Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Cuhen climbed up and went straight to the tree after tired of swimming. He punched it hard. Damn! At these times, he needs to express his anger. He was still irritated by the woman's sudden change. When he got home, his fist was bleeding.

They ran into each other as he was about to enter the house. As she looked at his bleeding wound, he noticed her frown and raise an eyebrow.

He was not in any pain. Since the deaths of two important people in his life, his entire body has been numb. But why does he already experience a strange pain whenever Ellah avoids him?

Ellah, he expected, would approach him, but she simply turned around and went upstairs to her room. He sighed as he climbed the stairs to his own room. Yes, his body is tired, and he can sleep on it.

He sagged on the bed, unclothed, and silently stared at the ceiling. When he felt the door open, he was in such a state. He didn't move an inch. He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He could hear Ellah's footsteps approaching him. He was fortunate to have a blanket over him, but he could see that his manhood was wide awake. Because it has a mind of its own, he has difficulty controlling it at times.

When he heard the maiden sigh, she sat up on the bed slightly. After a few seconds, he felt her hands caress his cheek, as she had done before, but he just let her do it while pretending to be asleep. She touched his chin and wanted to shout with delight, but he controlled himself.

Then she felt a bullet wound on his shoulder. What Kleve gave him. His wound doesn't hurt him. Moments later, he felt her aid his shoulder wound and replace it with a new bandage, then carefully follow his wounded fist. To stop the bleeding, she carefully cleaned the wound and wrapped it in a bandage.

With those simple gestures of the girl, it felt like a few thousand needles pierced his heart, and he wanted to hug her too tightly. Why is he in pain rather than joy? He was scared shitless.

He held back from embracing her because one of his hands was numbed. He was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with himself.

"I don't want to see you like that, even though I'm disgusted by your appearance. You would have been very attractive... but I'm sure Azael would have been more attractive..." And she stood up straight and walked out of his room, leaving him alone.

What the fuck?!

He rose quickly, but he was greeted by the door. Fuckkkk! Ellah can't stand his hopeless cousin, who's hopelessly in love with his own sister! He is going to kill Azael! This will not allow it.

AS she walked into her room, Ellah simply rolled her eyes. Cuhen was just grateful because she loved him, but every time she saw his handsome face, she was disgusted and the pleasure of kicking his face until he ran away crying. She would not have approached it and treated it if he hadn't had a wound and a bleeding hand.

She didn't eat anything else that day because she didn't want to vomit. She also had no intention of informing Cuhen, and it appeared from his actions that he was unaware that she was pregnant with their child. That was fine; she didn't want anyone else to know. She'd like to express her gratitude to Dr. Hayes and Azael for keeping her pregnancy a secret from Cuhen.

She, too, will leave this island one day. She was simply waiting for the right moment to flee. She becomes irritated and angry whenever she sees Cuhen's face, so before she can yell at him, she needs to get out of there, and the question is how she will do so.

Two weeks had passed. Her head has always been burning, and Cuhen was the one she piled on. She always hit him if she wasn't slapping him. The only thing that amazes her is that he doesn't complain or put up with the aggression like he used to. He will simply calm down and move away, but as he does so, she loses even more anger. So she walks out looking pretty and doesn't leave her room for the rest of the day. She would only come out if she felt Cuhen was gone or if it went downstairs to its private resort, which had already begun to open and was being visited by many high-profile people.

And, as far as she knows, Cuhen will travel to Pennsylvania to watch his cousin play hockey. Cuhen wanted her to accompany him, but she was hesitant to say yes. What exactly is she going to do there? And, one more thing, she was overjoyed at the prospect of Cuhen's departure. That meant she was the only person on the island, which was a fantastic idea for her.

“Damn! I'm not going to be able to leave her alone. Fuck you, dude! I'll see you on the court next year. Bye.”

When she heard his cellphone conversation, she raised her brows and turned away from her. Bullshit! Did she expect it to leave this week?

She marched into her room without saying anything, while Cuhen dashed out the door when she received another call. She didn't know who had called him on the phone anymore, and she was sick of knowing that.

She was so bored lying on the bed for hours that she nearly fainted when she saw Azael climb out the window, laugh, and jump in front of her.

"Hello, Ellah!"

God! She thinks this person will give her heart attack! She was so agitated that she threw the pillow at the man, who just laughed and sat on the couch in her room. She was just sitting comfortably, and it appeared that the madman was plotting something new. She stood up and raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing here, and did you really go through the window? Are you a Tarzan?" She locked her gaze on him.

"Relax, Ellah! I've got a plan." He says this while grinning like an asshole.

"Are you going to help me escape? Yay!" Her eyes glowed brightly.

He laughed and seemed surprised by her reaction. He was still dismayed and couldn't believe what she had said to him. "Damn Ellah, do you want my cousin to murder me?"

"You can't help me then," she grumbled. I might hit your head if you don't leave!"

"Oh, hey-hey! Easy woman! I still want to start a family. If it's just you and Cuhen, it's inequitable."

She fixed her gaze on him. Is anyone aware that she is pregnant?

