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
Elena’s POV“How on earth are you so heartless you monster? And yes, what was the meaning of what you just did yesterday?” I asked Alex, fuming in anger.“You are so cheap and always lurking around the wrong people”. Alex spilled bluntly “Meaning?” I asked him in curiosity.“It means you left this house yesterday without my permission. Who the fuck are you to even go out of this house?” He spilled out bluntly. “I bought you with my kindness and you’re alone in this world, that is enough reason why you should and must do anything with my permission you ass hole”. He slammed.I stood there speechless and how did Alex know that I wasn’t at home yesterday? A lot of thought was going through my mind at that moment.“Please get out of my way if you don’t have anything to say to me as you can see I am late for work already”. He pushed me aside and left the house I stood still for a few minutes before I ran to my room and picked up my phone. I had to dial Bonnie’s number.“Hey baby girl, h
Elena’s POV “Wow this is so nice, I look like a princess, Alex is so sweet”. I exclaimed.Alex bought a very nice long dress and long hair. Indeed he wants me to look my best for the date. I became so happy. Maybe Alex wants to make up for everything. I quickly dialed Bonnie’s number to tell her the good news.“Hey Bonnie, how are you doing?” I asked her, smiling like never before.“Hmm someone is happy today what’s the secret?” She asked with curiosity.“Yes, you can say that again!! I exclaimed “So what’s with the happiness?” Bonnie slammed.“Alex is taking me out on a date”. I spilled out. “And guess what”. I asked her “Oh my God Elena, I am so happy for you. At least you’re finally getting the love you deserve”. She uttered “Thanks, Bonnie it all happened because of you, I can’t thank you enough”. I responded “Let’s not do the emotional moment yet”. She teased as she burst into laughter.“You still haven’t answered me, Bonnie “. I reminded her.“Oh please can you repeat the q
Elena’s POV “Oh come on why are you in a haste to get hurt? Why can’t you wait to see who deserves the ring first?” He said with a husky smile. I stood there speechless looking at what would happen next. A few moments later a lady walked past me.“What? Bonnie? What are you there? You were meant to be with your man right? I asked her with curiosity.“Yes sweetheart and here I am baby” Bonnie responded. She came close to me and whispered. “With my man right in front of you”. “What the heck is happening here?” I felt so ridiculous I ignored Bonnie and went straight to Alex and held his hand. “Alex please say something just look at me and tell me that it’s not true please Alex just say something we have been through a lot for you to just treat me like trash”. I burst into tears.Bonnie chipped in. “Oh my God poor Elena, please I can explain”. Bonnie’s smile faltered.“Explain what? Your affair with my abuser?”Bonnie’s expression turned cold. “Oh my God you’re such a sweet and innoc
Elena’s POV I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me. Alex's words cut deep, and Bonnie's smirk was the final nail in the coffin. I tried to speak, but my voice was barely a whisper. "You're...you're choosing her over me?" I stuttered, my eyes pleading with Alex to deny it. But he just shook his head, his expression cold and detached. "I'm choosing what's best for me, Elena. And that's Bonnie." Bonnie's laughter echoed in my ears as Alex pulled me closer, his grip tightening on my shoulders. "You'll always be my girlfriend, Elena. But Bonnie will be my wife." I felt a wave of nausea wash over me as I realized the truth. I was just a pawn in their twisted game, a game I didn't even know I was playing. I tried to struggle, but Alex's grip was too strong. I was trapped, with no escape from the hell they were putting me through. "Let me go," I whispered, my voice barely audible. But Alex just smiled, his eyes glinting with triumph. "You're not going any
Elena’s POV “Rachel, what are you doing here? And how did you know my whereabouts?” I questioned with disbelief.Rachel's eyes were filled with concern as she approached me. "Elena, I've been looking all over for you," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "I knew something was wrong when I saw Alex and Bonnie together. What happened?" She asked, caressing my face.I felt a lump form in my throat as I tried to explain, but the words wouldn't come out. Rachel's expression turned from concern to shock as she took in my maid-of-honor dress and the tears streaming down my face. "Oh my god, Elena. They got married, didn't they?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I nodded, feeling a fresh wave of tears wash over me. Rachel pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm so sorry, Elena. I warned you about Alex, but you didn't listen. He's a master manipulator, and he's done this to me before." I pulled back, looking at Rachel in surprise. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice shaking. Rachel
Elena’s POV “What? Jack tell me that you’re not being serious right now?” I question him fuming in anger.“Elena please lower your voice, can you come out let’s meet up?” He pleaded.“Okay, then I’ll be there in two minutes”. I responded and hung up. I exhaled deeply, turned and noticed that Rachel had been there for a while now. Did she hear my conversation? I didn’t say anything much so I pretended and entered the room.A few minutes later Rachel knocked at my door. “May I come in?” She requested.“Oh yes, please come in”. I responded.“Thanks, dear. I overheard you on a call with someone hope all is well?” She asked me, her face filled with concern.“I’m fine Rachel, I’m just feeling stressed out about the whole incident that’s all”. I lied, trying to sound fine.“Elena please don't do something you might regret later just calm your nerves down everything will be in our favor and by then we will make them pay for everything”. She assured me.“Thanks, Rachel I appreciate your supp
