Chapter Fifty-one

ELENA POV “How did you know about that? I didn't even know she was allergic to clams.” Aldric asked, looking between Marcus and I. “I'm sorry this isn't for your table.” The waiter said, taking the food away. “Oh, I'm sorry. My hands moved before I could think. Elena is also allergic to clams and the resemblance just threw me off guard that I didn't think…” “It's okay. I understand.” Aldric said shortly. I looked between Aldric and Marcus and the tension in the air was thickening, so I decided to break the silence. “So Marcus, how did you know to find us here of all places?” I asked with a smile. “Aria suggested here. You know Aria, right? Elena's best friend.” “Yeah I know Aria.” How the hell did she know that I was going to be here with Aldric today or was it just a coincidence. I really hope it was though, I really hope. The drive back was silent. I don't know if it was comfortable or not because the tension kept fluctuating. It wasn't stable, one moment I feel like he's

Chapter Fifty-two

ELENA POV “In a hurry mi lady?” Adrian asked with a smirk. I blinked, shocked that the one person I was trying to avoid just happened to bump into me, what wonderful luck. I pulled away from Adrian, “Yes, I mean no. I …uh ..I just,” I paused and exhaled, “I just need to get to my room.” “Oh, okay.” Adrian said, stepping out of the way for me to pass. I stared at Adrian shocked, that was odd. But I didn't want to put too much meaning into his sudden change of character. I chose to ignore it, I took a step to pass Adrian when he suddenly held my elbow preventing me from taking another step. “Adrian, I…” “You went to see the doctor today, what's the result?” “Adrian…” “Trust me,I just want to know you're fine.” Adrian said concern written all over his face, “Then you can be on your way. You are afterall coming to my room…” he paused his eyes darting to the white envelope with the hospital logo on it, “That's the result isn't it? Let me…” I quickly put the file behind me, making

CHAPTER Fifty-three

ELENA POV I gasped, splashing water on my face as I vomited for the second time this morning. My morning sickness has worsened these past few days, it's been more difficult trying to hide the symptoms from Aldric. I'm just grateful that he has been completely occupied with work,he comes home late though he always makes time for me. He would make love to me, confessing his love over and over again. It is beautiful how he does it but it all makes me feel more guilty about the fact that I'm hiding something so important from him. I have limited time, Dr Suzie is on thin thread as my mother-in-law has been pressuring her on the reason why I visited her. Now I'm confused if I'm sick because of the pregnancy or from the guilt building up every single day from my lies. I breathed out shakingly when a knock interrupted my internal conflict. “Elara? Hey you okay?” Aldric asked, through the closed door. I was shocked to hear his voice since he had already left earlier this morning. I c

Chapter Fifty-four

ELENA POV “Elena, hey, it's Marcus.”I opened my mouth to say something but Marcus was quick to continue.“How are you? You haven't been active on social media so I decided to call.” I could hear him smile through the phone.I exhaled shakingly as I folded my shaky hands into a fist.I stood up pacing as I replied, “Marcus, hey. How are you?”“I haven't actually been good, I haven't heard from you in forever. Hope you're okay?” Marcus asked, concern filled in his voice.“Of course, why wouldn't I be?” I answered too quickly.“Okay, well I'm around. I traveled down to see you, I missed you.”“Oh really, that's amazing.” I said, pretending to be surprised by his message, while I looked around in case anyone should come towards the garden.“Yeah, right?” I heard him chuckle, “So I was thinking maybe we could see today, I don't think I can stay another day without seeing you, what do you think?”I stopped on my track frozen as I thought of what or how to reply. I think I must have been s

Chapter Fifty-five

ELENA POV I paced back and forth in my room as I thought of the excuse to give Aldric so I could go out and meet with Marcus.Aldric refused to leave me alone for today, he said he wanted to monitor my health himself because of my constant vomiting, morning sickness and unstable appetite but I really needed to meet with Marcus.Marcus finally booked a reservation at an expensive place with Aldric's help. He texted me the address and time and I had only one hour left to dress up and go meet him. There has to be something I can tell Aldric so he can let me go out. Now not that I can't leave the house, I just can't now because of my health. According to Aldric he'll follow me everywhere until he's sure I'm all better, but not to go see Marcus. I exhaled, determined to speak with Aldric.I walked to the door, I opened it to see Aldric standing there with his hands raised to knock.“Hey,” I said surprised.Aldric smiled, biting his lips, “El, look,I know I promised to…to spend the entire

