*ELENA’S POV The moment I stepped out of the hospital, I quickened my pace so much that even if Adrian intended to catch up with me, it wouldn’t be easy for him. I made sure to leave first and, luckily, I found a cab already waiting outside. The last thing I wanted was for Adrian to follow me out of the hospital and start blaming me for spoiling our first appointment.I knew that it was my fault, but I would rather swallow a lizard than admit that it was my fault.I gave Jacinta’s address to the cab driver, and he drove off immediately. Instinctively, I glanced back to check if Adrian had tried to catch up with me to explain things or even ask how I was doing, but I saw him leisurely strolling out of the hospital and heading straight to his parked car without even sparing a glance around.It hurt me more than I wanted to admit that Adrian was being so nonchalant about my feelings. By tomorrow, I would have to see him in the office again, and there was nothing I could do about it. I p

ELENA’S POVI stared at Danielle, and for some minutes I didn’t know how to react at her audacity.“How did you even know I work here?” I asked. It wasn’t the question I planned to ask, but that it was what came out of my mouth.This was my place of work, certainly not the right place for this kind of conversation. Well , maybe Danielle knew she wouldn’t dare show this level of audacity elsewhere without getting a clear piece of my mind if she had confronted me in a different place.Before she could open her mouth to say a word, the two ladies who constantly talked about her stepped in. The moment they saw Danielle, they gasped in awe.Oh my goodness!” they exclaimed in delight as they rushed over to us.I caught the proud look in Danielle’s eyes at their reaction, and the smile that played on her lips held a hint of mischief. I rolled my eyes in quiet disgust.“It’s really you, Danielle!” they squealed excitedly, speaking at the same time as though they had been waiting for this

ELENA'S POV It took every bit of courage and discipline not to burst into laughter at Adrian's expression there. Indeed, Jacinta truly deserved an award for coming up with this idea that I once thought was Insane and not something I was capable of doing.You would need to keep Adrian constantly alert with a behavior he will never see coming,” Jacinta had said before diving into the rest of the plan she already mapped out in her mind.I had only wanted things to settle smoothly with Adrian after reaching out to my workplace for consideration, but the moment Danielle showed up to threaten and humiliate me, I knew I had no choice but to follow Jacinta’s advice.I had been somewhat startled to find Adrian sitting in the doctor’s office and waiting, but because I came fully prepared, I did not allow my shock to take over my emotions.“Are we ready to see what we have in there?” Doctor Kelvin asked Adrian and I as I lay on the stretcher.After the agreement to act as grown-ups and be peac

DANIELLE ‘S POVBeing a rising star and giving countless interviews did not prepare Danielle for the pain that came with Adrian’s rejection.She swallowed hard and tried to steady her breathing, and it was almost a relief that Adrian wasn’t paying attention to her. She knew her pain was obvious, but if Adrian truly looked into her eyes, he would see how deeply he had hurt her.Danielle began to burn with anger and jealousy, anger at Adrian for not appreciating the fact that she had remained with him all this time, and jealousy toward Elena. The witch must have planned the pregnancy; Danielle was certain of it.She was an actress by extension and was familiar with many of the tricks people used just to get what they wanted. Elena must have already realized that Adrian would never stay loyal and faithful to her the way she desired, so she decided to trick him into a forced commitment.Danielle had been thrilled that she had successfully manipulated Elena into granting Adrian a divorce; o

ELENA'S POVYou are absolutely wearing this dress," Jacinta said and threw a red dress at me.I could not believe that she dug out that dress from my wardrobe. I took the dress and studied it; it was a red dress with a tiny shoulder straps, a deep v-cut at the back, and a long slit."How did this dress get into my wardrobe?" I asked Jacinta."Are you being serious right now?" Jacinta asked as she gazed at me like I had lost my mind. "Were you out of your senses when I picked this dress at the boutique the other day?”Jacinta asked giggling."You did?" I asked her. Honestly, I had no clue that she picked the dress, because the entire time, I was dwelling on what had happened with Danielle and I just let Jacinta to do all the shopping for me."Gosh, you are a pitiful case," Jacinta teased.“Jacinta, it’s a co-parenting meeting scheduled by the hospital, nothing more. It’s not a date,” I tried to remind her, though I already it was waste of time .“If it wasn’t meant to be a date, why
