"You are so stubborn you can't simply understand my words" he claimed

"Oh now I am at fault?"

"I am so sorry if I can't deal with a problem that is yours"

"She is not my problem or yours-"

"She is your problem... Your ex-girlfriend. Deal with her"

"I don't even know why she appeared"

"Because she was with you"

"She wasn't"

"At least if you're going to cheat, cheat in a smart way"

"I did not cheat!"

"Why the hell she appeared with your coat? And a bouquet of flowers?"

"I don't know how she got my coat and the flowers-" he looked over and the white Camellias on the kitchen counter, he gulped and bowed his head down not ready to tell me or explain me, or give me a small detail.

He could just say, it's because of my long lost love, or my hamster who died, someone important, something I didn't get, something I lost! I don't need to know the whole thing I just want something good enough to tell Sarah I know.

I am his god damn wife and that woman knows more about him than I do. I am an actress on this marriage but if I am doing it I am doing it right and thanks to Blaze here I am failing miserably. Our luck is that Sarah is dumb and full of herself otherwise she would have doubt our marriage.

"You don't know anything do you?"

"You are not listening to me" he said while following me through the house "I don't know why she was here, why she claims to tell you she knows about my life, and why she borough the coat. But I am telling I was not with her that day!"

"You don't know why she comes here? Do you want me to draw a picture explaining it to you?" I said sarcastically "how dumb can you be? She does this because she clearly has unresolved feelings for you but that's not my problem... my problem is if she stops being stupid for a day and joins one and one and finds out it equals two meaning our marriage is fake"

"She does not like me she is married to my brother... and she won't find out, it's impossible"

"Marrying your brother will make her not have feelings for you? Wake up Blaze! She wanted so bad for you to be at their wedding maybe in hopes you would say something at the 'speak something or forever hold your peace' part." I said thinking of the amount of requests for us to be present "she won't find out because she is way to busy thinking she is superior than me, your own wife. As long as she thinks I don't really know you she will be happy but eventually that happiness won't satiate for long"

"She does not have any feelings for me because she traded me for my own brother" he explained. Well that's new, Sarah clearly as still feelings for Blaze, if she doesn't, why would she dedicate her life on torturing me and him? Trading Blaze for Damien can purely mean nothing I have noticed she is a bit cuckoo...

"That doesn't matter... Why would she be so interested in making you go to the freaking wedding and telling me how I don't know you over and over again? Join the dots Blaze!" I said in an obvious tone

"She won't find about us and she doesn't like me" he stated

"Whatever it makes you happy. But you're being the stubborn one here... You can't see the facts"

"There's no facts and she won't be a problem anymore. "

"Really how are you going to do that? Are going on a romantic escape with her? Because that way she would be so happy she could actually forget our clear fake weeding!" I fired back

"She is not a problem stop claiming her as one"

"Yeah? Then what the hell do you call to someone who comes to my house out of the blue?! "

"It's my house"

"Our house! Like it or not it's also mine! Because I was obligated to marry you if you haven't noticed yet"

"This-"

"No! Let me speak!" I exclaimed clearly mad " like it or not you made me marry you! So I did! But if I am doing this we better do it right and with no suspicions. I have put 3 years of my life on hold for you and my father and your stupid little playground fights. I accepted to this on the right terms and conditions and those are not it! I have never agreed to make a fool of myself in front of no one because of you and I have undoubtedly never signed under the terms of dealing with your wacky of an ex-girlfriend!" I said trying to catch my breath

"You're right I never signed under the terms to deal with you and your instant moods either but look where we stand"

"Oh really? Great because I never signed to deal with your drunk ass!"

"Great! That makes two of us!"

"Great!" I shouted frustrated

"Wonderful!" he said in a careless tone while walking to me

"Fantastic!" I said back while watching his body come close to mine

"Amazing!" he said with his eyebrows furrowed together still angry at me

"Awesome!" I exclaimed once his breath was reaching my face, his head was tilted down due to our height difference and for some reason my chest was tighten,and a weird feeling on my stomach too maybe it was my frustration for him that was starting to get physical

We stood there for some good minutes, I think, looking at each other I don't know if we were still angry or not. I couldn't understand what was happening but I felt the weird tension between our bodies and how hard it was to breathe.

Whatever was happening we didn't have the time to find out because seconds later our bodies instantly moved away from each other as the sound of the elevator doors opened.

"Good morning! Happy new year" Dorothy cheered

"Eleonora? Ell? Ell? Hello? Earth to Ell?" I heard Jenny, she woke me up from my memories

"Hey sorry" I said looking at her leaning over the door frame of my office

"Is everything all right?" she questioned worried

"Yeah I guess" I said taking a look at the files over my desk wondering what was I doing

"Dont forget that document for Blaze to finish at the end of the week so we can start the project" she reminded me. Oh right thank God she is my assitant

"How was yesterday shopping with my mom?" I questioned

"She's way more fun than her daughter" she joked

"Ah thanks" I gave a weak smile

"Hey uh-" she started closing the door behind her "I know we should never get between a man and his wife but you're my bestfriend" she said sitting down at the chair in front of my desk " and I hate to see you like this"

"Oh thanks Jen but I am fine"

"Really? This whole week Connor as been texting me of how weird Blaze has been"

"You and Connor talk?" I questioned curiously

"Not the point" she stated " Blazehas been about two days on the same thing and he can't get it done. Connor says he gets late to his appointments and h misspells stuff, like important stuff. Connor claims he was never like this, he is way moodier than he uses to be and he has been trying to call Mr.Brocotta but failed miserably, Conor doesn't know why. "

"Well that's his problem" I said not showing to care with Blaze's problems and changes although I couldn't lie that if those changes were because of me I couldn't help but to smile

"Well problem or not he has canceled all of his reunions these past days to have a lunch with Mrs.Boris"

"Well she is the only person that can handle him"

"I know you guys are in a fight... I mean everyone in this building as realized that, your fight has changed the office environment. It's scary out there" she explained

"How so?"

