Romances de M. Eliza

The news spread like wildfire, the adoptive daughter of the Morgan was now a Director. It spread alongside the news of the engagement party of Leonard and Seraphina. For various reasons, nobody seemed to pay attention to the engagement announcement at all and they were just congratulating Liora and once again just after been thrown into the spotlight weeks before. Liora was been congratulated left and right that it even made the news, no one could care less about Leonard and Serpahina getting engaged. That was their business. The Morgan stocks even rose because of the announcement shocking everyone. When Liora walked into her office that morning, someone yelled and burst of confetti strips fell all over her.“Congratulations Director Liora!!” They all yelled and Liora could only burst into laughter. This was already beyond what she could imagine. Penelope was standing with everyone grinning and Liora shook her head. Even in her last life. No one had thrown her this kind of congulat

It was clear to Penelope by the time she entered that Liora was in a good mood. A really good mood. Liora was very different. She was smiling. Not her usual polite smile or I’m not really for this kind of talk meetings. Neither was it the cold smile she used during meetings or the sarcastic smile she reserved for difficult people.This one was soft, warm and peaceful. Just a look at her and she knew that something good had happened. Good enough for Liora to have such a smile plastered on her face. Penelope stood beside the desk holding several files while secretly observing her boss. Liora sat down, switched on her computer and looked through the day's schedule.She had a meeting at ten,a board presentation at eleven another with the regional department and lunch with one of their partners. She had documents to review. There was nothing out of the ordinary in her schedule. Penelope stared at her and finally couldn’t hold back."Director?" She called and Liora looked up."Yes?" Li

The atmosphere inside Damien's office had completely changed, the mood and everything felt different.Damien sat at the longer sofa near the windows, several documents open in front of him and Liora occupied the entire sofa with her head rested comfortably on Damien's lap and one arm wrapped around his waist.Her eyes were closed as if she were dreaming. She heaved a sigh of content as Damien's fingers slowly moved through her hair.Neither of them had spoken for several minutes and as always the silence wasn't uncomfortable. It was peaceful and tinted with a little bit of sweetness.Knowing the truth had left Damien torn. He almost didn’t believe that it had happened but there was no reason for her to lie about such a thing. The fact that she had died had left him so uncomfortable. It also explained her intense hatred for her family even when all his investigations showed that they had done nothing. The theory of rebirth still sounded unbelievable and impossible and yet—He believed

Damien found it hard to breathe as he stared at her. For a moment, he genuinely thought he was imagining it. Liora was still sleeping as he stared at her oblivious to his arrival. Behind him, the directors who had followed him out of the meeting wanting to argue with him also stopped as they walked into the office. They were puzzled seeing Damien frozen and then one by one, their eyes landed on the sleeping woman.The room became very quiet and they stared in shock. The woman had her face buried in her chair but they couldn’t see her face properly. But it was more shocking that there was a woman in their President’s office asleep and it was clear to them that this wasn’t the first time. None of them had any idea that Damien was taken. There had even been rumors that he was gay. Damien slowly removed his suit jacket and the directors stared as he walked toward the sofa carefully and soundlessly. He gently placed the jacket over Liora.The movement made her stir slightly but she did

One week and two days. It had been one week and two days since Damien reached out to Liora. Since their dinner had been abruptly cut off and Damien had walked out. Liora had thought of several scenarios that could emerge from telling Damien about the Target Business Convention but none of them had included that he wouldn’t even try to reach out to her. What she also didn’t include or think about was how much disturbed and how much bothered she would be about it.Liora stared at her phone again. There was nothing like the past week and three days since she had been checking. No messages.No calls.No replies.Only several messages that she had sent over remained in the chat. He had clearly seen it but had chosen not to respond. Damien was always busy, every single time but when it came to her, his schedule was always flexible and yet the same man had not spoken to her in nearly two weeks. The silence was not accidental, it was intentional and she knew that this was the result of

The rain had started sometime in the afternoon and by evening, everywhere was quiet and the skies were dark.The streets glistened beneath the streetlights, and droplets rolled down the large windows of the café where Liora sat waiting.She stirred her coffee absentmindedly and her mind was occupied with so many things. Too many things had happened in the past few days.From the social media chaos to telling her grandfather about Damien from him agreeing and her parents. Everything seemed to be moving faster than she had expected. The firm sound of footsteps made her look up.A small smile spread across her lips as soon as she realized it was Damien. He removed his coat and handed it to the waiter before walking toward her table, the whole cafe had been emptied out the moment he entered. "You're late." She said as soon as he sat down opposite her."Three minutes late” he said with an amused look and Liora pouted. "Still late." She argued and Damien nodded. "I apologize." He said a
