Elena could not shake off the feeling that Marcus was still involved in her life, or at least trying to be. It did not make any sense and it annoyed her. After all this time, she was finally moving on and he pulled that?She got to her apartment building and was heading inside when someone called her name. “Elena!” She turned to see her landlord, Herald.“Herald, hi.”Elena did not have a very good relationship with her landlord, mostly because she was always behind on rent and he never had pity. She always saw him as a grumpy old man who never smiled, but now he was smiling at her.“How have you been?”“I'm good, and you?”“Never been better. Finally got rid of this old place, and for a good price too.”“You sold the building?”“Yes,”“I didn't know it was for sale. How would this affect our rent?” She asked, nervously.“It reduces it. The notice is on your door somebody was feeling generous enough to throw money away and decided to buy this dump. It doesn't matter, I'm five times ri

The next few days felt like a dream. Emily had come back home to their tiny apartment and Elena planned a small welcome back party for her, it was supposed to be a little get-together where she would invite Gavin too and officially introduce him as her boyfriend.“So it's just going to be me, you and Derek right?” Emily asked as she set down plates on their small dining table. She had moved from using a wheelchair to crutches, and in a few days, and with more physical therapy she would be able to walk unaided, Elena could not wait.“Not exactly,” Elena said then set an extra plate, “We have another guest,” “Is it Marcus? I've always wondered what he looked like,” Elena felt her mood change almost immediately. She had not talked to Marcus ever since she called him to yell and he sounded sorry.“Are you okay, El?” “Yes, I'm fine. And no, it's not Marcus. It's Gavin,”“What? I thought you guys were done,” “We were, and it was complicated but Marcus is out of the picture now and Gavin

So far the highlight of the last few weeks of Marcus's life was Elena calling to yell at him. It was the first time he had heard her voice since they ended things or since she ended things with him and he didn't bother to stop her.He was a mess now, he could barely sleep, and he stayed up all night thinking about Elena and what their life would have been like now if he had just confessed his feelings. This woman was shifting his entire focus and she didn't even have to do anything. He started questioning if it was the right choice and whether or not his career should come before her.Elena was messing him up, real bad."Mr. Blaine? Are you listening?" One of his employees asked him and his attention snapped to the people in the board room. He was sleep-deprived and missing the woman of his dreams and yet there he was in a meeting trying to figure out the next course of action to hold the Singaporean deal."Um, yes. Could you please just repeat what you said?" He asked.The man opened

Marcus walked to his car and drove off to the nearest bar that he saw. He ordered a few drinks and proceeded to drown himself in alcohol. He knew that it would not be a good look on his image if he was seen but at the moment he did not care, he kept filling his system with alcohol and proceeded to feel the weight on his shoulders being lifted.His world as he knew it was crumbling and there was nothing he could possibly do about it.He knew that this day would come when his lack of a consistent relationship would make him be judged in his workplace. His father had screamed in his ear several times that he should become responsible and get a wife. For a while, he thought he could do that with Elena. He showed no interest in her but made it clear that he could provide for her needs from the start. He never meant to fall for her, if he did then it would defeat his whole purpose of trying to start a platonic relationship with her just so they could get married.But along the line, his obj

"Are you okay?" Emily asked Elena. Elena was seated in the living room, hunched over her phone like it was the most important thing in the world to her."Hm, yeah," Elena replied absent-mindedly and went back to her phone."Really? Because you've been in that exact position for the last half hour, what's going on?" Elena asked and sat down next to her on the couch."It's, nothing." "It sure feels like something," "Well, it's not. I was just expecting a call," "From who?" "Emily, drop it," Elena said and stood up."Is it Gavin? Did I scare him off?" Emily asked and followed her."What? No, why would you think that?" "Because you haven't mentioned him in days, are you two arguing?" "No," Elena replied, even if she wasn't sure whether or not they were fighting. Having had not picked up her calls in days. He was busying it and sending texts like 'I'm busy right now, talk later?" That was what he always said but he never made an attempt to talk to her afterwards. After the welcome d

"What?" Elena asked, trying to be sure she heard him correctly."I'm sorry, it's just...a lot is going on and I don't think this is right for me," "You're kidding, tell me you're kidding, Gavin." She said seriously, her voice void of emotion."I'm not, I can't keep going on like this with you," he said, not even bothering to look her in the eye while he talked."Like what?" She asked, trying to hold back tears. Gavin didn't reply, he just looked away. "Tell me, Gavin! Like what?!" "This! You have so much going on too, and your sister doesn't even like me—""Where is all of this coming from Gavin? You ghosted me for several days and now you're breaking up with me?!" She yelled, and a few people turned to look at them but she didn't care."Yes, I am. I know it may be hard for you to understand it properly but it's for the best, I mean you're still in love with someone else and I..." he trailed off again.Elena didn't say anything to him she just stared at him. She told him all of this

