All Chapters of playing the perfect wife between two brothers : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

ELARA POV I quietly followed James Mom to the front porch where the noise and roars of congratulation were muffled from the closed door. I stood nervously as we both stood side by side in silence, staring into thin air. I swallowed, not sure if I should talk or I should wait for her to talk first. I subconsciously tapped my fingers against my other hands, waiting for a word from Mrs Laura. I opened my mouth to say something a few times but I couldn't bring myself to say anything, but I still need to try, right?Agreeing with my thoughts, I opened my mouth to say something, when James mother finally said,“I see you don't like a comfortable silence.” She turned to face me and a light smile was on her lips.“Um, I..I don't understand.” I said trying to clear my throat since I've been nervously quiet for a very long time.“I saw you, trying to talk a few times. You just couldn't bring yourself to do that.” She walked closer to me as my mouth hung open, she leaned down , “Do I scare you

ELENA POV I was wrong, this…this wasn't some ordinary rites. What the hell was all this?Aldric's Mom came quicker than expected. Maria had to come wake me up this morning when I hadn't slept much.. Aldric didn't let me sleep last night, don't get me wrong I enjoyed it. But now, I'm facing the consequences of being up all night.Aldric's Mom on the other hand came over with a bunch of people saying she hired them for my engagement party tonight, I didn't know I was getting engaged tonight. When I asked her why, she said,“For public sake, everyone needs to know who my daughter in-law is. Rumors are going round that you're Elara not Elena, we just have to set it straight. Cause now that I'm looking at you, you look nothing like your sister. She's flawless, so we need to take care of that flaw.” And she wasn't joking at all. There were people for every single thing she wanted, it reminded me of when I was turning sixteen and Elara insisted that we dress like Barbie as pauper Princess

ELENA POV “Aldric, what…. what's all these?” I asked,facing Aldric who had a sexy smirk on his lips.He leaned down and whispered, “Mom said she discussed it with you. Didn't she?”I swallowed, “She showed me a signed document of publicity of our marriage to the best reporter, not exactly what is going to be published.” I said, shocked by what I was watching.“Well, it is done, do you not like it?” Aldric asked, pulling me closer.“I..” I opened my mouth to reply but the announcer tapped the microphone catching everyone's attention again including mine.“Err, everyone. Please your focus should be here,” everyone slowly one by one either dropped their phone on the table, into their tuxedos or purses. “Thank you, well as in addition to what you've just seen online I would like to add a few things to it, can I?” The announcer asked.I focused my entire attention as I waited for what he wanted to say.“You're tense.” I gasped from Aldric's sudden whisper into my eyes.“Well, you can't…”

ELENA POV The evening was finally over.All guests left, while our families stayed behind in their respective rooms. Jayden insisted on sleeping with my father. I guess he loves him more.Elara left with James, since James didn't want to stay over till the wedding day.I spoke personally to all security guards not to let Helen anywhere close to our home. I called the chief of police and reported Helen as a stalker, and that I wanted her watched 24 hours so she doesn't come anywhere close to my family.All the while ignoring Aldric.I walked into our room and Aldric followed closely behind as he closed the door behind him. I walked into our walk-in closet and began taking off my jewelry and clothes. I walked out in a robe to see Aldric was sitting on the couch still in his tuxedo.“Are you going somewhere ?” I asked.Aldric's eyes were wide as he suddenly stood up, I'm sure he was shocked since that was the first word that I've said to him since the incident in the secret room.“What…

ALDRIC POV I smiled softly at Elena tugging her hair behind her ears. I've been trying my very best not to hurt or annoy Elena in any way but it seems the more I try, the more I fall more into making her sad.I thought spending the little time I got at night Jayden was the perfect way to make Elena know how much I want to make a family with her again. I want to watch Elena get pregnant and swell with my child growing inside her.I want to watch her through all her terms and seasons in pregnancy, I want to be with her during child birth and while training our child. It hurts me every time I stare at Jayden, I remember rejecting him and his mother. I remember the look on Elena's face and it haunts me every night.Look at my boy, he's …he's all big now and I don't even know what his first word was. I don't know when he took.his first step or when he tasted his first real food. I wonder about the look on his face when he tasted bacon, because that kid is obsessed with bacon.And his fav
