"I got it. You got married... " My words slowed and then died in my mouth when I saw James shaking his head.
He stepped forward, his hands landed on my shoulder as I was going to run away. I was totally confused, a small part of me wanted to run back to the small cottage, to grow plants.
"You need to know this, Sienna. She was my girlfriend, she is my wife, she is pregnant with my child." He said, looking into my eyes.
I shook my head, "You're covering your brother," I told them, shaking my head gradually. He was lying. Why? Did he fall for her? My heart didn't think so. It could be. I was still his wife. There was hope. He loved me. Did he now?
"No," His grip tightened, his callous fingers dug into my skin. I was still into his words and the sight that I couldn't tear myself from his grasp.
I felt a hand crawling on my stomach. My skin warmed, stomach clenched, feeling a familiar touch on me. I missed him, his touch, and him. Tears polled in my eyes.
"No," I muttered.
"It's true." He huskily whispered in my ears, "You misunderstood everything. She came for help. She was scared, James wouldn't accept her pregnancy. She asked for my help. She didn't want to label her child illegitimate." I felt the need to touch him back. To comfort my shuddering heart. Was it true? I could not trust the person I love, feels for.
"Edward," I said in a broken voice.
"Poor!" His arm tightened around me, pulling me away from James' hold. His hot breath fanned my ear, "You couldn't trust me." He spoke softly, blaming me. I felt him broken at that moment, "I loved you."
Shuddering breath left my body, tears were a mess on my face. My hand reached for his hand. I was scared he would pull his hand away. What did he mean that he loved me? Was it over? Did he stop feeling for me that moment when I trusted what I saw and eavesdropped? No, I heard him clearly but I could not neglect a weak voice chiding me all the time. That told me to trust him, talk to him about what I heard and saw.
"I'm the illegitimate child of my father. You don't wanna know but people treat you like dirt in everything-looking-perfect-world. It's not perfect but cruel to its own people." Elisa said, pacing forward. Her eyes were filled with tears but she looked determined not to cry, "I'm proud to be my mother's daughter." She said, lifting her chin high.
James immediately curled his arms around her, pulling her into a hug, comforting his wife.
"I don't want my baby to tolerate everything that I have faced. I asked for Edward's help. He was always like an elder brother to me that I couldn't have ever had." Her cracked voice was melting my heart. It was chiding me for my actions in a brainless way.
I couldn't look at him, "Go to our room." He said softly in my ear.
I couldn't ignore the command and the slight touch of anger in his words. I whirled in the direction of our room.
