"Don't fucking push me, Elle," he growled. "This is no longer a joke. This isn't a game. You could be sued for defamation, if you continue to throw accusations like this around, and I don't want to have to clean up another mess. Stop making things difficult for me, and tell me where you are, right now. If you think I'll just let you go, and not do anything about it, then you are wrong. Now, where the fuck are you?"

"What are you going to do, Sebastian? Huh? Focus on enjoying your time with your wife before your baby's arrival and leave me the hell alone. Do not force me to get a restraining order against you."

"Don't play games, with me, Elle. Stop being a child and tell me where you are!"

"Fuck off. Goodbye, Sebastian." I spat, hanging up, and shoving the phone back into my pocket.

I couldn't believe his nerve.

How could someone be so arrogant, and cruel?

And the worst part was, I wasn't even a stranger to him, but still he treated me like a total outsider.

It made me wonder,

Someone seems to be standing on business. (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)

    E L L EAs the car sped, I couldn't help but watch the beautiful scenery around me.Everything was perfect.There were mountains everywhere, and it was so peaceful.It was beautiful."We're almost there." Gio announced.I sat up straight, and stared outside the window, watching the cars parked at the side of the road, and the people walking with their family.Where were we?When the car slowed down, and pulled up in front of a large sign, I looked out the window, trying to read what it said."Welcome to... West Bali National Park."My mouth dropped open and my eyes widened, staring at Gio in shock."No way. Are we camping?" It was like finally living my childhood dreams. "Yeah. We have the whole day, and night here, so, we can do whatever you want. I booked the best spot. There are lots of food and drinks and snacks in the car trunk. I figured we'd spend our night, roasting marshmallows and having a bonfire, and then sleep. The park has amazing campsites, and the lake is stunning, es

    E L L EThey were amazing, and I couldn't help but hope that they would always be in my life.But, I was also aware of the fact, that we live in the same city, but have different jobs and responsibilities, so, it's not easy to maintain friendships.So, I guess, the only thing, I could hope for, was that our friendship would remain strong, and nothing would come in between it."Let's get drunk, ladies." Gio announced, breaking me out of my thoughts.I looked up and watched as she grabbed the bottle of vodka, and a few bottles of juice, and placed them on the table."We're going to play a game called Never Have I Ever, and whoever loses has to drink."I groaned, and rubbed a hand down my face, "No way. I am not going to drink." I said, remembering my last horrible hangover. "Come on, Elle. It's not bad. It's going to be fun. Besides, if you don't lose, then you won't have to drink. Now, come on.""Fine. But, you owe me, after this. Big time.""Deal."Giovanna grabbed three cups and pour

    E L L E"You both were caught fucking? Must have been embarrassing and hilarious." I said, laughing."That is an understatement. We were at Avery's place and her mother was supposed to be out, but apparently she has forgotten something which happened to be in Avery's room. And she found us having sex. And Avery is quite the screamer. Needless to say, it was an awkward situation." Gio said, smiling."Aw, poor you. Okay, my turn. Never have I ever, had phone sex." Avery announced, taking a sip from her cup.I laughed and drank my cup, "I can't believe we're actually doing this. It's kind of fun, and funny. Okay, I've got a good one. Never have I ever, had anal.""Fuck. Elle, you're so kinky. And, no. Never." Avery said.Giovanna shook her head, and sighed, "That was a hard pass. No thanks."I couldn't help but laugh, "That was pretty awesome. Alright, who's next?""I've got one. Never have I ever, masturbated on the bed, knowing that someone would soon come to join me."

She has always been the most beautiful girl I've ever met.And, that was what attracted me to her.Her beauty, and her personality."Why did you follow me, Gio?" Her voice was quiet and shaky and it broke my heart."Because I wanted to talk.""I don't want to hear any more excuses. I've heard enough.""Avery, you're being dramatic. Just listen.""Dramatic? Seriously? You just admitted to have used me, and now you're telling me, that I'm being dramatic?""I didn't mean it that way. I just meant that what you're doing is unnecessary."She turned around, and gave me a deadly look, her eyes burning with anger, "Fuck. You."I sighed, and approached her, "Listen, baby.