There was no way Elena could pay that fee and still be able to afford her house rent and her feeding for the next few months. She had also promised Emily to spare some money to cover up some of her expenses for the trip. So far things were not going as planned.Elena was snapped out of her thoughts by her ringing phone, she quickly answered it. It was Emily. "Hey, you texted me about a test?" "Yes, I did. I'm at the hospital and the doctor wants to get your cough checked out,""Oh," it was quiet at the other end of a while, "and how much would that cost?" "Emily, the cost doesn't matter. I told you not to worry about expenses," elena said, even though she had no idea where she would conjur up the money from."I know, but I'm still a bit worried. If you want we'll cancel the trip and I'll work and—""No," Elena said, cutting her off. "You have been sick for fat too long, you need to take a break and live out those experiences you couldn't have," "I know, but it should not have to co

“What?” Elena asked and moved away from him.“Marry me, Elena. I want to be with you,” Marcus repeated but this only caused Elena to freak out even more.“Marry you?! We broke up after a very complicated relationship and the first thing you suggest is marriage, are you out of your—”“Yes, I am. And it's because of you. For heaven's sake, I can't eat. I can't think, I can't work properly. I can only think about you and how bad it screwed it up, so marry me,” “I— no,” she said. The words coming out quickly.“Well, think about it. I can offer you everything you need, everything you and your sister need.”“I don't need your money!” She yelled.“It's not just money, security, health insurance, a better life. Think about how much you'll be helping your sister here,” he insisted. “I know the bills are much on you, there's too much for you to handle. There's no guarantee you can get a stable life anytime soon and you need that stability,”“So you're offering me marriage just for the benefits

Gavin was almost done with what seemed like the worst day ever.The meeting with his lawyers didn't go quite well. There was a lot of money still pending, and they were not happy with this. They gave him his ex-wife's list of demands to meet the compromise he had offered her, and well, it was very demanding.The only thing that made him smile was hearing Pearl talk about Elena. Her voice was still sleepy, but she talked on and on; he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride, but it was immediately followed up by regret. If he hadn't screwed things up, it would have been him that introduced Elena to the family.After Pearl fell back asleep, he picked up his laptop and tried to do some work, but he couldn't just focus, so he dropped the laptop and went downstairs; that was when he heard Marcus and Benjamin fighting with each other. He rushed into the living room to separate them because if there was one thing their grandfather hated, it was stupid fights in his house.He managed to

Elena was still on the phone with Henry when she saw Marcus walk into the house from the corner of her eye. She assumed he had some work to do inside and couldn't wait around for her to be done with the call, but she wanted him to stay and finish up what he was saying. She may have been wrong, but it seemed like Marcus was about to tell her that he loved her.If he did, that would change a lot of things about their relationship. It would finally be a mature and serious one, and she could tell him how she felt too. So, she quickly wrapped up her conversation with Henry and walked inside in search of Marcus; instead, she found Isabel."Look who it is," Isabel said, a disgusted look on her face as she sized Elena up and down."Good to see you again, Isabel," Elena said, deciding to take the highway and not stoop down to Isabel's level."I wish I could say the same. Somehow, you've managed to manoeuvre your way even deeper into Marcus's life to the point that you make him take you along

Elena's ringtone disrupted the moment and made Marcus stop talking."I'll just silence it," Elena said, reaching into her back pocket to silence her phone."No, no, it's fine you can take it," Marcus said. He didn't trust himself not to tell her exactly how he felt if they were left alone."Are you sure?" Elena asked, a bit uncertain."Yes, I'm sure. It could be important,"Elena nodded and answered the call, "Hello?""Elena," the person on the other line cleared his throat, a bit nervous, "It's Henry." Her supervisor. Elena's face morphed into one of surprise, "Hi, Henry, I'm sorry I don't have your number saved. I thought I told you I was taking the week off. Didn't you see my email? I thought you approved it—""I did. I know you took the week off; I approved it. I was just um, checking in, wondering if you're alright. " Henry said he was sounding a bit more confident."Oh yes, I'm fine, thanks for calling," Elena replied, then mouthed the words "my supervisor" to Marcus, who nodde

