Elena Pov.
I sat on Vince's bed not knowing what exactly to do or think any more. I have been sitting here for the last number of hours since I found out about the death of Vincent. I didn't give a damn any more about other people in the house could say. Even if it meant insulting me like they usually do, I don't care any more.
I was holding a photo of Vincent that is always on the side of his bed. With that smile that never left his face. The most jolly person that I know.
I cannot help but imagine about how my Vincent perished in that damn accident. It is said the cab he was riding in got into an accident that didn't leave him( Vincent ) and the driver . He was only a few meters to the hospital where he had done his internship.
How I wish I was there to give him one more hug..at least the last hug until we meet again. How could I not. If it was not for that Lance who tried to rape me , he could perhaps be alive. Tears roll down my eyes as I think and regret about all that has happened.
" Open up!" I hear mom roar while banging on the door .She has always forbidden me from coming in here...but I don't care about anything at this point.
I ignored her anger and continued embracing the photo of my guardian Angel . The only of my family members who has loved me unconditionally. One who has loved like I deserve to be loved. I had lost my only jewelry and the rest didn't matter to me. It meant nothing to me now.
" Open up my baby's bedroom " mom shouted again. I know she is not feigning it now. Both mom and dad have always loved Vincent best .they love him most and the two never hide it from any of us.
I slowly with my painful legs moved towards the door opening up still with Vince's picture embraced tightly at my heart. I was not going to let anyone take it from me since they were not going to remain with anything else of Vince. So this was my remembrance
" what are you doing in my son's bedroom? " mom who is already crying says as she pushes me to one side heading into the bedroom. She moves onto the bed willing so much. I look at her feeling pity . I know for the first time we are having the same problem . I look at her for some time and decide to go near her hesitating at first but then move towards her holding her hand .
" it will be okay mom" I say softly yo her. The way she is crying, I am sure she will get a serious headache at the end of the day.
After some time of comforting her , she is able to keep quiet.
The rest of the day, there was a somber mood at home. So sad. Every one for the first time seemed to be annoyed. This is too much.
Every one was minding their own business .No one cared to torture me the way they did. I just was not myself . I cried yo an extent that I could not cry any more.I was able to keep the photo of Vincent together with the letter that he had written to me this very morning. I wondered how this life can be. You never expect what is going to happen to you. I kept thinking about how my life is going to be from now on. Without Vincent, I just don't know what awaits me.
The following day, there were many people who came to carry out the vigil . Vincent's body was brought by the funeral services. For the first time, I was not meant to do so much work, there were many of our relatives who came by to do all the work.
I was a walking zombie the whole of the day. Vincent was finally laid to rest in the family graveyard in the ranch. I cried at the thought of not seeing him again.
To make matters worse, the next days that followed, Vincent's bedroom was cleared of all that belonged to him packing every thing in boxes . This was a signal that he was gone for gone. I knew that all the dreams I thought that one day I could go away from here, it was not going to happen. I was going to live like this the rest of my life.

Hello good people
Good morning to you all. Thanks so much for reading my books. I promise to make it as possible as I can.
I hope that I am able to have this book signed soon.
Elena pov.Have you ever lost some one that you love most in your life? Have you ever lost some one that was the only hope that you have in your life ? Those eyes ho have been in such a situation can relate under which situation that I am in right now. You feel like you equally want to die and get out of this world once and for all.The next few days after the death of Vincent were the hardest that I have ever experienced in my whole life. I was just a walking zombie. Mom had shifted all her depression of losing her favorite son towards me who was already depressed my self.She was so hard on Me. She abuses me every time. Reminding me that I am useless in the world and she wishes it was me who was dead instead of her son. Yes, she was depressed but how could she hope that maybe it was me who had died instead of her son. I used to shed tears of how every one treats me in addition to losing my only hope that I had in my life." You u
Elena pov. I could feel like I was tearing out. Everything felt so disgusting. He was using the whole force onto me.I don't know but it felt like he was punishing me. I would feel his sweat and then I felt his liquid flowing into me and that is the last I knew before I lost my consciousness. I would see Vincent beckoning me-wait then I saw another Vincent , one was beckoning me to go near him while the other was telling me to go way. I looked so confused one telling me to go near while the other was pushing me away. It was losing all the energy that I had left. I tried moving from side to side each one of them pulling me from one side ..then I could hear some voices . I tried as much as I could to open my eyes but it was so hard for me .Then I started feeling general body weakness. My whole body was hurting me. Slowly by slowly the voices begin reducing. Then I finally opened my eyes .This place seemed so new. I have never seen this place in my whole life.
