The Commander’s Pregnant Wife - v2 Chapter 23

Leila and Emily were now detained in the so called ‘storage room’. Leila observed the place. Contrary to what they had expected earlier, this room is different to the first room where they had awakened in, earlier that morning.

This room seems to be an office before as it has some old furniture inside such as a table and some chairs. It was small and seems to be only about twenty square meters. There is a small window on the side but, it’s size could barely able to fit a person, maybe it could but, that person has to have a very petite stature to enter that window and to add some security towards Leila and Emily’s thought of escaping, the kidnappers even surrounded it with round bars. So, in short, their way to escape from that room is close to nil.

The room was also filled with cobwebs and dust and it was a miracle that they could still breathe here even though the area is filled with filth.

As there is a light inside the room, after Leila observed her surroundings, she then checked herself from any injury and even checked if Emily is also fine.

Leila has a lot of things she wants to ask to Emily. If at first she was hesitating but now, as her life is now really in danger, she has to know what this thing is all about. If it were before, it was fine if she losses her life but now, she must survive for the sake of the unborn child growing inside her.

After a few moments of silence, before Leila could ask her question, Emily started to talk.

“I know, you have a lot of questions inside your mind right now”, Emily started as she sighed deeply.

‘Yes I do, especially that part about Sheila and why the heck your ex-husband did kidnapped us’, Leila thought in her mind. Though she didn’t voice out her opinion but Emily could see the confusion written in her face.

“Sheila…is my twin sister and….she was supposed to be Alexander’s wife”, Emily said slowly. Then after that, she bowed her head lowly as if contemplating how to tell Leila about it.

Leila has a shock expression written on her face.

“It was a long story”, Emily said as she sighed deeply.

Leila stayed silent as she listened to Emily while she is narrating her story.

Sheila is Emily’s twin sister which is a few minutes older than her. Being the eldest, Sheila has to bear the burden of the family to marry Alexander which also comes from an equally powerful family like them. It was only a political engagement but, Sheila has to do it as it was what the elders of their family planned for her.

Sheila and Emily only found out about that said engagement when they were both twenty years old. But, the problem is, Sheila already love someone. She was against it greatly that she even threatened her family to commit suicide but, their family only locked her up in her room and has a maid and a bodyguard that guard her room and every exit point that she’ll have.

Emily loves her sister so much that she wants to give her everything that makes her happy. While seeing her sister desperately wants to go out, she took pity on her and helped her by seeking Alexander and begged him to renounce their sister’s engagement.

Emily thought that she made the right decision but, it turns out that it is the biggest mistake she’ll make in her life. That time she said that since they do not love each other so why should they ruin their happiness so, he should renounce their engagement and be with someone that will love him dearly. Emily thought he would agree but she never thought that he loves her sister dearly and his obsession for her is huge.

Emily told him that time that that her sister already love someone else that he should set her free. But, it was a mistake on her part as that time she didn’t know that her sister’s relationship with her man is discreet and once it was found out by their family all hell will broke loose.
