising me for how well I trained my son,it made me proud of my son and happy.Yet, I still didn't know how I would tell my parents that I would be meeting Aldric later. I don't know what to say to them if they asked where I would be going, since I practically have no friends.“Mommy, Grandma is taking me to the park. Can you come with me?” Jayden asked.I was about to decline when I blinked, shocked that my son just solved the riddle disturbing me. I could sneak out mid way and meet with Aldric and return before anyone would notice.I smiled, “Jayden, I….”“Of course your mommy will join us, right Elena?” My mom said with a smile.I chuckled, “Of course Mommy.” I said taking a piece
ELENA POV “Can…. Can we see and talk?” Aldric asked softly, shocking me.I stared up to see Elara, staring at me with a smile only if knew who I was talking to. But why was akdrc talking softly to me? If I remember correctly, Elara said he is like a mad dog now. So why is he different?“Hello? Can…can you hear me? Look,I know…I know it's weird talking to me after five years but I have been….” He paused letting out a sigh, “Let's talk about that when we see, okay Elena?”Hearing him say my name made me feel things I thought were long locked away five years ago.“I would like to say hi to Mario. I'm sure you've spoken about me a lot.” Elara said coming closer to take the phone from me but I quickly stood up, shocking her.She stared at me confused, “Is something wrong? I just wanted to talk with Mario.”AI took the phone from my ears and closed the speakers, “It's…it's actually work. I'm sorry I…I need to get this outside.” I said with a tight smile as I turned around walking towards t
ALDRIC POV I pushed Elara away, “No, no you didn't interrupt anything…” I said standing up leaving Elara on the sofa, “What do you mean by you've found her? Who..who did you find?” I asked not wanting to have high hopes and only to have it crushed, because it has happened a lot in the past few years.“Elena, we've found Elena, sir.”“What…what do you mean you found her?” I asked.Immediately Elara stood up and approached us, “But…but you said the information you got wasn't recent.” Elara must be more excited than I am to hear such news, so I have to confirm before giving her high hopes.“Yes but…you know what?” I said holding Elara in both arms, “How about you go home, I'll..I will call and let you know in details when I'm sure of the information,okay?”“Do you have to?” She asked, making me stare at her confused.“What do you…”“What I'm trying to say is, I would love to hear the news with you. That is, if you're okay with it.” She said with a smile, making my heart melt with grati
ELENA POV “Elena, you should be in LA…what…how did you get here?” Elara asked, refusing to answer my question.“Look, I get that you're trying to protect me but I need to know why you went to see Aldric when you specifically told me not to.” I pointed.“Oh, uh, you see…”“Mommy,” my son tugged at my skirt, “Who's Aldric and why are you so upset?”“Oh, my baby. Don't mind your mother.” Elara said, coming to carry Jayden, “She hid you away from me all these years and she comes here asking about someone non important, right?” She said with a smile, staring at Jayden.“You look like my Mommy, but you're not my mommy.” Jayden stated, making father laugh.“I love my grandson, come,” Dad said as Elara dropped him on the floor, “Lets go pick out a hair dye for me.”“Yes, I hope you have a color.” Jayden said, skipping, “Mommy don't forget to call Uncle Mario.” He said walking out of the living room with my father.“Thank you Jay, I won't.” I smiled as I turned around to face Elara, “So, are
ELENA POV I finally finished packing my son's things into his luggage since we were going home for the holidays.My mom has been in my neck from hiding her grandson from her, even though they video call, it wasn't enough for her. So I decided to surprise them and come back home without anyone knowing.For the last five years, Elara and I had been inseparable. I told her everything and she did the same . She told me everything I needed to hear especially when it came to Aldric, he finally stopped harassing my family three years ago. I think Elara mentioned him moving on, I would lie if I said I wasn't surprised and hurt by his sudden change in character.But Elara was right, she said one can never know another very well. And a typical example was Aldric, Elara saw right through him from the start but I…I was deceived and fooled. Aldric made me believe he was the best but he was actually the worst.“Mommy, let's get going, you're going to make us late!” Jayden yelled, snapping me out o
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
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
