Betraying the Heiress Chapter 18
"Well, we don't need to ask permission because Mommy herself suggested that I go on vacation in the summer with you and my friends," I told her."Really?! That's good news. Go ahead and tell Josiah that later. Are we also with Allison?" She asked, that's why I nodded. "Yup, because the more the merrier," I answered then shrugged my shoulders again. "In that case, I'll take Elijah and Stefan with me. They'll probably go on vacation too," she said, causing my chest to heave. "Huh? Why would you take them with you? They also have a different circle of friends so let them go," I told her because it was embarrassing. It would be embarrassing for their friends if we invited them. Maybe the others there are not comfortable with us so they might not enjoy their vacation. "I'll just ask. If they have an outing, then I won't invite them," she answered me then shrugged her shoulders. I just nodded to her after sighing. Clara has already chosen a swimsuit and I have also chosen one. I wore

"Stefan!" I screamed in shock. I quickly went to him to stop him from punching the defenseless man there. My heart is beating faster now because I wonder what he can do to the man who insulted me. Fortunately, another staff member came to help me get Stefan away from there. When they finally got Stefan away from there, I saw the man who insulted me was left lying there. His lip was cracked and there was also a trace of a little blood there. He just glared at Stefan while he smirked. A staff there helped him to stand up but he just took his hand away and he stood up himself. "You still haven't really changed, Enriquez. You're still violent to this day," the man told Stefan. I frowned and looked at the man's appearance because I might have seen him before, but no matter how hard I tried to look at him, I knew to myself that we had never met before. "Y-You know him?" I stammered to Stefan. Stefan looked at me for a moment and was about to speak, but the man led him there again. "Yo

I went to my room carrying a box of beer that I bought. I put it on my table and looked at the door of my room to see if I was going back downstairs where my sisters and friends were hanging out. Until now, I'm still annoyed by what Stefan said because I feel like I'm more at fault and not the man who molested me. I just lay there and went straight to the big mirror in my room. I looked over my entire outfit and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. That's not too revealing either. "Eli?"I heard Allison outside my room while knocking there. I didn't even have to open it because she came in on her own. I just turned to Allison and looked at her as if asking what she needs from me. "What are you doing here?" Allison asked me. "Nothing," I answered her, then shrugged my shoulders. "Are you and Stefan fighting?" she asked again. "Of course not," I answered. "I was just annoyed by what he said. I can see that there is no problem with what I am wearing, but he was referring to m

I stopped myself from letting out the tears that formed in my eyes. I just laughed it off and looked up so my tears wouldn't drip. I'm getting emotional again and I don't want to show it in front of Stefan right now. "I'm so sorry, Eli if I asked about that," Stefan told me. I inhaled and took a deep breath before answering him. "No, no. That's fine. I just missed him more," I said then just laughed at the pain I felt. "I'm sure that wherever your Dad is now, he's watching over you and your siblings, especially you," he said to ease my heart. I nodded and smiled because I know that even though Dad is gone now and even though we don't see him anymore, I feel like he is still with us every day. I got ready myself as I stood properly there and shook my clothes before asking him to go back to the swimming pool area where our friends were but he went ahead of me. "I'm sorry. Have you eaten, Eli? I didn't bring you food before I came here," he said. "No, it's okay. I'll just eat ther

That was the only thing we did at that time, and the others went back to the swimming pool to swim while I stayed at the table because I enjoyed drinking beer there. "I think the beer we bought is not enough for us," I said. I've already had a few bottles and I also sometimes drink Bacardi, and other wines we bought. Stefan also stayed by my side and didn't go with his friends because he was watching over me. "Yes. Do you want us to buy again?" he asked. I laughed and shook my head. "No, that's enough. If it's not enough, I still have some inside that was hidden earlier," I answered. It's already afternoon and I don't want to go out anymore. There are also wines inside the house that we can drink so if we run out we can still have something to drink. "So, beer is your favorite?" Stefan asked. "Yeah. This tastes better," I answered. "Are you having fun today, Eli?" he asked again. I smiled as I watched our friends happily playing in the middle of the swimming pool before nodd

"Your ex is here. Don't you have a plan to at least greet him?" Stefan asked me. We finished playing in the swimming pool and now we are just soaking in it. Clara and Elijah left for a while to get us drinks because I asked her to get me a beer. "Why would I do that? There is no need to greet him," I replied. That is the truth. Why should I greet the person who is part of my past? Especially, we didn't get along the last time we talked because I always avoided him. I looked where Allison and Jackson were, and I saw Jackson looking where I was. I just looked away because Clara and Elijah had already returned. They sat on the edge of the swimming pool and put down the beer I asked them to get, so I immediately came over there. "Jackson has been looking at you for a while now. I think he's regretting breaking up with you," Clara said then laughed. "If I were Jackson, I would also regret it," Stefan said there. "Why did he look for another girl? You're the full package, Eli," Elija

