"Of course not. No matter how much I want to help Elise, I'm still in my right mind to reject it. If it weren't for the urgency and urgency I wouldn't want to agree to this agreement and bear your child."
Brian smiled wryly at Elena's answer.
"Sorry."
"Yes?" Elena turned to look at Brian with a frown.
"Sorry for treating you badly at the beginning of our meeting. I even insulted and belittled you. I insulted and said you are a cheap mercenary woman, without ever knowing that you are very difficult and sacrificed so much for the sake of others."
Elena smiled slightly and looked forward again.
"I understand. I've forgiven you for a long time."
"You should have told this truth from the start."
"You don't need to feel guilty, I understand all of these circumstances. It's all over, after all, and I have only three months to go into labor."
"I was very happy when I found out that I was pregnant with twins, because there is a possibility that I could care for and raise one of them. And I'm grateful you granted my wish." Elena lowered her head and rubbed her already huge belly.
"I'm happy too. And can't wait to welcome them to earth." Brian changed his hand and rubbed Elena's stomach. Makes Elena turn her head and stare at Brian's face who is now staring at his stomach with a radiance of affection in his eyes. Brian lowered his head and kissed Elena's pot belly. Make the pregnant woman's heart beat very fast.
"Hi champ. This is Daddy. Daddy can't wait to meet you two," Brian said making Elena hold her breath. Elena's heart skipped a beat when Brian changed his position again and put his ear on Elena's stomach. As if he wanted to hear answers from his two children.
Unexpectedly, there was movement in his stomach. It's a very amazing thing. Makes Brian glance up at Elena with the same twinkle of surprise.
"They respond."
"They know you're their father." Brian grinned when he heard Elena's reply. The man was now moving and lying on his head with his head just above Elena's lap. Brian's face was right in front of Elena's belly. At first Elena was uncomfortable and wanted to push Brian away but seeing the joy in Brian's eyes when he looked at her stomach, Elena couldn't. A smile rose on her beautiful face.
"Daddy really loves you." Once again Brian kissed Elena's potbelly this time for a lot longer. Then after that Brian looked up at Elena's face who was on it.
"Elena!" called Brian who made Elena look down.
"Do you have a name for them?"
Elena shook her head. She had never thought of a name for the twins.
"Do you have a name for them?"
Brian nodded enthusiastically.
"What about Sean and Dean?"
Elena fell silent and muttered those two names.
"I like it. I'll raise Sean and Dean will be with you."
Brian smiled broadly.
"I can't wait to see Sean and Dean."
Elena's hand reached out to brush Brian's thick hair.
"They will be like you, handsome and smart." Elena's eyes locked with Brian's. They both seemed to be dissolved in that action of view. As if competing with each other to drown in the intense gaze that was happening.
And it can't be prevented anymore, Brian's hand lifted her neck and pulled Elena down. And Elena didn't refuse at all. The woman looked down and brought her face closer to Brian. She seemed hypnotized. And who knows who started the two lips are now linked together. Take each other's sip and suck. Create a romantic scene that is most soothing to the heart of this sunny afternoon.
....
Since the backyard kiss stunt with Brian. Elena starts to move away. Her heart racing when she was with Brian made her realize that Elena should stay away from him. Elena already thought about it. A strange feeling that was starting to grow in her heart at this moment. A taste that should never be there.
Brian is the husband of Elise, her twin sister and Elena is also engaged to Diego. How could she possibly betray Diego and Elise by loving Brian?
Should not. Elena must stay away and avoid Brian. She must remember that the man she loves is Diego. The man who is always there for her, the man who always accompanies her in good and bad times. The man who struggled to survive and Elena always counted on. Diego was everything and Elena didn't want to hurt the man any more. It's enough that Diego is disappointed with her crazy deal, Elena doesn't want him to be even more disappointed if he finds out she loves another man.
That's why Elena contacted Diego more often. To take her mind off Brian and tell herself if she had Diego.
Like this time. Elena is on a video call.
