"You can't be serious, Ayden." Eleana let out in a frustrated voice while standing in front of Ayden, he had her hands on her waist as she shot him a deadly glare. "I'm very serious, princess," Ayden answered back without looking at her as he focused on his laptop. "Why are you doing this?" Eleana asked with a sigh as she sat on the sofa with a thud. She felt tired of fighting with him. She was very tired of continuously bickering with him. "To take care of you." He replied, as a matter of fact, making Eleana roll her eyes. "I don't need you to take care of me." She refused while throwing a pillow at him. This made Ayden finally look in her direction with a sigh."I know. But I need to take care of you. Mom and dad will be upset and very worried if they know you are sick. Do you want me to tell them? You know what will happen next. They will make sure to bring you to the mansion and lock you there for at least a month." Ayden explained calmly, making Eleana shiver. She knew how pr
Ayden held the car's door open for Eleana waiting for her to enter. With a sharp intake of breath, Eleana entered the car."Thanks." She said before getting in the passenger side and then buckling her seatbelt. Ayden gave a small smile before moving towards another side of the car and getting in the driver's seat. He started the car before hitting the street. "Where are we going?" Eleana asked as she looked out the window. The streets were as usual crowded, people moving like a time bomb as they didn't have time to pause and care about others. "It's almost lunchtime. Let's grab some lunch first then we can head somewhere else." Ayden replied after he checked his watch for the time. Eleana nodded without saying anything. She reached for the radio station and turned it on. Never Be Me by Miley Cyrus started playing. Eleana looked through the window while listening to the song. She wondered how long it had been since she last went out like this with Ayden. Probably more than two years.
After Ayden and Eleana returned from the cherry blossom park, it was already dinner time. Ayden told her to rest as he would make dinner for them. Eleana was in a good mood and decided not to fight against him. She went to the washroom and got freshened up. As she was putting on some moisture, her phone started to ring. Eleana grabbed the phone before checking the caller ID. She was surprised to find it was Levi, her cousin from her mother's side. She considered him as her own brother and when she decided to move to Paris a year ago, he was the person she first called. He's also the person who took care of her when she was at her most vulnerable period. Levi was a model by profession, he moved to Paris a few years ago to pursue his career there. He was the one who introduced Lucien to her as he was his very good friend. With a smile, Eleana picked up the call. "Hey bro," She greeted him warmly. "Hey, baby sis. I'm coming back." He greeted back while giving her the news of him coming
Ayden stayed with Eleana in her apartment for two days. As promised he really stayed there to take care of her, he cooked her food, cleaned the house, and did the dishes except for the laundry as Eleana stopped him from doing it. He attended his office from her home and thankfully didn't cross any line. But staying five long days with him had a different effect on Eleana. She felt her walls crumbling down after each moment she spent with Ayden. She didn't know how long she could hold on before she again collapsed. She felt empty after he left and started to miss his presence around her. Eleana went back to the office on the same day Ayden left her apartment. He was the one who drove her to the office. Eleana was surprised when she saw a familiar figure enter Ayden's office. How could she not recognise her? The famous Isabelle Atkins, one of Ayden's close friends. Eleana didn't have any good relationship with her because she always considered Isabelle as a love rival. She knew Isabell
It was Philip Campbell's birthday. Eleana decided to visit the Campbell mansion early to spend the weekend with Philip and Kathleen. As Eleana rang the doorbell, she waited for someone to open the door. Frederick opened the door and his eyes lit up seeing Eleana standing in front of him. "Young miss, how are you?" Frederick asked in a warm voice as he took her bag from her hand. Eleana smiled at him before giving him a small warm hug."I'm good. How are you, Uncle Freddie? Are you taking your medicine properly?" Eleana inquired as they made their way inside. "I'm also fine. Don't worry, I take them regularly." Frederick answered honestly. "How are Molly and Annie? Annie is starting college this year, right?" Eleana asked, referring to Fredrick's wife and daughter. His daughter was a few years younger than her. She liked the soft and shy girl who came to help his parents frequently."They are both doing fine. And yes she's starting college. I can't believe she's grown up so much al
Eleana changed into the Rose gold designer dress for today's evening. She did her makeup elegantly without any rush. She finished her look with a small diamond pendant and a diamond bracelet. Satisfied with how she looked, Eleana headed downstairs. Their big spacious living room was filled with many people. Eleana smiled while getting down the stairs, her eyes landing on some familiar faces. "Hey," Eleana greeted sweetly as she came face to face with Lucien who was standing in a corner while drinking some orange juice. Lucien smiled back before pulling her into a warm hug "Hey, you look beautiful!" He complimented after breaking the hug. Eleana laughed as she kissed his cheek."You always say that." She replied while smiling."That's because you always look beautiful." Lucien shrugged, making Eleana shake her head. "Make yourself comfortable. I need to check on a few guests. I will be back soon." Eleana said apologetically before excusing herself. Lucien nodded in understanding."E
After the dinner was over peacefully, everyone again gathered in the living room for chit-chat. Eleana stood by Philip's side as he wrapped his arms around her beloved daughter while talking to Helen Morin, his deceased sister's sister-in-law. Beside her was her husband Gabriel Morin. Slowly, Lincoln and Maria also joined them with a smile. From the corner of her eyes, Eleana noticed Natasha pulling Ayden with her towards where they were standing. Eleana's happy mood started to drop as her least favourite people started to gather in front of her. She looked around for a possible escape but there was none. Lucien already left as he had some emergency while Savannah was nowhere in sight. Eleana mentally let out a groan. "I sometimes feel you love Eleana more than Ayden." Helen chuckled as she looked at how Philip treated Eleana. Philip also laughed as he pulled Eleana closer before kissing her head. "Awww!" Kathleen was awed as she stared at the exchange between her husband and her
Eleana and Athena made their way through the crowds, making their way directly towards the bar. The bar wasn't overly crowded. It was a VIP bar which was why the entrance pass was limited. "Where is she?" Athena asked as she looked around for Savannah, Eleana was also looking for the blonde-haired woman who by now was wasted. "She should be somewhere near. Let's check the bartender." Eleana said while pulling Athena with her. The bar was decorated nicely with a vintage outlook. It was mainly used for drinking. There was light music going on in the background while people sat quietly, drinking their liquor. Fortunately, they spotted Savannah in a corner. She looked drunk enough yet she was pouring more drinks into her glass."There she is. She's completely wasted." Eleana said with a sigh before making her way towards Savannah's table. Athena followed her. "Savvy!" Eleana called out, making Savannah turn around and look at her."Elea! You found me" Savannah called her with a grin. E
