Dressed in one of the dozens of office wears Alexander had gotten her, Elaine held onto a pretty bag also gotten from Alexander and patiently waited by his car for him to show up. She had purposely skipped breakfast after barely having an appetite and was ready to just get to work. It was a long exhausting night and she couldn’t be more glad morning had dawned already. After concluding Frank’s unexpected shower of gifts, they had dinner and then had his chauffeur drive them back home, another driver taking her new car home. They returned to the mansion late at night and already full from the dinner and the restaurant, quickly bid Frank good night and retired for the day. “What are you doing here?” She was quickly pulled out of her trance by a familiar cold voice. Immediately clutching on to her bag, she turned to face Alexander standing few inches away from her, eyebrows arched with his driver right by his side. “Mr. Xavier,” she swallowed, immediately taking a step backwards.

It was finally the weekend and after spending the last days of the week away from work thanks to her inability to drive and get herself a driver, Elaine had decided to completely rely on Dominique to continue teaching her how to drive. Just as concluded on the previous day, they were to resume driving immediately after breakfast and Elaine was more than prepared to get back to work. It was a weekend and since she was already used to waking up early, she woke up as early as she could and quickly got herself freshened up. Changing into one of the comfy clothes Alexander had gotten her from the huge shopping spree he took her on, she tied her hair up into a ponytail and headed downstairs for breakfast. She had skipped breakfast for two good days and it seemed like Frank was barely at the table too as he didn’t call her or speak to her about it. Hoping things were going to be the same way, she walked towards the dining to see her little prayer get accepted. Though Frank was absent, t

Elaine stared at her reflection in the mirror for a while, checking out her entire outfit over and over to make sure she was looking decent enough. She was dressed in a black gown reaching her lower thigh. Figuring out it was a work dinner, she had resorted to the internet for ideas on what to wear and thankfully, was able to spot a similar looking outfit among the dresses Alexander had gotten her. Paired with matching black flats, she had her hair tied up in a ponytail to show off her flawless shoulders in the off shoulder gown. Having absolutely no idea on how to get herself made up, she went with nothing but light lipgloss and was all ready for the dinner. Clicking her tongue, Elaine glanced at the wall clock in her room. Alexander had told her they were going to be leaving at 7pm and It was finally almost 7pm already. With an exhale, she contemplated stepping out of her room to meet up with him in the corridor or living room or just remain in her room until he showed up himse

EIGHTEEN:It was to be a regular morning with Frank and Mya breaking their fast sitting miles apart from each other but it was not. Rather than her mentally marvelling on the tenderness of the beef on her plate, something else was on Mya’s mind.And it had been on her mind for weeks now, ever since she heard the news of her husband taking a new wife while she was on her trip.After taking longer than usual, she finally swallowed the freshly chewed beef in her mouth and immediately turned to face Frank. She had returned home after months of being away the previous night and all her husband had to say to her was, “Oh, you’re back.”It was no surprise to her though. Her reply to him was also mumbled. But now that they were at the table after spending their nights in different rooms, she had a bit more to say to him.“So, I heard you would be getting married soon.”“Don’t give me that, Mya,” he replied. “You heard about it because I wanted the message to be passed across to you. don’t mak

After a long exhausting weekend that felt like it was going to last forever, it was finally Monday.Both Elaine and Alexander's day started on a awkward note as they were forced to sit at the table for breakfast. A very awkward breakfast with everyone including Mya barely having an appetite.After taking a number of forced bites, Alexander could no longer stand it and got on his feet, having Elaine scurry behind him to get to ride with it to work. Not of course without glances of disapproval from Mya. "Mr Xavier," Elaine spoke up the second they got into his car. "About your jacket from the other day-" "I asked you not to worry," he quickly cut her off to say. "I'll come fetch it when I'm ready." She nodded then pressed her lips together, proceeding to remain silent throughout the rest of the ride. The decision to remain silent was apparently mutual as neither of them uttered a single word to each other throughout the ride until they finally got to the office. Immediately stepping
