COLE'S POVI was right there at the end of the lounge when her call came in, it was the last thing I was expecting at that moment and just having her call me at that moment made me jittered.“Hello..." My voice sounded through the phone.I couldn't make out some of what she had said, but what she was more centered on was the fact that I should head to a pub as that was the only place she could meet with me at the moment.I don't know how I was going to deal that fact—I walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the window for what seemed like a very longer time than necessary.It looked inevitable, she was going on with the divorce.I had been speechless for what sounded like a long time, I didn't even try to talk her out of it because I didn't have it in me to.She looked like she wouldn't have wanted to hear anything though…What are you going to do man? I sighed deeply.I walked into the bathroom, and had my bath quickly.It took me just a while to get into my clothes —Deep

COLE'S POVI felt a crick in my neck ache as I awoke curled up on the seat. It had been one week and I had not been able to get myself to do anything meaningful other than mop around the house over spilled milk.It was really frustrating after feeling the whole situation, in a way I wanted it all gone, I wished I was in a kind of dream state and all this were just facades or perhaps fragments of my dream that would soon go away.My phone buzzed.I picked and saw Eliza's number, I knew what she was most probably calling for and it was starting to look I wasn't going to give it her, the truth about everything was that i had not even opened the file it was still there somewhere around that I didn't know—Still sealed as she gave it to me.Sunlight filtered into the room in rays, lighting dust particles in the air. I looked around at the state of the room,from the pizza cartons and other take outs to the empty bottles on the floor.Guess I would have to send for one of the maids at the p

Elizabeth's POV I was aware of how funny he could be so I made sure he turned his face before undressing—I could feel anxiety and so many other feelings traveling around my body. It felt like the first time I would be getting naked with him right there and I could feel it from the way my heart was pounding lightly. Cole looked uninterested, because he had his gaze fixed to the window, looking outward. I had the feeling of anxiety rushed like a wave of reluctant energy beneath the surface of my skin. My breath came in deep shallow pants as I reached for the hem of my t-shirt that was soiled, lifting it over my head. I took one more good look at him over my shoulders with an erratic beat of hearts, as my shirt hit the floor. The quiet noise of fabric on hardwood sounded loud on the floor as a soft wind blew through the room as the still kitchenaid met my bare midsection. My breasts pressed against the fabric of my bra as they tingled somehow in expectation, or perhaps in d

COLE'S POVThe wind that blew through the room had the same energy of what had happened over the past hours.It was gentle and at the same time came with a kind of sexual appeal.The way the curtains moved as moonlight shimmered through the blinds, down to the way the night was-Every single thing looked like it had been predestined by fate or rather by the sheer will of nature.It was fate that took her away and at the same time, that same fate was bringing her back to me in a way that had looked almost impossible.This part of fate had looked blink and too far to reach, yet in a way that I couldn't have explained, I could sense it succumbing to me again.Looking back at everything, it was certainly the last thing in my mind that could ever happen, I could have made a hundred guesses over the course of the week of what could possibly happen but certainly not this.This had been the last thing I had thought would happen…when she had left through the door I and thought that was the la

ELIZABETH'S POV Jealousy?I felt every bit of it,and the manner at which it came right at my heart felt as though it would be devoured.To make matters worse for my mind Ollie said she looked heavier than I was.It was easy to put one and two together and come down to the conclusion that I had been a fool all along—I could easily trace her pregnancy to the night he cheated.It clearly meant he was aware of the fact that she was pregnant all along yet omec again he had hidden it from me."Did you tell him about yours?" She askedI couldn't myself say a word at least non that mattered at this moment anyways.There was this shame that I had lost everything to her, and it had happened so fast —so fast in such a way that I still found it funny.."Are you saying he was shopping with her."Olivia nods her head.My whirling mind clutched at a little piece of evidence, I had thought to just lay it low about everything but it was looking like I would lose out of everything at the end if I don'
