ELOWEN

"Alfred..." I hesitated, pulling my hand back from his body as I raised my eyes to the robber that looked unbothered by the terror in my eyes, the paleness of my face, the tremble of my hands and the room that had just erupted in screams from every corner.

"How could yo..." My voice trailed as I stumbled backwards away from the body laying before me.

"And you'll be next if you don't comply!" The robber yelled, raising the gun in my direction. I flinched, folding my legs and pressing them against my chest as I crawled back towards the elevator backwards using my hands as a guide.

"You all would be next if anyone tries that again!" He added, pointing the gun to the rest of the people who cowered in fear as the nossle of the gun was directed at them.

"How could you?" My voice was shaky, matching the vibration in my hands, feets and the frantic heartbeat against my ribs.

"We're just here for one person, nothing else and if you all can comply it would be much better," the huge arm r

    RYAN"She was your payback plan?" She repeated, her voice laced with anger and doubt."It's not... I don't know how she heard that Celeste, I don't understand, I'm lost as to how she had to be there at that exact t–" she raised her hand, cutting me short."What in the world, Ryan?" She asked, her hand flying to her hair, her eyes squeezed in frustration as she took a step towards me."How could you have been so dumb?" She added, her hand striking my arm with more force than I expected, the impact causing me to change my posture."What was that for?" I asked, genuinely feeling the sting of her hit, and rubbed the spot on my arm while I looked at Celeste who looked like she wanted to hit me again."For being an absolute idiot, Ryan," she snapped, her breath coming out in sharp huffs as she paced the length of the empty bedroom, her heels clicking against the hardwood like a ticking clock. "Do you have any idea what you've done? You didn't just ruin things for yourself, you dragged me i

    RYAN"What the?" I ran my hand through my hair, confusion etched to my face as I spun around to face Owen.The anger pulsing my veins made my blood boil.I folded my hand into a fist, my jaw instinctively clenched and my heartbeat increasing by each breath I drew in and each exhale I made.I headed in Owen's direction, my hand already extending to his neck, all I wanted to do was strangle him to death. "If I found out you had anything to do with this, I'll make sure I get you back with everything I've got." I warned sternly, taking slow, deliberate steps towards him, my index finger extended as I pushed it into his chest.Owen didn’t even flinch, he stood there with that same crooked smile that made me want to tear his head off, his silence only fueling the fire burning in my chest. I lunged forward again, my fingers curling tightly around his collar as I jerked him toward me.My right hand pulled back, my knuckles set and ready to crack against his jaw, but just as I started to swi

    ELOWEN"Did something happen?" Celeste's voice rang through the room, a reminder that I was not alone and that I had let myself be fooled by both Ryan and his cousin.I staggered up, my sobs filling the space the silence between should have but I didn't care, Celeste had been an instrument to my repeated mistake, one I never swore to remake."Elowen," she called out softy, taking a slow, deliberate step closer."Did you find him?" She asked again, her voice wavering, lowered a little bit. She paused at the doorway, watching my every movement. I ignored her, quickly folding my clothes into a box."Elowen, I'm talking to you, hey," she reached out to me, her hand barely brushing past my skin as I took a step away from her."El..." Her voice trailed, taking a step back with a look of confusion etched to her face."Just leave me alone, Celeste, I don't want to talk, I don't want you near me right now and I definitely don't need you standing there watching me like I'm some kind of science

    ELOWEN"What? Go ahead, tell me I didn't hear it, that I was crazy, that maybe I had overheard the wrong conversation in your voice." I rushed out, my voice already breaking and my sight getting blurry by each blink of my eyes.I paused, watching his face, staring closely for an explanation, for a reason, for anything different, I was willing to take it whichever way he wanted to.But... Unfortunately, he hadn't said anything, he just stared at me with a mix of concern, shock and doubt in his eyes."Go ahead, tell me I'm delusional, I didn't hear you call me a payback plan for Owen, that I didn't hear you confirm all the accusations I had stood against for you." I continued, my fingers trembling as I pushed a lock of hair out of my face desperately."Gattina..." He started, his voice low but steady but instead of continuing, he held my eyes in a gaze filled with a concern I couldn't tell was real.No, I could tell... I could always tell, I just never saw a reason to–never allowed myse

    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,