Azael smiled. "I know you're pregnant and that you absolutely love my cousin. I can see it in your eyes and actions the day I stepped here, and there is no denying your love," he became serious and stared at her intently. "But in today's situation, you are confused because you don't know where you are going in Cuhen's life. Whether he loves you, or if he just feels sorry for you."

She was deafeningly quiet and averted her gaze. She is currently in pain, according to her feelings. She paid no attention to what Azael said. She was well aware of this, and she had long suspected that Cuhen would be unable to love her because his heart remained with the woman he adored. That is why she did not reveal her pregnancy, and she is also grateful that herrence and Azael did not inform Cuhen of her pregnancy. She didn't want the child to be the reason she remained in his life. Cuhen should love her if she stays, but that seems impossible for her.

"Do you believe Cuhen loves you?"

"I don't know," she shook her head at Azael. "I know she love Dr. Florae, so I know he can't love me. He can't possibly love me." Sadness drew on her face, but when she remembered Cuhen's annoying face, her brows met.

She had no idea why her blood was boiling over that man. She hopes that this isn't what she's thinking. She didn't want their child to resemble him. It's especially unfair because she's the one who's carrying the baby.

"Would you like to help me escape here again?" he asked, "I can easily escape you because Cuhen is now in Manila. His main company was having a major problem, and he was desperately needed despite the fact that he was the owner."

Her eyes shone with joy as she let out a gasp. Azael told her it looked good, and she was overjoyed. Then she'll be able to leave this place.

"I will help you escape not so that I can take you away from her, Ellah, but so that you can find out if he loves you as much as you love him. We'll see what Cuhen can do when he returns home and sees you're not on the island." It burst out laughing. Someone appeared to be thinking this nonsense, but she liked his suggestion.

That's right. When she leaves, she'll see if Cuhen will also look for her or if he truly loves her, "Game! That appeals to me."

"You're dead, Cuhen!" he exclaimed, his eyes rolled with joy. He laughed again and walked around the middle of the room, as if thinking of something he could do. "Because he burned down a rest house of mine in Tagaytay that I just bought, I can retaliate by assisting you in escaping. I can't wait!"

Ellah was taken aback when she heard, "Wait, what burned?" She's not sure if these two are really cousins. Are their ideas complicated?

"Ignore it. Now all we have to do is run! ”

She had no idea what happened next as long as she knew she had already joined Azael. Its motorboat was parked on the opposite side of the island, they passed through a cave, and the shortcut was the sea, which had already exposed them. She'd seen it on the map before, but she didn't think she'd be able to navigate it with this man.

"This is fantastic, Ellah. Hooh! Of course, the plan is to flee from Cuhen. In Russia, I have a place he can't step on again. You are welcome to visit my rest house..."

"How come he can't step on Russia again?" What's going on? She was getting ready to board the motorboat.

"Florae and Cuhen used to go on vacation in Russia, and I believe four years ago, their vacation house caught fire while Florae was inside. She nearly died, and half of his fiancée's body was burned; luckily, money had wings, and her body was restored to normal." It then started operating the motorboat. "Cuhen had a phobia then, and Florae was also hospitalized for a few months. That is why Cuhen refuses to visit Russia. ”

“Really?" Her brow furrowed.

"That man is insane; even the quiet place he cursed all his life not to visit again, so if you notice... no company or business was built in Russia by that idiot; that idiot loves Florae so much that he is willing to erase the things that hurt Florae from the world."

She smirked, "That's a minor reason. What a childish he is!" she snorted, appalled at her own feeling that she was jealous of the bereaved woman. Cuhen loves Florae, so it's a given that he will genuinely love her.

Funny! What is Azael thinking... At least she wants to get away. She knew in herself that her love for Cuhen would never be paid back. She could never replace Florae's space in Cuhen's heart. Only Florae will remain and remain the only one he will love, and she is mothing.

She was able to leave the Philippines without spending a single peso or buying any clothes because Azael simply took her on his private plane, which was obviously ready to fly to Russia that day.

This is it! She is now free... But her heart suddenly feels empty. No! She is annoyed with Cuhen and it doesn't love her so she does it well. She just wonders if the two are really best friends and cousins and it looks like they are killing each other backwards. She just shrugged the thoughts off and let it go, she didn't care.

When they arrived at Azael's rest house after a long journey, it was fully equipped, close to the sea and far from civilization, with everything from maternity clothes to food ready. It appears that it really prepared everyone that she was going to be there in Russia.

She was accompanied by a Filipina who was a few years her older... Azael hired a maid to accompany her to stay there. The rest house is large and she won't get bored. She was given a cellphone and only Azael's number was saved in case she needed anything.

He also left her with some cash and a credit card in case she wanted to buy and squander.

She was very tired from the trip, but she felt it was all gone because she thought she was far away from Cuhen when she looked out on the balcony and sniffed the fresh air. Then she touched her stomach and smiled. To whom will her baby inherit beauty? She believes her baby is a boy.

"Do you want me to make you something to eat, Ma'am?" The maid opened the door for her.

When she turned around, she said, "Call me Ellah..." with a smile.

The maid nodded and went to the kitchen to clean up before deciding to rest in the room Azael had brought her; the room was large and the bed was soft, so she didn't realize she had fallen asleep right away.
