"Give that to me." Marco snatches the newspaper from Elliot. "Marco this is too much. I mean, these articles and all. It may effect your image." Elliot says. "It doesn't matter baby, don't worry about it okay? I'll handle it." Marco assures. "But for now, I want to show you something." he takes his hands and heads towards the hallway. "I know that only the two of us live in this mansion. I have made some arrangements so that you do not feel bored when I go to the office." he says. "What new feat have you accomplished now, sweetheart?" Elliot teases. "Just follow me." Marco replies.

Marco takes him to the library. "Here. I know you are a big book lover. So, here I have bought so many books for you. There are romance, dark romance, horror, thriller, fictional and many more." he says and Elliot stays silent. He then takes him to the kitchen and introduces the chefs. "Listen, these three chefs are from different countries. South Korea, Thailand and the UK. So if you want to eat anything just tell them and the food will be in front of you, however if you want to eat Indian food then call my mom." he winks. Elliot has no idea what to say so he just follows him.

Marco takes him to the garage and Elliot gets shocked to see his car collections. He blinks his eyes and looks at him. "Alright, if ever you have to go somewhere, whether for shopping or somewhere else, just choose one of these vehicles. You will get anything you want. Tesla, BMW, Lamborghini, Sports Car, Range Rover, Mercedes. Everything is here!" Marco says. "Holy shit!" Elliot curses and looks at him in disbelief. "Okay one last thing." Marco takes his hand and heads towards the balcony.

"Okay listen to me carefully. I bought a helicopter in case there was any emergency in the future and we had to go somewhere." he says. Elliot tries to say something but gets interrupt by him. "And I have also hired a bodyguard for your safety. I know there are already security guards and cameras all around, yet I didn't want to take any risks. So, meet Sebastian your bodyguard." Marco introduces Sebastian. Elliot greets him with smile. "Now I have to go, he will be at your service. If you need anything let him know. But if there is anything else just call me okay? I will come immediately." he says. Elliot then hugs him and kisses his cheeks. "Miss me okay?" Marco says and leaves for the office.

At the Office :

Marco is sitting at his desk going over some files when two guards bring a man into his cabin. He looks at that man and throws a newspaper on his face. "So you are the one who wrote these articles huh?" he yells at him. "I'm sorry sir. I swear this will never happen again." the man apologies. "What do you guys think about yourselves huh? You will publish anything about anyone and no one will say anything to you? Well let me tell you, you messed with the wrong person this time! I want your apology in the newspaper tomorrow and if I don't get it, then your job and you both are finished! Now get the hell out of here!" Marco warns him. The reporter apologies to him once more and leaves.

"Sometimes I don't understand whether you are my son or a gangster!" Maya walks in. Marco laughs. "It was needed ma." he says. Maya sits on the sofa. He closes the door and sits with her. "I have a good news for you. Your lovely enemy Daniel is out of town now. He is in Dubai. It seems that he has gone there to run his strip club buisness." she says. Marco rolls his eyes and leans back. "It's good he left. He has given Elliot a lot of fright." he says.

Maya checks some files while Marco is talking with someone on his phone. After a few minutes he cuts the call. "Hey ma, tomorrow is his birthday so um.. I have planned a surprise for him. Are you coming?" he asks. "Ofcourse honey! Is that even a question? I will definitely come." she replies. "But don't do anything in front of me okay? Yes, I am open-minded but that doesn't mean you two should start in front of your mother!" she points towards the camera. Marco hides his face, he knows what she's talking about. "Okay ma." he says and he doesn't know how to stop blushing.

At the Mansion:

After threatening the reporter, doing office work and being embarrassed in front of his mother, Marco finally returns home. He sees Sebastian is standing outside of their room and Elliot is lost in his book. "Hey baby." he calls him. "Hey.. how's your day?" Elliot asks. "Hectic!" Marco replies. He kisses his forehead and sits on his side. After a minute Marco snatches the book from him. "Stand up and turn around" he orders. Elliot obeys but his heart is beating fast. Marco puts something on his neck. "Locket?" Elliot asks. "This is for you my love. Don't lose this locket okay?" Marco says. Elliot nods.

They finish their dinner and lie down on the bed. "OW!" Elliot yelps in pain. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Marco worries. "Yeah I'm fine. I think I ate too much." he says. "Do you want me to call the doctor?" Marco asks. "No it's fine. I just want you." Elliot replies. He lies down his head in his lap. He still feels the pain in his abdomen. Elliot knows something is not right, he feels sick but he didn't say anything.

"Are you missing your family?" Marco asks. Elliot just nods. Marco plays with his long blonde hair. Elliot closes his eyes in hope that the pain will gone. "I'm coming in a minute." he says and rushes towards the bathroom. Marco follows him. Elliot vomits and coughs a lot. "Hey hey.. are you okay? I'm calling the doctor." Marco asks. "I'm fine babe. It will be alright soon I promise. I just need some sleep." Elliot replies. Marco helps him washing his face. Elliot lies down on the bed. Marco rubs his palm to make him feel better. "Is this because of the food?" he asks. "Maybe." Elliot whishpers. He turns to the left and covers his head with the blanket.

Marco can feel him crying but he didn't disturb him. He lies down and pulls him closer and gently rubs his back. They fall asleep after an hour.
