Elena

Our drive back home was relatively quiet, and I couldn’t look for the right words to speak. Ronan didn’t try to speak to me either. However, Uncle’s words kept ringing in my mind, and I couldn’t believe how silly I have been all these years.

While trying to be the perfect wife, I lost myself in the process.

Now, I would ignore everything Ronan did to me and try to make my marriage work while being true to myself.

There was no need to be somebody else that I wasn’t. To please the man who’s heart was set on another, I became cowardly, someone who agreed to Ronan’s every word, and would never question him, not even when I was suspicious of his deeds. I was the meek and dutiful wife who never raised my voice to my husband. In short, Ronan’s wish has been my command. I literally worshipped the ground on which he stepped, all because I hoped to make his heart beat towards me.

I guess I enede up shooting myself in the foot because Ronan didn’t even like meek girls who didn’t have op

  • Realizing Faults, CEO Wants To Remarry Everyday   016: I love you too, Darcy

    RonanIt was in the spur of the moment that I promised Dad that I would not divorce Elena. Now that we were alone, I didn’t know what to say or feel anymore. I couldn’t think of anything to start a conversation because I felt I had to explain my kiss with Darcy.However, Elena didn’t ask me anything about it. I guess she felt it meant nothing since she also cheated on me with that David guy. The difference between us here was that I didn’t cheat on her as she thought. I hurried into the shower as soon as we reached the bedroom, but nothing prepared me for the sight I met when I emerged from the bathroom. Elena removed her clothes and was only left in her underwear. I met her throwing her clothes into the laundry basket just now. I expected her to avert her gaze and try to cover herself like she always did, but there was no movement. She just stood there like the temptress that she was, making me question everything I ever believed. It has been a long time since I saw my wife like th

    ElenaWhat did I just do? This is so embarrassing! I threw myself at Ronan, but he didn’t even flinch. I understand I had an effect on him, but his heart still belonged to another. Uncle, you said Ronan loved me, but just didn’t realize it yet. I knew it was just my wishful thinking to agree with you, but could I just feel his love for once before I died?Since I was embarrassed at the stunt I pulled just now, I couldn’t face Ronan anymore. His whole stance changed when Darcy’s call came through. How could I hope to be with someone clearly telling another woman he loved her? He didn’t even consider my feelings. I don’t know how I bathed till the water in the tub went cold. Only then did I realise I had been in there for too long. When I stepped out, Ronan was no longer in the room. Thinking back to what happened just now, my mind was cast back to my mobile phone that Benson kept in my bedside drawer. There were a few messages when I switched it on. I also had some voice notes fro

  • Realizing Faults, CEO Wants To Remarry Everyday   018: A bottom line she couldn’t cross

    RonanI hesitated to respond to Darcy that I loved her, but she understood my circumstances. She didn't question me a single bit but offered to speak with me the next day when I was free. Darcy didn't throw a tantrum, and she didn't make a fuss. I loved that about her, and I wished with everything within me that I could marry her and have her in my arms every day. I wanted the whole world to know she was my woman, but because of Elena, I couldn't do it. I had to put my life on hold, or better still, put it aside and be with Elena. It was what made my father happy, and I wouldn't question him any more. As long as he continued to recover, I could keep up this facade for his sake. I needed to sort out a few things in my study, so I left to tackle them. The more reason I left was because I didn't intend to stay in the room when Elena got out of the shower. I wasn't ready to be tempted by her body anymore. It was about thirty minutes when I returned. I expected her to lie down and try to

  • Realizing Faults, CEO Wants To Remarry Everyday   019: Back to the hospital

    Elena I cried myself to sleep last night, unable to understand what happened. I know Ronan has always been biased toward Darcy, but last night was a new level I couldn’t fathom. Darcy sent those thugs to assault me. She targeted my baby—our baby—but my husband only cared about protecting her. He wouldn’t believe me, no matter what I said. I felt a throbbing pain in my wrist throughout the night, but I didn’t have anyone to call for help. I couldn’t even pinpoint when I went to sleep. Waking up this morning, I felt pain all over my arm. It felt worse than it was yesterday. I finally managed to get out of bed with so much difficulty, yet the main problem was getting myself out of these clothes, freshening up, and getting to the hospital. My arm has already swelled up from my wrist upwards. I sucked in a painful breath when I tried to get out of my nightgown. I couldn’t lift my right arm- talk less of raising it above my head, so I opted to cut the dress. I was finally free when it f

    Elena“Harold, I have a lot going on in my life right now. There’s no need to stress my husband over this. It’s just a fracture, right?” How could I allow Harold to involve Ronan, when he was the same person who put me in this situation? If anyone had told me Ronan could be this cruel to me, I would have denied it with my life. Now…“We need to keep you here for a while. You’d be under observation for the next few hours. Elena, if you get better, you’d go home by this evening. If not…” I had no strength in me to argue with Harold.I would protect this child with my life, even if I had to spend the next few months in the hospital-my baby must be born. Just like that, I was on admission, and the nurses came to take my vitals now and then. I slept most of the time, and when I finally woke up around 7:00 p.m, David was with me. My heart skipped a few beats when I cast my mind back to how Ronan accused me of having an affair with him. This man has been protecting me from the shadows.

