LOGINAgatha didn’t even see Ellyse, she immediately went to Kai with urgency as if she was that desperate to see him.“Kai! I heard about the news, how are you? Are you okay? I’ve been trying to reach out to you but you haven’t been responding,” Ellyse stepped out of the way so she could come to him. She held his face with misty eyes while Ellyse watches, Kai remained idle. His brows were furrowed into a line, he didn’t seem pleased to see her.“Agatha what are you-““Please, talk to me. You can talk to me, right? We can still fix this, I’ll make it up to you, I promise!” she was deliriously trying to convince him to come back to her in front of his ex-wife as if she didn’t even exist. What Ellyse saw that day was so different from the Agatha she knew. She looked desperate and hurt, it was almost like she could see herself through her.Years ago, she was in the same situation; begging and pining for a love that never even exist
The meeting dismissed after almost an hour. It mostly consisted of Kai and George assuring the investors that the money that was lost would be compensated for once the suspect is detained. Though there were no clear evidences, Ellyse was confident in her assumption. She didn’t want to blame anyone of course, but she felt the need to voice out her opinion. “Ms. Kennedy, may I speak to you?” Candice, the head of the accounting department approached her after the meeting. “Of course,” she nodded indulgently before they went to a corner. “As the head of the accounting department, I feel the need to atleast contribute something to the investigation,” Ellyse thought about something upon hearing her say that. Candice didn’t have access to the vault despite being in finance. However, she knew exactly what goes in and out of thei
Ellyse couldn’t get herself to sleep that night. Her heart felt heavy and her mind was all over the place. It kept replaying the conversation she had with Kai and last words he uttered before he left. A part of her felt guilty for turning down his help. After all, his intentions were purely to help her. She just couldn’t get herself to do it, especially after seeing how she reacted after seeing their picture together. That night, she realized that she really hasn’t moved on from everything that happened between her and Kai. Despite her efforts of trying to build a civil relationship with him, everything always takes her back to what happened between them before. It’s like a wound that never became a scar. It only stopped bleeding, but the pain was still there. It was a reminder that what they had was real—they were real.
Ellyse decided to go home after checking out Kai’s room. For some reason, the idea of staying in the same house that made her feel lonely sounded ridiculous. This whole entire time, she was digging her own grave. Why did she ever consider living with him again? Was it because a part of her still loves him? The thought sounded absolutely preposterous. She wouldn’t even dare put herself in the same position she so badly pulled herself out from. She’s never gonna do that, ever. Ellyse drove back to her home with a heavy heart. She didn’t cry, she didn’t even feel hurt. Maybe, reality just hit her. For the past few days, she has been moving with her heart and not her head. She thought that being close to Kai again wouldn’t bother her, apparently—it did. She arrived at her
Ellyse had no idea how long she slept. For some reason, pregnancy has made her drowsier than ever. She accidentally skipped lunch because of it too. Thankfully, Kai woke her just right in time for dinner. She literally slept for almost 6 hours straight! “Hey, come on let’s eat dinner,” he nudged her softly. She opened her eyes and saw him, he stood in front of her like he never left in the first place. She squinted a little before rubbing her eyes forcing herself to sit up. “I slept for that long?” she asked him. “Yep, you didn’t eat anything earlier so you have to eat a lot. Don’t worry, there are no fishes in sight,” he chuckled while she pouted. “I’ll leave after dinner,” she informed him. His brows shot up, “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Ellyse. You should stay in, I scheduled a doctor’s appointment tomorrow mor
Ellyse had to drop Claire off at Kai’s house because it was Saturday. She’ll stay there for two days before she gets her back on Sunday night. By Tuesday, she had to make a big decision that might ultimately affect her life. She still hasn’t made a decision or whether or not it was a great idea to live with her ex-husband again. She texted him before she drove to his house. Ellyse: Hey, I’ll drop off Claire at your house. We’re otw now Then she turned her phone off and started driving. “Mom, will you stay with me and dad at home?” Claire croaked from the backseat. She was eager to see her father again. “Uh…I don’t know, Claire. It’s a weekend, you’ll stay at your dad’s house,” she informed her as if she didn’t already know that. Claire pouted, “But I want you to stay with us too!” “
Claire greeted Ellyse with a warm hug when she saw her. She was back to being her usual, happy and talkative self. She was telling Ellyse about her classmates she had a crush on. She was chuckling the whole time while hearing about it, Claire was really growing up.
“You chose me as your architect and you don’t even know what I look like?” Ellyse wanted to laugh out loud while saying that. It was so funny! And also such a coincidence for both of them to meet this way.“That’s absolutely crazy,” Riden shook his head before finally finishing with
Let the pain linger, they said. And Ellyse sure did. She cried herself to sleep that night, recalling every single thing that happened during their marriage. How could Kai stomach being with her for that long if his heart belonged to Agatha all along?Ellyse strongly belie
“Claire, let’s go,” Ellyse quickly took Claire’s wrist to get her out of there as soon as possible but Agatha was quick to take her attention away.“Hi, Claire,” Agatha kneeled to match Claire’s level.Instead of moving along with her, Claire matched Agatha’s gaze. She took
