Elliot slumped on the chair tiredly, he faced Andrew, "Is there anymore for today?" He asked. Elliot could only be himself in the presence of Andrew and Hannah. "Yes, you have two more conference meetings for the day, then we can get some food and head home."Elliot sighed, but then, his phone vibrated. Curiosity peeked at him when he saw the doctor's contact on his phone."Hello?" "Mr.Harrison, long time, no see. How have you been?" The doctor chuckled slightly. "It's been good," Elliot quickly chipped in and continued, "Anything wrong that you called?""Oh yes," He sounded as if he just remembered his reason for calling, "Your Nana keeps on repeating your name for the past few hours."Elliot's brow creased in confusion, "My name?" He asked again."Yes, yes" He repeated, then cleared his throat and continued, "I think you need to visit her to see what's happening." The doctor added.A frown landed on his face, "What could possibly be wrong with his Nana?" He thought to himself. H
Elliot ignored his question, "I'm taking my Nana home today, hope that's okay?" He asked.The doctor waved his hands up in the air, "I was hoping you'd ask. Yes of course, she has fully recovered after the surgery, so she's free to go home.""Alright," Elliot held her hands gently, pulling her out of the bed.They walked out gently, Elliot faced Andrew who already dozed off on the chair. "Andrew," He yelled, "Let's go."Nana looked at Andrew suspiciously, her eyes scrutinized the more as she looked at his every step elegantly in front of them."Who is he?" She finally spoke out, pointing at Andrew.Elliot hugged his Nana, "Sooner, I'll introduce you to him, please keep calm." From the very start, his Nana was very inquisitive, she will dig into one's life if you really want to be someone close to Elliot, she cherished Elliot so much, that she didn't allowed anything horrible to happen to him.Elliot thought on how he would tell his Nana everything about him owning a company and being
"Of course Nana, I just answered that question for the third time now," He said with a hint of mockery.Her legs were wobbly, her brain was already beginning to hurt a little bit. This was just too much surprises in one day for her.She needed to sit down or she could collapse. Noticing her plight, Elliot led her to the nearest couch in which she sat.As soon as she sat, the chairs were extra bouncy than the ones at the hospital, the texture was soft and of amazing quality. She looked up at Elliot slowly, "Elliot, how did all of this happen?" She asked him, her face full of curiosity.Elliot signaled to both Andrew and the Driver to excuse them, "Excuse us." He commanded straightforward and they nodded in compliance. "Nana, I've never told you my past, right?" The first word came out from his mouth, his heart panged. He has never told anyone including his Nana about his past. He couldn't get himself to talk about his past for this whole years, but now he was ready. Ready to talk ab
He nodded gently. She sniffed in and exhaled. Elliot felt the weight he has been keeping in himself for years now has been lifted since he told someone, he finally had the heart to tell someone about his trauma and it felt nice. To him, he was a young adult who has passed though quadruple of what he age mates has passed through."Bu-But that doesn't explain how you got this place?" She managed to put those sentences together. Though this wasn't the perfect timing to ask this, she was still curious. "Do you mean this house and wealth?" He asked, his brows creasing at her.She nodded, her eyes fixated at him."Father." He said that one word that sent chills down to both his spine and his Nana's.Nana's eyes widened in shock, "You mean your father?" She repeated, staring at Elliot who just stood there transfixed. Elliot nodded slightly, not uttering a single word. "And you accepted all this out of greed, Elliot?" She murmured. Her head was beginning to get dizzy enough for her healt
She was shocked, she had never asked Elliot where he found the money for her surgery, and now that she forced him to, she was sorry for him.She felt like she was a burden to him. She made him do things that he didn't want to do.She walked towards him slowly, her hands stretching towards him, slouching him gently. "Elliot always had a rough life since childhood." She thought inwardly and continued, "And half of it was her fault.""Hey Elliot," She called out gently, she needed to reason with him, that was why she was his Nana."I completely understand why you made that decision. It's best known for your own reasons. I'm not angry at you anymore."Ignoring what she said, He sniffed in, "Very early in the morning, even the cold weather won't stop me, I would deliver packages to every door in almost half of the city. I would cry and pray when I would get to enjoy or even see life how others does." Then he pointed at the house, "And this, this was the slightest chance I had to accomplis
"Young Master, her father owns the Gucci company, one of the most successful companies in the world, if you can just have a meal with his daughter, he would give you half of his share. His words, not mine." He tried convincingly and continued, "Plus, you can get anything you want from him, all you have to do is have a meal with this daughter." "Arrange the time I'm meeting the president's daughter." He commanded, finally giving in to Andrew's words. Though Elliot felt guilty for what he just did, it was for business only and nothing else. Besides, Hannah has done that to him a thousand times without him getting angry or jealous. But he wasn't using it as a style of revenge, it was just for business only!Andrew was thrilled, he walked out of the room with heads up high. Andrew walked back in, "Young Master, please hurry. You will be running late for the meeting with the Carson brothers, they are probably expecting you there."Coldness enveloped the room, "Let them wait!" He command
