Oh my God! I can't believe Alan did this to me after divorcing me.
Elena's eyes were still fixed on her palm top which she held in her hands. A news with the headline: "DIVORCED WIFE COMMITS FRAUD "with her picture posted along with it. Her hands were shaking terribly, and she could not help but wonder what she did to deserve all this. Elena picked up her phone, her hands trembling as she dialled Alan's number. The phone rang and Alan's deep voice answered. "Hello love, missing me already." "Alan, you need to stop playing tricks on me, bring down that article or else..." Alan's laughter boomed through the phone, making Elena's heart sink."Come on, love you already signed them and we got caught. I will settle you for taking the fall." Elena's grip on the phone tightened."How dare you? After ruining my life, with your useless mistress. You still blackmailed me". Alan's chuckles continued, mocking and annoying."Take the fall, Elena." The line went dead, and Elena was left staring at her phone in frustration. She touched her stomach, remembering the fact that she was carrying the child of this monster made her bitter. Elena's feet carried her across the room, to the wardrobe, her hand reaching out to grasp the handle. With a gentle tug, the wooden door swung open revealing the neatly arranged clothes. She put on a black polo shirt with a black trouser. Her feet slid into the rugged boots, the leather creaking as she laced them up. She packed her long hair into a doughnut style before wrapping her face cap around it. She gazed into the mirror, it was time to move. She descended downstairs, taking one of the car keys placed on the porch box, she zoomed off. She was on her way to confront her annoying ex-husband who just blackmailed her. Arriving at the company, she pushed open the glass door and walked the pathway leading to Alan's office. Elena burst through the conference room door, her eyes blazing with determination. She strode across the room, her heels clicking on the floor, grasped Alan's shirt and pushed him to his office close to the conference room locking it. The conference room went silent, the other meeting attendees staring at the door, before they walked out one of the other.Meeting dismissed. "Alan, how could you? "She demanded, her voice low and urgent. Alan's eyes widened, as he tried to lose Elena's hands from his shirt. "Elena, please... "he began, but she cut him off. "No, Alan. You are going to tell the whole world that I am not guilty. I promise to cover you up if you say so."She whispered, tears streaming down her face. "See love, I'll pay you, I promise...Just please go and I promise to bring you out after a week." Elena's grip on his shirt tightened."Do you think money can fix this Alan? Alan, I hate you for ruining my life." His voice cracked."I am sorry, but you need to take the fall. Victoria is carrying my child and nobody recognises you. I married you because of mum so I promise I will settle you. Just hang in there. I can't go to prison. I'm scared." "Scared?"She repeated, her voice heavy with disbelief. Alan, I am pregnant. I just found out three days ago. The room went silent, the only sound was the heavy breathing of the two of them. Alan's face grimaced, his eyes widening in disbelief. He released himself from her hand and took a step back."No no, no, this can't be happening." he muttered. Shaking his head, his voice rose."You are lying, Elena. You are trying to trap me with another man's child." Elena stood her ground, her chin raised."You know I'm telling the truth, Alan. " Alan's face twisted like a snarl as he held Elena by the neck pushing her to the wall. She struggled to shout but nothing came out not even a sigh. As she struggled to catch her breath, Alan slammed her to the floor. Elena landed with her stomach screaming in pain. Elena's scream pierced the air as she struggled to stand, her body trembling in pain. She held her abdomen, her eyes wide with terror. "Ahh!"She wailed, her voice cracking. As she stumbled forward, her hand brushed against her pants, and she felt a sticky wetness. Her heart raced faster, her mind reeling. Just then, Alan lunged at her. But as he grabbed her, his hands came away stained with blood. Alan's arms wrapped around Elena's body, lifting her off the floor. He carried her effortlessly, her screams echoing through the room as he dropped her onto the chair. She collapsed forward, her body shaking with pain and fear. Without a glance, Alan ran into the bathroom, took the towel hung it on the rail and returned to the office. His movements were swift as he knelt to wipe the blood stains on the floor. He stared at Elena before going to drop the