Elena walked into the kitchen one fine morning and was surprised to see Rosana bustling about, preparing a delicious meal. Elena couldn't wait to get her hands on the meal and even from where she stood, her taste buds were already dancing from the sweet scent.As Rosana expertly chopped vegetables, Elena couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She leaned against the kitchen counter and looked at Rosana closely. "Rosana, I've been wondering... Why does Andrea never allow Vanessa, out of the house? It's like she's practically a prisoner. Do you have any idea?"Rosana paused for a moment, her eyes flickering with a mix of concern and hesitation. She continued her work, slowly placing the knife down on the cutting board. "Elena," she began, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness, "the reason why Vanessa rarely leaves the house has to do with the various kidnapping attempts that have been targeted at her."Elena's eyes widened in shock as she absorbed Rosana's words. "Kidnapping attemp

Elena looked at Andrea, with a concerned expression on her face. She was aware of the heated argument between Andrea and Ethan, which had caused a deep rift in their relationship. Now, she couldn't help but wonder if the two had managed to reconcile. It was eating her deep in her heart and she hated every bit of it."Andrea," Elena began tentatively, "have you and Ethan reconciled after your argument?"Andrea's face hardened, his jaw clenched, and his eyes narrowed. Elena could sense the intense emotions that lingered beneath his composed exterior. After a brief pause, Andrea spoke, his voice laced with a mixture of anger and disappointment."No, Elena," Andrea replied curtly. "I will never reconcile with him. Ethan... he's a bastard."Elena was taken aback by the strength of Andrea's words. She knew that their argument had been severe, but she hadn't expected such a strong statement from him. She reached out and gently placed her hand on his arm, trying to offer comfort."Andrea, I u

Elena had been waiting anxiously for months, her heart pounding with hope and anticipation every time she entered her mother's hospital room. The doctors had given her little assurance that her mother would ever wake up from the coma that had engulfed her for what seemed like an eternity but today was different. Today, as Elena entered the room, she couldn't believe her eyes.There, lying on the hospital bed, was her mother, her eyes fluttering open. Elena's heart skipped a beat, and she could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She rushed to her mother's side, holding back her emotions, and gently clasped her hand."Mom! You're awake!" Elena shouted, her voice trembling with joy. "How are you feeling? Do you remember anything?"Her mother turned her head slightly towards Elena, her eyes filled with confusion and weakness. With a croaking voice, barely audible, she managed to utter, "Water."Elena's eyes widened, realizing her mother's immediate need. Without a moment's hesitation, she

A few days later, Elena's mother was certified to be discharged and she was glad to be out of there. Even though it was a building for healing, it was very depressing and a sad place to be if things don't work out the way they are supposed to."Mom, i'll come stay with you." Elena said as her and Andrea helped her into the SUV."No love, you don't need to worry about that. Syria has agreed to come stay with me." her mother said.Soon, Andrea eased the car onto the highway, heading towards their home. Elena wanted to stay with her mother to ensure that she got better but now that she was refusing, she knew that there was little she could do. Once her mother's mind was made up, there was no going back."But mom-""Elena, i love that you want to do that but no. Remember, the reason why you went to Andrea's house in the first place. It's very clear to us that our house isn't safe and I really don't want anything to happen to you. Stay in Andrea's house and if anything goes wrong within th

The following day, Elena woke up feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. The thought of being pregnant both thrilled and scared her. Wanting to confirm her suspicions, she secretly bought a pregnancy test and went to the privacy of her bathroom. Her heart pounded as she followed the instructions, and as she waited for the results to appear, her mind raced with thoughts about how this could change her life.When the results finally appeared, Elena stared at the small window with disbelief. Two lines confirmed what she suspected - she was pregnant. Emotions flooded through her - joy, fear, uncertainty, and love for the tiny life growing inside her. She wasn't sure how to process it all, but one thing was certain: she wanted to share this news with Andrea."I'm pregnant, i'm really pregnant." she mummured.As she thought about what had just happebed, she thought about Andrea too and she knew that he had been nothing but supportive and caring throughout their relationship. She knew he wo