Elena povDay by day went by and I was improving rapidly. Still I couldn't believe the fact that no one from home had dared to look for me. Perhaps putting up an announcement in the newspapers or over the televisions and radios as well as the different platforms. I felt so disappointed and hated myself for being born like this. Maybe of it was under a different circumstances or situation, my parents could love me.It was so hard but I came to believe that they had maybe even had this intention to see that I get away from them.it worked. However it has been two weeks since I came e. I have never felt this comfortable and relaxed my whole life. Despite the poverty that we were living in right now, I was more than happy compared to how I was my whole life at home. I had no idea there were people who were do kindhearted."Good morning dear " she says to me one morning bringing me from my thoughts in which I was stuck in."Ehmmm..Good morning mam " I greet her
Elena povTo say that I was eager is an understatement. I was so happy and excited that I was finally going to work and able to provide for the woman who has been there for me when no one even cared about me. She was there when everyone else saw me as a complete nobody.We had finally moved to the city. Just a ten minute walk from where I was to work.we got a better apartment though not expensive.. Just comfortable and sure it will be in my salary range of USD 500. To some extent I thought this was pure luck for me to get such ajob. Though life is kind of expensive here, we will be able to survive alongside provide for my sick mom."Did you even have any sleep last night ?" Mom says as she goes through finding me in the kitchen preparing breakfast."I just could not contain my happiness mom" I say as I turn to give her a sudden hug taking her by surprise. I have grown so fond of this woman the last couple of months."Oh my God, El
Elena povMy hands started shivering at the thought that there is someone watching. I was panickingly trying the collect the small pieces of the broken vessels. However much I tried to gain composure, I just couldn't. I was so scared at the moment."What the hell is happening here!" A thunder voice suddenly come which made me even more sacred meeting the most beautiful green eyes that I have ever met or seen in my life. As soon as I looked at him, I got drawn into them. My hands then travelled down satires to his body. It was evident that he is a man of the gym.His six rather eight packs can be traced through the his suit. I am just stuck into him forgetting all that is happening right now."Didn't you hear what I just asked you ?" He asks me this time in a more hoars voice than the recent . This shakes me so hard from what ever am thinking about...what am I even thinking about ."What..I mean how can I help you ?" I ask him panickingly. I j
Elena pov The less the steps got to the office is the more nervous I got. I had promised myself to be as careful as I could to see that I keep my job for some time. Little did I know that I was going to fucking do this on the first day. To make matters worse messing up with the most important person in the hospital. I put all the worry aside and thought about the few people who really believed in me. I didn't have to let them down. They didn't deserve that. Vincent, he always encouraged me never to give up in this life. Then came Mrs Madison, I owe that woman my life , she has been there the most times when no one really cared. The few months I have been with her, she has shown me too much love that I was not even able to get from my real parents and siblings. Then Naomi, she is a girl that I have met only a few hours a go but she didn't judge me like what the rest used to do. She believed in me first time. So with all this, I had to go back and get this job back. It
Elena povThrough out the whole night. I was thinking about all the possible things that I could do to see that I don't cause trouble to myself ever again. I still cannot believe why I will never be able to satisfy people around me. It was so unlucky for me.The following day, I woke up abit early than I did yesterday. This I will be to get to work and by the time my boss gets at work, he will not have anything to say against me. I first of all started with preparing breakfast so that when mom wakes up, she will have Every thing for her.The fact us she is becoming more and more weak every day. She needed to get better medical service but Monet was still the problem. I thought of asking for an advance at work but I am even sacred since I have worked there for only one day and as of that is not enough, I have already caused trouble to the boss. That meant trouble with a capital t.They had told us that one can be offered working two shifts and that means g
Elena povI insisted to get out of car even when the " boss" insisted that I wait for the driver to open the door for me. You will not believe it but we hardly had talked ten words to each other. I think he is some one who doesn't talk much . I think it is better that way. I was just praying that we get to the hospital and here we are." Have a nice day , Dear " John says to me. You won't believe it but we didn't even exchange names.***" Hey, good morning " I see Naomi also leaving a cab."Hello, Good morning Naomi " I answer her."Was that your boyfriend ?" She asks . I am confused at first and don't know what to say." what do you mean? " I ask acting like I don't know what she means." don't act all innocent, I know that you might be just shy " she says and gives out a laugh."Okay, the thing is they just offered me a ride " I say hoping that she changes the topic. I am tired of this topic.

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