"Brother Diego!" said Elena by waving her hand in front of her cellphone.
Which made Diego smile on Elena's cellphone screen.
"You don't usually call using video calls?"
"I miss you, darling," said Elena in a sulk and sad tone. She was sitting on the balcony of the room. The right place to make video calls without worrying about being discovered by Rena or suspicious of Diego.
"I miss you too. When are you coming home?"
"In three months, darling. How are you?"
Diego grinned even more.
"Much healthier. And the therapy is running smoothly. I can walk again. Only a few more therapy times and I can walk normally."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Suddenly a girl was beside Diego, smiling and waving at Elena.
"Mira!" shouted Elena happily.
"Hi Elena, how are you there?"
"I'm fine and everything is going well."
"Why do you rarely call me?"
"I'm sorry Mira, I'm busy here. I'll call you later." Busy looking for the right time so that Mommy Rena doesn't get suspicious. Elena continued silently.
"If I'm not mistaken in three months, right?"
"Yes, in three months." Elena understood the meaning of Mira's question. The lady asks Elena's pregnancy. But it must be covered with the intention of Elena's return so that Diego doesn't get suspicious.
"I hope all goes well and you return safely."
"Amien," answered Elena.
"You don't have to worry about Diego. I'll keep an eye on him. And I won't let him glance at or cast a charm on any other woman."
"Hey! I never had a charm."
"Never spread charm, what? You pretend you want to breathe fresh air every morning, even though you charm the nurses, doctors and other patients, right?" insulted Mira fiercely.
"Elena, you know I've never been like that, right?" said Diego frantically to Elena. Hope that woman will not be consumed by Mira's words.
"He always smiles and teases the beautiful doctor and nurse Elena," said Mira again.
"I'm not," Diego protested loudly.
An argument that made Elena laugh. Anxious to see Diego's panicked face at Mira's report to her.
"You trust me, right?" pleaded Diego with a pitiful face.
"Yes darling," replied Elena with a smile.
"The doctor said if my therapy goes well next week I can go home."
"Is it true?"
"Yes, I want you to be here with me and accompany me home. Or wait for me at home."
"I'm sorry darling. I also want to be with you but I can't. I can't go home now. In three months, I can just go home."
"Yes, I understand. Stay healthy, there. And don't eat late."
"You too."
"I love you," said Diego with longing eyes on Elena's cellphone screen.
"I love you too," replied Elena with a small smile on her face.
Without realizing it, Brian had been standing behind the wall, listening to all Elena's conversation with Diego. His heart was burning with jealousy and got even angrier when he heard Elena telling Diego about love. His hands were tightly clenched in holding the flames of jealousy.
Brian, who originally wanted to call Elena and ask her to come downstairs, gave up on her. He turned swiftly furiously. Walked into his study and slammed the door loudly. Going to his desk and punching hard at the table. He was very angry and upset. Brian even wanted to go on a rampage right now. It felt like he hated his hearing, hearing those cursed words spoken from Elena's mouth for other men.
Not content to hit the table once. Brian punched the table again. He had never felt the flames of jealousy and anger so great as this. Even when Elise used to tell her about the first man who touched her, Brian wasn't this angry and jealous.
The enormous anger that surrounded him made Brian walk away. he had to vent and get out of this anger right away, before Brian went crazy with jealousy.
Brian walked quickly down the stairs, grabbing the car keys that were on the table in the living room.
"Where are you going?" asked Rena who saw Brian leave in a hurry and his face hardened with anger.
Brian didn't answer and just walked away. Driving the car at high speed makes the roar of the car heard inside the mansion.
"What's the matter, Mom?" asked Elena who had just come down the stairs.
"I don't know. Brian left in a hurry looking very angry."
"What happened?"
"Earlier he said he wanted to ask you out. Didn't he tell you something?"
Elena was silent thinking about what Rena said. Brian wants to see her? But she didn't meet Brian earlier. Could he possibly hear Elena on a video call with Diego? Then, why did that man just walk away and drive a car at such high speed?