I initially assumed that Stefan was joking, but when I noticed that he was on his phone, I continued to stand there. I was startled as Jackson abruptly walked up to me, and I struggled to make any movement."Eli." He called me.Allison's voice rang in my ears, "Jackson! Come here!" I stumbled there and got to my feet while staring at Jackson. I also just realized that I can now look at him in the eyes, but it won't be for long because when I do, all the wonderful moments from our three years of dating come flooding back to me. Allison ceased calling Jackson after I gave her the all-clear."Do you need something, Jackson?" I asked him. I cannot be impolite to him just because of our history since he is our visitor."Nothing, Eli. I just want to talk to you if it's okay with you," he replied. I exhaled deeply, and there we were again, just the two of us. Even if we have nothing to talk about he still wants us to talk. This is how he wants to communicate with me again. I asked him on

The party at our house that night was fun and memorable even though my ex Jackson was there. I am also thankful to Stefan because he never left my side. He accompanied me the whole night and I admit that during the night we spent together I got to know him little by little, as well as his friends. The next day, Mommy got home from her business trip, and as usual, she bought a lot of gifts for the three of us, Allison and Stella. We were also busy at school, especially me, because of our exams. I also didn't go to a party for a few weeks because I really had to focus on my studies. I was very stressed with my major subjects, but I just enjoyed them. I can't do anything if I just complain, especially since I liked the doctoring course.I was also so busy studying that I barely slept. If I can sleep, it's only four hours. Two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. That's why I'm so proud of myself because I'm still alive today.When I finished one of my exams, I went straigh

"Won't your boyfriend be angry? I can explain to Yasmin that you can't join us," Stefan said as we walked to Yasmin's hospital room.I shook my head and smirked a little because he really believed that Lance was my boyfriend."There's nothing to be angry about. Don't mind about it, Stefan. It's okay. I assure you," I told him, and he smiled.He sighed and shook his head at me, as if I couldn't convince him that it was all right for me."I just don't want you to fight because of this," he answered when we finally entered Yasmin's room.I saw Yasmin's frown when she looked at us; that's why I smiled at her, because she seemed to have heard the last thing Stefan said."Get angry? Who gets angry? Is your mommy taking you away from us, Doc?" Yasmin asked one after the other.I quickly shook my head at her and looked at Stefan, who led me to walk. He immediately went straight to the table and put the paper bag he was carrying there."No, it's not her mother, Yasmin. I just said that, becaus

"Come on, Eli. Tell me the truth. I won't be angry if you and Stefan get back together again," Josiah scolded me.I sighed and raised an eyebrow at him. I told him earlier that Stefan and I didn't get back together, but he didn't want to believe that."Stop it, Jos. We just talked. That's it," I answered him.We are now walking to a restaurant near the hospital. As usual, even when I'm outside, I know there are bodyguards following me. It was already dinner time, so we decided to eat outside because we had duty all night."Talked? You said that you already talked. I've seen you two talking so many times that's why you can't use an excuse that word to me," he said one after another as if he didn't really believe what I was saying.I shook my head again because I didn't know how I could convince him that Stefan and I really just talked earlier."If you don't want to believe me, then you better ask him by yourself. We really just talked for our closure, and we also talked about the false

After coming from the precinct, I went straight to the hospital. Josiah immediately approached me to ask what happened."Stella mentioned to me that you are from the precinct. How are you? Have you talked to your dad's twin brother?" Josiah immediately asked me.I nodded and sighed."Yup. I have also introduced them to Tito Adler, and we still get to know him," I answered.Josiah nodded at me before he fixed his laboratory coat. He was about to speak, but he turned his gaze behind me, which made me frown, and looked at it.I saw Stefan approaching us; that's why I held my breath."I'll just check on some of my patients. I'll come to your office later," Josiah said, then immediately left.I panicked for a moment because I didn't expect him to leave right away, but I calmed myself down."Doc Eli," Stefan called me.I kept looking at him, and I could see the doubt in his eyes, as if he wasn't sure if he should approach me now.I cleared my throat and stood properly before I spoke."Mr. E

