Mikhail left Elena's room and returned to his room. His mind was still occupied by thoughts of Elena. He thought that he was beginning to understand her and melting her hatred for him but she was still fighting him despite how close they had gotten.
He smiled recalling the night they spent together, even though she was cold to him. He was happy to know that she was already to let him into her life and maybe even accept him as her husband. He couldn't wait for the day that Elena would be his, body, soul, and mind without anything holding her back.
"What's got you so happy?" Adelaide asked him to enter the room along with their brother Marco.
"Nothing," he replied.
"Well, I have news that will wipe that smile of yours right off your face," she said making him intrigued to hear what she had to say.
