A Symphony Of Missing Clothes

ElleI think there's a part of me that still believes all of this is a dream.A very small, very illusioned part of me.My first few days at Aaron's mansion are spent locked up in my room. Aaron hasn't tried to talk to me since I signed the contract and neither have I. Honestly, I think it's better this way. The two of us only need to put up an act when people are around so what's the use of us interacting beyond that?Maureen, the nice older lady who'd cleaned my room on my first day here has become my only point of contact with the outside world. She’s chatty, too chatty, but I've grown rather fond of her constant rambling.She lets me know what the weather reports say, even though I tell her multiple times that I can just look it up.She asks about my plans for the day, and I tell her nothing particularly interesting. She talks about her daughter's questionable taste in men and I smile in a bit to seem polite.This has been our routine for three days.When she's gone I sit with mys

Shopping Trip

ElleI'm fairly certain that in my past life, I must've done something terrible to offend the gods. Why else will my luck be this bad? I must’ve committed some sort of dreadful crime to have karma breathing down my neck in such a way."Will that be all, Angel?"Will that be all?Will that be all?This man is really something.I glanced over at the mountain of glossy shopping bags stacked side by side—bags that now belonged to me.My mouth opens, then shuts, then opens again."Will that be all, ma'am?” The shop assistant is the one to ask me this time, and I'm seconds away from telling her that I don't need her to repeat the question.She doesn't look half as stunned as I am. In fact, she looks rather pleased with my splurge, but then again, her smiling face could also stem from the fact that her eyes hadn't moved from Aaron since we got here.So I could be wrong.Slowly I turn my head towards my fiancé and feel my irritation spike at the teasing smile now growing on his lips.I could

Engagement Rings

ElleThe driver pulls into the parking lot, gliding the car to a stop in an empty spot near the entrance of the parking lot.Anticipation builds in my chest as I take a closer look at the building. It's huge and gleams under the late afternoon sun in a way that makes it look like it was cut from a diamond itself.My nerves bubble up to the surface, bright and making me painfully aware that I am completely out of my element. A classic example of a fish out of water. If you compare the store I'd taken us to earlier and Éclat, the second will outrank the first in terms of glamour and sophistication by a landslide.Éclat is refined for anyone not of ordinary taste. In other words, it's a place where rich people go to spend money and common folk like me can only dream of going.Well, I guess I'm not common folk anymore.Suddenly I become all too aware that I'm only wearing a t-shirt and jeans. The shirt was Aaron's, and while my jeans jugged my curves, the shirt made it seem like I was a

The Past (1)

Elle (Fourteen, London) My mother was drunk. Again. I stared at her almost lifeless body crouched over the toilet bowl. Her hair stuck to her face in dark curls, the tip wet with what I can only assume to be vomit, but I refused to settle on the idea. Had she slept here? Probably. It wasn't unusual for my mother to come home disoriented after a night out drinking with her friends and mistake a room in the house for her bedroom. A groan that sounded more like that of a wounded coyote than a human being slipped from her lips and I'm thankful because that inhuman sound means that she is alive. Without any warning she attempted to push herself up, using the toilet seat as leverage. Unfortunately, she doesn't make it very far and seconds later she collapsed to the floor. Her shoulders fell and her head rolled back on its own. When her gaze lifted to meet mine, mascara streaked down the corners of her eyelids and her cheeks. Her lipstick was smudged, her blouse dishevelled and with

Sweet Dreams

ElleI can't sleep.I glance over at the alarm clock sitting on the nightstand and an annoyed sound leaves my throat.3:30 amJesus fucking Christ.I've been up for two hours. Apparently, the rest I'd got the first day I arrived at Aaron's mansion was only meant for that one single day alone. Ever since the second, to say sleep has eluded me would be putting it lightly. I was tired most days, and when I wasn't dragging Aaron through a store or having him put a ring on my finger, I was trying—and failing, might I add, to get some sleep. Groaning, I roll over on my side and close my eyes. I squeeze my lids together, desperately waiting and waiting for the familiar heaviness I craved to sleep through. But I'm met with nothing but darkness.Ugh. This is hopeless.Flopping on my back I let out a long breath. I woke up from a dream I would've preferred not to have in the first place. My mother had watched me leave the house after breakfast. It was the day she told me that her new boyfrien

