The Billionaire's only exception chapter 53: the space in-between
Adrain came back home early as promised.Elara heard his key at the door and acted indifferent unlike her. She tried keeping her face calm to avoid him noticing anything.The door finally opened and he took off his coat walking into the living room from the hallway.He came in through the door and something shifted in his expression,he immediately looked at her face trying to study her.” Hey” he said to her.“Hey” came the reply. Something he wasn't expecting. Which indicates something was definitely wrong.He came into the room and loosen his collar and sat at the armchair across from her.He looked at her and something moved through his eyes.Caution.He had known Elara for some time now to notice that something was definitely wrong from the way she's acting,it was just a matter of time before he could find out.She reached out to the pocket of her cloth and brought out the envelope, dripping it at the table in front of them.She watched his eyes drop to the envelope and then back t

The cafe Lydia chose was small and quiet. Lydia was already there when she arrived,seated at a corner with her coat still on and a coffee in front of her.Her face was carefully composed and her eyes lit up immediately she sighted Elera across the room.She stood as Elara walked up to her.“Thank you for coming”. Elara said.“Of course” Lydia said simply like there had never been anything complicated between them.” Sit down,you look terrible”.She sat.A waiter came and she ordered tea that she didn't want,but just because she needed her hands to be busy. Lydia watched her from across the table with certain quietness.” Tell me” she finally said after about a few seconds of letting her settle in.Elara looked at her and thought again if it was right to tell Lydia what's bothering her.But the question was in her bag and the question was still loud,and she was alone with all of it sitting with Lydia who was ready to listen to her rant.She brought out the envelope from her bag and set
The Billionaire's only exception chapter 51: The letter
The morning started, Jeremy was moving with the slow energy of someone who was really tired from sleeping so soundly last night in a bed other than the hospital bed.He made a terrible coffee just like what Adrain did the other time,but Elera drank it and said it was good.Adrain had left for work that morning after kissing her goodbye, something he does lately these days.Elara stood at the kitchen counter holding the coffee cup feeling the warmth of that morning.Everything was finally setting in a good way, Jeremy was back healthy,Lydia had apologized feeling remorseful of what she had done,the baby is coming finally, Adrain had finally owned up to his feelings.Life wouldn't be any better for her.That was she thought,not until the envelope arrived by eleven.No stamp,no return address,just her name written on the envelope,slid through the door like other mails do.When she received it,she stood at the doorway for about a few seconds before opening it.Jeremy was in the shower,she
The Billionaire's only exception chapter 50: Jeremy finally home
Elara was at the airport two hours early to welcome Jeremy . She stood at the entrance arrival gate with her coat still on and her hands not entirely steady with her eyes fixed on the door.Adrain stood beside her,he had insisted on going with her.He stood beside her calm and steady and every minute his hands would reach out her unsteady hands,just a little way of saying calm down.The door finally opened and there he was.Jeremy walked in looking thinner than she can remember with tired eyes but looked fine with his eyes scanning the crowd and his bag over his shoulder.He found her not too long,his face lit up. She was already running towards him.His arms flared open and she landed on his body hitting him harder than she had intended to. His arms came around her and she pressed her face into his chest.“Hey”he said into her hair,his voice was rough.”hey I'm here okay”.“ I know” her voice was trembling.He held her for a long time before pulling away, putting his hands on her shou
The Billionaire's only exception chapter 49: Noah reappearing
Elara was sitting at the kitchen table with her laptop applying for a job when her phone lit up beside her with a message from Noah.Hey baby girl,still up for coffee? I found a place close by and you're going to love it, Thursday by eleven if you are free.She smiled at the screen and kept her phone back and went back to what she was doing.She didn't think much of it because it was just a coffee with an old friend, simple and straightforward.She planned on telling Adrain at dinner.That evening while they were having dinner she told him.” Noah texted”.He looked across from her at the table.”Okay”.And his eyes went back to his food,he continued eating.“Adrain”“What”“You're doing that again ‘“Doing what I'm just eating my dinner,well he's your friend right,just friends so Thursday is fine you can go “.She held his gaze for a second longer,and he looked back at her steadily.She finally let go.********Thursday morning came grey and cool, Elara dressed simple. Dark jeans and a
The Billionaire's only exception chapter 48:The weight of knowing
Denver hadn't eaten in the past two days now.He actually didn't notice it until he stood at the kitchen counter and realized the only thing he had eaten the last two days was black coffee and bourbon with his guilty conscience eating him up.He sat down on the floor.The television was on in the sitting room and he could still hear it.The news that had been on since Monday and had refused to stop ringing in his ear even if he turned off the television.He had tried convincing himself that he's fine and that it was actually a good news that officer James was gone.The investigation about them has lost its sharpest point and Lydia had told him to rest and sleep,but he still couldn't sleep.He was not fine.James was gone.And he knew for sure that Lydia had a hand in this.“Is she going to dispose of me too if I become a threat to her?He asked himself this question with only one answer sitting right in front of him,which he finds difficult to believe.Denver put his face in his hand

They got home by past ten.The house was quiet and calm.Elara slipped off her shoes at the entrance,and carried it inside. Her feet were finally free.Her dress was worth it,but the shoes made it a long evening.Adrain came in after her,and took off his jacket hanging it by the door.Then rolling
The Billionaire's only exception Colliding
The drive home was quiet with Elara resting her head on the car seat,with her head almost on Adrian's shoulder.They were that close to each other in the car.His hands were still over hers just the same way it has been all evening,like he had found something he wasn't ready to let go.She was tire
The Billionaire's only exception what she sees on the screen
The Carmichael dinner was not a private event.It was, in the way that most things involving powerful people and large amounts of money were, quietly public. There were no press cameras at the door. No reporters waiting on the steps.But the Carmichael Group had a social presence that their commu
The Billionaire's only exception Carmichael event
It started with a phone call.Elara was in the hallway putting on her shoes when she heard Adrian's voice from behind his office door.Low and even, the way it always was when he was talking about business. She didn't pay it much attention. His work calls were frequent and she had learned not to
