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 POVBy the time you read this…I would be miles away beyond where you could reach me.Gone from your life for good, don't try to look cause you won't definitely find meTake last night as me saying Goodbye-I was sure he was reading this by now, waking up that morning and looking around the room, I had been shocked about finding myself in that state —All naked on his bed.Only a part of myself was aware of what happened last night and that part was well gone now.Gone up like smoke emptying into the air and all that was left was emotions.Every bit of emotion's spewed over the place like a spilled milk that couldn't be taken.He was asleep on the bed right next to where I was, a part of my mind felt ashamed of what had happened.It was obvious, what I still felt for this man—Passion, the passion was still right there in a corner of mind.It could be because of the past we had already or something else I couldn't describe but I never really had that urge to leave.Then I saw

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'

ELIZABETH'S POVQuite a Sunny day!The sun glowed against my skin in such a way that it brightened everything else but it couldn’t find its way to the cold feeling I was having in my chest.I had stood in front of the mirror longer than necessary this morning wondering how I was going to pull this off.I looked to be as the most difficult thing I had done in recent weeks and the thought of it was closing down on my mind clouding it with so much darkness I wondered if it was going to ever see daylight.The cold feeling thawing at my heart slipped down slowly tgtiw my nerves till it was colonizing not just my body but my soul—It was either anxiety or fear, one of the two.I could feel it slid into my stomach throughout the night that I’d lain awake for hours thinking of how today was going to be like at kist it was an excuse from having to think about Cole and debating what I would do.For my conscience, for my sanity, for the baby — doing nothing wasn’t an option— I needed the ba

ELIZABETH'S POVI had to admit one thing to her and that was the fact that it sucked , the whole thing about about being psychically linked to someone you shouldn't even consider sucked.In a way I thought I had felt connected to stranger but as it turned out that was even far from the case.Still, my response to Ollie was immediate and instinctive.“That’s not true, I never liked him.”We had been on the phone and we were in a bit if conversation on how he had changed so quickly.This was the same man we had thought we were attracted to and found charming a few days ago.“I saw the way you looked at him” She gave me a pointed look through ntge video call as though She too knew that I could feel the truth in her words."He sure sounds rude." She agreed.“But that . . . Hard to believe . . . you should have been there.” I wasn’t at a loss for words and she felt it was something casual — certainly not with me.So frequently in our friendship, and while we had very serious discussio

ELIZABETH'S POVLooking past this man a long trail of air trickled in through the open door, drifting through my hair.I blinked my eyes, my eyelids fluttering.Was I Shocked?Most definitely, that was the only emotion I was capable of expressing at that point in time, nothing more.Expressing emotions was totally the worst thing I would ever try doing—I suck at putting up a good act when it comes down to emotions.From shock to anxiety and so many other emotion that should be quite expressive, all I felt at that moment was shock.Shock about everything yet it remained dormant in me.There was a name for this feeling, a name for how I felt at this moment —NumbI felt Numb—Unable to breathe, unable to speak , unable to do anything.All I did was stand right here in front of this person and could not mutter a word.My heart rattled heavily as my eyes fluttered at face of this man, his cologne filled the air and made it intoxicating.I most definitely felt a rush if it through my veins
