Knight’s P.O.V:
I made my bed; went over to the kitchen to make myself some coffee; waited patiently for the coffee to get done; drank the entire cup and then headed back to the bed; twisted and turned restlessly and then got up to make the bed again.
By now I’d already drank five cups of coffee and my bladder was about to burst but I couldn’t seem to snap myself out of this crazy ritual that I had going on since this morning. I was more than a little nervous and I didn’t know what to do about it.
Yeah, sure night! You’re a perfect example of a nice guy. First screw a girl without knowing her marital status. Then see yourself plastered all over the newspaper in a shameful position. Then go check the CCTV footage and find some innocent girl moving around backstage doing her business and instantly assume that she’s the culprit. And then do the unthinkable and fool her at a bar and have revenge

Chapter 21: Choices We Make Elena’s P.O.V: “Hi,” I told Knight awkwardly as I stood outside his door. “Can I come in?” “O-of course!” Knight seemed to snap out of his stupor and moved aside to let me through. “Please, have a seat. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I could’ve come to pick you up.” “I didn’t want to trouble you in case you had plans.” I entered his penthouse apartment and felt quite impressed with the décor inside his house. “Your house is really beautiful.” “Thanks,” he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “I can give you a tour if you want.” “I do, but maybe later.” I told him as he guided me over to the living room and I sat down on one of the comfortable blue sofas. I was starting to get a lot tired lately; I could sleep on for hours and still feel tired. The doctor says it’s normal but it’s actually quite troubling for me as my work time keeps decreasing. “We need to

Chapter 22: Maybe… Elena’s P.O.V “Here,” Landon held out a steaming cup in front of my face. “What is it?” I took the cup from him and took a whiff of the scents inside the cup. “Hot chocolate?” Landon took his seat beside me as we waited to board our plane and spread his hand at the back of my chair. “I got it because it’s one of your favorites.” He said. “I’m not sure if your pregnancy has affected that.” “No, it hasn’t.” I shook my head and took a small sip, careful not to burn myself. “I can’t have red meats though, or fish. Eggs and chicken seem to be the best option.” “I’m glad you’re still non-vegetarian,” Landon smiled. “I’ve heard of women turning vegetarian or completely vegan when they get pregnant and vice-versa.” “Oh! You’re right!” I exclaimed. “I’ve heard Lara say something similar a while back. She asked if I’d undergone any changes in diet recently.” “See. I’ve been stu

Chapter 23: Coming Home Elena’s P.O.V After the three hour plane ride back to my home in Ontario, Canada, I was just about ready to pass out and not wake up for a year. Not only was I dead tired, but the fear of having to face my parents was a constant icy fist around my heart that kept on squeezing until I was nearly to the point of hyperventilation. I clutched Landon’s arm in mine and gave it a rough squeeze, I tried to speak to him but I couldn’t form words. I was gulping in air, but even then I felt like my lungs weren’t getting enough of it. But even before I could say anything, Landon was already dragging me away towards the restrooms. He wrapped me securely in his arms and took me inside the ladies room. I vaguely remember hearing a few angry protests, but then Landon was speaking to them in a hushed voice and soon, the washroom emptied out and he helped me up on the counter and started rubbing his hand

Chapter 24: Meet the Parents Elena’s P.O.V It’s only been three years since I left home but when I saw the familiar gates of the mansion approaching from a distance, I was immediately swarmed with memories of my childhood days. And when Landon used a remote to punch in the security code, the gates parted for us and I saw a glimpse of my home after a long time, I felt all my breath rush out of me. It was just as I’d remembered it, breathtakingly beautiful. The house had belonged to my grandparents on my father’s side, not his own since my father was adopted, but dad did say they were the only family he knew. The mansion however, was made mostly of floor to ceiling glass walls, which is where it got the name glass mansion from. Mom had her own small property a good twenty minutes ride from here, she still has but she prefers the glass manor. My uncle Christian also stops by often, with his wife and daughter. It’s what I’ve grow

Chapter 25: Stupid and In Love Elena’s P.O.V “Is he still following us?” I asked Landon through gritted teeth, my hands clenched on the seat. I was trying hard to suppress the nausea that kept churning in my stomach, threatening to empty out my already empty stomach. “No.” Landon glimpsed at the rear view mirror momentarily before returning his attention back to the road. “I think we lost him when I took a diversion through Orange Street. He isn’t familiar with the roads here so I’m sure we won’t be seeing him anytime soon.” I released a breath I hadn’t been aware of holding and slumped back in my seat. Slowly, I uncurled my nails from the car seat and placed them on my lap. My knuckles were white and my hands hurt from the strain of holding onto the seat for so long. “He isn’t going to let this go, is he?” I asked Landon, my voice sounding a bit breathless. I expected Landon to be reassuring that he and my da

