Elora's POV;)
"Do you like the food, babe?" Asher asked from beside me and I just hummed before chewing the food slowly trying to speed up the time.
"Try this, Sweetheart." Edward said softly, putting something in my plate which looks like dumpling but he said it's pelmini. I ate it and looked up at him who is looking at my face eagerly like he is trying to read out my expression.
I gave him a small smile with a nod, "It's good." He grinned before giving me more saying that I should eat more. But I don't feel like eating anything at all. Without speaking anything I just chewed some more.
I am currently sitting at a round table having dinner in a luxurious restaurant along with the three men who haunted me day and night ruining my health, both physically and mentally. It's been two months, two fucking months since I came to know about everything.
How they played along to make me feel stupid and foolish for their own selfish reason. How they successfully made me realise how much of a stupid I am.
In these two months I came to know how good they are at acting. Believe me when I say they would have become an excellent actor if they got a chance in the cinematic world. If I didn't know them beforehand, I would have definitely fallen for those acts.
They didn't touch me in any inappropriate way and acted like such gentlemen's husbands towards me until now. I am actually impressed that they kept their promises till now and didn't even touch me in usual places such as my thighs, back and shoulder and not even my hands without asking for my permission which I didn't give at all.
Any of them would just brush my hand with theirs before looking at me pleadingly or expectantly. And I would just pull my hand away from them without saying anything.
And another thing is they started taking me out every once a week. Like until now I would say we have visited the half of the tourist spots from the Russia map in these two months.
They have also shared many things with me in the meantime like how the three of them used to play together as toddlers. They said their father took them along with him whenever he went to see Edward's mother.
From what they said, it seems like Edward's mother was really sweet and kind towards them better than their own mother and they would always be eager to visit Edward's home. The three of them had a good bond until their mother came to know about everything.
And now after all these years they met under the bad circumstances because of me. I didn't believe when Edward said that he punched them as soon as they met again but I couldn't refuse to believe when they confirmed that.
They said, we just let him hit us because even before that we realised that what we did to you was wrong babe, but we don't know how to make it up to you, how to change us.. We are so fucked up in our mind that we don't even know what to do with that realisation at all.
But, my mind doesn't seem to change the image about them. The betrayal and angst are still there. My hate for them burns fiercely and doesn't seem to simmer at all. I still want to run away from them the first chance I get.
I jumped a little in my seat when something fell into my lap. I looked down and saw a dessert staining my dress. "I - I am so sorry mam." I looked up at a waitress who looks like she's gonna piss herself. Her eyes widened with horror and she was trembling and sweating as she looked at the three men sitting around the table.
They are glaring hard at her as she now took the wasted dessert off my lap and tried to clean it. "It's fine." I gave her a small smile trying to assure her.
"Fuck off." Alec growled making her flinch back. She apologized again before literally running away from us.
I tried to wipe it with tissue before standing up from my seat, "I need to use the restroom."
Asher stood up, "I will take her." Edward and Alec nodded at him as he guided me to the restroom.
"Could you please stay out." I asked him for which he hesitated before nodding reluctantly like he doesn't want to do it but at the same time he couldn't say no to my request.
I walked inside and to the counter. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and sighed before wetting the paper towel. I now regret choosing this colour today. I am wearing a silver colour one shoulder dress.
As I was cleaning it, I heard someone coming out from one of the stalls behind me. I looked up at the mirror and my eyes locked with a dark skin woman who was coming towards me. I froze as she put her finger on her lips signalling me to keep quiet before giving me something that was wrapped up in paper. I just stood there dumbfounded as she signalled me to get inside the stall before walking out.
I locked myself inside the stall before unwrapping it. I frowned looking at the small mobile phone and the words written on the paper.
You don't know me but you can trust me when I say I can set you free from them. Use that mobile to call me when you are ready.
I froze as I took in the words. My anxiety hyped as I realised what was happening. I can get free from them? I don't know who this is and I'm definitely not gonna trust anyone let alone some unknown person.
But something inside me says to believe it and grab this one time golden opportunity. And I'm sure I'm not gonna get another chance like this until I die in my old age along with them. As of right now I'm definitely stuck with them forever considering my cowardice and lack of courage. I should-
I jumped up hearing a knocking sound followed by the rough voice calling my name. I roughly pulled my dress and tucked the small mobile into my panties without thinking much and flushed the paper into the toilet.
I opened the door and walked out of the restroom coming face to face with the tensed Asher.
"Sorry, I had to pee." I offered him a smile which made him relax instantly. "Shall we head home?" I nodded instantly, "yeah, sure."
...
I kept tossing and turning around on my bed as I thought about everything. How much my life has changed, how much I suffered, how much I had to put up with their mental and physical torture until now.
And then about them. How the three of them bond with each other, how the three of them have been forced to become this kind of human being by their father, how they struggled to be strong with their fucked up life and loss and how they are now living a loveless life.
It's not a secret to me that their life was not all roses and rainbows growing up. They would have become a wise gentleman if they had gotten good parents. But it doesn't justify that I have to suffer all of this along with them.
I don't want to be with them and I can decide what I want for my life. Yes that's it. I don't care whatever it takes to get my freedom back anymore, I am gonna get it no matter what.
With that determination I stood up and walked into the bathroom. Good thing, they let me have my own room. Though I struggle with sleep sometimes, I'm glad they let me have some privacy.
I opened one of the bottom drawers that had my least used necessities and I put my hand inside the corner digging for the phone I hid out a few hours ago. I grabbed the mobile phone and switched it on. It lightens up coming back to life.
I swiped through and stopped at the single contact that is saved in it. Well obviously, since it is a burner phone. My fingers hovered above the saved contact without a name and before I had a second thought I pressed the call button.
I know that I'm playing with a fire right now. They are just playing happy family with me right now thinking that I won't leave them but if they ever came to know that I tried to escape behind their backs then I'm going to go through hell back and front. They would surely bring me to the edge of my death.
The ringing goes on for too long and when I thought it was not gonna be answered, the ringing stopped. It was too quiet and calm. My voice was barely audible as I said,
"Hello?"
