SERENA'S POV

“So,” he breathed, getting all serious. “Have you decided what to do? About… the current situation”

He blinked. His jaw clenching as disbelief overtook his calm features. “Wh-Eliot wants to- he’s divorcing you and you’re not signing?”

“I’m not signing until I know what I’m going to do with myself” I stated, “No matter what I do, this situation doesn’t look good for me. So, I think it’s high time I do what’s best for me and only me.”

He remained silent for a moment. Taking it in, and then slowly, a little smile appeared at the edge of his lips. “I’m listening”

    ELIOT'S POVThe staff scurried away the more I roared into the air. Eyes fixed on the mezzanine of the third floor. Hoping for a response. A challenge. A smart comment and just anything! Anything that would give me a reason to take this all the way and made sure she felt all this anger she had generated inside of me!But of course, no response.Frustrated and pained to the very core, I stormed off! Breezing past a particularly daring May that just wanted to be unfortunate by touching me after seeing what mood I was already in. “Eli, baby are you- ouch!”I just flown that outstretched arms of hers away from my path. “Fucking bitch!” I cussed under my breath as I stormed away to the only place I could burn away all of this anger. My study.The darkness welcoming me as I banged the door shut. Angrily clearing off a stack of files from my desk! Papers and binders flying everywhere with the sheer force I used.

    ELIOT’S POVI was going to lose it.I just knew it.The moment she walked through that door, I knew it right then. Not in the way I did yesterday. No. I had promised myself that. I had a plan. A simple one: tell her about the gathering. Keep it civil. Get a yes. Move on. But from the second her eyes landed on me… those proud, defiant eyes… I knew.There would be no plan.She looked…different somehow. Charged. Relaxed and even carefree. Like she had no problems at all, and nothing, absolutely nothing in the world could touch her. “Welcome home, Madam!” A maid greeted cheerfully at the front doors the moment she walked in.Causing my legs to spring into action, rushing to see for myself through the mezzanine of the third floor. Even before i could stop myself. But then, I saw her.Long wavy black all curled up in a smoother pattern this time. Dancing around her smooth fair cheeks as she chuckled at something the maid said. And in no time, one maid turned to two. Then three, four, five

A good plague though. It was both comforting and refreshing to be honest. To see myself going on a path forged with my own hands, having someone beside me… Just been there, cheering me on.It felt good. Better.Better than all the days I had spent at home trying to make Eliot and I work.

All this time that I’ve been-“No,” I whispered, pausing the thought right then. “No. That’s impossible. Not possible at all. How can- Serena is not that kind of person.”My eyes went to my laptop screen again. The comments… and I almost cussed at myself right then and there. A scoff leaving my lips, “How am I letting these crazy people mess with me? Putting ideas in my head and just- This is exactly why I don’t like this blog! Why I dislike this blogger.