    RonanI tossed and turned on my bed throughout the night. It was true that Elena made me angry when she said those words about Darcy. However, I didn’t understand why I lost my temper and reacted that way. I saw her pained expression, but I couldn’t care less. When I held her wrist, I felt an impulse to let go, but I couldn’t overcome my anger. Elena did many despicable things, but why must she target someone who hasn’t done anything to her? She put herself in that situation when she cheated on me with David, anyway. Why do I need to take care of her like I didn’t feel hurt about her blatant disregard for me, her husband?While lying on the bed, I felt I should go back and check on her, but my pride wouldn’t let me. Besides, she wouldn’t die because I grabbed her wrist, would she?At the first light of dawn, I left the house, not wanting to face Elena. What if she woke up and claimed she couldn’t see because her wrist hurt? She was that manipulative. Any situation could be turned in

    RonanI clearly told Elena to get into the car, but she was still whispering to her lover. What the heck did she take me for? A fool? “Get into the fucking car, Elena.” I bellowed in a suppressed growl, and I noticed how Elena flinched. She had never been scared of me, but she had to play the pity card at this moment. As I watched her enter the car, I turned back and gave David a glare that could have suffocated him if looks could kill. “Drive!” Even as the driver took off, I noticed Elena looking back. Fuck! My wife was checking to see if her boyfriend was still standing there or not. Here I was, with my groin on fire, yet, my wife was blatantly disregarding me. With the press of a button, I raised the divider and separated us from the driver. To my utmost surprise, I noticed Elena shifting to the other side of the seat. I bet if she could turn into air and disappear from the car, Elena would have done that already. “Come closer.” I had already unbuttoned the buttons on my shirt

    ElenaI have never seen Ronan looking this ferocious-like an injured beast. He was so scary that when he demanded I sit in the car the second time, I did exactly as he said. I didn’t wish to be on his bad side right now. David wanted to argue with him, so I pleaded in a low voice, not wanting to escalate things. “David, please… Don’t argue with Ronan. I beg you.” I was glad he listened and took a step back. Things would have turned out worse, otherwise. When Ronan ordered me to sit on his lap, I became flustered, wondering what he wanted to do. I could see he looked somewhat uncomfortable. Ronan ordered me around, still with that look as if I disgust him. I intended to stay quietly at my position and avoid him. When we reached home, we could all go our separate ways. However, when he grabbed my injured wrist again, all I could do was beg him to let go. The doctor’s words lingered in my mind, as I was unwilling to lose my wrist because I was being stubborn. I was ready to do anyt

    ElenaI walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. I had to take a bath, since my sweat soaked the bed and I couldn’t hide what was happening to my body either. My thighs felt sticky, and I felt like I had a bad itch down there that needed to be scratched-just that my husband could only do this scratch. The urge to get laid got so bad that I could have sworn someone drugged me if I had been outside the house. I have never touched myself before, but for the first time tonight, I felt like I could only get a peace of mind if I did so. I couldn’t tell if the next few months would be this difficult, but I was ready to sail through. Doctor Harold already informed me about how some pregnant women become extra sensitive and honey. I hoped I wouldn’t experience that, but I realized tonight that this prayer of mine hadn’t been answered. I couldn’t have everything, after all. I felt so ashamed of how my libido controlled me tonight, yet I was still grateful that no one else was here to wi

    ElenaI lay motionless on the bed, shrouded in lust and confusion. My gaze was still a little clouded, but I could see everything. I knew who it was. I knew what she did, and I could see the conflict in Ronan’s eyes. I had never been this embarrassed in my whole life. Not only that but I was also unsatiated. These emotions made me frustrated, and angry, but not stupid. I quickly reached for the duvet and covered myself, taking time to allow Ronan to deal with the situation. How dare Darcy enter our room uninvited! A thousand emotions flashed through my head, but none of these made me angrier than the complicated look in Ronan's eyes. The woman he was about to make love to was lying silently in his bed, but his thousand percent attention was on Darcy Taylor-the person who rudely interrupted our couple moments. I was angry, but I didn’t cry. Darcy, on the other hand quickly began her waterworks. “Why did you do this to me, Ronan? Why did you touch her?” She began, and I could se

    ElenaI didn’t know if I should laugh or cry. Here I was, walking into my house as if I was a stranger. I stared at the back of the young boy who startled me in the elevator, wondering if David had succeeded in making me paranoid.“I’m sorry we scared you, boss. It wasn’t my intention.” Ruth stood beside me, fidgeting uncomfortably. I knew my silence was stifling, but I was speechless. I was too embarrassed to say anything. However, the innocent woman felt I was too angry to respond.“Boss, Blake is really not a bad kid. He only looks so muscular because he’s on the football team and spends too much time at the gym. Please, don’t be offended.” If I didn’t stop Ruth, she wouldn’t stop talking about my non-existent anger. ‘What’s he doing here?” That just did it, huh? The woman was already startled, and I had to make her feel like her son wasn’t welcome in my house. I only wanted to know why he came around. “B… Boss, Blake lives here. With me. I promise he won’t cross your path again.

