Elena's POV.

My hands roamed over my son's face. The surgery was done but I was required to stay outside for a bit so that they could assess him properly.

This was all possible because of a man who didn't want to hold grudges with me but there I was still pretending as though we were back 5 years ago. What he had done was so unforgivable and that made it hard for me to see him in a teeny weeny positive light.

I had gone down a rabbit hole looking for interviews about him or anything that

  • Too Late For Us, Mr Ashford    Chapter 52

    Marcus. I overheard the last conversation between Elena and Diego and I felt sorry for the boy. He didn't deserve to live life without having a father and now that he kept asking I could only imagine the amount of pressure Elena was under. If that boy was anything like me, I knew that he wasn't going to let it go no matter how much she tried to convince him otherwise. I shuddered at the thought of that boy being like me. It was crazy. "God help me." She whispered just as she came out and bumped into me. My hands snaked out and held her closer. "Were you listening on us?" It was the polite thing she could say but there was nothing else I could report that would solve the fact that I had truly been invested in that line of conversation and wanted to know how it ended. "I was just on my way to inform you of a new development and I happened to over here the entire discussion. Would you have wanted me to interrupt?" An emotion flared in Elena's eyes which I couldn't pinpoint but I s

    Elena. There was nothing anyone could say that would stop me from thinking that my son needed to be moved out of here but first I had to Honor my part of the agreement. I had promised that I was going to make everything good, and if I was going by that, I didn't think that we should have any problem. "So... You want me to automatically make him your father when we are not yet sure where we stand?" I asked with a smile on my face even though I felt quite the opposite. It was an insult to me that he was not satisfied with everything that I had provided so far and if that was what he wanted then he was going to get it but I was not sure that he would like the outcome. "Mommy don't feel bad."I wanted to let out my genuine intention but realized that it would only have a negative effect on a boy that I was trying to help become a better person. "It's fine if you want him as your father but I'm only telling you this because I don't want you to get hurt nobody can act as your father i

    Elena. I had my reservations when we came to a lot of things but there was only one that refused to let me be and it was the fact that there was in may be too many things for me to handle. My moments required also going through a lot of documents and trying to figure out what next I can do to stop my mind from running haywire. Diego was getting out of his uniform and preparing to take a nap or so I thought, but most importantly I wanted to ask him certain questions. "Mommy." I took a deep breath and turned instantly. For some reason, I would have preferred doing something else entirely done being interrogated by my son. "Yes darling?" I inquired with a smile on my face. Diego was too little to be caught within crossfires when I had a theory that was not clear to me so I rather allowed myself to relax and look for other sources that put be okay enough. He regarded me with cool eyes, checking to know if I was mad at the entire scenario or the was another way I could handle

    Marcus. The meeting was exceptionally lengthy today. "Why do you have that expression?" I queried Toby as soon as the meeting ended. I had noticed him trying to catch my attention but failed woefully at it. "Apparently Elena got to school before the driver did. I don't think she appreciates anyone ruling her life with an iron fist." Toby was my right hand man but even at the same time he couldn't understand the complications between me and that woman. To him she was just being problematic when I knew I was the one who had caused her to go down this drain. "And what's that supposed to mean?""I relate your order clearly but it seems that she had a hard time understanding it. I don't know why and what she wants to prove." If he was speaking this way then it meant that he had absolutely no idea what Elena was capable of. She was the most docile woman you could meet until it was time for her to show you that she had some strength. My mother had spoken ill about her and I understoo

    Elena. The next day started with me waking up late, jumping out of the bed rushing towards my son's room only to be greeted with the worst shock of my life. He wasn't indoor. If Diego wasn't around then where was he? Panic of what had happened yesterday surged in my chest, leaving me with only one option. I rushed back into my room, picked up my phone and decided to call Marcus. I was sure that nothing would have happened without his knowledge. How did I even explain the feeling of losing my child? My message went straight to voicemail, heightening my panic. If someone had just picked up my call and explained what had happened I didn't think that I would be this way. The next option was to reach out to someone who I knew didn't like my presence one bit. Anyway that was his business because how exactly did he expect me not to call him? Toby picked up on the second ring. "Good morning Elena." "Good morning Toby. My son isn't in." I went straight to the point. I would thin

  • Too Late For Us, Mr Ashford     Chapter 47

    Elena's POV. I froze instantly at the accusation. It wasn't because I wasn't happy with it, but the facts that I wanted to keep everything under a wrap. Most people were already suspicious of our relationship and if it was leaked to the media that Marcos had made mistakes in the past it could be used against his political ambition. My first contact with the people who had called themselves important, who was the fact that there were too many things lacking behind. In fact all I needed was some peace and quiet and nothing that reminded me of what I had lost. "So you think that she is suddenly going to forget everything that you've done to her and welcome you with open arms? Is that how daft you think she is?" This was overstretching, but I heard the sounds of sirens in the background. Carnegie must have heard it too, because his spine straightened immediately. This was exactly what I had been hoping for. he had lost the opportunity to escape when he had it. "Calling the co
