011: They were kissing

Elena“Elena, dear, it’s so good to see you.” As soon as I stepped through the door, Uncle Simpson’s exaggerated reaction alerted everyone to my arrival. He looked much more relaxed, as compared to how I met him five days ago. Standing before my father-in-law right now, I felt guilty for not visiting him since we left the hospital. “Uncle, I’m so sorry for not coming to see you all…” I was about to say more when he beat me to it. “Come on, Elena. Why must you be so hard on yourself? You’ve brought me flowers every single day I spent in this hospital. Who cares if you couldn’t be here for only two days?” What? Me? Flowers? When did I send him the flowers, and how did I only leave out two days? This man! He was clearly lying with such a straight face. Even I wouldn’t have detected the lie, if I didn’t know better. “Come over here, my child. Don’t just stand there.” Uncle Simpson held my hand tenderly, unconsciously taking my mind to how my father used to hold my hands. “Don’t be too

012: You make me sick, Ronan

Elena“Ronan, what is happening there?” Uncle Simpson probed, his face ashen with shock. He was speechless at the scene on our screen, just like I was. Haven't I cried enough? Haven't I complained enough? Haven't I loved my husband enough? What was it about Darcy that I could never surpass? “Ronan Simpson, I am talking to you!” Uncle growled in a suppressed voice, gritting his teeth. I could see he was doing everything possible to control his anger. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Dad, it's nothing. No need to get yourself worked up. It’s not what you think.” Ronan spoke in a terrifyingly calm tone. I felt like a block of wood that Ronan had absolutely no regard for. “Are you listening to yourself? Ronan, do you think having women swoon over you is what makes you a man?” Uncle still suppressed his anger a bit, but when Ronan didn’t respond, he became more forceful. “I've been with your mother for more than thirty years, Ronan. In all those years, I have never looked

013: I need some time with my wife

RonanI was excited to finally see my father being his former cheerful self. Even though he ignored mom and I, we couldn’t blame him too much. No one could touch his dear Elena, after all. I always wished Elena could be as truthful to my father as he was with her. He loved her more than his own son, but Elena never saw beyond her schemes and ploys. Dad truly deserves someone better to dote on than her. Sometimes, I wonder what her true face looked like, because I couldn’t tell who Elena was anymore. I watched her grow up, and I thought I knew her, but I didn’t. The Elena Jones I grew up with would never have done all the despicable things she did and still paraded herself around like an angel. I couldn’t explain it, but I wondered if she got hurt in the wrist. I noticed how badly she tried to hide the pain, but Dad wouldn’t allow me to touch the wheel chair. To top it all off, he only wanted to be with Elena, and he just had to praise my wife for being beautiful. It was a good thin

014: Just be yourself

Elena“Dad, do you know I was so scared back there? Why would you do that to us?” I was standing in front of my father-in-law, my arms crossed in front of my chest. I could tell something was amidst, but it took me a white to understand what it really was. “What? Sweetheart, desperate times require desperate measures.” How could he say such words so easily? Ronan thought I was a manipulative person who always cooked up stories to win his father over. How would he feel if he found out that the stunt Uncle pulled in there was all fake? “Calm down, Elena. You are my daughter, and I would do anything to protect you.” I could feel the sincerity in Uncle’s words, but my mind was already wandering everywhere. This wasn’t supposed to be what marriage looked like. It was supposed to be a union of two loving people who would do anything for each other-like Uncle and Auntie. “I don’t want to be desperate, Uncle. I thought of a happy home with Ronan. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with

015: Conflicted emotions

ElenaOur drive back home was relatively quiet, and I couldn’t look for the right words to speak. Ronan didn’t try to speak to me either. However, Uncle’s words kept ringing in my mind, and I couldn’t believe how silly I have been all these years. While trying to be the perfect wife, I lost myself in the process. Now, I would ignore everything Ronan did to me and try to make my marriage work while being true to myself. There was no need to be somebody else that I wasn’t. To please the man who’s heart was set on another, I became cowardly, someone who agreed to Ronan’s every word, and would never question him, not even when I was suspicious of his deeds. I was the meek and dutiful wife who never raised my voice to my husband. In short, Ronan’s wish has been my command. I literally worshipped the ground on which he stepped, all because I hoped to make his heart beat towards me. I guess I enede up shooting myself in the foot because Ronan didn’t even like meek girls who didn’t have op

