CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES

“Where did you go?” He questioned, not bothering to adjust his unbuttoned shirt. I had run away but here I was coming to apologize for my actions. “You think you can come and go as you please?” His fingers pressed against my cheeks, firm but not painful, forcing me to meet his gaze. “No, I—I,” I stammered, but before I could finish, his lips almost grazing mine, he interrupted, his tone ice-cold. “You will go home this instant,” he spoke, his face dark. “And you'll stay there till I get back,” he barked out his orders, his eyes boring into mine. “Who do you think you are to order me around,” I thought to respond but my lips wouldn’t make a sound. I didn't fight back. I couldn’t. Without another word, I turned and walked away, his gaze searing into my back. ~~~~~~~~~~ After a steamy night with a sexy stranger, Elena finds out she is pregnant.

Chapter: 113   The Portrait
CHAPTER 113The Portrait ElenaSeeing someone you thought you knew quite well in an unfamiliar setting could be quite…troubling.“Damien?” The word spilled out of my lips in shock as I stared at him, so many thoughts running through my head.What was he doing here?Why did Jane call him Lucas?How does she know him by that name?Was he really her godson?“Elena…” he breathed, looking surprised himself. “You're the one she told me about…” his eyes moved over to Jane like he was putting the pieces of the puzzle together, except I was clueless about what was going on.“Do you know each other?” Jane spoke up after a minute of stunned silence had passed, glancing at Damien and me.Or should I call him Lucas now?“We do.” Damien cleared his throat, tugging at the top of his shirt. “It's uh…complicated.”“Why don't you uncomplicate it for us?” I prompted, smiling sweetly.“Okay, first things first…” Jane murmured, crouching down to face Lily who was still hiding beh

Chapter: 112   The Meetup…
CHAPTER 112The Meetup…Some weeks later…Elena I spent a few seconds staring at the mirror mounted above my dressing table while I played with the necklace resting between my cleavage, looking at my reflection.It's been a long few weeks if I'm being honest, with Lily's surgery and her recovery, spending so much time bouncing between the hospital and work so I could keep the clients satisfied and the company running smoothly. Then also dealing with the fear of losing your daughter and rekindling an emotional connection with Damien.Yeah, Damien…I never thought that would go the way it did but honestly, he's the best person to go through a crisis with.He's patient, calm, supportive, and loving in the right moments.He never let me feel like I was asking too much or needed too much attention in certain aspects, and just like that, my anger melted and what took its place was compassion and slowly, feelings of deeper affection.Which was why I was able to tell him

CHAPTER 111An Accident?! (2)ElenaAfter breaking down in front of my car, somehow I managed to pick myself up and drive down to the hospital, with Cornell trailing behind me.When I was struggling to deal with the news of Lily being in the hospital, he rushed over to me, trying to figure out what had happened and in a weak moment, I gave in and told him.He waited until I felt better and was about to drive out to tell me that he was tagging along.I vehemently refused but he simply jogged over to his own car and followed behind me.I wanted to argue even more but I just let it slide. Even now, I'm barely holding it together.I stopped in front of the receptionist desk to get information about my daughter and once I had it, I moved down the hallway, searching for her room.It turns out that she was on the second floor but just as I was about to step in, a nurse showed up to block my path. “I'm sorry, you can't go in there.” She politely informed me.“That's

CHAPTER 110An Accident?!Elena It was just supposed to be a quilt pop in, just for me to grab some office documents and step out but sadly, I ran into someone.“Elena!” Cornell's voice ran out from the opposite direction as soon as I stepped out of my car.My head whipped to the side, so many emotions running through me, the least of all surprise.Deep down, I knew I was bound to see or run into him sooner or later.I just wasn't prepared.Ever since I heard him and Sophie talking at that cafe, I've been avoiding him.He has sent me dozens of text messages, dropped notes at my office stating that he wants to see me but I usually have my assistant deflect him.Whenever he comes by the house, I simply pretend like there's no one home.Honestly, I wasn't ready to face him as I didn't know how to react or even look at him.It's funny how in just a moment, your entire perception of someone can change.“There you are.” He breathed, his eyes greedily roving over my

CHAPTER 109A Gentle Understanding…ElenaAs soon as I stepped out of the cafe, it felt like I could finally suck in a deep breath without feeling like my chest would shut down. My mind was still reeling from all the information I had consumed from Cornell and Sophia and I had questions.Lots of them.This made me realise that the person I know or thought I knew never existed.Does Cornell even feel anything for me like he declared or was it all fake, a part of his scheme like Sophia did to Damien?Speaking of Sophia, what she and Damien had was a lie?!To think that she would go as far as faking a pregnancy to keep up the ruse was crazy!As I paced up and down the sidewalk, I could barely stay still, my nerves wound up with all this information.My heart went out to Damien who was in the dark and was being manipulated by Sophia.I have to tell him…I didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I couldn't go home and carry on with my life knowing what I did.

