“ So how's your love life going? Have you found whom you're looking for?” Elon asked Ida over lunch.

“ I'm still searching, though I've been talking to someone,” she blushed while sipping her juice.

“ Tell me more. Who's the lucky guy?" He winked at her. He loved the way her eyes lit up while she spoke about her secret admirer. At a point in time, he just wanted to blurt out that he was her secret admirer, but, hey, where was the fun in that?

“ Seems like a great guy. He's lucky to have a wonderful woman like you. It's good he found what he wanted and went for it, unlike me, who didn't cherish love and lost it," he confessed.

“ I-um, so what about you? Anyone yet?” She asked, trying to change the topic at hand.

“ The woman I want wants another man, as usual, but I'd be fine and hope to find another.”

“ You will; you're a nice person with a great sense of humor. Not forgetting a wonderful personality. Your partner is out there somewhere. Don't stop searching.” she advised.

    “ So why are you still with her?” Raelyn turned on her side to face Zac. He had been cheating on Alyona with Raelyn for the past month, with the excuse that she rarely had time for him. “ I just need some time to finally break things off with her; just a little more time, babe,” he said to her. “ Whatever you say,” she shrugged. So far as she was getting the money and some d*ck, she was fine for now. Zac stopped trying to get in contact with Alyona. He claimed she had changed and become too arrogant because she was now managing models. Instead of managing her dad's company, she decided to manage models?! How pathetic! He thought to himself. “ Babe, I need some money,” she said, running her hands over his chest. “ Rae, what happened to the $2000 I gave you last week?” he asked, getting irritated by her constant demand for money. With the way she's going, I'm going to be bankrupt in a few months. I need to abort this mission and find someone who can get me some more money, perh

    You don't look good; what's going on?” Jaxon asked casually, walking to his big sister's room. She had spent almost two weeks at her parent's house with the excuse that she missed them, and they all knew it was a lie because she always came home when something was bothering her. “ I'm fine, Jax," she said, trying to dry her eyes. "Aly, I know you more than anyone else in this family. What did Zac do this time around? Does he need some ass-whooping?” Jaxon clenched his fists. “ We broke things off; I left him.” She swallowed hard, recalling how messy the conversation between herself and Zac went and the harsh words he used on her. How did I end up with someone like that? “ That's good news, Aly; he didn't deserve you; he doesn't deserve you, and he will never deserve you. It was best that you ended things before the verbal abuse turned physical.” He consoled her. “ Jax I loved him, and I think I still do," she trailed off. “ I know you do, but Aly, you've got to move on.

    "You're still crying over spilled milk?" Zeke asked, barging into her room, putting a bag of junk food in front of her. Aly had moved back to her apartment a few days ago. She still had lots of work to do and couldn't let that go because she was heartbroken. Man's got to eat. " Hello to you too; I see Ida filled you on everything," she asked, opening the bag to see the goodies he had brought for her. " She did, and believe it or not, we are happy you finally dumped his ass. He never did care about you; all he wanted was your family's wealth and nothing more, and when he found out you wanted something else, he couldn't cope and had to find other ways to rid you," he told the gospel truth. " He might not have cared, but I did. I loved him despite everything. In the end, I got heartbroken. RIP my mental health, yaay." She tried holding in a sob. " Enough of him; I brought your favorites, and don't dare say you're not hungry; otherwise, it's war." He fake threatened. " On the contrary

    “ So what time and when do we meet?” Ida asked Mr. A on the phone. They had been talking for a while now, and she suggested they meet in person. Certainly, Elon couldn't go as himself, so he hired someone else to go in his stead. Had he thought about the consequences? Of course, he had. But he was willing to go through what he had started until the end. What if she fell for the guy who posed as her secret admirer? What if the guy falls for her and starts pursuing her? What if? Just what if? Amidst all these questions and doubts, he had made up his mind and was going to stick by it. " I was thinking tomorrow night." He asked. Initially, she had made plans with Elon to meet tomorrow night with Aly and Zeke, and there was no way she was bailing on them because of him. " Sorry, but tomorrow night doesn't cut it; how about Saturday night?" She also suggested "Do you have other plans tomorrow?" " Yeah, and sorry, but I can't bail on them. So Saturday?" she asked as he went mute on

    “ You're still here? I thought you had a date tonight." Elon asked Ida, descending the staircase. “ I do, but I just couldn't leave you all by yourself throughout the night. What if you needed something?" she quizzed. “ Well, thank goodness I didn't need anything; you've got to go prepare for the date. It's almost 4 p.m.," he cautioned. “ Hey, take a chill pill. Aly would---- talk of the devil, and she appears. What took you long enough?” Ida asked Aly, who lazily walked towards her. “Hello to you too. I'm sorry I woke up late, and that's why I am late. I'm here now, so you can go get ready for your date. Don't forget to gist me on that later.” “ I won't." " I gotta go and take care of this big baby. I'd be back tomorrow to check up on you. Please do not burn the house." she said before leaving the house. Her Uber driver was already waiting outside for her. " I'm sorry for the delay; we can go now." The ride home was a short and quiet one. She paid off the driver and hurried

