Chapter 90: I want to forget One evening, Aiden strode into the room after a long day at work and spotted Elsie seated by the window, her eyes intently focused on the book in her hands. He acknowledged her presence with a warm smile, which she returned, her expression softening ever so slightly. Aiden's heart swelled with a glimmer of hope, yearning for things to improve between them. Even though Elsie had not been sleeping in their shared bedroom, she would spend the majority of her days there, until retreating to the room she now shared with Eldon at night. Feeling the exhaustion of the day weighing on him, Aiden made his way to the bathroom, eager for the comfort of a warm shower. As he turned on the faucet, the soothing sound of the cascading water filled the air. His mind, however, remained preoccupied with Elsie's sorrow-stricken face, and endless possibilities raced through his thoughts, all centered on how he might coax a genuine smile back to her lips.
Chapter 91: I Love you The next morning, Aiden was awoken by the sound of the shower from the bathroom door that was left ajar. Panic took over him, and he skipped out of bed in his boxers, scrambling to the bathroom. There he found Elsie in the robe, staring at her stomach through the reflection. He remembered the night after the D&C, she had only stared at her stomach and cried. Even though he hated himself for asking a question he already knew the answer to, he still implored, "Are you okay?" This got her attention, and she swatted her gaze to him. She broadened her lips, which stretched to mimic a smile, but it failed miserably. "I am fine," she said. Cursing underneath his breath, Aiden went over
Chapter 92: Thank you "Is she the one who plays the piano?" In the restaurant where the viral pianist played, Trixson sat by the window ordering a salad as she pestered a waiter with questions. In fact, when the waiter had arrived, he had read the signal all wrong. Trixson winked at him, which made him assume she wanted to flirt with him. Now, he was just annoyed. Trixson asked him the same question several times. "Does she have a hearing problem?" he wondered. Rolling his eyes, he told her firmly, "Yes, she is. Her name is Kate and is the only one who plays piano here. Stop hounding me!" Darting her eyes to the girl, Trixson had a weird gut feeling which told her that the woman Kate was the pianist who went viral, although they had the same body structure. "Okay. THANK YOU," Trixson offered a smile, then tossed a wad of cash on the table before leaving. ### In the next week, Trixson arrived in a black Toyota. She waited on the other side of the
Chapter 93: Make a wish Later that night, as the moonlight shone through the open window of the bedroom, Elsie tossed and turned, grasping at the pillow and speaking inaudibly. Suddenly, her eyes fluttered open, tears brimming in them. She scanned the room in search of something or someone in particular. When she could not find him, she hopped out of bed, ignoring the fluffy flip-flops at the bedside. Her feet came in contact with the cold marble floor, but still, she did not feel anything. She scurried to the bathroom, only to find it empty. More tears ran down her cheek, her heart raced, and she felt restless. The whole room spun around, as if the walls were getting closer and blurrier. Losing her footing made her lose her balance, and she dropped to the floor. Luckily, at the nick of time, she was caught and pressed onto a large chest. She inhaled his scent, which seemed to have an effect in calming her nerves. It was not the first time it happened. Elsi
Book two of the ' Second Chance Séries ' ** Chapter one ; I got my Revenge In the basement laid a young woman in her late thirties, barely unconscious, on a filthy mattress. She had a jagged scar running from her left eyelid to the right side of her face. Her nose was bleeding profusely, and her face was pale. One could hardly hear the words leaving her mouth as multiple men assaulted her. It happened every day for ten years. That was how long she had been stuck, maybe. It was karma paying her for her deeds. Suddenly, an urge to vomit knocked, but rather than puking on this man, she swallowed it because she never knew when her next meal would be and had not eaten anything for several days. "Omg, it's my tenth time, and she is still so tight." The leader of this abuse was Henry Rowan, and the woman was Elsie Ross. He looked haggard twice older than a man in his late fifties, his clothes were torn and wrinkly , had gone completely bald. His once good teeth turned ye
* Chapter 2: I won't spare you "I... Henry..hen.." " Are you so in love with him that you are thinking about him when you're with me? " His rough, angry voice echoed in her room as the sound made by the bed because of their activity became louder. The pain and immense pleasure forced her eyes open. They found the man on top of her and froze. It could not be. Could it? She was in her ex-husband's bedroom. How was that possible? Didn't he die along with her in that cold and dirty basement? She blinked the tears out of her eyes, and asked in a doubtful tone " Aiden?" "Yeah" Aiden responded as he slowed down, his grey-colored eyes met her caramel ones. She glanced over his well-chiseled jawline and his tousled golden brown hair. A spark-like electricity went through her spine just like the first day met. She was confused. Isn't he dead? Was this a dream or a memory? "Aiden Scott?" She jerked up and questioned. "The one and only. Who do you t
Chapter 3; Have you drugged him? The handsome little boy rushed in his school uniform holding his backpack. He was the mini version of his father except for his caramel-colored hair and striking blue eyes.Elton hugged his father's leg " Good morning Dad." Placing a hand on the boy's back, Aiden's face lit with joy "Good morning Eldon. How was your night?" The little lad shrugged and then took his father's hand "It was good. I have something to show you." They sat on the bed. The little lad's curious eyes assessed the environment. He wrinkled his nose at the scattered bed, clothes on the floor, and strange smell in the room. At this point, it did not matter. He was rather nervous about his upcoming recital. Eldon wiped his face with the back of his hand. After rummaging his backpack he brought out a green paper, " Dad, this is my recital. Our teacher said we should write about our favorite parent." Pride warmed his chest at the paragraph his son wrote. At ab
Chapter 4: I will find you '' Have you forgotten? Henry Rowan is in the district hospital due to accident. You need to rush there with the bill. Have you drugged Aiden yet?" Instantly, Elsie's eyes widened. Trixson Dale's words jogged her memory. She now recalled why she came to this room. Trixson Dale had called in the afternoon and informed her about Henry Rowan's motorcycle accident. She spent the day crying and praying due to the tight security at the mansion. Later in the evening, a package arrived addressed to her; it was a white bottle containing white powder. Trix told her to make sure Aiden had it so it would knock him out and she could hack his security from his phone and escape. However, she mixed things up and ended up drinking the wine meant for him. It made her lose control, and she initiated everything from there on. Even though he pushed her away, Elsie forced herself on him until he gave in. Thinking about this, she became very flustered. Her ears
