Concealed Love

            Its 11:00 am and as always Ella woke up late again, she sat up lazily by her bedside, she let down her feet and put on her fluffy white slippers wearing a white nightgown. Her walls painted all black with furnitures all white, she step out to her bedroom's balcony and yawn stretching out her hands and rubbing her eyes. Suddenly hearing her stomach growl she walk out of her room in a daze and found that Irene had made breakfast for her before she left. Ella's POV        Aw man, she could have wake me up if she returned last night and she left so early again. Hmm, just because shes a famous actress she doesn't have to work so hard before she collapse, anyway lucky for me i wont have to make breakfast today and Irene has made my favourite, bread with eggs and bacon and its tastier if she make it. Its been so long since i hung out with Iri, she almost never comes back these days and even if she does she leave right away. Today i have no work so ill just check my email n sleep again, than again that all i ever do. Third person's POV             Ella and Irene were best friends and both of them doesn't have any parents or relatives so they live together in a villa on the outskirts of New York city. Irene was taken in by Ella when she was 10 years old, Irene and her parents were going on a vacation but their car fell into the ocean when they tried to avoid crashing into a truck. Ella saw them and jump into the water but her parents were already dead, Irene was in the passenger seat barely breathing luckily she managed to save her and they have been together ever since.  Ella eats her breakfast and went to check her email. Ella could have build a company and do many other stuff but she hates to show herself in public places so she just invest in many successful business as an anonymous, well its also because shes lazy. As she open up her laptop there were two new mail so she opened them, the first one was from Irene, she had to shoot a new movie scene in Japan so she was going there for a month. Ella replied okay, take care and checked the other mail, it was from work and when she opened it she was furious. Her biggest investment was in the Empire company, the best and the most powerful company in the city. She invested as an anonymous but the new CEO of the company summoned to meet every shareholder in person and sign a new contract. Ella's POV            Who does this kid think he is ordering me around and to even call me on my off day, well almost everyday is off day for me. Irene is out of town i can't call her, was it a bad idea for me to introduce her to the filming industry. But when i see how much she loved acting and visiting places i just couldn't help but support her. I can just sell my share but its such a waste besides its time for me to show myself in public, soon ill have no choice but to do so. And so for talking with more than one person and people other than Irene after a long long time, im going to try and present myself as humane as possible.             I put on a red dress which is right down to my knee, black heels and black gloves, put my pitch black hair down with no ornaments on, put on a light red lipstick, took my velvet staff which i take with me wherever I go, I am not lame but i carry it as a habit and for self defense, umm yes, just self defense ... , anyway im satisfied with my look in the mirror. Off i go!             I drove my SUV down the main street and stopped by an old cafe, they serve the best coffee in the world, I know for a fact cause I've been to a lot of places. But man its hot, i hate summer and its getting hotter every summer, damn these humans getting more and more foolish. If they hadn't been so lazy than they could have just fly by practicing martial art instead of creating all this rubbish. Finally i reached Empire company's main building I  parked my car in the garage and entered from the main entrance, people gave me strange looks or that is what it seem like to me but i learnt not to care. I took the elevator and straight away went up the top floor.              As i was about to go out of the elevator i bump into a wall " Who are you and why are you here", the wall spoke, as i look up it was not a wall but someone, a person, a man, i look up to him and stammered " you, why are you....You can't be here...I didn't count the years wrong... I..... I". I still have one more year, one more, but why is he here, why now?... What went wrong? Before i could think any further he interrupted "What are you mumbling about, answer my question. What are you doing here". Ah, i forget he wont remember me anymore, i kept calm and answered him in a low voice" Oh! Im Ella and i was umm... called here for the board meeting". As i said that a man popped out from behind him and said " Miss Ella, the meeting is on the 10th floor, this is the 11th and this is Mr. Aldrich Salvatore the new CEO, we are going there as well, please join us." I just nodded and mumbled a 'Thank you'.            I walk behind them and looked at Al wondering if it's really him, he still have the same name, the same face, the same aura, the perfect body and yes the straight face, as soon as i thought that our eyes met and he gave me a small smile, just then the heart which i though was dead skipped a beat and i knew it without a doubt Aldrich, the person i had always loved is in front of me again. But him being here is not a very good sign, the prophecy can't be wrong as it was that man's last words, that means something or someone has altered the time if not has he appeared as a warning from the heavens? I halt my thoughts as we stood in front of the door.           We entered the room and everyone was waiting, I took my seat and the meeting started. Suddenly a girl opened the door and walk in, she said in a very sweet voice " Sorry i'm late, i came here as soon as i flew in from England, please pardon me" the man from before told her " That's okay Mrs. Min, please take your seat". She was smiling ever so brightly but i was lost for words, I looked up to her and realised everything has started again. The fate of that tragedy is once again put in motion, blood will be spilled and lives will be lost but this time i wont let it be the same again this time, i will be the one to save you, my eternal love. ********* A/N: Ahem!
