View MoreElena's POV:When I stepped into the sitting room I discovered that no one was present, I heard a little bit of chattering going on towards a certain direction so followed the voices. And I realized that Mason and Vivian were already seated in the dining room probably awaiting my arrival before they could proceed with their meal. Mason sat at the head of the table while Vivian sat by his left hand side.“Hi.” I said, as I made my way to the dining table. I sat by Mason's right.“This seems a bit too much for just three people.” I said, glancing round the table. On the table lay varieties of dishes: seafood salad, spaghetti Bolognese, Lobster Bisque, Crab, Chocolate Fondant, and many more.“Mason likes to have a taste of everything.” Vivian replied, while munching on vegetables.I turned to face Mason who was elegantly slicing a crab with a table knife and fork. “Are you some sort of a modern time Oliver Twist?” I asked.“I am even more greedy than he was.” He replied curtly.I picked
Elena's POV:“Mason has Alexithymia.” Vivian replied.“What is that?” I asked, already worried.“A person suffering from alexithymia finds itdifficult to understand emotions and also finds it hard to express themselves. It is a personality trait characterized by the inability to identify and describe emotions in the self.” She explained.“So in summary what you are trying to say is that your brother Mason has a low E.Q?” I asked, rhetorically.“Exactly.” She replied.“Has he always been this way? What I mean is, was he born this way? With the whole Alexithymia and all.” I asked.“Not really, it was something he developed along the line. According to his therapist, Mason had subconsciously shut down his Limbic System located deep within the brain, which also consisted of parts like the: Amygdala, Hippocampus, Hypothalamus, Prefrontal Cortex, Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) and Insula.” Vivian explained.“Did the therapist mention possible reasons why Mason's subconscious took such a b
Elena's POV:It was then that it finally dawned on me: I had nothing to wear.I searched around the room for my phone, I needed to call Mason and request for clothes. I only realized after a few minutes of searching that I did not get my phone back from my dad. Before leaving the house with Mason.“Oh no!” I exclaimed, loudly.I went back to the wardrobe and picked up a robe. After putting it on I made my way down the stairs in search of Vivian.Luckily, I bumped into a maid and I asked her for directions to Vivian's room. I followed her directions and stood before Vivian's room door. I knocked lightly on the door, after three knocks I heard Vivian invite me in.“Come in.” Vivian invited.I pushed the door open quietly and stepped into the room.“Hi.” I said, standing at the edge of her bed.She sat up, resting her back on the headstand and pushed her laptop aside.“Is there any problem, sister-in-law? Not that I don't love your presence here, I just want to know if your reason for
Elena's POV“I should be asking you that question. Why are you in my room?” I decided to act lost in order to save face.“Your room? Did you just say your room, cupcake?” He asked, and I nodded my head in response.“Look around cupcake, this room basically has a portrait of me hanging over your head as we speak. How could this be your room?” He asked, with a devilish smirk on his face.“Unless, you came here so that we could begin our honeymoon.” He teased hinting at the fact that I was staring at him.“Excuse me?”“I feel harassed, you must have raped me countless times with those beautiful eyes of yours. I don't feel comfortable standing before you, I am worried that you might take advantage of me now that you are completely mesmerized by my body.” He teased me further.“Call it a day Mason.” I said, dismissively. “Where is my room?” I needed to leave here immediately, I was already blushing so hard. If he notices then my dignity will be lost.“This is your room, cupcake.” He replie
Elena's POV:“Thank you.” I appreciated her compliment. “Where are your parents? I haven’t heard you say anything about them.” I asked.“They are late." she replied.“Both?” I asked.“Yes, both, on Mason’s birthday." Vivian revealed. “Aren't you married to my brother? How do you not know all these?” Vivian asked, putting me on the spot.“We didn't get to know each other, our marriage was quite fast.” I said , trying to not give out too much information.“Are you in a contract marriage with my brother?” Vivian asked.I coughed violently at the sudden question. “Can I get a glass of water?” I requested.“Sure.” Vivian replied. “Marie!” She called out for someone. And in less than two minutes, a middle aged woman ran into the sitting room.“Get her a glass of water, and also inform Victoria to prepare a full course meal for dinner.” Vivian ordered, with a wide smile on her face.“Of course.” Marie replied, bowing her head slightly as she stepped out of the sitting room.“We should go to
Elena's POV:Mason drove into an estate and took a left turn. I stared at the buildings as we drove through the quirtt streets, taking several more turns and driving deeper into the estate.“How far is your home?” I asked, as I turned to face him.Mason turned to face me. “It’s close, just a bit further from the other houses." Mason replied, turning to face the road.“Why?” I pressed.“You sure have a lot of questions, cupcake." he said, clearly avoiding the question.The thought of bearing the title Mrs. Brown was something I wasn’t quite ready for, especially considering the responsibility of accompanying Mason to business events and social gatherings. But there was one opportunity I saw here—training in combat. If I hadn’t been so weak, I wouldn’t have lost to Williams.I placed my hands on my flat tummy and whispered to myself, "If only I wasn’t so weak, I wouldn’t have lost..."“We’re here." Mason announced.I looked up to see a large terrace duplex standing before us. Mason lowe
Elena's POV:Stepping onto the front porch alongside Mason, I discovered that he had arrived here with just two cars, one Mercedes and one SUV.Funny, these two cars could buy all of Williams’ luxury cars put together.I watched Mason make his way to the Mercedes as his bodyguards marched up to the SUV, he held the door to the passenger seat open, gesturing for me to get in. I moved quietly to the car and made myself comfortable.Mason casually made his way to the driver's seat while my eyes followed him as he walked elegantly.“Did you drive all the way here?” I asked, as he entered the car.“I don't use drivers.” He replied curtly, inserting the key into the ignition switch. The sound of the car starting reverberated through the silent car.One of his bodyguards opened up the gates as Mason and I drove out of the house followed by the SUV. As we drove along the busy street I decided to ask Mason a question that had long pricked my thoughts.“How were you able to get all these files
Elena's POV:From where I sat I could hear the conversation going on between my mom and the unknown person that rang the doorbell.“How may I help you?” My mom asked.“I am here to see Elena.” The strangely familiar voice replied.“Who are you? And what business do you have with my daughter?” My mom asked, already annoyed.“It's me Mason Brown, your son-in-law.”I guess I wasn't the only one listening to them, I noticed my father's sudden change in expression and the icy aura emanating from Williams.“Elena!” Mom called out for me.I was about to get up and attend to my mother when my father told me to sit down. He instructed my mother to bring the young man into the sitting room, clearly wanting to prove to Williams that Mason was lying.After a minute, my mom entered the sitting room with Mason following closely behind. His bodyguards, who were much bulkier than Williams', took positions next to Williams' bodyguards. Mason took a seat beside me after my mom sat down next to my dad.
Elena's POV:“What are you doing?” My mother asked as she snatched the phone away from my hands.She ended the call immediately then looked up at me. “You even got a new phone, can you see this Greg?” My mom said, staring deeply at my dad.“Give me back my phone.” I replied, ignoring my father's glares.“Who were you calling just now?” My father asked, already upset.He doesn't deserve to question me, no one deserves to question me. I fucking died. Because of their greed and deceit, I watched myself get stabbed to death.“I am going to ask you that question one more time and if I don't get a reply. I will make sure you hate yourself.” My father threatened. “Who were you talking to over the phone?” He asked.“I was talking to someone that would get me out of this shit hole.” I replied rudely.“Who told you about this alliance?” He asked further.“I just happen to know.” I replied curtly.“I am glad you know now, it should make things a lot easier. Your mother was arrested a few days a
