G I O V A N N AI ran towards Elle and caught her just before she could hit the floor. Her eyes lulled back and her whole body was limp.I immediately picked her up, grabbed my car keys and hurried outside."It's okay, Elle. I'm gonna get you help, okay?"The moment I buckled her inside, I got behind the wheel and drove off towards the hospital.My heart was hammering in my chest, and I could hear my blood rushing through my veins.I was scared. Scared for my best friend.She looked sick and pale and it had only gotten worse.I didn't even waste any time in the waiting area, and rushed straight to the reception."Please help. My friend is really sick, and she fainted. I need help."The lady immediately pressed the button and the doctors rushed to the scene."What's her name?""Elle.""Her surname?""Marino."They placed her on a stretcher and asked me to wait outside the room while they checked her.The moment I left the room, I called Avery."Hey, baby. How's Elle?""I'm at the hospi

G I O V A N N A"Do not put words in my mouth, Giovanna. I love Elle and she's like a sister to me, and you know how much I'm worried.""Then focus on why we're here and nothing else, do you fucking get it? Claire and I had an history, it's all in the past now. I'm not going to put her life on pause just because I fucked her. She's doing her job and it isnt my fault that we'll always get to see her, I can't wipe her off the face of earth. So, get the fuck over yourself and stop bringing up this bullshit every damn chance you get. It's fucking annoying.""Fine." She muttered, and let go of my hand.She didn't say a word to me again after that, and I was grateful for the silence. I couldn't deal with her dramatic ass anymore.When the Marino family came back out, Avery and I walked inside.The sight of her, so weak and helpless, was heartbreaking.Her skin was pale white and her eyes were dull, she had an IV injected in her vein and the monitor beeped every second, recording her heartbe

S E B A S T I A NThe moment I stepped into the house, a foul smell greeted me. The living room was a mess, leftover pizza, opened drink, and candy wrappers were strewn on the floor.I shook my head.No matter how much I've gone through this for the past five years, I still couldn't get used to it.I walked into the bedroom and it was just as expected. Empty plates of food, used underwear, and clothes littered the floor. It looked like a pigsty.On the bed lay a woman, my wife. Her arms and legs spread out, in a drunken slumber. The stench that emanated from the bed made me grimace.I looked at the sleeping figure and sighed. I'd always hoped she'd clean up her act one day, but now, looking at her, all I felt was a dull anger and frustration.My pregnant wife would rather sleep all day, than take a shower. Don't get me wrong, it would be totally understandable if she only became dirty and lazy before pregnancy, because it takes a lot to carry a human inside of you, but this started eve

S E B A S T I A NI left the bedroom and walked around the house, searching for her. I finally found her in the guest bedroom, she was freshly showered and putting on her nightgown.She looked at me and rolled her eyes."Em," I said, taking a step forward."Don't come near me," she snapped.I sighed. "Em, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. You know, I'm going through a lot and I'm very frustrated. But, you have no idea how grateful I am to have you in my life, and how much I care about you and the baby. I just want the best for the two of you, and I want to give you the life you deserve. Let me hire the maid, Em. Please. You don't have to do anything, except take care of yourself and the baby. You've helped me a lot, and I'm trying to return the favor. Okay?"She stared at me, and I couldn't tell what was going through her mind."I know I'm not the best wife, Seb. I know I'm lazy, and irresponsible, and I drink a lot, but I'm trying. I'm trying to make myself better,

E M O R YI parked my car in the factory's garage, and walked towards the building."Good morning, Mrs. Black," the security said, as he held the door open for me."Good morning," I said, before walking into the building.We were making new products since the old ones were sold out, and I needed to make sure the manufacturers are following my rules.I put on a pair of gloves and a mask before walking in, the smell of chemicals was strong."Hello, ladies and gentlemen," I said, and all the workers greeted me back."How's the work going?""Great," one of the workers said, "we've finished making 200 units of the cream. It'll be delivered by tomorrow, as per the order.""And the special stuff? Did you add it to the 200?""Yes, madam. Just as you instructed. But, ma'am, I think it's high time we stopped applying them to the products as they could be quite harmful to the human skin. We can't just give people cancer and call it a day, that's not a good way to run a business. And the FDA woul

