    “Relax your mind, Elie,” Lucien said softly to Elowen, who was seated in the passenger seat. His right hand left the steering wheel and held her left hand that was resting on her lap. “I have told you there is nothing to be nervous about. It’s just a family and friends party,” he added, giving her hand a gentle squeeze.They were on their way to Lucien’s mother’s birthday party, and Elowen was feeling nervous. Lucien had told her not to be nervous, but she still was.Elowen turned her head to look at him and nodded with a forced smile. She knew she should relax just like he had said, but she couldn’t help it. She was about to meet his mother. And considering how intimidating Mitchell had been before, her heart refused to calm down.“Are you sure she will like the gift?” Elowen asked quietly. Her eyes moved to the back seat where her drawing, now carefully wrapped in cellophane, was placed.“Yes, she will,” Lucien assured softly but firmly.He wasn’t saying it just to make her feel bet

    In the living room of the Jones family mansion.“I don’t know what Adrian is waiting for to sign the marriage certificate with you and give you a wedding,” Mrs. Jones said with a sigh, looking tired of Adrian being slow to tie the knot with Scarlett.“Why can’t he be as fast as I was?” Mr. Jones said, exhaling deeply.“Mum, Dad, Adrian isn’t slow,” Scarlett said softly, a smile plastered on her face. “He is busy with the company right now” She added calmly, but even as she said it, she wasn’t happy about how things were going.Scarlett had thought that by now, she and Adrian would already be married. She had already planned how she would mock Elowen on their wedding day. But it had been months since she and Adrian got together, yet not once had he mentioned having their wedding. “Don’t defend him, Scarlett,” Mr. Jones said quietly. “If he comes back, I’m going to talk to him.” He added calmly. Scarlett smiled and said nothing because that was exactly what she wanted.“Well, with or

    At Palm Crest Garden."Wow, it's so beautiful," Cecelia said in awe as she stared at the hand-painted landscape Elowen had just finished drawing."Is it?" Elowen asked quietly, doubting her work as she looked at the drawing. She felt it was a little messy, but it was the best she could do."Yes, it is," Cecelia responded quickly, her eyes still shining in admiration at the masterpiece before her. "You are so talented," she whispered, shaking her head in amazement.Elowen smiled and shifted her wheelchair back slightly to get a better view of her work."Do you think she will like it?" Elowen asked softly, feeling slightly nervous about meeting Lucien's mother tomorrow.Tomorrow was Lucien's mother's birthday, and since Lucien had invited her to the party, Elowen had thought about what to gift her. She couldn’t think of anything. Her intuition told her that Lucien's mother wouldn’t be a simple woman, and she felt she couldn’t afford something that would suit her taste. Rather than gifti

    Evans had just stepped into his villa to see who he never wanted to set his eyes on, sitting on the couch."How dare you step foot into my house?" he barked loudly, anger boiling inside him immediately. "Who let you in?" he asked furiously.His angry voice made Rachel tremble, and she stood up from the couch at once."To think that you dare sit on my couch," Evans continued angrily. He looked to the side and saw his househelper running out of the kitchen with a tray of snacks in her hand — the snacks she was bringing for Rachel."You let her into my house?" Evans shouted at the househelper.He was already on edge. He didn’t expect that Rachel would dare to come to his house, sit on his couch, and the househelper would even want to serve her snacks like nothing had happened. Like he didn’t end their relationship. How could she be so shameless to show her face here?"But sir, isn’t she your fia—" the househelper started in confusion, wanting to explain that Rachel was his fiancée and th

    The day came to an end as Grandfather finished the meeting and retired to his room. Everyone was now free to leave.Elowen slowly moved her wheelchair toward the exit of the mansion. She had just reached the entrance door when she was suddenly pulled back forcefully from behind. Her heart skipped in fear as the wheelchair almost lost balance.“Where do you think you are going?” Scarlett yelled angrily. “Do you think you can just leave here?”Her hand gripped Elowen’s shoulder tightly, her fingernails digging into her skin.Elowen’s face twisted in pain under Scarlett’s hold.“Let go of me,” Elowen said sharply, forcefully pushing Scarlett’s hand off her shoulder and flinging it away.“You—” Scarlett muttered as her hand was thrown aside.
