Bernard sighed and looked at the cracked glassed surface of the table as he opened the door after knocking. He walked into the room as Edward glanced at him. He stood and looked at Edward who kept gazing through outside the window. He knew the wave of emotion had hit the shore inside the man sitting in his sight, resting his chin under the clenched fist. Edward took a glimpse of Bernard. “Whatever you need to do, Bernard and please I need to take some fresh air for some hours…” He sipped the tea for the last time before rising from the seat and leaving the room. Bernard turned around. “Mr. Edward, where are you going?” He followed the steps of Edward. He hang the phone with the maintenance department to take care of the wrecked table and change it the new one. “Send a man to check the table and change it…” Bernard hurriedly ended the phone call. He strolled down to follow his boss as he deeply concerned of Edward’s safety. ‘He got blackmailed some days ago and I sh
The voice of someone steps approaching made Edward stopped wandering into his fragmented old world. The man in the same age with his father appeared into his sight. He approached Edward with his warm smile. “Edward Philippe…” the man gave a warm hug that Edward almost forgot how it felt most from a man of father figure…many years counted. “Emir Drake…” Edward beamed as Emir released his hug on him. Emir turned his eyes to the table next him standing. Almost full of jasmine tea cup remains hit his eyes and he gleamed his beam. He sighed. “I think you need to take a walk with me…” Edward smirked. He grabbed his jacket from the seat’s arm. They took a stroll down the stairs to walk along the coral stoned path. Side along the walking path all the eyes captured were the green plants and floral decorative plants grown to give some fresh air. Edward vacuumed the fresh air, the scent of soil combined with the flowers eased some battles inside his mind. “We just re
Elena grabbed her gadget and she found a message from Martinez a.k.a. Edward Philippe. She just arrived at home at the time her gadget echoed. He asked her to come with him for dinner party tomorrow after night. She agreed and as she tried to not reveal so much about her, she decided to come to his apartment rather than agreeing him to pick her up. POV Elena Rouge: ‘I know Martinez is a nice guy but my instincts ask me not reveal too much about me to him.’ Elena thought after reading the message. ‘I am not sure whether he’s Martinez or Edward Philippe in reality as Duncan called him by that name. Anyways, I still get something to be done and working for Johnny Sly. It’s too dangerous for me being too much open and honest!’ She messaged him: ‘I’ll come to your apartment. Anyways, I don’t know what I should wear, any suggestions?’ She sent the message and bumped herself to the long sofa. Within a few seconds then, her gadget echoed again. He replied on
He yanked Elena to stop walking along the park and there was a space for them to rest and run comfy conversation. “What you think about Kania?” Edward handed Elena a vanilla with strawberries ice cream as she wanted. They bailed the party. Finding out the park as the spot to spend the rest of evening with some ice creams before getting some tacos for their dinner. At the moment, they were sitting on the bench and gazing at the dark sky with spreading sparkling stars, dimming their lights, such beautiful things to enjoy. POV Edward: ‘Proud of me, the dress I bought look so good on her. I saw Emir Drake was impressed and enchanted by her.’ Edward grinned. Then, he sighed. ‘I saw only some flakes of you, Elena. I want to know you more…I want to see your true color. I know you hiding those from me, for whatever reason you have…’ He licked his chocolate ice cream with his eyes were locking at her, sitting next to Elena with a black midi dress He bought, his stare
Two days after attending Emir Drake’s party and spent a dinner instead of having date with Martinez, Elena came to the campus, returned to face her other life as a college student and involved with the campus dynamic. “Elena…!” Ashley shouted at her in the corner of the campus building as Elena just landed her feet on the last steps of the building. She yanked Elena’s wrist and giggled as she took Elena to a right spot. “We’ve got it!” Elena looked at her. “What??” Ashley showed her a notification. “Our proposal got nominated to get the grants…” she jumped and hugged Elena who just read it from Ashley’s hand. Elena pulled Ashley away, “Wait!” Ashley widened her eyes at Elena who kept reading the notification paper. “Is only the two of us?” Elena squeezed her nose, turned her head to Ashley. “From our department?” She crunched her eyes. “It’s weird…” Ashley, in return, curled her eyes. Looking at her old friend with questioning stare. Elen
Elena closed the gate and caught a bouquet of roses was laid through her sight. Her mind was alarmed and running some flagrant suspicions. She picked it up from the front door rug before she unlocked the door. It was ten at night. She just arrived home from the campus and was wondering who put the bouquet of roses without sender’s name but it had a tag ‘congratulations for you’. She looked around but the quietness of the night having along with some dimmed street lamps made the night crawling around the neighborhood where she lived quite shivering to be honest. She only saw a silver Jeep entering the garage of the house they bought from Mrs. Ruth, the previous owner. Just a few seconds after she locked the gate… ‘I hope nobody’s there!’ she checked her surroundings and she grabbed the broom with her. She walked to surround the front yard, sneaked into the locked back door. It was empty… She could exhale in a relieved way when her suspicious mind wasn’t proved right
Angelo closely landed his kick on Elena’s waist. He halted his breath, if he hadn’t been aware enough to pull away his kick from her, he probably bumped her hard to the floor. It already two hours from ten in the morning. “We break!” Angelo walked and got his tumbler bottle. He stopped their practice as he found Elena shattering her focus. Elena puffed and wiped her face with hands. “Something bothering you?” Angelo asked and threw the water bottle to Elena. She caught it. She sat on the floor at the point she was bent down by Angelo. They were in the room to practice some defense mechanism skills. “You wanna talk about it?” Angelo sipped his water and sat on the bench, they were opposite each other just in a few edges. Elena wiped her lips with back hand. “I just…” Elena paused, gazed at Angelo who also stared at him. Angelo smirked. “You can count on me to listen you…I will…” he zipped in his mouth. Elena sighed. “I felt like I am being haunted!” A
“Miss Elena”. Elena stopped walking and turned around. She saw Mrs. Bright was catching her steps up. The campus corridor was quite busy with some stuff scattering around, doing their own. “Could we talk for awhile in my room please?” Mrs. Bright smiled at her. She appeared much softer in her voice than a few evenings inside her class. Elena was stunned to find Mrs. Bright approaching her with a big smile on that lady. “Yes, Mrs. Bright?” Elena grinned. “Of course, Mrs. Bright.” Elena followed Mrs. Bright and she found Mrs. Bright intentionally slowed down her pace to walk with her side by side. The woman with a blonde hair style back to Marilyn Monroe’s style opened the door room. “Make yourself, Miss Elena”. She stood by the door, waited for Elena and closed the door. That woman moved her hand with nails polished in red and signed Elena to take a seat in front of her desk while she poured two cups of coffee. Elena rubbed her eyebrows and watched ev
