ELENA'S POVI sat in a car and wondered if Adrian would fall for Jacinta's wild idea. Left to me, I would have gone without making any effort, but then, again it wouldn't be a terrible idea to make Adrian jealous after treating me like I was meant absolutely nothing to him.My phone chimed and when I looked at the caller ID; it was Adrian. I wondered what his reason was for calling me. If it was to cancel, it would render all the effort of getting dressed completely useless. I retrieved a small mirror from my purse and examined my reflection once more. I could not deny that Jacinta did an exceptional job on my face, and unconsciously, my thoughts drifted towards Danielle, and I couldn't help but wonder if Adrian would still feel that Danielle was more stunning and desirable than I was."No, Elena, you need to stop this," I shook my head and whispered to myself. "You are gorgeous and more than enough and Adrian was never the right man for you, that was why he failed to cherish you," I

ELENA'S POV For a moment, we both stood there staring at each other in silence. The hatred in his gaze was almost tangible and it made me deeply uncomfortable. I had been told he was coming back, but I never expected it to be this soon, or worse, to walk into the house and find him standing right there.What are you doing here?" He asked, his voice dripping with venom."Zach," I breathed out.For years I have not spoken to him nor called his name, and it felt strange on my tongue. Zach flinched at the sound of his name from my mouth."I asked you a question," Zach said. The more he spoke, the more his anger crept into his voice."Before I stubbornly walked out of the house, Zach and I had been the closest of siblings, even closer than Martin and I were, but after I left, he completely shut me out and I never bothered to reach out or amend the damage between us. I had been too caught up trying to make my marriage with Adrian work that I had ended up neglecting the people who mattered

DANIELLE’S POVDanielle walked into her house worn out, irritated, seething with anger, and drowning in bitterness.Why the heck did that stupid girl call Adrian right when things were about to happen. Danielle whispered to herself.She buried her face in the pillows and groaned in frustration after Adrian had bolted out after answering Elena's call and no amount of pleading or sweet word had worked to make him stay.This is important, Danielle," Adrian had said and rushed out without looking back."They had nearly kissed and Danielle knew that moment would have changed everything in her favor. It wasn't really difficult to get Adrian to have an affair with her before; he had been a straying husband drawn to the forbidden fruit that lived outside his marriage and she had been more than happy to offer it to him, but giving it to him had made Danielle hunger for him completely, so she had worked relentlessly and without rest to ensure that the marriage between Adrian and Elena crumbl

ELENA'S POV I wracked my brain desperately trying to come up with the next best solution to my problem. It was already getting dark, and was unsafe and unhealthy to be out here alone. My phone buzzed, and it was Jacinta. I picked up, sighing.Hi, Jac," I said. The noise in the background indicated that she was in a very lively place.Elena, did you get my text? I am currently out of town," Jacinta shouted into the phone. She sounded thrilled, and it was obvious that she was having fun.Yes, I did," I told Jacinta. Instantly, I felt a wave of guilt for interrupting Jacinta's fun. She had always been there for me, and it was no fault of hers that I was out here, pregnant and stranded. It would be selfish of me to ruin her fun with my troubles.What's up?" Jacinta asked.I was certain she was struggling to hear me. She laughed heartily at something someone said over there, and it tugged at my heart."I was just calling to check up on you," I lied. I was already causing too much chaos an

ELENA'S POV I strolled around the block, hoping to flag down a taxi quickly. It was good that I took a shower before coming out to see who was at the door, so I glanced around, waiting for a cab to take me to work. I felt frustrated and furious at Adrian, because now he had caused me to miss Declan's delicious and lavish breakfast.“Elena!I heard the angry and shouting sound of Adrian's voice behind me. I was shocked at first, but I did not make any attempt to turn when I realized that it was Adrian. I felt him stepping towards me, and I clenched my teeth in irritation.Why is he following me up now?" I muttered to no one in particular. I thought he would have gotten into his car and drove off without a second thought, so why was he on my neck now?Adrian reached where I stood and grabbed my hand, causing me to spin around and face him.Elena!" Adrian bellowed furiously again, even though he was already standing close to me now.I yanked my hand away from his grip, and it was easy b
