Elena POV
"Come on Mom,stop exaggerating things." I say as I get my self comfortable in the sit between the two.
"What are you mean?I am just doing what any mom is supposed to do ." she says in that voice that she usually does when she wantsvto get away of making me say something that she wants from me.
"Okay you win , mom ", I say in surrender. I smile at how funny she can be.What did I do to deserve this kind of Blessing.
" I decided to come and have break fast with you" Miles says his eyes not leaving me.
"I think I will get the table ready." Mom says standing up but I am fast to grab her hand gently .
"I can get it ready. You made every thing there I can do the serving" I tell her.
"No no my girl. It is okay.I will do it.You have always done it each day" she says as she leaves leaving us to our own. As soon as she disappears into the kitchen Miles turns looking at me.
"You seemed not happy to see me
Elena POV.I looked at myself in the mirror for almost a full hour admiring my self. Every time I remember the words that almost all members of my family used to talk. I want to shan then away and not believe any of them ever again.The black dress fits me so well protruding my wide hips something I know that hat my sisters envied me about. This is partly one of the reasons why I was always given those big dresses that hide my figure in it and therefore would not show any of my body.“Elena, Won't you get out ? I hear mom call me from the living room.“ Come on mom, I will be out soon.” I answer and I hear some chuckles making me nod my head in amusement.I apply a little lipstick making sure I look good.This is not my style but I want to look good in front of Brad. After making sure that everything is okay. I get my small hand bag getting out of the kitchen .“wawo!” mom says as soon as she sees me.&ldq
Elena POVAs soon as he pulled away , i felt frustrated. It is like I wanted to remain in that situation for ever.“ where are we going? ” I ask him hoping that what I have in my mind is what is going happen.“ Just be patient , we shall be there soon.”The rest of the ride was a quiet one. However there was tension that would be felt. I kept looking at him from time to time until we finally pulled up to a very nice looking building.He drove and packed in the park yard passing around and then coming to open for me.“ Thank you so much ” I said flashing him a smile . He instead leaned in giving me a soft kiss in the lips and then pulling away .“ The pleasure is mine building. ” he said as he held my hand leading us into the elevator. We went still hand in hand until when when the elevator pulled out then getting out towards the pent house.The interior is sophisticate
Miles POVI look at her as she falls asleep peacefully in my arms . I have tried so much so far to have her forget every thing that happened to her life. I know she has not had a good child hood but I know it is more than that. She has not yet told me every thing but I will wait until when she is ready to tell me.I remove a strand of hair from her face admiring how beautiful she is . Even though she looks so strained out she is still beautiful. I carry her carefully making sure she doesn't wake up leading her through and carefully lie her down on the bed. I cover her with only a bedsheet since it is in the afternoon and therefore there is no need for me to cover her with a bedcover.I sit besides on the bed admiring how beautiful she is .I admire her for some time before I decide to head through and cook some thing so that by the time she gets up she will have some thing to eat.I head to the kitchen contradicting about what to cook. I settle for scrambl
Elena POVI felt like a big weight had been lifed off my chest. You know every time you have a problem and you tell it out to some one else you fee like a weight has been lifted off your chest. However at the same time I felt so shy and had no idea how I was going to face him after being seen crying over and over the whole of yesterday.I woke up a bit early the next day. It being a Monday it meant going to work plus I had to make sure I do all the house work so that myim can not be pressured when she wakes up. And also make sure that the food is ready so that she takes her medicines on time.I got out of bed seeing my morning pray, making my bed and then heading outside towards the kitchen . As soon as I get to the kitchen, my phone goes making me get it quickly wondering who would be calling me at this time of the day.“ Good morning beautiful. ” I hear his husky but sweet voice as soon as I put the phone at my ear.&ldquo
ELENA POVWhen we reached at his penthouse. He called for his driver who went and got me a new pair of pants, and a dress which meant that everything that I put on was far different from what I had on when I left my house that morning.I took a shower and after wards we headed to the hospital. We were about two hours late at work but Miles told me to calm down since he didn't have any pending work the whole morning and so if he doesn't have any work to do so it means I don't have as well. He parked in the hospital parking space .Just as I am going to open the door, he pulls my hand facing him immediately taking me by surprise.“ I have something to show you later. Don't go home before me.” he tells me .Of course I would go home and not mind about the fact he is now my boyfriend .“ okay .” i answer single wordedly.“ Good girl .” he replies giving me a small kiss on my lips ant then pull away. This time I don't l
