Elena POV

"Elena wait," William says to me, grabbing my wrist in his delicate hold, the smell of hospital detergents filling my nose

 

"Stand here and do what exactly William?" I raise a brow at him, facing him squarely pulling my hand from his hold.

 

William, my husband's brother, one of the wealthiest men in the city, brought me to the hospital as I was feeling unwell, being married to his brother, he had brought me here more than Dameon my husband had, so it was natural.

 

I was directed to the Antenatal ward with news of my pregnancy, it was a miracle, Daemon and I had hardly shared a bed in the one year of marriage, he only touched me on the days he was drunk, but he had told me it was because he had developed a medical condition after college due to age and revealing it to the world would be embarrassing for him, so we kept this information to ourselves but standing here now in the lobby of the hospital and William breaking such news to me is shocking, it's a simple lie.

 

"You know I will never lie to you Elena, you're completely loyal and in love with Daemon, I would never try to spoil your relationship if it wasn't the truth"

 

"William," I walk forward, my eyes meeting with his in my open toes heels, "I know my husband Daemon and he will never do such a thing to me, he is a loyal and loving husband"

 

"I swear it Elena," he says softly, "Daemon is cheating on you"

 

I huff, walking out of the sliding doors with him on my tail, I cross my hands across each other, "I trust my husband one hundred percent William, do away with these accusations unless you have some sought of proof?" I turn my head to him, the gentle New York breeze blowing my white dress to the side.

 

He frowns, standing still In his spot, "I will find some evidence, but you must promise not to tell Daemon about the pregnancy yet, I'm afraid I don't know what he would do, he might get aggressive and violent"

 

"I've been married to Daemon for a year now, William, your brother has never for once harmed me, I think we are good here," I nod at him as my driver pulls my car around

 

Harmed me? Daemon had never done that, he knew my grandfather would have his head for that, my grandfather is one of the richest men in the city, with me being his sole heiress as my parents were assassinated years back in our home, my father being his only son.

 

But screamed, hit objects, threw things, and insulted, Daemon had displayed these characteristics multiple times in front of me, usually drunk, and after that, we would get intimate, it was his way of doing things and I never found it weird, we had been dating since high school, for years in fact and I knew Daemon like the back of my palm, he loved me despite all of these, he was just not really good with alcohol.

 

"Don't do it Elena, give me a few days" William says from behind me, as I proceed to enter the back seat of the SUV.

 

I say nothing entering the car, and closing the door behind him.

 

"Where to mam?" The driver turns slightly to me.

 

Russo Enterprise please, I say referring to my husband's company, I can't keep such happy news from him, despite what Williams says, I have to tell him about this.

 

I look down at my phone, open my calendar, and save the date, "I'M PREGNANT"

 

I smile to myself, should I call grad-pa and tell him the good news? He will be purely overjoyed, he would say, "His angel is giving him his mini angel"

 

"We are here Mam," the driver says the car coming to a stop, halting my thoughts.

 

"Thank you, I will need you to come back in 20 minutes, we will be heading to Royal Inc soon, "I say referring to my grand-fathers company.

 

"Okay Mam" he nods, helping me with the door, right after.

 

I walk into the building and I receive weird stares, pushing the elevator doors open, I arrange my pearls around my neck, nervous about what Daemon would think about the baby, yes we didn't plan a baby now but in the next four years, but, it was good news, there's no way he would get angry in his office anyway, so this is the best time to deliver the news.

 

The elevator doors open, revealing the large orange and glass hallway, I walk past several employees right to the end of the hallway with two double brown doors blocking my view from him.

 

"Mam" His secretary stands approaching me.

 

"Is he in?" I turn to her, auburn colored hair and the most beautiful sets of blue eyes I've ever seen, mine a duller color.

 

Daemon always hired beautiful women to work around him, and I had absolute trust in him, we had been dating for years and married for a year and he never gave me a reason not to trust him, making Williams's accusation uninteresting and untrue

 

"Yes mam" she nods, I'll tell him, you're here.

 

I tuck my black long hair behind my ears, "No no, don't do that, it's a surprise, I throw her a smile

 

Walking forward, I push the door open, my heart drumming loudly in my chest, the open door reveals a strong back wrapped in a striped blue shirt and black trousers, his phone to his ear, laughing loudly, one thing I had never seen him do much.

 

"Honey, I'm here," I say loud enough for him to catch.

 

He stops laughing and turning to me, his blonde hair swooped down his head revealing dreamy blue eyes, his brows pulled into a frown, his pink lips pulled into a straight line, he drops the phone turning to me.

 

"What are you doing here?" He drops his phone on the table

 

Nervously I shuffle on my feet, closing the door, and turning to him, my fingers crossed, "I have some exciting news"

 

"Well out with it then?" he frowns, hands on his waist.

 

"I'm pregnant," I say spreading my hands to reveal my barely growing bump.
