Ella Williamson...

I looked at Detective Kevin with fear in my eyes. After he'd dragged me to the bathroom, he stood by the door and pulled it open just a little bit so he would be able to see in to the cafe.

There was fury in his eyes as he peeked in, watching the two men with the same tattoos behind their right ears.

Detective Kevin closed the door and looked at me.

"It's not safe for you to be here. If those men realize who you are..." He hesitated for a few seconds before he shook his head.

"Come on." He said before he grabbed ahold of my right hand and pulled me towards another door.

I couldn't stop myself from following after him because I was too scared to even think for myself. Detective Kevin led me out of the door and the two of us ended up on the streets on the other side.

"Come on. My car is parked down the block." He commented before he led me there.

I silently followed Detective Kevin until we reached his car. He opened the door by passenger side of the car and told

    Cane and I sat in a tense silence as he drove to Elijah's Mansion. Cane hasn't said a word since he found me. He looked angry, angry enough to swallow me whole, chew me up until I was nothing but a bag of bones and spit me right out again.If Cane was this angry, I couldn't image how angry Elijah would be."What were you thinking?" Cane suddenly scolded, startling the life out of me. "Did you honestly think walking out of the restaurant without letting me know was a good idea?"I glared at Cane, who was side eyeing me as well."I did let you know." I sighed with anger."Yeah, well if I didn't give you a reply to your text, it meant that I didn't see it. So no, Ella. You didn't let me know." He yelled in a fit of angry again.Tearing my eyes off of him, I looked out of the window, refusing to let him scold me as if I was a child. It wasn't entirely my fault."I don't care what happened in that restaurant. You should not have walked out on your own. I have a responsibility to keep you

    Elijah Smith...I stood by the door of Ella's art studio with my right shoulder leaned against the doorframe.Ella was so lost in her painting that she didn't realize I've been standing at her door for the last few minutes.Ella was standing in front of her canvas near the door with a paint brush in her hand. She pressed the brush against the canvas, leaving a colorful stroke against the surface before she returned it in to her paint.I looked at the canvas and tried to understand the meaning behind her painting.There was a wild storm of colors splashed on her canvas, and different colored butterflies stretched over the different paints. The butterflies were in different sizes, but each of them were captivating and unique in there own way.I moved my eyes around the studio and saw two canvases leaned against the shelves next to each other.One was one of the old paintings Elizabeth ruined and the other was a similar painting but new and unfinished.I realized that Ella wanted t

    Ella Williamson...Elijah stared at me for a few seconds without giving me an answer to my question. He looked like he was debating something within himself.He finally let out a sigh before he nodded his head."Yes. I knew. Cane was the one who found the video." He replied."How did Cane find the video?" I wrote down.Elijah gave me a small smile."He has his own ways." He commented. "I knew you would hate to see the video, which was why I didn't want to give you the flash."I remembered the black flash on Elijah's nightstand and wondered if that was what he was talking about."But of course, Cilvia had to get involved." He added."She did me a favour." I wrote down, bring a frown to Elijah's face."How is that?" He asked.I thought about it for a while."Things are not what they seem. Cilvia showed me that today." I wrote down.Everything she said to me in the bathroom terrified me. But after taking the rest of the day to paint and really be alone with myself, I realized that she was

    Elijah and I stayed in the garden for another hour, having a conversation about this and that.Even after I found out what happened to that intruder, I couldn't get away from Elijah. His left hand was rested on my right knee, and the soft touch kept giving me butterflies the entire time we were sitting next to each other.I asked Elijah about his work and he openly gave me all the answers.So far, I understood that Dante was the top man and Elijah was his partner.After Elijah's grandfather passed away, his father Alfonzo took over the spot. But Elijah told me that his father barely kept up with Dante. So, Elijah had to fill in his father's spot even before he took over the family business.The way he spoke about Dante made me realize that he looked up to him without even knowing it.Elijah didn't want to speak much about his childhood or the time before he took over the family's business, but he mentioned that Dante basically raised him as a younger brother.Our conversation was smoo

    Cane pointed towards the last door down the hallway."That's her room. She wakes up pretty late. If she's not there then call her." He mumbled before he turned around and left.I stared at his back, frowning at how tense his shoulders were as he left. Once Cane stepped around a corner and disappeared out of my sight, I let out a sigh and turned around.I stared at the door he pointed towards. I bit my lower lip, anxiously telling myself to walk over there and get it over with.I took a small step closer to the door, then another step followed. It took me nearly five minutes to get to a door that was just seconds away.I stood in front of her door with my right hand raised up. I counted to three in my head before I softly knocked on the door.I leaned closer to the door to hear if there was any movement behind it. When I heard nothing, I knocked again. This time, I made sure to make my knock firm and loud.A few seconds later, Cilvia opened the door. Her hair was a mess, as if she jus

