Elias POV 

Days passed and I did not see Vincent again. Serena finally came back from her trip and I went over to her house. Immediately she saw me, she jumped on me and hugged the hell out of me.

"Serena, I can't breathe" I said

"I missed you so much my little doll" she said as she squeezed my cheeks. She always called me a little doll because she said the first time we met, I was dressed like a little doll and I looked really cute.

She then dragged me into her room. When we got to her room, I sat on her bed and she went into her closet. She came back with a bag and handed it to me.

"Here, I got this for you, when I saw it, it reminded me of you" she said and I collected it. 

"Thanks" I said and opened the bag, I saw a teadybear hoodie inside. I brought it out from the bag and put it on. It fit perfectly.

"Aww, you look so cute, I knew it will be perfect for you" she said.

"I like it, thanks Serena" I said.

"I am glad you do, now tell me about your hunk of your husband" she said happily.

"We are not yet married " I told her 

"Oh my God, you are blushing, well you will soon be married" she teased me 

"Well, it is actually a arranged marriage, our fathers wants to merge their companies together " I said.

"Wow, are you sure you are okay with that?" She said worried 

"I am, I want to do something for my father" I said looking down.

"But?" She asked me.

"I have always had a crush on Vincent since high school, from the very first time I laid my eyes on him, I fell in love with him, but for some reason, he hated my guts, he still do and I don't know why he does, I have never done anything to him nor did I speak to him during high school". I told her. 

I wanted Serena to know how my crush on Vincent, maybe she will have a way for me to endure this marriage.

"Oh, I did not know you were hurting this much. You have had a secret crush on him for years, how did you endure all his scandals with different women over the past years?" She asked.

Vincent was a playboy, he had ladies licking the ground he walked on. Over the past years, I have always tried to hide my jealously whenever a news headline pops up about him and a mysterious woman.

"What can I do? He was never mine to begin with, what right do I have to get jealous?" I told her.

We stopped talking about Vincent and started talking about our gallery, we have been closed for two months because of her trip to Hawaii, but now that she was back, it was time to open again.

We discussed about what we wanted for the gallery, about when to open, about the painting I am suppose to paint and how many. We started getting hungry so we ordered some take out.

When our food came, we ate and continued our discussions. It was already getting late so I decided to call it a night. I bid Serena goodnight.

"Look, everything will be fine, if you ever need me for anything, I am always here, I am on your side". She said as she hugged me.

"Thank you Serena, I don't know what I would have done without you". I told her. Then I entered my car and went home.

When I got home, I went straight to my room, I entered the bathroom to have a shower, when I was done, I came out and dressed up for bed. I climbed on my bed and took my phone from my night stand.

I decided to scroll through the internet then my eyes caught something. 

"Another woman seen with Vincent Blackwood, the billionaire was seen with another woman walking into the hotel" The headline said.

"Is he not getting married in the next few weeks to Elias Hale?" Another headline said.

"Will their wedding go through or will it come crashing down before they get married?" Another headline said.

I felt sad, jealous, mad. There were just few weeks to our wedding and now he is still sleeping around. I felt sick to my stomach.

I wanted to cry, shout at him, tell him that I had feelings too, but it was of no use. I just dropped my phone on my bed because if I continued reading the article, I will break down entirely.

I buried my head in my pillow and screamed, I cried and cried till I had no tears left. I was heartbroken, I had a tiny hope that maybe one day he would see me for me, but all those hope were already shattered. 

Serena call came in but I did not have the strength to talk to anyone, I knew she wanted to talk about it but I did not, so I declined her calls. I wanted to be alone for now. After a few hours, I fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up will headache and a swollen eyes, I cried my eyes to sleep last night, my throat were sore. I got up from bed and went straight to the bathroom. I had my shower and went inside my closet to dress up.

When I finished, I decided to paint a little because I did not want to see anyone with my swollen eyes. I painted for a little while because I am Serena were going to open the gallery soon. 

As I was painting, my sister knocked on my door and entered 

"Hy, you might want to come downstairs" she said 

"Why?" I asked her

"You will know when you get downstairs " she said 

"I don't feel like going downstairs yet" I whined. She just walked up to me and dragged me downstairs. When we got downstairs, I saw someone I did not think I will see today.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

    Elias POV The ride back home from the museum was awkward. The silence was so loud. I should have not said what I said in the museum. Since I said that, he has been weird. I should have not said that. When we got to my house, I got down from his car and looked at him.“I had fun today, thank you for doing it” I said, he just nodded and drove off. I stood there watching his car disappear in the dark. I thought we were getting somewhere in our relationship but I guess not. I did not want to show my sadness to my family so I masked it up with a smile as I entered the house. As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother sitting on the couch reading a magazine.“Hy mom” I said. She looked up from the magazine she was reading.“Oh, I did not hear you come in, how was your date with Vincent?” she asked.“It was fine mom, I enjoyed my day” I told her.

My mind was racing and my heart was beating really fast. For a second there I was scared, scared that he was the one laying on the floor, I dropped down on my knees to calm my racing heart when I heard my name."Vincent, what is wrong? Are you okay?" I looked up and saw Elias in front of me. I lunched into him and pulled him for a hug."I thought I lost you" I said finally breathing well. He just stayed there, frozen. After I had calmed down, Elias walked me to the car."I am sorry I ran off like that, that was a stupid thing to do" Elias apologized. I looked up at him and saw his face, he was really sorry. I was not angry with him, I was just terrified something bad happened to him."You don't need to apologize, it was basically my fault too, I should not have said what I said before, I am sorry" I apologized. He looked
