" Ida, we know he hurt you, but that wasn't the best way to go about it. You broke him," Khloe scolded her cousin, seated in front of her with Aly by her side. " All men are scum; we get that, Ida, but that was kind of low. I know you're hurt, angry, and want to vent out and take revenge on him, but what you did was just a no-no. I am not saying this because he's my brother; you and I know if it were any other man, I would have said the same." Aly made her point. Ida sat without saying a word, trying to find something to justify her actions, but the truth of the matter was that she had no reason and they were both right. Yes, she wanted to hurt him, but it shouldn't have been with Adrian, whom she knew had feelings for her and was involved in this whole mess. That way, it would have seemed like she chose him over Elon. And the hurt across Adrian's eyes when she made it known to him that she didn't want him but she just needed to prove a point was sad. He didn't deserve that. " I kno

Elon held his phone in his hands, contemplating whether to join Tinder and look for love or not. Was it worth it? He asked himself, swiping on Tinder, until he stopped on one profile. The woman had a beautiful smile, and something had drawn his attention to her, but as to what it was, he had yet to figure it out. He tapped on her profile, instantly matching her with him. Ida's phone vibrated in her pocket as she led a presentation. She was itching to reach into her pocket to get the phone, but she ignored it and continued with her presentation. There was more time to browse on her phone after this deal had pulled through. Elon checked the calendar on his wall; there were five days left until his father's surgery. He was wondering if he should let his mom know that he was also suffering from the same sickness as his father was. Now isn't a good time. He told himself. His mother was already occupied with taking care of her husband, telling her this would do her harm rather than good

Elon and Ida, posing under the disguise of Michelle, had grown quite close to each other, but Elon hadn't requested to see her in person yet for reasons best known to him. Ida had also been quite busy with some projects at work; she barely had time to go out for a drink. She canceled her schedule today because Aly had asked her to come over to the hospital to be there for her since her dad was having his surgery today. The whole family was present to meet him when he came out of the OR. Nurses and doctors were walking up and down and were not giving any answers to Kai's family. Elon had spoken to the doctor three times, but all he said was " Everything was under control," but it didn't seem so. Xara was on the verge of breaking down at any given second with the way things were unfolding. " Time of death: 5:59 PM," the doctor announced to his team, covering Kai's dead body up. He had fought a good fight but was unable to win this battle. The doctor walked out of the OR toward the fam

Maybe he didn’t want me here anymore. Ida lay on the bed, thinking. It had been a month since Kai had died, and Elon wasn’t any better. He acknowledged her presence but hardly spoke a word to her. His dad’s funeral was today, and she had to be strong for them. She could deal with her thoughts later. She had heard Elon when he was preparing to leave for the funeral grounds. He was supposed to be there earlier than everyone. She had heard a slight knock on the door but pretended to be asleep, so he left. She couldn’t face him yet at that moment. After her simple make-up, Ida slipped into her black self-portrait off-shoulder jersey midi dress. She secured the fascinator in her hair and then slipped into her 3-inch Loui Vuitton boots and grabbed her black clutch. She looked in the mirror, taking in a deep breath before leaving her room, leaving behind a whiff of her Chanel perfume.Alyona turned for the umpteenth time, trying to spot Ida in the crowd. She thought she was coming with Elo

Months had passed since Kai’s burial, and Elon had taken full responsibility for his father's companies, which wasn’t an easy task at all. Managing those businesses was barely giving him time to himself. Ida had to move back home since he was barely at home and saw no reason why she should stay in the empty house alone. Xara came home occasionally since her kids were busy with school and their lives, and she didn’t want to be a bother to any of them, so she decided to travel the world to see what that holds for her. She was trying to get over the fact that the love of her life was gone for good. “ Hey mama!" Giada’s new stylist hyped her up as she came backstage from the runway. Shane was an amazing stylist; he knew just the right outfit for each shoot or runway session and was a great person. His nickname for her sounded hot when he said it, but when other people did, it sounded normal. Being on the runway was her way of keeping herself sane after the loss of her dad. Everyone thou
