SJ gripped his phone after talking with William. He turned to Sam, who handed him the tablet, which now shows a live broadcast from the channel, NEWS TODAY, with their anchorwoman from the entertainment segment.
“I’m here currently live at the gate of Sebastien Kincaid’s villa where the duchess-in-waiting and wife, Ellisande Porter is staying,” she said firmly. She pointed at the house. “We have no sighting of Mrs. Kincaid, but we can confirm with the security being heightened, Lady Ellisande is here.”
“As we all recently known, Mr. Kincaid had ended his relationship with supermodel Carmela Steinfeld a few months ago. She even claimed that she was pregnant with SJ’s child but unfortunately she miscarried,” she continued. “Elli Porter was only known during that scandalous scenario that Ms. Steinfeld initiated where it was revealed that she is married to the young billionaire.”
“Cassie, has SJ

Elli sat quietly on the couch as she read through the statement that the PR team had prepared for them. It has been three hours since SJ told her what they need to do for now and she has finally informed him that she’s ready.She changed into an off-white crepe, vest with a wrap silhouette and gold buttons at the shoulders. She also put on a simple strappy sandal and wore the jewelry her mother gave. She tied her hair into a half ponytail and applied light make-up.“You’re beautiful as always,” SJ admired with a smile. He buttoned his polo shirt except for the top two and tucked them neatly in his pants. He put on his coat and Elli immediately straighten it out. “Do you know that I had envision you doing this to me?”Elli smiled up at him.“Thank you for telling me,” She answered as she straightened his collar. “Next time, I’ll do your tie as well when this is all over.”SJ tilted he

“I think it’s all an act in my opinion,” Joana Collins, a talk show host said smugly. “The body language says it all! She was stiff all throughout her dramatic statement on TV! It was totally scripted! Sweetheart, you’re going to become a duchess. What more are you asking for?!”“Just take note of the hair. The make-up and the outfit she’s wearing!” She continued to lambast openly. “SJ Kincaid is beside her to make sure she says the correct things in front of the camera! We all know how controlling that man is! Where else will he get it from?!”SJ turned the TV off, his eyes hard and cold. It was Monday morning and her appearance on TV had positive and negative feedbacks. It is still on top of the news since weekend. He turned to Elli, who is sitting beside him and remaining silent. He placed a hand on her clasped hands and gave her an assured smile.“Don’t mind Joana Collins,” h

Elli finally ended the conference call she had with her staff and closed her notes slowly. She leaned back on SJ’s chair silently, closing her eyes.Before, she had ended the meeting, her staff had told her the news circulating in the office. She knew they were doing it out of loyalty, but Elli knew that they are also worried of their attachment to her being her staff. Rumors had spread around their department now that she has been revealed as SJ’s wife, she will be exacting her revenge on those who had bullied her.“Ms. Valerie is rallying her group here to protest,” Natalie said in a low voice. “We don’t even understand where her anger is coming from. I mean, you had been promoted and you never filed a complaint against her. What’s the difference now from before?”“Perhaps she became insecure now that your real background has been exposed, Ms. Elli,” Winston added patiently. “But you don’t

February 14, 2013Valentine’s Day and my daughter just brought home several roses and chocolates and teddy bears! What the hell just happened? Where did time go when she was just little and used to come running to me with arms wide open and shouting, “Daddy”?! When did this girl grow up and became a sight to all those boys?Is this the time that I’ve been hearing those fathers all over the world are dreading? Where their little girls are no longer those descriptions and starting to become an attraction to boys? Well, I’m not going to let that happen! I don’t have any shotgun with me, but I’m sure I can scare those pests away with my wrench and drills.Perhaps I’ll talk this over with Norb’s wife. Get some woman’s point of view. Thank goodness for her. Elli had looked up to her like another mother. Imagine to my embarrassment when my little girl asked me for help to accompany her and buy some trainer bra

Elliot looked up from his desk late that night when he heard the door to his study opened. He saw Archibald and Ronald coming in and watch them occupy the two chairs in front of his desk.“I just got word that SJ and Elli came back to the city a few minutes ago,” Ronald started calmly. He remained silent for a while before speaking again. “They’re staying at SJ’s residence.”“Is that the reason why you, two are here?” Elliot inquired calmly. He leaned back on his chair and looked at them calmly. “What do you want to talk about? Are you here to convince me to drop the case against Jackson Kincaid?”“In a way, yes,” Archibald answered. “You know that he’s never a part of that crime.”“Yes,” Elliot stated calmly. “But, he knew where Alessandra and Elli were.”“Uncle, maybe there’s a reason why Aunt Alessandra didn’t come

SJ entered the conference room the following day. Upon hearing that he is back in the office, a meeting was called by the board of directors to discuss the situation that Kincaid Development is currently going through.He gave them a nod before sitting on his chair at one end of the table, beside his father, who is the President of the company. He took the tablet that Debra handed to him and looked down at the agenda for their meeting.It only contained two. The continuous decline of the Kincaid stocks and their nomination for him to step down as CEO of the company.SJ looked up and stared across the table, his expression unreadable.“Alright,” his father started calmly as he looked across the table. He clasped his hands on the desk and cleared his throat. “Now, let’s discuss the agenda. Steve, you can start.”“Thanks, Alex. I’m very sure you all know the ongoing news circling around,” Steven Bergman,

Elli moved quietly around SJ’s house a few hours after she had arrived from Kincaid Tower, bringing along her things. She sat on the chair at the terrace and stared blankly at the garden for a long while. She then covered her face with her hands as tears finally spilled down as she recalled the conversation she has with Florence.“Elli, I don’t know how to tell this to you,” Florence started patiently. She looked at Elli with a sad look. “But, with the ongoing news right now, the board has decided to take you off the team for a while until everything is over. I was not in agreement with it, but it was a majority vote.”“I understand,” Elli responded quietly. She clenched her fists under the table as she looked at Florence as well as her staff. “I would have done the same thing if I’m on their shoes. Maybe it’s for the best.”“But, you started this, Ms. Elli,” Natalie insisted sof

Elli woke up to a bright light above her. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glare and was surprised at the IV tube inserted. She stared at it for a while before turning to the side and saw Paige, looking down at her calmly.“Thank God you’re awake,” Paige said with a smile as she took her pen light and gently examined her eyes. “SJ’s been pestering me with messages for the past hour for an update of your condition. Do you know what happened to you?”“I was talking to William,” Elli answered slowly as she tried to remember. “I think I was getting emotional on what happened when I suddenly felt unwell.”“Uh-huh,” Paige stated calmly. “I’m just waiting for the test results, Elli. I have my suspicions already from the account William gave. It’ll be here in a few minutes.”“Did he call SJ?”“Yes,” Paige replied. “Un
