Elise stirred, her body adjusting to the presence by her side. Warmth radiated all about her, coupled with the minor sores that ran from her thighs to her limbs. Slowly, her eyes opened and as she stared into the space in front of her, it became more clear to her that Alejandro’s arm was draped over her. Quickly she turned to her side to meet his eyes wide open as he stared at her.He stayed beside her, his gaze fixed on her with a smile on his lips that made her swallow, especially as every memory that they shared the previous night was clear in her head. The morning light that seeped in through the curtains highlighted his features making him more irresistible to her, or maybe she was still under the effect of his touch.“Good morning, Lily. I hope you slept well.” His voice was deep, and seductive which made her wonder if he had slept at all.When it dawned on her how close she was to him, her first instinct was to jerk away and create some distance between them. But as soon as

It was not up to ten minutes after Alejandro stepped out that Diane entered with a wide smile and a tray that held a glass of a smoothie. “Good morning Ma’am.”“Good morning.” Elise nodded in response, trying to shift her thought away from the discussion that she had with Alejandro earlier. Thankfully, she had managed to raise herself and slipped into a light gown that covered her. She reached for the glass and after gulping down the drink, went through her usual routine with Diane. Which basically was to prepare her bath water, dress up, and clean her room. Once they were done, Diane probed. “Should I bring your food over here?”Elise furrowed her brows for a moment before answering. “Let’s go to the dining room instead.”Diane’s eyes widened slightly but she quickly recovered. “Of course, Ma’am.”Just the previous day, Elise had mentioned that she wanted to sit in the garden, and now she was going to eat in the dining room. Something that she had never seen her do since she mov

Actively, Elise had never craved the thought of being Alejandro’s wife. That was never part of the plan, even when her parents did their own thing. Call her selfish but she had agreed to their marriage mainly to secure her future as a doctor and buy her freedom from her family that had never truly cared for her. It was a simple plan, one in which she completely did her part. But did it really turn out simple?Because no matter how much Elise told herself that this arrangement was temporary and that she was only here for her goals even as Alejandro was refusing to let her go, she couldn’t deny the tangled emotions creeping into her heart.Which only came alive again as Diane talked of the ladies that flocked around Alejandro. She really should not care about those things. The thought of stepping into a grand event like the company’s dinner at Alejandro’s side, as his wife made her stomach churn. What unsettled her most was not clear yet. Elise was not sure if it was being by his sid

Hours had passed and Elise was done with breakfast, left with nothing else to do. She had browsed through some things online and had ordered a chessboard that she planned to use to keep herself busy while being in Alejandro’s place. Her mind still circled around the thought of seeing Clara at the event later in the day, and somehow she panicked, but her resolve was much firmer now. Diane had taken care of her laundry, and while Elise sat on the edge of the bed staring at nothing in particular, a knock came on the door. Before she could stand, Diane who had been folding some clothes rushed to it. “I’ll get it.”As soon as she opened, one of the workers came into view holding a black box wrapped with a silver ribbon and another fancy bag. “A package came in for the Madam.”“Oh, thank you.” Diane nodded, then took it from the staff before closing the door behind her.“I guess it’s the dress he mentioned,” Elise whispered to only her hearing then reached for it. The way Diane smiled, i

The voice was very familiar, so much so that it sparked an ache through Elise’s chest. And before she lifted her face, she was almost silently praying that it belonged to her. The moment her gaze settled on the lady in front of her, the words, “You?” escaped her lips unrestrained. Lena stood still, shocked too on seeing Elise. It was almost a decade since she last sent her eyes on her, a decision that she had to take for good. For a moment, uncertainty filled her mind on seeing Elise, she had to choose between staying back, pretending that everything was okay, or bolting out of the door. Which in itself would have made her seem stupid.Elise stared at her with the warmth that clouded her eyes as she took in the features of the lady who had loved her and cared for her while she worked as their housekeeper, Lena. She had a petite size that seemed cute with her brown eyes, the same as Elise remembered, and her very dark hair that was neatly parked into a bun.After a very long time, E

The minutes passed with Elise stealing glances at Lena while she worked on her face. Naomi on the other side occasionally showed Elise hairstyles on her tab to know her preference. A process that Diane mostly made the picks as Elise struggled to choose what she wanted. By the time Lena stepped back, it was hard to recognize the woman sitting in front of the mirror, even to Elise herself. Her flawless skin even looked more graceful, and her eyes gleaned with soft smoky shadows that Lena had made. And the subtle shade of crimson on her lips gave it that pop that felt so bold. The blush that ran along her cheekbones was just enough to maintain Elise’s natural elegance and beauty. “Okay, you are all set,” Lena announced as she sprayed some liquid on Elise’s face, while her left palm blocked her eyes. Then stepped aside to give Elise a better view of herself. For about the next ten seconds, Elise was lost at what to say. She had relaxed when she knew that Lena was the person that woul

