Elizabeth stumbles into her office in a daze, unsure of what to think. Surely there must be a reason August lied to her. Right?
She heads over to her desk and sits down. Who was the woman with him? Why did he lie to her and say he was in Taiwan? Feeling like she was going crazy with all the unanswered questions, she throws herself into her work set before her. She might be a bit upset now but that didn't mean her work would go on the back burne
August looks up at Elizabeth's villa as he drives away. What has he done? He never in his life thought he would be the lying type, but now he got caught out in a lie. Driving to his villa, he silently admonishes himself for not being truthful. Elizabeth didn't deserve what he did. And to top it off, he missed her big day so he could meet up with her.
‘‘What’s the point?!” Elizabeth exclaims as she buries her face in her arms. She could not concentrate at all. This thing with August was eating her up inside. It has been a week with no word from him. Maybe he had given up on their relationship.Joseph walks into her office with a frown on his face. “Boss?” he asks, ‘‘Everything okay?” looking at her with visible concern. She looks up f
August watches her as the elevator closes. ‘’Damn it!” he utters in irritation. Why wouldn’t she listen to him?! He needed to explain what was going on with Madison before she gets to a misguided conclusion. Running his fingers through his hair in annoyance, he glances towards her office and spots her PA staring daggers at him then proceeding to type on his desktop computer.Ah. She already had the wrong idea. ‘’Damn it!” he exclaims again and moves to leave the building. He takes his phone out of his pocket and calls her number, but as expected, she declines the call. He drives away from Blair Industries in anger and frustration.Something needed to be resolved before this got any worse. This was entirely his fault, as he knew he should have approached her about this sooner, now he might lose her over a misunderstanding. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots Elizabeth getting out of her Maybach
It was infatuation that led August to this. He couldn't just leave well enough alone, he couldn't just ignore Madison.He couldn't throw her away as she did to him.Two years before he and Em
Finishing up her latest design, Elizabeth sighs and hangs her head in her hands. She grew tired of acting like the separation from August wasn’t upsetting or troubling her, when in reality it saddened her deeply.She felt betrayed by August. After everything they had been through, he had just given it all up for an ex-girlfriend. She picks up her cell phone
August wakes up the next morning, unsure if last night was nothing but a wicked dream. He peeks at the spot next to him and sees Elizabeth’s sleeping figure curled facing away from him but still sleeping. Smiling and exhaling with relief as he shifts to face her and hold her against him. He lost her because of his stupidity, but he made sure Madison was out of his life for good. She was previously his muse, but she crushed his heart and spirit when she chose to marry for wealth. No matter what she told him a few days ago, his heart wasn’t hers to break anymore.
Madison Page looks up at August’s manor and grins sadly. She knew she lost August a long time ago because she chose money over their love but not a day goes by where she didn’t regret her decision. Years of being nothing but a punching bag to her husband showed her how karma worked, her son was the only light at the end of a very dark tunnel.She spots movement on the front porch and sees the manor’s front door opening.
August rushes to the stage before Elizabeth's head could hit the floor. A gasp echoed through the hall when she fell. He took her into his arms and went backstage, "Joseph, call an ambulance!" He instructed her PA and he obliged. He knew something wasn't right all evening, he could feel that it was more than just her nerves working overtime.As he strokes her hair, he thinks of the box in his tuxedo's breast pocket. He was going to end off her most specia
