Ella & Alexander

The longer I lay there in that empty bed, the more bitter I became.

What had I expected? That Alexander would stay beside me, maybe stroke my hair while I slept? That he’d wake me with gentle kisses and promises?

Goddess, I was such a naive little fool.

Eventually, I dragged myself out of bed and pulled on a robe, wrapping it tightly around myself. I wasn’t going to hide away in shame. And besides, I needed coffee.

But when I reached the main staircase, I heard voices coming from Alexander’s office. The door was partially open, and I could make out several people inside. Curious despite myself, I crept closer.

“-why your car was used for the kidnapping…” That was Alexander’s voice.

I pressed myself against the wall beside the door straining to listen.

“Alex, I swear to you, my car was stolen!” Sophia’s voice was desperate. “I reported it to the police yesterday morning when I discovered it was missing from my driveway.”

“Convenient timing,” Alexander replied coldly. “Your car gets stolen the same day my wife is kidnapped.”

My wife. The way he said it… But I hardly dared to let myself wonder if I was wrong about him.
