Me Against Them

32 - Safe Haven

Elle's POV

5 years later...

"You look good," She whisper accepting defeat, and I smirk at her. The wicked smile spread across my lips and through my Jimmy Choo sunglasses I knew she could see the fire burning with pride in my eyes. "I wish I could say the same about you." I whisper as the guard kept a close eye on us.

"I guess we both got what we wanted," I say to her and she tilts her head to the side. She didn't need to play dumb with me. "I'm not with Alex and you're not after me."

She remains calm, collected, and still. "You're right, but I didn't want Alex to end up in jail with me." I frown knowing that she was trying to point fingers...again. I knew it was a waste of time coming to see her. "Well whose fault is that Marisol? I mean after all you did kill his ex-fiancé. You did commit murder," I knew my words were getting to her.

Yes I faked my own death, she got blamed and went to jail. But it was never my intention to have Alex in jail as well. But after hearing his plot to take me down, and after pleading with him, talking to him, and finally realizing this was the best thing for both of us. I moved on, and raise Jude with the love of both parents in mind.

As for Marisol, I was just glad she didn't die in jail long enough yet for me to see her. It's been 5 long years, and she somehow lucked out on getting the death sentence. Or is that next week? I'm not sure,

"So what are your plans after this?" Her voice went up an octave higher as her wrinkled hands touched the metal table. I didn't let my smile fade away as I slowly rise to my feet. She hadn't see me completely when she arrived in the waiting room.

I rub my swollen belly, "About to have a baby, see you around Marisol."

"Good luck Melanie," I point my finger at her to show off the ridiculous wedding ring my wonderful husband gave me. "It's Mrs. Ramirez." Her eyes widened but went back to a reserved fashion. "So you married the assassin?" I nod at her words carefully, "Good for you."

With that I leave her to rot in this jail for the rest of her days, I followed the police officer out of the jail and smiled at my waiting husband. "Hey babe," He says kissing me on the forehead as he takes my hand.

"So are you ready to have our baby?" He says cheerfully un-locking the mini-van we got. His idea not mine, believe me I would've been fine with the sports car he traded in. It was hard to let that one go, so many memories.

"Sure, been tired of holding this thing in for nine months." I joke and he laughs starting up the car. "Romeo when are we gonna go back to Valencia where everyone else is?"

"After we have our baby. Remember we came here because you wanted to see how Aiden was doing, and then we find out that you're too pregnant-if that's even a thing-to even get back on a plane. So we are having the baby here in America."

Oh right, my memory since being pregnant was shot. My phone started to ring, "Hey baby,"

"Hey Mom have you had my little sibling yet?" I shake my head, he was so cute asking if I had the little monster. He did tell me clearly that he wanted to be the first to know. And I made sure he would be.

"No we're going to the hospital right now, I love you and see you soon." I say before kissing him goodbye through the phone. Romeo was blending into traffic when I hung up the phone. "Was that Jude?"

"Yup my prince was asking about the new royal addition...again." I chuckle at how cute my son was. He was going to be a great big brother to their little sibling, and I couldn't wait to go back home in Spain and unite the two of them.