towel on the trash can close to the door. The news anchor's voice droned in the background, but the words." Elena declared wanted." flashed on the screen making Alan and Elena's head jerk up to look at the screen. Alan's face twisted into a soft grin as he gazed at Elena's. A low, annoying chuckle thundered from his throat, growing louder and louder until it became a cold, mirthless laugh. Elena's eyes flashed with anger and fear as she stared at Alan, her voice trembling with rage."You are a psychopath!" she spat, the words torn from her lips."A monster!" Alan's laughter grew louder, his eyes glinting. He took a step closer to Elena, his voice dripping."Elena dear, you are not going to suffer much. You will be fine. Just hang in there. Alan's hand reached out, his fingers closing around the phone on the table. He lifted to his ear, his thumb dialling a number with a swift motion. As he waited for an answer, his eyes never left Elena's face. "This is the police, how may I help you?"A voice answered on the other end. Alan's voice was low."I need to report a want she's in my office... right now." The voice on the other end spoke."We will be there right away." He disconnected the call. A cold smile spread across his face. Elena fixed her gaze on Alan still groaning in pain as she struggled to lift herself from the chair where she rested. "The police are on their way, Elena. You 're not going anywhere."Elena's eyelids opened slowly, groggily taking in her surroundings. She lay on a hospital bed, surrounded by the smell of antiseptics, drugs and the soft beeping of machines. As she tried to lift her hand, she felt a pain and a cold metal digging into her wrist. Her gaze followed the handcuff chained to the bed rail.Her father and brother stood beside her, their faces filled with concern."Elena, thank God you are awake!" her father exclaimed, his voice trembling.Her brother rushed to press the call button."Doctor, she's awake!"Elena began to wonder how she ended up here. The last place she was in her ex-husband's office." W... what happened?" she stammered."How is my baby?" her voice barely audible.The doctor burst in, a warm smile on his face."Welcome back, Elena."Elena's voice trembled as she asked, "My baby? How's my baby?"The room fell silent, her family's faces filled with sorrow. The doctor's eyes dropped, his expression sombre.Elena's heart raced, her mind pleading for a
Ethan stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of his sleek house, gazing out at the vibrant cityscape before him. He cradled a glass of champagne on his left hand as he unbuttoned his shirt. Undone to the midpoint of his chest revealing a glimpse of his strong chest, adorned with a gleaming silver chain.As he sipped the wine, his eyes never left the city. The door slides open breaking the silence as Bryan his Personal Assistant approaches him with a file in his hand, his footsteps quiet on the plush carpet.With a discreet nod, he offered the file to Ethan, his eyes never leaving his boss's face. Ethan's gaze flickered up from his wine glass, his eyes narrowing slightly as he accepted the file.With deliberate slowness, he opened the file, the papers rustling as they revealed their contents. A smile spread across his face as he gazed at the photographs of Elena. He leaned in, his lips brushing against the paper as he kissed her image."I guess you don't know about this?"Ethan's gaze
Elena's fist pounded the punching bag with anger. The bag swung widely, Alan's picture on it taunting her with every strike.Sweat dripped down her face, her eyes filled with hatred.Her mind wandered away, taking her to the past as she punched the bag harder.The other inmates watched her in awe, some nodding, while some watched her laughing."Hey, it's time for lunch."But Elena was too consumed by her rage to notice. She swung her fist again, accidentally striking the woman.The woman shouted, stumbling black. The environment fell silent, all eyes on Elena."Oh my God, I'm so sorry Jasmine! Elena said, her face pale with shock.Jasmine's eyes blazed with anger, her face reddening. Without warning, Jasmine's fist, flew towards Elena's face, giving her a hard punch.Elena's head snapped back, as Jasmine's fist made contact with her cheek. Her face stung, with the force of the blow sending a jolt of pain through her skin.Jasmine's fist clenched, her arm cocking back for another. Elen