E M O R Y"Money?" I laughed. "You need money? I gave you one million dollars five months ago from my new business so you can stay out of my life and build something for yourself. And you're standing here asking for money?""I spent it," he said, shrugging his shoulders."How the fuck did you spend it? How much did you gamble and drink with the money, Michael? Tell me, please.""It's not my fault, okay? I needed money. I'm a man. I have a lot of debts and—""No, Michael. That's your own damn fault. You're a grown ass man, and you gambled away my hard-earned money. I don't owe you shit. Get the hell out of my sight.""I'm not leaving until I get my money," he said, and grabbed my arm, his grip strong and painful.I looked at him, square in his eyes. "I have no money to give you, Michael. One penny, I'm not giving. Now, get the fuck out of my office.""You don't have the money, or you won't give it to me? Don't forget, Em. I have the evidence of the crimes you committed. That's why you

A cold void, hollow and empty.I felt like something was missing, like a part of me was taken away.I didn't understand what it was.All I knew was, there was an emptiness inside me, and nothing was filling the void.I sighed, closing my eyes and resting my head against the seat.Why did this feeling keep haunting me?It wasn't supposed to be this way.Emory was a beautiful woman, she was intelligent, and had a great personality. She was carrying my baby, and we were starting our own family. I couldn't raise a child in a home where her father is not content.So, why was this

E L L EIt's been two annoying days at the hospital filled with endless tests and boring ass doctors checking my vitals and giving me their diagnosis.I couldn't wait to get out of the damn place and go home and it was finally time to go home.My parents and brother had left, they were busy, and I knew I could trust Gio and Avery to take me home. My parents would stop by later at the house to check up on me.As much as I hated the hospital, I was glad that Claire had taken care of me, she was sweet and kind.I didn't want to think it was kind of a special treatment because I'm friends with Gio, but she seemed like a genuinely nice person.She was beautiful, and her eyes held so much sadness in them.She didn't seem to be okay.The door opened, and Gio walked in, holding a huge bouquet of flowers."Hey, what's up?""I'm good, just counting the hours till I'm discharged." I groaned, sitting up."Here. These are for you. They are from me and Avery." Avery smiled at me and nodded, but I a

E L L EThe cops came in right on cue, and they handcuffed Sebastian."You're under arrest for trespassing and disturbing the peace. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." They said and moved him to their van.Sebastian turned to look at me, "I'm not giving up, Elle. I would never hurt you. This isn't over." He said as they took him into the van. "Are you okay, ma'am?" One of the cops asked. "I'll handle it from here." Ivan said."Sir, are you sure?""Yes, he's my friend." I answered for him with a little smile, my body still shaken.The cops left and I turned to Ivan."He called you, didn't he?"Ivan nodded, "And he's probably on a plane right now, cancelling his meetings and getting the first flight back home."I sighed. "He doesn't have to do that. I'm fine now.""Do you know how scared he was that you were all alone? That man was about to murder the whole city if anything had happened to you."And I believe it."Well, nothing happened.""Except you

E L L EMy life was a mess, and so was the room.I was actually exaggerating, but whenever mother nature arrives, my emotions are literally everywhere.My period started today, and I was already an emotional mess. My cramps were always so horrible and I don't even look forward to it. I was sitting on the bed with the lights turned off and my phone in my hands.My hair was in a messy bun, and my face was bare and makeup free.I was wearing an oversized shirt and a pair of sweatpants, unable to sleep.Mikhail was out of the country for business and he'll be back in two days. He left this afternoon and I was already missing him.It was currently 2am and I had to take another round of painkillers before I could finally go to sleep.As if he knew I was thinking about him, my phone rang, and Mikhail's name popped up on the screen."Hey, sweetheart." He said."Hi, how's the meeting going?" It was probably daytime over there. "We finished a few hours ago. How are you doing, my love?"Right

S E B A S T I A NI was on my second bottle of whiskey and it still could numb the pain in my heart. I could earlier hear Emory's voice outside the gate while she shouted to be let in.I had specifically ordered the security guard to never let her into my house ever again, or he was at the risk of losing his job.Her audacity to actually think I would allow her to step foot in this house was unbelievable.The media was going crazy over the scandal and everyone was talking about the affair and the child.Everyone was trying to get the latest gossip and trying to figure out what was true and what was false. My phone has been blaring non stop, notifications after notifications coming in, social media was on fire and everyone was either praising or bashing me.Emory has been calling and texting, and I've been ignoring all of them.She's lost her mind, and it was no surprise. My hatred for her burned like a furnace, spreading across my chest.I've had her for six years and not once did she