"Well everyone has made 101 theories on why are you guys fighting. There are people saying he cheated on you and others say you are going to divorce."

"What? People are so-" I took a deep breath while touching my head in frustration "we are not going to divorce"

"Really? Oh that's great girl I was so scared because you can't find better than that" she cheered happily

"I am going to review this document so Blaze can sign it. I will go upstairs myself to see what is going on with him" I said leaving Jennifer more relaxed. I smiled at her breath of relief she was a good friend worrying about my marriage, fake marriage that she didn't know yet I felt like she really cared and loved me. It's good to have someone like her in my life.

"Ok that is wonderful. Go fix things with your man. I believe in you" she said taking a candy out of the jar and walking away from my office.

after lunch, and after my review, I placed everything ready for me to go upstairs with a weird feeling on my chest of seeing him and still mad at him I clicked on the button of the elevator .

There was this odd sensation on my body. I was still pretty angry at him the last time we saw each other and talked to each other without harshly bickering that day.

it was weird to say the least I was about to see him, and I was so mad at him and on top of it, all I was about to request him to do something for me which I'm sure knowing him he would take advantage of i and would tease me about it .

but I have to relax and think this is going to be a purely professional talk. I'm going to hand it over the document. Ask him to sign it up and tell him if he's okay because I heard he's not that good which I don't really care

I mean, he has been such a pain in my ass after that awful and ugly fight well, he has been a pain in my ass even before I married him with those stupid manners and date of his.

'C'mon Eleonora deep breaths. This man makes you go crazy and irrational but you can deal with him. There's nothing you can't dealt with'

After reassuring myself I realized I had already got in the elevator and I was on the top floor. I got out making everyone whisper and murmur once they saw me.

"Good afternoon Mrs.Maxwell" Lisa greeted

"Hi Lisa"

"How are you feeling?" she asked in an empathetic way

"Good"

"Please, You don't have to lie Mrs.Maxwell we are all on your side we know how Mr.Maxwell can be sometimes"

"Yeah..."

"He will on your court side" she replied with a sad face

"Court?"

"We will be on your side of the court"

"Lisa we are not getting a divorce"

"That's what they all say" she commented "I don't blame you Miss. We all know Blaze, it was so unexpected when he first heard he was going marry... 8 months with him.as surely been a victory, I wonder how you were capable of so much"

I shook my head trying to believe in Lisa's words and trying also to find a way that she would understand that we were not getting a divorce.

Blaze can be a lot of things but he would never get a divorce, our marriage is way to important for him to throw away just like that. He has earned a lot of wins with our marriage and he could never abdicated of them plus... He is way too proud for that.

"Lisa... We are not getting a divorce" I said trying to walk away from there

"I believe in you Miss" she said lifting her fist up in a signal of giving me strength

"Great..." I left the quickest I could passing through the murmurs once I saw his office I got in without letting Connor say anything in advance before I could walk in.

"Blaze I need you to sign me this" I said shaking the paper on my hand.

Nothing...

I strange the silent in the room and when I took a look around he was nowhere in sight. I frowned my eyebrows not understanding what was happening. I left his office walking to Connor's desk.

"Connor!" I exclaimed caughting the man's attention "where is he?"

"I don't know miss?"

"You don't know?" I asked making him nod a no with his head "how do you not know where he is? You are his assistant. You know everywhere he goes, everything he eats, where he has to be and where he hasn't you even know his shoe size and his favorite tie... Where is he, Connor?" I asked. Connor was probably lying how could an obsessed assistant like Connor not know about Blaze? He knew every move Blaze gave, how the hell did he know about Blaze?!

"I don't know Mrs.Maxwell. He told me to go for lunch and when I came back he wasn't here" he explained grabbing his phone "I have called him 103 times, I have emailed 57 times, I have called his bodyguards, and I have called all of his possible meetings or people he could be with. No one knows about Mr.Maxwell." he showed me his phone proving his missed calls and sent emails

"You have no idea where he is?" I questioned making him nod his head again

I growled frustrated "I need him to sign this! He decides to disappear when I need him? Argh he is just begging for me to kill him"

I looked at Connor and his shrunken position joined with his eyes of fear looking at me. I straighten up and gave him a smile "thanks"

"No welcome Mrs.Maxwell" he said in fear

I walked to the middle of the office and clapped my hands caught in every ones attentions "Good afternoon people! Does anyone here knows where Mr.Maxwell is?" I questioned loudly at the top of my lungs. Everyone seemed to be scared of me "ANYONE!?"  I shouted making a small woman rise her hand

"Yes Virginia!" I exclaimed happily she was the one who love my idea of the Francesco wine collection

"I don't know if it helps but he asked me where the closest oganic supermarket was" she said a but scared

"Great that's great. Thanks Virginia. Anyone else?" I asked and a small man raised his hand too

"Yes?"

"He asked if we had a stock of new collection of Bourbon wine" the man said while another man raised his hand right away

"He asked me if I could review how much we were spending on the expeditions of the wine"

"Oh oh he asked me if I could make a report about Boris Bags"

"Oh he asked me to send a crew of food inspectors to the Mancini!"

"Ok people!" I said making them stop "That's not- that's not helpful at all but thanks you for you time. You can- just go back to what you were doing"

"Yes Mrs.Maxwell" they said in unison. I frowned at the weird moment and left the place ready to come back to my dear department and office.

But still thinking where the hell was Blaze.
