Elli smiled politely at the waiter after her order as well as Luisa’s are served inside the Museum Café late Friday afternoon. She called her good friend and invited her for an early dinner and then check out an exhibit she was invited to and to watch a movie. She automatically reached for her cup of coffee.
“You’re glowing, Elli. I could see some good changes in you,” Luisa commented with a smile. She gave her a thorough scrutinizing look, nodding with approval. “Looks like those four days up there in his villa did something good to you. So, did you enjoy it?”
Elli blushed and Luisa laughed. Her friend reached out and squeezed her arms lightly.
“You don’t need to tell me,” Luisa said with a grin. “Your blush says it all. I’m so happy for you, Elli. It’s about time that you start having your happiness.”
“I hope so,” Elli echoed.
Luisa looked at her with

SJ opened his eyes early the following day and stared at the clock on the wall. It read five thirty in the morning, and he rubbed his eyes gently with his free hand before turning and looking down at his sleeping wife.Elli is sleeping deeply with his one arm wrapped around her shoulders. She had snuggled deeply into his side, her one arm draped across his chest while the other is cushioned underneath her.He stared at her perfectly trimmed, thick eyebrows, long and curly eyelashes and dainty, elegant, pixie nose. Her eyes when she will open them shows the deepest set of blue he has stared at and the way it will lit up when she smiles along with her soft, red lips. He liked running his hands along her smooth and velvety fair complexion skin and wrapped his arms around her slightly hour-glass figure. She isn’t on the voluptuous side like the other women he dated, but he wouldn’t change a damned thing about her. She was perfect.He looked at her calmly

Elli stared at the two pictures she took from the files that SJ had given her. One picture was of her during her 8th birthday together with her mom and dad. She was tearing the gift that her mom was holding with a big smile on her face while her father was holding her carefully, looking at her with love on her eyes. The other picture was of her in her second birthday. Her mom was probably on her knees looking at her with a loving smile on her face while a two-year-old Elli was bending down over her cake being held by a man with a birthmark on his right arm.Are you, my father? She wondered, staring at the picture.She had checked her album especially on during her first to third birthday as her husband pointed out. He explained that she is being carried by a different man, who he said could be her real father.Elli had then frantically searched her album, looking at the photos intently for any face she could point that belongs to the man holding her,

It has been more than a month since Elli felt in her heart that SJ lied to her. She went out from the car on a Wednesday morning, that SJ had purposely assigned to her three blocks away from the office. Much to her husband’s chagrin, which she’s sure that her bodyguards had reported, she vehemently refused to be dropped off in front of the office building.“Why do you have to defy me, Elli?” SJ had asked after the first day she was dropped off. He had gone straight to her apartment after the day was over. “Stu informed me that you insisted to be dropped off several blocks away from the building. Why?!”“I already said yes to the car, okay?” Elli only replied calmly. “Please don’t force me to do things I am not yet ready to do.”“I am not forcing you. You should know that already,” he insisted lightly. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “It’s for your safety and

SJ looked up from his plate when he noticed that Elli is moving her food around as they are having their lunch in a private room at The Flavors of Milan. He watched her for a while before finally putting down his fork and knife. “Don’t you like the food?” He asked calmly. “You can always order again.” Elli shook her head. “The pasta’s great,” she answered as she leaned back on her chair. “What’s going on, then?” SJ asked firmly as he took a drink from his glass. “If there’s nothing wrong with your food, then what’s bothering you?” She looked at him patiently. “You were ill-mannered to Archibald a while ago,” she finally said pointedly. “I don’t see the reason for you to be acting like that. He was grateful that the project was implemented based on what the office had shown to them.” “So, is this why you’re acting like an immature?” He returned. “You’re the one who is immature, SJ,” she scoffed lightly. “Don’t turn aroun

Elli laid on her side quietly as she watched her husband’s chest rising and falling as he continued to sleep peacefully. She smiled slightly as she continued to look at him, knowing that one of the reasons that her heart is beating is because of him.She loved this man! She can’t do anything about it now and she had no regrets over it.She looked out through the window and saw the remains of the sunset.SJ made love to her the moment the door to their room closed. She noticed that he made love to her with such urgency, and she was surprised that she was able to meet his demands. Although, she thought ruefully that he had his way with her in the car, on their way to the villa.She carefully stood up from the bed, making sure not to disturb him. She walked to the bathroom, closing the door, and turned on the shower. She took a shower, removing all the evidence of their lovemaking. She reached for the soap, surprised that he was using hers. She k

Elli adjusted her ID the following day as she was about to enter Kincaid Tower from her lunch break. It was one of her staff’s birthday and she took them out and treated them for lunch.“Look! Racing season will open this weekend!” Natalie, her staff gushed when they entered the building and saw the exhibit of the Kincaid’s race car last year along with the awards, they won and individual posters and standees of their racers. “It’s a good thing that I was able to reserve for tickets. Dad’s a fan!”“The ticket I bought is for the fourth leg already,” Winston commented as he stopped to check the car. “But I saw this car last year. It had a great performance. Too bad we only got second.”“Perhaps this season will be our year,” Natalie said hopefully. “We’ll go ahead, Ms. Elli.”Elli nodded as she stopped in front of one standee of the exhibit.The ent

SJ paced back and forth impatiently along the hallway outside the Presidential Suite of Kincaid Medical Institute, an institution that was built by his grandfather’s father and remains one of the best healthcare facilities in the country and continuing to develop to become better.“SJ!”He looked up and saw his mother, running towards him, her face anxious.“I left my function as soon as you called but traffic was unbearable. Your dad is on his way, too,” Mrs. Kincaid said as she grabbed SJ’s hand. “How’s Elli? Is the doctor still checking her? What is taking them so long?”“Sir,” Sam said formally.He turned and took the tablet from his bodyguard and watched videos uploaded online of Carmela attacking Elli. He slid the tablet, and an article came up from the online gossip column, The Juicy Scoop, with the headline in big, bold letters, “MARRIED!!!” along with a photo of

True to SJ’s expectation, Carmela didn’t agree on SJ’s challenge that he is willing to undergo a paternity test. After checking with his cousin, Paige, who is an Obstetrician explained to SJ that he can be able to determine if the child that Carmela is carrying is his.“We have three different ways to test paternity before a baby is born,” Paige explained to him patiently. She looked at SJ, who is listening quietly with his mother beside him as well as his PR and Legal team. “They are as accurate as those performed after a child's birth.”“One of the three methods is the Noninvasive prenatal paternity test orNIPP,” she continued. “This test analyzes fetal DNA found in a pregnant woman's blood during the first trimester. If Carmela says she is two months pregnant, let’s wait for it to turn three and extract blood.”SJ nodded and he turned to his team.“You know what to do.&
