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.

"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?

    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”.

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

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”.

He slammed.I stood there speechless and how did Alex know that I wasn’t at home yesterday?

What are you doing here?"Alex slowly turned, a smirk playing on his lips. "You told me to come, remember? You texted me."Daniel’s confusion deepened. "No, I didn’t! I never texted you."I couldn’t help but enjoy the unraveling drama. With a sly smile, I crossed my legs and leaned back. "Wow, Daniel, I’m impressed. You’re truly something.

I decided to take a nap, hoping to clear my head and recharge.As I lay in bed, I couldn't shake off the feeling of doubt that had been lingering in my mind. What was Daniel hiding? And why was he being so secretive?But for now, I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on rest. I slept for a few hours, waking up feeling slightly better.When I walked into the living room, Daniel was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He smiled when he saw me, and I forced a smile back."Hey, how was your day?" he asked, patting the couch next to him.I sat down, trying to act normal. "It was fine. Just tired."Daniel put his arm around me, pulling me close. "You've been working too hard. You need to take it easy."I nodded, feeling a sense of unease.

I'm about to make a big decision, and I need to be sure of what I'm doing. If Daniel's hiding something, I need to know."Phila grinned mischievously. "I'm on it. I'll dig up everything I can find."I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Thanks, Phila. I knew I could count on you."Phila nodded. "Don't worry, Elena. We'll get to the bottom of this.

"What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena. Especially when it comes to something you've worked hard for. You know what Uncle Smith tried to do to you. What if Daniel...?"I held up a hand, stopping her. "Daniel would never do that to me. He loves me."Phila's expression softened. "I know he