016: I love you too, Darcy

RonanIt was in the spur of the moment that I promised Dad that I would not divorce Elena. Now that we were alone, I didn’t know what to say or feel anymore. I couldn’t think of anything to start a conversation because I felt I had to explain my kiss with Darcy.However, Elena didn’t ask me anything about it. I guess she felt it meant nothing since she also cheated on me with that David guy. The difference between us here was that I didn’t cheat on her as she thought. I hurried into the shower as soon as we reached the bedroom, but nothing prepared me for the sight I met when I emerged from the bathroom. Elena removed her clothes and was only left in her underwear. I met her throwing her clothes into the laundry basket just now. I expected her to avert her gaze and try to cover herself like she always did, but there was no movement. She just stood there like the temptress that she was, making me question everything I ever believed. It has been a long time since I saw my wife like th

017: Darcy's gift

ElenaWhat did I just do? This is so embarrassing! I threw myself at Ronan, but he didn’t even flinch. I understand I had an effect on him, but his heart still belonged to another. Uncle, you said Ronan loved me, but just didn’t realize it yet. I knew it was just my wishful thinking to agree with you, but could I just feel his love for once before I died?Since I was embarrassed at the stunt I pulled just now, I couldn’t face Ronan anymore. His whole stance changed when Darcy’s call came through. How could I hope to be with someone clearly telling another woman he loved her? He didn’t even consider my feelings. I don’t know how I bathed till the water in the tub went cold. Only then did I realise I had been in there for too long. When I stepped out, Ronan was no longer in the room. Thinking back to what happened just now, my mind was cast back to my mobile phone that Benson kept in my bedside drawer. There were a few messages when I switched it on. I also had some voice notes fro

018: A bottom line she couldn’t cross

RonanI hesitated to respond to Darcy that I loved her, but she understood my circumstances. She didn't question me a single bit but offered to speak with me the next day when I was free. Darcy didn't throw a tantrum, and she didn't make a fuss. I loved that about her, and I wished with everything within me that I could marry her and have her in my arms every day. I wanted the whole world to know she was my woman, but because of Elena, I couldn't do it. I had to put my life on hold, or better still, put it aside and be with Elena. It was what made my father happy, and I wouldn't question him any more. As long as he continued to recover, I could keep up this facade for his sake. I needed to sort out a few things in my study, so I left to tackle them. The more reason I left was because I didn't intend to stay in the room when Elena got out of the shower. I wasn't ready to be tempted by her body anymore. It was about thirty minutes when I returned. I expected her to lie down and try to

019: Back to the hospital

Elena I cried myself to sleep last night, unable to understand what happened. I know Ronan has always been biased toward Darcy, but last night was a new level I couldn’t fathom. Darcy sent those thugs to assault me. She targeted my baby—our baby—but my husband only cared about protecting her. He wouldn’t believe me, no matter what I said. I felt a throbbing pain in my wrist throughout the night, but I didn’t have anyone to call for help. I couldn’t even pinpoint when I went to sleep. Waking up this morning, I felt pain all over my arm. It felt worse than it was yesterday. I finally managed to get out of bed with so much difficulty, yet the main problem was getting myself out of these clothes, freshening up, and getting to the hospital. My arm has already swelled up from my wrist upwards. I sucked in a painful breath when I tried to get out of my nightgown. I couldn’t lift my right arm- talk less of raising it above my head, so I opted to cut the dress. I was finally free when it f

020: Caught again

Elena“Harold, I have a lot going on in my life right now. There’s no need to stress my husband over this. It’s just a fracture, right?” How could I allow Harold to involve Ronan, when he was the same person who put me in this situation? If anyone had told me Ronan could be this cruel to me, I would have denied it with my life. Now…“We need to keep you here for a while. You’d be under observation for the next few hours. Elena, if you get better, you’d go home by this evening. If not…” I had no strength in me to argue with Harold.I would protect this child with my life, even if I had to spend the next few months in the hospital-my baby must be born. Just like that, I was on admission, and the nurses came to take my vitals now and then. I slept most of the time, and when I finally woke up around 7:00 p.m, David was with me. My heart skipped a few beats when I cast my mind back to how Ronan accused me of having an affair with him. This man has been protecting me from the shadows.
