Chapter 24 - COUNTRY H

Regret? No. She did not even for a second regret her decision, all she has ever wanted and wished for was for her grandparents to be happy.

Memories flooded her dream land taking her back to when she was first brought to old man John's house in Paris.

" Oh my grey, she's very pretty " madam Clara said.

" Mother, father, this is Elena " Mr grey introduced.

" Yea of we know she's Elena, you already told us about her " madam Clara said.

" Well dear, you are absolutely welcome to our home " old man John said. The smiles that radiated from them gave her hope, hope that she would feel be happy as she wanted.

 

For days she locked her herself up in her room crying out the humiliation melted on her by the Shawn's family but her dearest grandpa never gave up on her, he constantly reminded her that she had more to live for and people to live for.

Even after getting the revenge she badly wanted, she wasn't still happy, it was like a piece of her was never feeling fulfilled. Then the health, Edward, after coming in contact with him her entire life which she managed to put together, she was just putting up an act to make her grandparents happy when she was only hanging on a thread of hope until she met Edward and her live shattered.

This was her thought, but unknown to her an incredible event was about to unfold that would change the entire course of her existence.

" You should wake up now Elle , we are home now " Edward whispered into her ears but she wasn't waking up.

" Welcome master " a man in his fifties greeted.

" Hello Mr Klaus " Edward replied. He was very confused right now, Elena had been sleeping for the past six hours and they was no sign of her waking up.

" Master I think the Miss might really need to rest on a bed " Mr Klaus said.

" Oh yes, she would need that I guess " he replied as he headed to his bedroom using the elevator for easy movement.

" Oh my, isn't the masters wife pretty ? " A young lady asked.

" Of course Rebecca, she is but she looks very weak and unhappy " Mr Klaus replied.

" Well , I guess she's just needs some rest like you said " Rebecca breathed out.

" Get back to work young lady " Mr Klaus ordered.

" Ack!!! Such a pain in the ass " Rebecca ordered.

* Later that day *.

" Ahhh, my head hurts " Elena yelled startling Edward who was sitting beside her.

" Are you alright?, should I call a doctor " Edward asked in panick.

" Heavens, water... I need water am patched " she replied.

" Oh water . Here you go " he replied offering her a glass of water.

After drinking the water. " This place doesn't look familiar, where am I? " she asked.

" In my house " he replied.

" Your house? How did I get here? " She asked.

" I brought you here, now don't say I kidnapped you. You followed me willing " he explained not wanting any confusion.

" Oh " she exclaimed finally remembering everything.

" Yes should freshing up and come down for dinner, you've been sleeping for 9 hours " he said leaving her alone stunned.

" 9 hours? , I have been sleeping for 9 hours. No wonder I feel like this, can't remember the last time I slept that long " she murmured silently in the bathroom.

Climbing down the stairs she was captivated by the design of the house, the entire place was screaming wealth. She felt really poor at the sight of the house.

" Oh heavens, am I dead " she murmured. 

What intrigued her the most was that the designs of the house were all ancient, it was like the interior got carved out from an ancient demonic lair and was formed in a castle.

The images of unfamiliar creatures on the wall just gave the place the feeling of not being from this part of the world .

" Hello Miss " a man greeted breaking her from her bewildered fantasies.

* Clears her throat *.

" Hello ..... Am sorry but do I know you? " she asked, she sensing some kind of familiarity.

" Err... Elle meet My butler Mr Klaus " Edward quickly introduced.

" Oh hello Mr Klaus " she replied. She couldn't place her hands on it but she felt she knew this man but before she could ask any more questions, a pleasant smell invaded her nose.

" Grrrr..." Her stomach growled making her feel extremely embarrassed. " Oh heavens for the love of my life " she pleaded in her mind.

" You should eat Elle " Edward urged with a hand gesture towards the table.

" Oh yes, I don't want to embarrass myself anymore " she murmured as her footsteps quicken towards the table. 

Upon taking her seat, she almost lost every atom of composure left in her. The meal before her was something else, it evoked an unexpressed hunger in her.

" Eat Elle " Edward ordered finally getting her attention.

" Huh... Is it just me or does he look extremely seducing? Ahhh !!! This must be the side effects of my body weaken " she exclaimed in her mind.

" Eat Elle " he ordered for the second time.

" Could you please stop addressing me as Elle " she pleaded without looking at him as she concentrated on the meal before her.

" Huh .... What should I address you as then.... Let's say my wife " he uttered.

" Coughs "

" Heavens help me " she pleaded in her mind.

" Are you alright ? " He asked acting as if he wasn't aware of what happened.

" Just address me by my full name " she replied while coughing.

" I can't do that " he uttered with absolute seriousness causing Elena to laugh.

Looking at her, Edward could feel a sense of comfort radiating from her.

" Don't just address as Elle, it makes me remember my grandparents " she finally spoke.

" Okay my wife " he replied.

" That's strange but I might as well get use to it , anyway are we still in Portland ? " she asked.

" Country H " he replied.

" Wait what !!! " She exclaimed . " Why are we in country H ? " She asked.

" This is where i live, am in Portland for work " he replied chewing his food slowly.

" How then do I run my company ? " She again.

" Relax wife, just get well and we would decide that. " He encouraged.

" Why is he this gentle? Oh my poor heart don't be deceived " she murmured silently.
