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

    Ella Williamson...I did my best to stay up and wait for Elijah to return home.Home? It no longer felt weird and off to call Elijah's mansion my home. I tried to busy myself so I wouldn't fall asleep, but it wasn't working. I stayed in the walk in closet, looking through the clothes Cilvia had forced me to buy. Not that I'd paid for the clothes, since it was a store owned by Smooth Smith. Cilvia took full advantage of being Elijah's mother when she shopped. She mercilessly walked through the store, picking out anything and everything that caught her attention.I was certain that we would make Elijah bankrupt if we kept shopping. But, my fear was not realized.Cilvia was planning on moving to another store, but she just has to make another comment about how I was dressed.I honestly didn't mind that she wanted me to change in to something more flashy, but she tried to take my scarf off of me.She'd reached for my neck, making me jump out of her way.

    I stared at the closed door of our bedroom in shock.Dropping my eyes down to my little pink notebook, I wondered what was wrong with him. It doesn't take a genius to know that something went wrong at the meeting Elijah went to, but that was not an excuse to be cold to me.I threw my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up. Without bothering to put my shoes on, I walked towards the door and left the bedroom.I had my notebook and pen in my hands, as I had planned to ask if he was okay. The only place I could think of was his study. So, I went there.When I reached his study, the door was closed, but I could see light coming out through the small gap between the door and the floor.I stepped closer to the door and raised my right hand up. I stopped my hand mid air, wondering if I should just leave Elijah alone for the night.I dropped my hand to my side and turned around to leave. After taking two steps away from the door, I stopped again.Why should I leave him alone?He was perfe

    Dang it. I dozed off.I'd planned to sit in front of Elijah until he gave up and talked to me. But, having to stay up all night last night, I couldn't keep my eyes opened anymore.By the time I startled awake, Elijah and Cane were no longer there.I let out a sigh as I leaned back in to the chair."What are you doing here?" I heard Cilvia's voice, and I looked towards the door to see her leaning her shoulder against the door frame.I stretched my arms over my head to relax my tight muscles, and rolled my head from side to side.Cilvia walked over to the desk and looked down at me.I was still mad at the woman for what happened the previous day. I looked away from her and picked up my notebook and pen, readying myself to leave the study and sulk for the rest of the day."Oh come on, you're not still upset, are you?" She asked with a chuckle.I glared at Cilvia, wanting to tell her off. I watched as she dropped her eyes to my scarf."How can you wear a scar and a hoody at the same time?

    After packing Elijah a warm lunch, Cilvia drove me to his company.She kept reminding me to be loving and cold all at the same time. How is one supposed to do that?She stopped the car in front of the company and told me to text her once I was done so she would come and pick me up.I was grateful she drove me to Smooth Smith. Even though her advice had been terrifying, she was helping me in a way no one has. And I can't help but feel like the woman was slowly growing on me day by day.After I got out of the car, I watched Cilvia drive away and turned to the large building.I looked up at the tall building, pressing my right hand against my forehead to block the light attacking my eyes. It was a large building, one that would certainly take a while to build.I remembered how Elijah told me his grandfather started the company, and he was able to make it prosperous after taking over from his careless father.I was proud of him. Especially seeing what he had, I wanted to give him a pat on

    Two hours. I sat outside of Elijah's office for two hours. My back was starting to ache from sitting down for too long and not moving a muscle. I sat there like a statue, glancing at Elijah's door once in a while.His assistant, bless her heart, is a very nice woman, who called Elijah three more times to let him know I was still waiting for him. Yet, he never gave her a reply.She stared at me with pity. She would open her lips to say something, but would eventually shake her head and go back to her work. When it was time for her to take her lunch break, she offered to bring me anything, but I shook my head.I assumed Elijah would be out for lunch, but I was wrong.I understood that he wasn't having a meeting when I saw no one walking in or out of his office.He's really refusing to let me in."Ella?" I heard Cane's voice and I looked to side as he stepped out of the Elevator."What are you doing here?" He asked as he looked down at me."I brought Elijah lunch." I signed and watch

    I sat in the warm garden with the lunch box on my lap.I looked in to the lunch box with a frown. The food I'd packed for Elijah was cold. The rice had formed a solid shape of the lunch box, and the deep fried vegetables were soggy.Letting out a sigh, I pulled a spoon out of the pink bag and started digging in. I didn't have a meal after I woke up this morning, and I didn't want the food to go to waste. So, I decided to eat it myself.The heat from the sun was hotter today, forcing me to take my white scarf off.I let out a sigh before I stared fanning myself with my right hand."Why are you eating that?" Cilvia asked as she stepped out of the mansion and walked over to me.I shrugged my shoulder.Cilvia let out a soft sigh as she sat down next to me on the circular seat."You're really not going to tell me what happened today?" She asked, carefully watching me take a bite from the soggy vegetables.I glanced at Cilvia and saw that she was looking at me with curiosity.Letting out

    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
