Chapter 64. Alone Time

Ellie's POV

I woke up with a heavy heart. I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from crying all night. 

I still can’t believe that this is all happening. I can’t believe the person I entrusted my heart to broke it again for the second time. 

I regret meeting him. 

My phone rang. It's the phone we gave to the twins. 

“Hello?” 

“Mommy! Where are you? Why are you not staying in the house? Are you with dad?” Amelia asked. 

My eyes started to well up again. “I... I was at your grandparents’ mausoleum. I dreamt of them and they said that they missed me. So I might stay here for a while.”

“What will happen to us then? Dad is still in the hospital. And you are staying at grandma's and grandpa’s mausoleum,” Amelia asked. Her voice sounds so sad. 

I bit my lower lip. I’m sorry my children. I can’t meet you right now. I’m feeling devastated and I might not be able to hide it
