Chapter 22
The next morning, Alex called Jessica.
“Alex..h–how can you leave me alone in the hotel room? Have you found Elena’s truth yet?”
“Yes, that is why I don’t have any time for your tantrums. Get ready I will be there to pick up you soon.”
Jessica paced outside the clinic where Alex informed her that Elena had an appointment as well.
“Why am I even here?” Jessica asked, tossing her maternity report into her bag. “You have already seen everything Alex- Elena and Damien are together, those children belong to your brother-”
Alex shot her a glare. “Just do as I say.” Jessica gritted her teeth, regretting that she chose Alex between the Giovanni brothers, now that she was pregnant and was also controlled by the Dawson family, she had

no choice but to follow Alex’s orders.
She rolled her eyes but got out of the car anyway, getting in the clinic.
I was waiting for the doctor’s call when Jessica arrived, her eyes not trying to hide the malice for me anymore.
“Well, well, look who is here.” Jessica said, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. “How are the twins in your belly sister?” I went pale with fright, my arm quickly covering my stomach protectively.
“How do you know? What do you want, Jessica?”
Jessica leaned closer, her voice lowering.
“Just thought I should stop by and remind you that while you are playing house alone, I am raising Alex‘ s child- his heir.
so
Remember your place and don’t even dare to compete with my child for your little orphans.”
My eyes remained calm, but the moment

she insulted my children I could not endure anymore. “All your life you have been just a fake, and now you are
competing with children who aren’t even born yet, there is no limit to how low you can get Jessica.” Jessica’s smirk faltered for a moment before she recovered.
“If I stooped low then you are no better than me. Let me tell you honestly Elena, you almost had me for a moment, that stupid man did not show up for our wedding, telling me that he would go search for you but remember this- you can never have Alex.
I will never let that happen. I have everything that you can’t even dream of and my child too will have everything too, just wait for me.
I will make sure that Alex can only marry
me and no one else-”
“Just as I said, you both suit each other perfectly, the adopted daughter of Dawsons. and the illegitimate child of Giovanni, event

your disgusting schemes are similar.”
Before Elena could respond, Damien entered the room looking at Jessica with disgust, making her angry. He had always. rejected her advances so how come he fell for a woman like me who could not even
keep her husband in control.
Jessica‘ s lips curled into a sly smile as she turned on a recorder. “Oh, Damien. Always swooping in to save the damsel?
You’ve been doing that since childhood, haven’t you? All those love letters you used to write Elena should have stopped when you both were young, how can you corrupt my sister like that when she was already married?”
How long is it going on between you two? Elena, is this why you created an excuse to leave Alex and blame everything upon me because your heart fluttered for another man?”
“Jessica!” I shouted in rage, Damien on the

other hand didn‘ t flinch.
“What? does the truth hurts you to such extent?” Jessica looked between me and Damian before continuing. ” there is no way you can conquer such a man Elena, you must have used all the tricks to get close to Damien.
Earlier I was only suspicious when your biological brothers showed the photos, but now I know for sure that these children that you are carrying don’t belong to Alex and not only me but now Alex also knows. about the dirty seed you are carrying-”
“If you speak another word I promise that I will kill you.” Damien’s face turned cold ast his voice got low in wrath, the temperature of the ward froze with his threat making Jessica unable to make another sound.
“Tell your bastard boyfriend that sooner or later Elena would be mine, and unlike
him I would never leave her side. Damian
Giovanni would belong to Elena and no one
else.

The innocent children you are insulting, it’s alright if Alex doesn‘ t accept them because just like you said I will name them as mine!” My lips trembled in surprise.
Jessica’s eyes gleamed with shock as she looked at him incredulously. “So, you‘ re finally admitting it. You‘ ve been in love. with her all along.”
