Elizalde's POV . A sudden shiver crawled up my spine when I stepped onto the ground, sending chills down my body. I clenched my teeth and glanced towards the ominous alley ahead. This is a place meant for the dead, not for the living. As I requested directions, the responsible security guard welcomed and directed me towards my destination. As I strolled along, my thoughts dwelled on Lizzie and the heartache she must be experiencing. The unexpected turn of events left me devastated. The bitter end to our shared history was something I never foresaw. My poor darling… As I approached the building, the solar pole lights twinkled in an array of colours. Upon entering, I couldn't help but shed tears as I searched every corner, despite the lack of people present. "Let me stay here with you tonight, baby. Don't worry about Mommy, I am fine… we are fine, right?" My jaw clenched, and my shoulder dropped as if I were carrying a heavy weight on each top. Lizzie is standing down the corner,
Lizzie's POV . For the first time, after so long, this is the first for me that I slept well after I left Elizalde. It's been a while, but I finally had a good night's sleep. I woke up feeling refreshed and renewed. As I walked into the kitchen, I saw Elizalde cooking breakfast, and I couldn't help but smile. Seeing him wear my pink polka dot apron brought a warm feeling to my heart. "Good morning, love." His warm and lovely man scent lingers in my system after he hugs me tightly and kisses my cheek. I pouted as we stared. "Is everything alright? You seem unwell." He gently placed his hand on my forehead. "A kiss on the cheek? Huh, seriously?" My brows raised, and he smirked. His other hand still looped around me. "I see. Here you go." I smiled and pressed my lips together. I love to tease him in times like this. I miss this silly moment of us. "Even if you pressed your lips tighter, love, they will eventually part for me." He licked his lips, and the anticipation made me blu
Lizzie's POV . "Congratulations, Lizzie," Don greeted me. "It's a double celebration, after all. First your pregnancy and second for having the company back now in the full title," he continued. "Thanks, Don. I did this to make everything right. It's unfair for Elizalde. I am thankful for him because we probably lost the company by now without him." "I concur with your statement, Lizzie. Elizalde is always forward-thinking and determined. He focuses on achieving his goals and doesn't let anything distract him. His perseverance has won you over, Lizzie. I acknowledge that he has made some errors in the past, but it's not entirely his fault. . . At times, when we are infatuated with someone, we may resort to using manipulative tactics to have our way." I smiled and shook my head, remembering what Elizalde had done in the past. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. "You have the original, and I've secured a copy. Elizalde had done it even before you requested it, Lizzie." T
Elizalde’s POV . “How could you do this to me, Elizalde!? You can’t do this! Let me out of here!” Emily is getting hysterical behind bars. Elizabeth is in the hospital as of the moment, having bed rest. Emma is with her, and I’m back at the police station to file a formal case complaint. Don is with me. He will be my acting lawyer. As Don talked to the officers while doing paperwork, two representative lawyers came in and spoke with us. They’re Emily’s family lawyer. Mr Gregory Smith, the father of Emily, wants to talk with me in person, and I agree to meet him during working hours. They temporarily release Emily under strict guidelines and rules. She was calm after that and never said a word to me. I came back to the hospital, and Lizzie was still asleep. Emily told me she just had her medication and was looking for me while I was away. Emily told Lizzie that I was at the police station to file a case against Emily. “I don’t want us to be like this, Elizalde. Just let her go.
Elizalde’s POV . “If that’s what you want, we will stay there until you give birth, Lizzie.” My jaw tightened as we stared, and she inhaled deeply. I am willing to support her in whatever brings her happiness, and I’m content to be by her side through it all. I am okay with everything. “What about the company, Elizalde?” “Don’t worry, love. Don will take care of the company, and I will assist your company soon. I will see whose capable of handling the remaining job you have in hand.” “I can still work online. It doesn’t matter. I just want to be away. That’s all I want. But it doesn’t mean I will stop working for the company because I will not.” She sweetly smiled, and her eyes came heavy. I know she’s tired. This pregnancy brings a lot of her physically. I gently took hold of her hands and placed a tender kiss on them. “I feel blessed to have you as my wife, and I couldn’t ask for more. Your health comes first before anything else, my love. Please don’t fret too much. I’ll make
Lizzie’s POV . “Thank you for coming, Lizzie. I didn’t expect you would show up.” Kristoff formally stood up and offered the chair to me. I sat down and smiled a little bit at him. “I’ve ordered your favourite drink.” As I gazed upon it, I realised it was no longer my preferred choice of drink. I motioned towards one of the staff members stationed nearby, and she promptly acknowledged my signal. “Can I have a fresh orange juice, please? Thank you.” The staff nodded and trailed off. Kristoff cleared his throat while looking at the drink he had ordered for me. “Sorry, Kristoff, I can no longer consume strong coffee blends. I am only permitted to have decaf, and I already had one cup this morning. I cannot handle another one.” He sighed and nodded a little. “That’s alright. I’m sorry. I forgot that you are pregnant. My bad,” he smiled, trying to act cool about it. But the truth? I know Kristoff is confused and guilty about what happened to us. He made several attempts to contact
Elizalde's POV . I was taken aback when Emma messaged me, and for a brief moment, I felt as though my soul had left my body. Despite this, I immediately stepped down from the board of directors meeting. The safety and well-being of Lizzie are of the utmost importance to me, and I cannot forgive myself if anything were to happen to her. I was extremely concerned and anxious. "I'll discuss it with you tomorrow, Zalde." Don sighed in the line, and I gritted my teeth. "Thanks for that, man. See you soon. Bye." After concluding the call, I resumed driving. Lizzie remained silent by my side throughout the journey. I stole a glance at her and noticed her stillness. Her gaze was fixated on the road, mirroring my own. I will discuss this matter once we reach home. I held the car door open for her and silently led her to the kitchen. Once there, she started up the coffee machine with the intention of making a cup for me. I rested my body against the counter and held my arms together unde
Elizalde's POV . Meet me outside the garden, in front of the fountain. I have something to tell you. Wear your best smile, okay? Please don't ruin my mood, or you will get something else. Lizzie. . I slightly shook my head and chuckled a little bit. I folded the little paper she gave me earlier. I knew that it was a letter. But then, what really made me smile was the drawing that came with the message. It's a drawing of two hearts engraved on the sandy beach. There's a saying in the background that says: Love will keep us alive through eternity. The penmanship surrounding it was way back when she was only secondary, and I was at college. I was crazy with her at that time, in love and stupid. She was my world, and I couldn't live a single day without her. And even now, Lizzie is still my everything. I hurriedly walked towards the garden. That's where she wants to see me. She's probably waiting there for me. I was right. She's standing on her back while adoring the fountain's li