    G I O V A N N A"Can we talk?"Avery stopped and looked back at me, and then turned her attention to packing her things."There's nothing more to talk about, Giovanna."I grabbed the shirt she was folding and threw it onto the floor, and her head snapped in my direction, and she gave me a deathly glare."What the fuck?""We have to talk, Avery. And you're going to listen to me. So what now? You want to leave because of this?""Isn't this enough reason to want to leave your shitty ass, Gio? I thought this vacation was exactly what we needed, away from all the toxicity and fights and just focus on 'US'. But, all it took was one fucking game, and my relationship ended.""I don't want it to end.""Well, neither did I, but you ruined it. But we don't always get what we want, do we? This is exactly why I didn't want to play. I was against it and you said that it wouldn't make a difference. But, you were wrong. It did. Now, leave.""Baby–""Stop calling me that, you have no right.

    E L L EI was standing in front of Giovanna and Avery's tent the next morning, wondering why they weren't still awake. It was 10am in the morning and neither of them had come out yet.Was there a party inside their tent, and I was the only one who didn't get an invitation?I opened the door, and peeked in, and saw both of them cuddled together and sleeping.I smiled. I guess they were able to talk, and make up."Ahem," I cleared my throat, and Giovanna opened her eyes and sat up, and yawned."Elle, what's up?""What's up? It's 10am, and you're still sleeping. Did you guys talk? Or have you been fucking all night?""Elle!" Avery whispered and covered her face with the blanket.Giovanna got up, and grabbed her shorts. "We definitely had a lot of time to talk." Gio teased, making Avery's face as hot as a volcano.They got up and we walked outside together.

Get up and prove them wrong. Show them that you're the boss and you have it all under control."She continued, "Don't let them see you cry. Don't let them see you hurt. They're winning, and you're losing. If you continue acting like this, then they'll forever be on top and will have the last laugh. Show them who the real winner is.""How? I have no motivation. I don't have a desire to fight anymore.""That's the problem. You have to start fighting. No one will be there to fight your battles. And, as much as you want to stay home and cry, it's not going to help. You'll end up more miserable than you already are. So, you have to get up and make them regret. Don't give up.

    L A U R ATWO DAYS EARLIER I had a very long and tiring day, and I wanted nothing more than to have a warm bath, drink some red wine and relax. My car pulled to a stop in front of my apartment and I got out of the car, grabbing my bag from the back seat."Thank you, Mark. See you tomorrow.""Goodnight, Ms. Laura."I entered the elevator, and as I waited to arrive at my floor, I closed my eyes, trying to gather myself.Once I'd arrived on my floor, I got off the elevator, and headed down the hallway. I unlocked my apartment door and walked straight into my bedroom, shredding my clothes and jump into the bathtub.I prepped my bath with my favorite bubble bath, and once the tub was full, I added a few drops of lavender oil, and a couple of epsom salts, and then stepped into the warm, scented water.I relaxed, and the heat eased my tired muscles. I sighed in satisfaction, sinking my body further into the tub. I popped open the wine bottle, pouring a glass, and taking a long sip.I'd had

    S E B A S T I A N My personal assistant arranged all the necessary documents needed for my last meeting of the day, as we drove towards the building."Sir, we're here," he informed me, and I checked myself in the mirror one last time before I stepped out."Good morning, Mr. Black," the receptionist greeted me. "Please follow me, they are waiting for you in the meeting room.""Thank you," I said, following her.I saw two men sitting at the table, and the moment they noticed me, they stood up. "Mr. Black, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," the taller of the two men said."It's a pleasure to meet you, too," I replied, shaking his hand."Please, have a seat."They motioned for me to sit, and once we were all seated, we got straight down to business."So, I believe the contracts are in order?" the taller man asked."Yes, and my assistant has the copies with him. We can sign them after we've discussed everything.""That's great. Let's begin, then.""As you all know, my company, Black En

    E M I L YMy heart skipped a beat the moment Ivan walked into the party. He looked so good, of not better. His hair was slightly longer, his beard neatly trimmed.He was the definition of handsome.His eyes were bright and twinkling. The smile on his face was so beautiful. He had been avoiding me for so long, but he still came. He didn't have to, but he did.He was dressed in a dark blue suit, and he was holding a small gift bag, and I couldn't help the tears that gathered in my eyes. He hasn't seen me yet, and I wondered what his reaction would be like if he does. Would he be happy? Sad? Angry?Or would he ignore me and walk away. I would definitely notl be surprised, because I deserved it.I stood still, trying to calm myself, and a deep voice startled me from behind.My heart was pounding so fast that I could hear it in my ears despite the loud music blaring in the background. His familiar cologne filled my nose, and I closed my eyes, trying to control the overwhelming tears that w

