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:“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:When I stepped into the living room I discovered that no one was present, I heard a little bit of chattering going on towards a certain direction so I 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 the 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 p

    Mason's POV.I turned to face the other side of the room, her words few minutes ago got to me. But why would Williams come for me?I shrugged, ‘He wouldn't dare come close to me, that I know for sure.’ I said to myself. There has to be a reason why he chose Elena, something very fishy and suspicious.I sat up and came out from my bed, I couldn't sleep and walked out of the room. I wanted to breathe, I felt suffocated.On reaching the living room, I looked at the time. It was five minutes past Eleven. I walked towards the TV, switched it on and walked back to the couch.It wasn't Elena, something else was bothering me. I couldn't seem to place it, it wasn't Williams nor Elena. Why did i do such a thing for a stranger? Why did I get entangled with Elena? I couldn't place it.“Mason? Fuck you scared the hell outta me! What the hell are you doing here with no lights on and a dimmed TV light?” I turned to look at Vivian. She had the scared look sitting pretty on her face.“I'm just deep in

    Elena's POV.I woke up panting, my body covered in sweat. ‘Fuck! Why can't I get rid of Williams from my head?! He was a beast!’ I looked around the bed and couldn't see Mason anywhere, hearing rushed footsteps. I quickly got down from the bed and ran into the bathroom, I climbed the bath tub and lay there. I was scared, ‘William’s had come to get me back and take me back home' I said to myself.“Elena! Elena! Where are you? What's happening? Elena?!” Mason called out, but still I couldn't bring myself to get out of the bathtub.“Elena! Where's she, Mason? She's not here, oh no! Did Williams get her already?” I could hear Vivian ask her brother.“Shut up, Vivian! You're spitting trash, how's that possible giving the bodyguards and intruder alarms we have in the house?”“I'm panicking, Mason! My mind's racing, I don't want anything bad to happen to her.”I couldn't stay in the tub again, I called out. “Vi! Mason! I'm here, in the bathroom! I'm very okay, I just need help.”I could hea

    Elena's POV.I woke up the next morning feeling better than last night, I looked around the room. He wasn't in sight, must have gone out for something or probably downstairs eating. I looked at the clock, ten minutes to twelve. Fuck I woke up late.I quickly jumped down from bed, putting on my flipflops and rushed out of the room. As I walked down the staircase, I could hear cutleries and sweet aromas from food. I was starved.“She's finally up! Hey El, how was your night? Hope you slept well without nightmares?”I smiled at Vivian, she was her bubbly self so early in the morning. Oh it's almost mid day! “Yh, I did sleep well. I'm really sorry for the stress I put you through early this morning, forgive me please.”She walked over to me and took my hands in hers, “There's no need to apologize I swear, it's really okay. I had more to deal with Mason when he had to go through that phase, so it's really fine. I know you'll be able to get past it and laugh about it some day, just hang in

    Elena's POV.“Elena! What do you mean Williams stabbed you? When did that happen, were you still at your parent's?”“Huh? What did Williams do?” I asked pretending not to know what he was talking about.“No, you just said he stabbed you? I'm asking you when that happened, you look shocked.”“No! Nothing like that happened, it's my dream last night.”“Are you sure that's what you're talking about and nothing else? Did he try to touch you while you were alone with him?”“No, nothing like that I swear. I just happened to remember the dream, that's all.”Why did I have to say this out loud, it wasn't even related. This is fucked up! “Okay! Enough of the gloomy face, Elena get ready we are going to the mall. From there we can branch my brother's boring company.”I sighed, “It can't be that bad, I feel you're overreacting.” I said laughing.I looked at Mason, he still looked at me with concern all over his face. “Are you sure you're good, El? You're making me really worried about you.”Viv

    Mason's POV.I didn't notice Elena and Vivian had left as I was on a call in my study. I walk out of my study, bumping into a maid.“Where's Elena and Vivian? Have they gone out already?”“Yes boss! They already left, Elena asked me to inform you before they left.” She answered me.“Okay, okay! You may go, I would be going out soon. Tell Andrew to get my Porsche running, I'm not driving myself today.” I said to her.“Okay sir, I'll let him know.” I waved my hand signalling that she was dismissed.I paced about the sitting room, before leaving to go to my room. I was uneasy, I could sense it. I didn't know what to make out of Elena's words this morning, she talked as though it happened. Even if it was a dream, she wouldn't have blurted it out like that.‘What’s going on? What exactly is the connection between Williams and Elena?’ I asked myself as I picked out my outfits.A black suit would fit the occasion? Or should I go casual? There was nothing to do at work today, it was just goin

I didn't know you'd be here, I came to shop and happened to cross paths with you.”“Then why are you paying for my stuff? I don't want your money!” I said my voice raised a little, the sales clerk looked at me in shock.“Is there a problem, ma'am? Are you okay?”“Yes she is, sorry about that.” Vivian said apologizing to her. “I'll pay for the perfume, sorry about the chaos.” she added handing the card to the lady.“It's alright ma'am, I'll take your card now.” the woman said taking the card from Vivian, I had calmed down. Williams was still beside me, the flashbacks started again. I felt nauseous.“Are you done here, Vivian? I need to use the restroom, I feel nauseous.”“Do you want me to come with you? No! there's no need asking, I'm coming along.” She collected the card and perfume bag, crossing her hands in mine we walked to the bathroom.Inside the bathroom, I poured water on my face and gaspe

    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

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

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?