Poison Ivy

ElleThere's a strange woman in Aaron's Kitchen. Her back is turned to me, and she's rummaging through the fridge, pulling out one thing after the other with a practised ease, as though she knows where everything is.My heart rate doubles and I don't know why, but the way she glides through the kitchen, graceful and confident, sends a wave of uneasiness down my gut.Who is she?Why is she here?She spins around and I freeze. Her eyes go round and her lips form a tiny O shape."Well, this is awkward," she says. She had an accent, faint but distinct, much like mineYoubeen told. "I wasn't watching you" I say. I don't know why those are the first words to come out of my lips maybe it's because she's looking at me like I'm a creature from a strange planet."Are you lost?" I blink. It takes me a full second to realise that the question is directed at me."Excuse me?""It's not like Aaron to let his guests stay the night." She says the word guests with enough implications that it doesn't t

Meet The Sister And Her Russian Family.

ElleAaron's sister is called Ava Volkov. She greets us at the door of her and her husband's mansion with a smile so sweet it could cause cavities plastered on her face."You must be Elle." I stretch my hand forward for a handshake but she uses it to pull me into an embrace. I'm frozen, and when I look over at Aaron, he's watching us closely, his mouth twitching as though he’s fighting a smirk.The bastard probably is.Ava squeezes me tighter than expected before finally pulling back, her hands lingering on my arms as she looks me over with a curious brightness in her eyes.“Wow,” she says softly, but loud enough that I catch it. “You’re even prettier than Aaron made you sound.” He made me sound pretty?Against my will, heat rushes to my face, but I fight it back with a cough. Aaron and I hadn't spoken throughout the ride here. He's been distant. Different from the Aaron I had grown to know these last few days. Maybe I'd taken it a bit too far in the kitchen but I was mad. Sue me.I

Wedding Planning

Aaron Breakfast goes on without any hitch. My sister and her husband feed the twins while happily chatting away with Elle about God knows what. I haven't listened to a word uttered from either of their mouths since I sat down simply because my mind, gaze and body, are all attuned to the one gorgeous woman sitting next to me. Surprisingly, she's good with the kids. Elle asks them about their interest and looks genuinely interested in their reply. She talks with Ava about the plans for her latest exhibition. Her eyes light up in a way I've never seen before and I'm completely enraptured by it. And when they leave to go play, she acts disappointed. Earlier, when she told my sister that she loved me, I'd been struck speechless. Helpless under the possibility that she might be telling the truth. Logically, I know how ridiculous that sounds. I've barely gotten to know her these last few days, but she'd spun up a tale so elaborate that I had no choice but to let my walls down and a

The Past (2)

Elle (15, London)Today was my mother's wedding.She stood next to her new husband, her face beaming, her lips smiling, and her eyes sparkling in a way I don't think I've ever seen before.She slipped her arm under Richard's, pressing herself closer to his side despite the fullness of her dress. Light from the stained glass catches the tiny stones that embellish her upper bodice.A proper wedding dress wasn't in the cards for my mother during her first wedding to my father.From what I was told, their entire wedding had been as mundane and forgettable as they came. Neither of them had the money to fund the type of wedding they truly wanted, so they made do with what they had. Which was practically nothing.But my mother made sure that wasn't the case for her second wedding."It'll be glamorous, love, " she said to me, her eyes twinkling as she got lost in a daydream two nights ago.I'd said nothing because I didn't know what to say.This time, she made sure the dress she wore was mad

Sore Backs And A Bed

ElleThe next few days are dull and uneventful.I spend my days locked up in my room and my evenings exploring the estate.Turns out this place is a lot bigger than I originally thought. I've also discovered a new cozy little spot just behind the main mansion, which is perfect for relaxation and, honestly, getting away from everything, which is something I've found myself wanting to do more and more each day, especially with the Langston Senatorial ball looming closer.When we came back to the mansion we both decided that we needed a game plan. Something that was bulletproof and was sure not to yield under the pressure. Lying can only take us so far, and we needed a proper story if we were going to sell our quote-unquote love story at the ball.Trouble is, every time we try to sit down and put something together, we either end up arguing about the tiniest of details and falling into this awkward silence where neither of us knows what to say.The Langston Senatorial Ball tomorrow, an
