Elara caught the falling lace mask and pressed it back against her face, securing the ribbon with a tight knot so it won't fall off again. Christian asked her if she's okay and she nodded. Both Elara and Christian continued dancing on the rhythm. The two looked like a pair of swans who were made for one another. Elara and Christian kept smiling at one another, unaware of the fact that the world had shattered for Nathaniel.The crystal glass had fallen into pieces in the ground. A whole trail of crimson red blood was beginning to bloom against Nathaniel's white cuff. He stood there frozen in shock, staring at the spot where Elara and Christian were dancing together. Nathaniel’s chest was heaving as if he’d just run into a marathon race."Nate! What the hell?" Marcus, who had seen the glass shatter in Nathaniel's hand, rushed there and reached him, his eyes dropping to the floor where the bourbon and glass lay in a messy heap. "Dude, you just crushed the glass like it was a soda can.

The silence that surrounded the air after the slap was finally broken by the distant music coming from the ballroom. Nathaniel’s head was still turned to the other side, his skin stinging hard where Elara's palm had left a red handprint on his cheek.He had never been struck in his life before, not by his father, and certainly not by the same wife who once used to wait for him with a warm smile on her face. The same woman who always said that she loved him.He turned his face back to Elara slowly. His eyes were dark, with a hint of confusion and the boiling inside. He took a step towards Elara, his dark shadow swallowing her petite form.Seeing him coming closer, Elara couldn't help but flinch. She instinctively stepped backward as if she was afraid to be hit by Nathaniel.Her action made Nathaniel freeze on his spot. The anger that had been boiling hot in his chest suddenly vanished. All his rage was replaced by an ache he couldn't decipher. He looked at the way she was cowering aw

Elara's eyes slowly flickered open. The first thing she saw was the ceiling of her own room in the Hale mansion and she realised that she was in her bedroom, and not in the guest suite with Nathaniel anymore.She groaned, feeling a dull ache building in her temples. Immediately, a sudden movement surrounded her bed. She found her mother, Katherine, was right there with her, clutching Elara’s hand like she was afraid she might disappear. Her father stood at the foot of the bed with his arms crossed, his face a mask of deep worry, while her brother Elliott paced all back and forth looking worried as well.Christian was standing at the door, his eyes dark with relief as he watched her wake up but she could see a lingering anger in his eyes."Elara's awake," Katherine whispered, as she took a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank god you're awake. Elara, honey, can you hear me?"Elara nodded weakly, as she tried to sit up. "I’m... I’m okay, mom. What happened?"The family doctor, who had been pack

The morning sun cascaded through the large windows of Elara's room, but Elara barely noticed that soft light. She sat in her bed, wrapped in a silk robe as she stared blankly at the green tea in her hand. Whenever she closed her eyes, Nathaniel’s voice echoed in her head like a storm. He has called her a gold digger. The word felt like a painful reminder of the Love she had once given to her husband. How could he? After three years of her being a shadow in his house, asking for nothing but only his time, yet he truly believed she was with him for the money. She thought bitterly. Her mind drifted back to the past, beyond their cold marriage. She thought back to when she had met him for the first time. They were both teens, she had saved him, but maybe he didn't even remember that as well. It was a time buried so deep in the past that it felt like another life to her now. She could still see his face from that day, a face that haunted her dreams for years. Maybe the painful part

Elara felt the blood drain from her face. The voice on the other end of the line was like a nightmare she had tried to run away from, but it was back, and now it sounded even more terrifying than she had ever heard it before.She gripped the phone, her heart pounding so hard that she could hear her heartbeat through her ears. "Nathaniel? You…How did you get this number? I blocked you.” she whispered with her shaking voiceThen she realized that the screen had shown a string of unknown digits. Nathaniel had used a completely new phone number just to reach her. Did he know? Did he finally find out that she wasn't the poor scholarship girl he thought she was? Did he know she was a Hale heiress? Is that why he's calling her now?”Her mind raced with many thoughts and questions."What….what do you mean, Nathaniel? What didn't I tell you? If this is about the money or the divorce, I told you I don't want anything from you. Just let it go." she spoke up, her voice growing with coldness as