Elena POVI tried to pull Miles away to one side but he is literary so strong and therefore I cannot do anything about it.I looked at Brad down and he is a bit hurt. I don't know what to do. The last thing that I want to do in this life is to see brothers “ kill” themselves and me being the cause. One man is the love of my life and another is a friend of mine. Actually among the few Friends that I have managed to get from the time I came here.“ I have told you numerous times to stay away from here but you never listen.” Miles says angrily to his brother who is lying down on the floor with a bleeding nose.“ Come on Miles can't you see that your belt is bleeding.” I say to Miles but far away from where he is. By just the look on his face, you can see that he is really furious.“ For you all you have to do is to shut up. ” he says angrily to me.“ it is like you are just combining the two
Elena POV.I stand up and then sit down . I am just damn confused with what to do. I don't know if Brad is okay and then if Miles is at all cooled down. It would be so good to me since I am about to due to the fact that I have so much on my mind at the moment.I decide to move heading to the direction of the ward where Brad has been admitted. I want to see if this is done once and for all so that I can rest at heart.“ Doctor, how is Doctor Brad ?” I ask a doctor at the door as soon as I reach at the supposed ward.“ He is currently out of danger but if he had not been rushed in time, then it would not be good. ” the doctor explains to me and I listen on carefully.“ Can I go in and check on him ?” I ask hoping he can.“ I don't think that would be a good idea .” he says seemingl worried.“ Why do you say so?” I ask him curious.“ The madam, I mean his mother is
Elena POVI knew trouble had come and it was a big thing that I have to deal with. I have faced many problems in my life but I had no idea it was going to get to the extent of the mother of the man I love treating me in the way she has treated me. What am wondering is her sudden reaction towards me yet she has just seen me.Okay even if it is to do with how she got me with Brad that time she came in, she would not go an extra mile to treat me and talk to me the way she did back in the ward. It is like we have had some kind of grudge yet the actual thing is that I have just met her today. I just think it is my destiny to always be treated harshly by almost every one that I came across.After that incident, I make sure that I do all the work that I am supposed to do but making sure that I gnore all the three .That is Brad, Miles and their mother .Yes I am in love with Miles but I don't want to be the cause of their misunderstanding. I don't wish for any one to pass throug

That is Miles when it comes to his sleep. He used to laugh at me that I sleep a lot but it is like things turned around.“ I think I should call the events manager to tell him that the guest of honour will not come since he is still sleeping. ” I say sarcastically . That is all he needs and the next thing I know is him getting out if bed.He moves coming next to where I am getting ready ready from in the mirror .“ wow! I have such a gorgeous wife ” he says rapping his hands around my waist and then resting his chin on my shoulder.“ come one , you are distracting me. I need t
Elena povI knew Miles would react in such a manner. This is how he has always told me. He said that he would not leave all those who tortured me.“ I have asked you a damn question?" He repeats the question this time more furious than the first time.“ you need to calm down. ” I whisper to him as I take his hand into mine to comfort him.“ No Elena'These people have to pay for giving you the most terrific life growing up” he says looking more seriously each time.“ I know I have done a lot, but I want to tell the fact that I regret every bit of it .It is like the death of my children and husband has been a way of phishing us by God for all that we have done to her” she says pointing at me .“ But do you even have the slightest idea about how you people abused her in all aspects of life. You made her life a living heal. My heart bleeds for her every time that I remember the tortur
Elena POV“ I don't want to wake up ” I groan as I hear Miles wakes me up.“ No no , you need to wake up. ” he says not going away. This is how he has been for the last two weeks since mom died. He comes every evening and spends the night with me.“ I just need to sleep more after all I am not going to work.” I say putting the blanket over my head“ Don't forget you have to go to school. You are having your exams this week.” he says and that is when I remember.“ Shit!” I get out of my bed in a panic mood . I had forgotten about that already. Even if I lost my mom, school didn't stop. Miles insisted that I stop working so that I can get to my right mood.Miles insisted that I live with him and of course I didn't allow that. I want things to be done in the right way.“ I thought you were still enjoying your sleep ” he says looking at m
