Chapter 11: Bonds of FamilyKnight’s P.O.V:“You mind explaining what’s going on?” I asked Robert, feeling helpless in a way I couldn’t even explain to myself.Elena was having a baby. My baby! I was about to become a father! And I only just found out about it. Dear God! Has Elena been sick this whole time? Did she have to deal with this every day? Keena doesn’t get this sick, then why Elena?Robert sighed audibly. “Look, Knight,” he gave me a stern look. “When I gave you a hint about Elain’s pregnancy, I did it because no matter how awful you’ve been as a man, right now, Elain needs someone to look after her and the baby. I’ve already lost my child, so I didn’t want a child losing its father even before it’s born. But that was all before I heard the word complications.”My heart sank. “What complications?”

Chapter 13: Decisions and Promises:Elena’s P.O.V:“Are you alright?” Knight got up from his seat after Leo went out the door and came to stand in front of me. “You look a bit pale.”I shook my head at him. “I’m fine.”“How are you feeling today? You should really lie down for some time.” Knight said with genuine concern.In fact, I was feeling a bit tired, but going back inside the bedroom with Knight was a big no-no. It was far too soon for that. “I’ll just have a seat on the couch.” I told him instead.Once I was seated, I motioned for Knight to take his seat as well.  Instead of taking his previous seat the couch opposite mine, he took a seat at the foot of my couch and much to my astonishment, took my feet into his lap and started giving them a massage. I closed my eyes and leaned back on the couch, almost moaning at how

Chapter 15: Improvements and then… Knight’s P.O.V: Four days later, I was back at Elena’s doorstep, carnations, this time in pink, and a box of dark chocolates in hand, hoping that this time, I’ll be able to make some progress with her. “Knight. Come in.” Elena opened the door without hesitation. “You didn’t tell me you-“ “Shit!” I dropped the baggage I was holding and rushed to her side. “How did you get hurt? When was this? Why haven’t you called someone? The Doctor! We’re going there right n-“ “Goodness Knight! What’s wrong with you?” She pushed me back hard enough that I stumbled over the box I’d dropped and nearly landed on my ass. “What’s going on?” But my heart was at the pit of my stomach and terror had taken me in a chokehold. The only thing I could do was point my fingers in the direction of her forehead and cheek that was covered in a dark red liquid. How could she not be feeling any pain? H

Chapter 17: Between a rock and a very hard surface Elena’s P.O.V: I watched the color drain out of Knight’s face as soon as I told him who might be at the door, but as much as I wanted to feel sorry for him, I kinda felt like he deserves this. Oh, who am I kidding? He definitely deserves this and so much more. Serves him right. I took off my mitts and went over to the couches where I had placed my shrug and pulled it on real quick while Knight stood frozen beside the kitchen counter. To be honest, it was his fault for arriving unannounced. Kareena and I had made plans a couple days earlier when we’d been texting each other and she’d found out about my side-job. I’d sent her a few sample pictures of my work that she’d loved and she’d asked if she could buy one from me. It was a painting of a woman standing under a tree with a child in her arms. I had drawn t a while back but since I had a picture of it saved up in my phone, I’

Chapter 19: Unfinished Business Elena’s P.O.V: I squeezed my eyes shut and leaned my head against the door as soon as I entered my room and shut the door behind me. God! Just when I thought my life was full of drama… But why was he here and not my parents? I sighed and rubbed at my temples, only then realizing that the bouquet of lilies was still in my hand. “Shit!” I went over to my nightstand and picked out an empty vase before going into the bathroom to fill it up and place the flowers in it. They were beautiful, no doubt, but what surprised me was that Landon had remembered that they were my favorite flowers. Deciding that there was no point denying the inevitable, I quickly took a nice warm shower to wash off all the paint and then dried and dressed in a white full sleeve dress that reached my knees and decided to let my hair dry naturally. I didn’t bother putting on any makeup, because La
