Chapter 1

While Elle and Paul share a coffee together, Paul begins to wonder about his daughter's future. "Elle, you've sacrificed so much for this

family. You're resignation from Lasiters shows that." "Dad, I didn't do this just for you and Oliver." Began Elle. "When I first moved

here to be with you I only began working in Lasiters to help build our relationship, and well, I've already achieved that." Paul smiled

and nodded his head in agreement. "But, I am still young, with a whole lot of experience under my belt. Finding a new career path will

be easy! Besides, I need the break. A lot has happened in such a short space of time. First you and the surgery, and then my

relationship with Oliver falling through the cracks…" Elle shook her head in disbelief for a moment. "I really thought I'd spend the rest

of my life with him Dad" She said regretfully. "Besides him, the only other man I ever loved was Dylan." "Dylan?" Inquired Paul,

forgetting the man he once called his 'son'. "Don't worry dad, he's no one, just some guy who broke my heart. Maybe I should just

become one of those women that marry their careers!" "Oh Elle!" Paul began, squeezing the shoulder of his daughter affectionately.

"No body knows what is around the corner. You'll soon figure it out."
