LILITH"Liam?" I called out as I strolled down the hospital tiled floor. I pulled out the crumbled divorce papers Owen had finally signed."Yes, Mrs Hill," Liam's voice came through the phone."How long does it take for a divorce paper and asset division to be processed?" I asked, trying to hide the desperation in my voice."Divorce papers wouldn't take a while to process but well..." He trailer and I paused in my tracks, my grip around the phone tightening as I held the phone firmly against my ear."Go on," I said impatiently, tapping my feet on the marble tile vigorously."Asset division, well that would take a while considering it has to do with Mr Hill's properties." He explained and I furrowed my eyebrows.How did he know it was Owen's assets I was referring to? I hadn't exactly named Owen, yet he assumed it immediately."What do you mean Mr. Hill's property?" I asked immediately, my voice dropping, lowering myself onto the nearest bench in the waiting room, ignoring the strange

ELOWEN"Um..." I pulled away from him slowly, as I fiddled with my fingers. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, searching my face with a sad look in his eyes. "Gattina, is something wrong?" He asked, his eyes still searching my face intently, an expression of confusion etched to his face."Um..." I stammered, my brain searching for a way to ask about the conversation he had with Celeste few minutes ago."You know you can talk to me right?" He asked, taking a close closer, reducing the distance between us by half an inch."I know..." I trailed, looking everywhere else but his face as I drew tiny circles onto the ground with my toe."You promise not to keep anything else away from me right?" I asked, desperately trying to swallow the lump that had been stuck in my throat since I overheard their conversation about me. "I promise." He stated firmly, making a criss-cross over his chest with his right hand, then raising it to the air as he shut his eye momentarily, a gesture of genuine hon

ELOWEN"I... it's not what you...um, you think." I scrambled to my feet, frantically dusting the imaginary dirt off my clothes."Um... this is um...not usually what I do," I bounced off the heel of my feet, looking around nervously."You don't usually eavesdrop and mistakenly fall through the door?" Celeste asked, her voice holding a hint of amusement and surprise."Yes, precisely." I answered, clearing my throat quietly as I rubbed the back of my neck slowly, trying my best to avoid Ryan's gaze that I felt had been on me since I fell into the room."Well... I'll be on my way then." I rushed, already halfway through the door when a hand caught mine in a gentle but firm grip."Elowen, wait." Ryan's voice filled the short lived silence, sending shivers down my spine and goosebumps ran through my skin.I stopped, turning back slowly to face him. We stood there for a long moment, our eyes locked and the air between us thickened with the unspoken words and feelings. The anger and betraya

ELOWEN"How do I find out she'd listen?" I paused by the door frame leading to Ryan's room, leaning in slightly.Are they talking about me? I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and moved a little bit closer, practically holding the door frame for support."Only when you try.""You need to understand she doesn't need your protection Ryan, she's stronger than you think." Celeste said, her voice low and controlled.At least she understood how I feel, and I appreciated the fact that she did, even when Ryan didn't understand how I felt and a spark of relief flickered inside me, knowing someone in this house was on my side and understood why his actions had hurt me so deeply.I listened intently as Ryan started up again, his voice filled with a hint of anger. "I feel so stupid, Celeste, I truly thought I was doing the right thing for her but I was so wrong," he confessed, the words thick with painful regret. "I am so incredibly sorry for invading her privacy like that, for making a move th

RYAN"What does she mean the stalker has been caught?" I muttered to myself for the fifth time that minute.I was so sure it had been Owen, how had I been wrong?I paced around on the ground of my room, my eyes bouncing off one corner to the other in anxiety."He acted like he was trailing her and was not going to stop as far as I'm involved." I kicked the air hard, my foot cutting through the air before slumping onto the ground, wiping my face with my hands."Oh, please don't tell me you're crying," Celeste voice came from the door and I flinched, raising my gaze to her form."Of course not." I cleared my throat, pulling my hands away from my face."Don't seem like it." She countered, strolling into the room, stopping in front of me and propping her hands up by her waist."I just don't understand, Celeste, I was only trying to help her out," I started, the words tumbling out in a rush, desperate to justify my actions and my intentions. "I wasn't trying to be an enemy, I was trying t

OWEN "He did what?" I repeated, my mind hazy and my ears rejecting the last set of words I had just heard."No, check again, that's not possible." I moved towards the dinning table, settling down and pulling my laptop open as I searched for the current market stocks."I just saw the news now after I received a call from his personal assistant." I sighed, running a hand through my hair in frustration."How could this have happened?!" I asked as my eyes landed on the stocks for my company that was already below the standard range and was still going down."Well, sir, I have been trying to reach to let you know of the current situation but you were not picking up, nor replying my emails about them." He rushed, taking a deep breath afterwards."Fuck!" I sighed, running a shaky hand through my hair.The desperation was evident as my eyes landed on the ticker for my company, the stock was already taking a dive, sitting below the standard range, the red arrow indicating its gradual decline.
