Elena's POV

“Why are you crying?” Mason asked. I walked closer to him. Worry on my face.

“Who's that, Mason?” I asked. I had a feeling it was Vivian. Oh no, she must have seen the article.

Mason looked at me, mouthing Vivian. I didn't wait for him to finish as I hurriedly walked out of the room, heading to his office to get my bag. Vivian was still a young girl and news like this could influence her mental state badly.

Getting into his office, I bumped into Rodney. “Hi Rodney. Was it you who picked Vivian up from school?” I asked impatiently as I put my phone back into my bag.

He nodded. “Yes ma'am, I did pick her up from school. Is there any problem? It's her everyday routine. She doesn't come to the company except she feels like it. And you seem rushed. Are you heading somewhere?”

“Yes Rodney, I'm heading home. I'm pretty sure you're avoiding that topic and that's why you're feigning ignorance. Vivian must have seen that article and she called Mason. She needs someone beside her an

    Elena's POV“Vy? Why is there blood on your head? What did you do to yourself?” I asked as I released my hold on her.She sniffed. “I had an injury there earlier today. I fell because I was lost and I didn't watch where I was going. Don't panic. I promise it's nothing much. I'm really fine. I just need my brother to clear this mess before it gets any worse.”I looked at her. She was still too young to be going through all these. But I didn't know how to console her, so I just looked at her and smiled then pat her head.“Have you eaten? Rodney told me the chef said you've been crying since you got home. Why would you think your brother killed your parents? He's not a psychopath. He's got a heart too.” I asked looking at her with concern in my eyes. She avoided my eyes by bending her head.“I couldn't bring myself to eat as I lost appetite after reading that article. I'm afraid the articles might be true. My brother isn't all what you think he is, Elena. Apart from shutting himself out

    Mason's POV“No, that's not what I meant. I was just telling how hectic school was for me today and how I just love being at home.” Vivian said, her voice shaky.“Are you sure that's what you both were discussing? You kept quiet when I entered unlike all other days. Are you sure you both weren't gossiping about me?” I asked as I walked to the dining table. “And why are you guys just eating dinner?”“Nothing. I didn't have appetite earlier and that's why I didn't eat. How did it go? Any luck with it?” Elena asked, getting up from the table.I nodded and walked towards her. “Why are you standing already? Sit down and finish your food. Don't mind me at all. I just came home regarding what you said before you left. There is progress though. We've managed to stop the main data where it seems to be coming from and Dominic is tracking the blogger.”“Don't you think you should involve the police? I feel they'll make the investigation more easier?” She asked, worry evident in her face.“I'm no

    Mason's POV“Pardon me, I need to take this call immediately.” I said as I walked out of the sitting room into my study.“Hello Dominic, any good leads?” I asked.“Boss, there are a lot of leads to who could have posted the article but the problem is that they are not in the country at the moment.”“Then what are you waiting for? Get a helicopter and leave for whereever they are. Make sure you get one of those men and bring them back!” I ordered him, preparing to end the call.I put it back, “What did you say, I didn't get you!”“We found the main source boss. I was trying to say that those links abroad are not important since we have the main data link here.”I'll be there in twenty minutes. Send me whatever location it is and head out immediately. Once I'm done with what I'm doing here. I'll be there.”Boss hold on. We've got the exact person. It's a woman.”“Huh! What do you mean it's a woman? Give me her name immediately. What relationship does she have with me!”“It's Micheala bo

    William's POVI paced about in my room. The articles had spread faster than usual. Micheala had really used all her connections to make this plan work but where was she? They were being taken down and the fuzzy was dying.“Ahhhh!” I shouted, throwing the pillow on the floor. Mabel immediately came in. “What's wrong boss? Why did you scream?”“It's all fucked up! My whole plan has been ruined. How did he find out about this?”“I don't understand what you mean. What is ruined and how is it ruined. Talk to me, boss.”“Call me Michaela immediately. Tell her to be in my office before I return there. And be back here after you deliver my message.”“Yes boss!” She answered and immediately rushed out of the room. I sat in my chair but still felt uneasy with everything. Mason was not going to let me be. He wasn't going to let me have Elena and he was too quick to figure out who sent out that article.There was a knock on my door and Mabel came in immediately holding a phone. “Boss, it is Mason

