ELAINE. “Stay where I am?” I was confused. “What do you mean? Do you mean you'll be home soon?” My chest thumped hard against my chest as the lies came out. The line ended with a click and I wrapped my hand against myself to brace the chill. The moment the call ended, I looked left and right, not sure if I was being watched or whether to run away. No way he knows where I am. But I barely had time to wonder when the entourage stopped in front of me and he came out. I watched shell shocked as the door opened and men in suits lined up around him. “What…What are you doing here?” He had caught me in a lie. Another lie. Almost immediately Diana came out of the store with a white nylon which most likely contained the pregnancy test kits. “Get in the car.” His voice was controlled, but something about it scared me. “I…I wasn't feeling well, so I thought of getting some drugs and needed Diana to come…” my thoughts were caught off by the hard way he gripped my shoulder. “Stop. Just

Elaine. “Is that a threat?” His voice was dangerously low. And I stumbled backwards scared of the intensity of his gaze. His tie was loosened around his neck and the top few buttons of his crisp white shirt tugged undone. He turned and made straight for the drinks cabinet where his usual bottle of good whisky waited for him.He barely drank in the room. Or drank in total, that I was surprised he had a little drink section at the far end of the room. But I think the situation today called for a strong drink. I watched him as he poured the whiskey into a small glass. The smell of the alcohol had my stomach lurching and I couldn't help help the sounds that came out of me. He noticed it because he closed the bottle back and went to the toilet to flush the piece he poured. He didn't drink a sip because when he came back, I couldn't smell the whiskey on him. It's time like this, when even though he was angry, he treats me with compassion that made my heart skip a beatFrom my positi

Elaine. I woke up alone, not sure I was surprised about that. Nik left last night and didn’t come back to bed till now. He looked so tortured like a scared kid when he woke up from that dream. This was the first time I ever saw him any different than the cold, arrogant, emotionally stoic man. Last night, he looked scared. I just wanted to wrap my hands around him and hold him tight. I'm really worried about him. . Whatever the dream was about, or the demons he was fighting, it must have taken a toll on him. I picked my phone on the bedside table, only to find a note on the side that read- I'm sorry about last night. Last minute work trip, I won't be back for a few days. I hissed and flung the paper on the floor. Most likely, he had woken up this morning and decided to go for a work trip rather than face me regarding what happened last night. He had run away like a coward. I swiped open the camera of my phone to look at my neck and if it was going to bruise. Almost like I p

Crocodile baby” I muttered under my breath as I popped open a mint and shoved it into my mouth. “Are you talking to me ma’am?” The new female body guard asked from behind the wheels. “Nothing. I'm just talking to myself.” She smiled. A warm one that reached her eyes and made it crinkle and it just made her seem prettier, even though her low cut and muscular build seemed to hide it pretty well.“Nervous for today?” She asked again and I nodded. Between the crazy nausea and the anxiety of what today had to offer, It really just had me wound up so tight. I picked up my phone then dropped it and instinctively I reached up to finger my mom's necklace which I had on. It was a simple gold chain that had the cross in the middle. It was the only thing of hers I had on. For the most part after her death, I kept it hidden after her death because I was so scared that Elias was going to pawn it off for sale. Through the last two weeks, Nik had made sure a doctor physically cleared me that I

I stared at the man who got undressed in front of me and felt my eyes begin to water again. This man, the one who had immediately put a call out to a cleaning company, rescheduled the event to a restaurant and single handedly apologised and accepted the comments about the last minute change. The one who had held my shoulders,, after getting everything under control, and asked me if I still wanted to go or get in bed. The one who had made jokes all night, and hasn't shouted or yelled at me since he got home and saw me on the floor, a waking mess with all the mess around me. That man was the one in front of me. And even though he had strictly warned me that he didn't want any more tears today my eyes were still watering. God I hate pregnancy hormones. I hate how I could be okay one minute and a teary mess the next minute. He heard my sniffle and raised his head to catch my eyes from where I was sitting at the vanity taking off my Jewelry. “What's wrong?” The concern that etche
