Here&#039;s the next chapter. *Elena Ramos looked at the reflection of herself in the mirror and sighed since she didn’t like what she saw. Elena had always been a skinny girl who had grown up to be a stunning woman. Normally she looked almost like a model with her dark brown hair and brown eyes and the best thing about her was that she wasn’t even aware of how beautiful she was. Looks normally didn’t matter to her, brains did. Then again it was easy to take looks for granted when you looked like Elena. She was just one of those girls who could eat a lot of junk food and it never went to her hips. But not even girls like Elena could avoid looking fat when they were heavily pregnant. The baby bump on her stomach was so big that it looked like it could burst at any minute. Whoever was in there would soon be with them and Elena had chosen not to find out if she was having a boy or a girl. She wanted to be surprised. Regrettably for Elena there was also the matter of the baby’s paternity. Elena had slept with three men within two months and she had wanted to find out who the father of her baby was. But unfortunately for her the doctor hadn’t recommended her to take a paternity test before the baby was being born. So Elena had walked around in anguish ever since she first found out that she was expecting 7 months ago.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It had been a horrible night for Elena. Not only had she found out that she was having a baby. But she had also believed that she’d lost the man she’d been in love with since she was a teenager. She’d been so distraught after finding out that she was pregnant that she hadn’t even noticed that Christopher had moved the car from the spot where they had parked it. So when the car had exploded right before her eyes she had been convinced that she’d lost the love of her life. It had felt so cruel, first her brother Drew had been killed by the Mendez Orchilla cartel and then the same Mexican cartel had tried to kill Christopher. It was lucky for Christopher that it had been so dark out that night that the man who was hired to kill him had mistaken another man for being him. Yet the memories of that night had kept haunting her in her nightmares.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; She had been walking towards the car when the explosion had happened. The sheer force of it was so powerful that it hit her to the ground and if it had happened a couple of seconds later it surely would have killed her. At first she couldn’t believe what she was witnessing since she had thought that things like this only happened in war zones. She’d never felt more scared or alone in her life than in the moment when she’d gotten up on her legs again. Staring at the burning car in disbelief she’d realized that the cartel had killed Christopher and that’s when she’d gone hysterical calling out his name. “CHRISTOPHER!” She’d taken a step towards the burning vehicle almost like if she’d been hoping against hope that he would somehow have made it out of the car before the explosion, “CHRISTOPHER!” She’d yelled out her despair and heartbreak into the night air and when there was no reply a car had driven off. “NO! NO!” CHRISTOPHER!” She’d called out for him one more time, as her hands went up to cover her mouth and the tears rolled down her cheeks. “NO!” She’d called out into the night, feeling more alone and afraid than ever. But then like out of nowhere a car had driven up and that was when she heard him calling back to her. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “ELENA!”His voice had been filled with fear and as she turned around she had seen Christopher jump out of their car and run towards her. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; She’d been nailed to the ground for a split second before her legs moved and he had swept her up inside of his arms, “Oh My God! Christopher! I thought you were dead!” She had sobbed against his shoulder. “I thought the cartel had killed you and that it was all my fault.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Hush, it’s alright, I’m right here.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know but I saw the car explode and I thought you were in it,” Elena cried, before she gave Christopher a confused look. “Didn’t we park it here?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “We did but when I got back out I realized we were out of ethanol and since this place didn’t have anything but gas and truck diesel I decided to fill it up at the other gas station further down the street.” &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Looking at her boyfriend in disbelief she put two and two together, ”You took off without me?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I’m sorry I...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No don’t be, you’re alive and that’s all that matters. I love you Christopher.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I love you too Elena,” he’d said before he had given her the most wonderful kiss. “Now let’s get out of here!” He had told her before they had hurried to get inside of the car and driven off before whoever had placed the bomb in that car found out that he had killed the wrong man. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; That’s what really had happened. But in her nightmares everything had gone dark after the car exploded and she had died in the explosion. She’d found herself falling in darkness unable to wake up. In her nightmares she had been the one who had died and it was true that a part of her had died that night. All her innocence was gone now and she had almost killed a man she thought she had loved. Joaquin had been her childhood friend and she had thought that she knew him. But he had deceived her. She should have known that he wasn’t the same. After all he had changed his name to Nicolas Trevino and gotten mixed up with the wrong people. So that should have been a clue. He was also married and once she had found out about that she hadn’t ended it with him like she should have. No instead she had willingly had an affair with a married man. She had sunk lower than she’d ever thought she could sink last year. But she had been blinded by revenge and had been broken inside. That’s why she’d acted so stupid and her stupidity had almost cost her the man she really loved.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Are you ready to go?” Christopher’s voice brought her back to the present.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Not really,” she turned to Christopher looking afraid. “Are you sure that it’s okay if you go to your uncle’s funeral?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes, I’ve talked to George at the CIA and he’s gotten a positive ID on the dental records, so it really was Nicolas Trevino who died in that plane crash last month.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh,” Elena made a face.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I’m sorry I knew you loved him,” Christopher said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Elena’s face hardened, “No the boy I loved has been dead for years. But...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You’re thinking about the baby?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah,” Elena sighed. “What if the baby isn’t yours?” Elena spoke aloud what they both feared, “Will you still love me then?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Christopher grimaced, “Elena I’m not gonna lie to you, I want this baby to be mine so badly. But if Nicolas is the father...” Christopher shrugged his shoulders, “He is dead so we can still raise him or her as ours.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah. I really hope that you are the father, but...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; “What?” He asked, feeling alarmed by the way she’d just said that.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “There’s something I haven’t told you,” Elena said biting her lip.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh?” Christopher raised an eyebrow, wondering if something bad was to come and as it turned out he was right to worry. “Come on whatever it is, you can tell me!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Yet her next words shook him to the core of his being, “I slept with John Ross...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “It was right after Drew had died,” she tried to excuse her behavior, “I was vulnerable...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So you’re telling me that John Ross might be the father of your baby?” Christopher said in an angry tone of voice when the penny finally dropped.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes,” Elena admitted.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Why didn’t you tell me this before?”&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I’m sorry I know I should have but I never found the right time to tell you!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So you chose the moment before we’re going to my uncle’s funeral?” He yelled at her as he was really upset about this.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Christopher I’m sorry. Forget I said anything,” she yelled pleadingly. “Let’s just go to the funeral and...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No Elena, you just stay home!” He pointed his finger angrily at her. “I don’t want you to come with me.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But Christopher we need to talk about this...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “There’s nothing to talk about, now if you’ll excuse me I have a funeral to go to!” Christopher yelled before he brushed past her and Elena broke down in tears. Sure she hadn’t wanted to attend Cliff Barnes funeral. He was after all the reason why she’d ever found out that the Ewings had robbed her father out of his land. She could see now that Cliff had used her as a pawn in his game to avenge the Ewings and she had danced after his pipe. Being so blinded by hatred that she hadn’t been able to see straight. So she had broken up with Christopher and that’s how she’d gotten into this mess. If she hadn’t there would be no question about the paternity of her unborn child. But now there was and it left Elena feeling completely miserable.</blockquote>