    Elena“Mmmm!” My head hurts like hell. Ouch! What is happening to me?This pain is on a different level. I didn’t even do anything to aggravate my condition, so why would I feel this way? Remembering the last thing I saw, I lifted my hand to my nose and noticed the bleeding had stopped. However, I couldn’t tell where I was.“Where am I?” Shit! It was the familiar smell of disinfectants, the white ceiling, a bed, and a drip hanging up there. When I tried to raise my left hand, the pain from the needle finally registered in my mind. How could I be back at the hospital in such a short time? Why did my nose bleed? Was I deteriorating too fast? Lately, I haven’t stressed myself, and nothing stressful has happened to me. Why then would this happen again? How did I end up here?“Boss, you’re awake.” I turned my gaze toward the excited voice, and in came my housekeeper. I could tell she looked both flustered and relieved at the same time. Was she the one who brought me here? That made a

    Elena“Yes, David. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I reported the case to the police in Saint City. It was a good thing we reported it back in Lockwood. They just need to compare the case files and confirm my statement. You know I already gave them a portrait of the thugs, especially the leader.” David called earlier and said he wanted to check on me, However, after I mentioned that the thugs who attacked me were the same ones who vandalized the Saint City Number 1 High School, he couldn’t stop fretting. “I meant every word, Elena. You need to be extra careful. Those thugs may seem ordinary, but they are more connected than you can imagine. They got away with hitting you the other day, so what wouldn’t they do if they chose to destroy the CCTV footage that could incriminate them? Remember we had nothing on them at the time we went to the police station. It was only our word against theirs. You choosing to allow the police to do their thing because you didn’t wish to invo

    Ronan“Dad, what are you saying? I didn’t do anything to her.”I just now got wind of the trending news about Darcy and me, only to have Dad call my line in the next minute. No matter what I said, he wasn’t ready to listen. “Why would a woman pack her bags and come to your matrimonial home if you didn’t encourage her? Ronan Simpson, is marriage a joke, or has Elena been too soft for you?” Why would Dad believe I did this just because Darcy showed up at my house? She came unannounced. I didn’t even know she was coming to my house. How could I say this without getting him more agitated than he already was?“Dad, please calm down. I didn’t invite her to my house. Trust me, Dad, I wouldn't...”“I am taking Elena out of your house, Ronan. She was my daughter before she became your wife. This has got to stop!” What the! I could feel a headache coming, but there was no way to make Dad stop his train of thought.“I’m sorry, Dad. Can we talk about this later? Please, I really need to go. I’

    RonanI couldn’t call Darcy after she left. There were no other words to explain what happened, and why I took such a firm stance. Even though I had my reasons, I knew she wouldn’t understand.Even though I didn’t allow Darcy into the house, I had my driver drop her home. His only task was to drive me, and no one else. Even Elena was never driven by my personal driver, but Darcy was an exception last night. I expected Darcy’s mind to be at peace after extending my goodwill, but she was still angry because I didn’t allow her into the house. I can’t believe she chose to put me in such a tight spot without speaking to me first.Well, I was only comforted with the thought that the paparazzi wouldn’t blow this out of proportion. Even when I met Darcy for our lunch date earlier today, she didn’t look happy. I tried everything to make her smile, but Darcy still didn’t talk to me. When I had to leave for an emergency meeting, she didn’t even bother to acknowledge me. Throughout our lunch,

    RonanI was here thinking about what Elena was doing at the moment—if she was in the arms of David Spencer or whether she was planning something major against me...What else could she be doing if not to be snuggled in the damn professor's embrace? I lay on her side of the bed, wondering if I could get an inkling of where she was. I needed to find Elena as soon as possible. My peace of mind depends on it. Elena’s mobile phone was proof enough that she planned to torment me as much as she wanted. I must get this phone working soon enough. The blaring sound of a phone’s ringtone jolted me up. I hastily grabbed the broken phone and stared at it from all directions, yet there was nothing in it that showed the sound was coming from within this crap. I looked around the bed and the headboard, wondering if Elena left some other phone that I overlooked. However, the call cut abruptly, and I couldn’t search for the phone. “Ronan, you fool! That was your ringtone. Shit!” Why was I so messed

    RonanI drove back to the house I shared with Elena for three years, my thoughts on nothing else but Elena. How could she fill my head this way when she wasn’t even here? I had no urge to decorate the house, as no one else could do it better than her. She was the only one who took care of things here, and now that she wasn’t around, I had no reason to design the house. I could just leave this place and stay with Darcy if I wanted to. However, I felt a little hesitant, because Elena could come home and meet my absence. Who could tell what she would do if she returned and didn’t find me here. Anything was possible with Elena Jones. I bypassed the quiet Benson, who looked like he wanted to ask me something. However, when he noticed my icy gaze, he backed away. I knew what he wanted to ask. How could I tell my housekeeper that my wife left home without finding it necessary to inform me about her plans? Elena even left everything I gave her. No. She burned everything I ever got for her
