ELINNAThe party hadn't even started yet and I was already in love with their finger food. They gave us a plate of different things ranging from little slices of meat to samosas and spring rolls. They were all so delicious. I just stood at the side, while Lizzy shook and greeted everyone that came our way. I'd eaten my plate and now, I was eating her plate too because she said she didn't want to. Which was fine with me being I wanted it. I didn't know most of the people she was even saying hi to so how was I supposed to be useful in this situation?She turned around to look at me with a face of disappointment. “Which other CEO do you see stuffing their faces the way you're doing?” She was right. It wasn't only CEOs. No one was even paying attention to the wonderful plate that had been dropped before them.I didn't want to socialise. I finished with her plate and dropped it. “You shouldn't say anything because I told you I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to speak to anyone

ELINNABefore he could get to my table, he was stopped by a couple of people who wanted to say hi to him. I laughed internally as I could see that his attention was not with them and the only thing he wanted to do was walk away..I noticed that Mark was suddenly quiet and I could only wonder why. “I hope I didn't say anything to hurt you or offend you, Mark. If I did, accept my apologies. I didn't mean it.”He waived it off immediately. “What do you mean? Please stop, you're embarrassing..I was even thinking that I was the one who did something to hurt you. I didn't know you had a kid and even then, I shouldn't have spoken about a kid like that to a woman.” The way he was apologizing like he had done something terribly bad was cute. Mark and I were going to be good friends and hopefully, nothing more. Carlisle was finally able to escape from the jail of conversation and walk up to us. I could feel him looking at me but I didn't look up at him because I didn't know what to say to

ELINNA“Since when did you know that he was in town?”I knew that she would eventually say why she was angry. She had been giving me attitude since we got back from the party weeks ago and she barely talks to me or has breakfast with me. I've asked.her several times and she said that there was nothing wrong. I knew what it was but I didn't to give her a reason to be angry incase that wasn't it. “What do you mean? You saw him at the party right? What makes you think that I saw him before that? Lizzy, don't make this thing more than it is. Why do you hate him so much? Is there something else you're not telling me?”Even then, she didn't respond. All she did was seethe and then walk away angrily. I didn't have the strength to go after anybody so I just let her be. As soon as I finished breakfast, I kissed Chase goodbye and walked out of the house to work. If she wanted to come, that was fine. If she didn't want to come, that was also fine but I didn't like the way it was seeming l

CARLISLEWe were conducting interviews.. “What would you do for work. What would you like to do?”I just look for people sometimes and I wonder what they feel. “Just give me any job. I'll make sure that I do the job, anything that it is.”This individual didn't even know what we were setting him up with and I know just this person. We sent him out and I turned to Gomez. “The job market is shit. How do you want to find a teacher and not bad one?”I stopped what I was doing and came down here only to be met with bullshit. . “One faced what I was doing, the other three faced what they were doing and that's how things were for.me. And now, I know how things are for you.” I walked back into the house, trying to keep my body and mind active. Gomez said that I need spending too much time in the house. “But it's my house. Where are I supposed to stay at the gate?” I gave him an eye roll because I knew that he was going to give me some smart answer..“You know that's not what I'm tryin

56ELINNA“Why do you feel like you're avoiding me?”I turned to look at Brad to make sure that he had been talking to me because indidng understand where the question was coming from. “Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean? Avoiding you? Why would I do that, Brad?”He shrugged. “You seem to have to much to do right now. I mean, you have work, you have your son, you have your own life. I just don't think that there is space for me anymore.”I decided to make lunch since I had nothing better to do .“Brad, I'm glad you understand well that. If you do, I see no reason why you should feel like I'm avoiding you. If I were, I'd have avoided you from the day you came in New York.”He laughed. “Figures. So does that mean that we're down for dinner tonight. I want to take you out, see the city. Let's do something fun.” Well, I was going to babe to turn him down on that offer. I would really like.to but I was so fagged out and I wanted.to catch up on all my sleep tonight. I didn't want

