Husband With Benefits

"You’re quite something, Elena Wintrhope."

Elena looked up from her papers at the cold voice that had just spoken up and raised an eyebrow," What do you mean?"

"You used your own daughter for ransom? So, how does it feel to be a large stockholder of Frost Industries."

Elena Winthrope caressed the file in front of her lovingly before she looked up," Good. And it will be quite better tomorrow when I throw Demetri out of the chairman’s position."

"You sound quite confident. How much stocks did you get?"

Elena smiled," Enough to create trouble. I might not be able to exceed their own share but if I were to take into accound Gabe’s share then I have enough to wreak havoc and create troubles. The Frosts are finally going to suffer... And it could not have been possible without you darling. So thank you."

Standing up Elena walked around her desk and gently hugged her daughter," If you had not come back when you did, I would have been thrown out by your father, destitute and desperate."

Arabelle patted her mother’s back even as she had no emotion on her face as she told her," It was all I could do to help you. Mom, I want to go back now."

Elena stepped back and looked at her daughter with concern," You don’t mean that? You want to go back with that Gabe?"

Arabelle nodded," Yes mother. I want to go back with him and just live well. The other me sometimes... she is not well and unable to handle herself. I fear that I will end up in a bad state some day because of my other self. I’d rather go with Gabe who will take good care of me."

Elena wanted to protest but Arabelle shook her head," Tomorrow when you go to the Frost Industries, I will leave here with Gabe. I hope you will be happy in the future and let go of the past. Forget about me as well. I will not return here."
