Chapter 114Chapter 114-You are lying Fear
flashed across Melina‘s features and she took a quick step back as Elijah‘s voice rose and he started to
move closer, saying, “Where is my my wife?”
“I am in shock too about what just happened…"
Melina blurted, covering her mouth with a shaking hand, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at
him in horror.
“I am not trying to be manipulative, Elijah.
Please believe me…”
“This is not a fucking theater, Melina… Where.
The Hell Are They Going With My Wife?!”
“Elijah, you need to calm down now… Shouting at a pregnant woman will not change anything
“A Pregnant…Woman…?!”
A wild laugh that had no humor burst out from Elijah‘s lips as he stared incredulously at her for a couple
of seconds.
“You…you‘re serious…?"
Elijah laughed, looking between her and his men.
“This is bullshit… Tell me… Melina, look me in my damn eyes and tell me that all the shit you did just
now was not just some shitty act?!”The rise in his voice made her flinch.
Taking another step closer to her, Elijah lowered his voice to something softer, almost a whisper as he
spoke next to her ear, “You walked off, the day you divorce me with a man you were having sex with
while being married to me, and you expect me to be so damn stupid enough to… what?
Believe this nonsense?”
“We used protection.
You are the only one I was being bare with in bed, Elijah,"
Melina said softly, looking at her feet as she sniffled.
“I swear…”
Drunk with the feeling of frustration, Elijah glared at Melina, his face contorted into pure fury as he eyed
his men, and asked, “Larry, did you alert the others?”
“Yes, boss… We have men driving in the direction Dice sent us."
Larry answered, nodding at him.
Looking back at Melina right in time to meet her gaze, he frowned slightly and then stared back at
Larry, asking, “Where‘s your key?”
Immediately, Larry reached into his back pocket, and pulled it out, handing it over to Elijah.
“Let‘s go,"
Elijah ordered coldly as he stared at Melina, pressing the button on the key andmaking a black SUV light slowly flash to life.
“To where?"
Melina asked quietly, turning her head and staring at the black SUV.
“To find out how I am going to handle you.”
“What?! What are you talking about, Elijah?!”
Looking over to Larry, Elijah scowled as he commanded, “Take her bag.”
A look of confusion crossed Melina‘s face as she turned to see Larry reaching for her hand and
grabbing her bag off her shoulder, taking it off against her struggle.
“Elijah, what the hell has gotten into you?"
Melina yelled as she watched him focus on Larry and commanded, “Give me her phone,”
This side of him had her confused, and she just stood there, glaring at Larry, passing her phone over to
Elijah.
“Walk,"
Elijah ordered, meeting Melina‘s eyes for a second, not waiting for her to rebel as he left her and
approached the SUV.
Looking around at the fifty men, Melina‘s heart sank as she realized that she was trapped, unlike what
she thought was going to happen before the moment she approached Elijah and Peach.
Obediently, Melina followed after Elijah, and once he opened the door and sat behind the wheel, she
climbed into the front seat beside him without saying a word, knowing it wouldn‘t do any good to try andtalk with him in such a volatile state.
“Your seatbelt,"
Elijah commanded, starting the car engine.
Glaring at him angrily, Melina reluctantly fastened her seatbelt and sat there silently, feeling like the
man beside her was someone she never knew and had no idea how to deal with.
When she subconsciously glared outside the window, she realized that the ten SUVs in line were
getting occupied by Larry and the other men, and it confused her that these guys that calls Elijah,
“Boss,"
were riding cars that seemed to cost a fortune, and she knew him to be broke and a lowlife for years.
“Who are these guys, Elijah?"
Melina asked, glancing at him.
His jaws hardened as Elijah silently backed out of the parking space, and then he turned to her, his
face deadly serious as he looked at her, “Don‘t talk to me except you are using your voice to tell me
where my wife is.”
After those words, the ride was silent between them as Melina watched the view mirror, seeing five
SUVs behind Elijah’s car, and then looking ahead to see another five in front of them.
‘When did he get so important.‘ She wondered to herself.
‘When did he become a real fucking
man…‘After a couple of minutes, Elijah brought the SUV to a screeching halt in front of a building, and
Melina‘s face grew pale at the sight of the sign, “Diamond Grove Medical.”
“What are we doing here?"
Melina asked, looking at Elijah and watching as his jaw tensed even more.
“Get out of the vehicle,"
He replied, his voice dangerously quiet.