    "So, how did the date go?" Elon asked his substitute, Adrian. He has been acting fishy ever since he got back yesterday from the date. I hope this dude isn't planning on stealing my girl. I really, really hope so. " It went well; she had fun; in fact, we all did. She's a keeper; hold tight to her before someone else steals her. Candid advice from a friend." He winked at Elon. " Sure, will do; nowadays, homies aren't supposed to be trusted. Anyway, your balance will be credited into your account in a few hours. See you later." Elon dismissed him. Watch your back, Elon Maximilian. Ida won't be yours in a few weeks. Adrian thought to himself while driving out of Elon's house. Ida couldn't help but reminisce about how the day went. It was 1 a.m., and she was wide awake with a huge grin on her face. “ I guess he should be asleep by now." She put her phone by her bedpost, pulling her duvet to cover herself. In a few hours, she had to go check on her best friend to know how he was

    "Babe, come on. I just don't understand why you're throwing a tantrum over this." Zeke said, walking out of the bedroom. He wasn't understanding why his girlfriend was getting worked up over his association with Aly. She was his girlfriend before she even came into the picture, and she wasn't disrupting their relationship in any way. " You're spending much more time with Aly than me. It's always Aly this, Aly that," she argued. " Babe, you are always out with your friends, clubbing and partying. Even when we do hang out, it's for a few minutes, and then you're off to another place with your girlfriends. How many times do I spend with Aly?" he replied as she stood fumbling with her words. " I thought as much," he said, walking out of the house for fresh air. Did I make the right choice by choosing her? Talia is a great person; all she has to do is limit her association with her friends. I am not asking her to stop seeing them, but at least she can minimize her association with the

    " Finally, some vengeance for mom," Xara muttered under her breath as she saw the news that her dad had been murdered by one of his inmates. She had never been able to let go of the hatred she had for him in her heart. Yes, her mom may not have been the best person on earth, but it was his fault. It was that man she called her father who changed her into the bitter person she was. But when she realized it wasn't worth it, he killed her. " Hey, ange---" Kai turned off the television set and sat closer to his wife, hugging her. "How do you feel?" he asked. " Honestly, is it bad that I feel no emotion? Actually, I'm relieved that he's dead. He wasn't the best father to me or the best husband to my mom. He deserves this and more." Xara said. " No, it doesn't. He made you feel this way towards him, but it's your choice to forgive him and rid yourself of this hatred and bitterness." Kai advised. " Thanks, baby," she smiled. " You are welcome, love.

    EPILOGUE.A FEW MONTHS LATER... The deaths of Raelyn and her twins had spread like wildfire. She had planned a fake death to claim half of her husband’s property, and now she was dead for real. Penny stood in front of her daughter’s tomb silently. She had been buried with her twins a couple of weeks ago, and they had come to visit her tomb with a couple of friends . She could neither cry nor scream because she was numb. Never in a million years had she expected the death of any of her children. Raelyn was the black sheep of the family, but she was still her child. She did a lot of terrible things, but that didn’t mean she should have died that way. Bel stood behind the crowd, observing with a small smirk on her face. There was no one to brag about her riches any more. “ Hey,” Anika said, tapping Bel on the shoulder. “ Hi, how are you holding up?” She asked Anika. “ Numb, terrible, horrible. I lost my best friend, Bel,” she sobbed.“ I know; she was mine too. I know we had petty sq

    “ Seems someone is glowing,” Alyona teased Ida. Her relationship with Elon was blossoming into something beautiful. He had finally gathered the courage to ask her to be his girlfriend, and she was over the moon. That was what she had ever wanted, and now that it was here, she was more than grateful. "No, I’m not; it’s just been a while since you last saw me,” Ida defended."Whatever you say, for all I know and what I can see is that the d*ck is good,” Aly said, smirking, making her friend blush in the process. “ Ah, seeing how dumbfounded you are, I guess I am right on the fact that you’re getting a good f*ck from my brother, Since you’re happy, I am happy for you... You’re welcome,” she goofed. “ You do know you’re one weird child, right? Who in their right mind tries to find out from her brother’s girl if his d*ck is good enough? No one but Alyona Maximilian!” Ida scolded. “ Eeh,” she shrugged, making Ida laugh at her childishness. “ Enough about me, Aly; what of you? Zac is gon

    “ I’m going to freshen up and come back; don’t sleep, Ida,” he said to her, making sure she was awake. “ You can join me in the shower,” she flirted."Um, are you sure about that?” He asked to be sure of what she was saying. And also, to be sure, she wasn’t saying it out of exhaustion.“ Yeah, I am," she confirmed. Elon entered the room, locking the door behind them. He helped her take off her shoes . Ida walked into the bathroom to give Elon space to change, or at least get out of his clothes. She stood in front of the mirror, splashing water on her face.Did she want to do this? Was she ready for this? Yes! Heck yeah! She’d been waiting for a moment like this, and there was no way she was messing it up. No way. She changed into her towel in time before Elon walked in. He shut the bathroom door behind them, locking it. He looked sexy. Ida couldn’t take her eyes off his perfect body through the mirror. He moved to stand behind her with his hand on her waist. Sparks went down her s

