“I never knew how close I was to becoming powerful and fulfilled,” Ella whined inwardly as she made home in the taxi, “If only I had waited for Ethan. If only I had stayed with him till the end.” She stroked her hair and lowered her gaze, “God, I can’t believe I have lost him, no.”When she got home, she sneaked into her room through the window and turned sour.Her phone began to ring. It was Jack, and she tossed it away and buried her head in the duvet, reminiscing about her past moment with Ethan:The countless money she gave him, just to assist him financially when he lost his mother to cancer.“I have always believed in him and that was why I supported him financially,” she grunted and gnashed her teeth, “Ethan is mine and mine alone. I am not going to stand and watch him slip out of my hands. What did I do that is not forgivable?”Itches of regret ravaged her body and she left her bed and began to pace up and down until she finally fell asleep on the cold floor.The next day, in

The class was fine and applied art and as usual every student came expectant, mostly to hear what their score for the project would be like.Ethan was glad to have made it to the class before the arrival of the professor, Dr. Mike, a tall hostile-looking , Spanish man that rarely smiled. All the while the class had been calm and coordinated but the moment Ethan arrived, he broke the silence.Jack sat at the back, seething and burning as he saw every student give him a hug. Ella kept to her silence, with lingering, craving eyes gathering so much around Ethan.“Hey Ethan I must commend your effort to pull that music show through,” That was the voice of Susan who had just sneaked to his desk to keep him company.Ella almost made a move to confront Susan once she noticed her hands coiling on Ethan’ shoulders; she breathed uneasily and Jack only thought she was getting nauseated with the flue she claimed to have.Soon almost every student gathered at Ethan’s desk, trying to share their exp

“I know you think I am mad over you because of your new identity,” her voice came permissively, “but I just want you to know I have never felt in love with you the way I feel now.”Ethan tossed his head, while he pressed his phone and chuckled at the funny photos on social media, giving her the cold shoulders and paying less attention to her.“Oh I see, you are so madly in love with me now, huh,” he smirked and shrugged, “Can you just listen to yourself Ella? This man you are seeing is too busy for love. Are you surprised to hear that?” he cast a glance at his expensive wrist watch.She blinked cautiously at the karat of diamond that pitched on the watch and she almost lost her breath, wondering how much that must have cost him. “I know you are pained. It is written all over you and you have every right to repel me and do whatever you like but…”“Point of correction, Ella. I am not pained. I have moved on. If I am pained I wouldn’t be talking to you in the first place. If I were pain

Jack clenched his jaw once he drove into the parking lot; he had come to pay a visit to Ella after she failed to show up in school today. This time he declined sneaking to her window as usual. He actually wanted to have a word with Ella, and if possible her parents.She had gone cold toward him and something needed to be sorted out.Mrs. Tony was well-seated in the lone sofa close to the fireplace and once Jack got in, she screwed up her brow; her cheeks got meshed in fury.Jack dragged a smile. “Good morning.” His tone was heaved with tension.“I thought a responsible, well-trained boy was supposed to knock before getting into someone’s house.”Jack raised a thick brow, wondering if she knew he was actually the one, or was anything altered in his looks. She had never blown hot at him before; she had always been the adoring, caring mother of his girlfriend who would do anything to please.Jack had never been so shocked in his life. He had to take down the hoody on his head for clarity