Chapter 26: Rash Decisions Elena’s P.O.V The house was everything I always wanted. The huge living room was the first sight that greeted me as soon as I entered the door. The kitchen was to the left with an area for a dining table where a table for eight could easily fit in. There were three guest rooms on the ground floor with a common bathroom and four bedrooms on the first floor, each with their separate bathrooms. The windows were huge and the ceilings tall and the house was painted an array of pastels with each room being a different theme. The master bedroom was a beautiful green. But one thing I noticed immediately was that the entire house was devoid of any furniture. After I had inspected every room, been to every corner of the house, I turned to call for Landon but found him leaning against the doorjamb of the master bedroom. When he saw me looking at him, he straightened and came to stand in front of me. Th

I hadn’t wanted to but Landon had forced me to have some dinner along the way by reminding me that even though I didn’t want to, but my baby needed sustenance. However, when I reached home, my mother was the only one there to welcome us. “Mom?” I asked, peaking around her to look inside the house. “Where is everyone else?” “On a little sleepover at your uncle’s.” My mom told me. “I figured we should have a girl’s night since we haven’t had one in so long.” “I’ll take your leave now then.” Landon told my mother before stepping off the front porch. “Thank you, Landon. Take care.” My mother called out and Landon waved at us before he entered the car and drove away, leaving me alone with my mom. “Come now.” My mom opened her arms for me and

Chapter 28: Coming HorrorsElena’s P.O.V“I…I’m sorry…for the other day.” Knight apologized. He had his hands on his lap and his face drawn in harsh lines. He had bags under his eyes, indicating that he hadn’t been sleeping well.“Why did you do it?” I tilted my head to the side, studying him. I didn’t know him well enough to understand if he would lie to my face, but I hoped he would give me an honest reply.“Couldn’t we have spoken somewhere privately?” He asked finally, loosening his tie as he looked around at all the people inside the restaurant. I had purposely chosen a public setting because I was pregnant and my hormones were everywhere. I’m pretty sure anyone to persuade me to buy a grenade right now and I wouldn’t even blink. And I needed to keep my head straight. Plus, two of my father’s guards were sitting on a tab

Everything wasn’t clear in the sonography but as much as I could see, I fell in love with my baby even more.“Do you want to know the sex of the child?” The doctor asked.I looked up at Knight, who was sitting very still and squeezing the life out of my hand. “Knight?” I asked when he didn’t answer.He looked at me nervously, still deciding on what to do. I was nervous too but I think it was finally time to know the gender of my baby. Especially science the doctor just announced that I was to have my cesarean section in eleven days. I still found it hard to believe that I was nine months pregnant and about to give birth to my baby and I did

Irritated, I tried to move my hand to shut off whatever the sound was, but I found that I couldn’t move my hand.“…need to do this…”What was that? Was someone near me?“…why? ...you knew…”Landon…I knew that voice!“…yes but…”And Knight! They were near me! But why couldn’t I see them? Why couldn’t they hear me? See me? What was going on?The sound of the beeping increased and so did their voices. They were talking about something…but what?“You saved her life.” It was Knight’s voice. “If you didn’t get her to the hospital in time, Elena could have been in grave danger…we could’ve lost our baby…thank you.”

He looked like a deer caught in the headlights but he was trying too hard not to let his fear show on his face.“Knight?” Emanuel almost looked genuinely surprised as he stood guarding the door. He looked behind him once and pushed the door only slightly open so only his face was visible. “What brings you here? I thought you went to see Elena.”“I did.” Knight said patiently. “I actually had something to talk t

I ran into him when I was coming up the stairs from the storage.”“That’s impossible! Are you sure about that?” Knight asked incredulously.“Was Emanuel there with you that night?” It was Landon who asked that question. “Who did you attend the fashion show with?”“I-I…yes.” Knight finally admitted. “Emanuel went to the show with me but he left halfway through since there w

But thankfully, Knight had acted quick and contacted the website director and told them to take the degrading news down immediately or he would be suing the company for a few millions. The company had taken down the post and deleted all files immediately but I was afraid it wasn’t going to end here. Within the two hour time frame that it had been on the internet, several people would have saved up the document or at least taken screen shots and it would be those rumors that would circulate the internet for a long time to come.Landon had c
