During the following couple of days, the villa turned into a museum, literally.

My mother in-law informed the whole elite society in the country about Ines's "near death" experience, consequently, many decided to suddenly turn into very dutiful creatures, and they came to the villa to visit the survivor.

At the beginning, many among them were sent back without setting one foot inside the villa, the guards at the exterior gate refused to let them in following Eliyas's strict orders.

But after refusing 11 extremely wealthy visitors in the just 3 days, I came to realize that it was useless, disrespectful and dangerous to refuse such mighty people! Eliyas already had a ton of enemies so he didn't have to create new ones by doing such silly action.

Having this strong motivation in head, I found my self suggesting to him despite my heart's wish:

_" Eliyas, I don't think it's proper to keep disrespectfully sending these people back from the gate , you're only creating problems that you really don't need, Since it's obviously your mother's plot then why don't you just either send Ines back home or ask your mother to come here as well and take care of her guests."

_" Ines has to stay here." Eliyas replied coldly while keeping his focus on his laptop instead of looking at me.

This answer was not conclusive at all, I mean yes Ines will stay, but will he keep kicking people out ruthlessly?
I took a deep breath then I logically asked:

_" So, how are you going to deal with the visitors?"

_"I've already dealt with them, they were all told that they will be invited to a recovery party that mother will organize in her villa"

What!

What a sneaky man!

_" and why didn't you tell me about it?" I asked with displeasure.

He sighed and said:

_" I didn't know you were told about the visitors to begin with, I personally ordered not to bother you with this unnecessary matter, was Nana the one who told you about this?"

_" Yes" I mumbled.

He finally raised his eyes to look at me, he smiled widely then suggested:

_" Next time, if there is anything that is bothering you, just come straightforward discuss it with me, don't burden your head with thinking, just relax, you're in vacation now."

Although I didn't find these words romantic at all, I still shamelessly held his face between my palms then pecked his lips and said:

_" OK, I will."

There was another matter in fact that I probably needed to discuss with him, but I preferred not to bring it out until my suspicions are confirmed.
This matter is: Mr Houdil Akrem and his weird behavior around Ines.
Like the first day when Ines arrived from the hospital, Eliyas sat on a chair beside her bed for long awkward minutes without saying a word, And because Ines and I are not on friendly terms, no one spoke among us all, so we just ended up spending long silent minutes just staring at one another.

I felt quite unwelcome in fact, so I decided to just save my face and leave the siblings alone in the room.

I walked straight towards the open door, then went out quietly, I happened to meet Akrem who was about to walk in, so yes, we almost bumped into one another in a very embarrassing way, to god's mercy Akrem had sharper reflexes and he jolted at the right moment avoiding me.

I wanted to wipe the embarrassment of that moment so i thought i must say anything! To my bad luck though, i was so startled that instead of asking: " are you here to see Eliyas?" I spoke the idea I had in mind and asked:
