(Seven years later, Present day.)

Elena's P.O.V

"Don't worry Senator Baratheon." Elena did her best to assure her client. "My firm will make sure your son's upcoming nuptials will get positive publicity."

"I hope you are right Mrs Salvatore, and I really hope that you will give your hundred percent best on this job." He warned her but Elena didn't flinch at his tone. "It's not just my son's wedding but also a chance to get my family on positive limelight. I don't want any bad publicity to reduce my chances of becoming President."

Elena understands where this all is going. He is using his son's wedding to gain public attention and she also knows that having this wedding this near prior Elections will give him and his family additional publicity that will do him great favour during Elections.

"Also make sure that my son and his fiancée will be the talk of the town." His wife Cersei speak up with her honey-sweet voice that Elena thought she often used to get her work done. "I want them to be seen together in as many events as possible."

After that, it was painful hours where Elena heard as they both drone on and on about everything that she was going to do anyway.

To her horror, she realized that the upcoming few months will be a complete media circus, The circus where she is going to work day and night.

Rubbing her neck she tried to take a calming breath before mustering huge polite smile. "Don't you worry at all. I can assure you that this will be a wedding that people will never forget."

Once her clients looked satisfied she was given a black file. "This is a security agency that we selected for our son's and his bride protection. I want you to have a meeting with them so you can sort protection and protocol procedures." Senator instruct her and then with a firm nod left with his guards, leaving her with his wife who seems to be waiting to be alone with her.

"Here Mrs Salvatore." She hands him the red file. "In this file, you will get every detail about my future Daughter in law."

The last words were said with a hint of distaste but Elena ignores her and stayed neutral.

"I want you to take special care for her, she used to be a quite trouble maker in past before she met my sweet innocent boy. If you see this file you will see that she will be a real challenge for you and your firm."

She then slowly made her way towards the door but before she left she gave Elena a warning. "You were hired for positive publicity and my daughter in law was the star of negative publicity."

She gave her evil smirk as she left with snide. "Best of luck, you will surely need it."

Once she was alone she collapses and starts rethinking about her decision to take this project. She almost wanted to get away from these vile people but then she remembers why she needed this project in the first place.

So gathering her strength Elena stood up and left the office.

Once she was in her car she found out several missed calls from her husband, eight missed calls from her mom and ten from both Caroline and Bonnie.

"Danmmit! Driver! Take me home and drive fast please."

She tried to undo her bun and finger comb her hair, then opening her purse she tried to apply lipstick as best she could without smearing it.

Soon she was outside her home and she all but rushed inside.

"Sorry everybody I am..." Her feet flatter because in front of her she can see decorations and four-tier cake in middle with huge Happy Birthday Elena banner behind on the wall.

It was beautifully decorated clearly for her birthday party but what lack now is guests.

Only people remain were her parents, in-laws who were staring at her with both anger and a hint of disappointment while Stefan her brother in law and his wife and one of her best friend Caroline looked clearly sad as they all watch her enter.

"You are late, all guest left hours ago." Her mother informs her coldly as she stood up.

"Marinda." Lilly Salvatore stopped her mother before she can lash out. Patting her mom back Lily walked towards her and laid a kiss on her forehead. "Happy Birthday Elena. I wish this year brings you all the happiness you ever wished for."

Her father in law then joined them and gave her a kind smile. "Happy Birthday dear."

She felt so ashamed but they just smiled at her and then left with goodbyes.

After they were gone her mom left without wishing or saying anything to her and before she can stop her she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Let her go sweetheart." Her father gently advises her. "I am sure she will call you once her anger will disappear."

She can see through his lie but her father gave her a hug and wished her birthday before following after his wife.

By the time she turned to face Stefan and Caroline, they also were preparing to leave. "Guys." She began but Caroline raised her hand to stop her. "Save your apologies Elena and go to your husband because it's him you hurt most."

She also left and as Stefan follow her he turned to face her. "Damon is upstairs waiting for you."

She was then left alone feeling every bit awful and dreaded to face one person who she loves and yet hurt most.

As she enters her room she can see many of the happy moments in the form of pictures on the wall.

These pictures seem like they belong to different people because she knows that she is not that girl anymore. She won't know what changed in her or maybe she knew but she didn't want to acknowledge that because then she will feel sorry for herself, for her husband and their marriage.

Tears clouded her vision and she wiped them away but in doing so she finally saw a movement, her husband was standing near the window with his back facing her.

"Damon." She called his name hoping he won't hear her but then he turns to face her.

Dressed in a dark blue shirt and black pants, he looked breathtakingly handsome.

Once she was able to tear her eyes from his beautiful face she saw a neat gift box in his hand.

She wanted to beg for his forgiveness or for him to lash out or scream at her but he watched her quietly while Elena gesture at the gift. " Is that for me."

He raised his eyebrows and she felt so stupid for asking him about gift after what she just did.

She was sure her husband will snap now but he instead walked towards her until he was standing right in front of her.

She flinched and prepared herself for worst but then he leans in and kisses her cheeks. "Happy birthday baby."

Elena felt her eyes widened but she couldn't detect a single emotion she felt downstairs, instead, all she saw was love for herself in his eyes which makes her feel even more worse than ever.

"Why are you not angry with me? I ruined the party, I ruined everyone plans, I even ruined our marriage!"

She didn't care she was screaming but her husband remains calm and composed as he cupped her cheeks wiping her tears away. "You didn't ruin anything." He assured her and before she knew it she was crying in his embrace while he gently stroke her hair.

"Why are you comforting me? You should be screaming at me."

She felt him sigh and then he kissed her head. "I was sad and every bit angry at you, that's why I was first to leave that party."

He then pulls away so she can see in his eyes. "It took me an hour to calm down, then next hour to think and finally last hour to make a decision."

She closed her eyes because she was afraid to know his decision of leaving her. "So what did you decide?" She finally asks while bracing herself to hear those dreaded but inevitable words.

"I have decided to get my Elena back." Her eyes snapped open in shock. "I will find that women I married seven years ago and this time when I found her, I won't let destiny or pain take her away from me."

She was speechless as her husband tossed the gift box in the air before catching it back. "I have bought this gift for my wife and I will give it once I got her back and that's why I am not angry with you any more."

With a wink, he went and laid down on their bed closing his side lamp and as she changes her nightgown and laid on her side she couldn't help but wonder, how can he bring her back when she lost herself years ago?
