I woke up the next morning, and the sun was shining brightly, the curtains slightly opened, allowing the light to seep through.

I turned over, looking at Elle who was sleeping peacefully. It was her first night at my place and she was a sight to behold. I wouldn't mind this glorious view for the rest of my life.

I'd shamelessly die a happy man.

Her pink lips were slightly parted, her hair fanned across the pillow. She looked like a literal goddess, her brunette hair contrasting against her skin.

She was so beautiful.

Her long lashes brushed against her cheeks as her eyes fluttered open, blinking as she woke up.

"Good morning." She murmured sleepily, her blue eyes staring into mine.

"Morning, malyshka." I peppered small kisses all over her face.

She giggled, and I rolled over on top of her, staring into her eyes.

"You're so beautiful. I could wake up to this sight every morning." I whispered, pressing a kiss to her lips. She smelled heavenly. Even in the morning, without

A wonderful chapter as always, I’m wondering why his mother showed up. She is his manager and I wonder if she showed up because of the rumours or if Sebastian had a hand in it. He did leave pretty salty and will probably try to force a collaboration so he can keep tabs on Elle. Man is pathetic

    S E B A S T I A NIt was six am on a Monday morning, the sun has barely risen and I was driving on the road in my black Mercedes G wagon.After yesterday's unpleasant encounter with Elle's new fuck buddy, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that she was dating him. What's his game? Why is he going after my wife?Wait—Did I just say my wife?I scoffed and shook my head.That woman is no longer your wife. She's a manipulative, selfish whore. You were nothing but a fool for her.She made a fool out of me. She betrayed and humiliated me. The only reason I'm even doing this is to expose her, and let him know that she's no angel.He's in for a big surprise.The traffic was moving slowly and my knuckles tightened around the steering wheel.My anger was directed towards Mikhail instead of Elle and I couldn't fucking understand why. I hated that bitch. Hated her for cheating on me.But I hated Mikhail Volkov more for dating her, for touching her. Images of him fucking her crossed my mind

    E L L EMikhail is a spitting image of his mother. The only difference is, his eyes are a darker shade. His mother's eyes were a lighter, brighter brown. But, other than that, he's a carbon copy of her."What are you doing here?" He asked, shock written all over his face."Can't a mother drop by her son's place, unannounced, without raising an alarm?"He shook his head, "Of course you can. I just wasn't expecting you.""Well, you can expect me more often. This place is gorgeous, Mishka.""Thanks. Come in, Mom."His mother stepped inside, and he closed the door behind her.She turned toward me, and smiled with confusion. "Hello. I'm Anastasia, Mikhail's mother."I stumbled a bit, initially hiding behind Mikhail to avoid her attention, but eventually, I stuck my hand out, "Elle.""Ah, so you're the Elle." She said, grinning widely."What are you talking about, Mom?" Mikhail asked, glancing between us."Oh, nothing. Your brother is coming by with his family later today, I was just tellin

    E L L EThe sound of his name alone made my blood boil with anger. What the hell was he doing here? Hasn't he done enough? What prompted his unwanted visit?"Send him in."The assistant nodded, and I sighed, leaning back in my chair.I knew whatever Sebastian was here for, it was no good.Sebastian was a sore reminder of the past. The painful and ugly past, one I never ever want to reminisce. The past one month of being with Mikhail, I had almost completely forgotten about Sebastian, not until today that he decided to grace me with his unpleasant visit. Sebastian strolled in, and he stood staring at me for a few moments. His eyes held a mixture of emotions which I couldn't really detect, or I didn't really care enough to.His brows were furrowed as if rethinking his decision of coming here. And he should.I stared back at the man I was hopelessly in love with five years ago. The man who betrayed me and left me all alone in this cruel world.Sebastian took a seat on the chair across fr

All this goddamned pregnancy knows how to do is fuck with me and give me a migraine.I was supposed to be at the doctor's, but here I am, lying in bed and feeling like shit. I have to be there today. My appointment is important and I can't miss it, especially in my last month of pregnancy."Fuck this."Sebastian has been nothing but a shitty husband since my third trimester. He constantly came home late, left before I’m even able to wake up and forced me to take a maternity leave from my company because the baby could arrive at anytime. Which makes me wonder, if he knows the baby isn’t his, would he still care about me and the baby?He claims to love the child but he has never attended any of my ultrasounds, never held my hand when I was in pain or cried alone when I felt like a failure. He was absent from the pregnancy, and he has a lot of making up to do.I know what I did was wrong. And I feel horrible. But it doesn’t change the fact t

Anger surged through my veins, the need to punch something was strong, but the only thing stopping me was the car window.Her nonchalance, her anger, her fucking smirk, everything about her made me angrier. I wanted to punch her, wipe that smirk off her face.The sound of her palm connecting with my cheek was still echoing in my mind.Elle, the love of my life, the person who I had thought would be the mother of my children, the only woman I ever truly loved. The one woman who broke my heart and ruined me.She was nothing but a lying bitch. A cheater, a whore, a slut. She didn't deserve a single ounce of love from anyone.

    E M O R YI drove into the garage, sighting Sebastian's car which could only mean he was back.It was quite unusual to see him home at the hour, but I was thankful that I'm at least going to spend some time with him.Pushing the thoughts of all I discovered at the hospital, I pressed the lock button on my car key, watching as the car honked.The sound of my heels clicking against the pavement filled the silence of the night.I turned around, the lights of the building were illuminating the parking lot and giving the entire place a golden glow, making the dark night look more beautiful.I opened the door to the house, immediately noticing a lone figure standing next to one of the dining chairs.I rushed towards him and pulled him into a hug, which he didn't reciprocate. I inhaled his cologne, sighing. This was really my man. Never in my life did I believe I'd finally be able to get my hands on him, and here I was married to him even. Who would have fucking thought?