CHAPTER 108Is It All A Lie?Elena “Keep the change!” I threw the words over my shoulder to the cab guy as I strolled into the cafe.A few days after the whole mess at Damien's party, Jane reached out to me so we could meet up and I agreed.I loved the little time I spent with her that day and she's pretty fun to have around plus I needed to get my mind off things and she seemed like the perfect distraction.As soon as I stepped foot into the cafe, I was greeted by the head waiter who took me to our allocated table.Unfortunately, I was thirty minutes early so I had to wait.I scanned the beautiful space, noting that the cafe had a different setting compared to others.Instead of a chair and table situation, it was mostly high-end booths…like the one I was currently sitting in.To kill time, I was scrolling through my emails when I heard it.“What do you mean?” Someone hissed from behind me.I stilled, thinking that I had imagined it but then it came again, th

Chapter: Chapter 171: A Second Chance
Chapter 171: A Second ChanceCamilla's PovStanding before me was the woman that I once thought was dead. She stared at me. Her steely resolve faltered to tears glistening in her eyes."What did you just call me?" shaking she whispered "Mom? Do...do you know me?"I swallowed hard, my stomach twisted up with nerves. "Yes, I know you," I said, and I could barely keep the shaking out of my voice. "I grew up seeing your picture in my parent's house. They told me you were my biological mother… but that my father, John, killed you. I—I thought you were dead.”“Who were the parents who raised you?” she questioned with a stern expression.“Your brother, Benson, and his wife, Olivia.” Carol's face crumpled, and the sight caught at my chest. She shook as she extended her hands toward me. "Camilla…my daughter. I—I had no idea.""Mom," I whispered. "You were alive, all these years.And with that, consumed with sobs, she pulled me into her arms tightly. It was as though all that noise going on a

Chapter: 170: SHADOWS AND BLOOD
Dante's POVThe air hung heavy in the room. Ella sat on the ground at the center of the dimly lit basement, her face a mask of defiance though bruises colored her pale skin. I was leaning casually against the table with Ella's phone in my hand, observing her."You're going to prove stubborn to the end, aren't you?" I said icily.She sneered, her swollen lip curling in defiance. "You'll get nothing from me, Dante."Alex was leaning against the doorframe, his arms folded over his chest as he regarded Ella. "We've tried every method. She's either too loyal or too scared."I clenched my fist. The image of Anthony pulling strings behind her seemed seared into my brain. "Or both," I muttered.The phone buzzed on the desk, and I sprang up, and picked it up-the flashing unknown number danced across the screen. Alex took another step closer, taut."Answer it," he said.I nodded and took it to my ear but didn't say anything. The other line was silent too. And then I just waited. The silence hun

Chapter: 169: THE RELATION
Camilla's POV"Dante, you need to sit down for this," Alex said. His voice came out measured, and I could feel the weight of it. Even Dante's eyes seemed to fill with tension though he leaned against the pillows, he looked much better than this morning, but the body still wasn't up and working just yet.I sat on the edge of the chair beside him, watching as the flicker of every emotion crossed his face. My heart could be pounding against my chest, and I wasn't about to show evidence of it."What's wrong?" Dante asked more like jabbed.Alex gave a quick glance my way before he turned back to him. "Ella faked her pregnancy."His face contorted further, a scrunched-up mess as his gaze soured into an accusing scowl. "What?”"She bribed the doctors," I said. "Also the one that diagnosed and confirmed your condition the first time, the doctor knew about the poisoning but gave us a wrong diagnosis on purpose.” The silent seconds ticked over before Dante's hands actually fisted. "Why? What

Chapter: 168: RE-LIVING FATE
Camilla's POV"You're positive she went inside?" I whispered, clenching the steering wheel tightly. I was staring into the entrance of the hospital, my nerves heightened.Alex's voice scratched in my earpiece, firm but wary. "Positive. She just went in. Do you want to back up?” I bit my lip, my fingers dancing on the wheel. "No. Go back home and keep an eye on Dante. It's something I need to deal with myself. Weeks of suspicious behavior on Ella's part had set warning bells ringing in my mind, and today I was going to finally confirm what my gut had been screaming at me all along.I pulled my coat tighter against the biting cold and stepped out of the car. The air was sharp, that kind of chill that burrowed deep in your bones, but I didn't notice. My attention was razor-sharp as I walked briskly across the parking lot and into the warm, sterile lobby of the hospital.Keep your head down. Act normal.The soft chime of the elevator doors slid open, releasing me onto the fourth floor,

Chapter: 167: POISONOUS OBSESSION
Camilla's POV My breath caught as I watched Dante slumped against the headboard, hacking into his lungs. A bit of blood trickled from between his lips and onto his palm and down his hand, spilling onto the sheets. My heart boomed in my chest loud enough to block everything else."Dante!" I shrieked, scrambling onto the bed beside him. "What's going on?”His head swung once in a poor attempt at shaking. "I. I don't know," he spoke in low tones.I grabbed a towel, pressing it to his mouth in hopes of halting the stream of blood while my hands violently shook. "Don't speak. Just breathe. I'm going to call Alex," I said, reaching for my phone.It rang once, and then Alex answered."Camilla? What's going on?""Get here! Now!" I ordered. "Get a doctor, the one that knows what he's doing. Dante is coughing out blood!""What? Is it-""As soon as possible, Alex!" I cut him off, hooking the disconnect button.Dante's hand clutched mine weakly, his eyes searching for mine. "Camilla. I'm fine,"

Chapter: 166: The Ominous Signs
Camilla's POVI stirred the coffee in my mug, my gaze darting to Dante, who sat on the bed edge, rubbing his temples. He was pale, far too pale. The composed veneer he always wore slumped in exhaustion."You don't look good," I said, placing the mug on the nightstand and sitting beside him.Dante let out a sigh and leaned back against the headboard. "I just need some sleep, Camilla. That's all.""No, it's not," I said, laying a hand on his forehead. He wasn't warm, but his skin felt clammy. "You have been pushing yourself too hard. You look sick, you are going to see the doctor.""I'm fine," he muttered, waving me off. “I don't fall sick.”"Dante, stop being stubborn," I snapped. "If you're fine, then just humor me. Let me take you to the hospital."Before he could disagree, a knock was heard at the door. I gave him a pointed glance before crossing the room and wrenching the door open.There she was, standing with her luggage in hand and looking between regret and resolutions swimming
