All Chapters of TENDER NOTHING: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

  ELENA’S POV…..I couldn’t tell if that was surprise or anxiety in his eyes, the moment his eyes gazed upon me standing right at the reception, He takes a step back and with a slow deliberation. His eyes fell upon me from head down to my toes, those inspections seems to have lasted for an hour, but it was probably just a second. The air between us became intense and even as I stood there unmoved, I could tell all eyes were fixed on us, I took one step forward about to close the gap between us but then I didn’t know how his reactions would be, he needed to take the first action or word if not I would end up embarrassing myself in front of all his staffs. So I stayed rooted to that spot not saying a word nor moving an inch.“ Elena!!” He finally spoke in a deep voice, that was all I needed to move, I walk up to him and embrace him so tie that he could barely breathe, He was not home just yesterday but it felt like a whole year to me, I linger there in his arms more

 Mathew and Elena were so engross in their chat like nothing else mattered to them.“ It really feels like we have quite a lot in common Elena, why don’t we step outside cause it getting more noisy in here”“ I don’t think that such a good idea. If my friend comes back and am not here, he might get upset cause he had quite a temper”Mathew chuckle as he sips his glass of wine, that was the third glass he was having while Elena held on to just one.“ Is he your boyfriend?”“ Not really. Just a friend who has helped me quiet a lot”“ Okay. But I really think you should relax a bit, this is a party and more than anything, you should have fun, come on let take a look at the view”“ Okay. Since you are so persistent, but just for a few minutes!”“ Whatever the lady wants”Stepping out of the table, one of Austin’s

 Austin took Elena directly to a hospital. Even as he sat at the waiting room while the doctors and nurses attend to her, his face was blank there was no emotions at all. Austin only had that face when he plotted evil and this time, that was the only thing in his mind.He stayed with her throughout the whole night watching her while she slept peacefully. There is a knock at the door and Kenneth walks in.“ How is Jamir?” Austin ask“ He is a fearful man here in Russia and also a child trafficker. I made a contact to a friend and they are ready to help us deal with him”“ Do we have anything on Petrov or his daughter?”“ Not yet. They seems to be clean”“ Well we both know they are far from clean, the CACHE lunches in a month, I need that chip this week, get Ray to hack into every of their sever and get every dirty secret”“ Am on that! Why don’t you g

 Arriving at the living room, Kenneth was already there while the maids were setting out the table for the Chinese dish he bought.“ Kenneth! Hi, you are here, Austin was waiting for you”“ Yeah! I figured he was busy so I didn’t want to interrupt”That made her a little shy thinking if he came upstairs and overhead them before going back.“ How are you doing Elena?”He ask with a Stern look on his face which she felt was wired.“ Am good, thanks for asking”“ Can we speak, in private?” Kenneth ask not averting his gaze from her.“ Sure! We can speak outside”Elena reply with a smile.“ I will prefer the garden, come on let go”Walking out of the main house, Elena followed behind not sure what these was all about.“ How are you doing?” He ask again the moment they were both at the garden behind th

 After Austin finished having his first meeting, he was suddenly feeling sick, he rushed to the office, at the third drawer of his desk, he took out his bottle of pills and shove two of it into his mouth before gulping it down with a glass of water.“ Are you having a migraine?”Freya who just walked in questioned with a concern look on her face. “ I think so, am not feeling too well”“ Did you eat bacon?” A Stern look on her face.“ I took just a few bites” Without another word from her, she took out her phone calling the doctor.“ What are you doing?” Austin ask, as he fell on his chair.“ Am booking an appointment for you with your doctor”“ I don’t need a doctor Freya, am fine!”“ No you are not! You are never fine with bacon, why did you take it knowing the effect it has on you!” A wo
