I was shaking while holding the pregnancy test with two lines on it.My tears started to fall down and a soft smile was visible on her face.She feels a mixture of joy, nervousness and fear now. He didn't know what to do, he wanted to jump. Jump for joy.She wanted to cry, cry because Luke wasn't there who was supposed to be the first to know about her. About the baby she's carrying.Now you know why she has been feeling strange in his body for a few days. I just cried and cried until I passed out.I washed my face and blinked twice while looking at myself in the mirror here in the bathroom."You can do it, Elle." I encourage myself.I took a deep breath and then someone knocked on the door."Elle." I got Trina's mouth."Yes, coming!" I screamed and wiped my hand on the towel."Why did you take so long?" She asked me. "Did you try it?" She asked again.I shook my head gently. "Maybe not now. There are still days to come." My excuse."Alright. Are you coming?""Where?""Going for a wal
SalvadorIs this what I'm afraid of? Who cares about the step I'm about to take, it's been a week but Luke is still lying in a soft bed. Unconscious and unable to even open the eyes. I turned off his phone so my daugther couldn't contact him, I know she's worried about this but that's the only way I know. But I didn't expect it to take this long for him to fall asleep."He's brave, Salvador. Can you please just sleep? Sleep for a little while.”"How can I sleep if I know that he is in this state.""He will also wake up, it will be soon. I feel." I smiled at her for encouraging me.If I tell this to Elle, she will definitely be hurt or worse, she might not be able to handle it. I have nothing to show for it and I don't want that to happen.I would have been in his situation if he hadn't caught the bullet that should have hit me.And I can't forgive myself when something bad happens to him."Give me back my phone." I was silent and he immediately gave it to me.I dialed Harold's number
My mind and heart are tired. I was tired of thinking but I focused more on the twins and Eli. I was watching them play on the ground. It's been a month. We have been staying here for a month I believe and trust that he is okay and will come back to us. I also avoided asking because I didn't get anything either. I went to the kitchen and got some fruit from the fridge. I peeled the apple and cut it accordingly. I have also peeled an orange and grown grapes. When I finished, I came out of the kitchen again and put the fruit on the center table. "Thank you, mom." Lucia said smiling. Eli just quietly picked it up and smiled at me. I hope that my father and Aunt Elizabeth were okay. That they are alive and find Salve so they can come back and be with us. I was about to eat the apple I was holding when I heard a noise outside when suddenly we heard gunshots from outside. I quickly approached the children and hugged them. "Fuck! What are those?! C'mon get up!" Kevin helped us to sta
Luke's PovI woke up and saw a white ceiling. I can't feel my arms and legs but you can barely move my head."Luke." Hard voice of someone.I couldn't face it directly but I could feel footsteps approaching."He's awake! Thank you God!" The words of a woman."Does anything hurt?""Call the doctor, Eliz."After saying that, Aunt Elizabeth came out.He is crying now while looking at me. Salvador Lindsay is in front of me who you think is a child because of crying.I smiled at him then he chuckled."I thought you wouldn't wake up. I'm not crying because of you. I'm crying because if Elle finds out about your condition, she might stop talking to me and hate me."I tried to talk but I couldn't. My mouth didn't open and it was as if the words I wanted to say we're just stored in my brain."You can't talk right now because of the drugs that were injected into you. It's good that you remembered us." He said laughing while wiping his tears.I stared at the ceiling and thought of my family.How
I was standing here on the veranda. Drinking cold milk and overlooking our wide yard.One week had passed and we were back at our house. All is settled, everything is back to normal.There is no calamity to think about tomorrow.You just need to wake up in the morning, do our stuff and that's it. Since it was Saturday, I also thought that the twins would go back to school again.Dad and Aunt Elizabeth are still here. They were here for a month before they decided to fly to America next month. I didn't object because it was their right, it was their happiness and I am happy that I have a brother.Daddy won't be alone anymore, he has a new family and I'm happy for that. I am also happy to see my father healthy and strong so I will give them their freedom. Even if I wanted them to come home and stay here, there was nothing I could do about it.Sashalyn? I'm happy for her. She finds her happiness with Doc. Andes. Sashalyn has also received a donor for her eye. Now they are taking care of
Luke's POVLooking at her sleeping sound and sleep make my heart flutter, she still affects me. Why did I end up being his husband?Our parents are friends and because they are friends, they pushed us both to work out.At first I didn't see her as a woman. She used to be naughty and pay too much attention. But when I confront her that she is making too much of a scene in her life which is not what I want, I want my life to be private and it depends on me who I talk to.Mom, what to be Elle is my priority especially when I go home. I still have to send her to there house instead of being able to go home early and rest.But one day because of annoyance I didn't bring her home. That time she called me so many times but luckily I answered one of her calls.She's on the run because someone tried to grab her, she almost got raped and that's where it all started. That's when she started avoiding me. Yes she said thank you that day but the next day she also started avoiding me. I was so mad t
