CHAPTER 9- OPENING THAT CLOSE HEART.
Coming out of the dressing room, Elena is wearing a red strapless gown that shows the structure of her collar bone, Austin stares at her for a minute before looking away, perhaps for fear of being enchanted by her beauty.
“ What do you think?” She ask opening both her arms wide so he could get a good view and then suddenly someone walks into the boutique.A middle age blonde woman in her fifties with her pretty crooked lips, looking so elegant and beautiful with just one glance, you could tell she is from the higher society.
“ So it true!! I didn’t believe it when I was told you were closing down the boutique today. She must be an angel to have made you come here today” the woman spoke.“ What are you doing here?” He ask as his face twisted and he clenched his fist.
“ It my boutique Austin, I think I have the right to be here”
“ Good day ma!” Elena greeted, almost frigRelated chapters
TENDER NOTHING CHAPTER 10- THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR HIM.
Austin Came back home very late, but was surprise to see Elena and his maids still awake. They were at the kitchen chatting so happily like they have known each other for long and didn’t notice him come in.“ Elena!” He called, as the maids all stood up, they greeted him with courtesy before retreating back to their rooms. Elena got up from the counter she was sitting, she tries to grab the brief case he was holding but he rebuked her immediately.“ Why are you still awake?” He questioned.“ I was waiting for you, I made dinner, I want you to try the 'Elena’s recipe' why don’t you go upstairs and have a bath while I set the table” Elena spoke grinning from ear to ear.“ Elena. Don’t you think it time you move out of these mansion” He spoke gently hoping his words won’t hurt her feelings, but they did shattered her heart.Her face suddenly went blank, S
TENDER NOTHING CHAPTER 11- MY ADDICTION
ELENA’S POV…..I couldn’t tell if that was surprise or anxiety in his eyes, the moment his eyes gazed upon me standing right at the reception, He takes a step back and with a slow deliberation. His eyes fell upon me from head down to my toes, those inspections seems to have lasted for an hour, but it was probably just a second. The air between us became intense and even as I stood there unmoved, I could tell all eyes were fixed on us, I took one step forward about to close the gap between us but then I didn’t know how his reactions would be, he needed to take the first action or word if not I would end up embarrassing myself in front of all his staffs. So I stayed rooted to that spot not saying a word nor moving an inch.“ Elena!!” He finally spoke in a deep voice, that was all I needed to move, I walk up to him and embrace him so tie that he could barely breathe, He was not home just yesterday but it felt like a whole year to me, I linger there in his arms more
TENDER NOTHING CHAPTER 12- MATHEW COLBY
Austin and Elena both arrived at Moscow by 10:30pm, and by 11:pm they were already at the Ritz-Carlton hotel where two rooms just opposite each other were already booked by Freya. The atmosphere between the both of them was tense without a word from both sides, the moment Elena was alone in the room, she fell on the bed and doze off. Austin is done taking a shower when Kenneth walked in.“ Is everything ready Ken?” “ Yes boss!” “ What should I be expecting?” “ A marriage proposal!!”His jaw dropped the moment Kenneth spoke. “ What are you talking about?” “ Base on my Intel, Mr. Petrov sabotaged the CACHE on purpose, he wants to form a marriage alliance with you, and by that, The COLBY TECH and the ROSOVER will be one company” “ Is he having cancer in his brain, why would I agree to such outrageous thought!!” “ Well I do think he has something else up his sleeve, we just have to wait and see

Mathew and Elena were so engross in their chat like nothing else mattered to them.“ It really feels like we have quite a lot in common Elena, why don’t we step outside cause it getting more noisy in here”“ I don’t think that such a good idea. If my friend comes back and am not here, he might get upset cause he had quite a temper”Mathew chuckle as he sips his glass of wine, that was the third glass he was having while Elena held on to just one.“ Is he your boyfriend?”“ Not really. Just a friend who has helped me quiet a lot”“ Okay. But I really think you should relax a bit, this is a party and more than anything, you should have fun, come on let take a look at the view”“ Okay.

TENDER NOTHING CHAPTER 14- A RELIABLE FRIEND
Austin has always been a very calculative guy, always sure of what he was doing, but this time around, his subordinate could tell he was not thinking straight. Austin was going through the whole building searching for Elena with no care of what is damaged during the process until Kenneth finally rushed to him holding a laptop.“ Boss!! Calm down! You need to breathe, is not like she is dead. I was able to talk to petrov's men and they were kind enough to have helped me with the footage at the pool from the time Elena stepped outside, why don’t we take a look”Austin grabs the laptop, he was not thinking of anything else rather than the fact that something might have happened to her, was she scared, lonely, hurt, that was the only thought he had at that point. Watching the footage, Austin could see Elena walking outside with a guy, they were both laughing, he recognize the person she was with, how could he forget the face of those t
TENDER NOTHING CHAPTER 15- PAINS OF TRAUMA
Austin took Elena directly to a hospital. Even as he sat at the waiting room while the doctors and nurses attend to her, his face was blank there was no emotions at all. Austin only had that face when he plotted evil and this time, that was the only thing in his mind.He stayed with her throughout the whole night watching her while she slept peacefully. There is a knock at the door and Kenneth walks in.“ How is Jamir?” Austin ask“ He is a fearful man here in Russia and also a child trafficker. I made a contact to a friend and they are ready to help us deal with him”“ Do we have anything on Petrov or his daughter?”“ Not yet. They seems to be clean”“ Well we both know they are far from clean, the CACHE lunches in a month, I need that chip this week, get Ray to hack into every of their sever and get every dirty secret”“ Am on that!

I need to be at the office”“ But we just came back, don’t you think you should relax even for a bit”“ It really urgent, I have to go”“ Austin!” She called with a remorseful look.“ Are you mad at me?”“ Why would you think that, why would I be mad at you”“ Am sorry the way I reacted back at the hospital I was……..”“ Shiiiii….. Elena you did nothing wrong and I can never be angry at you, I understand you more than you think I do. You went through a lot I can’t even begin to imagine.

Arriving at the living room, Kenneth was already there while the maids were setting out the table for the Chinese dish he bought.“ Kenneth! Hi, you are here, Austin was waiting for you”“ Yeah! I figured he was busy so I didn’t want to interrupt”That made her a little shy thinking if he came upstairs and overhead them before going back.“ How are you doing Elena?”He ask with a Stern look on his face which she felt was wired.“ Am good, thanks for asking”“ Can we speak, in private?” Kenneth ask not averting his gaze from her.“ Sure! We can speak outside”Elena reply with a smile.“ I will prefer the garden, come on let go”Walking out of the main house, Elena followed behind not sure what these was all about.“ How are you doing?” He ask again the moment they were both at the garden behind th