As the heavy steel doors creaked open, Elena walked away from the prison. She felt the warm sun on her skin, a sensation she hadn't experienced in three long months.As she walked, the sound of the prison doors closing got fainter until she got to the main entrance.Elena's fingers grasped the collar of her jacket, pulling it back and over her shoulder, as she stepped out into the bright sunlight.As she emerged, a figure darted towards her. Her secretary's heels clicked on the pavement, a warm smile spreading across her face."Welcome ma'am, we 've missed you so much." her arms outstretched, enveloping Elena in a warm embrace.Elena smiled, her eyes shining with warmth."It's great to be seen, she replied, her voice gentle."Her secretary held her at arm's length, taking in the sight of her."You look free..."Elena's smile grew wider."I am. Now let's get out of here. I need to go home.""Of course, boss."Secretary Ann nodded taking Elena's jacket from her.As they settled into the car
Elena pushed open the door to the office hall, a hush fell over the room. The soft hum of fluorescent lights and the gentle rustle of papers suddenly seemed amplified as all eyes turned to her.Two days ago, Elena's life turned from grass to grace when her heiress status was revealed at the party, splashing her face across news headlines and billboards.Elena's heels clicked on the floor as she approached the receptionist's desk. Her gaze swept the room, meeting the stares of the office staff. A gentle hum of whisper rustled through the office, like a soft breeze stirring leaves."Wow..." someone breathed, the word barely audible."Stunning," another voice whispered, the tone hushed out admiring.She reached the receptionist's desk. Her lips curved upward, the corner of her mouth rising in a gentle arc, as her face relaxed into a soft, radiant smile.She slid her glasses off, revealing her eyes that shone in the fluorescent light."Welcome Miss. Elena!" she exclaimed, her voice full o
Elena stepped out of the limousine and onto the red carpet, the soft glow of the restaurant's entrance lights illuminating her stunning features. The chauffeur's gloved hands offered a gracious assist, and she accepted with a smile. As she walked on the red carpet, her dinner gown made of sequence shined in the evening light, drawing the gaze of passersby.The restaurant gleamed with elegance, its sign reading "Bistro Bliss".A woman in a tailored suit welcomed her with a bow, ushering her into the reception hall.At the reception desk, a hostess presented her with a card written "VIP" in silver foil."Right this way, ma'am, "she said with a smile, leading her to a section adorned with candles, fresh flowers, and plush velvet drapes.The soft lighting and jazz music welcomed her.Ethan turned the moment he saw Elena. His charming smile was overwhelming as he walked towards Elena giving a perfect look to his black suit. He hugged her. Kissing her on the forehead before he offered a gra
The hum of conversation and clinking glasses enveloped Elena as she swept into the hall. Her short gown with a sweetheart neckline revealed her breasts and a matching purse dangling from her fingers as she reached for a wine glass from the passing waiter's tray.Elena raised the glass to her lips, her gaze fixed on the couple at the front. She took a sip as she walked in the direction the couple were seated.Elena's glance fell upon Victoria's belly, her eyes lingering on the subtle curve of her belly. A warm smile spread across her face as she raised her glass in a silent toast."Congratulations to the latest couple in town."Alan's chair scraped against the floor as he shot to his feet, his face darkening with a mix of surprise and annoyance."Elena, what are you doing here?"Elena's fingers brushed against Alan's tie, her touch as light as a feather."Don't puff up like a doughnut, Alan." she teased, her voice dripping with amusement. Today's supposed to be joyful, remember?She sm
Elena punched and kicked, trying to escape. Suddenly, a bike stopped to a halt beside her. The rider slammed into her attackers, sending them flying. He yanked off his helmet, revealing messy brown hair."Elena, come on!" he shouted.Elena's eyes widened as she recognized the rider - Ethan. She grabbed his hand and swung her leg over the bike. Ethan sped away, leaving the fight behind.As they sped onto the main road, Elena's grip on Ethan's waist loosened, and she let out a deep breath. Ethan glanced at her in the side mirror, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled."How did you know?" Elena asked, her voice laced with curiosity.Ethan's smile faltered for a moment, and he focused on the road ahead. "Know what?" he said, his tone casual, but his eyes darting back to hers in the mirror."I destroyed the clip, Ethan," Elena said, her voice firm. "Stop playing dumb."Ethan sighed, his shoulders sagging. He pulled the bike over in front of a shop and killed the engine. Without a
