Elena POV
"What did you just say?" he says his brows low, his frown deeper than before "It's something to be happy about Honey," I say walking forward, trying my best to convince him. "Don't call me that!!, I've told you before" he shouts, calming down once he realizes we are in his office, he paces the room, mumbling words to himself in anger. "I don't know why you're not ready to have kids, this is a blessing Daemon" I place my hands on my belly walking forward but his harsh eyes halt me in my tracks. "Shut up!!, I told you we will only have kids till you sign over your shares at Royal Inc. to me, I am your husband and I deserve to take care of those shares for you, it's the single thing, I've asked you to do, and you've been unable to for years!!" he shouts turning away and seating on his seat, spinning to the side, his fingers under his chin. "I would if I could, but the shares have a clause, must only be of the Royal blood, I have to get permission from Grandpa and he won't do it" I explain for the millionth time. "Daemon this baby is good for us, now our family has an heir, from me and you," I say trying to come closer. "Go home Elena, we will discuss this at home," he says turning his seat away, facing the huge library of books. I nod, turning away, feeling my shoulders fall, it's not the first time, I've fallen pregnant, it happened once in my Senior year, we were young and in love and we automatically started having sex without protection, leading to me falling pregnant, he took me to some dodgy hospital and we got it done, the baby was dead. The second time was in college, my 4th year, this time I wanted to fight him, I knew we were going to get married considering how long we dated and how serious Daemon was, so I fought it out with him, almost told my grandfather, but he had just started his career, and I was still in school, so we took it out. This was the third time, "We are married there's no way he will make me feel that pain again" I whisper to myself while I walk out of the office I reach the elevator when I realize my purse is missing, I frown remembering I placed it on his side table when I walked in. I walk back to the door, the door still slightly open from how I left it, I notice his Secretary is missing, and I frown hoping it's not what I think it is. Slowly sticking my head through the door silently, I see only one person, Daemon, with one hand in the pocket of his trousers, the other on his phone, his voice filling the room. "The bitch is pregnant," he says, keeping quiet after he says it as if to listen to who is on the other line Goosebumps cover my skin, is he speaking about me? "I know, I promised not to touch her baby, but she forced me I swear," he says, causing tears to fill my eyes, William was right, he is cheating on me "We need to find a way to get rid of her and take over her grand-father properties, I've been patient too long," he says causing me to gasp. He turns around, his eyes meeting with mine in shock, "Elena" he whispers slowly Tears rolling down my face, anger apparent on my face, I turn around quickly, I need to run far away from this man, all this time, he has been playing me, just to get my family fortune, I get blinded by anger walking towards the almost closing elevator, I slip inside watching him chase behind me as the elevator doors close shut. My eyes sting with tears, my heart breaking into pieces, memories from all the love we shared, the times we had, running through my mind, I quickly walk out of the elevator the doors opening, I walk out of the building, my car stopping in front of me, right on time, I turn around expecting Daemon to be behind me, begging, asking for an apology, Nothing. I pull the door open, settling inside the car, the tears I've been holding completely pour out as I start to wail, the driver says noting starting the drive, I can't believe I trusted him, I trusted him with my life, I stopped working at my father's company thanks to him, I became his pretty housewife because he wanted to, I let him use my cards, have access to my money, and I almost gave him my shares, only for him to betray me, to love another woman and even make promises to her. The tears fill my eyes but fury fills my veins more, I turn to the road, the car about to pass into a bridge when a black car fills my vision, "Be careful!!" I scream before my world goes dark.Elena's POVBeep.Beep.Beep, the sound fills my ears, my head drumming badly, and my, eyes squint open, immediately shocking me as the blinding sun from the window blocks my vision.The machines strapped to me, continue to make louder sounds, making two women in scrubs rush in, followed by a man in a white coat."Who-' are'" I say my throat dry, my speech coming out as a groan."We are here to help you dear" One of the nurses comes to my side, with a cup of water in hand, she hands it to me helping me gulp down the water relatively fast."More?" she asks turning to me, her image becoming clearer"Who are you? Where am I?" and I turn around looking at the people around me, my mind blank of memory, "Who am I" I say to them and immediately, murmurs fill the room, they quickly monitor my chart, looking confused"Hello?" Is anyone going to answer me?"I frown trying to raise my body but I feel droopy immediately plastering myself on the bed back.One of the nurses is first to speak, "You are