ELINNA“What did you say?”Why was she acting like she couldn't hear me? “I said go ahead. slap me. I want you to hit me, just like old times. Remind me of my place and put me where I should be.”She turned back to face her mother who I saw shake her head at her but since Lily is so dumb, she saw that as a go ahead and she went ahead to attack me, raising her hand but before it could come back down, I already punched her in the stomach and choked her into a wall..“I guess we'll never know if you can put me in my place now.”I left her and she fell to the floor, coughing and gasping for air. I should have choked the life out of her since she wasn't using it for something good. But then, what we she use of staining my hand with something so useless. “Gina” I pointed my finger at her “This is the second time you're asking me for money. If you ask me for money a third time, I can assure you that you might not live to enjoy it. You will never eat a dime from my money. Not now, not ever

ELINNAI was not expecting any visitors so color me surprised when my door was almost thrown off its hinges when Carlisle stormed into the room. My heart was beating so fast in my chest until I realised it was him and I wondered what form of madness was going through his head this time. “Carlisle, what form of madness is this? Where do you think you are that you can just barge into my office when you like and how the hell did you get in?”His chest was heaving and I wondered what it was that was wrong. Because he always has something to be mad about. “I'm going to ask you one question and one question only. If you dare to lie to me, I swear, I will-”“What will you do, Carl? Hell, I don't even know why you're shouting but you won't do anything to me so stop the madness and talk to me like a normal human being. What the hell did I do wrong this time?” I was now standing at eye level with him and he seemed to calm down, just a notch. “Elinna, when you left me, were you pregnant?”I

ELINNA“It happened in the year I started working for him. He liked working late nights and since I lived in the house, I didn't see any reason why I shouldn't work with him. It would help reduce my workload during the day, or so I thought. He acted strange, different from the man who had employed me. He was rough, made more sexual jokes, he'd never come out in the day light. He rubbed me the wrong way but it didn't matter to me because I was being paid and I slept well and ate good food and got everything I wanted since I had his card. Until on day, he touched me.”A tear rolled down her face and she swiped it away quickly. “We were working late nights as usual and I was in his office. I didn't even know when he came to stand behind. The things he did to me that day, I can't say them but he left me with a scar that I will never forget. He made me feel so dirty. I almost ended it but I didn't because he wasn't worth it.”Wow, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Right off the bat,

CARLISLEThis time around, I didn't get there before her. Gomez had woken me up when when I told him to wake me up early so I could get ready and go to meet up with her.His friends had come over yesterday and we had a game night before which we had to watch the game and then we drank and talked about things. It was the most fun I'd had in awhile so I didn't blame Gomez for waking up late because I woke up late too.. “Are we almost there yet?” He turned around in the car and looked at me..“No, we're not. Don't worry. She won't be mad..just try calling her. Besides, it's not like you've not been the one waiting for her all this time.”I placed my phone on my ear and looked at him. “Statements like that is the reason why no woman but your mum loves you.”He turned to look at me like I was supposed to take it back but I didn't. I said what I said. “Elinna, I'm so sorry I haven't come there yet but I'm on my way now and we're almost close..please don't be mad.”She sighed. “No, it

ELINNAWhen Brad told me that he was going back to Berlin, I didn't know how to feel. He had come to New York for work and also to see me and I had completely ignored him, not intentionally but I had. He hadn't even seen a lot of.me and every time he wanted to spend time together, I was always busy. I had to make it up to him before he left. While I was avoiding him because I knew he had feeling for me, I was also trying not to hurt our friendship. “When is your flight?””Um, this weekend. I should be back home by Monday.”Okay then. I still had two days to not make him seem like a bad person. I mean, I could understand that he hadn't done it intentionally. Infact, he didn't mean to and he didn't know that I was married to Carlisle so he couldn't have known. “Are you free tomorrow? We could go do something in the afternoon. I'll clear my schedule.”He didn't respond immediately and I was wondering what he was thinking. I even thought he was going to refuse the offer..“Okay, I'll
