ELLIE's POV
I gasped in surprise when someone suddenly hugged me from behind. I was currently cooking dinner. I told the household helpers to retire early because I wanted to be the one to attend to my children's' needs. This is usually what I do everytime I visit them here because I wanted to make up for the days that I wasn't be able to be with them.
I was about to crane my head to see who it was when I felt him kissed my exposed nape and a hot and delicious sensation ran throughout my spine because of it. My hair was tied into a messy bun because it's I didn't want to it to being the way while I cook.
I didn't need to confirm who it was because of the reaction of my body. Besides, I already recognized him by his scent and warmth. Just by the way he hugged me already told me that it's Rex.
"Do you want me to help you here, querida?" He asked tenderly as he rested his chin on my shoulder while his arms tightened even more around my waist. He never changed at all. Even the way he hugs me was just like years ago. Possessive and full of affection.
He's strong arms were always possessive but the feeling to be enveloped in his tight embrace was out of this world that's why I couldn't help but get affected right now. He's being sweet and even if things between us haven't gone back to the way it was before yet, being in his arms and feeling his warmth against mine made me feel better.
That's always been the effect of his embrace on me ever since then.
But then, I suddenly remembered what he told me when we had a talk at the veranda. I felt the familiar pain that rose in my heart.
I knew that I was being irrational because I am feeling hurt, disappointed, deceived and jealous with the fact that Serena had him for the past two years but I couldn't help it. I told myself even before he haven't returned yet that I should be ready with the possibility that he might've been with other women these past five years that we haven't been together but just thinking about it was breaking my heart.
I couldn't control myself to get hurt with the fact that he had his share of flings or had a relationship with other women while me on the other hand kept my faith and hope that he would come back to me one day. I shed a lot of tears because of the thought of losing him in that fire but even so, I didn't give up and believed in him that he would come back to me.
Even though there were men who expressed their interest in me especially Maxime who's always been there for me; I couldn't love any of them because my heart remained loyal and faithful to him.
It's not that I was regretting that I didn't try to love another man these past five years now that I discovered what Rex did in the past couple of years because it was my own decision not to do so. I held onto his memories and stayed in love with him. Well, I did try to love Maxime but I couldn't continue deceiving myself into believing that I could love him one day because it's really hard to teach my heart who remained screaming for Rex.
I don't know why I'm hurting right now...Maybe, I was just expecting too much---that he didn't look at other women for the past five years. I couldn't accept that fact because it hurts so much, especially that he did it with Serena.
Of all people out there, he has to choose Serena...
I knew that I didn't have the right to question what he did in the past because of all the things that happened but it's really making me insane just by thinking about it. It's ripping my heart out.
