Chapter 49
“Mimi, you can’t tell anyone. Not even my mum.”
Mimi looked at her with genuine surprise, her eyes were gleaming with curiosity.
She leaned in and put her hand over her heart. “When do I ever tell people things you tell me? Bitch, I promise. Now spill. My ear is scratching me.”
They were holed up in a cozy little cafe. Tucked away on a quiet street. It was close to Mimi’s place and far from Marcus’s penthouse. Elara needed that distance. Needed space to breathe without feeling like he was watching her.
Without remembering the way his hands had felt on her skin two nights ago.
She couldn’t stop thinking about it. The kiss. Him fingering her pussy and eating her out like a starving man. Those scenes were stuck in her memory now. Playing on repeat every time she closed her eyes. Every time she let her guard down.
She knew how she was feeling. She wasn’t stupid. But she kept telling herself it was nothing. Just the heat of the moment. You know, just physical attraction. She felt this way because she hadn’t had sex in a long time. Maybe if they had proper sex, full sex, she’d stop feeling this way about him. Get it out of her system.
That made sense. Right? Yes Sex is the way forward.
“Okay,” Elara started. Took a sip of her coffee to buy time.
“You remember I told you Luca stole the money I was saving for Mum’s bills?”
“Yes.” Mimi leaned forward. “Has he been arrested? Regardless, he’s your father. I swear to God when I see him I’ll spank him myself and call the police on him.”
“Mimi, chilax.”
Mimi had always been the fiery one between the two of them. Elara was more love and light. Peace and understanding. Mimi was the where is it happening, gun or knife type. Ready to fight at any moment.
“What I didn’t tell you was why I married Marcus.”
Mimi’s eyes went wide. “Oka, go on.”
Elara told her everything. About the contract. How it came right after Luca stole the money. The terms. Two years. Two million dollars. The public appearances. The fake marriage. The whole drama. How her mum still didn’t know any of it.
Anyways, I never was worried about Luca catching on, if you shake that man’s head, you’ll hear the sound of liquid, alcohol has taken up the best part of his brain. I wonder how he even gave birth to me.
Although he suspected, he just thought I was sleeping with men for money, that’s what he always says.
Mimi sat there listening. Eyes getting wider with each detail and revelation. When Elara finally finished, she just sat back in her chair and stared.

Chapter 49
“Well, damn. What a hell of a story.” She shook her head.
“I hear you. I understand why you did what you did. But wait oh, babes.”
Whenever Mimi said wait oh, you just knew she was about to fire at you. Elara adjusted in her seat as she raced herself for what came next.
“So this boss of yours. He’s the devil himself, yes?”
“Yes.”
“He’s cold and nonchalant and treats you like garbage?”
“Yes. Exactly.”
“But the way you described him and the contract and your trip to Santorini, you didn’t sound like you hated him that much.” Mimi gave her that look. The one that said I see right through you.
“Stop it. Stop it.” Elara felt herself getting shy. Heat creeping up her neck. “I mean, I hate him but-”
“But what?” Mimi leaned forward. Eyes sparkling with mischief. “Hmm, Elara?”
They were both laughing now. Loud laughs that made other people in the cafe turn and look.
“Anyways, I know you’ll understand,” Elara said when she caught her breath.
“Of course I will.” Mimi reached across the table and squeezed her hand. “You’re my best friend. You have one of the biggest hearts I know. But hopefully you know this is just business. Just a contract. I mean, falling in love isn’t in your agenda, right?”
Elara snorted. Actually snorted. “Fall in love with Marcus? Have you met him? She rolled her eyes, I mean, he’s sexy and-”
“Seeexxxxxyyyy,” Mimi repeated as she dragged the word. Grinning now.
“Stop.” Elara held up a hand. “Let me finish. He’s handsome and rich and all that. But I doubt that man’ even has a heart, talk more of falling in love with me.”
“But he is sexy though.”
“I mean, objectively, yes.”
Mimi’s voice became sly. Teasing. “Do you mind introducing us? I’ll climb him like a tree. You know I’d die for a sexy man.”
Elara nearly choked on her drink. Coffee went down the wrong pipe. She coughed. Sputtered. “Mimi, stop
it.”
Mimi laughed. “I’m serious. If you’re not using him properly, pass him over.”
“He’s my husband.”
“On paper.”

“Still.”

They both dissolved into laughter again. Other patrons were definitely staring now. But they didn’t care, she had missed talking and having her best friend over.
When they finally calmed down, Mimi wiped the tears that were in her eyes just from laughing. It was always this chaotic whenever they were together, especially after a very long time apart. She took a sip of her own coffee.
Then she looked at Elara with a more serious expression.
“So you two haven’t, you know…” She made a suggestive gesture with her hands.
Erhmmm, I left out two tiny details, Elara replied with her eyes widened as she blushed.
Bitch what the fuck, I want the full description if you guys have done the do, the size, the sound you made. Mimi said, sitting back in her seat.
No, stop ewww, disgusting, go away.
When it comes to talking about sex?, that’s Mimi favourite thing to do.