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life, and thank you for the years we shared together. Thank you for everything.""I won't forget you, Sebastian. Before everything crashed, you had made me smile, and laugh. And, you gave me a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Thank you, and take care of yourself, okay?""You too. Take care, and please don't hesitate to contact me, if you ever need anything.""Same goes for you."She gave me a hug, and I hugged her back, feeling the last of the bitterness leave me."Goodbye, Sebastian.""Goodbye, Elle."She walked away, and I was left all alone, standing there, under the stars, a small smile playing on my lips.The bitterness was gone, and so was the pain.For the first time, in a very long time, I was truly free.I was finally free.I heard the sound of heels clicking and a piss

    S E B A S T I A NThe last person I had expected to see when we arrived at Laura's cousin's party was Elle.And although, meeting her here was totally unexpected, for the first time since our divorce, I didn't feel that tight constricting pain in my heart, and nor did my palms start sweating.In fact, I actually felt...calm, and peaceful.Perhaps, I had finally found closure.It was the first time in months that I had seen her, and not once had I felt a twinge of jealousy or anger when she was around Mikhail.Seeing her now, standing beside him, her belly protruding, and her eyes looking straight into mine, with a look of confusion and uncertainty, I could actually admit that she looked happy.She looked healthy and content, and I was glad that she was doing well. She was finally living the life that I couldn't give her. She was finally with a man who deserved her and was taking care of her, the way she needed to be taken care of.Laura had her arm looped through mine, and was looking

    E L L EI was still standing in shock and disbelief. What exactly was Sebastian doing here? And, did he seriously walk into the birthday party of my best friend, with his mistress?This was the first time I was seeing him in months, and I didn’t like it one bit. I was certain that Avery or Giovanna hadn’t invited him, or did she? No. Giovanna didn’t even know about the birthday party to begin with. So, who else could have invited him?“What the fuck is he doing here?” Mikhail growled behind me, circling his arms around my waist protectively, pulling me closer.His body was tense, and I could feel his heart beating against his chest.Sebastian was holding his mistress' hand, and they were smiling, looking as happy as a couple could be.He was wearing a grey suit and the woman had her hair styled into a perfect bun, she was very beautiful. Her eyes were big and blue, and her face was covered in make-up. Her black dress hugged her slender body, and she looked very classy.Her face looked

    E L L EI sat at my vanity table, my towel wrapped around my body as I started with my make-up. I applied a light foundation, followed by a little blush, mascara, and red lipstick.My eyes were bright, and my cheeks were flushed. I looked absolutely different, and I could definitely see the glow that everyone was talking about. My skin was literally flawless, and I haven't had a single acne in months. The baby was trying to show the world that she's going to be a good girl, but is literally about to rupture my ribs from her constant kicks.She was a very active baby at just seven months. Two more months to go, and it could even get worse. Mikhail was busy getting ready, and he had been checking up on me constantly to make sure I was fine.I took out the hair curler and curled my hair into loose curls, letting it fall around my shoulders.Afterwards, I put on a light perfume, and stepped into my dress. The shimmery yellow mermaid gown clung tightly to my body, accentuating my curves. M

    M I K H A I LI drove my car into the driveway, and turned off the engine. After a few talks with the security guards, I walked into the house with a bouquet of Elle's favorite flowers.It was strangely quiet today, because I usually see Elle in the living room, either watching a movie or sleeping.I decided to go up the stairs and look for her in the bedroom. As soon as I twisted the door open and stepped in, I was met in a dark dimly lit room.There were candles everywhere and flowers and rose petals on the floor. The sight before me almost knocked the air out of my lungs. The sweet scent from the candles, her scent, it was all overwhelming. Elle was in a red lingerie. A sexy two piece lingerie, and her stomach was protruding. She looked like a goddess. One who God has taken his precious time creating under the moonlight, perfectly moulding each and every curve and feature.She was the definition of perfection. A gorgeous goddess. Her hair was flowing down her back, and she had he

    E L L EI was home all alone today because I just didn't feel like going to work. I wanted some peace and quiet, and quite frankly, I was too lazy to go anywhere.Today would be my off day. To sleep, watch a movie, snack and repeat.I had a huge bowl of popcorn and my eyes were glued to the TV, watching the romantic comedy I had rented from the library.It was a beautiful Friday and the weather was perfect, and I wanted to relax and spend the day alone.My phone was on silent and the door was locked. I was having a relaxing time, and no one could mess with me. I placed the huge bowl of popcorn on my belly. Yes, this baby was growing too fast that my belly was not big enough to hold the popcorn.I was a quarter through the movie when my doorbell rang, and I frowned. I paused the movie and sat up. Who could that be?It rang again, and then there was a loud banging on the door.I groaned and got up, walking to the door."Hold on a second!"I opened the door and was met with wide grins. "
