After the little 'game' that they played with Richard the other night, everything seemed to be back in place, and even his mother-in-law had nothing to say about the whole issue. It was even safe to say that she was feeling a bit guilty about lying against Elaina.Following the promises the company made to Elaina, about giving her an advance before even starting the job, they gave her a huge amount of money, serving as the advance payment. When Elaina saw that, she almost peed herself, because she had thought that they were just playing with her when they told her that.Elaina's excitement was palpable, as she showed Eden the advance she had received. She was mostly happy about the fact that everything was becoming better for them, not knowing how it was even happening.Eden was still hiding the main secret from her, with a promise to tell her when the time was right.To celebrate their little win, Eden brought the idea of the both of them going out for a while, just the two of them.

As Elaina stood at a corner of the huge hall, staring at everyone, as they walked around with so much pride and elegance. She couldn't take her hands off the diamond necklace around her neck. It was too heavy on her neck, but still, it was still hard for her to keep her hands off it. The whole thing was like a dream to her, and she couldn't believe that the necklace actually belonged to her. It was way too good to be true."How did this happen?" Elaina asked herself, and she stole a quick glance at the diamond necklace. The whole thing happened so fast, and she was sure that if she didn't get an explanation about the whole...process, then she would end up losing her mind. The diamond on her neck was worth half a million dollars, Elaina guessed, and touched it again."Or even more expensive than that," she thought out loud, and decided to fix her gaze on the smart waitress, who had been walking around for the past five minutes.Eden was just getting called by so many people that he did

"Hey, are you okay?" Elaina said to Eden, when she noticed the look of grief on his face. Eden had been trying to hide his grief for the past thirty minutes, but looking at Vincent and men was making it harder, and he could no longer hide the fact that his heart was broken into so many pieces, pieces that could never be put together again."Come on, answer me!" Elaina shook Eden by his shoulders, and took his face into hers. Eden didn't say anything. Well, what could he say? He couldn't just start telling her the whole story at that spot, he was sure that she wouldn't even understand at all. He was the only one that understood everything. "Yes, I'm fine. I'm just a bit...tired." Eden managed to say through gritted teeth.Elaina gave him a small out, before leading him to a chair. She took the one that was beside it too, and started rubbing his head like he was a child. She was trying so hard to make sure that he felt better, because she had a feeling that there was something really wr

Elaina had been hurt by her family members, but she also wanted to break one of her newly made rules, which was to never allow anyone to manipulate her. She hated her family, but helping them had been on her mind since Eden told her to never help them with anything. The fact that they literally had to watch them enjoying their new lives, while they suffered, made Elaina's heart clench against her chest, and she suspected that she would betray Eden and pick them over him. She just prayed that that day never comes, because if it does...It soon became Eden and Elaina's routine to leave the house early and get home late, and they loved it that way. Their lives were low-key, but they were still spending money too at the same time. Eden has been thinking about the promise he made to himself, which was to avenge Arnold's death, but he didn't know how he wanted to go about it. He wasn't even interested in telling Elaina about it, because he knew that if he did, she would definitely discourag

"So, it's a deal?" Richard stood up, and stretched his hand forward to shake Vincent, but he got Vincent's cigarette on his hand instead. He didn't say anything to Vincent, because he was scared of him. Vincent had agreed to help him to take revenge on Eden on one condition: he would be paid a huge sum of money after getting a share of the company. Richard instantly agreed, because he was planning on betraying Vincent after the revenge was done. The rest of that day went really well for Richard, as he couldn't stop thinking about the looks on Eden's face, when he saw that Richard had arrived, but he didn't come alone. *********************Elaina was feeling weird that night. She couldn't explain how she was feeling to Eden, because she didn't know what was wrong with her. Her temperature was high and her eyes burned whenever the light got turned on. Eden suspected that she had a fever and he told her to lay down and rest for a while, before she finally slept off. H