The moment she saw Elliot, she stood up seductively, "Good day Mr. Harrison." Her thin voice spoke more seductively. She eyed Elliot slightly, her eyes staring fixed at his body, she couldn't just get her eyes off.Elliot nodded slightly, avoiding her gaze. Her ocean like pupils glistened in happiness. Elliot didn't just felt safe about this, so he kept a watch out.Slowly but elegantly, she sat down like a queen and stared at Elliot smiling, not missing any of his actions. Andrew already left and it was feeling awkward to Elliot, she didn't remove her gaze from him so he coughed slightly, "So," He started with a firm and cold voice, then he continued, "Miss Clinton, what business are we here for?" He asked, his eyes searching hers."You!" She poked her nose with her index finger and giggled delicately. Elliot's heart skipped a beat, "This woman was already out of her mind," He thought, glaring at her."Enough of the formalities, Elliot." She said sweetly, her voice sent shivers do
Elliot was taking aback by her words, this was the first time he would see a woman so straightforwarded, she didn't care about what others would think and just acted carelessly. After all, she was the president's daughter. "You are the most handsome man I've seen in my entire life." She suddenly added out of a blue. Her eye orbs locking into Elliot's. Elliot wasn't getting surprised by her words anymore, she never ceased to amaze him."My father never allowed me to showcase my beauty to the world." She said Nonchalantly, using her palm to brush Elliot's smooth, white skin and then she continued, "Though I have never thought much about it.Elliot reasoned," It seems her coming out of the house is making mentality come upon her." And with that, he chuckled at his thought.She moved more closer to him, enough for her to hear his steady breathing like an angel. Elliot's eyes widened, he didn't wanted to hurt this woman due to her status."Elliot," She said firstly, "Why the rush?" She a
He rolled his eyes, 'Oh great, now they were really close and making promises, huh?' He thought."Well, don't you worry Nana, she's at her family home and would be back soon." He replied.Out of a sudden, she came closer to him, stroking his hair gently and sweetly making him moan softly in pleasure, "I've told you several times, if you don't feel comfortable calling me Nana, you could just call me mother if that's okay with you." She stopped, then continued, "I've been taking care of you since you were little, you can just call me mother if you want."Elliot purred in satisfaction, his tense system and emotions calmed down a little bit. His worries flew away like a bird and he closed his eyes, trying to sink in every sweet moment they had."Mother," He called out for the very first time in a very long time. The word sent chills down his stomach and it made him felt a little awkward. He hasn't called anyone 'mother' for a very long time. And now that he was doing it, it felt somehow
Elliot walked towards the car and sat beside Andrew, with bulging eyes, he asked, "That's bad. What if Hannah or Lady Hart or any of her relatives that knows me watched the news?" He searched Andrew's eyes worriedly but it doesn't seem like Andrew was concerned. He just wore a nonchalant face when something bad just happened to him. "Why don't you seem concerned?" Elliot asked out of the blue, staring at Andrew's eyes trying to fathom what he was currently thinking. Andrew shrugged a little bit, "What we have at hand is definitely way more worse than Hannah, or her parents or relatives seeing you on TV."Elliot stared at Andrew for some damn time, now he was confusing him. Come to think of it, he has been speaking indifferently ever since he called him this morning."Oh," He tapped his head hard, "And what did you want to tell me, that you claimed was so urgent?""We need to get home first, what I want to tell you might shake you a bit." He spoke , but he never left the road.Elliot
"Well, it felt great and the opposite at the same time. Everything seemed too excess to me, when I knew that the less privileged needed those things and I had the excess of those things." Then he looked around the people for some time and continued, "So that's why I thought that I would do my utmost best to help the less privileged, even if it isn't in my position to do so."An uproar of applause rounded the air, and the cameras did their work effectively too. The Smile on the crowd's face made his heart warm up a little. He knew what it felt like to feel hungry, and desperately needed money for it. He stood up, and bowed in respect to their applause.The interviewer smiled brightly, in all his years of interviewing and questioning rich people or celebrities, they have never opened up to him or the whole crowd like this. He could notice that in Elliot's voice, there was no such thing as proudness, he couldn't feel any hint of proudness in his tone. Plus, he was subjected to humility.
