Chapter 111

Ella

Buzz….. Buzz….. Buzz….

Groaning at the annoying little sound do I move to grab my phone. My phone silently buzzing as I move to check the time. My hand carefully moving to grab it only to pause.

My once tired eyes soon catching multiple messages from an unknown number. My babies beginning to stir by kicking me while Caleb continued to sleep within the bed. My curiosity getting the better of me as I move to sit up slowly within the bed.

The time reading 9 in the morning. My mind now annoyed at having been woken up. My fingers quick to unlock my phone only to pause. My eyes beginning to widen upon reading all of the messages.

My heart racing as I continued to read what was now along my phone. Tears beginning to rise as I will myself to put down the phone, that what I was seeing was wrong. All wrong.

Yet, no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t pull my focus away. My focus still on the picture. A picture that would forever haunt me. A picture being one of Hannah and Dylan. My heart clenching at the sight.

The picture being one of Hannah who was currently pressed along side Dylan like she was his woman. My heart breaking into tiny pieces as Hannah placed her lips upon Dylan’s. A kiss that shouldn’t have happened. A kiss that was supposed to be mine.

My thoughts now racing at how Hannah could be there, and I couldn’t. How was I stuck being at home with Caleb while Reece and Dylan both went on business trips.

Two of my three men currently gone only for me to see that Dylan was with Hannah of all people. Tears now falling from my eyes as I move to jump from the bed. My stomach ready to hurl as I try to forget what I just saw. My phone instantly forgotten.

How could he? He said she didn’t mean anything to him. Why did he lie to me?

Upon reaching the bathroom do I instantly move to grab the toilet. My body quick to lean over it as I finally hurl. Tears still falling from within my eyes as I begin to sob violently. My sobs loud enough to wake Caleb. A part of me hoping they wouldn’t.

My mind still on the picture. My mind too focused on that to notice that I’m no longer alone. Nor do I notice or feel when a set of hands move to rub my back. Their hands making small circles as they do.

The person in question now trying to comfort me even as I sag against the bowl. My body done hurling as the arms move to scoop me into their warm strong arms before cuddling me. My hands moving to cling to them. Soft whispers soon filling the air as they allow me to cry.

Caleb

I’m not sure how long I’d been sleeping for but the sudden shift upon the bed instantly had me stirring. My body slowly waking up until I’m greeted by the sound of someone hurling within my bathroom.

Suddenly curious do I move to see who it was only to see Ella. Ella now sobbing into the bowl as she continued to hug it.

My heart twisting at the sight that greeted me.

The need to comfort her rising as I quietly move to make my way over to her. My hands carefully moving to rub her back. My hands soon moving in slow circular motions in which I hope will calm her down.

Unsure why she was crying in the first place. A need to know rising within me especially when we both had lots of fun the night before. Me fucking Ella and Ella then turning the table. Ella controlling the next round.

Ella soon pausing in her need to hurl as she now sags against the toilet. Her body still sobbing as I now move to hold her within my arms. Ella quick to cling to me as I move to cuddle her gently.

“Shh… it’s okay baby. It’s okay, tell daddy what’s wrong”

“C… Caleb….” cries Ella the longer she holds me.

“Yes baby girl?”

“Does Dylan….”

“Does Dylan what sweetheart?”

“Does he not love me anymore?”

At the sudden question of Dylan’s loyalty do I move to question her back. “What? Of course he does baby. We all do, very much so.”

“Then…. Then why did he lie to me?”

Confused by the statement do I try to probe for more. A need to know rising before she could think less of him. Especially because the three of us have been planning a romantic getaway that involved Ella. One that would involve us proposing to her.

“What do you mean baby? Why would you think he lied to you?”

“Because…. Because someone sent me multiple texts and pictures and in one of them was him and Hannah. And within it she was kissing him.”

Upon hearing Ella’s confession do I move to tense up slightly. My mind now trying to process what I just heard. Hannah? Impossible. Both Reece and Dylan are on a work trip. There’s no way she could have known where he was unless….

Freezing at the thought do I try not to think of the worst. That we possibly had a spy within our home. For the only people who knew of Dylan’s work trip along with Reece’s were only Ella and I along with Grant and Hayden. Both who were with Reece and Dylan as they were both their personal assistant and bodyguard.

So who’s the snitch?

Suddenly realizing I had yet to speak do I move to answer her back. “Are you sure it was Dylan and Hannah? Maybe you saw wrong?”

“No Caleb. I didn’t see wrong. I’d know Dylan anywhere. And he was clearly with her! Even after he promised me that he didn’t hold any romantic feelings for her, yet there they were kissing.”

“Whoa… easy baby. I didn’t say you were wrong here, but can you show me the picture? After all it is easy to modify a picture.”

Nodding her head does Ella move to answer yes. “Where is it baby?” I ask, the need to know rising so I could hopefully defend Dylan.

“On my phone”

“And where’s your phone?”

“Back in your room”

Humming softly do I move to carry our 25 week pregnant wife back towards the bed. Not wanting her to stress anymore than she already has. The need to see the picture rising.
