Elli breathed in and out slowly to stop the tears, welling behind her eyes to fall on her cheeks. She clenched her fists gently to calm herself. She closed her eyes for a while, calming herself before starting anything.
“Are you okay?” Elliot Grande asked calmly. “Do I need to call your husband?”
“I’m fine,” she answered. She stood up and went to retrieved something from the drawing shelf at one side of the room. She clutched at it tightly before sitting down. “I have to do this. I will deal with my husband’s anger later.”
“Elli, I just want to be your father,” he begged calmly.
“I know,” she answered. She gave him a small smile. “But I don’t want to think that every time you will be seeing me, you will think that mom abandoned you. I don’t want you to think that mom fell in love with someone else that made it a reason for her not coming back. Because she

SJ sat silently on his chair and watched as Elli continued to talk with her father. He listened as she told him about her childhood, regaling him with stories that she and her mom did. She had also shown him the pictures that she has.He also noted that Elliot Grande seemed to have years added on to his life. The older man’s face somewhat had his wrinkles disappeared as well as the strain that SJ has noted when they met.“Sir, dinner is ready,” William announced quietly beside him.“Open up some wine, William,” SJ instructed.SJ turned to them as he stood up.“Dinner’s ready,” he said patiently. “I had Chef Andres prepared your favorite, Elli.”Elli smiled at him gratefully and it tugged his heart.“You should meet him, dad,” she then said to Elliot as she held his hand as they walked towards the dining room. “His cooking has always been perfect for my taste

SJ looked up from the paper that he is reading the following day when he heard a car driving up outside. He looked at his watch and saw that it’s only nine in the morning.He looked upstairs to see if Elli has finally decided to come out from their room, but he noted that she still didn’t. After she run upstairs, SJ berated himself angrily over what had happened. However, instead of going after her, he called up Brian and met him over some drinks. He vented out all his frustrations to his best friend and by the time he went back home, Elli already was deeply asleep.He then regretted over what he did, and his friend scolded him over that. Brian lectured him the entire time that were together.“You should have gone up after her and settled that fight!” Brian scoffed at him angrily. “She’s your wife, Kincaid! She’s not like those bimbo’s you’ve been dating. Get that through your head!”He woke up e

Elli was sitting on her bed in the room that was said to be hers when she was small when there was a soft knock on her door on an early Friday morning. It has been two weeks since she walked out from SJ’s house. Two weeks of crying and moping. Two weeks of waiting for him to come knocking on her door and asking her to come back. Two weeks of missing him terribly.SJ had never bothered. She kept checking her phone for any messages or calls from him. She didn’t get even just one. It only broke her heart even more.The knock came again.“Come in.”She wiped her tears when she saw her father at the doorway, looking at her with concern.“Sweetheart, you need to eat,” her father said as he took the tray from the help behind him and entered her room. He gently placed it on the foot of the bed before pulling up a chair beside her and sat down. “You need to eat for that baby you’re carrying.”&ldq

Year 2022SJ thanked the guard as he opened the swing door to Kincaid Tower the following Tuesday morning. He nodded as the employees greeted him politely. He walked towards his elevator and pressed the button calmly and waited patiently.“Kincaid!”He turned and saw Brian walking towards him, bringing his wife’s belongings. Florence is following behind him slowly, who is five months pregnant.“I told you that you can take that indefinite leave I offered,” SJ commented to her when she was finally beside them. “I don’t want your husband here to storm my office and harass me if anything happens to you while you’re here.”“I’ll be bored to death,” Florence answered, rolling her eyes. “Besides, Paige said that the baby is doing fine. Are you coming for the gender reveal party?”“I’m not sure yet,” SJ said calmly. “It’s the semi-final

Elli alighted from the car she is riding as she finally arrived home from Paige’s off-site clinic appointment. She was silently glad that Paige made that arrangement for her instead at the hospital. She thanked her father’s long-time butler, James Garcia, who also knows her and her mother.“Where’s Betty?” She asked softly.“She went to her therapy, Madam,” James answered formally. He followed few paces behind her. “Shall I have some refreshments brought up to your room? Your father called, reminding us that once you arrived home that you will be resting.”“That’s alright. I ate together with a friend after my check-up,” she answered. “If dad calls, please tell him not to worry. He’s making me crazy.”James smiled and nodded.Elli carefully made her way up to her room, sitting on her bed when she entered.“You’re glowing,” Paige commen

SJ waited anxiously as the Grande’s butler finally went up the stairs to call his wife. However, before he did that, the butler called her father, upon his instructions, to inform him of his visitation. He was tapping one foot non-stop and gripping his hands tightly. “Will you relax?” Vincent advised wryly. “Let me do the talking first, alright?” “I haven’t seen her in a month,” SJ said. “The last time we saw each other, she was angry at me.” “I couldn’t blame her,” Vincent mused dryly. “Try that doing to your wife and let me know what’s the outcome,” SJ challenged at him. He smoothed his hair calmly and looked at his watch. “What the hell is taking her long to come down?” Vincent smirked lightly. “She’s probably deciding to come down or not,” Vincent answered as he leaned back on the sofa and smiled up thankfully at the helper that is serving them their drinks. “I mean, she left you with anger in her and you never did apologize, so I’

“Are you insane?!”Elli remained silent, squirming on her seat as Paige started to lecture her the following day as she came back to her clinic. Her father sat beside her, his arms over his chest and looking at her stonily. It was Elliot who had to dragged her back to Paige’s clinic and tell what Elli is planning to do.“Elli, have you any idea what’s going to happen to you and the baby you’re carrying?!” Paige exclaimed intently. She looked down at her with her arms crossed over her chest. “Even a small or light collision will cause trauma to your abdomen. I know that you’re just three months but what you’re entering is a high-risk for you and the baby!“I’m going to be careful,” Elli explained.“The hell you’re going to be careful because right now, I’m not allowing it!” Paige hollered seriously. “I’m not going to let you do this, Elli.

SJ went out from the conference room that same day and proceeded to his private elevator with Debra behind him, pushing the button up to his office.“Congratulations on your reinstatement, sir,” Debra said with a smile. “I knew that they couldn’t handle everything without you.”“I’m sure whatever’s going to happen, you will be on my side, huh, Deb?” He asked with a lopsided grin.Debra looked at him seriously.“You know where my loyalty lies,” she responded.SJ loosened his tie as the elevator doors opened to his floor and he stepped out automatically.“Do I still have any appointments today?” He asked.“None, so far,” Debra replied. “Shall I hold everything off in case there will be any?”He nodded as he took out his phone and pressed one on his keypad. He waited patiently for Elli to pick up her phone. “Hi,” he gr
