"All set?" I asked once we got in the car. Mrs Jenna had visited and I was actually happy to see her. She surprised me when she said that she only found out about Niklaus' accident today. Ofcourse I knew Nick liked to keep things to himself, loved to be isolated but for God's sake Mrs Jenna was his mother and she deserved to know about his accident.Regardless for the few weeks I had spent with him, things between us were- I would say good. Underneath that grumpy cold gorgeous exterior, deep down Niklaus was a big softie like a giant teddy bear I wanted to squeeze in my arms forever. I know it was pathetic of me, pathetic to even dream that he would look at me the same way he did Isadora, but a girl could only hope, right?I could only hope that watching movies together while cuddling, taking afternoon strolls in the garden while laughing at anything that came to mind, stargazing while we camped just outside the house...that somehow he had the same warm fuzzy feelings in his heart li

There were certain things in life that were impossible. Like waking up and finding a million dollars in your bed, like waking up and finding yourself almost as fast as The Flash. And the most impossible thing that up to now I found difficult to believe was that Niklaus Rogers liked me well technically it was loved me even though he didn't put it that way.I clung to his shoulder almost trying to make out whether this was a dream. My stomach was full but that didn't stop me from taking his hand when he asked me to dance. Everything. He went through an extra mile to do all this for me. We slow danced to the song 'In The Stars by Benson Borne' and my heart raced with excitement. Niklaus Rogers was my boyfriend now.It didn't seem possible and deep down I wanted to scream from sheer excitement. I wanted to confess that I loved him, I loved how good he smelled, I loved the way he smiled, how grumpy he could get, I loved the fact that he treated me differently, made me feel important? And l

"I don't understand, I thought that he had already had surgery",Klaus asked confused.He ran his fingers through his hair nervously as we all await the doctors to rush out of the operating room and tell us how Benny's dad was doing.Benny's mom stood with Benny in the middle of the hallway crying nervously and leaning against Benny for support.I felt sorry for them. Watching your father almost die infront of you must have been traumatizing. I never got to see my father or my mother but I'm sure Benny felt like shit at the moment.I held onto Niklaus' hands as we both sat across the couches from where Benny and his mother stood."Hey it's not your fault, Nick. You couldn't have known that would happen", I assured him."What if-he. Something bad happens to him. I'll have to deal with that. It's on me, Elle"At this point I couldn't fathom whether he was talking about Benny's dad or his father. He didn't like to talk about his father, William Rogers and I didn't want to pry further.But

I woke up next to an empty bed, it was a bit disappointing not to find Nick's sleepy face next to me. Ofcourse I understood that something must have come up at work for him to leave so early without telling me.Regardless I couldn't help but feel this empty void in my heart when I didn't find him. The thought of calling him crossed my mind until I remembered he wasn't just my boyfriend but the CEO of Rogers Co. And to be honest, the latter mattered most than me."You are awake, sleepy head",Chica said pulling up a plate and laying two pieces of toast on it."I slept in, huh? What time is it?" I asked.I didn't just sleep in, I wanted to sleep all day just to avoid meeting up with Drizella. I wasn't scared of, I was a little nervous. I mean what would we talk about much less in a mall?I was bad at shopping, I had a poor choice on fashion let alone my own clothes so going shopping was the worst idea I could agree to."It's around nine. Sir left around six in the morning",Fey's voice ca

♪♪ Guess you were right to hide the way you feelWe keep pretending like it wasn't real ♪I reached for my phone buzzing against the nightstand throughout the silent room. I felt a migraine coming in, the minute I tried to wiggle my body out of the warm covers. My eyes fluttered open trying to spell out the name on my bright phone screen."Mrs Chang?" I mumbled sleepily.I swiped the screen to the green call button , pressing the phone to my right ear."Eleanor Gibbins?",a rather younger voice of a man asked from the other end of the line and I creased my brows in surprise "Yes. This is she. Why do you have Mrs Chang's phone?" I asked dumbfounded seating up and resting my back on the headboard.Flashes of what happened yesterday hit my head as fast as I could say one. I shouldn't have given in to Drizella's whims and joined her in drinking.God! How my head hurt!"Am her grandson and she has been trying to reach you since yesterday. Am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but somethin
