Chapter 3
“I have had your husband wrapped around my fingers Elena, all those nights that you were waiting for him, Alex had spent them with me. If it wasn’t for the protection he carefully used, I would have been long pregnant with his child unlike you who is most likely barren.” “What did you say?” Those words barely left as a whisper, tears streaming down my face. “You can never give birth to a child, can you Elena?” Jessica closed onto me without an ounce of guilt before continuing “Alex is fed up with your useless barren body, unlike a country bumpkin like you he is a billionaire raised in luxury, how can he not wish for an heir?”
Jessica closed onto me with a smile as she held onto my hand like a good sister.
“Worry not sister, when I am pregnant with Alex’s child, you will be the first one to know.” “Jessica!” I screamed with tears in my eyes, each and every word she spoke was like a dagger to my heart.
“You are shameless! Even after ruining my entire life, are you still not satisfied?” I swatted away Jessica’s arm only for her to fall down with a cry of pain.
“Elena!” Before I could understand what transpired I heard footsteps rushing forth as Alex came running.
“What the hell are you doing?! He glared at me sharply with so much resentment and disgust that it made me freeze on the spot.
“I–Its alright Alex, Elena was a little angry, please don’t be mad at her..I–I am fine.” Jessica cried, her eyes welling with tears making Alex grit his teeth in rage.
“I am asking you Elena! Why the fuck did you harm Jessica?!”
“I didn’t..I never pushed her…” I whispered, trembling all over as I felt penetrating gazes sizing me from top to bottom with contempt as Alex’s friends arrived at the scene.
My husband bowed down to pick me up my sister in his arms protectively as if guarding her against me, the scene made a heart wrenching pain crawl up my chest making me barely stand upright.
“Let’s just leave, Alex…Elena is my little sister, she has been a little…stubborn since a young age..I don’t want her to be h–humiliated…” Jessica’s voice cracked at the end producing a miserable sob. “W–We shouldn’t make a scene.”
Looking around Alex saw people recording the incident making him bellow in fury.
“Elena, follow me now!”
Surprisingly Alex did not directly take Jessica to her huge princess bedroom in the mansion but turned to unlock what was my previous room- a storage closet where I used to sleep on the floor even in freezing winters.
This room was obviously now used by Jessica to keep her unused items- a storage. “Sister, the first aid kit is kept at the back, can you bring it for me?”

“Why are you being so considerate to her? That’s the least she can do after ruining your party! I shouldn’t have brought her here!” Tears streamed down my face as I saw my husband’s rigid back towards me when he walked ahead without waiting for a reply.
Even after knowing what Alex did to me, my body automatically obeyed him like a doll on strings. When I went to Jessica’s room decorated with luxury, she was already laying her head on my husband’s chest sobbing pitifully.
Upon seeing me Alex separated from her yet his anger poured on me as he clutched my hand in a bruising grip.
“Elena, massage Jessica’s feet now! It’s all your fault. Do you have any idea how much you have hurt your sister?” While Alex turned away Jessica looked at me with a small smirk. “I will not do it.” My heart was so trampled upon, that death seemed better at this moment. “What did you say?”
“I will not do it!” Infuriated by my outburst Alex pushed me down to Jessica’s feet. I clutched my belly tightly as my knee hit the floor, astonished by Alex’s cruelty I looked at
him in horror.
“Do you even know how to behave properly for once?! How dare you tell Jessica that she stole everything from you when you aren’t able to do one single thing properly! Even if you had all this you would still end up being unloved!”
“Alex!” I screamed with tears streaming down my face as my husband stepped on heart without any guilt. If my body would not have been supported by the bed I would have fallen to the floor…the possibility of what could have happened to the children in my womb made fear blossom in each pore of my body.
“Alex, how can you do that? Elena is the true heiress of the Dawson family and I am just an adopted child, I occupied mom and dad’s love and even our brothers avoid her like a plague because of me, it’s just natural for her to be heartbroken, It’s all my fault.
What if she was hurt-”
“It’s because she deserves all of it!” Listening to those words my world stopped as I sat there dumbstruck, it was my first time seeing what kind of man I actually married.
“Sister, are you alright? Please get up, Alex was too angry for a spur of the moment. Don’t misunderstand Elena.”
“Shut up!” The words burst from my throat before I could stop them. “Just shut up with your fake crying!”
The crack of Alex’s palm across my face echoed through the silent room. My cheek stung, but the betrayal in that strike cut deeper than any physical pain. I touched my fingers to the spot, still burning from his hand.
