"What do you want, Owen?" I slipped a hand up the small of Elowen's back, my voice firm and low.

"This was your doing, wasn't it?" Owen asked, his voice full of bitterness and frustration.

"Did what?" I asked, feigning ignorance of what he was speaking about.

"You told them not to let me into Elowen's office building, didn't you?" He rushed, pointing an extended finger in my direction.

"I never gave specific orders Owen," I stated plainly, pleases with how seriously they took the head of security took my order.

"If they deemed you unfit to be there, it's all up to them," I added, running a hand through my hair, annoyance slowly brewing within me.

"If you would kindly leave and allow I and my wife a little privacy, it would be much appreciated." I gestured for the gate that was still ajar.

"If I found this was your doing, I'll get you back for everything you've done!" He blurted out, taking a slow, deliberate step backwards.

"Your threats mean nothing to me, Owen," I said, my g

    RYAN"I knew you would fuck this up, I always knew from the very beginning." Owen said from behind, his voice laced with mischief and contempt.I watched Elowen disappear gradually into the night fog, her movements faster than my senses could track, my mind hazy from what had just happened."Owen," I called out, turning around slowly.My anger was starting to boil over, heat rising to my neck as I approached him."What did you do, Owen?" I started, extending my hands to his neck, grabbing the collar of his shirt in place as I pulled him towards me."What did you do?!" I repeated, my tone spiking at a crazily high speed."You are going to lose her and it is all your fault because you never could keep your mouth shut when it mattered most and now she finally knows what kind of man you really are," Owen spat out and just stood there with a sick grin on his face while I gripped his shirt so hard my fingers were starting to cramp. I wanted to wrap my hands around his throat for making he

    RYAN"What's happening here?" I yelled, rushing in their direction, my vision finally losing its blurriness.I was right, I had seen Elowen and she wasn't alone, she was with Owen.And he had his hand on her, no around her, and she wasn't moving away from him which made my stomach twist into a knot because I couldn't understand why she was letting him touch her like that after everything he had done to break her heart.I could feel the air in my lungs tighten, my throat go dry and anger surge through my veins."I said," I began, my voice increasing slightly as I finally reached them and the tension in the air was overwhelming."What is going on here?" I emphasized, my voice increasing slightly as I grabbed Owen by the arm, yanking it away from Elowen's arm immediately.Owen stumbled back a step but he didn't look scared, instead he straightened his shoulders and looked me right in the eye with a look of pure disgust that made me want to swing at him right then and there."You're late,

    RYAN"Elowen was my payback plan against Owen." The words slurred out of my mouth, the alcohol dulling my consciousness, my subconscious screaming at me to get a grip on my words.I looked around the room, my eyes staggering off each face I could hardly recognise before me."She was a payback plan but I had always wanted her." I said, my voice lower than I expected. Despite everything that had happened, every time Elowen had pushed me away, in my tipsy state, my subconscious, deep down knew I loved her and I always would, no matter what happened and that realization was hitting me harder than the whiskey ever could.I felt heat rise up to my neck and I suddenly felt uneasy, the air unbearable for me to inhale, it smelled like smoke and I just needed to get away from the noise and the questions.I staggered up, lowering the bottle to the table as I held the chair for support. I felt the floor shift beneath my feet for a second but I gripped the wood until my fingers went numb."I'm...

    ELOWEN"Wait... Why are you here?" I asked, amidst sobs, my trembling hands desperately fighting against the wind as I tried to move my hair out of my wet face."Um... I came to get a drink here and cool off a bit..." Owen's voice trailed, his eyes running through my face, his eyebrows slightly furrowed."Did... did something happen?" He asked, extending a hand out to me which I avoided by taking a step back because the last thing I wanted was for him to touch me when my world was falling apart, even if part of me was screaming for someone to just hold me and tell me that everything was going to be fine."Um... No, I... I just... Something got into my eyes, that's all." I lied, quickly wiping my eyes with the back of my palm, trying to swallow the lump in my throat that felt like it was going to choke me, but the tears just kept coming."Are you sure you're okay?" He repeated, lifting a hand out to me again and stepping closer into my personal space, his voice dropping like he was try

    ELOWEN"Elowen was my payback plan against Owen." I paused, the air in the atmosphere suddenly going dry and unfit to breath in.I stumbled backwards, my hand instinctively moving to my head, hold it steady against the spinning floor beneath me.I didn't want to think about it so much or consider the words I had just heard but I couldn't, there's no way I couldn't.His words were resounding in my head.My footsteps slowed, my jaw dropped, and my pants suddenly felt useless, my exhaustion a mockery, a slap across my cheek."So what you're saying is... after five years, you somehow found a way to get her back into your life and then, signed a contract to get back at Owen?" I leaned in, listening in to the conversation.Maybe I was mistaken, I hadn't heard well and I was overthinking things.Maybe I was just being overdramatic and needed to rehear whatever I had thought I heard."Who...?" He turned towards the person on the left and I ducked behind a chair, avoiding his gaze."Elowen." T

    ELOWENI didn't even ask where "here" was because I was already looking for my keys."What?!" I shot up on my feet, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion."Ryan?" I repeated, glancing at Celeste through the corner of my eyes. "What's going on? Is something wrong with Ryan?" Celeste asked, concern thick and evident in the tone of her voice as she strolled in my direction."I'm sorry, maybe you're mistaken, it's probably not my Ry–""Ryan Sylvarn, isn't it?" The man reconfirmed and I could feel the breath in my lungs suddenly disappear, leaving me shortly of air and my heart, barely beating.I glanced at the wall clock again with more fear in my heart as my trembling hands gripped my phone, pressing it against my ear tighter."What happened?" I asked, trying my very best to keep my voice calm and controlled."The bar downtown, hurry," the man rushed, his voice a little rushed."Wait, What's going on? Is he okay?" I rushed out, my voice slowly giving off my worry and anxiousness."Ma'am, yo
