" Submissive? He has a submissive? " These words kept ringing in her head till she passed out.
" Seriously Edward, you had a submissive? " Deva asked in shock. She just got to the hospital upon hearing what happened to Elena.
" Lord have mercy, seriously Edward you are in for trouble. " Atticus said.
" You should have at least chose a less noisy lady not that low level demon " Dante said.
They were all happy when Edward decided to settle down with Elena but this news brought immense sadness, Elena was again unconscious and Edward was saying anything.
" For heavens sake Edward, say something " Deva urged.
" Err... Mr Edward your wife has regained consciousness " the doctor said.
" Can.... Can I see her ? " Edward asked even though he knew she wouldn't want to see him.
" No sir , she doesn't want to meet anyone yet and I must say sir that your wife looks depressed and dehydrated - and that's not good for her present health condition " the doctor advised.
" I will take care of that " Edward replied.
" Excuse me doctor but can we meet her ? " Deva asked.
" Not really miss " the doctor replied.
" It's him she doesn't want to see " Dante said.
" Please doctor, it really important that we see her " Atticus pleaded.
" Well ... Alright, just three minutes and that's all " the doctor replied.
" Thanks " Deva replied. " We will have to save your ass before you lose your wife " she said turning to Edward.
* Inside the room *
" Hello there Elena " Deva called out smiling.
" Hello " Elena replied weakly.
" How are you feeling now Elle ? " Atticus asked.
" I don't really know but I feel empty " she replied.
" Listen dear, we know what Edward did was wrong and he doesn't deserve your forgiveness but you need to understand that he met her before he met you " Dante explained.
" I know, it was just the shock of the revelation that got me scared. Moreover that lady .... She doesn't look normal, I mean something about her oozed pure darkness " Elena explained.
" Why do you say that ? " Deva asked.
" That's how I felt when i saw her plus there was a sight change in her eyes when she spoke " Elena explained forward.
" Don't worry too much about it " Atticus said.
" Yes Elle you should rest, that guy out there can finally breath freely " Dante said.
" I don't want to see him yet " she replied.
" Fine Elle, take your time " Deva replied as they left her to rest.
* Outside the room *
" Is she alright ? " Edward asked.
" Yes she is and she just shocked and not angry " Dante asked.
" I must say Edward, she really loves you alot . But you've hurt her by keeping secrets about your submissive from her " Atticus said.
" I never wanted to do that " Edward responded.
" But you did. Anyway that's not the major thing now " Deva said.
" Did something happened to her ? " Edward asked in panick.
" Easy Edward, it's about Carolyn " Dante said.
" Carolyn ? What about her ? " He asked.
" Elena saw her true form , not fully but just a glimpse. How can she do that ? " Atticus asked.
" Yes Edward how ? Elena is purely human, she shouldn't be able to detect a demon " Deva said.
" She didn't, Carolyn eyes just changed a bit and it went back to normal. Am guessing that's when Elena saw it " Edward replied.
" You don't understand, she said she felt a darkness oozing from Carolyn " deva said.
" Let's just forget about it " Edward said putting an end to the discussion.
" He's definitely hiding something " Atticus said.
" Something huge " deva said.
* A week later *.
" This house has gone back to its usual atmosphere " Rebecca commented.
" What do you expect, after the scene that witch of a lady created " Amanda replied.
" To think that she had the guts to come here and rant " another lady said.
" Rebecca, Amanda, Charlotte, stop gossiping and get back to your chores " Mr Klaus ordered.
" Ack !!! He's a pest " they whispered.
" Elena, let's talk " Edward said.
" I don't wanna talk to you " she replied.
" Let's go back to Portland " Edward suggested.
" Port.... Portland? " She asked.
" Yes Portland.... You would like to go back to your company right ? And your grandparents? " He asked.
" Yay ... I would love to go back to Portland " she replied happily hugging him.
" That's not fair wife, you can touch me and I can't. Not fair " he said with a smirk.
" Am .... Am sorry " she apologized letting go of him.
" I .... I never said you can't touch me " he commented with a hurt look on his face.
" I .... I am sorry for overreacting, I .... I was just shocked " she said.
" Don't worry love , it's understandable " he replied. " Let's get ready and leave for Portland ". He added.
Elena was extremely happy to go back to her birthday land and to meet her grandparents again but mostly because she missed working, she wasn't used to staying idle.
" Hello Liam "
" Yes boss "
" Prepare for our return, am sure you understand what am saying " Edward said.
" Yes boss ".
" Who was that ? " Elena asked.
" It's Liam, I was just giving him some orders " he explained wanting to avoid any misunderstanding.
" Oh that's good " she replied.
" Do you want to say something ? " Edward asked.
" Well, you see.... It's a bit strange though " she said.
" What strange? " He asked.
" Me , you , everything, it feels strange to be married " she replied.
" Do you feel happy? " He asked again.
" Yes .... I feel very happy " she replied smiling. Truly she did felt an extreme overflow of joy.
" That's good then " he commented. " You should rest now, we would have to leave very early " he added tackling her into bed.
* Outside the room *.
" Its quite dangerous returning to Portland " a voice spoke from the shadows.
" Its for the best " Edward replied.
" She's dying " the voice said.
" It's only a matter of time, she would be alright when the time is right " he replied.
" Very true, but it all comes with a cost " the voice replied.
" I will save her no matter the cost " Edward vowed.
" Well, we've got a vow then " the voice replied.
