Once, my paranoid love

I asked Eva, “Can I stay with you tonight?”

Eva held my hand and said, “Yes, Elena, why not?”

“Is there a problem, Elena?” Ron asked abruptly.

“Nothing is wrong; it’s just that I’m not feeling well. I’ll be bored at home, too,” I said with a smile.

“But what about Paul, Elena? Did you mention anything to him?” Eva asked, “What happens if he goes to my house?”

I said, “I didn’t tell him about your house; instead, I unintentionally mentioned Ron’s.”

“What? If he goes to his home?” Eva questioned.

I lowered my head, thinking I should not have mentioned his name as well, but Ron quickly spoke up, “Do you want to go now, girls? I’m exhausted.”

“I think we’ve gotten you into a problem, Ron,” Eva replied.

“I apologize, Ron. I didn’t mean to do it,” I said with a tense face.

“You don’t have to be worried, okay?” Ron said, “Just calm down; everything will be OK.”

“Yes, Elena, we’ll speak about it later,” Eva responded.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I said nothing and simply followed them down the hall. After a while, we got inside the car. The whole way, I was thinking about what I needed to do.

After a while, Ron stopped his car. Eva looked outside through the window.

“It’s not my home,” Eva said to Ron. I looked out when I heard her; yes, it was not her home.

“I know it’s not. It’s my home, and I want to stay with you-I mean, with you guys,” Ron answered.

But it was not a good idea, so I spoke up and said, “What? We can’t stay here, Ron. It isn’t a good idea.”

“It’s all right, Elena,” Ron said as he turned back. “Paul is completely and entirely unaware of this residence. I come here occasionally.”

“But-.” I tried to explain, but Eva cut me off.

“Elena, it’ll be a lot of fun,” Eva added. Ron gave us a friendly smile.

“Yes, please come with me,” Ron said as he walked in, and we followed. It was just stunning. A large number of maids greeted him. Ron had already told them to set up a room. But somehow my heart was saying it was not a good idea. Staying at a stranger’s house….. it was kind of weird.

“It’s really lovely, huh, Elena?” Eva asked.

I said, “Yes,” with a nod, “I don’t think it’s a good idea, Eva. We should return home.” I whispered to her so that Ron couldn’t hear us.

“Don’t be terrified, Elena,” Eva said with a smile. “Paul would easily find out if we stayed at my house, but he wouldn’t find us here.”

It was true that he hadn’t been able to locate us there. “But Eva-.” Eva took a breath and stopped me in the middle. She added, “Elena, Ron is our buddy. So it’s fine if he wants to hang out with us.”

“Eva and Elena, go with them and freshen up yourselves,” Ron said as he approached us. “I need to take a shower.”

“Take your time,” Eva said with a smile. They exchanged a glance. A maid approached us and said, “Ma’am, please come with me.”

We began to follow her. She led us into a luxurious room. Eva’s eyes widened as she said, “Wow, it’s rather lovely.”

That maid told me, “Ma’am, if you need anything, just contact me.”

“Yes, I will,” I responded with a smile. Eva got on the bed as the maid left.

“Ron Reagan, Elena, I can’t believe it. Oh my goodness! Ron Reagan! We’re going to stay with him,” Eva said with excitement.

“Yes, Ron Reagan,” I responded, my eyes narrowing. I knew she had a crush on Ron. Eva screamed, “The renowned model and my dream boy, oh my God!”

“Do you know how many girls want to spend the night with him?” Eva shrugged. I nodded in a negative way.

Eva opened all the shopping bags and checked all the dresses as she was talking.

“Eva, don’t you think it’s too much?” I said.

“Elena,” Eva said. “If he wants to offer us something, then what’s the problem? And I think Ron likes me.”

“What?” I asked, my eyes furrowed. “Did he say something to you? You can’t assume something like that, Eva. We all know about him.”

“Come on, Elena. Those are all rumors. I don’t believe them. After watching him so closely, my conception of him has changed,” Eva said.

I took a deep breath. I knew when people fell in love, they could not differentiate between the wrong and right paths. I was about to tell her not to assume things, but I stopped in the middle. What if Eva was right? Ron truly likes her. Also, Eva adored Ron. I would pray for her that her luck would not turn like mine and that she would get the one she loved.

“Don’t worry; if he likes you, he’ll tell you eventually,” I said with a smile.

“Elena.” Eva grabbed my hand, her eyes sparkling. “Will you help me tell him?” Eva asked.

“Wait, what?” I drew my brows together.

“Please, Elena, help me,” Eva pleaded.

“Okay, first, take a deep breath and relax. I’ll help you. After all, my sweetheart adores him.” I burst out laughing.

Eva made a pouty look and whispered, “Do not laugh. You do not know how crazy I am for him.”

“Obviously, I know, sweetie. You didn’t even miss a single one of his shows?” I said.

“Ron gained so much fame at his age,” Eva said, closing her eyes.

“You’ve already told me this. He started performing when he was ten years old.” I went to take a shower while talking with her.

“Elena,” Eva said.

“Yes,” I said while showering.

“Did you know Ron has a stepbrother as well?” Eva asked.

“No, I’m not familiar with it, Eva,” I said.

“Once on a TV show, Ron said he had a brother, but he did not tell much about him. I’ve heard he’s quite attractive.” I couldn’t stop giggling when I heard her words.

“Then you should try with him, too.” I said.

“Shut up and come out quickly,” Eva said to me angrily.

[D’Souza’s mansion]

Paul emerged from his room, peering into Elena’s room. But suddenly he heard his mother’s voice, “What are you looking at?”

Paul turned back and noticed Anne after being startled by an unexpected sound.

He rolled his eyes and started walking as if he had heard nothing at all.

Suddenly, his mother shouted his name, “Paul!”

Anne held his hand in hers and said, “I’m asking you something.” With a flip of his hand, he expressed his displeasure with the present situation.

“I am no longer a child, Mom. So, please stop interfering.”

“Paul, please try to understand, honey. Robert is here,” she said in a soft voice.

Paul said with a stern face, “I don’t give a damn about Robert.”

Anne remarked astutely, “Paul, he is your father.”

“Please, mom, put an end to your nonsense. He isn’t my father,” Paul told her sternly.

Anne sighed and said, “Okay, he is not. But Elena is actually his daughter, after all. If he finds out, it will be extremely dangerous.”

Paul frowned at her with an annoying face, and when Anne realized it, she tried to calm him down by saying, “I’m only concerned about you, honey. I will not interrupt; you may enjoy yourself, but don’t forget about her father.”

‘My mother is a wicked, cunning woman, and I knew it.’ Paul thought while looking at his mother.

“He’ll figure it out eventually,” he said.

“What? What do you mean by that?” Anne asked, shockingly.

“Please, I’m not in the mood,” Paul said as he began to walk away.

“Please wait a few days, baby. After he signs everything, you are free to do anything you want,” she began, pleading with him.