    Cane, Cilvia and I sat around the dining table, sharing a very awkward breakfast.Cane kept jumping his eyes between Cilvia and I, carefully watching and assessing the two of us.While I sat tense due to the tension around the table, Cilvia couldn't give a damn about the eyes on her.She ate her breakfast freely, digging in from all the plates presented on the dining table.Cilvia's aura made me feel like she owned the entire mansion. Her confidence was on the very top, and it made me envy her."Who was that man?" Cane suddenly asked as he kept his glare on Cilvia."What man?" She asked, her expression not changing even for a second.I knew Cilvia understood Cane's question, but it seemed, she had no mind to give him the answer he wanted."You know who I'm talking about." Cane hissed. "The guy that left the mansion a few minutes ago."Cilvia finally lifted her eyes to Cane."How would I know?" She asked. "It's not like I have surveillance of this house.""Well, I do." Cane quickly rep

    Elijah Smith...I clenched the phone in my hand as I listened to Cane explain how he drove Ella and Cilvia out to one of our stores. I couldn't understand why Cilvia wouldn't stay away from my wife, but most of all, I couldn't understand why Ella wanted to go out with her in the first place."Make sure to keep an eye on them at all times." I ordered before I hung up the phone.A heavy sigh escaped my lips."Trouble in paradise?" Dante asked as he wiped blood off of his hands with a red towel."Cilvia." Was all I said, and Dante immediately understood.He hummed."She's not all bad, you know." He commented, forcing my eyes to him."Are you serious right now?" I asked.I'd told Ella that Dante basically raised me like an older brother would, and it was all true. So he should not have said that knowing well enough what I went through."Everyone makes mistakes, Elijah. And everyone deserves a second chance. Cilvia is just a human. She has flaws just like the rest of us." He commented

    I walked down the stairs with Ella by my side. Her hand was in mine, and goodness I didn't want to let her go.Ella walked out of the front door with me and looks towards the black car.She waved towards Cane who offered her a smile and a wave.I watched as she moved her hand, signing something I couldn't understand to Cane.I glanced at Cane and saw him giving her a thumbs up Jealousy stroked my chest. Damn it, I should learn sign language."What did you say to him?" I asked, forcing Ella's gorgeous blue eyes to turn towards me.Ella just gave me a bright smile.She then held her right hand straight, pressed her thumb to the center of her palm and tapped her four fingers to her chin before she shoved it forward. She then fisted both of her hand and crossed her arms before she released them again.I tilted my head to the side as I stared at her."I don't understand." I commented, wanting to kick myself from not understandingElla shot me a smile before she opened her lips and mouth t

    I felt kisses all over my face.What a great way to wake up in the morning.I pealed my eyes open and glanced at my husband with a smile stretching my lips.Ah, the gorgeous smile on his face made me want to faint. I reached up and tapped my pointing finger on my lips, making Elijah chuckle.He leaned down to press his lips against mine, giving me a sweet good morning kiss."Good morning." He said after he pulled away."Good morning." I whispered in a very small voice.The smile that spread across his face was proof of how right my decision was to go through with the surgery Doctor Morgan recommended.Six months after our beautiful baby girls Violet and Rose had been born, I had decided that it was time for me to go through with the voice box treatment.As always, Elijah was super supportive, as were everyone else in the mansion.Doctor Morgan helped me with the preparations for the surgery while the doctor who would perform it flew in just for my treatment.The old doctor warned me th

    I sat tense in the back seat of the car. Elijah had his arms around me as our driver drove us to the court house.Two and a half hours had passed since I helped my husband with his necktie, and the two of us left our mansion.We did eat out just like Elijah had promised we would. I was able to force myself to relax as I was sharing breakfast with my wonderful and attentive husband, but the second I realized that it was time for us to go to the court house, I started getting nervous again.Eating such a large portion of sweet pancakes and a full glass of milk might have been a big mistake because I felt like I was going to throw up.The feeling in my chest almost felt like I was on a scary ride at the amusement park that was shooting me up to the sky before I plummeted down to the ground and then back up to repeat the same process over and over again.It was a very sickening feeling, hence, the need to throw up."Just keep holding on to me, Love. I'm here for you." Elijah said, forcing

    Ella Smith...I gently moved both of my hands over my belly, looking at the many flowers in the garden.I had a feeling of dread at the pit of my stomach at the thought of the events that are meant to take place on the very next day.It's been almost a month since Julia came to this mansion to speak to me, and ask to me drop the charges against Elizabeth. At that time, I had no idea what those charged against my twin sister were on the account of how distant and distraught I was for those days.Seeing my mother was extremely hard for me. And listening to her was ten times harder. When Elijah first told me that she was here and that he was having her sent away, something deep inside of me wanted to see her. Somehow, I just knew it would be the last time I would ever see my mother.I wanted to hear her out, not just to close a chapter in my life. There was a dumb hope in my chest that was telling me that my mother was here to apologize and maybe try to mend things. It was stupid

