Epilogue: You Never Were The Daddy, Because I Never Was The Sugar (1,8K)

A few months after she stopped having any sort of contact with Christian, Ana found herself waiting for Elliott in her apartment. Though it was only February and she still had a couple of more months to wait to go to London, she was almost all set up. Jose had agreed to keep in his flat all the things she knew she couldn't take to the UK with her. So now, her flat mostly consisted of boxes and items spread out.

The first box she had packed was a collection of all the items Christian had bought for her during the time of their contract. In fact, they have taken several boxes. And at first, she had wanted to send them back to him. But after the flower fiasco, she realised that it would be useless.

A couple of days after their argument, Christian had sent a hundred of red and white roses to Raymond's office where she worked. Everyone had wooed at her, and she had never felt so uncomfortable in her life. And to make it even more, there had been no notes with it, just a business card of Grey Enterprises that allowed her to know that Christian had only asked Kaelie to order the flower for him. The poor girl probably didn't even know what they were for.

So, though she stopped using anything that Christian had bought for her, she kept them in boxes. It was when it came to the money that she became conflicted. For a moment, she had been unsure of what to do with all that money she had put aside over the months. It had always been there in case of a rainy day, but now it acted more as a sad reminder of what happened with Christian. So she made the decision that when she would move to the UK, she would donate the money to a charity that would call to her heart. After all, her rainy days were behind her now.

A small knock on her door brought her back to the present moment, and she went to open the door to Elliott. She had told him that she would understand if he no longer wanted to contact her, but Elliott had insisted that it wasn't weird for him and that his boys loved her too much for him let them lose yet another mother figure.

"I brought wine," He boasted, showing a bottle of merlot, and she beamed at him, taking the bottle and walking him to her kitchen. She watched him look around with an interested eye as she poured them each a glass, and she asked about the kids.

"Well, Julian can't shut up about you leaving to leave in the same country as harry potter. He's sure you're going to become an Auror or something. Jason is trying to change our yearly Sydney vacations to London vacations. As if I would ever trade the sun for rainy clouds."

"Aren't you supposed to be more concerned about him seeing his grandparents?"

"Potato, potato. All of this to say, no one is happy to see you leave," Elliott said, taking the glass of wine, his eyes still looking around since the kitchen was an open space.

"Are you here to try and dissuade me?"

"Me? No. I'm the one who told Christian to stop being a jackass about it, and just let you go and accomplish your dreams."

For a moment, Ana didn't say a word. Christian had become a sort of a taboo over the past few months. She wasn't petty or arrogant enough to pretend that she was completely blameless in the fall of what they had. After all, she should have told him earlier her feelings for him. In fact, as soon as she knew she was starting to fall for him. And she should have been more vocal about how she was not always happy with the way he treated her.

But her flaws did not erase Christian's. The biggest one, and the one that made her so angry for so long was the fact that Christian had made research about her, and had the audacity to pretend otherwise, asking about her as if he didn't already everything there was to know about her life. There was also the loophole that Christian had purposely planted in the contract. For many nights, she recalled Christian's first reaction when she had told him that he would need to add that clause about them having sex. Now, in retrospect, she knew that it was the businessman in him that had been trying to find the best way to word the contract, so he could gain some advantage out of it.

But more than that, there was the fact that they were not compatibles. There was no point in them reconnecting when their ultimate life goals were so different. It was more than the fact that she couldn't stop feeling like there was a stain on her now, and that she had been a whore. Sure, he might have thought he loved her, but in the end, he still paid her. She didn't care what the contract said, she was sure of one thing, people in love did not pay their significant other for sex.

With a deep breath, she snapped out of her thoughts of Christian, and asked,

"Do I have to guess that you are here on his behalf?"

"Sort of. To be honest, he has no idea that I am here."

She scoffed, sure that Christian was compiling another file on her, or maybe this time, he asked his goons to make a file about his brother. Elliott rolled his eyes, and condescendingly told her,

"You seem to have forgotten that it is Valentine's Day today. Christian would never let me see you on such a romantic day."

"Elliott …. I don't want to talk about your brother with you," She told him, mostly because she didn't want to cry in front of him, and she had realised that tears easily came to her when it came to Christian. In fact, she had to hide in the bathroom when Christian sent all those flowers to her workplace.

"Ana … he's not the same since you guys have broken up. He's … find himself a new friend to replace you, and it's not the kind of company anyone would wish on someone they love."

She cleared her throat to prevent herself from crying and showing that she was affected by the fact that Christian had so easily replaced her. Sure, that new friend seemed to be a bad influence, but still.

"I have no say in what your brother does, Elliott. I actually never did. And … I can only wish him happiness with this new friend of his."

Elliott brows slightly furrowed, and she sipped on her glass just to avert her eyes from him, otherwise, she knew she would cry.

"It's the bottle." She looked back up, surprised by this statement. Christian had never shied away from alcohol, but he had always known his limits when it came to it. And though he had used it a couple of times to comfort himself, Ana never pictured Christian as someone who would lose his control for the comfort of a bottle of whiskey.

"It's nothing drastic, yet. But I haven't seen Christian spend a single day without drinking since you guys split up."

She shook her head, refusing to hear those words, "Christian would never fall into that. Sports, maybe, workaholism, probably, but Christian would never let himself fall into alcoholism, no matter what."

"Look, I know it's not my business what happened between the two of you, but … he's not listening to me. I told him time and time again to come to you, but he refuses. So I'm asking you because I'm hoping you'll be less stubborn than him. Come for his birthday.

It's going to be a small affair. Just us, and the kids. I'm asking for a reunion or anything, I just want the two of you to talk, just so he can have proper closure, and stop this descent to hell before it becomes irreversible. Please."

She looked down on her knees, playing with her fingers. she would lie to herself if she pretended she didn't want to see Christian one last time before going to London. As Elliott said, just for closure. Maybe it was what they both needed to move on. And maybe, after having a calm conversation in which none of them would be speaking out of raw feelings, but rather out of their minds, then, maybe they could still remain friends. Maybe she could also convince him that alcohol was not the solution for either of them.

Maybe her going to London would not necessarily mean it was the end of her relationship with Christian.

"I will come. Just for the day. I could even make the cake if you want."

💚Your thoughts and opinions are always welcomed💚

💚If you're reading this for the first time, what did you think? And if it's the second time around, what do you think?

💚 So, this is the end of THE FIRST PART. I think it is pretty obvious that there is a sequel. I mean, I have been hinting at it with that Christian's PoV. I did mention several times that it was coming and that it would be when you would least expect it, haha. I know, I'm evil, you're used to it now. I know you're all hating me because the first part ends on such a sour note, but it was always the point. As some of you have pointed out, they still need to develop as character/people, and that's what the second part is for. Besides, if you know me and my other stories, you know I don't know how to write short stories (even though this one is over 150K)

💚What do you think the second part will be called? If you can guess it, you can have a surprise 😉 And when shall I update it? Maybe I should pause a little in between.

💚 I'm always curious about your favourite part, and what you think will happen next, so let me know.
