They worked in silence, Elijah sneaking small glances towards Jennifer who was completely focused. She worked so passionately, and maybe because it was because she felt directly affected, but he found it weirdly attractive.

The way she slightly parted her lips as she went over the names, the way her hands scribbled quickly over the paper, and the subtle curve of her lashes as she lifted up from the notepad to the file she had propped up against the back of his laptop.

They had opted to sit on the floor on each side of the center table. She propped up the files against the back of his laptop, and crossed he legs under her. Elijah did the same, and he found it comfortable.

"Anything?" He asked, trying to bring himself out of his own reverie.

She looked up, her face solemn. "There is a pattern. And from the pattern, I think we can realize the method used to lure them. I don't think it was forceful abduction, from the pattern I am seeing, I am starting to believe they were lured using fak

    The car came to a sudden stop in front of the mansion. Elijah turned to the towering mansion and gave a small sigh. It was filled with peoole, people he wasn't even so sure he cared for half as much as he did the one person in the car with him."Sir?" He looked up, then placed a long finger on his lips and shook his head. He slowly turned to the still sleeping Jennifer, her hair now falling in front of her eyes, her lashes fluttering slowly against the disturbance.His fingers came up to her face to move the hair away, and he tucked it behind her ear, his fingers leaving small traces on her skin.She gave a half conscious smile and leaned further into him, causing him to chuckle a little.Gently, he turned her to lay on the headrest, before he walked out himself and went around to her side of the car.Gently, he pulled her to him, his hand supporting her back, the other behind her knees. She stirred a little as he adjusted her, her head comfortably on his chest.With a small sigh, she

    Elijah stopped eating, then slowly turned to her, his eyes a little wide. He wasn't sure what to make of it. Mostly because he felt it too. The funny feeling he wasn't sure what to make of.She burst into laughter, then shook her head. "I guess I am just so thankful to you. Because of you, it really feels like a lot of things fell into place."He swallowed, his eyes roaming around her face, before he slowly nodded, then leaned back. He found he had no appetite anymore, and he would rather just wait it out."Did I make you uncomfortable?" She asked when she noticed he wasn't eating.He immediately shook his head. "No, it just...I ate enough. Eat more. I am not so sure you had breakfast.""You won't attend the ceremony?"He looked down at his watch. "It should start by 12. We still have a few hours."She suddenly stood up, then went in front of him, and twirled a little. "Do you think this is okay? Do I look okay?"He swallowed. "You look beautiful."There was a sincerity in his voice, a

    Cafe Del Amour was a large cafe that doubled as an art gallery. The scenery was especially beautiful at night, with a simulation of the Aurora Borealis overlooking the top to down French style windows.Jennifer gasped as they walked in to the refreshing scent of chocolate tainted with a hint of roses, and a smile widened her lips again. It warmed Elijah's heart just seeing her so happy with the gesture."Do you like it?"She shook her head. "I love it. It's so beautiful."Elijah smiled, then took out a handkerchief. He had heard her voice crack, and knowing how emotional she was, he knew she would cry. She collected it with another grateful smile, then carefully dabbed under her eyes.Elijah said nothing as he reserved the private table for them, and they both made their way to the secluded part. Instead of a table and chair, it had one large couch that was big enough for two, and a round revolving table in front. "What would you like to have?" Elijah asked softly as he guided her to

    Mariah held her forehead, her other hand going to her waist. She couldn't lose control of her temper right now, or she would arouse too much suspicion and lack of trust."I am sorry, mother." She started to say, but Mrs.Morrison did not look like she was about to be calm. "I just thought it would be better if he went with me because I know my way around. It is fine." She turned and left the dining hall, even before Mrs.Morrison could say a word.Mrs. Morrison sat back down, her eyes filling up. "Did you hear Elijah? I bet he has felt so neglected over the years. This is all my fault, really. I pushed him into this marriage so he would establish himself as a family man. He never looked happy or even in love. I should have known." She took in a deep breath and held her head with both hands. Stephanie put a comforting hand on her shoulder as Jennifer stood up."Let me check on Elijah, mother. I wil be back.""No," Mrs. Morrison said. "Just stay with him, I will be fine."Jennifer gave her

    Jennifer ate calmly, occasionally stealing glances at Elijah. He tried hard to focus on his food, and excused himself once he finished.Jennifer stalled for a minute or two, before excusing herself too and went after him, holding the box close to her chest.Elijah was removing his coat when she came in, and she stood by the door."What is wrong?" Elijah asked, then turned to her."Uh...I wanted to give you your privacy. That's why."He smiled and unbuttoned his cuffs, then pulled the sleeve upwards and walked to her slowly."You can come in. I am just going to freshen up." "Uhm, Elijah? You, uhm..got me this gift..."He nodded. "Yes?""I mean, there is no occasion and it must have been expensive."He looked at her for a minute, wondering if he heard it correctly."I just..." He let his voice trail off as he took in a deep breath. "I just thought of you the moment I saw it. And they said I could customize it and that's why I did that." He threw his hands up in defeat, lacking proper wo

  • The Mayor's Second Wife   The Gift

    Jennifer found herself left alone throughout, with Susan taking a lot of bed rest and Lilian tending to her. For some reason, it felt to Jennifer like Lilian didn't want to talk to her anymore, but she tried to keep the thought aside.She hadn't offended her, that she was sure of, so she just attributed it to her having so much on her hands."What are you thinking of?" Stephanie suddenly said, as she occupied the dining seat next to Jennifer's."Uh..not much." Jennifer said. It was surprising how Stephanie was now a lot calmer while talking to her, and she was kinder."You just don't want to share it?" She asked with a chuckle. "I understand." Stephanie stood, a slightly hurt expression on her face, but Jennifer called her back."I was just thinking of Elijah. He seems occupied."Stephanie giggled and sat next to her again. "Do you really like him? I mean, I thought of you as a gold digger, but...you don't even seem to wear any expensive stuff. You married him because you like him?""N