His expression told her that he wasn‘t joking, and that he meant business.
Frowning at him as he opened the door and left the car, Melina got out and quickly closed the door
behind her, watching as Elijah approached the entrance.
Then she looked behind to see that all his men had piled out of their cars, walking behind them, and
she felt extremely intimidated.
“What‘s going on?"
Melina whispered nervously, pushing the front door open and walking into the lobby.
“It was not supposed to happen like this.”
When Elijah got to the front desk, the nurse raised her head to smile at him, but her friendly expression
shifted into fear at the sight of the twenty–five men, standing a few distances behind him and Melina.
“Good… Umm… Good even–ing, Sir… What can I… do for you?"
The lady stuttered, her eyes scanning over every person standing around them until landing back on
Elijah.“I need to know if she‘s pregnant,"
Elijah replied, barely able to keep his cool as he eyed Melina.
Obviously taken aback by the question, she studied his face and could see genuine pain behind his icy
glare as she said, “But your wife could just buy the test–”
“She‘s not my wife!"
Elijah said, his voice low yet stern as he rested his palms on the countertop.
“But I need to know if she‘s pregnant or not.”
“Yessir.
novelbinPlease give me a moment."
The nurse said, picking up the phone.
Fifteen minutes later, the nurse escorted Elijah and Melina into an office, and fear crossed the doctor‘s
face when Larry and four other men entered the room while ten stayed outside the room.
“Elijah,"
The doctor blurted out, recognizing him since Melina had made him a known figure with her lies to the
media.
“Miss Haye?… How can I help you two?”
“I need you to confirm if she‘s pregnant or not."
Elijah said, his patience running thin with every passing second.Nodding frantically, the doctor darted his gaze and looked at Melina as he asked, “Did you do an at–
home test?”
A nervous chuckle left Melina‘s mouth as she nodded her head and then replied, “Yes,
Doctor…”
“Okay then… Since you are not satisfied with that result… I will do one myself…"
The doctor announced, looking back at Elijah.
Seeing that she was cornered in a place where she couldn‘t do anything but wait for it to all fall apart,
Melina looked at Elijah, testing the water as she cried, “This is absurd.
I am not asking you to step up to the plate or anything, okay?… I am exhausted and I just want to go
home.”
Hearing the sadness in her voice, the doctor looked at Elijah, wondering if he would have a change of
heart.
But his eyes grew cold as they locked with the doctor‘s as he said calmly, “Do the damn test.”
Seeing that there were a couple of stone–cold–faced men standing in the room with them, the doctor
knew he didn‘t want the consequences of being told something twice.
During the entire time was going through the procedure for the test, Melina was shaking and nervous,
but she couldn‘t speak her mind because Elijah was watching her and the doctor the entire time, except
when she went to the doctor‘s bathroom for her urine sample.
A while later, as they waited for the result, Melina eyed Elijah and when he subconsciously looked her
way, she whispered with sad eyes, “I feel so violated.”But he broke his gaze from hers as he twirled his wedding band, a sense of worry eating at him, and
the fear of losing Peach overwhelmed him as he looked down at the floor and took deep breaths,
keeping his eyes there for a couple of minutes.
“Sir, the results…"
The doctor said hesitantly.
Raising his gaze, Elijah nodded his head, looked up at the doctor, and said, “Let me hear it?”
“Well… Umm… the thing is… Hmm… Miss Hayes is not pregnant."
The doctor said, looking down at the paper he read off, as Elijah stared at the doctor.

“What?!"
Melina shouted, glaring at the doctor in shock, her anger, and frustration evident in
her tone.
“I am so sorry, Miss Hayes, but you are not pregnant.”
“You are lying… But the home test said that.”
“I know.
But even though home pregnancy tests can be up to 99% accurate, in some instances, they may
produce a false–positive result.”Tears filled her eyes as Melina started sobbing loudly, her hand covering her mouth as she cried out,
“So you mean I am not going to be a mother?”
Immediately, Melina‘s body trembled as she leaned forward and rested her head on the desk, sobbing
so hard snots were coming from her nose and she had to sniff them away several
times.
Seeing the distraught look in her eyes, Elijah reached forward and patted her on the shoulder, and
when Melina felt his hand on her, she rushed into his arms, weeping uncontrollably as he held her
close, stroking her hair.
‘What the hell, boss?‘ Larry thought, glaring at Elijah.
