In Elena's house dinner was being prepared by her mother with assistance from the house cooks. When she finished cooking dinner she went to freshen then came downstairs to join Elena and her husband Elliot in the seating room while they waited for their special guest. The door bell rang and the house keepers opened the door, he into the sitting and greeted Elliot with a handshake then gave Mariam 'Elena's mother's a light hug then handed her a bouquet of flowers then gave Elena a hug and a peck on her lips then gave her a small box wrapped in pink and black gift wraps, she opened it and saw it was a bracelet with a half heart pendant matching the one he wore and the hall heart had her initial on it 'M'

"you're welcome" he said as he hugged her back, her parents stared at them with a smile on their face as they were happy to see their daughter happy.
They all went to the dining table and sat down, Elliot sat at the head with Mariam sitting at his left, Elena sitting at his right and Mars sitting beside her. The cooks served the food and they started eating

"Elena said you came hear for work, so what type of work do you do" Elliot asked this time, Elena who was putting her spoon in her mouth stopped half way as she was worried as to what reply Mars would give as she herself did not know what type of work he does, but she was also eager to hear Mars's reply so she placed her spoon back in her plate and stared at Mars

"I work in a firm, they decided to expand so they sent me here to oversee the project" he said and Elena looked shocked and confused but she didn't show it, she was wondering that if that was the business he did then why was he so secretive about it that she was actually starting to think he was involved in illegal things.

"What type of firm" her father inquired more
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXmDlpSsWO
"it's an advertising firm" Mars replied, they kept eating and talking, when they finished eating they went to the seating room and continued talking.
They talked for about thirty minutes more before Mars got up to leave, Elena walked him to his car

"thank you for coming to dinner" she said as they stood beside his car

"you're welcome" he said and just then his phone rang, he brought it out from his pocket to see who was calling, Elena stared at his phone and saw the caller was a private number

"I should go" he said as he placed his phone back in his pocket, he gave her a deep kiss and was about to enter his car

"Mars wait, I want to ask you something" Elena said and he stopped in his tracks then turned to look at her then nodded "do you really work for an advertising firm?" she asked to confirm if what he told her parents was true
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3CkuA6HGC
"no I don't" he said and entered his car then drove away, she remained standing in her place thinking of what he said, so he lied to her parents, she felt confused and conflicted, she didn't want to ask him about his business as he told her not to but still she was feeling scared and uneasy, she had the feeling like as if something bad would happen soon. She want to her room and changed into her night wear then went to bed.

After Mars drove away, he stopped at a deserted area, came out of his car and sat on it at the back while staring into space, he stayed there for a long time before he entered the car and drove away.

Elena was sitting beside the pool in her yellow flowered pattern bikini in the afternoon while operating her phone, she was looking angry as she was trying to text Mars but he wasn't replying, she tried calling as well but he kept rejecting her calls she was getting frustrated and scared as she was having an uneasy feeling, she thought of going to his house but she decided against it as she thought of he was rejecting her calls then he should be fine maybe he was just busy. She was in deep thought when she felt someone touch her shoulder, she looked up and saw it was Muriel she got up and hugged and they both sat down

"Elena are you okay, you looked worried" Muriel asked feeling concerned about her best friend
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yey23RKBb
"I look worried because I am worried" she said sounding really stressed
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlVHVXWCNj
"what's wrong?" Muriel asked
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi9Qgnylst
"I actually don't know, I have this feeling like something bad will happen, I feel uneasy and on top of that I can't get a hold of Mars , he keeps rejecting my calls" she explained how she felt
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0B55tFywG
"why are you scared, of he is rejecting your calls it might be because his busy with work" Muriel said trying to make her feel better
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY2ZLXZzTj
"that's the problem, I don't know what type of work he does" Elena said pointing out the main reason she felt uneasy
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAg6NsTotF
"are you suspecting that his into something illegal?" Muriel asked feeling more worried herself
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzDLTZZc1u
"I really don't know but I hope not" Elena said rubbing her temples
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5YLxTuLZY
"Elena, you shouldn't overthink this, all you have to do is trust him" Muriel said trying to ease her stress
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJRRZinQ8t
"I do, that's the reason am not asking about his work" Elena said then took a deep breath to calm down
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFilTvfpQN
"then do this, go visit him tomorrow when you are calm and relaxed" Muriel said
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXsbFQizCH
"I will" Elena said and drank a glass of wine on the table.
Elena and Muriel stayed at the pool side discussing for quite a while before Muriel left in the evening then Elena went to freshen up then have dinner with her parents. Before going to bed, she sent Mars a message saying 'please call me' then turned off her bed side lamp and went to bed.

Elena woke up early in the morning and went to freshen, she was preparing to visit Mars, she was a little scared to go without informing him because she had never gone there alone before, he was the one who always brought her there so she wasn't really sure if he would like it if she goes there but she was too worried to even care.
She left the house around nine in her red Ferrari, it is quite a long drive to his house since his house is at the out scarce of the city, so she took a while to get there.
When Elena got to Mars's house she went inside "eliminate who?".
