All Chapters of Fractured Promises: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

After the appointment, they left Dr. Sanchez’s room to finally leave. Both of them were silently walking until they saw someone familiar passing by.It was Riden. He was wearing his hospital uniform and stethoscope around his neck. Ellyse met eyes with him.“Riden,” she acknowledged his presence.“Ellyse, long time no see,” his eyes wandered off to Kai who’s standing beside her.“And Kai,” he nodded briefly.“You work here?” she asked to make the situation lighter.“Uh, yes. I have been working here for a while now,” he answered her. Ellyse felt like the whole atmosphere between the two men were very heavy and it made her a little uncomfortable. “You? What brings you two here?” she gulped harshly and was about to answer his question with full honesty when Kai suddenly spoke.“We wanted to see the gender of our baby,” he said as if it wasn’t something big.Something shifted in R

Ellyse knew that something was wrong Kai. He was very keen on putting the wedding on hold and focusing on their baby first. She can’t believe how she’s actually buying it. She thought about it long and hard after their doctor’s appointment and she realized that maybe he was right. Maybe it was a better idea to focus on their family first. However, she knew that her mother, Eliana would disagree. Plus, it wasn’t like she was willing to wait a year to get married to him. “One month,” she uttered to her mom. They were sitting across eachother in the living room, Eliana was busy sipping tea using her chinese ceramics while listening to her suggestion. “Let’s postpone it for a month…please? Wedding preparations are arduous and I feel like if it’s rushed, it wouldn’t be perfect-“ “Perfect? It’s a Laurent and Kennedy wedding, it is more than perfect Ellyse. You’re talking nonsense!” she co

Ellyse had to drop Claire off at Kai’s house because it was Saturday. She’ll stay there for two days before she gets her back on Sunday night. By Tuesday, she had to make a big decision that might ultimately affect her life. She still hasn’t made a decision or whether or not it was a great idea to live with her ex-husband again. She texted him before she drove to his house. Ellyse: Hey, I’ll drop off Claire at your house. We’re otw now Then she turned her phone off and started driving. “Mom, will you stay with me and dad at home?” Claire croaked from the backseat. She was eager to see her father again. “Uh…I don’t know, Claire. It’s a weekend, you’ll stay at your dad’s house,” she informed her as if she didn’t already know that. Claire pouted, “But I want you to stay with us too!” “

Ellyse decided to go home after checking out Kai’s room. For some reason, the idea of staying in the same house that made her feel lonely sounded ridiculous. This whole entire time, she was digging her own grave. Why did she ever consider living with him again? Was it because a part of her still loves him? The thought sounded absolutely preposterous. She wouldn’t even dare put herself in the same position she so badly pulled herself out from. She’s never gonna do that, ever. Ellyse drove back to her home with a heavy heart. She didn’t cry, she didn’t even feel hurt. Maybe, reality just hit her. For the past few days, she has been moving with her heart and not her head. She thought that being close to Kai again wouldn’t bother her, apparently—it did. She arrived at her

The meeting dismissed after almost an hour. It mostly consisted of Kai and George assuring the investors that the money that was lost would be compensated for once the suspect is detained. Though there were no clear evidences, Ellyse was confident in her assumption. She didn’t want to blame anyone of course, but she felt the need to voice out her opinion. “Ms. Kennedy, may I speak to you?” Candice, the head of the accounting department approached her after the meeting. “Of course,” she nodded indulgently before they went to a corner. “As the head of the accounting department, I feel the need to atleast contribute something to the investigation,” Ellyse thought about something upon hearing her say that. Candice didn’t have access to the vault despite being in finance. However, she knew exactly what goes in and out of thei
