Elon : Her secret admirer. THIRTY-THREE
Elon held his phone in his hands, contemplating whether to join Tinder and look for love or not. Was it worth it? He asked himself, swiping on Tinder, until he stopped on one profile. The woman had a beautiful smile, and something had drawn his attention to her, but as to what it was, he had yet to figure it out. He tapped on her profile, instantly matching her with him. Ida's phone vibrated in her pocket as she led a presentation. She was itching to reach into her pocket to get the phone, but she ignored it and continued with her presentation. There was more time to browse on her phone after this deal had pulled through. Elon checked the calendar on his wall; there were five days left until his father's surgery. He was wondering if he should let his mom know that he was also suffering from the same sickness as his father was. Now isn't a good time. He told himself. His mother was already occupied with taking care of her husband, telling her this would do her harm rather than good

" I think love is not meant for me; I've been treated unfairly because of love." Ida reread the message again. " What do you mean by that?" she texted him, waiting for a reply. Instead of him replying, he called her. She had practiced her fake voice, so she wasn't bothered about being caught. " Hi," he said through the phone. " Hello, how are you doing today?" she answered. Elon was quiet on the other side of the line for a while. Her voice sounded silky and beautiful. " Good, what about you, beautiful?" he replied. " Nothing much, just laying around waiting for your reply on my last message." “ was caught up with a few things; that’s why I couldn’t reply,” Ida said. “ By the way, Elon, how can the heir to the Maximilian Empire be single? What happened? Is there a story to this?” She asked, waiting for answers from him. “ Nice assumption; there is a background story, actually. But it’s not important; I got heart broken at the end. Can we change the topic if you don’t mind? I
Elon : Her secret admirer. THIRTY-FIVE.
Elon and Ida, posing under the disguise of Michelle, had grown quite close to each other, but Elon hadn't requested to see her in person yet for reasons best known to him. Ida had also been quite busy with some projects at work; she barely had time to go out for a drink. She canceled her schedule today because Aly had asked her to come over to the hospital to be there for her since her dad was having his surgery today. The whole family was present to meet him when he came out of the OR. Nurses and doctors were walking up and down and were not giving any answers to Kai's family. Elon had spoken to the doctor three times, but all he said was " Everything was under control," but it didn't seem so. Xara was on the verge of breaking down at any given second with the way things were unfolding. " Time of death: 5:59 PM," the doctor announced to his team, covering Kai's dead body up. He had fought a good fight but was unable to win this battle. The doctor walked out of the OR toward the fam

" I made breakfast," Ida said as soon as he descended the staircase. He was about to say he wasn't hungry until his stomach rumbled, giving him away. He walked towards his table and grabbed his coffee flask. He noticed it was full as he kept it in his bag, taking a seat at the table. She had made some bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, baked beans, and a glass of orange juice. Ida was having a hard time sitting still since her neck and back were stiff because of how and where she slept yesterday night. Elon noticed she was uncomfortable and was about to ask her about it when she got up from the table. " I can drop you off at work if you don't mind," he suggested. " Don't bother; I need to take care of some stuff before heading off to work. I'd see you when you get back, and do have a nice day today," she replied, climbing upstairs to her room. Elon shrugged it off, gulping his drink in a go and walking out of the door. Ida lay with her back on the bed, hoping that would help ease the pa

Maybe he didn’t want me here anymore. Ida lay on the bed, thinking. It had been a month since Kai had died, and Elon wasn’t any better. He acknowledged her presence but hardly spoke a word to her. His dad’s funeral was today, and she had to be strong for them. She could deal with her thoughts later. She had heard Elon when he was preparing to leave for the funeral grounds. He was supposed to be there earlier than everyone. She had heard a slight knock on the door but pretended to be asleep, so he left. She couldn’t face him yet at that moment. After her simple make-up, Ida slipped into her black self-portrait off-shoulder jersey midi dress. She secured the fascinator in her hair and then slipped into her 3-inch Loui Vuitton boots and grabbed her black clutch. She looked in the mirror, taking in a deep breath before leaving her room, leaving behind a whiff of her Chanel perfume.Alyona turned for the umpteenth time, trying to spot Ida in the crowd. She thought she was coming with Elo

Raelyn was six months into her pregnancy, yet she was glowing. Pregnancy was doing a great job on her. She wasn’t having any complications in her pregnancy except for morning sickness and cravings, and for that, Calvin had everything under control. With the way Calvin was treating her like a queen, she was thinking of rescinding her initial plan. Focus, girl, focus. She always told herself each time such a thought came to mind. She had mapped out everything, and she was going to make sure they fell into place if it was the last thing she did. “ Did Bel tell you she had gotten married?" was the first question Anika asked as soon as Raelyn answered her phone.“ Good morning to you, Anika,” she said, ignoring the question.“ Did she?” "No, Anika, she didn't, and I should be the one asking you that question; she’s your best friend now, and you both should know everything about each other,” Raelyn replied, getting out of bed. Calvin had gone on a business trip as usual, and she was at ho

Months had passed since Kai’s burial, and Elon had taken full responsibility for his father's companies, which wasn’t an easy task at all. Managing those businesses was barely giving him time to himself. Ida had to move back home since he was barely at home and saw no reason why she should stay in the empty house alone. Xara came home occasionally since her kids were busy with school and their lives, and she didn’t want to be a bother to any of them, so she decided to travel the world to see what that holds for her. She was trying to get over the fact that the love of her life was gone for good. “ Hey mama!" Giada’s new stylist hyped her up as she came backstage from the runway. Shane was an amazing stylist; he knew just the right outfit for each shoot or runway session and was a great person. His nickname for her sounded hot when he said it, but when other people did, it sounded normal. Being on the runway was her way of keeping herself sane after the loss of her dad. Everyone thou

"Oh, I miss this." Elon found himself saying after they had finished their lunch. He hadn't gone out in a long time just to have fun and unwind from work. He had also realized that, despite what had happened between them, he still had feelings for Ida."Yes, I do, but priorities have shifted, and you're now the busiest man I've ever met," she chuckled dryly. He knew she was right. Everything was on his neck while his siblings went about their lives. Not that he was complaining, but he was allowed to live his life while running the Maximilian empire. His father had done it, and he could as well.“ I know, but can we take it slow? Put the past behind us and start all over," he asked, taking her hands in his. Ida was dumbfounded at that moment. Was she hearing right, or was she dreaming at the moment? “ Ida?” He drew her attention to what he was trying to say.“ I’d love that too,” she responded.“ About the business proposal you sent, which I am about to accept, it says I would be worki