She walked upstairs, completely outraged, and pulled the door to their room open. Marcus was seated on the armchair in the corner of the room, working on his laptop, but he closed it when he saw the look on her face."Is something wrong? Did my family do something—" he had already stood up, ready to go fight with whoever had made her upstairs, but she stopped him."How could you give my sister that kind of amount and not tell me?!" Marcus looked at her confused before it dawned on him, "Oh, right, the money. I didn't think it was a big deal; I was just trying to help,""She didn't ask for your help! Neither did Derek," Elena replied."It was a gift; they didn't have to ask," Marcus defended."You could have at least had the decency to tell me,""I didn't think it would bother you so much, and quite frankly, I'm a bit confused about why you're upset; it's not the first time I've helped out without you knowing about it.""That doesn't make it okay!""Can you just come right out and tel

Elena watched as Marcus stood at the door, talking to Gavin. It made her really nervous. What if he was telling Marcus about their relationship? Would he do something like that?Her heart skipped a couple of beats when Marcus crossed his arms, a defensive look on his face. She couldn't breathe peacefully until Marcus turned to her, "Babe, Gavin wants to see you," he said casually and then gestured for Gavin to come into their room, then he left.Elena breathed out a sigh of relief; at least Gavin wasn't that selfish. And even if he did tell Marcus, he would have ended up with a broken nose and probably a broken jaw, too."I guess this is where the magic happens," Gavin said sarcastically as he walked into the room properly, hands tucked in his jeans."What do you want?""A favour," he said simply, and Elena snorted in response."I'm serious. I need your help," he said, his voice much more serious. Elena straightened up a bit and arched an eyebrow at him, "with what?""Pearl, my daught

"So, what are we going to do today?" Elena asked Marcus when they were in the privacy of their room after breakfast.As soon as she asked, there was a knock on the door, "Marcus! We have a lot to do today; we better give it a headstart!" Came Isabel's voice from the other side of the door.Marcus groaned in annoyance, "That, I'm going to be doing that. It's really frustrating that she's here, and my dad just had to add to it by making us host our investors!" Marcus complained as he ran his hands through his hair. "Marcus!" Isabel knocked again, this time louder, the entire east wing of the mansion could hear her now."I'll see you in the study, Isabel!" Marcus yelled back. There was a small huff and then the retreating of heels."Has she been here before?" Was Elena's next question. Marcus stilled a bit, "Yeah, a couple of times. You know how friendly my grandma is; she's always open to her coming around. We've also held some events here, and she's been around to manage them," he ans

"That's no way to greet a lady, Marcus," Lori said sternly."I'm sorry, grandma, it's just that this is supposed to be a family thing, and she didn't tell me she was coming," Marcus replied to his grandmother, but his eyes were narrowed at Isabel, who put on a sickly sweet smile that was obviously very fake. Marcus could see right through it. Isabel didn't smile a lot, and she definitely would not be smiling, especially after their last encounter before he left for the mansion, and especially not after he had been busying her calls since he came."I haven't been able to reach you; I was worried. And besides, we have lots of work to catch up on,""I know. I read your emails," he snorted. He looked away from her and pulled out a seat for Elena, who had not said anything since they got downstairs. She and Isabel did not have the best track record."Well, you're always welcome, Isabel," Lori said."Yeah, you always are," Benjamin added and winked at Isabel, but she scoffed and looked away

"Gavin" was the only word Elena could say. She cleared her throat and turned to him. He looked different, more relaxed, no more eye bags; he looked as good as he did when they first met.He walked towards her and sat down on a vacant stool beside her."What are you doing here? And with Marcus?" The tone in which he asked made Elena snap back to reality. He had no damn right to demand an answer or to be so angry at her."I could ask you the same thing, Gavin. Why didn't you tell me you had a daughter?" She fired back, and he visibly tensed."It never came up," he muttered."Really? Because we had several moments where we talked about our childhood and several intimate moments, and you didn't think your six-year-old was an important topic to bring up?" She countered."Elena," his voice was calmer now."I shouldn't be here talking to you," she said and stood up, but he held her hand, stopping her."Does he know?" He asked, referring to Marcus."No," "So the whole time we were—""He knew

Elena felt her food hang in her throat, and she started choking. It wasn't the best reaction to the news or the best impression on Marcus's family, but that was what happened. She was too stunned to swallow properly.Marcus quickly handed her a glass of water and patted her back softly."Are you okay?" He asked her, and she nodded."I'm just, I—" she stopped herself. Marcus could not know about her and Gavin. It would ruin everything, and there was no point she and Gavin were through. There was nothing but history between them, especially since he lied to her; he didn't tell her he had a kid."Is this meal too much of a change from what you're used to?" Benjamin asked, taunting her with his words. Marcus glared at him, "Control your mouth, or I'll do it for you," Marcus warned, but Benjamin just rolled his eyes."Gavin, baby, come over here and give your grandma a hug," Lori insisted. Gavin, who had been standing still in total shock, shook out of it and walked over to Lori to hug he
