"How does it feel being out of that house and Elliot what's-his-face out of your life?" Cherry nudged Wanda. It had been two weeks since Wanda moved out of Elliot's home and into Cherry's, and although she was in no hurry to move yet again, she was house hunting. She needed to give Cherry her privacy and needed to do it soon because she couldn't afford to walk into her and her boyfriend making out on the living room sofa again, the sight was enough once but it wasn't the only reason why, she wanted her own space and she felt bad about using up Cherry's things even though she had told her she didn't mind. Her old apartment was still available but she had never really liked it and since she was richer, she wanted to upgrade her living area. "Earth to Wanda" Cherry clapped in her face this time to get her attention. "I'm sorry." She smiled. "It feels great.""And you don't miss him?" She reached for her glass. Wanda shook her head and scoffed. "Why would I?""If you say so." Wanda exc

Wanda's bags were by the front door and she was seated waiting for Cherry to pick her up. As she sat, she looked around Elliot's house and sighed, she was going to miss it, even though her final days in the house were painful and sad, she didn't start like that, there was laughter and happiness and fun and now that she was finally leaving she was going to miss it all. She stood up and looked at the frames on the wall and smiled, she remembered the day they took all the pictures, they ran around the whole day to look like a real couple for his family and their hard work paid off. She touched one of the framed pictures and wiped a small tear from her eyes, it was her favourite, in the picture, Elliot was giving her a back hug and a kiss on the cheek. They looked beautiful and in love, she was jealous of the Wanda in the picture. She moved away and sat down, and she wondered why Elliot hadn't gotten rid of the pictures yet. She thought of taking one with her but she slapped herself back

It was a cloudy Friday morning and Elliot was fully dressed in his favourite suit, the day had come for his fate to be decided and he was nervous.Was he going to win and inherit SEM Group or was he going to lose it all? He put on his polished shoes and looked into the mirror for the last time before picking up his phone and car keys and exiting his bedroom. He stopped in front of Wanda's room and stared at the door, whether things went well or not their end was very near. They would finally be free, he wouldn't feel guilty towards her anymore and she wouldn't have to cry because of him.He went down the stairs and saw Wanda in the living room, she was eating her breakfast with her apple juice by her side, she looked at him when she caught sight of him and smiled, for the first time in a long time she smiled genuinely at him."You're ready?" She asked him. He nodded. "Good luck Elliot." She told him. "I mean it." He smiled back, "Thank you." He walked out and got into his car, whe

Elliot and Wanda were both in the kitchen doing separate things, ever since their falling out, they became invisible to each other. The new action was intentional on Wanda's end and was out of courtesy on Elliot's end. He understood she was trying to get out of his way and get him out of her way and he respected her decision. The two of them would cook separately, clean separately, do dishes separately and so on. The new routine was stuffy and uncomfortable but they both bared with it because soon everything would change. To Wanda, it had always seemed like the time would take forever to come, soon felt like forever but now soon was in less than a week. Soon she would be out of his home and life forever, it was only a matter of days. Wanda was already packing her things little by little, and although she would be homeless for some time she knew she could stay at Cherry's house until she found a new place. Wanda had completed her last piece and she awaited Elliot's father's call. At f

"What do you mean we have to stop seeing each other?" Tara jumped up in surprise. When Elliot had come over to her place she had assumed he was even going to spend the night but that was not the case, he was coming to draw a line. "I don't want to do this too Tara but I have no choice." He told her. "It's just for some time."She frowned and folded her arms before sitting. "I don't like this Elliot." "Me neither but you know my situation." She wasn't liking what she was hearing and it seemed like her powers weren't working on him. When would she have him all to herself so she could do whatever she wanted and then leave him again? "Is it because of her?" She asked. "Are you falling in love with her?""Of course not Tara." He tried to reassure her. "I'm not.""You didn't have a problem replacing me so." She didn't continue. Elliot grabbed her and kissed her gently. "I love you, Tara. No one else."She smiled and hugged him but in her mind, she was mocking him. He was such a fool. "

Toby raised a brow as he looked at the screen, he could see Elliot standing just outside his door and he looked bad, he ruffled his hair and opened the door slightly. Elliot stood at the entrance and looked at his best friend with sad eyes, he felt cold and confused, he tried to smile but he couldn't. Toby noticed his demeanour and tilted his head to one side before speaking. "What happened?" "Can I come in please?" He replied, his voice breathy. Toby opened the door fully and stepped aside, he motioned for Elliot to enter."Thank you." He walked in and Toby closed the door. Toby didn't say anything and just walked to his coffee machine, knowing Elliot, he would drink coffee all the time even when he wasn't feeling good, both physically and emotionally so before talking he would give him some coffee to calm down but today Elliot didn't want coffee. He looked to the kitchen and saw Toby making coffee, he shook his head and said "Not coffee, alcohol. Give me something strong Toby."
