Her Secret

52|Grow Old Together

Elianna's POV

"I", "love" and "you".

Three words with not much significance when by themself.

However, when they're put together, their whole meaning changes.

I love you.

Saying you love someone is an affirmation that you care.

It's telling that person that your heart flutters when you see them or when you think of them.

It's giving your heart to that person and becoming vulnerable since you don't know how they will feel.

I love him.

I should've told him. I shouldn't have waited.

He told me that he loved me and my mind went blank.

I didn't expect him to say it. It wasn't like him.

He caught me off guard.

I want to go back right now and tell him how much I love him.

I want him to know that I will do anything if it will make him happy.

I want Enzo to look at me and know how much I love him.

"Um, Elle?" Seb took me out of my thoughts as we stood in my bathroom. "Mind telling me why you have so many pregnancy tests in your bathroom?"

I had just gotten cheated on and I needed a distraction. Maybe I had one or two one night stands so I wanted to make sure.

"I just do," I answered him before picking up the pregnancy test.

I closed my eyes.

He put his hand on my shoulder. "Elle, whatever the results are, I'll be happy. Enzo will be too."

A tear escaped my eye. "He's not even here."

"He will be," He reassured me. "He always will. We have to stay positive."

I nodded my head as I slowly opened my eyes.

Positive.

I showed him the results and he smiled from ear to ear before hugging me. "Congratulations!"

I hugged him back as I became numb.

I didn't know how to feel.

Is Enzo still alive? Will I be raising this baby by myself? Will he even want it?

"Enzo is going to be so happy when he hears this!" Seb exclaimed.

"He is?" I asked.

He pulled away from our hug as he nodded his head. "You're reconstructing his bloodline!"

I smiled as I saw how happy he was.

I looked down at my flat stomach as I thought about the life was growing inside of me right now.

There is a little embryo waiting to be named in a few months.

What I didn't understand is how this happened.

Enzo and I were safe all of the time. Well, except for our time and at the villa.

Was the villa curse real?

No, it can't be. That's not a thing.

"Good thing you didn't drink that alcohol," Seb joked.

I shook my head. "I can't do it, Seb."

He stopped laughing. "Can't do what?"

"I cant raise this baby without him. He can't do this to me," I cried. "He can't just get me pregnant and leave."