    "Send that woman away." I ordered the new gate guard before I hung up the phone.I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. Ella never told me to do anything to her mother, so I wasn't sure how to approach this yet. Should I have Julia meet the same fate as her favorite daughter, or should I have her forced away from the city?With how deep in the ground the Williamson's name was, it wouldn't be that hard to deal with the very last Williamson left in this town.I heard a knock on my door, and I instantly knew it was Ella, on the accounts of how my door was open and Ella would knock to get my attention, while the rest would just call out to get my attention.I looked up and watched as she slowly walked in. I noticed her bump seemed slightly bigger than last week. She's growing every single day.I offered her my hand, which she took the second she was near me. "Who was that?" She signed once she settled on my lap. "You heard me?" I asked, to which she nodded her head. "Both

    I stopped the car in front of the widely opened front door. The sky was starting to light up as it was close, or maybe even past five in the morning. I didn't even bother to cut the engine before I pushed the door open and stumbled out of the driver's seat.I ran to the front door and rushed into the hall.I had to stop at how metallic the air smelled. Bodies laid in front of me, some being moved by our men.Kevin was the first one who caught my eyes."What the heck happened here?" I yelled at him. "Elijah..." He called out, ready to explain why there were bodies in and out of the house. But I stopped him, understanding that I couldn't care less about the dead people."Where is my wife?" I quickly asked. In the split second Kevin remained silent, unimaginable thoughts started invading my mind. In that small second, it felt like my life had flashed before my eyes.Kevin sighed."She's in the hall to the dining room. She refused to leave. She's been there for a few hours now." Kevin

    Elijah Smith...It was a blood bath.Starting from the point we discovered one of our men dead in the surveillance room, up to the point we fought our way out of the mansion, we were bathing with blood.My shoulder was killing me. I caught the bullet when we first came across the men in the surveillance room, and it was making fighting for our life ten tines harder than it needed to be.The entire Viper mansion was ringing with gun shots. I was concerned for Cane and Connor, as they were the closest to Elliot.Once we killed our way out of the mansion and back into the nasty exit, they stopped following us, which was why we had to get to the car fast so we would be able to return to the mansion to help the twins and the Vipers.All Victor wanted us to do was get his daughter out of the mansion in case he wanted to burn it down, his words, not mine.And we did just that. After taking the girl to our car, we left her there with the getaway driver and the man who was following us before

    Ella Smith...Pain exploded on my shoulder. I instinctively dropped to the ground and reached out for my left shoulder.The bullet had grazed me, but it still forced tears to my eyes.I heard Detective Kevin cuss before he shot towards the direction the bullet came from.His gun only had two rounds left, and the second it stopped firing, he stood up to cover me with his body.More shots were fired, and I was afraid the detective might have taken them for me. But one looked over my shoulder, and I saw that the shots fired were coming from the stairs, and Dalinda was the one who had the gun in her hands this time."Get out of there." She called out as Milton rushed past her to help Detective Kevin and I to move to the stairs."Miles." The detective called out before he started running back to the sitting room.The split second we were all distracted, Elizabeth shot at us again.All of us dropped to the floor. Blood spilled down the stairs, and my eyes widened as I looked up to se

    Elijah Smith...Cane decided to stay in the surveillance room to keep an eye on everyone, especially Connor and Elliot.I left two men with him and left the surveillance room with Dante and one other man, and we decided to go to the rotting rooms to find Victor's daughter. I shot him a text to let him know that our group was the closest to his daughter and that we were about to help her out, that was so he would be able to focuse on the real task at hand."You really believe this marriage will work?" I whispered to Dante as we started making our way through the halls."It better work. You two are expecting a kid now." Dante replied, forcing me to roll my eyes. "You know damn well whose marriage I'm talking about." I hissed at him."Trust me, Elijah. It will work." Dante finally replied before we came to a stop at a cornor.I looked down at my phone when a low buzz came from it and saw that there was a text from Cane."Two armed men coming your way." Was what Cane sent me.I showe

    I didn't want to take my time to think about what I was going to do. I didn't want my hesitation to cost the kid his life.I quickly dropped my eyes to my phone."Miles is goig to the stirs." I wrote down with utmost speed, making spelling errors I couldn't care to check. It didn't matter if my spelling was wrong in the text. All that mattered was that the detective understood what I was trying to say.I looked at the box showing that sitting room. A small light came from the corner, and I could tell that it was the light from the detectives phone. I could see panic on his face when the light gave away his expression.He quickly sent me a text."Stop him." I didn't hesitate for another second.I looked up at the monitor to see where little Miles was. The second I saw that he was getting closer to the hall turning to the stairs, I rushed to the door. Shoving my phone back into my pants, I fumbled with the locks and pulled the door open before I ran to the door of the room.I rushed