Chapter Fifty-six

ELENA POV I suddenly couldn't breathe as I read through the message for the second time. I sat on my bed as I tried to process what Elara meant by she was back. She couldn't be here, right? She's supposed to be far away with the man she loves, I can't let her come back into our lives like that. Not after I've accepted this life and Aldric as mine.I know I've been cheating on Aldric with his brother Adrian but I love Aldric with all my heart. Adrian just happens to know my secret and is using it against me. But if Elara really is back, does that mean that all I did to keep this secret was in vain?I gasped, as my hands suddenly began to shake. I stood up and made my way to my table. I picked up the glass of water, drowning the entire glass of water. I began to breathe fast, I decided to drink more water to calm myself down, I took the jug with shaky hands making the jug hit the glass and it fell to the ground.“Shit,” I bent down to pick up the pieces of the broken glass when a tiny

Chapter Fifty-seven

ELENA POV I shouldn't let what Adrian said get to me. For now I need to remain calm and make an excuse, Aldric will always listen to me, right?Determined I smiled, “What could I possibly be hiding from you,” I faked a chuckle, “Well, about the dress, I sent the same design and color to my sister when I bought it, so she can wear it to dinner date.”“You did? But Elena didn't have a boyfriend, well the one you were aware of.” Aldric said, staring at me for more explanation.I sighed, “Yeah, I know..I just…. I sent it to tease her, so she can finally loosen up.” I ended with a smile.Yeah, this would be something Elara would definitely do to me.“Then why is yours out?” Aldric asked, gesturing to the dress in my dressing table.Right, I forgot about that.“Well I wanted to look sexy for you when you come back from work but as you can see, I wasn't fast enough.” I smiled widely.Damn, I didn't know I could think this fast. I need an award.“El love,” Aldric's voice suddenly became low

Chapter Fifty-eight

ELENA POV I tried to control my breath watching my sister act like she was me.We all sat in the dining room directly opposite each other. She acted so differently and it looked weird. I couldn't concentrate on anything as I kept my gaze on Elara who looked way too calm and enjoying everything.Me on the other hand, I was nothing but calm. My palm was sweaty from how nervous I was and my head was swirling with different unanswered questions.What is going on?What is she doing here?What the hell happened between Elara and James?She was so bent on the fact that James was the one for her but now she's here. I'm so confused.But most importantly, why is she here with Adrian after all I told her about him?“It is indeed surprising that Adrian's girlfriend turned out to be Elena.” Aldric's Mom said with a smile passing Elara the plate of meat, “It's nice to finally meet you.”“Thank you Mrs Harrison, Adrian wouldn't stop talking about you.” Elara said with a smile.I don't talk like tha

Chapter Fifty-nine

ELENA POV “What are you talking about?” I asked, blinking as I tried to understand what just left the lips of my lovely sister, “You said you were in love with James, you said you were getting married…”Elara cut me off with a wave, “Yeah but I found out I still love Aldric and I want to be with him again. I miss him.”I swallowed, breathing heavily, “You are confusing me sister. You said you didn't love…”“Forget what I said, Elena. I want Aldric back, his love, his warmth, his money, everything. I want it all back and it's only possible because of you, you my dear sister kept my marriage for me.” Elara said, with a bright smile. “How can I ever repay you?”I froze staring at my sister's face. She looked so happy like everything was fine. How can she even think like that?She runs away from everyone whenever she feels like and returns whenever she feels like. Does she even think about other people?“Well, don't think too much, Aldric is super rich, I'll take care of you forever.” El

Chapter Sixty

ELARA POV Coming back home I thought that everything would work out perfectly well.Elena would hand Aldric back over to me so she could go live her life and I continue to be me and Aldric will never find out but I was wrong. When Adrian came to find me he said everything was and Elena was ready but it was all a lie, Elena didn't even know I was coming, she wasn't informed of Adrian's help. What the hell just happened?I yelled, stomping my feet. I turned facing Adrian who stood there with a raised brow. It was suffocating in the car so I asked Adrian to pull over, now we're standing at the road side, well I'm standing at the road side and Adrian just leaned comfortably on the car.I scoffed, “You're oddly calm.”“Aren't I supposed to be?”Annoyed, I strode back to stand in front of him, “No, you're not supposed to be. Elena is furious and she was shocked to see me, you said she knew.” I said a bit loud.“I assume you texted her, she's after all your sister.” calmly Adrian replied.
