Elena’s POV “How about going on a trip? We need to get out of this city for a while. Take a break from everything. Just the two of us”. “Bonnie not again, I don’t know if I’m ready for that yet. I’m still in bed and you want us to go on a trip?” I questioned her.“Common Elena, it is just a normal girls' trip. I need you to stop thinking about anything negative for now. Big head”. She teased me. “We can go to the beach, relax, and just enjoy each other's company. No Alex, no drama. Just us.“That sounds nice though ”. I included.“I'll start making plans! We can leave as soon as you're discharged from the hospital”. Bonnie responded excitedly.“You're not going to give me a choice, are you?” I teased her“Nope! I'm taking charge of your recovery, my friend”. She boasted.We both burst into laughter at least for a moment in my life. I became happy again after the whole drama that has been happening lately.“Thanks, Bonnie I don’t know what I’d do without you”. I told her tearfully.“
Elena’s POV “I think you’re fit to go now the doctor already discharged you and I have missed you”. Alex said looking happy.As I left the hospital with Alex, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. I was happy to be going home, but I was also worried about Bonnie’s mom's sudden sickness. Alex seemed genuinely sorry and eager to make amends, but I knew him too well. I couldn't shake off the feeling that he was hiding something as usual.As we drove home, Alex told me about his busy schedule and how he had been working non-stop to meet a deadline. I listened intently, trying to believe him, but my mind kept wandering back to Bonnie and the trip we were supposed to take.When we arrived home, Alex helped me settle in and even made me dinner. It felt like old times, but I couldn't help but wonder if he was just trying to manipulate me again.Just as I was starting to relax, my phone buzzed with a text from Bonnie: "Hey how are you doing babe? My flight just got canceled. I will leav
Elena’s POVAs I hung up the phone, Alex sneered at me from across the room. "So, you've been talking to Bonnie about Kalyan's visit, have you?"I glared at him, feeling a surge of anger. "Yes, I have. And I don't see why you're so determined to stir up trouble."Alex snorted. "Trouble? You're the one who's always so dramatic, Elena. I'm just trying to move forward."I shook my head, incredulous. "By inviting your ex-lover or rather your lover into our home? You're not even trying to hide your disrespect for me."“Our home you say? It’s not like we are married or so and who do you think you’re? Alex rolled his eyes. “Oh, spare me the theatrics. You’re not going to guilt trip me into canceling Kalyan's visit. It’s happening, whether you like it or not.I felt a cold fury building inside me. How dare he speak to me like that? But before I could respond, he turned and walked away, leaving me seething with anger and resentment.I stood there, fuming, as Alex walked away. I couldn't believ
Elena’s POV My eyes widened in shock as Alex’s handprint reddened my cheeks. I felt a surge of humiliation, but I refused to back down.“How dare you?” I spat my voice trembling with rage. “You’re defending her, not me. Your girlfriend?” I growled in shame. “And why would I apologize to her? I was just being honest she’s a mistress and she knows it”. I spat out bluntly.“The same way you’re a helpless orphan or rather a homeless girlfriend”. Kalyan chipped in.“Kalyan it’s enough now you shouldn’t talk to her like that”. Bonnie shunned her. Bonnie steps forward, her eyes flashing with anger. “Alex, you shouldn’t have been harsh towards Elena. You can’t just hit her like that, it's not fair she’s your girlfriend and not a punching bag. Bonnie stated.But Alex is unrepentant. “Stay out of this Bonnie this is just between Elena and I and you sho…“Hey baby”. Kalyan smirked, enjoying the drama. “I think Alex knows who’s important to him”. She said her voice was dripping with condescensi
Elena’s POV "Come on, Elena, eat something," Alex coaxed. "You're being stubborn again."My mind raced. I knew that I needed to escape, but my body betrayed me. I took a bite of food, hoping to regain some strength.As I ate, Alex stroked my hair, his touch making my skin crawl. "You're mine, Elena. I love you, and I'll take care of you. Just stop fighting me. Just eat so you will have strength for me”. “Strength for you? How? What do you mean?” I asked him for clarification.As I swallowed the food, I felt a surge of revulsion. I knew what Alex's words really meant. He wanted me strong enough to satisfy his twisted desires. I couldn't bear the thought of his touch, his hands on me, his…I pushed the plate away, my appetite gone. "I'm full," I lied, trying to sound convincing.Alex's eyes narrowed. "Don't play games with me, Elena. You need to eat. You need to be strong... for me."I shuddered at the implication. I knew what would happen if I refused. The bruises on my body still ac
Elena’s POV “Alex, you must be very stupid”. I yelled at him. You’re a monster, you are evil, and I hate you”. I spat at him and left the living room.I sneakily walked around the house, and to my greatest surprise, there was no one there. Was Alex just trying to pull my legs or is this one of his tricks? I thought. I sighed and headed to my room as I was about to open the door, I heard a knock on the door. I rushed to get the door open to my greatest surprise. It was Alex.“Hey Alex, I thought you were just inside your room? When did you leave the house?” I questioned him, unsure of what he would say next.“Oh yes, I just went out for a walk”. He smiled at me “Okay then, I made dinner for us since Klara was not too strong. Take your shower and come down for dinner”. I startedA few minutes later a dazzling young lady walked past Alex, this time around it was not Kalyan but someone different. Alex grabbed her ass and they pulled a deep kiss in front of me.“Oh Elena, meet my dazzli
Elena’s POVI crept into the kitchen, trying not to make a sound. I needed a glass of water to calm my racing thoughts. As I entered, I was met with a sight that made my blood run cold.Alex and Sophie were standing by the counter, their lips locked in a passionate kiss. Elena's heart shattered into a million pieces. She felt like she'd been punched in the gut.Sophie's hands were wrapped around Alex's neck, pulling him closer. Alex's hands were on her waist, holding her tight. They were lost in their little world, oblivious to my presence.My eyes welled up with tears. I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. I wanted to scream, to yell, to throw something. But I was frozen in place, unable to move or speak.The kiss seemed to last forever. Finally, Alex and Sophie broke apart, gasping for air. They smiled at each other, their eyes shining with happiness.Finally, Alex and Sophie noticed my presence, he turned to me and smiled like nothing happened.“Hey Elena, what’s good? Why are you
Elena’s POV “You’re so cheap, what were you thinking? Do you think Bonnie's house is the safest place to be? Oh poor little Elena you are so innocent and stupid”. Alex growled.“At least, she’s way better than you and you know it you monster”. I spilled bluntly.Alex pulled me back and gave me a hot slap.“If loving you makes me a monster then so be it. No get inside”. He yelled.“Am done with this, stay away from me”. I yelled and ran inside my room.As weeks went by I was still with Alex, his abuse and manipulation became worse than I could imagine. The only person I could most times talk to is Bonnie. She's been the only person that I could rely on.It was the weekend already, and I was alone. Alex was out as usual. I just had to stroll to see Bonnie at home. Bonnie was watching a movie and enjoying herself.I rang the doorbell and she opened the door for me. “Hey girl, how are you doing?” She snapped.“I’m fine baby girl, it seems like you’re having fun alone”. “Oh yes, I am so
