Elise's pov Two more days in LA. That’s all I had left. The two days were oddly quiet in their own suffocating way. I hadn't seen much of Marcus which was both a blessing and a curse. It didn't take a lot of wisdom for me to realize that out of the seven days we had flown here on a “business trip”, four had been for work and the rest? For Marcus to play fiancé with Victoria who was soaking in the glow of her diamond ring with a fake ass smile on her face. Yes I do sound bitter but what else am I supposed to do? Be happy? I had been so stupid not to question why his schedule had more of family time than work. But I did my best to avoid it all and with Olive at my side it was easy. I had mastered the art of avoidance with her help. She was my shield and I loved her even more for it.