ELENA POVThe drive to the city is quiet, I turn to the window, blinding lights filling my eyes."You don't have to answer now Elena, I trust nobody with this contract but you, it's really urgent, if I don't marry in a few days, I will lose my grandfather's inheritance to my cousin, and he will misuse it, my family will be on the streets" he frowns deeply, his voice deep and convincing.I frown, pursing my lips, my eyes narrowed at him, "Alex, I don't really know, I just met you, I hardly remember who I am, I can't just marry you" I shake my head confused, my previous erotic thoughts of him wiping from my memory, this man just shocked me with his proposal.He nods the car coming to a stop in front of a hotel, "Here we are, let's get you settled in" he leads me out of the car, the top of the hotel says D'luxury.Soon I'm settled in a hotel room, Alexander leaning on the chair opposite me. "I'm going to give you a few hours to think about my offer, if you agree, we will get married at a
Alexander POV"Look at you Alex, finally being a man huh?" Reed my cousin laughs deeply from across me"I'm not speaking to you Reed, I'm speaking to the lawyer" I turn away from him, "Mr. Chambers, give me a few more days, and my wife will be present right here, we are very happy together," I say gritting my teeth."I understand you Alex, but your grand-father was clear with his will, if you are not married to a woman you love wholeheartedly and confirmed by I and your mother, the property as well as the Bianchi Cartel will all be transferred to your cousin Reed, who is already married with an heir" he sighs, "I can't do anything about it unless you provide one in five days""Could be magic, Alex can't seem to keep a woman around him for long, they always run away screaming" Reed laughs deeply"The Bianchi Cartel has been flourishing under my rule this entire time, Reed will run it into the ground, The mafia is something we need to handle delicately, Mr. Chambers, you know that"Reed
CHAPTER SIXAlexander POVI catch her in my arms before she falls face flat on the floor, “Elena, wake up” I tap her shoulders, the driver pulling the door open“We will get you to the hospital in no time,” I tell her unmoving body, the elevator door pings as a man walks in, closing it as we drive away, we are almost at the hospital when her groggy voice fills my ears.“What, what's happening” she stammers, her eyes pulling open, rubbing her head as I try to help her up.“Are you okay Elena?” my fingers grab her chin, my face close to hers“I’m fine I think” she backs away, “what happened? Where are we going?”“You fainted,” I say as the car comes to a stop in front of the hospitalShe frowns “Yeah, everything turned white and I just fell” she winches turning to the hospital building “I don't want to go there” She turns to me eyes wide in panic.“That's fine, but you need to rest” I make her comfortable, my forehead scrunched in worry.“The wedding, we still have to do it” She rises
ELENA POV“Bianchi cartel?” I say shocked “Cartel, what do you mean cartel?” “Drango, stop the car and step outside,” he tells the driver and immediately in front of some house, the car comes to a stop and he pulls the door open head in G outside in a flash.“What's happening? Why did he have to step out?” I turn to him a deep frown on my face to express my worry.“My family, we are not as simple as we turn out to be, I’m Alexander Binachi and I am the Don of the Mafua group Red Fang, the Binachi cartel” he pauses “My family started it years back and my marriage to you today, solidifies my inheritance and my claim as the Don”“And this is why we had to rush the wedding so fast?” shock courses through me, “have you.. have you killed someone?” I whisper leaning forward, interested in what his reply would be.His eyes fill with concern but he nods, “Yes, but I promise this to you Elena you will be safe forever in my care, even after the marriage contract ends, you will be highly protect
Elena POV"Elena wait," William says to me, grabbing my wrist in his delicate hold, the smell of hospital detergents filling my nose"Stand here and do what exactly William?" I raise a brow at him, facing him squarely pulling my hand from his hold.William, my husband's brother, one of the wealthiest men in the city, brought me to the hospital as I was feeling unwell, being married to his brother, he had brought me here more than Dameon my husband had, so it was natural.I was directed to the Antenatal ward with news of my pregnancy, it was a miracle, Daemon and I had hardly shared a bed in the one year of marriage, he only touched me on the days he was drunk, but he had told me it was because he had developed a medical condition after college due to age and revealing it to the world would be embarrassing for him, so we kept this information to ourselves but standing here now in the lobby of the hospital and William breaking such news to me is shocking, it's a simple lie."You know I
