Elsida wakes up in a gasp with her skin humid from sweat, she heaves a sigh when she realizes it was just another nightmare.“Are you okay Elsida?” Landon rasps as he stands perched next to the room door. Elsida’s head rears back swiftly and her eyes widen when she sees him. She arches an eyebrow, “Landon, when did you get here?”“Not long ago,” his lips twisted into a slight grin before his eyes did a 360 of Elsida.“Are you good? You look tense.”Elsida rolled her eyes, “Ahh the unpopular question,” she rasped as her mind wandered back to the nerve-wracking dream she just had.Landon stalked towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder squeezing it gently,” Take a breather El, I’ll watch him.”Elsida sighed and her gaze flickered to Julien’s face, his pale skin still managed to glimmer slightly and that’s when she felt it. It was gentle at first, like a soft graze. The second time it was a tug and she let out a gasp. Julien’s hand was tugging her finger softly amidst their tangle

“Ugh,” Elsida groaned as she stared at what was supposed to be a painting of Broadway Street. Her thoughts had been so muddled ever since she left the hospital, that visiting her mother’s grave only gave her the reprieve of bawling her eyes out.It seemed like all she ever did was cry lately and she was sick of it. It only made her feel helpless.A knock rasped against her door before her Father pulled it open, he stepped in and shut the door hastily as though he was being pursued. A grim line settled across his lips.“Elsida, care to explain what Armand Benoit is doing in front of our Porch?”Elsida eyed her Father curiously and her brows furrowed,” Dad I have no clue I swear.”William Dalton’s jaw clenched as his hands balled into fists at his side, “Well he’s here to see you, and if I'm to guess it concerns Julien.”Elsida’s head was a whirlwind of thoughts, what could Armand Benoit possibly want from her? She assumed he would be elated with the recent turn of events.“I’ll go see

11 YEARS AGO, LUTON PREP MANHATTAN “What’s the address of this home?” Julien rasped into the speaker.“I’ll text it to you, the visiting hours are from 10-4 pm, have a nice day,” the private investigator rasped into the phone.Julien ended the call and ran a hand through his disheveled curls. It had been three months since the accident, three months since he laid his eyes on Elsida and it was agony. He wasn’t supposed to think of her, she was the reason he lost his brother but how could he not?He stalked back to the Cafeteria and joined his friends at their table.“Yo Julien, what do you think of Letica?” Aaron smirked as he wiggled his brows.“Not interested,” Julien rasped curtly, his gaze planted firmly on his phone screen.Aaron groaned,” Come on man, you’re no fun anymore. I know what you’ve been through..”“Shut the fuck up Aaron,” Julien muttered snapping his head up. He glared daggers at Aaron and the table fell silent as tension engulfed them.Aaron raised his hands in surr

“Listen to me son, not recalling any memories of these German investors doesn’t mean you’re going to throw this deal in the gutter. We need this.” Armand bellowed.Julien didn’t meet his Father’s withering glare, his eyes remained on Elsida’s green ones. She arched an eyebrow at him and his eyes narrowed to slits, “Believe me Father, I have no interest in ruining your precious company.”Armand’s eyes hardened and his gaze flicked to Elsida before returning to Julien, “You and Elsida must continue to put up a United front. The board still believes you are married and one word about your marriage failing, they will do everything they can to kick you off. Do not mess this up, Julien.” Armand muttered before storming out of the office.Julien let out a heavy breath and he ran his hands through his hair, his gaze hardened when Elsida approached the front of his desk. “I don’t need another lecture Elsida,” he drawled.Elsida tsked softly and let out a humorless laugh,” I wouldn’t waste my b

Elsida was done taking shit from Armand. She straightened her back and brushed past him without sparing him a glance. After grabbing Nancy’s Coffee, she headed back to Jasper’s ward where the doctor was crouched checking his vitals.The doctor repeated what Nancy said albeit with more medical jargon whilst Elsida’s mind whirled with tumultuous thoughts, Armand being the center of them all.The anxiety Elsida used to feel whenever she was around Armand dissipated today after their little debacle.She was done letting the Oldman walk over her. She was not afraid to play dirty anymore, Not when her son was concerned.Elsida left the hospital with a new backbone. She’d kill Armand before he lay a hand on Jasper ever again.•••“Sorry Madam but Mr. Julien said he wishes to be alone,” Julien’s home-office secretary rasped her gaze apologetically.Elsida raised an eyebrow and brushed past her.“Madam, please you can’t go in there. He wishes to be alone.” Elsida didn't spare her a glance as