I woke up with all the lights off in the room and only the lampshade on the side serving as light. I glanced out the window and it was dark outside.I slept too long and didn't realize it was night. I was still holding my stomach that was growling due to hunger.I was about to stand up when the door opened and the light came on. My eyes narrowed due to the glare and eventually I saw Luke standing as he approached the bed. It carries a tray containing food.“Dinner in bed?” I was shaken by what he said."That's right, I just woke up and my stomach is already churning." I answered and sat down. "You're preferred huh?" I'm still laughing because it has a small table laid out on top of the bed."Always, my wife." I was shaken by the answer. "Just for you." He went on to say that this is why I'm secretly excited because if I reveal it and he sees that I'm excited and affected by what he's saying, he'll definitely laugh at me.The ending is that I was just annoyed by his perfect face by cha
Luke's POV We left immediately at the unit, with me Harold and also Kevin. In fact, we don't know where to start looking but I know they haven't gone far. It's either they're still here or they've left. But how will Trisha do that without Salve's help? I glanced at my phone I was holding. Aunt Elizabeth's name flashed on the screen, I answered it immediately and her deep breathing caught my attention."I'll text you the address, Trisha has a lot of staff so don't go alone." "Where are you! Come back! It's too dangerous–" "I'm okay. I'm hiding. Come quickly!" She said and ended the call. We immediately got into the car and wasted no time heading to the place she texted me. It is a remote and isolated place. The trees are almost passable and I can't fathom the idea that there is another person behind all of this. Trisha would not have been able to take such a step if she had no other help. If it wasn't Salve then who?Leo's POV I walked closer to the gate where Trisha's staff was
"Did you see her at school?" My mom asked me. I just focus on my phone while scrolling on Facebook."Yup." I answered boringly.“Did you see her as a woman–”"Mom here we go again, I don't like her, so stop pushing me to her. I don't like her, she's too cool and noisy. She likes a stalker so please mom, tell her mommy to tell Elle that even if it's for a few days or at least she's going to stalk me–” She patted me on the head."Are you deaf? Elle is kind and beautiful. I have no other woman to accept besides her. Starting today, you will take her to their house."“Mom–”"That's an order, so please. If anything happens to her, it's your fault!” After saying that, she turned her back on me and left the kitchen.I dropped my spoon on the plate. Ever since school started, I've been bringing her to their house on purpose because that's what Uncle Salvador said. So who am I to say no? And damn, my mother said, how can I continue with my plan to stop her from being delivered to them?When yo
Elle's POVWe arrived at exactly 3AM at the hospital. Luke's hand was shaking. That's why I hold his hand and squeeze it."Your hands are shaking, can you please calm down? Leo said he's okay now." I was shaken by Luke's actions.“I just–”"I just what?" I cut off what he had to say.I know that he hasn't been with his father for a long time but I never thought that he would react like this. While on the way, he never stopped telling the story of everything that happened.I just listened to him the whole ride, and even though I wanted to react to what I learned and what happened then, I couldn't do anything.Besides what happened and all that is in the past.And I think this is the final chapter of our story."He's inside but he still doesn't wake up." Luke's face couldn't be painted by Leo's words."I'll take care of it Leo, you can go home now. Thank you.”"Just one call." I nodded at what Leo said. I opened the door and went inside.We brought him to the VIP Room so that he could l
Luis' POVHe's smart, my grandson is a smart kid. He took his father's wisdom.I know Luke's getting angry with me when he sees me here. I met Trisha in the prison where I was assigned. I'm the one who makes her flee for some reasons, instead of her hiring someone else to do her plan to do bad things for my son, Luke's family, I'm the one who agreed to get her out of jail.I will end up with a woman like her.I will not make the same mistake in the past where I almost killed his wife. Salvador ordered me to do that to his own daughter. How cruel is he? That was the mistake I made and that day when Luke saw my face and he let me leave, I left all the property with him, especially the company. He even gave me money even though he knew I had a lot of money.I even started what I wanted. It was not my plan to run the company before, I really wanted to be a police officer and because of the late Mr. Copley, I need to take care of it and leave behind my dreams to become a policeman.That's
