“How dare you?! How could you lose this baby after everything Caleb has done to make sure this baby could be kept?!” My mother, Selena said furiously, her eyes were wide with anger. I stared at her in shock, I couldn't comprehend what they were talking about? But because I couldn't speak at that
“Elaine, it's been a long time. So lovely to meet you again.” Emily greeted, her voice was sweet and delightful. To them. I stepped back, my eyes wide and my hands trembling. I frantically looked over to Caleb who was seated on the couch, a huge beaming smile on his lips. But when our eyes met, they were evil and cunning. But then, I heard a cough from the side and I saw Caleb's grandfather sitting. My heart trembled when I saw him, he would support me, he always had supported me no matter what. Once I was able to talk, I would tell him everything that had happened and he would finally realise that… “Elaine! Despite how I treated you, how could you intentionally abort your baby! Worse, you even cheated on Caleb! Is this what you promised me when you got married to him?!” Grandfather knocked his staff twice on the ground. I stumbled in shock. The fact that he was yelling at me, which he had never done before had crossed over my mind. What he just said… Abort? I intentionall
“If Caleb had died there, maybe I wouldn't be hurting this much.” I finished. “You bitch!” Clara screeched and stomped forward, her hands raised as she slapped me once more. A crisp sound rang throughout the sitting room. But it didn't hurt more than I was already hurting. I bent down to pick up the papers and pen and with shaky hands, I signed the divorce papers, my chapped lips widening into a smile. “I've given you what you wanted, Caleb.” I raised my head, watching him intently. He looked very happy. So happy that he snatched the papers from my hands, pushing me away. My mother watched everything coldly, her eyes promising wrath against me. I scoffed, I didn't even know why I bothered anymore. “Elaine… I'm sorry.” Emily stepped forward, tears brimming at the corner of her eyes. “Sorry? There's no need to be sorry, Emily. After all, you've gotten exactly what you wanted. But soon enough, everyone in this family will know just how pretentious and evil you are.”
“It's you…” I murmured, my eyes fixed on Zade who leaned on the door frames, golden rimmed glasses sat right on top of his nose. He hadn't changed, although he was just as handsome, if not even more handsome than he was the last time I saw him. Zade frowned, his eyes were dark and he had an unrea
“Why did you come back, Zade?” I questioned sharply. Maybe I was trying to put all of my anger on Zade, maybe I was just scared of becoming who I used to be, or maybe I didn't even know how I was feeling right now. But one thing was clear, deep down, I was glad that he was here. Deep down. Zade's
“Well, well, well, look at what we have here.” One of them spoke, “A woman who is all alone.” “What are you doing here, baby? You should come with us so we'll have some fun. I promise you'll like it.” Another said, stalking towards me. I gulped and shifted back, my voice was stuck in my throat. A
I woke up with a start, looking at the place I was in. Panic filled my mind as I jumped down from the bed. It was dark, and cold. I tried to run out of the room, I banged the doors open and then, I saw a small light which I ran towards. It felt like salvation from my nightmares. My bare feet padd
“Come here, Elaine. I won't do anything to you, I'm not a beast to touch a woman who is barely sane. You came to me because you know that only I can calm you down, and if you want, you can leave right now. I won't stop you.” “No. I don't want to leave.” I said. “Then come closer, Elaine.” With
