Superstar's Spotlight: Limelight (18+) [COMPLETED] {unedited}

Chapter 44: Fragments?

"I'm trying to tell you that we are still legally married."

"Why?" I look at him and he looks at me shocked. "I feel lost without you, there were pieces of you around the house. Each time I'd find something I'd remember something about us."

"That's crazy because I'd show you pictures and it didn't ring a bell." He sighs. "I know but, Sarah reminded me of you too."

"Ew, I know that woman would not try to remind you of me so you better not be comparing me to her Elliot Grayson." He laughs and I feel disgusted.

"It's not like that, she just pretended to be like you."

"So, not only has she stolen my life she's trying to steal my identity?"

"It's really crazy, because it was almost like she studied you." My lips press in a hard line as I look at him. "Even how she used to take care of me, the same way we'd make love." He clears his throat. "Sorry I didn't mean to bring that up."

"It's fine cause Tyler and I used to make love too." I see his jaw clench, it wasn't fine at all but I just had to. "I'm glad she acted like you. Made me miss you more and probably jump started the restoration of my memory." He places his hand on my knee.

"Do you remember everything?" He shakes his head putting his hands back together in his lap. "But I came here hoping I could have my woman back." I chuckled and he smiled looking down at his hands. "But then Tyler came home and I realized I lost you, you seemed happier than you were with me before I was a total asshole to you." He looks at me.

"I didn't want to ruin or come between what you guys have. So, I disappeared and ignored your calls until today."

"I don't and can't see myself beyond you, beyond us and I don't think I ever will and I'm terrified." I feel my eyes well with water as he stared into them.

"Why are you terrified?"

"I'm terrified that you'll choose him and not me."

"Well, you have nothing to worry about, Tyler is long gone and forgotten about me."

"What happened, are you ok?"

"It's a long story and I am." I smile at him. "You have your memory back and I'm excited about our future."

"You're excited?" I nod and smile. "You don't seem like the excited Gianna I'm used to."

"Hey, I'm restricted, I can't be my true excited self when I get exhausted easily I'm carrying precious cargo." He chuckles and I do too. "I have to go to the bathroom, be right back." I got out of bed.

His words resonated with me, I was truly excited about everything but, was this really it? I'm over the moon but, I don't look it nor am I expressing it. I sigh listening to my pee enter the toilet.

He hasn't spoken a single word of Sarah. What if that's the reason this is weighing so heavily on my emotions? I need to know if he still feels anyway about her and if that chapter of them is closed for good and the book burnt with the ashes in hell.

After I was finish freshening up I was out the bathroom and back in my room. Elliott was fast asleep in my bed, I thought maybe something had happened to him but he was on one of the pillows on the side of the bed he normally sleeps.

And he shuffled a bit when I sat. I smiled as I looked down on him, my love has returned to me. The saying was true after all, you gotta let the things you love go and they will come back if they are truly for you. My heart thudded in my chest as I remember the times watching him sleep meant the world to me, knowing he was with me and for me.

It still felt that way, I hope he remembers every precious memory we once had. I lay down and felt myself drifting away too, for the first time in a longtime I felt at peace...

"Gianna, hey, Giiiianna." I'm being shaken as I hear someone call me. I slowly open my eyes to see Alex's girlfriend. "Huh, wha- what are you doing here?" I look up at her. "Alex has been trying to reach you, she's in Paris so she sent me to see if you're okay." She hands me her phone.

"Every time something happens you're always the last to know." I sit up rubbing my eyes as she speaks to me on video call. "What the fuck is going on?"

"I don't know." I say while yawning and she begins sharing her screen and I squint my eyes a bit. "Glasses G." I reach by my bedside as I remember not putting my contacts back in.

I'm so excited to be a dad again. ❤️🙏🏾

Sat the caption below a photo of me asleep with Elliott's hand on my stomach on his social.

"Well shit." I say and Alex is quiet as she looks at me. "I feel so used." I begin searching for my phone.

"How? You literally agreed to this." I hold my phone in my hand as I give her my attention. "Asked for what exactly? My pregnancy to be announced by my husband?"

"Pause, you mean ex-husband."

"No, apparently he didn't sign or turn over the papers."

"Damn." I hear Alex's girlfriend then she covers her mouth and walks to the other side of the room to sit on a chair.

"I'm so confused, what's with this comment then?" She scrolls and I see Sarah. "I can't wait for our new bundle of joy! #surrogacyIsbeautiful #3+1=4 😍

I feel sad and then I began to wonder, when was I ever going to find happiness, when was I never going to be not lied to and used? Was I put on this world to suffer??

My question was answered, the door was never closed, I don't know what's happening with this triangular structure I've been placed in but, I was excusing myself from it, from them, from reality, from everything. 

No calls, no messages, no explanation from him but a post exposing something I wasn't ready to reveal. I sob looking back at Alex as I held the phone up and she looks back at me sad clutching her chest, just then her girlfriend comforts me.

I just don't know what to do anymore.
