Chapter 41

Elle Point of view

Logan didn't come back to me even though it was late at night. I waited for him but he never came back. He didn't even let me know they were leaving or not even inform me that he couldn't come back right away. Is that hard to do or a big responsibilities? I just want to talk to myself, I hope someone will answer my question.

I waited for whole day again even tho I know that he is not coming back. I let out a heavy sigh when I didn't see anyone. When I was about to go back to bed and go to sleep, suddenly there was a crack on the far side of the window.

My heart beat get faster. I looked first to see if it would come out but no matter how much I waited I didn't see anything. Who is that peron this time? Is it Augustus?

I backed away and my face was covered and my heart was full of nervousness because Augustus might suddenly take me again.

When I was about to take a step back to run away, my eyes widened and I intended to shout when someone cover up my mouth.

My body shake and tears dripped from my eyes as I remembered what Augustus had done. How can he go here? I want Logan. I am scared. Please, Logan. Help me. I am scared. This is not good.

When my tears dripped to the hand of the man who covers my mouth, the way he holds my mouth get loose then I felt a faint whisper that gave electricity to my whole body.

"Elle.”

I couldn't deny who owns that voice anymore. I don't need to guess who it is because that voice lingers in my head for how many years. I very well know who owns it. Life has not been good to me so does fate. It plays with me in unexpected way. Why now? I search and wait for him for how many years. Why now?

I can't be mistake that it is Archer. I don't want to turn to him. I don’t want to cry because I don’t want to know the truth.

My chest tightens. How can I say to him that I have waited for him for sa many years? How can I say that I don't love him anymore.

"Elle.” He faintly whispered to me that sent shivers down my space. I can face him.

But even I don’t want to. I knew I could never escape. He grabbed my arms and turned me to him. But his face was different compared to the last I saw him. I wanted to ask him a lot but I didn’t know where to start.

But instead of prioritizing the question him. I quickly pushed him out the door for fear that Logan would suddenly enter here. It is not good to Logan see us in this state. I saw that astonishment in his eyes because of what I did.

“Get out of here! I'm begging you! No one is allowed to see you! Logan can't see you! Leave here Archer! I forgot you for a long time! It has been long time since I ended up hoping you’ll come back. Please, don't torture me anymore. I don't want to lose the happiness I have now, Archer.” I was still pushing him out as tears flowed into my eyes. He was holding my arm and he didn't want to let me go and he was obviously confused by what I was doing.

“Elle, you need to come back to me. Weren't we happy then? Do not you love me anymore?"

“I will not come here if you are still the one I am still longing. It's been a long time. It has passed and only the past.” I don't know what else I can do to him. I can't do this. I don’t want Logan to throw me.

“Why Elle? Why don't you come back to me? You know that Logan will not do you any good. He has many opponents and you will only be cope in the wars that will happen..You will be ruined. I'm here again. I am alive again. Why don't you come back?” His voice was almost begging but I just kept shaking.

"Get out. You already know what my answer is. I will not leave this room no matter what else you say. Archer, I'm happy. I'm glad you're back but I don't need you like before.”

"Elle."

I heard a series of steps of the guards so my eyes quickly widened and pushed him away. He would have grabbed me but I managed to shut it down. I leaned against the door as warm tears trickled down my eyes.

"Sorry, Archer." I was sobbing as I ran to the window and saw that Logan was coming.

I don't know how fast my heart is beating. All I knew was that I didn’t want Logan and Archer to meet because I knew what was going to happen.
