Chapter 28 : It was late in the evening by the time my testimony was recorded and the case was almost solved Jessica was being taken inside the prison when she turned around calling me out !! Do you think you have won Elena ?! Dad will get me out soon and once he does , see If I let you have a good life ! my adopted sister gritted her teeth in anger as her eyes darted from me to Alex turning hostile With that she was taken inside and at that moment I got a call from Damien Elena baby , can you p
lease wait for some time in there , I will just need half an hour to come and get you Dont worry Damien , Miss Anderson- a cop offered to drop me back at home I reassured him before continuing I also need to go to grandma at the hospital- I will do it Elena , you must be tired so have some rest , alright ? And call me if you need me .
I hung up only to see Alex looking at me with eccentric eyes before they turned soft as if it was only on illusion Elena , Miss Anderson was called for an assignment .
How about I drop you off please dont refuse .
I hesitated disliking the idea before finally giving in .
Soon Alex pulled up to my without another word .
apartment building , tuming off the engine .
The air between us was thick with unspoken tension as I got out Elena Alex said , his voice gentle .
Youre not even going to to invite me in for old timess sake ? We can just grab a cup of coffee before I leave B Why would I do that Alex ? I froze in shock , turning to look at him with suspicion .
He shrugged his lips curving into a faint smile .
Let me apologize , properly .
I promise to never bother you again if you let me explain just this one last time .
I hesitated .
The thought of being alone with Alex unnerved me , but Alex had turned to help me out this time , personally giving evidence against Jessica thus I conceded .
Just one cup of coffee and you are out- Do you say the same thing to Damien ? Damien never forces me to do things I dislike .
I retorted in anger only for Alex to smile mysteriously I will try to do whatever you like Elena .
With that we stepped into our apartment , the atmosphere growing even heavier .
Alex glanced at the small space , this apartment was smaller than his master bedroom making his lips curl up .
Its great he remarked , a faint hint of sarcasm in his tone .
Yes , much better than the house which was my hell for three years I replied curtly , moving toward the kitchen .
Tll make the coffee .

No Alex interrupted , his lips in a thin line .
In the past it was only you who always worked for me Elena , let me do it this time .
I wished to scoff yet watching his serious expression , relented with a short nod .
You can sit down while I bring it to you at the table .
I nodded || Minutes later , Alex handed me the steaming cup , his expression unreadable while he looked at me intensely .
Feeling uncomfortable I took a sip to soothe my nerves as we sat down at the small dining table .
You dont need to try so hard Alex I finally said , breaking the silence .
My voice was steady , but the words were spoken from my heart.
which was broken Im not selfish like you .
What are you talking about ? Alex scowled at me .
I sat the cup down , meeting his gaze directly .
Youre doing all this , collecting the evidence , and suddenly showing concern to gain access to the twins , arent you ? I am doing no such thing .
Alexs body stiffened , his hand clenching hard around his burning cup .
You dont need to scheme , Alex .
I interrupted .
Earlier , I was so happy to finally conceive and came to give you this surprise on your birthday but I heard you talking with your friends that I am just a substitute for Jessica .
I wondered if I as a mother could be discarded so will my children but even after leaving I was never planning against From the beginning , I had never planned to separate my twin children from you .
They deserve to know their father Alexs face suddenly drained of all color His cup trembled as he set it down .
What did you say ? Im not going to keep them from you or disallow them to meet you .
I never had a loving father but atleast I hope you can children .
I repeated , my voice weakening But you need to be the kind of man they can look up to .

What do you mean they are my children ?! I thought .___ } I blinked , caught off guard by his reaction , my body swaying What ? Did you did you believe in Jessicas rumor too ? looked at my ex- husband with a look of absolute shock , making his face homified .
Before he could respond , a wave of dizziness washed over me .
I gripped the tables edge , my vision blurring with everything appearing too bright .
I took short gasps of breath as a strange , numbing sensation crept through her body .
Elena Alexs voice was sharp as he rushed holding me in his arm quickly .
Alexs eyes widened in horror as my face turned pale No ! Elena ! he shouted , catching me in his hold when I slumped forward .
His hands trembled as he cradled me against his chest , his breaths coming fast and uneven .
To think the children in my belly were his own made his stomach chum with guilt and devastation .
He looked at my pale face , his voice trembling .
What have I done ? Feeding Elena abortion medicine to kill those children when they were mine .
… NO !! Elena ! }