Honestly, I didn't care to.My life was literally falling apart after that confrontation with Sebastian. My secrets were out and the last thing I wanted was a baby that was supposed to be my saving grace but is actually my worst nightmare.I was supposed to have the baby to get Sebastian's lineage in my name. And now, I was having her with no one.Michael has been taking care of her, but that was the least of my problems. I was probably getting a divorce from Sebastian, and there was no way I could get him back now.But, I wasn't one to give up easily. I never was.They forced me into a wheelchair, insisting I sit in it for safety. It was ridiculous, but I did

E L L EI haven't seen Giovanna and Avery in a few days and we weren't barely able to catch up, so we decided to have a sleepover/girls night to catch up on everything basically.I was sitting in the car with Mikhail in front of Gio's house. He offered to drop me off. I told him he didn't have to, but he insisted. And now, he wouldn't even let me leave the car.I giggled as he pulled me closer, and his lips grazed the nape of my neck. He knew how much that drove me crazy, and I couldn't resist giving in to him."Mikhail, you're not playing fair." I sighed, trying not to moan."And neither are you." He smirked and pulled my hair back, making it easier for him to access my neck and suck on it.I was only in my pyjamas which was a pink hello kitty two piece. Mikhail's hands roamed over my body, and I closed my eyes as his fingers rubbed against my inner thighs. I felt him bite down on my shoulder and I couldn't help the whimper that escaped my lips."I love hearing you moan for me." Mikha

S E B A S T I A NThe following morning, I heard the sound of the cell door unlocking, and I saw the guard's face peeking in."Come on, get up. Your lawyer is here and you've been granted bail.""Took you long enough." I said, giving the asshole guard a glare as he led me out of the room."You're lucky your lawyer managed to pull a few strings, otherwise, you'd still be rotting in that cell." He sneered."Go to hell."I was taken down the hallways and was brought into the visitors room, where I saw my lawyer waiting and my parents waiting.My mom's eyes were bloodshot as my father tried to console her. She rushed to me, tears falling down her cheeks and she threw her arms around me."Oh, Sebastian. My baby. I was so worried. What did they do to you?" She rubbed my cheek, her eyes looking me up and down."Mom, I'm fine.""Mr. Black. How are you feeling? Are you alright?" My lawyer, Mr. Jonathan asked, his eyes scanning the papers."I'm fine, thank you." I shook his hand with a nod."I'l

S E B A S T I A NThe iron prison door was locked harshly in my face as the guard looked at me. "Have a good night, Mr. Black." He sneered.I glared at him and then at the other guard who stood at the entrance."Go fuck yourself." I gritted out. "Maybe a night in a cell will be enough of a lesson to never raise your hands on a woman, and make her unconscious. Even your billionaire status won't save you from this." He smirked, his dark eyes mocking me.I glared at him and the guard next to him. "If you think I'll stay here for a day, then you're dead wrong.""We'll see."They both walked out of the holding cell, and I was left alone.I leaned my head against the wall and closed my eyes.Elle.Everything hurt so badly.How could Emory be so heartless and cruel?She destroyed my marriage and made a fool out of me. She was a monster, and I couldn't believe I let her into my life.I couldn't believe that I believed her.I knew something was wrong, and yet, I never stopped to listen.I didn

S E B A S T I A NThe rage that was boiling inside me was a mix of betrayal, anger and sadness.I didn't know how I was still standing, still breathing, when everything around me was crumbling down and falling apart.Her words were echoing in my mind, and I felt numb."As if cutting open my body wasn't enough, the baby isn't even a normal one, one that could have just grown up and made me rich. Now, I lost the source to my wealth too! What the fuck have you done, Michael?"Her words kept playing on a loop and the more they repeated themselves, the more it hurt.I've never felt so hurt, betrayed and used before in my entire life.The more I tried to make sense of it, the less it made sense.How could she be like this?How could she do this?Just how terrible could she be?"How did you sleep at nights soundly, knowing that you're not only a golddigger, a liar and a serial cheater. You made me nurture and love a child that wasn't even mine." I asked her."Baby, please, listen. Let's not d

Shh, relax, I'm right here. Take a deep breath, baby. Relax. It's going to be okay."I expected to see the familiar face of my husband, but I was stunned when Michael rushed to my side instead, holding my hand and whispering to me."Michael?" I croaked, my throat was dry and my mouth felt like cotton."Drink." He brought a glass of water to my lips and tilted it, allowing the cold liquid to slide down my throat an