Lucas stood just outside, in front of the black car holding the car door open as Alejandro guided Elise out of the house. In front of that car and behind it were a few of Alejandro’s men seated inside other cars. A measure that Alejandro had always put in place for security reasons. Elise swallowed countless times as she moved closer. The life she lived now was not a life she had ever imagined herself in, despite having big dreams. Her heels clicked against the pavement as she walked, and as soon she slid into the seat at the back, she exhaled. An exhale that was quickly short-lived, as Alejandro settled beside her. The door closed with a soft thud, and Lucas swiftly moved to the other side, taking his position behind the wheel. As if on cue, the engine of every other car that was with them came alive once Lucas started his, and in no time, they pulled out of the large estate. Alejandro’s estate. Through the tinted glasses, Elise’s gaze swept over the city’s landscape as

As Alejandro stepped closer and tightened his hands around her waist, Elise’s heart took triple beats against its walls. For a moment, the world around her seemed to blur, even as the piercing gaze from the people that gathered nearby clearly reminded her that she was in a gathering like this. And she was the stranger. Alejandro’s scent which smelled like cinnamon spice and cedar wood consumed her completely and in no time, the only thing she thought was how beautiful it felt to be protected by him. “Are you too shy to respond? I know I was gone for quite a moment.” Elise lowered her face and then muttered softly. “I did not miss you.” He stared at her with a smile for a moment, which seemed like an eternity but once he lifted it to Clara and the rest of the people it disappeared. And he looked cold with his eyes darkening. “So,” he began, focusing on Clara who was clearly shivering. “What were you saying?” Clara’s lips went apart as she struggled to form words, but no co

Yes, she knew she had a problem with communication. It was not like she never tried.Before she got into this arrangement with Alejandro, she was communicating her needs when her parents tossed her into it. Even with Alejandro, she had always been clear with what she wanted from the start. And when the time came, for him to keep to his words from the ‘communication,’ he acted like no conversation was ever heard. Different scenarios, but the same results repeated itself.Elise was starting to believe that every time she opened her mouth to communicate, the universe took it as an invitation to throw her into even worse situations that she had not asked for.Now sitting alone on the edge of her bed, she was still reeling in thoughts, wondering what the surprise was that Alejandro had for her. What were the chances that it was not the calm before the storm? She chuckled wearily at the thought that crossed through her head. As much as she wanted to wave it off as being too extreme, it w

Could they meet the next day? Elise's stomach dropped, like she had not read the content well. Alejandro’s phone was still in her hand and the name of the sender, Mariana was burning deep into her chest. It was not like it would have been a better offense if it was somebody else, but just maybe, it would have helped and made her feel less hurt. Just maybe, she would not have felt as low as she did at that moment. Every man in his right sense would fall for a girl like Mariana, and for their relationship to advance into a betrothal, then whatever she shared with Alejandro was deep.But what hurt the most in all of this was the ease in the text Mariana had sent. It could only mean that Alejandro had been in communication with her. What were the odds that he had not been meeting up with her under the guise of work?Why else would a woman who clearly knew he was married, and ‘he’ in the sense of the relationship they had shared text him that late for some private meeting? He definite

Seeing the food initially, she had thought that she would take just three spoons and bring up an attitude about why she didn’t want to eat. Instead, she cleared every single thing on the plate, and the only thing that kept her from asking for more was the fear of seeming like a glutton.Alejandro must have noticed because a knowing smirk tugged at his lips as she cleared everything. “I’ll take that as a thank you for making me eat,” he murmured, setting the empty dish aside.Elise stiffened. “I wasn’t that hungry, I just did not want to waste food” she muttered, turning her face away.“Sure you weren’t.” His deep chuckle made her feel uneasy and she almost began regretting why she had not kept up with the not wanting to eat act.Before she could muster a comeback, Alejandro shifted, guiding her to lean back against the headrest. She blinked in confusion as he reached for her foot, pulling it gently onto his lap.“What are you doing?” Elise probed, blinking as she tried to raise hersel

