Elli moved quietly around SJ’s house a few hours after she had arrived from Kincaid Tower, bringing along her things. She sat on the chair at the terrace and stared blankly at the garden for a long while. She then covered her face with her hands as tears finally spilled down as she recalled the conversation she has with Florence.“Elli, I don’t know how to tell this to you,” Florence started patiently. She looked at Elli with a sad look. “But, with the ongoing news right now, the board has decided to take you off the team for a while until everything is over. I was not in agreement with it, but it was a majority vote.”“I understand,” Elli responded quietly. She clenched her fists under the table as she looked at Florence as well as her staff. “I would have done the same thing if I’m on their shoes. Maybe it’s for the best.”“But, you started this, Ms. Elli,” Natalie insisted sof

January 16, 2017I just got home from the Kincaid country house after talking with Jackson Kincaid. It looks like that Alessandra will be getting her way after all. For years that I had been trying to ignore the promise that I made to her, I finally had to give in.I’ve got cancer again. What a way for the first month of the year. This time, Dr. Marsden said that surgery is out of the option as well as chemo. The cancer had spread all over my body and he’s only giving me six to ten months. Six f8cking months to put Elli’s well-being in order. I don’t know how to go about this. I can’t tell Elli about the cancer yet.I finally talked with Jackson Kincaid on his long-time suspicions. I was right. He knew who Alessandra the moment he met her years ago. I told him the request she made to me, and I waited quietly for his reaction. He asked me some questions and even checked if there was a note or letter from her. I told him there was. Af

Elli breathed in and out slowly to stop the tears, welling behind her eyes to fall on her cheeks. She clenched her fists gently to calm herself. She closed her eyes for a while, calming herself before starting anything.“Are you okay?” Elliot Grande asked calmly. “Do I need to call your husband?”“I’m fine,” she answered. She stood up and went to retrieved something from the drawing shelf at one side of the room. She clutched at it tightly before sitting down. “I have to do this. I will deal with my husband’s anger later.”“Elli, I just want to be your father,” he begged calmly.“I know,” she answered. She gave him a small smile. “But I don’t want to think that every time you will be seeing me, you will think that mom abandoned you. I don’t want you to think that mom fell in love with someone else that made it a reason for her not coming back. Because she

SJ looked up from the paper that he is reading the following day when he heard a car driving up outside. He looked at his watch and saw that it’s only nine in the morning.He looked upstairs to see if Elli has finally decided to come out from their room, but he noted that she still didn’t. After she run upstairs, SJ berated himself angrily over what had happened. However, instead of going after her, he called up Brian and met him over some drinks. He vented out all his frustrations to his best friend and by the time he went back home, Elli already was deeply asleep.He then regretted over what he did, and his friend scolded him over that. Brian lectured him the entire time that were together.“You should have gone up after her and settled that fight!” Brian scoffed at him angrily. “She’s your wife, Kincaid! She’s not like those bimbo’s you’ve been dating. Get that through your head!”He woke up e

Year 2022SJ thanked the guard as he opened the swing door to Kincaid Tower the following Tuesday morning. He nodded as the employees greeted him politely. He walked towards his elevator and pressed the button calmly and waited patiently.“Kincaid!”He turned and saw Brian walking towards him, bringing his wife’s belongings. Florence is following behind him slowly, who is five months pregnant.“I told you that you can take that indefinite leave I offered,” SJ commented to her when she was finally beside them. “I don’t want your husband here to storm my office and harass me if anything happens to you while you’re here.”“I’ll be bored to death,” Florence answered, rolling her eyes. “Besides, Paige said that the baby is doing fine. Are you coming for the gender reveal party?”“I’m not sure yet,” SJ said calmly. “It’s the semi-final
