Elena's POV I watched the closed door with a clenched fist. I was trying to stop myself from running after him and taking everything word back, but I had some pride left in me that I was not ready to lose. I turned to my family and marched to Eric. “How could you do this to me?” I shoved him back in anger. He looked stunned at my reaction. “I trusted you, Eric. You knew when I had a crush on him; you knew how much I love him, and how happy I was with him.” A tear rolled down from my eye, my faced of a strong girl was wearing down. “Despite everything, I supported you, Elena. This is taking too far. You think ruining your life, risking your education, and becoming a mom because you want to make him happy is love. I’m sorry, but I am not going to support you this time.” “How are you so sure I am pregnant?” I asked him in irritation. “Margret found this pregnancy test in your room; she was so worried and wanted to tell mom everything. For your sake, I convinced her not to talk to
Elena's POV“Elena, you...I didn’t...n-nothing happened,” he glanced at Sharon for a confirmation and I lost it.“F**k you both! Just stay away from me,” I yelled blinking back my tears.He captured my wrist to make me stop from leaving.“Elena, it’s not what you think it is. I was drunk and she met me...”He tried to explain to me when I pulled my hand away from his grasp.“I’m out of your life. I am done with you. Eric was right. He warned me that you will break my heart but I didn’t believe him. Look where I am now,” I yelled. “You could’ve found any girl but you picked her. This bitch has been in my life since sixth grade.” I said pointing finger at Sharon.I didn’t know what came over me but I picked a vase and threw it where she was standing. She jumped away and Jake glared at me.“Can you stop being a brat for a second? You could’ve hit her with that vase,” he yelled.“That was my intention,” I yelled back.“Have a good f**cking day, both of you,” I said walking out of his hous
Elena’s POV:I landed at the New York airport with the swollen eyes and running nose. I was a mess and people were giving me sympathetic looks. I dragged my bag and made my way out to find Noah standing in the middle with a black cap, shades, shirt, and trousers. He didn’t want paparazzi to catch him at the airport and follow us back home.His striking grey eyes landed on me and he inhaled in shock, looking at the mess I was. I let go of the bag and ran to him, jumping in his open arms. I hugged him and cried silently while he rubbed my back mumbling comforting things in my ear. I didn’t know how long we stayed there like that but made me look at him.“Let’s go home, I want you to tell me everything,” he said.I nodded my head like a little kid and he picked my bag, I followed him to the car. The car ride to his house was quiet; I stared out of my window the whole way, lost in my own thoughts. He pressed the remote and the gates of his house flung open, he parked the car on the drivew
Elena's POV“How about you guys take me out?” I suggested.“Are you sure?” Noah asked.“Yes,” I said.“Aren’t you tired after the long flight?” He asked.“No, I cried and slept all the way here. I want to go out and enjoy the day. So...where are we going?” I asked.“You know I can’t go a lot of places without a security,” he reminded me.“Oh, I forgot, my brother is a celebrity football player,” I said mockingly.“There is this country club where we like to go,” Alyssa suggested.“We can go there,” Noah said looking at me, waiting for my response.“What does one do there?” I asked him uninterested.“There are golf, tennis, bowling, pool, fitness center, and live entertainment. It’s not as boring as it sounds,” he said.“Fine, we will go there. I need to change and freshen up. I’m going to the guest room,” I said getting up from the couch and taking my bag with me.Alyssa changed the decoration of the guest room. It was gorgeous with white chiffon curtains, pearly walls, and a welcomin
Elena’s POV:I stared at Adrian with my mouth dropped open.“I...I don’t know how to say it. You’ve caught me off guard,” I stuttered.Adrian smiled and grasped my shoulder.“Calm down and take a deep breath. I know I shouldn’t have asked you out of the blue,”I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to ease my fanatically beating heart.“Look, you’re a great guy. You’re attractive and you’ve insanely captivating personality but...”“But?” He tilted his head to the side asking me with an amused smile on his face.“But, I’m in love with, Jake,” I choked out.I looked down at my feet in embarrassment, remembering how I just told him a few minutes ago that I broke up with my boyfriend.“Well, I was expecting to hear that,” Adrian said with a playful smile on his face.My eyes darted up to look at the smile plastered on his face.“What?” I asked him in confusion.“Do you know why I asked you out?”“Um... cuz you like me,” I said with a shrug.“I like you a lot but as a friend,”His answer
Elena's POV“Well, I think he is tripping. You don’t send woman flowers and switch off your phone. That doesn’t happen in romance books that I read,” she said with a frown.“So, what happens in the romance books that you read?” I asked amused.“Ah... The guy sends flower and appears at her doorstep, demanding to talk to her then he explains everything and they make up,” she told enthusiastically.“Do they make love?” I asked confused.“Yes...” She leans closer to my ear to whisper. “Hot make up sex.”I glanced at her with wide eyes. Alyssa’s face was as red as a tomato.“What kind of books have you been reading, Alyssa?” I asked her.“There is this app...”Suddenly she went quiet and cleared her throat, staring at the doorway.“I think it happens in real life, too.” She mumbled.I followed her gaze to find Jake standing at the door. He looked like he hadn’t slept a wink; his jaw was dusted with stubble and his clothes appeared creased. His brown soft hair was ruffled on his head and h
