She thought he would be still sleeping, but never she thought he would be staring at his ceiling, staying awake with eyes open wide. It was so opposite of him.
She knocked on the door twice, but he was deep in his thoughts. He did not notice her entering his room.
Zaria looked at him with concern. Was Elian not well?
Why he seemed so lifeless? Today, his eyes had no light. There was only dullness, and dark eyebags.
Did he not sleep well?
She wanted to find that out, but she did not have the audacity to ask. What if Elian said it was not her business?
But, she had to try her luck.
"Elian?" She came closer to him a

When she unlocked her phone, she noticed the message from an unknown number. Inside there was an attachment. When she opened it, she stared at it.Attachment was of a picture of Elian talking with some older woman who was wearing a very low cut maroon dress. She had to admit that the old woman he was talking to was fully-developed in the places which could make any man incited sexually.Zaria trembled. All she saw was red.It said: 'Elian Anderson is here in the Red-X club. Dress well and meet him.'She was still thinking of the sender, when another message came.'Don't you want to confess to him?

His voice was husky like he was thirsty, in need of water."Yes?" She turned around with anxiety covering her pretty facial features.It was his birthday and now he got sick again. She should have told her aunt to make Elian stay in the home.If he did not want to celebrate his birthday extravagantly, they simply could have cut the cake.He did not say anything and kept holding her hand."Elian, I am going to help you, okay?"

"Are you really going to leave me here?" He smiled at her, his gaze adoring, as he took her in his arms merrily."Be good, I'll be back in some time." She pouted at him and broke free. Turned her head away, seemingly upset. She did not want him to leave."I'll take you back with me next time. How about that?" The female looked up to him, her mood turning good."Promise?" He kissed her head, his warmth embracing her whole being."Yes, promise."Humming, she was watering her flowers, when a sudden noise shocked her.

"Sofia, so you have finally decided to leave this house for good?" A loud voice sounded in the room, and soon the smashing of objects followed. Her little sister, Abigail winced. To her, it was a norm. Her mother's hysteria, coercion, and in the end, her guilt. Abigail sighed. She knew what the outcome would be if she let it continue. "Yes, I want to leave, and I will leave."

She was a little dazed."Huh?"The light was encircling the place when she came to her senses completely and moved her neck which hurt. Sleeping in a chair and that too on a cold night with no blanket made her body freeze in some places.Albeit the area she was in was a secluded corner– away from the hospital, still, she could hear the faint bustling of people, the stomping of their hurried feet, and the sounds of wheelchairs screeching on the floor.Last night it was all too quiet that she forgot she was in a hospital and slept. One short nap became a thorough sleep and the long night evolved into a day.Her phone buzzed.Mumbling an 'excuse me', she checked her phone to see 6 missed calls from home and got worried."Hello?""Ria, we're trying to reach out to you but you weren't answering."

Zaria Smith knew the moment she saw this woman named Christina Norman, she was going to be a thorn in her relationship with Elian. For 3 days, Zaria did not see Elian and Christina. She had no idea what they were doing. As she passed by the hallway, she heard the low whispers of the servants, their eyes following her and observing her moves as if she were a criminal who had done a heinous crime. Were they blaming her for Christina's state? Was it Ria who forced Christina to eavesdrop on her conversation with her husband, Elian Anderson? Deep in her thoughts, she did not realise she had bumped into Sebastian. Startled, Zaria shook her head, her mind disturbed. "I wasn't looking clearly. Forgive me, Uncle Sebastian." "Young Madam, I..." "What is the matter, Uncle Sebastian? Why are you so pale?" Zaria was getting worried. Why was he so quiet? Butler Sebastian was silent as he kept his gaze low.

'I will finally talk to him! I can't tolerate her presence anymore. Humph, if she has no recollection of 2 years ago, she better make new memories if she can't recover the old ones.' Zaria was thinking when she stilled and watched the scene unfolding. "Elian, you're back!" Christina leapt into Elian's arms happily. "Mmh." "When are you planning to bring your friends here, Elian? I haven't seen them for a long time and I want to meet them." Zaria was in disbelief. This Christina had met them, but Zaria.. Elian had never introduced his friends to her. Not even a simple description of how they might have looked like. He always had dinner outside the house when he visited his friends. "They are busy nowadays," Elian answered and tried to separate himself from Christina but she would not budge. "Well, forget them. Do you feel the difference here?" "..." "Ugh, look around! I have changed everything." Only after that, Elian's dark eyes went to every corner. "The previous setting w

"Good grief!" The next morning when Butler Sebastian saw Zaria, he was flabbergasted. "What happened to you, Young Madam?" "Uncle Sebastian..." Zaria Smith could not get a single wink last night. The moment she would shut her eyes, she would see Elian together with that woman. She had black bags under her eyes and slightly puffed cheeks, giving a great impression of a panda. The torment she and her soul went through was intolerable. None of her friends was here. Who should she confide in? Past, he said. Was she truly just a past? Then why did he keep her here? Butler Sebastian was concerned. Was the task not successful? Since he could not get a word out from Zaria, he sighed. "Young Madam, have something first and then resolve the matter." "Resolve the matter? Will he let us do it?" Zaria muttered, a bitter face forming. "Yes?" "Oh, nothing." As she proceeded to go to the kitchen, she heard some maids speaking.

The dinner ended in silence. Zaria waited for Elian to say something or start a conversation, but he did not. He seemed distracted. The atmosphere was romantic and dreamlike yet the tension and nervousness somehow kept coming in. Under the table, Zaria clenched her fists apprehensively. "Elian, I need to talk to you." Elian was brought back to reality as he sensed Ria's gaze on him. Blinking, he cleared his throat, "I have been meaning to tell you something for quite a while as well. I can only let this out today now that I have got the chance." Zaria's heartbeat accelerated. Was he too- She gratefully thanked her ancestors and the heavens for this moment. With a shy look, she shook her head, her voice soft and she gazed down. "You can speak first. I can wait." "Are you sure?" Elian asked seriously. "Mmh." After all, whether she said it or he said it, it was the same. Sighing, Elian made eye contact with Zaria. He was holding this girl for a long time knowing that she could h
