His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21

I felt like I was about to face a beast. I pulled on a straight face as I turned to face the gentlemen in the

room.

Michael was amused about this whole thing. He always looked so proud, that man. Jace looked worried while the CEO was fuming with anger.

“Who was that?” he all but growled, taking menacing steps towards me. I stood my ground.

“It was a personal call, sir,” I sniggered, emphasizing sir.

“Love,” he warned, his sterling gray eyes flashing as he released a dangerous aura. 1

“Do you ask all your employees about their calls?” I questioned, raising an eyebrow. He swallowed, looking aggravated. I know we needed to talk. If we were going to see each other, we had to talk about what happened five years ago, but I was dreading it.

Ellis‘ chest was rising and falling. I smiled, “Please excuse me, I have work to finish,”

I walked away, but Michael called.

“Are we celebrating tonight?”

No, it’s inappropriate to do that with my bosses. I’m merely a manager of my department,” I told him,

Come on, Lovie, don’t be a bore,” Jace groaned. I smiled at him gently,

Oh, I’m not. I have other plans tonight,” I winked suggestively and left the room. The roar that resounded from the office made the employees in the common area jump in fear. They continued, and then a loud bang was heard, and all the employees‘ eyes turned to me.

“What? Get back to work,” I barked, annoyed at them. They enjoyed gossiping about people’s lives.

Ellis had a dominating aura all day, so no one worked properly as their inner counterparts were oppressed. I, on the other hand, wasn’t affected. I was an alpha myself. It got better when he left the office angrily. I was smiling and in a good mood. After a long day at work, I was ready to go home and see my little monsters, but as I reached my car, I saw Lilac in front of my car. I should have seen this coming. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her lower lips were quivering.

“five fucking years, Love, five years!” she burst into tears. I opened my arms wide for her, but she turned

her back on me.

“I’m sorry,” I said as I walked to her… and hugged her from behind.

“I missed you,” I said. She turned and hugged me tightly, crying in my arms. I comforted her until all the anger was gone from her heart.

“Forget five years, you’ve been back for a month and didn’t bother to call me!” she exclaimed, now this is the anger I liked, not the sobbing one.

* I’m sorry, Bestie. I was going to,” I told her.

Lilac dragged me to a nearby pub as she insisted. We were talking and giggling about what had been happening in our lives. However, I haven’t mentioned the twins yet.

Lilac got a degree in fine arts and is working at a

famous museum in the City. Jace proposed marriage to her earlier this year and gave her a diamond ring. However, her eyes held sadness and pain I never noticed earlier as we were too engrossed in our stories. I held her hand gently. She shook her head as if wanting to forget a painful memory and then took a gulp of her mojito. It was the tenth drink she had. She was drinking a lot.

“Lilac, is everything okay with you?” I asked, looking at her intently. Her eyes filled with tears again.

“I got pregnant two months before he proposed,” she informed me, and my face lit up in excitement. That was great news. Does it mean she’s a mom too? My smile vanished when she said,

“I had a miscarriage,” a tear dropped from her eyes and I swallowed, standing up and going to hug her.

She held me tightly as long as she wanted. She pulled away. I went to my seat.

Since then, Jace and I haven’t been too close, and I don’t know what this means for our engagement.

What if he only proposed because I was pregnant, Love,” she had a faraway look in her eyes. I was

heartbroken for her. It must have been hard for them. I couldn’t imagine losing a child.

Have you talked to a couple’s counselor?” I asked gently.

‘He keeps himself busy with work and avoids serious conversations with me even though he is endearing to me,” she confessed.

I listened as she talked about her situation while she was drunk. I didn’t know how to help her. I felt powerless.

It was dark outside now, and Lila was barely able to stand. I called my chauffeur who helped me get her to the car. I wanted to take her home, but she refused. I got Jace’s phone number and texted him Lilac was safe with me. He called me and talked to me. That was when he was at ease.

My kids were sleeping when we got home, but Luis was awake. He looked surprised to see Lilac.

B

Do you want to disclose this location?” he asked, carrying Lilac in his arms and taking her to my room. I’d watch over her there.

“Don’t worry, Sweetie,” I said.

Once she was in bed, I took off her shoes and put her in pajamas. Lilac was speaking gibberish.

M

What happened?” Luis sighed.

No, what happened to you, the guttural voice and all,” I laughed. He chuckled.

Remember Mr ‘it’s Blue, it’s Blue‘ in New York?” he asked, and I nodded, chuckling at the memory of his old lover who was plagued with the color blue. He dated him for only a month before dumping him via