Elena pov“ where am I ?” I ask as I try to open my eyes but I feel so weak. However I finally manage to open my eyes. Damn it! I am a hospital. How did I get here? I wonder as I try to sit up but I am so weak.“ I can do that ” I hear a familiar voice making me look up. There is Naomi sitting on the sit in the corner of the ward.“ what am I doing here ?” I ask curiously as she tries to help me sit with a pillow support me on my back.“ How did I get here? ” I ask losing the cool that I have since she is not answering me at all.“ why are you not saying anything ” I say as I shake her so impatient.“ Just calm down, you are not okay. You don't need to get so restless ” she says as she sits next to me.“ why is it that I don't remember anything that happened and how I got here ” I say crying as tears flow down my cheeks.“ Just relax
Elena POVI hardly had any sleep last night. My mind can't help but think about that encounter with Alexis. Why did she have to come in that damn place. Wasnt there enough other places where she would have gone to have her meal. Why did she have to come in the same place as me. I have tried all possible ways the last several months to forget all that happened to me with my real family who we're meant to protect me but instead they did otherwiseI have gone for several therapy sessions in the past and they have indeed helped me. I have begun moving on and the this happens. What did I really do to deserve this.I try as much as I can to sleep since the flowing day is a Monday and it is always the busiest day of the week with so many patients. I think people get so many problems over the weekend due to the too much partying.I wake up a bit early don't wanting to disturb mom. I sit beside her on the bed admiring the woman before me. She loves so peaceful whe
Elena POVFrom the time we had that talk at the local restaurant, I swear I grew more stronger and ready to fight for what we had been the two of us. It is now two weeks since then . From that day, I have not seen or talked to Juliana. I don't know if her son talked to her . I remember she had promised to make my life a living hell so that I can go away.However it is strange since she has not talked to me again. I do my work at the hospital during the day and go for my studies in the evening. It is hectic but it is moving on well so far good for me.“ maybe you should quite work and concentrate on your studies.” mom says to me one evening when she sees me streesed one evening.“ Come in mom, are you really serious with what you are saying. How are we going to be able to pay the bails.”i reply.“ Oh, I had forgotten about that already. You know I am just concerned about you. You hardly have any sleep. Maybe I should al
Miles POVI was the happiest man as she cuddled in my arms in the late hours of the night. I just wanted us to be like this for ever. For sure I didn't know how she would be like after how mom treated her. It is clear she never liked her and she didn't dare hide it. Throughout the dinner mom did all she did and her plan was to humiliate Elena..I would see all that she did. I had nothing to do since she is my my mother and the other is a girl that I love so much. All that I want is for them to get along but not to have disagreements.The moment I got from taking Ashley, there was only one thing that was on my mind. It was to go and see how Elena was doing after the humiliation from mom.Am so happy things went on as wanted them to go. We talked heart to heart .Not including any one in our talk but just the two of us. No one else mattered at the momentWhen I talked about marriage and having kids . I know she partly thought that I was joking b
Elena POVI looked on as Ingrid told me the little she knew about Juliana. But even before her telling me anything, I already got to know her more than I can even imagine.But why would a mother even interfere in their children's life partners. More so when that child is old enough to know what to do.“ Elena, don't be weak. I can see that the two if you love each other. Go ahead and fight for your love ” she teslls me one more time and then she moves out back to the dinner so that we are not suspected at all .I know the kind of life that I am going through is not the best so far bit I cannot help but fight for the only man that I have ever loved .I decide to dry my face so that when I go back no one will suspect that I have been crying all the time.“ where have you been ?” Juliana asks as soon as I seat down . Damn it ! Is this woman being rational at all. Am I supposed to be watched as if I were a young chi
Elena POV“ You don't need to tight mark you. I am all yours .” Miles says with a smile as we get in the house .How I wish he knes why I am like this. Then he would not be making any jokes at such a time.“ I want to be certain.”i say deciding to play a long with him. We then get into the house .If I was saying that outside was gorgeous, it is like I was mistaken. Inside is something else.Everything is so sophiscated and luxurious. For sure given the kind of Riches that my parents had, it is not even a quarter to what I see here. For one time I don't blame the woman for being insecure with his son. If just the house has all this, then all the investments that they have..They are stinking rich if i can say.“ Mom, dad.” Miles says as we sink deep into the living room my heart beginning to race even more at the thought that they are coming out very soon.“ My son.” I hear his mother say fro
