[Damon]

I watch as she gets into the police car and drives away.

For a long moment, I just stand there, staring into the darkness, fighting with a strong emotion that has never surfaced so fiercely before.

I don’t know what’s happening. I can’t explain it.

My head hurts, but my heart aches worse.

Since when did Elara turn into this selfish, greedy woman? How long has she been fooling me like this? Is this the first time she has done something like this? Or has it happened before, but not of this

Hello, lovely readers! I just wanted to say how happy I am that you chose to read my work. I know the updates have been slow, but I’m a new mother, and it’s been hard to balance work and home—but I’m trying. I do plan to have at least 100 chapters done this month, so you might see more than one or two updates in the coming days. Thank you all so much for your support. Have a very nice day!

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 119

    [Elara]It was like facing myself in the mirror.The only difference was that the reflection in front of me looked more like my future self than my present self. The same eyes. The same nose. The same shape of lips. Just older, softer somehow, like time had polished the sharp edges away.And that wasn’t even the craziest thing that had happened so far.The really crazy thing happened when the older yet graceful woman in front of me slowly moved closer and cupped my face, her bottom lip wobbling, her hands shaking.“I knew it,” she whispers, a tear slowly rolling down her face. “I knew it.”Before I can ask what she means by that, the older man behind her steps forward and places his hand on her shoulder.“Amber,” he says gently, though his dark eyes never leave mine. “Easy. Don’t scare her.”I shift my gaze from the woman to the man, unsure of what is going on here. My mind feels slow, like it’s trying to catch up with something it doesn’t understand.I swallow.“I’m sorry,” I say, my

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 118

    [Elara]The drive to the mansion isn’t a long one.Barely ten minutes have passed when the cars start circling the roundabout and pulling up in the grand driveway.“Mommy, this place is so huuuuuge,” Cora gasps, her hands pressed against the window, her face glued to the glass. Then, as if struck by a thought that’s way too exciting than anything else, she turns to me with her eyes as wide as saucers. “Mommy, what if Nora is some princess? Only princesses live in a place like this, don’t they?”I’m pretty sure Nora isn’t some kind of royalty.That’s… what I almost say. But the words… they never leave my mouth.Because the truth is, I’m not so sure myself either.What do I really know about Nora anyway? That we share the same rare blood group? And although she looks every bit like a rich, pampered heiress, she doesn’t have that kind of obnoxious attitude?I take a deep breath, suddenly way too nervous for my own good.“Why don’t you ask her yourself?” I tell her, and just as those word

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 117

    [Elara]Seeing Nora after so long almost takes me by surprise.So much so that when we finally come face to face, no words come out of my mouth. My hands hang awkwardly at my sides, and for a second, all I can do is stare.“Oh my God, Elara. You’re finally here.” Nora throws her arms around me, hugging me tightly enough to wake me out of my thoughts. I hug back, even if it’s a bit slow and slightly reluctant, my fingers curling into the soft fabric of her shirt. “I’m so, so, so happy. You have no idea.”“It’s good to see you too.” We pull away, but she never really lets me go, her hand still resting on my arm like she’s afraid I might disappear. “But… what are you doing here?” Or maybe the question should be: what am I doing here?As if the answer to the question is looming right behind me, I turn and look over my shoulder.Griffin stands there with his hands tucked inside the pockets of his pants, the wind tugging slightly at his shirt. He’s watching me quietly, looking at me as if h

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 116

    I don’t know what he means by that, so I do my best to ignore that little flutter in my stomach.“So, where did you say we are going?” I ask instead, doing my best to move past the conversation that seems to be heading in a direction I’m not sure I want it to go yet.Griffin doesn’t push. He never does.He plays along. “I never said anything.”I watch him shrug before leaning back and crossing those broad arms over his perfectly sculpted chest—one that I have touched way too many times. A hell of a lot more than I ever did with Damon. If I were to be honest, in the five years of our marriage, Damon and I have only slept together five times, and each time, the name on his lips was Hannah’s. Not mine.I take a deep breath, realizing once again how I feel nothing for him anymore. It’s as if, the night Cora and I walked away, all my ties with him were cut for good, and whatever lingering feelings

  • After My Last Breath   Chapter 115

    [Elara]“I can’t believe this is finally over!” cries Sarah, literal tears running down her cheeks as she looks at all the faces that started to feel like family over the last 18 months. “I’m going to miss you all like hell.”Darius, one of the most silent and brick-faced guys in the group, seems to be moved by Sarah too, just like everyone else, though he hides it well by rolling his eyes and scoffing.I know that because I have spent five years with someone like him.Silent. Cold. Arrogant.The only difference between Darius and Damon is: Darius isn’t as cruel or heartless.He’s also a genius, so that’s something.“Only someone as sentimental as you would say that,” he mumbles under his breath, as usual lingering a few feet away from all of us, but always with attentive eyes and ears. “Don’t you have a family or a boyfriend to go back to? Who are you putti

    [Griffin]After dropping Elara off at Cora’s school, I get into my car and drive straight to the private airport.The moment I step out, Liam follows me onto the plane.“Sir, the conference with the international clients has been pushed to midnight, just like you wanted. The land acquisition for the new research center has been greenlit, and the final papers will be signed by the end of the day. The media team is already prepared to release the announcement. Also, your father called.” He takes a rightful pause before searching for my face as I take my seat. “He wants you home in three days. He said that if you didn’t show up for your grandfather’s birthday party, he might as well disown you.”I almost laugh at the audacity to even think he’s capable of something so drastic.I wave him off. “Tell my father I’ll see him in Hell before I ever step foot in that house again.”“He also said he’ll cut your inheritance.”“He’s welcome to try.”Liam knows better than to push further. He nods a
