LOGINALDRIC POV I let out a sigh as I got out of my bathroom drying my hair as I walked to my mirror.I threw the towel to the table and used my hand to shake the remaining water away from my hair. I stared at my naked reflection through the mirror, I looked good but I miss Elena blushing every time she sees me.I shake my head, I walked into my closet and picked out a jogger and tight top since I didn't feel like going out today. My heart was broken and so was my body or attitude to do anything. I thought she loved me, but here she was planning to leave without thinking of how I would feel about her departure.But I couldn't help but wonder if she was traveling with Adrian or alone?Has she accepted Adrian now?I groaned, rubbing my eyes as I walked down the stairs. I had so many questions to ask Elena, but I couldn't bring myself to call or text her. I could help but wonder if she would answer or reply my text.“Oh my God,” I said out loud.“Is something wrong with the food.” I was surp
ELENA POV “Do you still have to leave?” My Mom asked.I turned to see my Mom standing at the door frame leading into my room. I was currently packing my last luggage since I would be leaving first thing tomorrow morning.I smiled softly, “You can come in Mom.” I said, sitting on bed letting out a sigh as my Mom came to sit next to me.“You must be exhausted.” My Mom said softly, taking my hand in hers.My Mom was being affectionate. Why was she being affectionate towards me ?“Mom, are you okay? Is something wrong? Do you need something?” I asked.My Mom is usually this way when she wants something done and she doesn't know how to ask for it.“What?” I said with a raised brow, “Why are you asking that? Do you have something for me that I'm not aware of?” My Mom asked softly with a smile.“I just…you know, out of curiosity…you were being nice to me.” I softly, not knowing what or how to put it so my mom doesn't get upset.“Oh, I see.” My Mom chuckled, “I've been a very bad mother have
ELENA POV “Aldric, why did you do that?” I was so shocked that Aldric had such a character in him. Why did he punch him though?He tried to seduce you.” Aldric yelled, catching the attention of everyone.“He was just being friendly.” I said, trying to make him understand.Him of all people should know when someone is joking or flirting around. Afterall he has a player as a brother.“That was too friendly, don't you know or can't you differentiate between normal friendly acts and non friends?"“Why are you acting weird?” I sigh, staring at Aldric strangely, as I asked in a soft tune.His pupils suddenly dilated, “Why are you acting mad when you're clearly not?”He sighs, staring at me, “I really just…” “What the hell man? All I asked was to be her friend and here you are acting all tough like a superhero.” Mr Sean said, helping himself up as he stood up. I quickly went to assist him.“Elena, you shouldn't…” Aldric let out a sigh as I helped him up. “Elena, you….”.“Aldric!” I heard
ALDRIC POV I tried to act calm and unaffected by how Adrian interrupted Elena and I almost kiss. I acted nonchalantly, like it didn't affect me when it clearly did. I was especially furious when he addressed Elena as his wife. For a moment there I thought that he had finally claimed Elena as his and I was just wasting my time.But Elena always finds a way to try to heal and calm me down without even knowing that she does. Just when I thought it was all over she showed me that we still had hope and we would make it through together.I was so excited but I didn't want to let it show. I watched Elena all night and I loved being by her side as Elena, not Elara. So I made up my mind to ask her to come back home to me, if she doesn't approve I'll just have to beg her. Irrespective of the father of her child.We walked back into the ball room and thank God I was there to stand by her side. Just when we were making progress. Sean just had to come and annoy me.“Mr Aldric and now, a Mrs Whit
ELENA POV “What the fuck are you doing to my wife?”Adrian's voice boomed on the terrace, anger lanced in each word as it exploded from his mouth.“Adrian, you're back. How was your trip?” Aldric asked casually, still standing next to me with his hands on my waist.He looked like he didn't care a bit about the world or what anyone had to say. I know that I should be scared but I wasn't, instead, I was a bit turned on. Maybe it was the pregnancy hormone talking, I bit my lips to calm my nerves down.“It was supposed to be good, until I saw you trying to seduce my wife.” Adrian said, almost yelling.“I'm sure that sounds familiar.” Aldric said softly.Shit, why does Adrian keep trying to annoy Aldric?And why was he calling me his wife?Before I would let Aldric say any other thing I quickly said, “Adrian, you should keep your voice done. There are people right outside that door.” I said with a raised brow.“Elena,” Adrian almost whined, focusing his attention on me, “Why is he touchin
ELENA POV “So you get to stand next to my ex husband all night and what will I be doing? Smiling at any guest who looks at me weirdly?” Elara asked, staring at us.She was right, this just doesn't make sense. How do I stand next to Adrian when Elara was the one he got married to.After Aldric's father told us of his plan to save my family's business. He took it upon himself to give the invitation to my parents by himself but by servant. And now Elara is confused and furious as to why I have to take her place again.Honestly, as amazing and dreamy it sounds to stand next to Aldric not as a decoy but as his partner, I just can't skate off the feeling that Elara would hate me again because of that.“Mr Harrison, Elara is right. She was the one married to your son not me, it would bring confusion and side talks at your party when people see us together.” I said holding my stomach, “Not to mention me being pregnant.”I said looking down at my stomach.“There's nothing wrong with you being
ELENA POV “Oh please, I didn't mean to interrupt.” Adrian said dryly.“What? No, no…we were just….”“Aldric, what are you doing here?” Aldric's mother asked.“I'm helping my wife out to cook.” Aldric answered with a smile.“Darling, that's your wife's work, not yours.” She said,And there it is, t
ELENA POVHe rested his forehead on mine with his eyes closed. It seemed like he was trying to calm down, I didn't want him to calm down, I wanted him and that realization frightened me.“You looked really beautiful tonight, Elara.” He breathed quietly.Aldric blurted out, making my fingers tighten
ELENA POVWith a smirk, Aldric slowly approached me.“What did Adrian want?” I asked.“Nothing dear, he heard sounds and wanted to check up on you,” he slowly climbed the bed, placing a kiss on my forehead, “how do you feel?” Aldric asked, using his eyes to indicate down there.I chuckled, covering
ELENA’S POV “Adrian…we shouldn't be doing this,” I whispered as he laid my back on his bed and climbed on top on me, positioning himself between my legs,His eyes went dark instantly, “Why did you come to my room three nights ago?” He captured my nipples in his mouth and I moaned instead of protes
