All Chapters of THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself : Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

SERENA'S POV Pain.That was all my mind could register. Pain, and then movements. Screams. Voices so loud, so close, but then warm. My body felt warm. I felt warm. Like a big blanket had been suddenly wrapped around me. Firm.Then more voices. This one softer. Way softer. Cuddling and gently wrapping all over me...That's how I knew it was him.Eliot.And like that, my subconscious gave up.I don't know for how long it did, or how long it took, but slowly, I felt myself stirring. My subconscious. Stirring.It was like a slow movement on water. A gentle movement, each time bringing me closer and closer, a reflection shining down on me. A bright light. So bright I had to squint to protect myself. Protect my eyes.But just as I adjusted, got comfortable with the lights...my eyes opened.My eyes...my actual eyes. It opened, and slowly I took in what was my environment. I wasn't on water, wasn't moving anywhere, rather I was still. Still on some bed. My body so stiff, so stiff you would t

SERENA'S POV I'd totally forgotten about him.Totally forgotten about everything. I was just... I'd been just so engrossed. So engrossed with the trip, the activities...Eliot.Us.The trip.Oh God, the trip. What about the others? What about them? Had they all returned home? Had we returned home?Was I in the city right now? One of the hospitals there? Where the hell was I?? What city? Or town."I can... I can explain," I said still, focusing on the issue at hand. Axel. "I can explain.""Serena," he stepped closer. Watching us. Him more than me, and with a high level of hostility too. "Axel," I called him, turning his focus back to me. "Let me explain.""Explain? Oh please explain, please do. I'm listening." He approached my bed. Arms across his chest, no smiles whatsoever. Lookimg from me to Eliot, who had also moved to pull the sheets back up on me. Covering me up.Axel watching this."It was an arrangement," I started, "We...we had some sort of arrangement. Sexual arrangements."

SERENA'S POV "Wow,""This is...wow.""That's all you can say?""That's all I'm able to say," I laughed, turning to him. Admiring everything. His work. The sheer delicacy of each and everything. From the roof down to the floors. "You really did this? Alone? While I stepped out this morning, this is what you were doing?""Yup," he confirmed, grinning. Taking off his hand gloves, wiping his forehead from sweat, his shirt sticking to his body. A statement of how much time and effort he'd put into doing everything. A baby room. Setting up a baby room. Right in my apartment."Awww," I cooed at the sight of cute little teddy bears decorated around a shelf. A baby book shelf. "This is so sweet. Really. Thank you, AJ. Thank you."I meant it. Really meant it."It's okay," he cooed softly, walking to me. Wiping my cheeks. "You're crying again.""I know," I complained, tired of my own self. "Why do I keep tearing up? I'm sick of it too.""It's okay, don't beat yourself up. It's all baby, alri

SERENA'S POV Waking up to an emergency phone call wasn't exactly how I intended my day to start off. More so arriving at the scene and discovering that what was tagged an emergency, wasn't really an emergency. Like it was an emergency, but a different kind. The one you wouldn't expect on a norm and most definitely wouldn't be needing to repeatedly ask yourself questions like you had memory lapse or something!"Are you really sure about this?" I asked again. The fifth time now, still not believing it. Believing my eyes. "I'm very sure Madam." Mae sighed in front of me, tired and panicked as well. "We got a call to hurry down here first thing this morning and when we did several of the trucks were already at the gates. They made me sign delivery of custom glass panels, marble floorings, paint drums, lighting systems, sewing machines, fabric racks...everything you see here madam! They brought them all!"Her voice rang out, echoing, amidst the noise and buzzing of stuff getting moved a

SERENA'S POV Court?See me in court?"Miss Serena, a date really has been picked. The court will sit for a final hearing on the 28th of March, following the expiration of the probation period. Everything will be finalised then. Congratulations Ma'am!" My lawyer's words echoed. Again.Reminding me of everything. The reality I'd apparently forgotten about in the past weeks and then months. The divorce. The court. The probation most especially. The probation.I'd totally forgotten about that. Totally. But then again, wasn't it all so fast? The three months, how could they be up so fast? What about Eliot, did they send this to him too? Did he get a message too and talked to his lawyer? Was he thinking about it as I was and have been ever since receiving that text!"Oh goodness," I sighed. The fourth one in less than an hour of sitting at my desk. Not concentrating, not getting any work done or even checking out those working. My team.It's been days already. Weeks even. Everything els
