“Stop being jealous. He can’t even compare to one of your hairs!”
“Why even bother with him? Do you know what people are calling him now? The horrible monster!”
Ryan looked at me with love and I burst out laughing and fell into his arms.
Vivian came out of her room upstairs and teased us right then.
“When are you two going to have a baby for me?””
As Ryan took my hand and led me to our bedroom, I shyly lowered my head under his loving gaze.
Two months later, I suddenly realised that my period, which usually comes on time, hadn’t come. I took a pregnancy test, and sure enough, I was pregnant.
I was shocked and sat on the toilet, touching my belly and yelling for Ryan.
Ryan was getting ready to go to work when he heard me and ran in quickly.
“Elena, what’s wrong? Did you fall?”
I slowly held up the pregnancy test while my other hand gently rubbed my stomach, all while he looked at me with worry.
“You’re to blame!””
Ryan couldn’t believe what he saw in the two lines. Then, with overwhelming joy, he carefully took me to the hospital.
The doctor confirmed I was two months pregnant after running a series of tests.
“You don’t have to be too careful. The baby is growing up well. Just come in once a month for a check-up!”
Ryan nodded and wrote this down carefully before helping me leave the clinic.
We saw a stretcher being rushed through the emergency room as we walked through the hospital lobby.
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! We have a patient who is infected all over their body!”
Ryan held me protectively in his arms while I looked over. To my surprise, I knew the person on the stretcher.
Max lay there with a red face, mumbling in a crazy way.
“I was wrong… please… I was totally wrong! Please give me one more chance… I want to have a lot of money!”
Max seemed to know something was wrong when I frowned at him and suddenly opened his eyes to look at me.
His face went pale when he saw Ryan gently touching my stomach.
Right away, the doctors yelled for help with resuscitation because the patient had passed out!
Ryan and I smiled at each other, held hands, and walked out of the hospital together towards our beautiful future. A few months later, I had twins. We named them Asher and Aria.
I smiled as I closed my eyes and watched Ryan make formula for our two babies in their cribs. After all these years, my life had finally reached the shores of happiness. I was starting a new chapter.
Clara is my name.
I had a boyfriend in college, but sadly, after graduation, he had to go home for an arranged marriage.
I got Max drunk the night before their wedding and had a great time with him.
I did everything I could to make him happy that night, and the next day he couldn’t bear to leave me. So I told him to take me with him when he went abroad.
That’s how we left Elena behind. Once we got to another country, we started a small business with money Max had stolen from his family. At first, we made some big deals and the business was very profitable. We began to live a lavish lifestyle. But soon, the business started to fail and was about to go bankrupt.
I told him to go home for help. After all, his family was so rich that any problem could be solved with just a word from him!
But when we got back, we found that everything had changed. Max’s parents had gone bankrupt the year we ran away and had vanished.
We went to Ryan Zack’s company to save the company. He was a well-known business tycoon.
If we could work with him, our business wouldn’t just stay alive; it would do well.
We waited for several days and almost ran out of money, but we never saw Ryan.
Max remembered that he had given Elena a villa as an engagement gift before their wedding when they were in trouble.
There were couple things everywhere when we got there: matching slippers at the door, matching mugs on the table, and a man’s razor