    Mason's POV“What do you mean, Micheala? How does she know this much about you and what's your relationship with her, Mason? More importantly, what does she have on you?” Elena asked looking at me suspiciously.I sighed. I couldn't start explaining the whole thing to her. I stood up from the chair and walked towards the door. She called after me. “Mason! It is you I'm talking to. You need to at least clear up what you've said to me? Don't you get what's going on.”I stopped in my tracks and turned towards her. “I'm trying to make this articles all go away and I'm not in any mood for any woman chirade, Elena. You've seen Micheala and how desperate she was just on the first day. What more now? She has feelings for me and would do anything to bring me down if I don't reciprocate her feelings. Do you still want me to sit and have a chit chat with Vy?” I asked coldly.She looked at me, her eyes low as she stared at me. I could read the disappointment in her eyes. It was boldly written in t

    Williams POVI turned around to see someone I wasn’t expecting to see.“Where is she?” I asked not to waste any time.“She is unavailable at the moment and would be unavailable for a while.” Mason replied with a grin on his face making me take two steps backwards.“If you think you can harm me just because we are alone here you-.“ Before I could complete my sentence, I suddenly felt a pinch on my neck and I passed out.Mason's POV“He talks too much. Doesn’t he, Mabel?”Mabel got out of the car without any fear in her eyes. I noticed her movements didn’t seem to be fake or forced. Instead she held a look that said she already knew this was going to happen.“Yes, he does.” She replied before going to check his pulse. Her shoulders seem to relax further seeing he was still alive and breathing just fine.“What? You thought I was going to end his already miserable life? It makes me sad that I hold such a low position in your heart, Mabel.”“You speak to me with such familiarity. It makes

    Elena's POVI watched as Vy sat without a word while staring into space. I couldn't face her after literally telling her brother her secret. All I could do was sigh and move closer to her."We still haven't treated your head properly. Should we go to the hospital for that or I should have the doctor come treat you right here.She raised her head to make me see the tears in them and they made my heart squeeze."I'm scared." She whispered as I rushed to embrace her."It would all be fine." I alerted one of the maids to call in the family doctor to come check up on Vy before moving to hold her tighter."Why is he so selfish? Why can't he notice my plight too for once. Everytime, work. Ain't I important Elena?" "You are very important to him Vy. Remember he said he could burn the world if anything were to happen to you, and you know he won't lie about that.""I know but sometimes Elena, it seems what I know is not the truth."My brows furrowed as I was puzzled on her choice of words."Wha

Her beautiful heels tapped on the floor elegantly as she danced right in front of Elena's room.Elena heard the sounds of footsteps and turned to look at the door where the footsteps got louder but disoriented like the person was... dancing and humming a very familiar tune mixed with a very familiar voice.The door sprang open and Rose came in and shut the door slowly behind her before she moved to dance again while spinnin

    Damien's POVI watched as she picked up the phone to talk to Elena, completely ignoring my presence even as I tried to make myself obvious by serving her tea or giving her fruits.Her eyes were still focused on the device in her hand without even turning her pupils for a second."You better attend to your man before he swells up like a bullied child" she paused, confused , then turned to look at me. Instead of looking like the bullied child like I did a second ago, I only looked back at her like I was actually bored and not at all seeking attention."Should we go out?" I asked but she didn't seem to be hearing her words as she was only focused on Elena who was in front of her. With the background, it was obvious she was still in the hospital. It seems she's going to be there till her arm heals completely and I'm sure that's where the therapist is coming to visit them both."Are you two getting closer?" Asked the mischievous little Vivian who seemed to have invincible horns in her head

    Vivian's POVJust as we finished eating, he stood up to pay the bills before we entered the car of the driver who had been waiting for us for over five minutes."Sorry for the delay" Damien apologized while I rested against him, too tired to talk."It's alright" the man replied before driving off, I could hear him describe places in Europe but that's not what I was mostly concerned about, I just wanted to see it. The tower of love."We are here." I could hear someone say and without opening my eyes I knew it was Damien. He picked me up, placed me on my wheelchair while I struggled to open my eyes. Good thing he gave me a pair of sunglasses in advance."Where is it?." I looked around but couldn't find it. He stood behind me and turned my wheelchair around making me marvel at the beautiful sight which stood in all its glory."Let's go take pictures" he called a photographer he saw who walked over to take pictures of us."Sir pick her up instead, it looks too formal with the wheelchair"

