Ella Marcus
(Kristen London West)
POV
It was around 5:45 a.m the next morning... praying I was Ella the nerd again... But when I looked around the room I knew I wasn't in my crappy apartment, I was in Kristen's luxurious room... I got up... And walked downstairs... I stopped when I heard voices... I hid behind the wall so they wouldn't see me. I peak at them hoping they wouldn't see me.
"What do you mean she seems different?" I heard Blakes voice
"Mr Blake, she screamed yesterday morning I went to check on her and she was looking in the mirror, she was startled when I asked her if she was okay... She said yes and asked me to send you a message to come home from your business trip..." Mr Martin says
"That doesn't explain how she's different Mr Martin..." Blake mutters
"She hadn't shouted at any of the maids, and she had made her own supper..." Mr Martin said
I would need to explain Kristen sudden change I might have to fake amnesia sooner than I thought.
The was a long silence before Blake spoke up...
"When was the last time she spoke to Miss Manning?" Blake asked as if he was contemplating something her purses his lips.
"Mrs West had asked us to tell Miss Manning she's out of the county sir" he replied
"Keep that woman away from Kris, I don't need her knowing about Miss Manning's plan" Blake says softly but I still heard him
"Yes sir" Mr Martin nods
Blake was to speak on, but he had spotted me watching him
"Kris..." He had called out to me longingly. I could see it in his eyes he wanted to hug me. I could see how much he loved this woman who wasted his love.
I took a deep breath and walked up to him...
I gave him a hug... I felt him stiffen
"Hubby you're home" I said as I smiles sweetly.
"Kris?" He said almost scared...
I step back from him... I grab his hand and pull him to the kitchen...
I make him sit...
"Hubby sit... I'm making you breakfast its Valentines day" I say running around the kitchen island...
"Are you tired" I ask him while taking out the ingredients
"Kris have you forgiven me?" He asks cautiously
"For what?" I ask extremely puzzled
He sighs deeply... "I'm sorry Kris... I-I Never mind... I'm just happy to see you smiling I haven't seen that smile since Hera" he says
Who's hera??? Who the hell is Hera there wasn't a Hera in the movie... Is this one of the secrets in the novel?
"Hera?" I ask...
"Our daughter Hera" He says looking at me confused...
The shock on my face must have sent off alarm bells in his mind... Because he stood up and came up to me... I stood there frozen in shock a this man was checking every inch of my body...
"Kris are you okay?" he asks worriedly holding my shoulders.
I need to play this cool...
"Just a slight headache I'm okay..." I say
"You sure? Because you didn't seem to remember Hera" he says worriedly
"I was just confused... I'm okay Blake... I promise I'm okay." I say
But he looked unconvinced. I knew I needed to act fast. I needed to fake falling down a flight of stairs so he doesn't suspect me.
"Let me cook breakfast finished and then we'll exchange gifts" I say
He gives me a tight smile and returns to his seat.
I continue to make breakfast for us. My mother's famous raspberry pancakes. Mine wasn't as great as hers so I hope it's at least edible.
I make the batter and happily fix up everything.
Once it's done I plate it and give the pancakes to Blake.
"Here try it" I say giving it to him.
He takes the fork slowly as if he doesn't trust my cooking.
I grab the fork out of his hand and grabbed a piece and stuffed it in his mouth.
He chewed. But remained mute. It felt like hours before he was done.
"So how was it? Was it good? Did you like it?" I ask excitedly jumping up and down.
He slowly nods. "It's actually good. I didn't know you had an interest in cooking Kris" He says eyeing me suspiciously.
"I-I I get bored at home so I watched a cooking show, yes I watched a cooking show that's where I saw it" I said, I was a stuttering mess.
I knew I had to come up with a plan and fast. He continued to eat. And i excused myself I was walking up the stairs when it hit me, what if I faked falling down the stairs. That way I would ensure my safety and that way I could pretend to be hurt. I would win his favour without raising suspicion. I could also figure out that the hell is going on. So they had a daughter named Hera, I'm pretty sure Hera meant queen. The girl had a strong name. What had happened to their daughter?
But what gets me is why she wasn't staying with them if she was alive? Was Kristen an unfit mother? Did she hurt the girl? How old was their daughter? I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't realise I had missed a step. And came tumbling now. My head hit the banister.
Everything went blank.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
But then I opened my eyes.
I had a baby in my arms. I felt tears run down my face. When I looked at child.
I felt as if I had just lost a big part of me.
"Oh Hera, oh my sweet little girl. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I didn't know what they had in store for you little one. One day I promise to explain everything to you. My sweet little girl do not ever forget how much I love you. I will miss you sweetheart..." I heard Kristen's voice say.
It felt as if these were memories. I watched the scene. I saw Blake walk in and Kristen's attitude changed completely. I felt an explicable about of disappointment, sadness and frustration rise within me.
"Kay its time." he says
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Everything when blank again. And I opened my eyes. I noticed I was in Kristen's bedroom. My head hurt, my neck hurt, hell everything hurt.
"You're awake?" I hear Blake say. He sounded relieved.
This was my chance I need to fake amnesia now or I'll lose my chance
"What happened to me?" I ask softly
"You fell down the stairs Kris are you feeling okay?" he asks
"Who is Kris?" I ask acting confused
"You are? Kris what's going on?" he asks
"Where am I? Who are you?" I ask faking panic. I move away from him when he moves closer.
"I'll call the doctor" He says leaving the room
