She Belongs With Me Chapter 55
"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

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

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'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

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

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

"Just a few more days sir, I'm begging you!" Elena cried. She was out of options, she did not know where to go and what to do now. "I have given you enough time, Elena! Pack your things in two days or else!" Her landlord yelled. "Please sir, a week at least, my sister is sick and I'm trying to raise some money for her surgery." She pleaded, tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Elena you're three months behind, I'm sorry about your sister but I'm also worried about my business, I'm not running a charity here, and if you didn't have the money three months ago, there's no way you'll have it in a week," he said, "two days," he repeated and left. Elena sunk to the floor, her eyes watery with tears. She was exhausted, she had spent the night at the hospital after her 12-hour shift and she had come home to her quick notice. She did not blame her landlord, Mr. Jackson, he had been very kind to her. He had given her extended dates but her bills were piling up and he was losing money; he had no ch

Elena opened her eyes slowly, she was scared. She did not feel any pain, was this what death was like? She was blinded by the headlights that were still blinking at her but the car had stopped a few feet away from her. Elena stumbled backwards and blinked several times, trying to understand what was going on. The owner of the car opened the door and walked towards her, "Are you okay?" Elena was still trying to understand her surroundings so she could not fully register his words or what he was saying."Lady, are you okay?" Elena looked up at the man now, her vision was coming back and so was her memory. "I— I am,""You were not paying attention." He deadpanned. Elena walked backwards and tried to get a better look at him. He was so tall, he towered over her, dressed in an expensive-looking suit; his dark hair was messy, his nose pointed, lips pursed, his jawline was one of the best she had ever seen with a smooth stubble coating it and his brown eyes examined her to see if she was ok

"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
