Chapter 1 - Chapter one

A responsible adult I was not, when things got tough I pack my things and ran. My brother who took care of me after we lost our parent supported my decision despite not knowing the reason behind my decision to leave. I left the country and travelled around, I was aware I could do that because of my brother financial capability. Meeting new people across the globe changed my mindset, but deep down I was still that girl who fell in love with the wrong guy. Then six years later after finishing a modeling contract in Spain, I just started feeling this need to be around my big brother, not once did I feel this homesick, but that day the feeling of wanting to go home hit me like a thunder bolt. I didn't just pack my things and bolted again, I called Williams often. Confiding with my brother about this feeling usually had. As I shared my concerns with Williams I could notice how positive he was about me coming back home, my brother just wanted me to come back home, and he wasn't hiding it.

So after six years, I finally arrive back to the city which held so many of my memories. Good ones and bad one, but those memories shaped me to the person I was today.

As the plane landed, and I collected my things which took quite a while, I texted my brother to inform him that I was about leaving the airport, he brought to my notice that he was waiting outside for me, and that I should prepare my self well, because there seem to be chaos there.

Somehow people or better still the press found out in there way that I was coming back to the city, and now there were stalled outside, waiting to catch glimpse of me. The news spread like wild-fire, they acted like it was the hottest news ever, which wasn't. I was aware everyone was speculating about the reason I left the city for long six years, and now they were probably making juicy stories behind my return.

"You know". My assistant Becky started quietly as we walk side-by-side "we could book a flight back, I rather like Seville."

"Oh!" Becky change her mind every two seconds, it was hard to keep up with her interest. "I thought you love New-York"

"Seville grew on me" she casually stated .

I took a glance at my phone, I had no new message from Williams, so I assume he was still out there, waiting for me to meet up with him.

I pocketed my phone, "I haven't done anything worthy to write stories about in a while now, so I don't quite understand why they're making a big deal about this". I glanced at Becky who threw me at an exasperating look.

"Are you not keep up with social media?", she asked me "Williams McDonald's little sister is moving back to the city. She used to be a popular model, who was seen all over the Billboard and magazine cover".

"So it's because of Williams then"

Becky groaned, raising her eyes to the ceiling, "my God, you're living inside your head all the damm time, let's go with that then, shall we?"

I narrowed my eyes at her "Excuse you, I'm the one writing out your checks at the end of the month"

She left off a smirk "you didn't hire me to placate you, Elena"

That was the damm truth, I love her honestly, the fact that she doesn't accept my shit simply because I'm Elena McDonald. Also Becky was a sweet heart when I was not testing her patience, I could trust her, her only thought was what's best for me.

"So true" I smiled at her, "Now let's hurry, I don't want to keep Williams waiting."

Becky snorted "My God, someone has a big brother complex."

"I do have a big brother complex"

Becky eyes widened upon hearing me admitting that without hesitation, "you're supposed to deny that." She sighed, "I worry for you little Ellen"

I grinned at her, "you probably should."

"I'm ignoring that statement, you're after all a responsible adult, capable of taking care of yourself." Becky told me sternly.

"It has been six years Becky"

Unlike me she didn't look that excited being back, "it's been six years" she agreed, "yet it seems like nothing has changed at all."

I narrowed my eye at her, "Everything has changed." I told her.

I wasn't the same helpless girl who clung to her brother and desperately sort the attention of that man. Things were different yet no one knew just how drastic this change in my life were.

Deciding it was time to face reality head on I searched through my bag and grabbed my shades out of its container, shoving them on my nose and straightening my posture. Reaching for the handle of my suitcase, I firmly held onto it and moved forward, holding my chin up high. My shades protected my eyes from my flashing lights, I ignored all the shout because it all blurred together. As I search the crowd I notice a few men heading towards me quickly. Williams security team. What surprised me was Williams followed after them, he reached me within a few seconds a guided me effortlessly through the crowd. I wanted to hug him and tell him how much I missed him, but I couldn't. As I glanced over my shoulder I saw that Becky was also safe, surrounded by Williams abled security men. Williams places his hand on my lower back and pushed me forward, opening the door to the awaiting SUV and made sure I climbed first. The driver took care of my suitcase while Williams climbed after me. Once the door was firmly shut, hiding us from the rest of the world, Williams faced me and flashed me big grin which showed off his Hollywood smile.

"I missed you Ellen"

Smiling I leaned in and wrapped my arm around him "I missed you too"

He wrapped his arms around me as well and held tightly onto me as if he was afraid I'd disappear into the thin air if he didn't.

"I'm not letting you leave on a whim anymore" he warned me.

I didn't leave on a whim, but I could not tell Williams about that. It was one of the many secrets which involve the man.

"I'm not planing on leaving any time soon" I promised him quietly.

Williams tightened his grip on me "every day I worry about you, Ellen. When ever I saw pictures of you online, I kept wondering if you were really safe. If the team I hired to keep you safe actually did their job properly"