Elena's POV He cupped my face with one hand and with his other hand he pulled me roughly against his firm chest. Then he brushed his lips over mine when I didn’t pull away he finally kissed me. I parted my lips to allow him to dive his tongue, he explored my mouth kissing me like a starved man. I was breathless within seconds as he moved us towards the couch. We parted away to take a breath. I shoved him on the couch and climbed on him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face closer to mine. I took his bottom lip between my teeth, nibbling on it while he held my waist. Finally, I pressed my lips on his, feverishly kissing him. It felt like he was my antidote of the pain. He responded to my kiss passionately by pulling me closer, I felt his arousal stabbing me and I clenched my leg around his waist. Jake groaned when I started to move creating a gratifying friction between us. Jake deepened the kiss; his mouth was generating hot lava of passion in my belly which was d
Elena's POV“Umm, we can order some pizza and stay in bed. I really don’t feel like dressing up. Besides, I don’t have any clothes here,” I told him.He pulled out a huge box from the closet, it was tied with a dark blue ribbon, and he shoved it into my hands.“What’s this?” I asked inspecting the box from outside.“It has everything that you need to get dress and go out with me,” he said with a grin on his face.“So someone came prepared,”“You can say that,”He pulled out a navy blue color suit.“Don’t tell me that you are going to wear a suit? We are not going to the wedding, are we?”“We need to leave soon so you better get dressed in time.” He said pinching my nose and leaving the room with his suit.I looked at the heavy box in my hand and placed it on the bed then untied the ribbon. When I lifted the lid I gasped in shock, there was sitting a baby blue color dress that looked like it came out from some Cinderella’s movie with a pair of crystal heels and a makeup bag. I pulled o
Elena's POV:Brandon entered and looked at us with a frown."I found her in the washroom then we came here to find you," Madeline said to Brandon.I silently thanked her for explaining my bedraggled look in his best friend hospital room."H-Hi, Brandon" I squeaked.He walked to me then hugged me without giving me any warnings.For a few minutes, we stay silent in each other's arms. I let him hold me knowing how much he hates hospitals and how difficult it was for him to step in here for me and Jake."I hate you stupid sister" He mumbled in my ear and I laughed.He let go of me and glared at me while I laughed harder."You and hate? Pufft" I said with the dismissing wave of my hand."I hate you for scaring the shit out me." He said looking really upset.But the love and satisfaction he had on his face showed me how relieved he was to see me okay."I'm sorry, Brandon. I'm so sorry for everything." I said preventing the tears from falling from my eyes.I knew that I wasn't saying sorry
Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a slap on my face and found furious Anna standing near my bed hovering above me.I was confused for a moment and looked around to realize that I was still in the hospital.It was dark outside and it meant I slept all afternoon.Maybe I was tired."You bitch! I was going crazy when your mom called and asked me about you. Then I called every f*cking person in the college to just know if you were with them?" She said looking angry."I'm so sorry, Anna. I had no idea this would happen." I said feeling ashamed for not sharing it with her.She threw a glare at my way then hugged me. Honestly, I was expecting her to beat the shit out of me rather than hugging me. I embraced her back knowing how worried she might be for me all that time."Are you trying to kill me kindly? I can't breathe because of your strong hold." I said to her.She pulled away from me and I noticed tears in her eyes."If you pull something like this again, don't expect me to talk to you ever
Jake's POV:I felt soft caresses on my jaw and opened my eyes. It was really bright; the sun was just shining above my face. I looked around and realized I was lying on the grass in the garden. I sat up feeling confused.Someone placed a hand on my shoulder making me stiff. I turned back and found Hanna. She had a same beautiful smile on her face. Her black hair and her skin were glowing. She had a gold like an aura around her.I was shocked and confused to find her in front of me."Jake," She called my name snapping me out of the shock."Hanna, baby, I missed you so much," I said cupping her face and showering it with kisses.Her skin felt so light, so smooth and soft like a cloud.She smiled at me and put her hand on my jaw."I missed you too, Jake. But I'm so happy here. This is where I live and it's so peaceful," She said making me look around the garden.The garden was breathtaking and peaceful just like heaven."Is this heaven?" I asked her confused."Yes, it's something like he
