Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fate Entwined in a Shadow : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Elena smashed the paper on top of the table and walked out from the room angrily.She went back to the room she slept in, picked up the clothes she wore the day Bryan took her and walked out from the mansion angrily without looking back.As she walked through the Estate, tears escaped from her eyes. She felt so cheap and stupid, she blamed herself for pretending to be Bryan's fiancée at first.“ How can I get into a contract marriage with him with this baby inside of me?” Elena murmured.As much as the money written on the contract was huge, she couldn't bear to give birth to her child under the roof of another man.“ What if he claims the baby? What if Carlos comes back to take him?” Elena pondered all those questions.She decided to go to the court straight instead of the restaurant, she had to send the divorce papers to Carlos first, she didn't want him to be the one to send it to her first.After spending long hours at the magistrate court they promised her that her mail would be

Chapter 13“I don’t owe you an explanation, Doris. Why are you here?” Bryan asked, coldly.Doris began to cry and sniffle. “So my being here annoys you? This is the first time you’ve asked me why I came instead of just carrying me up to your desk to devour me.Have you lost interest in me? Who is she? What’s her family’s name?” she kept asking. Bryan didn’t deny anything, which confirmed what she heard was true.Bryan rubbed his head, trying not to escalate the situation since his secretary was watching. “Let’s go to my office; you’re making a scene here,” he replied, walking back to his office with Doris following behind, looking like a sad child.Grandpa Morris went to the mall and bought various baby clothes and toys, excited to welcome his great-grandson. “Where did all this come from? Who bought it?” Elena asked the maid who was unpacking boxes in her room.“They’re for you, ma’am! Grandpa sent them,” the maid replied, heading out for more.Elena stood up and went outside to find

Chapter 15As soon as Elena noticed that Doris had left her clothes behind, she quickly grabbed them, leading to both of them tumbling down the stairs together.“What is happening here? Who are you, and how dare you push my granddaughter in-law down?” Grandpa Morris exclaimed as he arrived just in time to witness the chaos.Servants rushed in, carefully lifting Elena to check if she was injured. Both women had minor scratches on their heads, but thankfully, Elena was nearly at the bottom of the stairs when the incident occurred.Doris, seeing the old man, decided to play her cards right. She started crying, “Elena pushed me down the stairs! I only wanted to ask her some questions because I was lost in the house, and she got angry!” Her tears flowed easily, a tactic she was all too familiar with.But Grandpa Morris was not swayed by her theatrics. He rushed over to Elena, who was still lying on the floor, groaning in pain. “If anything happens to my granddaughter, and the child, I swe

Chapter 17Elena got home that day, very exhausted. It was the first time the matron was conducting the exercise for the women in their second trimester. It felt so good, and she thanked God that Bryan was by her side, as she wouldn't have managed it all without him."I will prepare a meal for him today to thank him for his help," Elena told herself. But she needed to sleep, so she lay down on her bed to rest.Meanwhile, Bryan was at the gate of the hotel. He wanted to have a good time with a lady, but the other part of him was declining.All his thoughts were about Elena. The way he held her waist and the smile on her face during the exercise kept flashing in his mind."No, stop! Elena is not my type! I don't even love her!" Bryan kept telling himself, but another part reminded him that he didn't love Doris either, yet he had kept her close for a long time."She is different from Doris! All Doris wanted was money, and I had it to give her. She only offered me her body in return—not t

Chapter 19Grandpa Morris said that like a gossip.“ That man must be shameless! Maybe the woman caught him cheating?” Elena added she was very interested in the topic.Grandpa shifted closer to Elena; from the way he acted, he looked like he had been looking for whom to tell the story to in the past but found none.“ Yes, he is indeed shameless; I don't blame him for being that useless; you know his grandfather was very selfish too, so I guess the foolishness runs in their lineage.” Grandpa Morris smirked.“It seems like you know a lot about this family; tell me more about them.” Elena requested, the corners of her lips curled up, waiting for more stories from Grandpa.“ Yeah, I know a lot about them; in fact, his grandfather used to be an old colleague of mine.” he paused.He glanced at Elena's face; her eyes were filled with curiosity; he smiled. The expression on Elena's face was one of the things he loved most whenever he was telling someone a story.Bryan always finds his talks
