"Max..stop it!", said Oliver stepped quickly to Maxxie and Elland who were still struggling. Oliver had seen Max hit Elland empty-handed even though many had broken both.
"I don't care about you Max. Until whenever Elara is mine! If you want to know the truth, it's Elara I'm back in town", elland exclaimed while holding his face that looked red and the tip of his lips let out blood hit by the raw bogem that Maxxie gave him.
Elland's words further enraged Maxxie, instantly making her back up again. "Buck you, asshole!"
"What the hell are you two, fighting in such a public place. Aren't you ashamed to see everyone here" Oliver snapped.
Javier and company security dispersed the crowd of people who wanted to see what was really going on there.
Most of them are Lucifer employees, which means Oliver's men. Some of the guests who come there because of a business.
Seeing the owner of the company directly separating the quarrel, the people immediately disbanded following Javier's orders. Of course they do not want to risk their work in the company.

"Because this bastard's relationship with Elara is threatened. You have to help me Oli, where's my fiancee? I waited at the apartment last night, but Elara didn't come back there. I'm sure you know where Ela is" Maxxie said still with anger at her.
At this time the three were already in Oliver's study, but Maxxie and Elland were still holding each other's sharp, hateful gazes.
"You don't need to tell Ela whereabouts to Oli. Elara being with him is no guarantee your sister will be happy. What do you expect from a man who hasn't moved on from his past over his wife's death. Maxxie is still grieving the passing of his wife even though the events are long gone. Even today, he still cries in the navel of people who have long died. This man will make Elara suffer" Elland cried.
"You motherfucker!"
Maxxie could no longer control his emotions, the man spontaneously threw the display before him at Elland who swiftly caught the display before hitting his face.
"Look if you want to have a brother-in-law like him, temperament. While we've been friends since little Oli. Our family has been friends for a long time".
"Shut your mouth is Ellando, or you'll regret being born into this world! You've dared to lie to me all this time. You've not been my best friend since you dared to touch my sister and leave her pregnant with your child. You are such a shame, such an irresponsible coward. Don't expect Elara to be with you again asshole. Lucky I didn't put you in jail, because of our parents' friendship" Oliver said
"Now there's nothing more to talk about! You betrayed my trust and my family's in you. Go before my men kick you out. This is the last time you have appeared before me!", Oliver said firmly.
"Listen to me first Oli. Of course I'm not going anywhere. We need to talk, man. Elara and I loved each other for a long time, I left because of daddy's wishes. You know what daddy would do if he had decided something".
"He wanted me to go to college in the same place as him. And when I found out that Ela was pregnant, it really confused me. I was so young back then, I wasn't ready to be a father. Understand the friend. But now I've decided. I want to be with Elara, the woman I love and be my first love" Elland said earnestly.
Hearing the man's words, Maxxie instantly clenched her fingers, while her face darkened withstanding the emotions in her regaining control.
"Your excuse is too late. There's no point in you spelling it out here. You've hurt my sister, whatever your reason behind it all you're still a selfish loser. Ela told me everything. My sister has long forgotten about you. And he has absolutely no feelings for you anymore".
"I remind you Ellando, don't disturb Elara's life again. Elara is no longer the fragile young girl she once was. Now she's a strong woman and will always have the support of me and Maxxie. The man he loved so much right now!", Oliver insisted as he pulled a sharp look at the silent Elland.
Meanwhile, hearing Oliver's words made Maxxie's feelings warm up. He nodded his head and smiled meaningfully. Max smiled cynically at the change in the look of Elland's face that looked tense.

"Lake in!"
Javier's seen opening the door. "Sorry sir interfered, Miss Elara is not in her apartment. According to security there, since dusk yesterday Miss Elara left and has not returned until now".
Maxxie stood up from his place. "Oliver..so you don't know where Ela is either?"
"Of course I don't know" Oliver replied quickly.
Oliver's reply left Maxxie speechless for a moment. Suddenly his feelings were not good and a feeling of guilt instantly overwhelmed him.
"Where are you, baby?"