    Damien's POVI felt nervous as she walked over without speaking a word. I could feel a thin sheet of sweat slightly covering my forehead as she walked over to the big sign.Did she want to tear it down? She doesn't like something like this or maybe she wanted something more glamorous.My hands fumbled with each other and I pulled off my glasses to clean them before placing them back on. She got there with her shaky legs and I wanted to walk over to support her just in case but I know even if anything could happen I'll be there on time no matter what."Yes I'll marry you" Her words broke through my whole being and I shivered as my teary eyes met hers and a bright smile followed her words. I couldn't help but rush over to embrace her, before my hands could wrap around her she suddenly raised her hand to stop me."Where is it?" She looked around as if searching for something which confused me as I looked around with her too."What are you searching for?" "You didn't forget the ring did

    Vivian's POVI sat in the plane looking around excitedly when he placed his hand on mine."Rest or you'll just tire yourself out" he spoke softly but I wasn't having any of it, I was already tired but I wouldn't tell him that, it's just a symptom. I'm sure he knew of the symptoms already, maybe he just wanted to act like it didn't exist and o wouldn't mind."No, I'm so bored, I want to play" I was cut off by a pair of soft lips smashing against mine. I mumbled and whined as he deepened the kiss and I couldn't help but feel fireworks burst behind my eyelids."There are children on the plane" a voice interrupted making me push away but the man in my arms wasn't allowing it as he pressed my body against him further but giving me a breathing space. I tried to push him away but his hands held mine. Even when I tried biting his tongue it didn't stop his wondering tongue as his tongue sank in to explore my whole mouth making me feel like an art being explored beautifully.I finally gave in t

    Elena's POVI stared at the man who adjusted the bed cover once again with his mind unstable. "She'd be fine" this sentence seemed to be what he had been waiting for as he finally sat down but his legs moved up and down indicating he wasn't calm yet."What would you like to eat?" seeing he still wasn't stable but he was nice enough to ask for what I'll love to eat, my heart warmed up."Porridge" I didn't want to stress him. He might come back with the burger I craved for only to be sent back so that I wouldn't eat it. This almost made me pout like I was being punished but I held my sorrows and asked for plain porridge which literally had no taste."Is that what you really want?" He raised his head to ask me and I stuck out my tongue with a childish smile on my face. Of course that wasn't what I wanted but I couldn't tell him that unless he'd be torn between listening to the nurse and getting me the food."Yes" I should have known this man had something up his sleeves.He walked out f

    Elena's POVI slowly opened my eyes squinting at the brightness of the room but someone stood up to block the sun which made me open my eyes wide easily."You need to train so badly. It seems everyone is just against you" were the first words I heard of the so familiar man and my heart skipped a beat then suddenly contrasted as he touched my face leaning towards me."I missed you" he whispered, his head resting on mine as my lips parted slightly and everything I felt like saying was taken back with a sob escaping my lips instead as I burst into tears."I'm sorry" my lips quivered while he shook his head with a small smile on his tired face."It's fine" I looked around to see the absent Vivian and a question mark seemed to appear on my face."What of Vivian?" Hearing this question, he suddenly paused and his eyes flickered around in suprise as if realizing something. He rushed out of the room without answering and I felt scared. Not caring about my situation, I pulled the needle out i

If she really needed help, it's so silly that she hadn't thought of Mabel before even though the two of them were sort of enemies.The phone rang just once before it was answered."And to whom do I owe this call" "Don't act so high and mighty. I need your help for something and I need it quick before it becomes useless" Mabel raised her brow with her mouth curling up onto a smile which would make anyone who saw her stay clear of her immediately."You do know everything depends on how good your deal is right?" Mabel tilted her head with her hand tapping on the kitchen table while every maid rushed to do their duties with no one daring to slack off."Actually it's not a deal, it's something we would both benefit from" "Does it have anything to do with ending Elena's life? Because that's what I crave for so bad right now""Yes, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. She's at the
