I watched Damien pace the floor, agitated, disturbed, and devastated. I hated to see him this way, but I couldn’t help him. He had to sort out his mess. I took the ingredients out of the refrigerator to make a simple dinner. But Ryan’s sweet face was all I could think of. What was he up to at Everly’s house? Did he have his dinner?

Damien disconnected his call and approached me. “I’m going to Everly’s house to see Ryan. Don’t wait up for me.” He dumped Ryan’s belongings in a trolley case

    Elena“I did nothing, Damien. They’re my family now.” We walked out of Grandpa’s apartment towards the elevator. I knew we were heading home. My heart thumped with excitement. After missing him for the last twenty-four hours, I couldn’t wait to be alone with him.His grip on my hand tightened. “I’m glad you feel so, Lena. I can see why they love you so much. You have accepted them wholeheartedly into your life.”The elevator reached the ground level, and we walked towards our tower. “Oh, at least they love me while some don’t.” I gave him a sideways glance to check his reaction. Did he understand my implication? I didn’t want the love of his family. I needed his love!He chuckled, his gaze fixed on me. “You’re obviously blind.”“Nope. I haven’t learned to read a closed book.” The elevator stopped at his floor, and I tried to wrench my hand free. I wasn’t blind. He was a closed book, never confessing his feelings to me. Every woman had the right to hear the three magical words that cou

    Elena The next morning, Aunt Sarah coaxed Drake to agree to a hasty wedding after returning from Santorini. “Get, Daniella, son. I wish to spend some time with her.” Drake brought Daniella home, and we bonded again like siblings. Even Damien’s cousin, Lucien, came over with his family. Lucien’s grandfather, Benson Sylvester, was Damien’s grandpa’s older brother, and they were quite close. Lucien’s wife, Brynne, was Daniella and Julia’s close friend. They caught up with one another the minute they united. Although I was an outsider among them, not once did they let me feel so? “Ellie, sweetheart, can you give me my medicine? I forgot which ones I should take now.” Aunt Sarah gave me a lost look. “Of course, you can always ask me if you forget.” I rose and picked up her medicine box. Damien came over to help me. Aunt Sarah lay down afterwards, and I walked out to the living room. Damien followed me everywhere, and it made my heart skip a beat. I had missed him immensely last night

    DamienAs I drove into the condominium, my heart thumped with excitement. I couldn’t wait to get her naked and writhing beneath me. With my mental condition healed, this time the lovemaking should feel special to both of us. I wanted to confess my feelings for her tonight. “I can’t wait to taste that combo,” Elena gestured towards the tub of ice cream and chocolate sauce I brought along. “For that, you have to do some hard work.” I grinned at the confused look on her face. She was too naïve. Hadn’t she understood my purpose for buying those? She really had a lot to learn. “What hard work?” She eyed the treats hungrily. It made my co*k surge. Would she love it if I coated it with her favorite sauce? “You’ll see,” I smirked as I parked my car and led her up to the elevator to my apartment.“Oh, I can do anything for those.” She eyed the treats all the way to our apartment. “Anything? Think again, my beautiful girlfriend!” I leaned in to whisper. She blushed, and for a moment I tho

    ElenaMy heart thumped wildly as I looked forward to my first proper date with Damien. The only one we went to wasn’t an actual date, although it had felt like one. We were in denial and had fought like cats and dogs. He had just rescued me and whisked me away to Rochester. I hadn’t known about his equation with Everly then. But this time, we were in a relationship. Everything felt so surreal, as if I could blink back to reality any time. I was so used to craving Damien that I had to pinch myself all day to check. After the fun outing, Ryan was too tired to stay awake. I tucked him in and left with Damien. “You have two hours to get ready. I’ll catch up with my cousin, Lucien, and be back on time.” He left me alone in his enormous apartment. I walked into the bedroom I had selected for myself. But my luggage wasn’t there. Where had Damien kept my belongings? Butterflies fluttered in my stomach at the obvious implication. I was his girlfriend. Definitely, he would want me to sleep

    ElenaRyan couldn’t contain his excitement the whole day. We opted for a family outing with him. Even Alex and Serenity joined us with Angela. We spent the day in Central Park nearby. Ryan knew the place way better than we did. I was indebted to Alex and Serenity for bringing him here every weekend.“Ryan, pass me the ball!” yelled Damien, his face radiant and happy. I watched him enjoy a game of football with Alex and Ryan. Angela gurgled with happiness at the sight of them, especially Ryan and his silly antics to make her laugh. He was such a doting older brother to Angela. I could watch them all day and never tire of it.“Lena, come here. I need someone on my team!” yelled Damien. With Alex and Ryan on one team, he was all alone playing against them.I chuckled and shook my head. “No, thank you. I can’t play football.”“Please, Mom, join my team. I’ll teach you,” Ryan begged, and I rose to join him.I couldn’t refuse my little boy. Damien paused and gaped at me. “Hey, that’s so unf

    ElenaI met every member of Damien’s family. The warm welcome I received at his home touched my heart. It didn’t feel like I was meeting them for the first time. “Why don’t you take Elena to your apartment, Damien? She could suggest the changes she needs.” Aunt Vera ushered us out despite my protests. Of course, I was eager to see my forever home. But shyness gripped my heart at the thought of spending time alone with Damien in my dream home. Previously, in Rochester, it was different. I was in denial. But now, when my feelings had grown deeper than before, I couldn’t restrain myself any longer. I was sure Damien might have sensed the change in me. Then why didn’t he make a move yet? “Wait for me, Uncle Damien!” A young boy of twelve stopped us, rushing out of the apartment. Did he live here? How did I miss him?“Hey, Diego! How have you been?” Damien fist-bumped with the boy. Then he smiled at me. “Elena, meet Diego, my nephew. He’s Dominic’s son from his first marriage.”Diego gr
