All Chapters of Too Late For Us, Mr Ashford : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Marcus. We sat in front of Sarah while I kept waiting to hear if there was going to be a different view from what was expected. She had hinted to me prior to this moment that she didn't think I was doing too well because of the intense stress I was under, which wasn't a bad thing. I didn't bother telling her that her friend was the cause of my misery or else that was going to put her at a spot where she wouldn't love to getting involved and I understood that. My idea about doing certain things was because I wanted to bring peace to myself and not to include anyone in my problems. "Have you been finding it difficult to sleep?" She asked with no intention to make me feel uncomfortable but I still felt that way in my skin. Dr Sarah was one of the most competent people that I have met and while I would have wanted to act as though I was nonchalant I knew that there was no sense in that so I just abandoned that idea entirely. For any reason she was the one who was going to cal

Elena. Ever since that day it seemed as though there was a shift in the air. I couldn't place my finger on it but I knew that it was wild and I wanted it to continue. In fact I didn't want anything that was going to stop the flow because then I would have to return to the previous way of always second guessing my actions. Going to work with him was one of the most cheerful things that I had done in a long time and it made me look forward to waking up. "Mommy, why are you smiling this morning?" Diego's voice drew me back to the present. There was absolutely nothing that I could do in his absence or else he was going to call me out on it and I would have to admit that there was something going on which I hated. My son was ready to ask me every silly question and hoped that I answered him correctly. "Do I no longer have the right to smile around this house?" I evaded the question perfectly hoping that he didn't poke more. It was just until I heard a chuckle from above that

Elena. Marcus and I pretended like there was no elephant in the room. In fact, we had not even discussed anything much apart from the fact that we had a lot of campaigns to do and at some point I was beginning to think that this was going to be a lot. Some people had made it their mandate to get on my nerves and no matter how much Marcus had been working himself I just wanted him to relax. Why did they think that they had the upper hand in making deals? "Why have you been frowning?"I looked up from my laptop and stared into his eyes. Firstly my son had accused me of smiling too much and now he was also telling me that I was frowning. "Is it going to affect my job?" Marcus didn't find it funny, instead he looked at me like I was some endangered species. I saw the way he kept shooting glasses at me when my son and I had that disagreement and I knew he wanted to interfere but decided against it. I was happy that he didn't do too much to make me feel like I was a bad parent or that

Elena. If there was a better way for us to forget everything that must have happened I think I would have taken it but from everything that I have seen so far, none of it was going to happen at least not on my watch. I had a longer time to cross most of the things that I had been commissioned to handle. My ex mother-in-law must have never imagined that I was going to be standing here and watching her like the villain that she was. "I don't see any reason in all of these that you've been doing so far. It seems as if you're just trying to make amends for the mistakes that you made in the past and I can understand it to an extent." That was an insult but it would only be way worse if I allowed it to get into my head and destroy everything that I stood for. In fact I believed that there was a time required for me to get myself together and put things in place or else I was going to lose my mind again. I smile at her instead. "Who would have thought that after all this while you wou

Elena.Two weeks later, Marcus had resumed his therapy section but this time without me and I didn't think I blamed him one bit. I had piled up all the anger that I had towards his mother and sent them towards him like an avalanche. If I were in his shoes I wouldn't hesitate to avoid someone who had such hatred towards me. But for some reason I missed his presence and I wanted to be closer to him. Maybe he would understand my point and not see me as a bad guy I knew that at some point we would have to talk about the elephant in the room but for now we would keep pretending like it was nothing. I also had an idea that I was not going to tamper with. Sarah and I had scheduled a date. I knew she wanted to talk to me about her patient but in a way that it wouldn't seem like she was divulging too much information and I appreciated that effort. What I didn't appreciate was the fact that she was going to act like I was doing too much. Maybe I shouldn't have handled things in that mann
