Elena’s POV

I 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.

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

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

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!!

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”.

I burst into tears.Bonnie chipped in. “Oh my God poor Elena, please I can explain”. Bonnie’s smile faltered.“Explain what?

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.

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.

As we walked into the room where Phila had arranged everything, Daniel’s face froze in shock. There, sitting calmly, was Alex.Daniel blinked, disbelief in his eyes. "Alex? 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. But let me clear the air—I did the texting. I needed you both here. After all, birds of the same feather…"Daniel, pale and anxious, stood up and grabbed my arm.

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 didn't want to be close to him right now, not when I had so many doubts. But I didn't

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. And if Daniel's hiding something, we'll expose him."I nodded, determination coursing through my veins. "Let's do it."Phila pulled out her phone and started typing away. "I'll start by hacking into his phone records, see if he's been in contact with anyone suspicious."I raised an eyebrow. "You can do that?"Phila winked. "I have my ways. Leave it to me, Elena.

"He wants us to merge our properties and make him the sole owner," I said, watching for her reaction.Phila's expression turned thoughtful. "That's a big decision," she said. "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

Thank you for meeting us here today."We walked into the bank manager's office, where all the necessary documents were laid out on the table.

As I got dressed, I heard my stomach growling and headed downstairs to see what was for dinner.Just as I was about to sit down, my phone rang. I hesitated for a moment before answering it."Hello?" I said, expecting it to be Phila or maybe even Mr. Johnson."Elena, it's Detective James," a deep voice said on the other end of the line. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. Alex has escaped from custody."My heart skipped a beat as I felt a surge of fear. "What? How did that happen?""We're not entirely sure yet," Detective James replied. "But we're working on it.
