Elena’s POV

“Let’s start with small things”, I said, my voice firm but gentle. “No more secrets, no more lies. From now on, we’re honest with each other, no matter what”.

Alex nodded his eyes locked on mine. “I promise Elena. I’ll be transparent about everything. My past, my present, my future. It’s all yours to know “.

I nodded, a small smile on my lips. “Good. Because I want to know everything about you Alex. The good, the bad, the ugly. I want it all”.

Alex’s face lit up with a relieved smile. “I’m ready to share it all with you, Elena. Let’s start with my past, with Rachel…

“No,” I interrupted, my hand up. “Not yet. I’m not ready for that. But I am ready to know more about your life now, your interests, your dreams … the things that make you who you are”.

Alex’s face softened, his eyes warm with understanding. “Okay Elena. I understand. Let’s start with something simple then. What do you want to know?”

Let’s try something fun”.I said with excitement.Alex's eyes lit up with curiosity. "What did you have in mind, Elena?"I smiled mischievously. "I want to take a cooking class with you. Something that will challenge us and force us to work together. I know how lazy you can be when it comes to cooking. I mockingly told him.Alex chuckled. "Cooking, huh? I like the way you think, Elena. But I think I cook better than you”. He teased me. “So when do we start?"I grinned, feeling a spark of excitement. "How about this weekend? I've already found a class that sounds perfect for us."Alex nodded, his eyes shining with enthusiasm. "I'm in. Let's do it."As we signed up for the cooking class, I couldn't h

    “I wanted to give you something so special, something that symbolizes our love and connection”. Alex said, his eyes shining with emotions. As Alex opened the small box, my heart raced with anticipation. Instead of a ring, he revealed a beautiful customized necklace with our names, "Alex" and "Elena", intricately engraved on a golden pendant. I felt a bit disappointed. Maybe I was thinking too much, I thought. I was taken aback by the thoughtfulness and beauty of the necklace. "It's stunning, Alex," I whispered, my voice trembling. Alex smiled and gently placed the necklace around my neck. "You look beautiful wearing it, Elena. It's a reminder of the love we share, and I hope you'll wear it always." As I touched the pendant, I felt a deep sense of love and belonging. The necklace was more than just a gift – it was a symbol of our journey, our memories, and our triumphs.

What are you doing here?"Alex slowly turned, a smirk playing on his lips. "You told me to come, remember? You texted me."Daniel’s confusion deepened. "No, I didn’t! I never texted you."I couldn’t help but enjoy the unraveling drama. With a sly smile, I crossed my legs and leaned back. "Wow, Daniel, I’m impressed. You’re truly something.

"What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena. Especially when it comes to something you've worked hard for. You know what Uncle Smith tried to do to you. What if Daniel...?"I held up a hand, stopping her. "Daniel would never do that to me.