"How can you not know about that, Mom?" Allison asked."My gosh! If he hadn't introduced himself, I might have believed that it was Dad!" Stella said one after the other."How can I know about that? Your Daddy never mentioned to me that he has a twin!" Mommy answered, then sat down on the sofa.We are at home now because, after Tito Adler's statement appeared on the news, Mommy called us to come home. I thought they wouldn't be able to watch it right away because they were busy with their work, but I was surprised when they watched it right away."He looks like Dad. I suddenly miss Daddy," Allison said with a sad voice.I remembered the night Uncle Adler appeared to me, and I was also very devastated because I thought it was Dad in front, but it wasn't. I understand Allison's feelings because I have felt the same."So what's your plan, Mom? Don't tell me we're not going to help him, huh?" asked Stella.I looked up at Mommy because I was interested in her answer to Stella's question. I

I don't know how many minutes passed until Mommy finally calmed down, but there was still a trace of anger in her eyes. "I-I just want to help the baby, but that doesn't mean I'm going back to Stefan," I explained to them. Even Stella did not want to agree to me adopting Elias because she said it was not my obligation. Another thing is that they really hate Stefan, even though I told them that I forgave him a long time ago. "How can you be so sure about that? I'm sure that man will use you again!" Stella said, annoyed. "It looks like you're planning to fool around for the rest of your life, Eliana. Hey! I don't know if I should be the one to say it. You're at the right age, so it's up to you!" Mommy kept preaching to me. I sighed again because I couldn't understand why they were thinking of me getting back together with Stefan, even though it never crossed my mind. "I just want to help the baby, but I have no intention of getting back together with Stefan. I don't have any feeli

After I got Yasmin back to her room, I let her rest. Stefan was still there, and Elias was asleep in the little crib. "Thank you, Doc. How is she?" Stefan asked me. Yasmin fell asleep immediately because her body gets tired quickly. Stefan, on the other hand, stopped what he was doing to come to me and say thank you. "She was fine, and we have already talked. She just mentioned something to me earlier," I answered, then shrugged my shoulders. I could see the slight surprise in his eyes, as if he already knew what it was about. "A-About what?" he stuttered. I avoided looking at him, and I looked at Yasmin, who was sleeping on her bed, as if she were very tired. "She doesn't want to have the surgery," I answered.I feel so sorry for her, because even if I don't agree with what she wants, I can't do anything else. "Yes, she already told me about that. I don't agree to what she wants even though her funds for her treatment have been used up," Stefan explained, causing me to turn t

I saw that the sun was about to set, and I was glad to witness it now because it was almost night when I left the hospital. It's a good thing that Yasmin asked for this, so I was able to watch the sunset with her. "How's your feeling?" I asked Yasmin. We are now behind the hospital, where there are many trees and a large oval field. This is the place I chose for my hospital so that I could give the patients a big space. The air is fresh there, and I sometimes go here when I want to be alone. There are also other patients there who are being taken around by their nurses. "As of now, I feel fine and feel no pain," Yasmin answered me. I gave her the vegetable salad that Josiah gave me earlier because I couldn't eat it anymore. I only drink iced coffee now. Yasmin was looking at the big oval field while sitting in her wheelchair, so I sat on a bench right next to her. "Your surgery is coming soon. Are you ready?" I asked her. I looked at Yasmin, and I saw a lot of changes in her ph

I didn't last long in the nursery room either, and Stefan and I were able to talk there, so when we finished, I went back to my work. "You see?" Josiah asked me when we met again.I took a deep breath and then nodded in response to him. He smiled slightly at me, then lightly patted my shoulder. "I feel good about the baby, Jos. When I saw and touched him earlier, it was like I was being with Margaret again," I told him, and then I couldn't help but smile. I saw Josiah immediately shake his head while looking at me, so I slightly raised an eyebrow at him. "How many times do I have to tell you, Eli? Separate your personal feelings in situations like this so you don't get hurt in the end," he said to remind me again. I held my breath and tried to smile at him before speaking. "I know, Jos. I just felt something strange about the baby," I answered him. I know that my weakness is children because I lost my own child. I just sometimes think that Yasmin is very lucky because, even tho

I went straight to Lance's room and found him awake. He was talking with Criza, his sister. They looked at me at the same time when I entered, so I smiled. "Doc, Eli." Criza greeted me. I smiled at Criza and couldn't help but remember what I discovered about what happened to her. I turned to Criza to have a kiss with her, then I looked at Lance, who was just looking at me silently. "I'll leave you two here for now. I'm just going to buy something outside," Criza said to say goodbye. I nodded to her, and I watched her until she got out of Lance's hospital room. When Criza finally left, I turned to Lance again. He smirked as if he was going to start teasing me again, so I immediately came to him and lightly slapped his arm. "Ouch! Eliana! Did you really come here to hurt me?" he asked, then laughed slightly. "Yeah, because you're annoying! Why did you catch the bullet meant for me? You don't have nine lives," I complained to him. He laughed, so I glared at him. "Stop laughing. T