Elena's POV:Suddenly, the police cars stopped outside the building. Ben panicked and moved to hide in the bushes. His eyes landed on me and he smirked."Oh, I see you are hiding here," He said.He knew he had no chance to escape so did I.I knew I needed to get away from him fast. I stood up and he pulled out something from his jacket.Before I could run away from him, he pointed the gun at my head."Dear, Elena, you're my ticket to escape from here alive" He pulled me towards him and placed his arm around my shoulder.It was quite dark for police to see what was happening and where we were standing because their focus was on the building. Some officers went inside while some stayed outside looking around the area."Stay still" He hissed."Remove your arm and keep this gun away from me" I hissed.He tightened the grip of his arm and glared at me. The officers came out of the building and another car came to stop beside police cars. I knew that black car very well because it belonged
Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a pain in my head and opened my eyes to find darkness around me. I recalled how something was smashed on my head to make me black out. I panicked and tried to get up but my hands and legs were tied down with rope.I had no other chance but to yell for help."Help! Please, help me."I was hoping someone would hear me.Suddenly, I heard the noise of door and someone entered. A light coming from the torch fell on my face making me flinch."I'm glad you are awake."Ben kneeled down in front of me and I felt the anger pulsing through my veins."What the actual f*ck is this Ben? My mom must be going crazy. I need to go home before my dad turns the city upside down."He shook his head with an amused smile on his face making me angrier. I was glaring at him and he would be dead if I wasn't tied."You are mine and I am going to keep you here until you realize it," He smiled at me creepily.I was boiling with anger. If my hands weren't tied I would definitely give
Elena's POV:I arrived at my house and went straight to the lounge. I found my mom and Ben sitting on the couch across each other in the living room talking. There were cupcakes with coffee on the table. I never told my mom why Ben and I were not friends anymore."Hey, mom," I said getting their attention.I sat on the couch beside her and received a glare in return. I knew why she was glaring at me. She wanted me to explain why I didn't come home last night."Hey, you guys talk. I will be in the study if you need me," Mom said looking at me.I nodded with the smile and she left."What are you doing here Ben?" I asked feeling angry at his presence in my house without my permission."You promised to meet me at the café we used to group study. I waited for you there like a fool," He said looking angry."You should have known that I wouldn't come," I said."Why are you doing this me? We were friends at one time," He said."Yes, we were friends, Ben. But we are not friends anymore. If you
Jake POV:I kissed her and everything started to feel different. Her lips were eager and demanding more passion from me. The torture she inflicted on me by gazing at me with her beautiful chocolate brown eyes was enough to send me to hell for thinking about the things that I want to do with her.We pulled away from each other breathing hard. Elena was looking down; her lips were wet and plump from the kiss that we shared. Her hair was a bit of a mess but I kept staring at her to memorize her face at that moment."I...I want you to stay with me, tonight". I said and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear.She looked at me with her hazy eyes and I sucked in a sharp breath, cursing myself for being so weak at that moment.She didn't answer me but her lips came back crashing on mine in a feverish kiss. I smiled at her and without thinking much I carried her to the nearest room. I placed her on the bed and she scrambled back to give me space to climb on the bed.I got rid of my shoes and
Jake POV:I went straight to the office, ignoring the people who stopped by to say hello and good afternoon.I didn't know what was happening to me?I sat down on the chair and looked for the ledgers that I asked my assistant to put it here."Where the hell are the ledgers? Didn't I ask you to put them here on my table?" I said calling my assistant."I'm sorry, sir. I'm just getting them". He said and came back with the ledgers.I felt angry and I had no idea why?I opened the ledgers and started to check them but concentrating on it seemed impossible. My mind keeps going back to Elena.I closed my eyes to stop the image of Elena. But only to see Hanna's radiant face playing in my mind.She was smiling at me, saying something that I couldn't understand. Her smile was beautiful and her black hair was spread on the pillow.It was a memory of the morning after we spend the first night together. She was on the bed when I came with the coffee that I made for her."Jake, so is this one time
Elena's POV:His lips were on mine. I couldn't believe it. I tried to make myself believe that this wasn't a dream where I wake up as soon as his lips touches mine.I closed my eyes when the sensation of pleasure filled me, chilling my bones and making me shiver on the places where I never felt anything before. His thumb was caressing the side of my jaw and unintentionally a sigh escaped from my mouth.Then I felt a hand on my back, pulling me closer. I was pressed on his chest. He changed the angle to deepen the kiss. My body was on fire with the way his lips were working, sending waves of desire making me powerless and vulnerable. He pulled away little, letting me breath and started to nibble on my lower lip. My body and mind was on cloud nine.Suddenly, his warm tongue caressed the outline of my lips seeking entrance of my mouth making me lose my balance at the feeling of immense pleasure. But a hand on my waist held me in place.He devoured me like a starved man, kissing, nibbling
