“Impossible! How can she leave me behind?!”
The glaring words with Elena’s signature at the end of the papers made Alex stumble back in absolute horror.
Jessica looked at Alex in frustration before replying in a sickly sweet voice.
“Alex, I know I shouldn’t say this but Elena hates me since childhood and had often threatened mom and dad that she will leave our home in the past. She did these kinds of things many times to gather attention.”
“This is fucking ridiculous!” Alex’s cold voice boomed in fury, his eyes fixed on the papers.
Holding Jessica’s arm in a tight grip he dragged her outside in the middle of the night.
“Hurry inside the car! Elena has nowhere to go except her grandmother, she will be with her. ”
“Alex, don’t blame her. She has been raised by countryside people, and after mixing up with them for too long, she does not know right from wrong.” Even before Jessica could complete her sentence, Alex gripped her shoulders roughly, his eyes wild in disbelief.
“When we reach there, you are going to deny that I ever slept with you. I was only playing with her all these years but she must love me just like she always had.”
“…Alex…then what about me? Will you n–not marry me now that she is gone?” Jessica was startled to see that Alex was so distraught over my absence and asked crying.
“She is not fucking gone! Elena can never leave me, I will not allow it!
You don’t understand Jessica, I must be the one to leave her behind, not her!”
Jessica still in shock after seeing Alex like that, sat inside the car without another word.
“I..I have waited to be by your side for so long…I can wait more.” Alex felt guilt for the woman beside him and coaxed her gently.
“I will marry you but this is not the time.” Jessica clenched her fists in frustration as they drove in the middle of the night.
The journey to the hospital was fruitless for Alex as the doctor told him without missing a beat that my Grandma was discharged.
“To think Elena can take such a drastic step even without consulting you once. I will take care of your home till Elena is back.”
“No need. We will talk about this later.”
“What?”
“Get off, let’s talk tomorrow.”
“Alex! I am your one true love so why are you treating me like this?!” Jessica could not take anymore and sobbed with tears streaming down her face.
“Is it that after living with my sister for so many years you…you are planning to abandon
me-”

“Alex! I am your one true love so why are you treating me like this?!” Jessica could not take anymore and sobbed with tears streaming down her face.
“Is it that after living with my sister for so many years you…you are planning to abandon me-”
“You don’t fucking get it! All those years ago, I told my grandfather explicitly that I will break up with Elena and marry you but she used some unhandled dirty tricks to force me through this marriage and even got five percent of the Giovanni empire’s shares!
I hate people who try to play games with me so how can I leave Elena be, she must suffer until the end.” Jessica could not speak a word after that and simply nodded.
Alex dropped her off and rushed home while dialing my number hundreds of times only for it to disconnect automatically.
“This darn woman!” Alex cursed under his breath as he asked his secretary to arrange a
new number for him.
It was past midnight when I received an anonymous call on my number, worried that it belonged to one of friends I picked up quickly.
“Elena, when are you coming back from France?” The deep raspy voice of Alex jolted me awake, tremors went through my body as I realised my husband was completely aware of my location.
“If you disconnected the call, I will make sure that no hospital in France can treat your grandmother.” My finger on the disconnecting sign froze as I took a deep breath.
“Didn’t you already cheat on me with Jessica? Now that I am out of the picture you should celebrate-”
“NO! That was just a one time thing. It was a fucking mistake!
Didn’t you marry me for luxury and money? You acquired shares in Giovanni corporation and had everything that you could have only dreamt of earlier. Now you are my wife, the woman of the richest CEO in the country.
You have everything that others can only dream of so don’t throw a fit and listen to me now, come back tomorrow.”
my
A small smile played on my lips as I laughed heartily with tears streaming down face.
“Wife of the richest CEO? My life was worse than a beggar.
The hellish life that I have lived these three years where I could not even have food for one time…is this what you call luxury?
Do you even know how many days I have worked till I fainted from exhaustion? Do you have any idea that how many days I went to bed all hungry to keep myself in shape so as
to not disappoint you.
The luxury you call it…I don’t want it anymore.” A pang of guilt hit Alex’s heart yet when he thought of the time where his grandfather forced him to marry me, his expression became sombre.
“It was you who said you wished to work outside, you are not a child Elena, do you expect

“It was you who said you wished to work outside, you are not a child Elena, do you expect me to spoon feed you? Everything was brought upon you by yourself.” Listening to Alex, my heart shattered completely.
When I did not speak in shock, he not relent and continued his persistence.
“Do not forget that it was me who took you under my wing after your brothers threw you
out. Even your parents were disappointed in you, you have no one in the world except me Elena. Not a single soul who would accept how flawed you are.
Come back to me and I will forgive you…the problems you had till now, I will take care of them, whether it’s servants or your grandmother’s medical fees I will take care of everything-”
“No need” Alex’s arrogant voice ceased as a moment of silence extended between us. “What did you say?”
“I don’t need any of you from now on. My parents abandoned me as soon as I came into this world, even after finding that I was their biological daughter they treated Jessica with love while I was always a thorn at their side.
I don’t need your manipulation at all Alex. I may not be perfect but atleast I am not as heartless as you. In this world I have finally found someone that I can call my own now. Even without you I will survive and be happy. I don’t need your support.”
Caressing my belly I thought of my twin children, they were my joy and hope even in this sorrow. When Alex heard my words, on the other hand he stood in rage and amidst the sounds of crashing in the background I heard him laugh.
“Jessica was right, you are nothing but a lowly woman raised by bastards in cheap countryside. Since you could not attach yourself to me as a leech you moved onto the next target without any sorrows!
Tell me Elena, how many men have you seduced till now? Are you there living with another man when we haven’t even divorced yet!”
“Alex!”
