The pain was indescribable, and it felt like the world had come crashing down around me.My mind was consumed with thoughts of betrayal and heartbreak.

A Gasp.Then my eyes fluttered open as I coughed heavily, it took a long time for my eyes to adjust to everything around but eventually it did.I looked from the girl I had seen earlier at my door, to another standing not too far, to a lady leaning over me.“What happened?”The last thing I could remember myself doing was walking into the bathroom and that was it, everything else seemed to be in a distant part of my memory.There was the picture of Cole at the back of my head and darkness, that was all I thought of.“The medic are on their way. ” someone stood at the doorway and announced to the room.I could see the sigh of relief from anyone and still looked confused at the whole situation…Did I slip and hit my head out?Did I pass out?The sound of siren filled the air as the ambulance pulled into the driveway.Apparently someone had made an issue out of this.I wad lead through the hallway that had people on either side trying have a good look at face.I shunned the look that was

ELIZABETH'S POV"For the last time I didn't try to kill myself."I tried all I could to convince them as they kept asking all manner of weird questions to get under my head, it was expected…it was human-like to expect the worst from people but this was worse.At least that was how I felt from having to answer forty test questions about my mental health.It was hard to convince them or even anyone that, it had all been a mistake all along.It was hard to tell them, even Olivia, who had shown up earlier that all this was just a misunderstanding on both sides.They had barely stayed In the room for a few minutes before they had requested that she let me have my rest.I hated the way everyone looked at me as though I had gone crazy.I am not Crazy…I was just suffering from a mishap I had brought upon myself.In a way I thought everything would have just been different if I had not married this man.He had shown glaring signs at the beginning but yet I had chosen to love him even with th

ELIZABETH'S POVIf I was expecting more shocking news it was definitely not this…There was no way I could process this, not with everything that was happening already.Having one of Cole was enough of a problem already, but the fact that they were two with one growing in me allegedly made the world a more toxic place.I was shocked, my face found Olivia who had the same look on her face.This was more than a twist to the entire situation, this was alarming, this was shocking.The atmosphere in the room was suddenly dark and I absorbed each and every bit of it into my soul till it was reflective on my face and glowed upon it.How in the hell did this happen?I wanted to ask her if she was sure about what she saying, yet it felt like a stupid question as she was the doctor handling my -"Are you sure of what you are saying ?"

COLE'S POVAT this point there was nothing to say or dispute, the woman I could as well call my mistress was carrying my child, and right in my hands was the proof.Sometimes words clutter a space in your mind that was filled up with the truth and all you are left with is to admit it to yourself.This was certainly a time like that —A time that I had to admit that I had to come to terms with the decision she was asking of me.I sat out there by the pool side of my costly home, numbly watching the night and sipping from a bottle that was half filled.The funny thing about moments like this was that it happened just once and when you least expected it .One slip up—You are gone and trapped into the absolute mess it came with.I gulped down each drop of Martini with a thought wondering what would have happened if sheEliza hadn’t made an appearance in the house that day or perhaps even better if I had not let myself be cajoled by deception.It was like giving vague statements of what if
