“Aaron!”

The book I was holding dropped to the floor as I rushed to him. My heart was pounding loudly against my chest.

He was motionless on the marble floor. And his face looked pale, paler than earlier. My stomach dropped.

I dropped to my knees beside him.

I tapped his shoulder gently “Aaron?” I said, louder this time “Aaron, wake up”

There was no response, he didn't move.

I pressed two fingers to his neck and sighed in relief. There was a pulse, weak but steady. He was alive, thank God! He was just unconscious. Had the “cold” been that serious? Why didn't he get medical attention?

As I dialed 911 on my phone, my hands trembled uncontrollably.

“Hello…” I was panting by now.

“I need an ambulance right away. Someone just... I mean my husband. He just collapsed. He's not moving but he's still breathing”

I quickly gave our address, my fingers still shaky.

“Heather! Anna!” I called out to the staff.

Where was everyone?!

They were probably in their quarters which were at the back of the

    Vivienne strutted in with a heavy box in her hand and a bouquet. She struggled with it before she placed it on the center table.“I'm not here for you,” she said snarkily.“Obviously,” I said walking towards her. “Neither is there anyone in this house that you can possibly be here for. So I suggest you get out now”She rolled her eyes putting her hand on her hip. “Girl relax, I'm not here for you, I'm here for Aaron. I brought gifts for his birthday so you'd better calm your aggressive nerves”I looked at the box she had placed on the glass table, it had a transparent lid and I could see a cake with the inscription “happy birthday baby” written on top. Then there was a warped box with a ribbon and then the bouquet.I looked back at her. “Take your shit and get out”“You have no right to tell me to get out. Last time I checked, this isn’t your house”“This is my husband’s house!”“Get the fuck out of my face. I have no business with you” she looked behind me and smiled, I turned around

    ELIZABETH’S POVThe silence that ensued after our last argument lasted for weeks.For weeks we completely avoided each other’s paths. Aaron and I moved around the mansion like strangers. Polite, distant, and careful.For the first week, whenever we crossed paths we’d brush past each other without as much as sparing a glance at each other.But from the second week, there were slight nods of acknowledgment and mumbled hellos when we met sometimes.I was angry. Hurt. Disappointed in him even.Disappointed that in the first hurdle we are experiencing as a married couple, the first thing he could think of was a divorce.So what if our families were messed up, what did that have to do with both of us?Anyway, that was by the way. I had thought about that question repeatedly and didn’t want to do more thinking.I barely left the house these days because there was pretty much nothing to do.My phone rang and I smiled at the caller ID.Noah.It was as if he knew I was going through a difficult

    ALEXIS POVThe fourteen-day ultimatum I gave Charles came and gone without his message.He made it a duty to ignore my calls and messages and simply refuse any attempt I made to see him.This man was joking with me. He didn't know what he was messing with.I had nothing to lose, I had already lost my home, and my child, and I had been living in hiding because Bruce was out there looking for me and asking almost everyone I knew about my whereabouts. And I didn’t want to see him, at least not yet.As I paced around the room angrily, thinking of Charles and his unwarranted attitude towards me, my goal changed.If he doesn’t want me anymore, I would ruin him.I meant it when I said I’d destroy everything he owns and everything he holds dear, I wasn’t joking.Even if it was the last thing I did, I was prepared to take him down.I wanted to send a message to him, a deadly message but first things first, I needed to confirm something. So I picked up my phone and dialled a number.“Vivienne”

    “I didn't peg you for a childish ball-less coward Charles. I guess you're not high and mighty after all” I said with a dry laugh after Joyce left.“You might want to keep your voice down, Alexis”“I don't care if you're in love with a hundred women in Manhattan. You're mine. And that's final. Whether you're crazily in love with your wife or you give her a thousand kisses in front of me, I really couldn’t care less. You owe me a debt Charles and I’ve come to collect it” I said as I walked further into the study, “And don’t you dare tell me to keep my voice down. You don’t get to tell me what and what not to do anymore. If I want to shout and let the world know you belong to me, then I would. There would be no stopping me. So try as much as possible not to piss me off. And that includes the stupid childish stunt you just pulled right now. For your own good, that must never happen again” I warned.He let out a tired sigh as he swiped his palm across his face. “What do you want Alexis?

    ELIZABETH’S POV“I just don't think we should be together anymore” were Aaron’s words in response to my outburst.He just stood there, staring at me casually, like he hadn't just dropped a bomb on me.“W-what?” My voice came out lower than I had hoped it would.“This whole thing is messy. It's not something we can just come back from. Our families would never be united again”I blinked. “Are you crazy? Did you smoke something strong?”“What do you think is going to happen now Elizabeth?” he looked at me. “Do you really think your father is going to let all of this go?”He waited for me to answer. I didn't. Because I knew the answer to that. “Do you really think one big apology is going to solve all of this and Bruce forgives your mother and my mother forgives my father and then everyone is back to being a happy family and our marriage continues so peacefully? You think so?” he asked.I swallowed. No, I didn't think so. I didn't think it'd be easy. This was war. My mother wasn't backi

    “Go on, deny it. I dare you” she said, looking at me, angrily.I took a deep breath. “I don't know what you heard, but it's not what you think, trust me”“Trust you?” she scoffed. More tears flowed from her eyes, and she didn't bother wiping them off. “I should trust you? You want to tell me you didn't meet up with Vivienne?”“I didn't exactly meet up with her. She came to the office yesterday, unannounced. And she was there today as well, but I sent her away”“You sent her away today or yesterday?”“I sent her away today”“And yesterday?”I shifted slightly, not because I felt cornered but because I didn’t know how to explain this without her misunderstanding.I took in a deep breath before I started. “She came to the office yesterday, unannounced as I mentioned earlier, but I was about to step out of the office and she didn’t come with her car, so I had to drop her off on my way there. That was all”She stared at me blankly for a few seconds. And in my heart of hearts, I prayed she
