Richard sat alone at the dimly lit corner of the bar, holding a glass of whiskey. The noise of chatter and clinking glasses around him felt distant as he drowned in his own remorse.He took another sip, the bitterness of the alcohol echoing the unrest within him. It wasn't supposed to be like this. His relationship with Elaine was not supposed to be like that.He tightly held the glass in his hand, his mind completely occupied by her. The things Mystro said still haunted him. He had been all sort of things to Elaine that he couldn't keep up with the kind of monster he was.“Another bottle” he requested of the bartender.A bottle was brought to him and he poured the content into his glass and drank it in a go.A short while later and he was completely drunk, he passed out on the table.“Excuse me sir, we are closing” the bartender woke him up about an hour later.“What time is it?” he asked.“Midnight” the man replied.He got up from his seat picked up his coat and left the bar. Richa

Mystro was utterly confused by how Elaine was pregnant.“What?” he asked again.“Elaine, what did you just say” Richard added.“I think I am pregnant, I am not sure yet but I feel that way” she responded.“What makes you feel that way, have you done a test” Mystro asked in disbelief.“No”“Then”“Hey, if she says she is pregnant then she has a strong reason for feeling that way, stop asking her questions” Richard yelled at him for trying to make her doubt her words.“You are only saying that because you believe you are the father. How can you be the father when you have never touched her?. How would you explain that” Mystro asked.“This is none of your business” Richard turned Elaine to face him.He cupped her face to look him,“You are certain that you are pregnant” he asked.“Yes” She nodded her head.A smile crept on his face as he looked at her, the possibility of him being the father made him overjoyed.“Like I said, how are you sure that he is the father. How you forgotten what

The next morning, Elaine got all dressed up in a black jumpsuit, she had some question to ask the doctor who had diagnosed her with cancer. Why would he do such a thing to her and let her wallow in misery for months thinking about nothing else but when she was going to die. She had to confront him.She made her way down the stairs when she met Richard holding a bottle of wine in his hand.“What is that?” she asked him.“I am expecting a guest” he replied.“Since when did you start bringing people over to the house” she asked startled. It would be the first time such a thing would happen.“He is not coming over” he said.Noticing her outfit, Richard had no choice but to ask.“Where are you heading off to so early in the morning” he asked.“To the hospital, I need some answer from him and why he would lie to me. I want to hear the truth directly” she said.His eyes lit up and he moved closer to her.“But I told you everything, why do you want to bother yourself to go there” he asked.“Y

"Thank you for... everything," Elaine said to Richard, as they got back into the car, going back home. Richard gave no reply to that, he sat in his seat, and looked at her, a small smile creeping to his face."What are you looking at?" Elaine asked, after noticing his intense glare. Without looking away, he smiled, and said, "I'm staring at the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."Immediately, Elaine's cheeks turned so red, and she shyly looked away. "Can we leave now?" She asked, still not looking at him."Just a second." Richard inched closer, rested his left hand on her cheeks, and turned her head to face him. He moved ever closer, and sucked in his breath, before his lips collided with Elaine's. For a second, she backed away from him and said his name, before moving closer and pushing her body fully into his. "Richard," she moaned, and straightened her body, slowly sitting on his lap.They stopped kissing, and started staring at each other for a few seconds. Richard used his han

"One, I am here for you. I am here to get you, I think you've forgotten that you belong to me and not that scumbag-"Elaine was about to interrupt him, but he put a finger up and stopped her from saying anything. "You don't have to argue about that, because I don't really care. Two, I am in this house because of you. Three, your guards have been tied up by my men, so don't even try scrambling for help." He finished.Miles stood up, and tried pushing Mystro away from Elaine, but Elaine stopped him. "Don't worry, miles. I know how to handle this weakling of a man."Even though Elaine looked a bit scared and nervous, miles nodded and left, moving to a corner of the living room."You know what? I am not even mad about you calling me a weakling, because you're right. You do know how to handle me, more than I know how to handle myself. So, why don't you let me handle you?" He tried touching her, but she moved his hands away from her."Don't try touching me, mystro. Just leave now! Leave whi