    Ida had started working from Elon’s office, as agreed in their contract. Though she didn’t get to see him every day, she was enjoying the moment while it lasted. He had to travel out to make sure his father’s other businesses were doing well. Xara had someone in charge of her company, and Alyona also checked in on them occasionally, so they were doing fine. Her kids were actually happy she was out traveling, trying to make the most of her life since her other half was no more. Xara was getting better as the days went by. She always had journals for every country she visited, and she was on the verge of publishing some of them. Just a little editing here and there, and she was good to go. Life in itself is not balanced. She and her husband had a rough time, but when everything was going well for them, kids came along the way, and then priorities came next. They didn’t have that much time for themselves to actually enjoy their marriage. It was more of babies and working for them.“ Hi

    “ You know she likes you, right?” Giada popped her head into her brother’s room after Yara walked out to the kitchen.“ Nah,I just think she’s just being there for me as a friend, nothing more, nothing less.” He shrugged internally, jumping with joy that his sister was talking to him. After her fallout with Brynn, she had hardly said a word to Jaxon, just because he was failing to see the horrible person she was. “ You’re in denial; I hope you realize it soon," she replied about walking to her room."Giada, wait,” he said, making her stop in her tracks, wondering what he wanted to say to her.“ I know I haven’t been the best brother in the world to you. I’ve done stupid things that I am not proud of.” he paused.“ It’s fine, Jaxon; I know you didn’t mean all that you were doing; even if you did, it’s fine. I’m glad you finally saw that bitch for whom she truly is,” she winked at him, walking back to her room as she spotted Yara coming back.“ Did I miss something?” she asked, settin

    "Oh, I miss this." Elon found himself saying after they had finished their lunch. He hadn't gone out in a long time just to have fun and unwind from work. He had also realized that, despite what had happened between them, he still had feelings for Ida."Yes, I do, but priorities have shifted, and you're now the busiest man I've ever met," she chuckled dryly. He knew she was right. Everything was on his neck while his siblings went about their lives. Not that he was complaining, but he was allowed to live his life while running the Maximilian empire. His father had done it, and he could as well.“ I know, but can we take it slow? Put the past behind us and start all over," he asked, taking her hands in his. Ida was dumbfounded at that moment. Was she hearing right, or was she dreaming at the moment? “ Ida?” He drew her attention to what he was trying to say.“ I’d love that too,” she responded.“ About the business proposal you sent, which I am about to accept, it says I would be worki

    Months had passed since Kai’s burial, and Elon had taken full responsibility for his father's companies, which wasn’t an easy task at all. Managing those businesses was barely giving him time to himself. Ida had to move back home since he was barely at home and saw no reason why she should stay in the empty house alone. Xara came home occasionally since her kids were busy with school and their lives, and she didn’t want to be a bother to any of them, so she decided to travel the world to see what that holds for her. She was trying to get over the fact that the love of her life was gone for good. “ Hey mama!" Giada’s new stylist hyped her up as she came backstage from the runway. Shane was an amazing stylist; he knew just the right outfit for each shoot or runway session and was a great person. His nickname for her sounded hot when he said it, but when other people did, it sounded normal. Being on the runway was her way of keeping herself sane after the loss of her dad. Everyone thou

    Raelyn was six months into her pregnancy, yet she was glowing. Pregnancy was doing a great job on her. She wasn’t having any complications in her pregnancy except for morning sickness and cravings, and for that, Calvin had everything under control. With the way Calvin was treating her like a queen, she was thinking of rescinding her initial plan. Focus, girl, focus. She always told herself each time such a thought came to mind. She had mapped out everything, and she was going to make sure they fell into place if it was the last thing she did. “ Did Bel tell you she had gotten married?" was the first question Anika asked as soon as Raelyn answered her phone.“ Good morning to you, Anika,” she said, ignoring the question.“ Did she?” "No, Anika, she didn't, and I should be the one asking you that question; she’s your best friend now, and you both should know everything about each other,” Raelyn replied, getting out of bed. Calvin had gone on a business trip as usual, and she was at ho

    Maybe he didn’t want me here anymore. Ida lay on the bed, thinking. It had been a month since Kai had died, and Elon wasn’t any better. He acknowledged her presence but hardly spoke a word to her. His dad’s funeral was today, and she had to be strong for them. She could deal with her thoughts later. She had heard Elon when he was preparing to leave for the funeral grounds. He was supposed to be there earlier than everyone. She had heard a slight knock on the door but pretended to be asleep, so he left. She couldn’t face him yet at that moment. After her simple make-up, Ida slipped into her black self-portrait off-shoulder jersey midi dress. She secured the fascinator in her hair and then slipped into her 3-inch Loui Vuitton boots and grabbed her black clutch. She looked in the mirror, taking in a deep breath before leaving her room, leaving behind a whiff of her Chanel perfume.Alyona turned for the umpteenth time, trying to spot Ida in the crowd.
