blueyy

I have been broken, I barely managed to move on, so why now Ethan? taking a deep breath before I continued making sure my voice doesn’t break. You know what, I don’t think I want to know anymore, whatever your reason was, you did what you did and I felt what I felt so please let’s not …, stop trying to walk back into my life and pretend you care
Jane I just…
No! Ethan not today, I don’t want to hear it. Let’s leave it as it is, I turn and leave him without sparring him a glance repeatedly telling myself its for the best, we have nothing to do with each other but the agony I feel is just as worse as the first time he left only I am the one leaving this time.

what broke us?

I can't believe you were blackmailed into dating her.

It wasn't blackmail, it was bond to happen one way or another she just made it easier for the both of us.

She cries, you bring her home, she cries you start dating her what happens next time she cries, give her your real estate? Dante taunted

No! Christ, what is wrong with men in love. What I am trying to say is don't let her fool you, she might be after your money or your family. You can never be too care and please take it slow, both of you.

Yes father, I will take your advice.

Oh shut up, Dante added. I hope she breaks your heart.

Are you perhaps jealous dear cousin that I wont be spending time with you.

don't say another word, Dante pretended to be puking. oh, before I forget I discovered how many more paintings we need to collect for the series to complete and I have already allocated one should be here tonight.

With the help of little Sponge Bob, she has quite an insight on the series. Dante added.

Yes, she apparently is a journalist so keeping her close will be of great benefit as well, I will be heading out now got a girl to win back. He said and left.

I have been undeniably obsessed with the " new beginning" series just like my mother was. Her best friend who an artist specifically made the series for her, I would watch her rearrange the paints every now and then making other painting from the reassembled series than put them back in order and make a portrait of herself but after some years she started giving them out till there was only one painting left and she later died. I have been recollecting them again. which is why when Martin had said Mary Jane' full names It only deepened my curiosity about her even though I found nothing related to the artist Mary Jane I still wanted to keep her close.

Can I come in? Jane asked poking her little head through the door.

Yes sure come in, have you gotten tired of the library?

M? Never, she said walking to ward my couch across the room and making herself comfortable. I can live in there all my life.

But your family owns a book store and a library.

Its different, of course their library is bigger but this one here is my favourite.

I am glad you like it. Do you want to do anything today?

We can stay home and do nothing, she said smiling at me.

You don't really like people, do you?

. I do like people I just prefer to be away from them, she explained even though I already know how she spends her day, work, studio and her room.

I can take you down to my studio. I suggested

We have Auction sells on the last day of the month to accommodate the new paintings coming through.

No, Dante will over see the process and my employees are very competent.

As expected from the Ethan Miller. she said. Can we go when its not crowded?

Yes, we can, I say looking back at her. still haven't figured out why I like her. you can make yourself comfortable I just have a few papers I need to sign and a meeting then we can make some food together

9. Ethan.
