Trevor glanced at Elsa who was sitting on his bed as he stepped into the room with a glass of water. Elsa have a cloth wrapped around her body as she kept on sobbing lightly.
"Are you going to keep crying all night?" He asked dropping the glass of water on the table beside her.
Elsa wiped the tears using the back of her hand. "Four year Trevor. We've been together for four years and he threw all of that away because of a mistake" she sniffed. Trying hard not to cry out loud.
"You have to let him go. I guess he doesn't love you the way you had thought. This should teach you a lesson. I never liked them before and I still don't" Trevor said beside her and she looked up to him.
"What do you mean?" Her voice came out raspy.
"My mother faced a lot because of Chantel. Outside, one would think she is a role model. But behind the mask she is putting on, lies the devil" Trevor said and Elsa looked away.
"I thought she sees me as her daughter but.. why.. I regret doing what I did that night. But I did that because I love him"
"Shh" Trevor placed his index finger on her lips and she looked up at him. "It's okay. Getting depressed over them is going to make you fall ill. And I don't want that to happen Elsa. You're a good person.. the best I mean" He said lightly, tucking the her hair behind ear. Their face was close.
"I can't help the pain growing inside me Trevor, I wish for my it to go away" she whispered. He stared at her for unmeasurable amount of time and slowly Lean down closer to her face.
As their lips almost touches, Elsa snapped back to reality and retreated her face.
"I.. I am sorry" Trevor quickly apologized.
"It's.. it's fine" Elsa said not looking at him.
"I'm deeply sorry" he apologized again.
"It's fine, I promise" Elsa looked at him this time and gave him a smile.
"Okay. The dinner is almost done. I'll bring it soon" he said.
"Your place seems nice" Elsa said with her eyes scanning the room, while Trevor stared at her. Not getting any reply, she looked at him.
Trevor cleared his throat and replied. "Yeah thanks. I better go before I burn down the whole house" they both chuckled and he went to the kitchen.

Calton sat beside the beautiful kid as he kept on staring at him. He could see the resemblance between him and the little boy. His face was peaceful but then fill of courage. This reminded him on how he look like when he was a kid.
"His name is Davidson. He wish to be a lawyer" Delphine spoke, breaking the silence in the ward.
"Davidson" Calton repeated the little boy's name.
"Yeah, it's his second name" she said and Calton gave her a look. Gosh he is so handsome, she thought to herself.
"What is the first?" He asked.
"I thought of his father giving him the first name" Delphine smiled plainly. She never thought she would actually have Calton before her right now but it was happening.
Chantel walked into the ward looking Gorgeous with her badass dressing. In her hand, was two bags. "I bought lunch" she dropped it before them.
"Thanks mom" Calton smiled.
"Keep me updated okay, the doctor will be here soon" Chantel said and the shifted her gaze to Delphine. "Take good care of yourself Delphine, I'll be back once I'm done with shareholders" she said and left the ward.
The doctor came into the ward after a while and informed it was time for the blood transfusion.
Chantel tried her best to keep Calton case on low though Calton recieved an earful from Dominic. The fact that he drink when he knows he have a bad tolerance of alcohol upset him. And now, Calton is stressing his wife.
"No one is above mistake hubby, just let him be" Chantel said as he placed his dinner before him.
"What about Elsa?" He asked.
"I haven't heard from her and she haven't show herself up at the company. I hope she is alright. Calton just need sometime"
"What about Delphine?" He asked.
"She seems to be nice and truthful. I won't lie, I love her boldness and endurance over the years.. but Calton is the one to make his choice"
Dominic kissed her lips after her word. He dragged her tight close, lift her and place her on the table.
"I'd love to eat before eating" He whispered seductively.
"C'mon baby" Chantel pulled his shirt close.

Avery took off her glasses as she watch the familiar car stop before her. She board into the car and gave the man on the driver seat a questioning look.
"Yeah, I know this was too sudden but I need a companion on this" Lucas quickly answered her unspoken question.
"Oh yeah, and what's that?" She asked.
"You'll find out once you get there" Lucas said with a small smile.
"It better be something important or I'll break your head" she warned.
"Don't worry, you'll love it" He said starting the car. Avery knew this man won't harm her so she was calm.
After 30 minutes drive, they got to a strange area. Before them, is a large gate. Lucas slow down the car and watch the guy standing in front of it come to them.
"What's this pla..."
"Shh.. whatever happens. Let me do the talking" Lucas cut her off and she shot him a glare.
The guy nudge his head to him, Lucas bought out a small card and he was let in. He parked his car before a building and they both step down.
"Let's go in" Lucas said and she sigh.
A middle aged man sat on a dimed lighted room with a cigar dangling at one side of his lips. His aura was quite dangerous, Avery Wondered why Lucas bought her here.
"President Lucas" The man called standing up slowly on his feet. He removed the cigar from his lips and breath out thick smokes from his mouth and nostrils.
Two of his men went behind them and gesture for them to move forward. Avery spared a glance at Lucas asking what is going on, he gave her an assuring look.
"I never thought you'd bring someone here" The man eyes lingered on Avery's feature, which made her feel disgusted. "Have a seat" He said with a smile.
As they both sit before him, Avery keep her calm look on though, she is wary of every single thing happening around her.
"May I ask who this lady is?" The man asked giving Avery a smile in which do not have in return.
"My partner" Lucas replied.
"The word Partner has different areas.. I'm just asking because I find her pleasing"
"In every area" Avery replied, a biting in her voice. Lucas only let out a small smile.
The man thought he might have offended her so he said. "I'm sorry miss. Forgive my manners" he return his gaze to Lucas. "So Mr Lucas, would you like to have a drink. We can offer you anyone of your choice"
"I'm alright.. I'm here for my sister, where is she?" He asked and Avery frowned. Sister? Does he mean Luxury?
"I guess there's no need for me to pretend any longer since you bought Miss Winfrey here just like you had said" The man spoke and Avery frowned deeper.
"What is he talking about?" She asked Lucas with a glare.
"Actually this man over here, held my sister Luxury captive over a deal he wanted me to sign, in which I don't want to, but didn't have a choice but to come here. He said he can only talk to me only if I bring you here" Lucas replied.
"And what does he want me here for?" Avery asked and they both looked at the man.
The man eyes squinted in excitement. "I want you to be my bride"
"What?!"
