Chapter: Chapter 103“I didn't peg you for a childish ball-less coward Charles. I guess you're not high and mighty after all” I said with a dry laugh after Joyce left.“You might want to keep your voice down, Alexis”“I don't care if you're in love with a hundred women in Manhattan. You're mine. And that's final. Whether you're crazily in love with your wife or you give her a thousand kisses in front of me, I really couldn’t care less. You owe me a debt Charles and I’ve come to collect it” I said as I walked further into the study, “And don’t you dare tell me to keep my voice down. You don’t get to tell me what and what not to do anymore. If I want to shout and let the world know you belong to me, then I would. There would be no stopping me. So try as much as possible not to piss me off. And that includes the stupid childish stunt you just pulled right now. For your own good, that must never happen again” I warned.He let out a tired sigh as he swiped his palm across his face. “What do you want Alexis?

Chapter: Chapter 102ELIZABETH’S POV“I just don't think we should be together anymore” were Aaron’s words in response to my outburst.He just stood there, staring at me casually, like he hadn't just dropped a bomb on me.“W-what?” My voice came out lower than I had hoped it would.“This whole thing is messy. It's not something we can just come back from. Our families would never be united again”I blinked. “Are you crazy? Did you smoke something strong?”“What do you think is going to happen now Elizabeth?” he looked at me. “Do you really think your father is going to let all of this go?”He waited for me to answer. I didn't. Because I knew the answer to that. “Do you really think one big apology is going to solve all of this and Bruce forgives your mother and my mother forgives my father and then everyone is back to being a happy family and our marriage continues so peacefully? You think so?” he asked.I swallowed. No, I didn't think so. I didn't think it'd be easy. This was war. My mother wasn't backi

Chapter: Chapter 101“Go on, deny it. I dare you” she said, looking at me, angrily.I took a deep breath. “I don't know what you heard, but it's not what you think, trust me”“Trust you?” she scoffed. More tears flowed from her eyes, and she didn't bother wiping them off. “I should trust you? You want to tell me you didn't meet up with Vivienne?”“I didn't exactly meet up with her. She came to the office yesterday, unannounced. And she was there today as well, but I sent her away”“You sent her away today or yesterday?”“I sent her away today”“And yesterday?”I shifted slightly, not because I felt cornered but because I didn’t know how to explain this without her misunderstanding.I took in a deep breath before I started. “She came to the office yesterday, unannounced as I mentioned earlier, but I was about to step out of the office and she didn’t come with her car, so I had to drop her off on my way there. That was all”She stared at me blankly for a few seconds. And in my heart of hearts, I prayed she

Chapter: Chapter 100AARON’S POVMy phone buzzed on my desk, and the screen lit up with Ryan’s name. I picked it up and pressed it to my ear.“Yeah?”“Uh Aaron man, so I just left your house right now” I sat up. “What were you doing at my house this time of day? I work, you know right?”“Yeah. I went to meet Elizabeth actually”“You went to meet with my wife in my absence?”“Cut the bullshit,” I heard him snort. “It’s about Taylor, I urgently need to know her whereabouts, do you perhaps know where she is at the moment?”I rolled my eyes. “Is that why you called me Ryan?”“Like husband, like wife. So fucking tight-lipped” I heard him murmur. “Anyway, the reason I called is to let you know that Elizabeth’s mother showed up while I was there. And boy oh boy, the energy was off. There’s something cold and unsettling about that woman’s aura that….”“Hold up. Come again, Alexis is at the house with my wife right now?”“Yeah. And there seems to be bad blood between them. I just thought to let you know. She even

Chapter: Chapter 99“What are you doing here?” I asked, anger bubbling in my throat as I stared at the woman behind all of this chaos.She looked elegant, not that I'd ever seen her look otherwise anyway, and reeked of sophistication and composure like she hadn’t just been caught cheating on my dad.She had on a silk designer dress that screamed Givenchy with heels higher than her morals, obviously.Her chin lifted in that familiar arrogant tilt. “That is no way to welcome your mother into your home for the first time”“You were not invited and you’re not welcome here,” I said through gritted teeth.She looked from me to Ryan who was still standing there, looking at us.“Your boyfriend I suppose,” said my mum as she eyed Ryan. “This isn’t Noah, so you have them in multiples. Oh wow. Such a slut”The hell?I snorted. “You might have birthed me, but I’m nothing like you mum. The sluttiness? That’s all you”Ryan gave me a sharp look, obviously surprised I was talking to my mum in that manner.“Ryan get out,

Chapter: Chapter 98 - unwanted guestsA week passed, just like that, with me cooped up in the room every single day and just wallowing in my sadness.With each day that passed, I hoped and prayed, that Aaron would snap out of whatever madness he had going on in his head and seek me out.Every morning I stood by the window, watching him get into his car and drive off. And in the evening, I watched him get out of his car and walk in, and for each time I hoped he would come knocking on my door, my hope faded away because he didn’t.I was mad at him. But God I missed him so much.He made it clear that he didn’t want to see me, and so I decided to stay out of his way because I felt he needed time, time to sort out things, time to think, time to conclude that we weren’t at fault in any of this.A knock sounded at my door and I knew it was either Heather or Anna, it was noon and Aaron wasn’t home.“Come in”The door opened and Anna walked in.“You have a guest ma’am,” she said.I raised an eyebrow. Guest? Who could it be?“Who?”
