ELOWEN

"Owen, what are you... doing here?" I stammered as I stumbled back, trying to swallow the lump in my throat.

"What do you mean what am I doing here?" He chuckled nervously, running his hand through his hair.

"This is a business cruise, for businessmen, I think I have every right to be here, El." He replied, taking a slow, deliberate step towards me and I took one back.

"Oh—" he paused, a quiet chuckle turned laughter rocking his form. I frowned in confusion as I watched him.

"Whats so funny?" I asked, irritation in my tone.

"You don't think I should be here?" He asked, his head snapping up.

I flinched, taking another slow step backwards.

I definitely didn't expect you to be here, I prayed that you wouldn't be here.

"You of all people don't see me as useful anymore?" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, my jaw clenching as I swallowed, my eyes set on his every movement.

"Why would I think that?" I asked quickly, my voice a bit shaky.

"Because you think I'm worthless just like the

    RYAN "Shit!" I hit the steering wheel violently letting off a loud horn as I nervously tapped the fingers of the second hand nervously on the wheel as I gripped it tighter."Come on!" I hit the wheel again harder this hard as I observed the traffic light go green.I glanced at the digital clock on the screen of the car. I was almost three hours late to pick Elowen from work as I had promised."Finally!" I exclaimed and stopped on the accelerator, speeding up as I took the next corner to her office block.I jumped out of the car and ran up to the elevator, impatiently tapping my feet on the ground as I waited for the elevator to open."Is the building empty?" I asked the man in a security uniform as the elevator doors pulled open. He nodded and I sighed, pulling my hand through my hair.How would she have found her way back home? I promised I would get her back home."Everyone?" I asked, looking around for a sign of her anywhere."Yes sir." He replied, making my heart sink deeper than

    RYAN"What the hell man?!" I yelled, narrowly escaping the glass bottle that shattered against the wall beside me."What do you think you're doing?" I moved away from the wall and pieces of glasses on the floor."I thought your were my buddy Ryan, my best pal, my best bud!" He blurting, staggering closer as he belched out loudly."You are drunk Owen, don't do anything stupid." I warned, glancing back at the pieces of glass behind me."You of all people betrayed me Ryan!" I paused, furrowing my eyebrows and raising them in confusion."I..." I raised a finger to my chest, pressing it into my chest firmly as I kept my gaze centered on his face. "Betrayed you?" I asked, my voice thick with shock and disbelief as I scoffed out loudly. "You are clearly out of your mind, Owen," I chuckled, pulling the door with more energy. "Maybe we'll talk when you have something better to say." I added, heading outside."You took her..." His voice came from behind, soft and cracked, stopping me in my tr

    RYAN"Is this everything?" The head of security nodded, gesturing for me to take a look at the time the video ended, signifying it was close to that day's date. He double clicked on the mouse, taking the video back by a few hours."That's all the footage I could get, sir." Sandra replied from behind. I sighed, running a hand through my hair."How could it capture everything except the dark figure Celeste said Elowen saw. The only explanation was the figure wasn't actually there, or it was someone who knew the camera placements too well and was able to avoid being caught on film."This is not good," I muttered to myself. This was the only means I had to catch the stalker and my plan fall through.I tapped my chin impatiently and turned to Sandra. "If there's a change of any kind, don't hesitate to let me know." She nodded, stepping out of the way for me to walk through.What other means could I use to figure out who it was that was frightening Elowen?I stopped at the elevator, tapping

    RYAN"Is she out yet?" Celest shook her head, staring at me bewildered."What?" I opened up my hands in frustration. She shook her head slowly, a small smile plastered on her face."You've really changed," she waved her hand over my form, her eyes sweeping through my dark suit."What are you talking about?" I asked, irritation in my tone."You've grown so much, it brings tears to my eyes." She wiped imaginary tears from her eyes and I chuckled, shaking my head."Please stop," I begged, chuckling. "But it's true, first you abandoned your flings with durations that were not up to the length of an average yawn, to becoming the perfect fake husband and gentleman," she examined.I was offended but she although she exaggerated, it wasn't exactly a lie, those flings never went past a day but what she didn't know was the absence of Elowen was the reason why I went on those countless flings."I think comparing those to a yawn is a bit too much of an exaggeration Celeste, don't you think?" I as

    OWEN"Oh Hi, Lilith," I held the phone up to my ear, my voice thick with disappointment."To what do I owe this conversa–" "Why haven't the papers been signed?" Her voice came rushed, barely above a whisper."What papers?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "The divorce papers I dropped almost a month ago." She answered and my head snapped up the dining table to the half empty sitting room, my eyes landing on the papers Lilith had left on the table weeks ago.I rolled my eyes, rubbing my fingers against my temples. I had completely forgotten about those papers, hoping she wouldn't bug me about it."Lilith," I started, frantically searching for a reason why I hadn't signed and why I wouldn't sign them, not untiti find a way to bypass the clause that stated my remaining assets had to be divided."Don't patronize me, Owen." She answered coldly, cutting me off."I need those papers signed by tomorrow." She snapped. "Lilith, I'm not signing your papers." I stated, tapping my fin

    RYAN"Prank call?" I observed the look on Elowen's face, searching it intently as she tucked her phone back into her pocket.My subconscious immediately went to Owen but I shunned it immediately, it couldn't, she already explained what was going on with him. It's baffling how he could keep calling her after she blacklisted his number but then again, Owen had always been good with technology, bypassing pass codes and breaching firewalls, I shouldn't be surprised."Uh... No," she replied, chuckling nervously and my eyes landed on her eyes, she was hesitating to say something again."It was Lilith." She added immediately and I forced a small smile.If it was Lilith, why did she hesitate to tell me?"Lilith?" I chuckled, trying to hids the sadness in my tone as I leaned in."Is something wrong?" I asked, searching her eyes, but she averted my gaze, turning to go inside through the entrance door."It's Lilith, she probably butt-dialled my or something." She said casually, glancing back at