As soon as Alejandro scooped Elise into his arms, sweat beads began to form on her face. There was no way Alejandro was supposed to know that she was not sick, and had only faked it. If he did, then she was scared of the issue that could come out of it. But as the warmth of his body pressed against her, a strange weakness settled in her limbs, her head feeling heavier than before.Putting her shame aside, and left with no other option, she burst out in tears, surprising Alejandro and Diane.Thankfully, the rest of Alejandro’s men had gone away. A frown formed on his forehead as he looked at her. “What is the problem?” He probed as he dropped her down.Elise was still faking tears, and to her luck, her body cooperated as it began to color red. By this time, Alejandro was really worried. “Lily, please tell me what the issue is. You are making me scared.”She finally wiped her face after being convinced that she had gotten his attention enough. Even that small movement made her fingers

Back at the store, Diane twirled the shopping bag in her hand as she waited for Elise to return. She had picked a couple of clothes that she liked, and what was left was for Elise to pay as she promised. Undeniably, Elise had spent some time and it was already beginning to worry Diane. But she stayed put, lightly tapping the bag against her legs. A few more minutes and she would check for her. But before she counted to 10, the door of the dressing room opened and Elise stepped out. Contrasting how she had walked in, she looked dull. But Diane ignored it anyway and rushed to her. “Do you like the dress?” Immediately she reached her, she probed. Her lips were still curved in excitement as she waited for a response. Elise blinked, raising her face to her. “Huh?”“I mean, the one you went to try on.” “Right! The dress.” Her mind took a second to process the question and it was only then that she realized that she had not even come out of the room with it. “Umm…” she stuttered slowl

Elise felt her breath hitch. Her mind scrambled to process Lena’s words, but they settled like ice in her veins, causing her to feel numb.Murder? Clara had committed murder?Her fingers tightened against the fabric of her dress as her stomach twisted painfully. “What… what are you saying?” Lena watched her, unsure if she had done the right thing by informing her. “Clara committed murder,” she replied. “I saw it happen.”Elise shook her head, willing herself to think. Her memories of Clara were many things. Yes, it was bitter, frustrating, and even painful. She was always the daughter their parents prioritized and revered but murder? “It’s not possible. You are lying to me.” She forced out. “Clara… she can’t… you are lying.”“I would gain nothing if I lie about this to you. Your sister was young, and I know she did not understand the consequences of what she had done. But your parents understood it perfectly.”“I don’t understand. Tell me, how did everything happen?”“I’m not clear

Diane was practically buzzing with excitement as she helped Elise get ready. It was well known that she was always energetic and cheerful, but today there was an extra excitement to it that topped up the whole icing. “Ma’am, when I heard the talk about it, I was so so excited. It even made me jump out of bed.” “Mmm…” Elise smiled. “And the sweetest part, you are going shopping today. I think today is so blessed. Everything began to feel right from the day you sat in that garden.”She suddenly turned her face to Elise as if a realization had hit her. “Wow,” she mouthed. “Is something good happening in your horoscope? It feels like it.”“Okay, that’s enough.” Elise shook her head with a light chuckle. Quickly, Diane placed her hand on her lips. “I am sorry, I know I talk too much. I’m sorry, I will just prepare your bath.”“Yeah, you should.” Elise nodded. She enjoyed it when Diane talked, though it got uncomfortable for her a few times. Yet, she was grateful for Alejandro’s choice

Elise hesitated before speaking, fully aware that asking to leave the mansion would tip the fragile balance she and Alejandro had managed to establish. Still, she wanted to do it. Meeting Lena was important.Alejandro, who had just finished fastening the cuff of his sleeve, stilled. Before Elise woke up, he had already freshened up and dressed, knowing he had to be at the company’s building. His gaze moved toward her, blank.“You want to leave the mansion. Is there a problem?”Elise shook her head. “No.”“Where do you want to go to?”Alejandro had not outrightly refused, but it was as if Elise was expecting him to. Informing him was just a formality, a due process that she was trying to fulfill as she was always under his watch. But if he said no, she was going to switch to plan B, though she knew it would not help the small trust he was beginning to build in her.Her fingers fiddled with the sheets as she tried to cook up a lie. “I just wanted to shop for a bit. And I think I need th

The morning light from the sun’s rising barely entered through the curtains when Alejandro finally stood from his chair. The chair he had stayed on all night.He had not slept well and had not even tried. He had stayed by Elise’s side through the night, watching her and listening to the sound of her soft breathing to make sure she was okay.Now, as he moved his gaze down at her, he felt a strange pull in his chest. Her face was peaceful, and completely unbothered from everything that had happened the previous day.A part of him wished she could stay like that forever, not asleep exactly but without any problems and situations to make her sad. But he knew sadly well that once she woke up, real life would come rushing back. And maybe not in the most amazing way. Letting out a soft exhale, Alejandro quietly left the bedroom. He could not promise Elise the most amazing life or a problem-free life, but he could play the most part to keep her happy. Shaking his head, he confirmed his tho