And that moment, she stood up too, "Then I'm not calling her to call it off. Whether you like it or not, she's coming here." She replied, then walked out on him hurriedly and went to her room, then the sound of the room closing hardly enveloped the air.He glanced at the table in frustration, then his eyes moved over to her phone lying there uselessly.Then an accomplished smile crept up his lips as he picked it up and dialed her number. "Hello?" She spoke, the sound of whooshing air was heard at the background of the calling."You can turn."Lady Hart turned her head in confusion, and she sneered before she spoke, "What in the hell are you talking about?" He spoke gently, making his every word sound creasy, "I said you can turn back, Lady Hart." He answered back.A strand of sweat lingered around his forehead. He couldn't fathom what she would do next, but he stood his stance. If he could just avoid her coming here, maybe his wife wouldn't die like she did in his dream."I'm almost
"How is she?" Lady's Hart's voice spoke fluently at the other side of the phone, her voice as lively as ever.Disgust and nothing but hate flushed down his system. If his wife really died, he was going to make sure he finished this woman before he died. Even if it means going to jail or getting killed for it.After hearing her voice being lively, his hands shook. Her voice and words made him remember his wife. That was how she talked, so lively!"Hello?" Lady Hart's voice spoke yet again after she waited for some time and didn't hear any response."You there?" She repeated, but an ounce of pity wasn't evident in her voice."She's dead." He managed to say, then smashed the phone against the floor angrily. He didn't care what she would feel, but still, he knew she wouldn't care since she was pitiless. She was nothing but a nonchalant, wicked, money-loved mother and mother in law to them. And to Hannah, she wasn't the perfect grandmother. Ever since Hannah was young, he would remember w
She held her head in pains, her mouth looked painfully twitched and her eyes were closed tight, not even opening for a second."Honey, are you okay?" He asked curiously, he ran to where she was. Her back rested unto the wall hardly, she wriggled her hands and head every now and then.She ignored his question, it felt like heavy drumming was happening in her head, and she tried speaking but she just couldn't.Mr Hart gazed backwards only to see Lady Hart already seated on the dining chair once again, sipping orange juice while giggling over her phone nonchalantly. She acted as if they didn't exist.He sneered, right now, he didn't have time for this woman. He dragged his wife in pain, she was unconscious already and her body was heavier than what he thought, her breathing was unstable and it felt like life was slowly slipping out of her.He was getting convinced that something happened, "Honey?" He muttered to her ears, but unfortunately, there was no response for a long time.He wiggl
Lady Hart breathed in indifferently, closed her eyes and opened it only to see Mr Hart breathing heavily opposite her. She twitched her mouth downwards, she tried calming the anger that brewed in her, though it wasn't what she expected, it still looked all fun to her. "Mr Hart, calm down. What happened?" She asked, pretending to care about whatever he fussed about. She tried adding salts to the wound, probably, it would get him infuriated.He breathed in, "You are not worthy to be called a grandmother!" He scowled at her, his figure was already getting intimidating."Now that was way past her league." She thought within herself.Her eyes turned deadly, this wasn't a joke anymore. How could he talk nonsense to her face? Wasn't she intimidated by her?"Enough!" She yelled back, the food shook on the table vigorously.Mrs Hart hid in her own shadows, she wasn't conscious of what she would do. Now, both her husband and mother were furious and she was totally lost in her thoughts.Mr Har
Calm down, Honey. I was just furious, that's all." He said in a soft whisper, trying to kiss her cheek gently but she shoved him off, moaning softly."You just said it was all my fault. When we both know it's not." She explained, still in a furious voice."Anger and yelling isn't the nearest solution right now. I suggest we just call Lady Hart and inform her about what's going on. After hearing our explanation, she'll have no other choice than to tell her to come back home."Mrs Hart sniffed in gently, nodding her head. Then she brought out her phone, dialing Lady Hart's number. After a number of beeping, Lady Hart's voice came through later on, "What do you want?" She asked nonchalantly."Can we speak over dinner tonight?" She asked in a straight tone. Her once vibrant tone sounded angry and wasn't in a good mood.~~~~~Later at night,"The lasagnas are ready!" Mrs Hart announced, putting the tray of food on the table. The aroma of the lasagna and herbal tea which was Lady Hart's fav
"Honey, wasn't he Nicholas? The same tall one that dated Hannah when they were still in school?" Mr Hart spoke with disbelief evident in his tone, staring darkly at his wife.She couldn't get herself to say yes or no. All her whole life, she believed Nicholas was one of the perfect men for her daughter. But when Hannah came home, informing her of her break up with him, she was devastated.She nodded slowly, before coming to her senses, "Come on darling, Is that the only Nicholas we know? The Nicholas that dated our daughter was way too nice to do that." She concluded.Her husband ignored her, since he knew he was all for the money, she wouldn't want to believe that Nicholas could do such a thingMr Hart faced Andrew, "Did you get to meet Him? Could you describe his facial features and body size?"Andrew nodded, then closed his eyes to remember the man. All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, "He had thick black hair and brows. Looking like a model, the left side of his lips curved a litt
