CHAPTER 051

ELENA'S POV I changed into the remarkably well tailored uniforms and jumped straight into work. The coffee shop had only a handful of customers, so it was just me and another warm and friendly young girl around my age, Clara, who worked right alongside me as a waitress."You must be new around here," she said as I joined her in arranging the tables. We both had on the same uniforms that all the waitresses wore.Yes," I responded quietly and did not bother to add anything more.Clara seemed like a talkative person, and I really didn’t want to engage with her because back in the dressing room, when I changed into my uniform, I had already decided to make this place my new home.Jacinta was still out of town, and we had barely kept in touch since then. Zach was back at the house, and with all the issues surrounding his return, I couldn’t go home. Essentially , I was homeless and jobless. At least here, no one knew me, unlike at home.It also gave me a sense of satisfaction knowing that A

CHAPTER 052

ADRIAN'S POV Adrian did his best to gather as much information as he could from Elena's workplace, going as far as waiting around for a while just to get the attention of one of the workers there.Excuse me, I hope I am not interrupting, but could you possibly spare a couple of minutes for me?" Adrian asked when he was eventually able to get the attention of one of them.Yes, absolutely," she said gently. She was warm and courteous, because she assumed that Adrian was there to make use of their services."Would you mind telling me your name?" Adrian asked politely.She misunderstood Adrian's question, and right away, she shifted from being formal and professional to being personally interested in Adrian.Adrian picked up on her change in mood, but went along with it just so that he could get the details he had come for.Jasmine, sir," she said in a flirtatious tone."You have such a lovely name," he said to her and she responded with a sweet smile."I appreciate that, sir," she respo

CHAPTER 053

ADRIAN'S POV "Do you mean every part of her life?" Marshall asked. He sounded doubtful over the phone.Yes, would that be an issue?" Adrian asked. The last thing he needed right now was to be discouraged by anyone, especially his lawyer Marshall.Adrian wasn’t convinced that Elena wouldn’t try this trick on him again. With her, it was always a case of “once bitten, twice wary scenario. What even angered Adrian the most was that he had to drive all the way to Elena’s house and likely face his greatest enemies, her brothers and father, which would be leaving him at their mercy.“fuck you, Elena,” Adrian grumbled under his breath.He was certain Elena knew exactly what she was doing and was simply trying to get back at him for the press release, ignoring that it was her careless behavior that drove him to act that way.Adrian knew that Elena was petty, because if she weren’t, she wouldn’t have filed for divorce over a one-time affair.Well, after this, Elena would realize that she picke

CHAPTER 054

ELENA'S POV After wrapping up for the day, I stayed behind with Clara to tidy up and arrange the chairs together. Clara flipped the sign to "closed" and came back to help me stack the chairs into place. I noticed that throughout the day, she had been attempting to dial a number, and she always wore a worried look on her face each time she tried to call the number."What is the problem?" I asked Clara, even though I had already made it clear that I was not looking to make friends, I simply could not overlook the fact that she appeared worried and troubled. And also , she had been very kind to me from the very beginning even though she did not have to be.“It is okay,” Clara insisted, but I could tell she wasn’t being honest with me, because the worried look was still lingering on her face.“You know you can talk to me, right?” I asked Clara.“I don’t want to weigh you down with my problems, especially as you’re new here and you don’t like being disturbed,” Clara said.I nodded my head

CHAPTER 055

ELENA'S POV “Zach? Did… did you just say Zach?” I stammered, my breath stuck in my throat while my heart hammered against my chest.This world was incredibly small. I knew my brother wasn’t the only person named Zach in the entire city, but Clara’s story matched his based on what Martin had told me.Yes,” Clara said. She looked at me with anticipation in her eyes. “Do you know him?” she asked urgently.I shook my head immediately. “No, I don’t know him,” I lied.Clara lowered her head sadly. “I wish you did,” she said as finished the last sip of her beer. She then called the waiter and ordered another bottle of beer.“Do you think you need more bottles?” I asked Clara, worried about her but also eager to hear more. My heart was still racing, yet I felt it was fortunate to have met someone who knew Zach closely. I couldn’t help feeling lucky to be sitting with Clara at that moment.Sure, I do. I’m not the one who’s pregnant, you are,” Clara said, smiling softly. “Why are you pregnant

CHAPTER 056

Elena’s father had shut the door in his face, and they didn’t even bother to open it again, even after Adrian swallowed his pride and rang the doorbell a second time.”He walked away feeling deeply insulted and resolved to proceed with legal action against Elena.Now, Adrian couldn’t even tell whether Elena was home or not. He would never admit it to anyone, but he was deeply worried,especially knowing that she was carrying his children.Adrian hadn’t expected Elena to make things this difficult for him. If she hadn’t shut him out of their child’s antenatal care and birth, he might have feared something had gone wrong, but now he was certain she was deliberately avoiding him.She knew the only way to get back at him was by not showing up for their doctor’s appointment. Today was meant to be their meeting at the restaurant, but Elena hadn’t come either.Adrian stayed at the restaurant for almost three h

CHAPTER 057

ELENA'S POV The rest of the night with Clara passed in a blur, because after she admitted she was the one who introduced Zach to the dangerous man, I tuned out everything else she said.I felt the urge to grab Clara and shout at her for causing all this chaos in my family, because if she hadn’t introduced Zach to something as dangerous as drug trafficking…As she got really drunk, she started confessing much of what she had done before and after meeting Zach, and it became clear that she was the one who dragged him into the life he’s now living, changing him completely from the brother I once knew.After that night, I decided I no longer wanted to be friends with Clara. At first, when she told me Zach was her boyfriend, I had been thrilled, because it meant I could get a glimpse into his life, something Martin couldn’t tell me.So the following morning, when I got to the coffee shop and Clara showed up a few minutes later, I gave her the cold shoulder.“Hey Elena, good morning!” Clara

She had decided to use the lunch to share her news about her and Adrian and she could hardly wait.“You have won, baby girl,” Danielle told herself. She gazed at her reflection in the mirror, clearly impressed, and added, “You’re absolutely stunning. No wonder Adrian couldn’t resist you.Danielle was certain that she was more beautiful than Elena, and her looks had been one of the factors that brought her to where she was today.Danielle knew that Adrian loved her, he just needed a little encouragement and she understood that, which was why she was doing everything she could to secure her place in Adrian's life.Sure he can resist you, you’re the one forcing yourself on him.Danielle f

CHAPTER 059

DANIELLE'S POV Danielle deliberately stayed awake, waiting for Adrian. To be honest, she was surprised that he was still outside at this hour, because the Adrian she knew always wanted to be home before it got too late. And now, it was already past 12 a.m.Danielle kept herself busy watching a show on television while she waited for Adrian, dressed in her sexy nightwear so she wouldn’t fall asleep.

CHAPTER 060

ELENA'S POV When Clara walked into my small apartment freely as if I hadn’t been giving her cold shoulders all day, I had no choice but to close the door. I was irritated and uncomfortable but it was clear that she was a busybody type , and there was nothing I could do to push her away from me.After shutting the door, I stood there trying to calm my rising temper. When I turned to confront her, she was already sitting comfortably on my bed with a shy smile on her face.“I told you I wanted to keep things more proper and respectful with you from now on, Clara,” I began, trying hard to sound stern. If I want to pass my message across, I had to be serious withy tone, because I needed Clara to understand I meant every word. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t ignore the fact that she was the one who had led Zach into the danger he was in, and I couldn’t let that go easily. The only way I could keep myself from reacting badly was to avoid her. “So what are you doing here?” I asked C
