Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Ellis

Since the charity gala, Love has been different for me. But it was a good different. I spent the day with my kids at the pool and enjoyed every part.

“It’s the long weekend. Should I take the kids to my house to spend it?” I asked, and she frowned.

“No,” she responded, her eyebrows creasing.

“But why? They have never slept at my place before.”

“I

And as you said, it’s a long weekend. Imagine how bored I’d be without them here, Ellis.”

You’ve spent their days with them. Just this once, please,” I begged her. She looked over at the kids who were playing with Michael and Zeyneb.

“Maybe tomorrow, but just for a night,” she replied, and I nodded. I wasn’t going to bring them after the night. Love sighed and grabbed my hand. My whole body felt instantly warm, and my heart raced in my chest at that innocent touch.

“What is it?”

“I want to talk about Charlotte. Ellis, don’t you think it’s odd that you have no feelings for her?” she asked. I always thought about it, but I figured it was because I was madly and wholly in love with, Love Chasia to like Charlotte.

I thought it was because I adored you so much,” I shrugged. I saw the beginning of a smile on her face, but she wiped it quickly.

I know, but something is off with Charlotte, and that night you met at the New Year company party wasn’t the first day, Ellis.** she told me. I shook my head. I didn’t remember meeting Charlotte anywhere else.

Something is amiss, and I asked Luis to investigate her. He says he’ll have news on Sunday,” she told me. Investigating Charlotte was something that I never thought about. It was unlike me to be reckless. I have always conducted a deep investigation of people in my life. I nodded to Love, and she smiled lightly at me.

“Well, since we are sharing, I’d like to tell you someone is investigating your boyfriend,” I inform her. Jace’s private investigator has found out some things about David that he’s yet to report on.

“David? He has no skeletons. You’re wasting your time,” she shrugged. I hated her faith in him. He has no skeletons, my foot No one could be perfect.

Then don’t worry,”

‘I’m not worried,” she barked defensively. She was chewing her bottom lip and averting eye contact with me. All I wanted to do was kiss her so badly.

Why are you being defensive suddenly?”

“I’m not. Why are you assuming he has things to hide,” she snapped. Coldness went through my body at what I was thinking Could it be that she was in love with David, and that was why she defended him?

“Are you in love with this man?” I asked, even though I held my breath for an answer. It she said yes, I’d be crashed I didn’t want her to love any other man who wasn’t me. I was jealous to share her love

**I care about him. He was there… always, and I guess I feel guilty for what I’m about to do,” she said softly. What was she to do?

Forget it for now,” she murmured and walked away. I followed her to the veranda and stood next to her. She glanced at the ‘I don’t want to forget it,” my hart raced. I wanted her to tell me now, so grabbed her arm gently and rurned her to me.

“Why the guilt, Love?”

“I don’t want to deny my feelings any longer. Ndon’t love him. I can’t be with David the way he wants. Not in the way I want to be with you,”

Love

Ellis was gaping. The emotions on his face were unfathomable. I was blushing all over again. His breath shuddered after what I said.

11

The way you want to be with me? Do you want to be with me, Love?” he asked in his many voice. I inhaled and nodded.

“Yes, I can’t deny my feelings any longer,” I said quietly. I blushed, and I was embarrassed to say that to him.

What I said was the truth, but I couldn’t help feeling shy. We’d been apart for more than five years now. It would be like starting fresh-a new start to be with him.

He leaned in to kiss me, but I gently touched his chest.

害

No, you can’t kiss me on the lips yet, not until I officially end things with David and you with Charlotte,” I said. He looked at me with a crestfallen face.

“But- but,” he started to protest, but I cut him by kissing his cheek.

11

Really, no. I don’t want to carry any guilt about cheating,” I told him. Ellis reached out his hands and cradled my face. He placed a lingering kiss on my forehead. It was simple but sent shivers down my spine, and goosebumps appeared on my skin.

He pulled me to him, and he hugged me tightly. We were lost in our emotions.