I was helpless didn't know what was going on, totally clueless and the worst might have even happened.What if she doesn't make it? What if the baby doesn't make it? What if I lose both of them at the same time? Just because I was so busy accusing her of lying.If anything happens to them, I'll never forgive myself.My hands trembled and tears formed in my eyes.How could I have been so blind?So stupid.So oblivious.All this while, the woman who gave me genuine love was suffering alone and I was too busy accusing her of shit and not realizing her true intentions.I didn't pay attention to the signs, her mood swings, her weird behavior, her strange ea

But, I had my target for tonight.I graciously sat on the barstool and waved the bartender over."Hi, can I have a vodka, please.""Of course, ma'am." I smiled and crossed my legs, looking at the people sitting at the tables, or drinking at the bar.This was a perfect opportunity to get what I needed."Here's your drink, ma'am." The bartender set the drink down in front of me and I nodded."Thanks." I grabbed the glass and sipped the bitter alcohol, my eyes scanning the room.There.The perfect one.His eyes were already on me, his beer belly protruding.

    E L L EMikhail left early the next morning, promising to check on me soon. My father was at the office, since I wasn't mentally in the right state of mind to handle the company for now.My mom was out to catch up with some old friends, so it was just Varian, myself and the heap of securities my father and Mikhail had hired to watch over me.Seriously, but hiring up to twenty people just to guard me is a bit over the top. But after experiencing what happened two weeks ago, I understood their concerns and why they took so many measures. And to be honest, I felt protected knowing that there were people that would fight for me if need be. My phone dinged, signaling a text message. Varian was busy playing video games and the living room was on the other side of the house, so no one would disturb me.I smiled, seeing a text from Mikhail.Mikhail: I miss you.Elle: I miss you too.Mikhail: What are you doing?Elle: Nothing. Just laying on my bed.Mikhail: Should I order you and your broth

My anger was beyond controllable. I could barely keep my shit together.I've had a perfect plan, but the damn men ruined it."What happened?" I asked calmly, though it was more like a threatening question."We’re sorry, mistress. She escaped before we could get a hold of her.”I stood to my feet, walking towards them and glaring into their eyes."How did she escape? I gave you guys all the necessary information and resources. How did she manage to escape? You're supposed to be the best, but you failed. You failed me.""Mistress, please forgive us. It wasn't our fault.""Not you

I was putting on a shimmery red dress and silver heels, feeling superior and on top of the world.My make up was well done and my body was banging in this dress.

My parents and brother were across from us.It was awkward, and no one spoke for the first couple of minutes.My dad cleared his throat."So, how long have you been seeing my daughter, Mikhail?"Mikhail finished chewing his food and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Six months now, sir.""And, what do you plan to do with my daughter in the future?""Dad!" I scolded."What? Am I not allowed to ask these questions? You're my daughter.""I know, but, Dad.""Mr. Marino, with all due respect, I plan on marrying her. I love your daughter so much, sir. I would do anything for her. Anything. And, if she'll have me, I would be the happiest man in the world."My heart skipped a beat and my stupid brother wriggled his eyebrow, giving me a smirk."Are you sure about that?" My dad asked."Positive. I would like to have your blessing, sir. I know I'm not good enough for her. I know I can never deserve someone like her. But, I promise that I'

    E L L EI heard a beeping noise and a faint sound of footsteps. It felt like I was floating, and the beeping was getting louder and louder.My body felt numb, and my eyes were heavy. It was cold, and the sheets were rough.I didn't know where I was.The beeping was too loud, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. My eyes fluttered open and I winced at the bright lights, before closing them again.My head was pounding and throbbing painfully, as if it was about to explode. My mouth was dry, and my lips were chapped. I could taste the blood in my mouth and it made me nauseous.The footsteps stopped, and the voices were clearer."Is she going to be okay?""What's wrong with her?""When is she going to wake up?"I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the bright lights and looked around. I was in a hospital room. The beeping sound was coming from the machines and the footsteps were doctors and nurses.I could see people standing near the door, their voices low.I tried to speak,

The end of our mini vacation.Mikhail and I were in his car as we drove out of the mini heaven and back into the city.He looked calm, but I knew he wasn't looking forward to this any more than I was.My new car has been moved to my house the previous day, I would rather sit in the car with Mikhail than drive behind him. At least, I get to enjoy passenger princess benefits.Mikhail had one arm resting on the steering wheel and his other hand was holding mine, our fingers intertwined.As much as I hated to leave the house, the mini vacation had given me and Mikhail the space and time we needed. I didn't think it was possible for our bond to become even more stronger, but it did.

    E L L EI was watching Mikhail swim, his shirtless body glistening as the sunlight hit him.God, he looked gorgeous.I was sitting by the pool, and my eyes were glued to him, as he swam laps. I was wearing a sexy two piece bikini and Mikhail couldn't keep his eyes off of me. I knew exactly how to distract him.Ever since we had that talk last night, I could sense the difference in his behavior. He was more open and affectionate, which was good, but the fact that Lana had already tried to call him twice today, meant she wouldn't give up.He blocked her number right after though, and I suggested he came out for swimming to help him take his mind off of things since it was one of his favorite things to do. But, every time he went underwater, he would lift my legs and touch them.He swam closer to me, pulling my legs up so he could stand between them, and I wrapped them around him. His hands wrapped around my ass and he squeezed, causing a soft moan to escape my lips."Mm. You drive me c
