Pete was standing outside of them. She had startled him.
He stood up.
“Mrs. King? Are you alright? Do I need to get Mr. King…. What happened in there?” Pete noticed the red handprint on her face and the corner of her mouth swelling. “Did he hit you?” He asked already knowing the answer. He took a step towards her.
She looked away and took a few steps back. Then she spoke.
“I wanted to go for a drive. I need to go shopping for some things. You can call my husband. I’m sure he will approve me leaving the house.”
“Yes ma’am.” He used his cell phone then. “Ah, Yes Sir, Mrs. King says you’re authorizing her shopping unchaperoned today.”

Danita opened it and let her in.They hugged and it seemed to be Elayna’s undoing. She was sobbing uncontrollably. Danita said nothing, just shut the door as fast as she could behind her, and showed her to the Living Room couch.She sat down beside her.Elayna removed her shades and put them back inside of her purse.She looked thin and frail to Danita. She could see dark circles of fatigue beginning to form under her eyes. She could also see the corner of her left mouth was swollen. Danita went into her Kitchen and poured them both a nice cup of hot, lavender tea. She put a splash of jack daniels in hers and just as she was about to put some in Elayna’s drink she held up her hand, and stopped her with that motion.

She opened the door.“Hello Danita. I was just in the neighborhood,and wanted to stop by and thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my wife hair at my company fundraiser.” He reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a small wad of cash and extended itt her.She took it, admired it, and fanned it out. This was too much money even if she had done a spectacular job. She had already been compensated handsomely. It felt wrong, like Bradley was trying to buy her off. She restacked the money neatly, folded it in half once more and handed it back to him.“Thank you, Mr. King but I’ve already been compensated for my services by Mrs. King.”His eyes seemed to be searching behind her. It was as if he was looking through her. She knew then tha

She went inside of her suite and inhaled the sweet scent of fresh hyacinth and lavender she requested the maids to use. It was immaculate and clean. She walked over to the other set of large double doors with the gold handles and opened her bedroom door. Oh, how she missed sleeping in her large bed, missed the tranquility of her own area. She walked inside her large closet and went to her formal dress section. She had so many expensive designer gowns she had only worn once or twice. She looked through the ones that were unworn and still inside the plastic, or still had the price tag on them. A pale pink sweetheart gown made of chiffon and rhinestones caught her attention. She easily found matching pumps and along with some rose gold, Garnet jewels. She kept thinking about Danita. She had heard the way her husband spoke to her and how he had tried to int

Bradley put his arm around her waist as they walked through the crowd towards the bar.“A party?” She asked, smiling.“Yes,” He agreed looking down at her and smiling. “I thought with all the stress of the last few days a nice party would get both of us out of a funk.” He kissed her on the lips then.To everyone they looked so in love. “Let’s mingle darling. Also, we are telling no one about the baby at this time. ” He whispered that to her as best he could.“What? ...why?” She asked.“Because of the timeline.” He looked as if he wanted to throttle her. The expression vanished quickly.They made it to the bar.

“My husband?” Elayna finished for her.“I’m sorry, I don’t want to accuse anyone...I’m…”“It’s alright. You wouldn’t be the first, or the last.”“I just want to know the truth.” She looked at the fountain then.“I understand.” Elayna said. “My husband is a monster. There is no telling what he is capable of.”“I read your husband’s interviews in the papers, and the unfair bias they placed on your bodyguard. Nick was the only one who saved us. We would be dead, or worse if it had not been for him. Your husband is letting the media crucify him, why?”“I

He wrapped his arms around her tight and she wrapped hers around his neck. She then kissed him hard. He returned the kiss with fervor.He had missed this just as much as she had. All of his coherent thoughts melted away with her sweet kiss. They had finally found each other once more. It had been a little over a week, but felt like a month.After a long few seconds he broke their kiss.“I told you I would find you.” He breathed her scent in and smiled.She smiled up at him, gently holding his face in her hands as if she were memorizing it like she had done so many times before.This was real, she thought. He was here for her.“You did, and

“You're absolutely right! I’m fine. Thank you so much for the party. It was fun and unexpected. You were absolutely right. It was just what we needed.”He smiled at her words and pulled her into his arms. She didn’t know how she felt about the gesture.“Are you lying to me?” His tone was light, but she knew by the question it could turn dark... quick.“No darling. I’m not. I have had so much fun. It’s just…”“What?” He seemed like he was waiting for the shoe to drop.“The baby drains my energy and makes me so tired.”He leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

Not really, she deduced. He could betray her, but she felt like he was being genuine this time. She spoke to him then.“I told him to wait for my signal. ”“You're worried?” He asked.“Of course.” She replied.“Don’t be.” He said.Their was another long pause.Elayna took that as her cue to change into something more comfortable than the chiffon, formal gown she had been wearing. She went into the bathroom and changed into a white tank top and yoga pants she had asked Rosa to hide in the bathroom cabinet for her yesterday.“Let’s go to him,now.”
