Ellen was left exhausted after the flight. She could not say it was because of the jet lag she felt after flying for twelve hours, but also because of the lies she had kept spewing throughout the journey. She was convinced that day that those who said that you need more lies to cover up lies were right. She had to protect herself and her family and still sound good in the ears of Ronan. The reason she wanted to sound good in his ears was beyond her. She could not explain it, but that was the way she felt about it. She went to the house where she had been living with her children and their nanny. The real estate had already put the house on the market for rent. She had decided to keep the property in her name and just rent it out. There would be no pain in having an extra income stream.
