Elena's POV
Bidding adieu to my family was the most difficult task for me. I was overwhelmed with emotions when I hugged the people with whom I have spent my life so far. I don't know when I am going to get this chance again. But this is also crucial for their safety, the same security for which I have lost my everything. If staying away from me can keep them safe then let it be.
After they left for our country, Raphael brought me to his home. His mother was pleased to see me. She hugged me tightly the moment she saw me. In her touch, I felt the same warmth as I feel when my mother hugs me.
Both of them gave me a warm welcome and allotted me a small room. The house in which they are living is very small and is made up of wood. It is in the middle of the deserted area hidden with trees and bushes from all directions. It is very hard for anyone to reach here and find out about this place.
I dropped the bags on the floor and a wild fr
Elena's POVHe was taking deep breaths with closed eyes. It seems like he is preparing himself for revealing the biggest secret of his life."Ella... actually..."He was about to start when we were interrupted by his mother on the door. He closed his eyes in dismay and took his hand back along with his will to speak his heart out. I was disappointed too. Her timing is wrong."I am sorry if I disturbed you"She apologized as she suspected the tension in the environment and was about to turn when I stopped her."No auntiji, it is completely fine. Please come"I smiled to welcome her. This will be very rude if we let her go just like that.She stepped in and walked to us."I was here to give you pain killers"She stood in front of us and gave me the tablets and a glass full of water. I took the tablet and gulped it down.I placed the glass on the side table befor
Elena's POV"Lucifer" she repeated "Xaphan's father"She took a deep breath to prepare himself."I met him when I was 16 years old"She started with her story with a strong determination not to stop until she doesn't pour her heart out. I opened my ears and relaxed my mind to listen to her very carefully."The time when I used to be a free-spirited, ambitious, tenacious, passionate, and loving girl. My dreams were big and I wanted to achieve something in life. I was a quick learner and a philomath. I used to spend hours studying and researching various topics. My parents were very supportive, they let me chase my goals and follow my passion without putting any pressure on me for learning household chores or any other activity which a girl is supposed to do"She smiled a little while remembering her old golden days."My world was very small, which consisted of my mother, father, a twelve-
Elena's POV"And then I gave birth to a baby boy" the side of her lips sarcastically twitched a little bit."He named him as Xaphan, the one who sets fire to the heaven. He gave him that name because he wanted him to be the destructor of thousands just like his father"She sighed."With his birth, I got a new hope. Although at that time I was only 17 years old, a kid by myself, yet the moment the nurse laid him on my chest, I was able to feel that motherly connection with him. My eyes filled with tears of happiness by seeing a small life made up of my blood and flesh lying in my arms. The time when I gave up all the hopes of living life, that little, innocent soul gave me the hope of living my life again, just for him"She was smiling all the time while telling me about the little Xaphan."But all those hopes of mine shattered within few days. I started loving Xaphan very much and he used to sleep with me
Elena's POV"I named him as Raphael, an angel of healing as I wanted him to be my healer and protector of thousands" her smile widened.Xaphan got his father's eyes and Raphael got mine. I spent day and night with my baby in a small apartment. I only stepped out to purchase food for my survival so that I can feed my son properly. He became my everything from that day, and the only motive of my life was to make him a good man so that he can fight against evil and no other girl go through the things that I have faced. I saved all the money for his future, I wanted to provide him the best education and wanted to live my dreams of studying through my son. He was very intelligent and a foodie from childhood. He used to demand many things to eat and I made sure that I am at least providing my son enough food but at a very young age he understood our condition and stopped asking for anything"She released a deep breath."He just ate whatever I
Elena's POVI woke up at the chirping of the birds and the sun rays warming my back. I took a sharp breath, inhaling the fresh air, and stretched my body. I had a tight sleep after a very long time.My eyes fluttered open, slowly and the first thing I saw brought a wide smile to my face. I blinked twice to clear my vision and focus on him so that I can enjoy my morning view that is Raphael's face, fully!He was lying beside me, his right arm wrapped around my waist and my legs entangled with his. His eyes were closed, long eyelashes brushing his cheek and his breathing is even implying that he is in a deep sleep, lost in his peaceful world.As he was in his dreamland I got a chance of staring at him from close. His jaw has become sharper, and he has become smarter than before. A lot of girls were crazy for him in our college days and now with these killer looks, God knows, what he must be doing to the heart of ladies and that too u
Elena's POV"Shoot"*Boom*"Oh no! I missed it again!"I moved the revolver down as I missed the target again.It is been more than one month since I have shifted to Raphael's house. Things are going far better than I expected. My days pass well, every evening Raphael takes me to the depth of the forest and we spend our time in the company of trees and birds which gives my soul so much peace that I just want to live here forever.We are living at a place that is very far from the hustle-bustle of the crowd. The place is placid and restful, and my rifle beside me adds comfort. The combination of everything puts my soul at solace.The only thing I hate is that he made me wake up early in the morning. He does his exercise or I must say gymnastics which he has learned during his training period to join the police. He does this to keep himself fit and forces me to do the same. He doesn't stop until
Elena's POV"NO!"I yelled, struggled to free myself, and abruptly woke up from a bad dream, sitting on the bed immediately, I started panting heavily. The heart in my chest was drumming very loud and my forehead was dripping with sweat.I breathed heavily and thanked God when I realized that it was just a dream.Wiping the sweat from the back of my palm, I scanned the area. The darkness in the room tripled my fear. Stepping down, I moved towards the window and opened it to allow the moonlight and fresh air to fill the room.It is only one hour of me retiring to bed and I already had a nightmare. From the day I have come to know that Xaphan is now out of our reach my restlessness has increased. I am having more nightmares because my brain has started thinking negatively about the future.Brushing gloomy thoughts away, I tried to focus on the moon and feel the fresh air. I flinched at my place when I heard
Elena's POVI and Mimi are waiting for Raphael's return from his duty because he is going to bring dinner with him.Mimi is going through her periods which's why she is feeling weak and tired. And today Raphael was very harsh with me during the training session, which gave me muscle cramps. Every muscle of my body is aching so badly that I can't even move. As both of us were not in a condition to cook anything so we asked Raphael to bring something for dinner.As I was about to pick up the mobile to cut the time, I heard the doorbell. My eyes lit up at the thought of my two favorite things, Raphael and food. I instantly jumped off the couch in excitement and regretted the next moment as a painful moan left my mouth."Wait, I will open the door" Mimi offered."No! It's ok. I will manage"I said and stepped towards the door. I peeped from the hole to make sure it is Raphael. We don't open the door for anyone
