"Has she left already?" I panted, looking frantically past Alfred who was dusting the mantelpiece to the closed door.

I had woken up an hour and a half late than I usually did, which unfortunately meant an hour after she was gone.

"I'm afraid so, sir," Alfred replied, pausing his dusting and looking up at me. I sighed, cussing under my breath.

"Did she have breakfast this time?" He shook his head slowly.

"I'm afraid not sir." I sighed again, running my hand through my hair.

It's been two weeks, since Owen's office.

Since I last saw that happy Elowen in my car, her smile and heard her laughter.

Every time I think we just might be bonding, she vanished into thin air, no explanations whatsoever, only the guilt that I did something terribly wrong left behind eating at my self esteem and conscience.

Every attempt at getting her to talk to me, or sit a bit with me failed woefully.

In her morning runs, running off to work, in the kitchen, evenings I made sure I was in to see her walk t

    OWEN"Hey! You can't park here!" The knocking on the window was dulled out by the loud music blasting from the car's system.The knocking came again and I groaned, winding the window down so I could see the face matched to the angry voice that had been yelling muffled words to me for the past ten minutes."How can I help you, sir?" I asked, my voice as polite as I could make it. The man held his hand up to his nose, his face scrunching up into a frown then a confused expression."You can't park here mister." He said, his voice firm and thick with anger as his eyes searched the car suspiciously. "I won't be here long," I muttered, my hand already on the button to wind up the window when the man angrily slammed his hand down on the window, holding it down."This is a fire lane, and you're blocking the delivery entrance for the bakery.""I won't be here long," I muttered dismissively, my hand already on the button to wind up the window, signaling the end of the conversation because I di

    ELOWEN"Woah, I'm starving," I half muttered as I strolled into the kitchen with my hand over mouth suppressing a yawn.I paused in my tracks as my gaze landed on Celeste's form by the counter, staring me dead in the eye.Our eye contact lingered, seeming excruciatingly long, then she broke the intense gaze, leaving me with more guilt than before."Celeste," I reached out and grabbed her by the arm. Her head snapped back to my form, her eyes holding an unreadable expression. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been rude to you, I was pissed about everything and I couldn't control how mad I was," I rushed out, keeping my gaze squarely on her face but she didn't hold mine."Celeste?" I called out softly, hoping she would let go of whatever grudge she must have against me.She sighed, her eyes finally landing on mine. "I'm not mad at you, Elowen." She finally breathed out, turning to look me in the eyes."The person I'm mad at is myself." She took a deep breath and exhaled deeply."I should ha

    LILITH"Hey, I came as fast as I could." I said hurriedly as I half sprinted to the corner of the restaurant Marcus was waving at me from."Have a seat," he started and I lowered myself to the seat in front of him."It sounded urgent, what's up?" I asked, grabbing the glass of water in front of him and chugging it down.Lowering the glass, I noticed he didn't look as troubled as he sounded on the phone instead he looked calm, too calm."Marcus," I called out, clearing my throat loudly as I lowered the cup back to the table, forcing myself to relax into the chair as I stared intently at him."Yes, Lilith," he replied, and his voice was completely level, completely devoid of the frantic energy he had displayed on the phone."Why were you sounding so frantic over the phone?" I asked, my heartbeat finally stabilizing enough for me to process his lack of panic. "You sounded like there was an emergency, like the police were after you or something.""Would you want something to eat?" he ask

    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
