Chapter 8: This is It
Elena’s P.O.V:
The second his lips touched mine, all thoughts vanished and electricity poured into my veins.
One of Knight’s hands were fisted in my hair while the other was around my waist, molding me to his body. For an instant, I forgot everything around me. The only thing running through my mind as he parted my lips to put his tongue inside my mouth, was that this felt right. A sense of belonging washed over me, a sudden peacefulness that had been absent in my life for…for the past three months…
I wrenched myself back from the kiss and at the same time pushed him back with all the strength I had. It was only when I tasted the iron in my mouth that I noticed that I’d bitten his tongue hard enough to draw blood. Good. It was a very small price to pay for everything he did to me.
Knight stumbled back, his eyes wide as he looked at me as if he was still in a daz

Chapter 9: RevelationKnight’s P.O.V:I watched over Elena for the rest of the evening. She was dazzling onstage. Everyone seemed to be enchanted by her; the staff, the judges and even the students. She walked the stage like she owned it, yet, her face radiant, her skin glowing. I even saw a few of the male teachers looking at her with interest.I curled my hands into fists. No one was getting near her on my watch! Elaine might think that the conversation we had was enough to drive me away, but it wasn’t. Now I knew she wasn’t responsible for that photograph and it just made me want her even more. And I wanted her back in my life, in my bed, by any means possible.Elaine walked another round on the stage and then she turned back, disappearing behind the stage. I knew this was supposed to be a break for her so the students could ask her tips and get ready for their walk. I took the opportunity to get up f

Chapter 10: Unconventional DemandsElena’s P.O.V:“Marry me, Elena.”I stared at the man in bewilderment. Did he really just say what I think he just said? Did he just ask me to marry him? Right out of the blue?“Are you out of your mind!” I yelled at him, rising from the chair and backing away from him as far as I could. “We don’t even know each other!”“We don’t need to,” he had the audacity of saying as he too rose from the ground and stood facing me. “That’s my child you’re carrying, Elena. My heir. If you want to take my child away from me, don’t expect me to just stand there and watch it happen. I will fight for my child’s custody if it comes down to that. But marriage gives us equal claim over our child.”Fight for custody? He had no idea that if it did come down to that, I’ll fin fair and squar

Chapter 11: Bonds of FamilyKnight’s P.O.V:“You mind explaining what’s going on?” I asked Robert, feeling helpless in a way I couldn’t even explain to myself.Elena was having a baby. My baby! I was about to become a father! And I only just found out about it. Dear God! Has Elena been sick this whole time? Did she have to deal with this every day? Keena doesn’t get this sick, then why Elena?Robert sighed audibly. “Look, Knight,” he gave me a stern look. “When I gave you a hint about Elain’s pregnancy, I did it because no matter how awful you’ve been as a man, right now, Elain needs someone to look after her and the baby. I’ve already lost my child, so I didn’t want a child losing its father even before it’s born. But that was all before I heard the word complications.”My heart sank. “What complications?”

Chapter 12: Some Brotherly Conversations:Knight’s P.O.V:I took a closer look at the bouquet of bright pink carnations in my hand and debated on the color choice I’d made. Red would’ve been too bold, too demanding, and I didn’t want Elena to feel trapped. Pink was the better choice and since the industrially bread carnations no longer have any scent in them, it was safe for Elena to keep it in her room…if it didn’t get flung at my face or the trash can, right after I handed them over.So I held the bouquet in my right hand and a large box of dark chocolates on my left; rang the door bell and stood quietly with my heart in the pit of my stomach. What I wasn’t expecting however, was a tall man with silver blonde hair and violet eyes, opening the door to Elena’s apartment.“I’m sorry; I must have gotten the wrong address.” I told the older man and backed awa

Chapter 13: Decisions and Promises:Elena’s P.O.V:“Are you alright?” Knight got up from his seat after Leo went out the door and came to stand in front of me. “You look a bit pale.”I shook my head at him. “I’m fine.”“How are you feeling today? You should really lie down for some time.” Knight said with genuine concern.In fact, I was feeling a bit tired, but going back inside the bedroom with Knight was a big no-no. It was far too soon for that. “I’ll just have a seat on the couch.” I told him instead.Once I was seated, I motioned for Knight to take his seat as well. Instead of taking his previous seat the couch opposite mine, he took a seat at the foot of my couch and much to my astonishment, took my feet into his lap and started giving them a massage. I closed my eyes and leaned back on the couch, almost moaning at how

Chapter 14: New EncountersElena’s P.O.V:“So you’re agreeing to move in with him?” Risa asked as she demolished an entire cinnamon roll in one bite.I cringed, trying my best not to gag at her antics and took a sip of my cappuccino. Apparently, my baby wants me to get fatter by the hour. “I haven’t decided on anything. Knight Tyson might be the CEO of one of the biggest textile companies in the country, but he’ll need to try a lot harder if he wants me to move in with him.”“And it’s not like he’s doing all this out of love, either.” Risa said once she’d washed down her cinnamon roll with coffee. “He’s after the baby, the heir to his empire.”“I know that and that’s exactly why I don’t trust him.” I shook my head. “First he comes into the dressing room and pounces on me, trying to blackmail

Chapter 15: Improvements and then… Knight’s P.O.V: Four days later, I was back at Elena’s doorstep, carnations, this time in pink, and a box of dark chocolates in hand, hoping that this time, I’ll be able to make some progress with her. “Knight. Come in.” Elena opened the door without hesitation. “You didn’t tell me you-“ “Shit!” I dropped the baggage I was holding and rushed to her side. “How did you get hurt? When was this? Why haven’t you called someone? The Doctor! We’re going there right n-“ “Goodness Knight! What’s wrong with you?” She pushed me back hard enough that I stumbled over the box I’d dropped and nearly landed on my ass. “What’s going on?” But my heart was at the pit of my stomach and terror had taken me in a chokehold. The only thing I could do was point my fingers in the direction of her forehead and cheek that was covered in a dark red liquid. How could she not be feeling any pain? H

Chapter 16: 20 Questions Knight’s P.O.V: “You paid for your college tuition?” I asked her. “What about your parents? They didn’t help you pay for it?” “Oh, they wanted to.” She shook her head. “But I insisted that I’d pay for my own tuition. I was eighteen and I could earn my own money.” “That’s so…sensible. Not a lot of people would think that way.” I told her thoughtfully. “I know. My brother was my biggest inspiration actually. He started working way before he turned eighteen.” She said. “He didn’t really have to work since both my dad and mom have their own companies that he could inherit, but he decided to be a painter instead.” “So, he’s a painter.” I said. That seemed like the only part of her story that sounded believable. Her mom and dad owning companies though…I somehow found that impossible. Why would she have to work as a model if her parents owned separate companies? Shouldn’t she be livin
