Chapter Forty
<Elijah>
The bastard! Not only had he stolen My Precious Love from me, he'd killed Benjamin! My best friend and favorite butler! The man had practically raised me after my parent's died! I swear, once I find that man, he will pay for his sins! He deserved far worse than death...
And I would ensure that he got exactly what was coming to him.

The only thing that kept me going was knowing that I carried Eli's baby within my womb. I would live for our baby. I would live and I would find a way to escape from the lunatic that Leon had become. I shivered as I remembered the pain of yet another bite he'd placed upon my body last night.
And the scars.. He'd told me he had done it to himself! A punishment for leaving me, for hurting me, for not keeping his promise to stay with me. The man was insane! I didn't want to be with him! I wasn't the same person I had been all that time ago, back when I thought I had loved him.
I'd been deluded, washed away by the feelings of first love. But it had been nothing but a foolish crush. I'd learned what real love was at the hands of someone other than Leon. But he seemed unable to accept that. He was insistent that I would come to love him again.
My heart already belonged to someone else. Someone that was precious to me, in a way Leon would never understand. I missed the soft touches of my beloved Elijah.
Please Eli, please come back to me. I need you so very much.

She would come to love me again. I refused to give up on her this time. I'd already failed her once and I would NOT FAIL HER AGAIN! I slammed my fist into the table.
What would it take to make her love me again? Couldn't she tell how much I needed her? She was as necessary to my life as the air I breathed.Grabbing the plate of fish, fruit and salad, I began the walk to her bedroom.
It was time to feed her and she needed something more filling and healthy than soup this time. Besides, fish was good for brain development. Although judging by how fast her stomach was growing, I was starting to get the feeling I should increase the size of her meals again.
I wonder if we would be having twins. I could only hope.

Finally, they finally released me from the hospital. Do the fools not realize how much precious time they had wasted? My Love has been waiting for me after all. And it wasn't polite to leave a princess waiting. Glancing out the window of the cafe, I quietly drank my water as 'All I Ask Of You' began playing through my earbuds.
Taking one last sip, I stood up and walked out of the building. Time to begin the hunt.
