A Wrong Divorce

Swaram Romance

"Who are you?" Elijah asked, looking irritated with my presence.
I stared at Elijah at an utter loss for words. Did the accident mess up his memory?
"I-I'm Lily.." I stammered, "..your wife.."
"Wife?" He spat and quickly withdrew his hand from under my hold as if it burnt his skin to be touched by me.
"Y-Yes.." I nod. "We are married.."
"That's impossible.." His voice raised a scale higher and before I could even react to his outburst a knife was pressed against my throat. "Tell me who the f**k you are or I will f*****g kill you right here.."
My vision was clouded with horror. This man in front of me wasn't the Elijah who loved me. He had completely lost his mind because my Elijah would never, NEVER threaten me with a knife pointed at me.
"Elijah. Please." I held his wrist, desperately trying to keep the knife away from my carotid. More than my safety, I was worried about the little life inside me. I couldn't let harm come its way.
Just then, Elijah's grandfather and the former Capo, Kent Maranzano entered the VIP ward. "What is going on here?"
"Grandfather.." Elijah's hold on the knife loosened and I used the chance to create a safe distance between us.
That's when realization filled in me. He recognized Kent. Was it just me then? How is it possible?
"Who is she?" He pointed at me but his eyes held Kent's gaze.
Kent seemed puzzled by Elijah's question but he recovered from it quickly unlike me. "She's your wife, Elijah. Don't you remember her?"
"No.." He breathed, his voice was almost inaudible.
"Elijah.." Kent sighed and put a hand on his shoulder, "You should rest. We can discuss everything else later.."
"I want this woman out of here.." HE barked. Kent stopped in his tracks and motioned at me to leave Elijah alone.
Tears prickled the back of my eyes as I followed him out of the room. I kept turning back at Elijah to see even the slightest recognition in his eyes for me but nothing. His eyes which were usually brimming with love for me seemed like two bottom less pit of blackholes.
