Two is enough

Milena's POV

I don't have a car at the hotel and I haven't thought much about it since all I did for the past two days was get fucked in every possible position. I didn't know Julian had a high sex drive until he tosses me for two days to knock some senses into me and as shocking as it was, my sex drive matches his.

That's a relief.

Anyway, I'm at the entrance thinking of getting one of Idris hotel cars to take home. I mean we should be entitled to a private ride. Jules stays in the most expensive floor in the building. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.

Luckily, Idris is by the pool sniffing something and I roll my eyes then walks to his direction. My heels must have gave me away as he quickly tuck whatever he was snuffing away then turned around.

" Milena, Is something wrong?" Beside the fact that he takes substances, there's a pungent smell of cigarettes in the air and by the smell of it _its a lot. I'm not surprised though.

" Yeah and I think you can solve it. It's not difficult. I need one of the hotel's cars " I point out as he sniffles looking away from me.

" Sure. Anything for you. You do know we're family right? " He asks , dipping his hand in his pants pocket then brings out a bunch of keys from it.

" Remind me, how we're related again"

" You're married to my cousin"I narrow my eyes at him failing to see his point. I pretty much know Julian's cousins.

" Your cousin?" He scoffs probably aware of what I feel about the situation. He tosses me a key smirking at me.

" Wipe the smirk off your face. It doesn't suit you" I tell him, making my way to the car park.

"Yeah but others will like to disagree"

" Smokers and drug addicts are liable to die young. That shit is going to kill you someday. I feel sorry for your parents" he didn't reply and I thought he didn't hear me but I was wrong because he's grabbing my hands before I know what's happening.

" Who told you that?" He looks frightened, scared and angry that I caught him. I yank my hands away from his hold but his stern face remains.

"Then don't do it in public. I'm sure everyone saw you and yes, I'm telling Julian about it. There's nothing you can do to change my mind" he scrunches up his faces as I chuckle. I like that I can still render people speechless. I pat his shoulder then walked away.

By the time I got home _ I mean Damian's house, Isabella's car was just leaving the house. I watch it disappear from my sight before I alight from the car. The excruciating pain I have been running from returns as I recall her vulgar comments. Tears poll at my eyes but I blink them away. I'm a strong woman. I don't shed tears. I have never cried over anyone except Julian and Isa obviously but I'll like to stop there.

Two is enough.

The gardener, gatekeeper and a few maids in the compound ran to greet me which I acknowledged by the way. It's unlike me I know but it doesn't hurt to do so.

Be nice to people.

I don't bother to look around cos as I stand in front of the front door waiting for the door man to open the door, a feeling of sadness engulfed me. I don't know why but I suddenly want to go back to lying naked in Julian's bed while he pummel into me. I'd prefer such ethereal pleasure to the pain I'm feeling right now.

The pain of betrayal.

Nothing I don't deserve but it still hurts. It hurts so much.

" Why are you back?" Dad ask as soon as the door opens. He didn't let me in. That's when I realized Isa was telling the truth. He'd sell me.

" I have to work. Step aside , I want to go in" I tell him sarcastically but he stays put. His hands are crossed on his chest and his ever judging gaze are on my face, scrutinizing me. I will be pushing him out of the way, if he isn't a very bulgy man with extremely broad shoulders that I find difficult to shove at no matter what.

" Isa. I'm here to talk about Isabella" Dad's defensive pose tenses and all I can see in his eyes are remorse and regret. Wait, is it what I'm thinking?

" Your mother is around. Perhaps next time" he says then shuts the door in my face. I blink quite surprised to witness that but what bothers me the most is the regret in his eyes.

What did he do?

Why is he scared to talk about Isa?

Is she who I'm thinking she is but how? Isabella and I grew up together. Yes, my mom couldn't conceive after her but that's it. I have to know at least pretend like I did.

I knock again and again until someone eventually opens the door and that person is my mom. She embraces me as soon as she sees me and I find myself relieved to know she wasn't like my father but my smile faded when I realized she was in on it too.

" Honey, look who the cat dragged here. It's Milena" She shouts so my Dad will hear but he doesn't come out but he said something.

" Tell the cat to take her back to her husband's house. That's where she belongs" mom stiffens but laughs_ her way of saying my dad is being sarcastic. Can't she see through him? I guess that's what love does to you. It turns you into a fool like I have become with Julian. Huff.

" Don't mind him. He's having a bad day. Isabella has been bugging him lately. Come inside. This is your home, always"

" Thanks mom" I say hopefully

" Where's Leonard? " my face falls as soon as she says that. It shouldn't matter considering how devastated I feel already but it does.

I'm disappointed in her so I turned around and help myself out. She's just like dad if not worse. I can't stand her pretense. I guess I'll see dad in his office tomorrow to finish our conversation. He's not going to escape it. I refuse to be left in the dark .

" Miley, Are you okay? Is Leonard treating you well? " She asks behind me . I can feel the concern in her voice thus I couldn't ignore her as I initially planned.

" I'm fine Mom"

" Then come in" she says leaving the door wide. I look inside the house; I grew up in and I feel this tightness in my chest. This wasn't a home, it was my prison. Dad must have thought he did it to make me stronger but he made me this way. It's not his fault. I'm not blaming him but I don't think I'll ever forgive him for that. He didn't just ruin my life but Isabella's too. Because of him we couldn't socialize. Isabella doesn't have friends except her co workers. It's a miracle I have Ariana and Logan as friends unless I would have said I'm an introvert which I'm not by the way.

" See, Julian texted me. He's at the hotel. I'll call you "I tell her but she narrows her eyes at me like she could tell I didn't want to get in. Her husband said I shouldn't. Though that's not the reason. I kiss her on the cheeks then turn around and walk towards my parked car. I slide in the driver's seat , ignite the engine and drive off.

My phone rings and I chuckle. He doesn't disappoint does he? " Hey, I stepped out for some air" I tell him biting my lips .

" Okay. I thought you went to see Logan " he says and I frown . I haven't been able to look Logan in the eyes since I almost cost him his life which I would have averted had I listened to him . I can't face him. Maybe when we catch that son of a bitch , he'll want to see me.

" Nah. I miss you Jules"

" Then come home to me. I want to know how badly you missed me" he says in a dirty way that has my heart panting. The past two days has made me exceptionally close to Julian. It might be the sex but I can't deny the pull between us. It's like we can't get enough of each other even though I should be mad at him. I mean sleeping with him should be the last thing on my mind but I can't help it. If he's going to be mine for five years I should make the most of it right?

I know I sound crazy but I do love Julian maybe a little too much.

I pull over at the hotel tossing the keys at one of the door men then I walk inside the building to see him but a figure looms over me as I look up to see a man staring down at me.

" Are you Milena Ariel Smith? " He asks but I don't answer. He looks amused even though he's trying to hide it. Yeah, he must have heard of my arrogant reputation. It's hard to miss.

" I'm detective Mitchell, I will like a word with you in the station"
