The fear of losing her loved ones again washed over Elena. “Take me to the hospital!”

Drake turned sharply at the sound of her voice. Elena was on the floor near the door, her body trembling.

Before Drake could even step toward her, the bodyguard swooped down. The man lifted Elena into his arms as if she weighed nothing. He carried her out of the house, straight toward the waiting car.

Drake wanted to follow, but the bodyguard blocked his way.

“Drake, you’re not going anywhere before the police arrive.” The man roared in a hard voice

The bodyguard pulled out his phone and spoke quickly into it, reporting every detail. Drake could do nothing but stand there, his rage boiling.

Far away, Dolphus had just returned home. The moment he entered, the phone rang. He listened and his face darkened.

“I apologize. We failed to protect Elena. But luckily, both she and the baby are unharmed. The doctor said they will remain in the hospital for tonight under observation and can be discharged tomorr

    Drake slammed the door. His mother gathered her flowing cape around her shoulders.Out in his car, Drake gripped the wheel. His mother’s words clawed at his mind.“I heard Elena’s voice when I was on the phone with Gerald this morning.”The growl built in his throat,, as the memory struck deeper. Driving fast through the dark road, he let one hand rest on the wheel while the other dragged through his hair. Memories clawed their way back without mercy.He was young again, back in high school, when the pack had sent their pups to a military training camp. Another boy, bold and foolish, had confessed his feelings to Elena. Without a thought, Drake gave the boy a very heavy blow on his jaw..Elena did not scold him. Instead, she had dragged him to the infirmary, her soft hands pressing a swab to the cut at the corner of his mouth. Before Drake what he was doing, his lips had brushed hers. It was a light fleeting kiss.The taste of her had stunned him. And shame chased him out the door.

    Gerald’s outfits were already dirty because of the dirt that he got from the fight. He went back to his apartment to change into a different outfit. When he came out from his room, Elena was already waiting for him downstairs. She had bought medicine and Band-Aids. The moment she saw him, she pulled him toward the wooden bench. Elena sat him down firmly, then set the medicine box on her lap and began treating his wounds.Pressing down where the blood still welled. Gerald tried to keep still, but finally, he broke the silence.“Don’t take what that man said to heart. But…” His words came out rough. “Did my cousin really post your nude photos?”Elena didn’t look up. “Hmm,” she answered softly, a simple sound of confirmation.Gerald’s gaze locked onto her. “What is going on between you and my cousin? Don’t mind me asking. I was raised abroad, and I only made contact with my cousin’s family five years ago. I don’t know the real story. The things I heard… they’re all mixed up.”“There isn

    Calista tugged at Gwen's sleeve, whispering low.“Ask the housekeeper to take our child to my mother’s house. Elena and I were pregnant at the same time, but she lost hers. I don’t want her heart breaking again when she sees ours.”“You always amaze me my angel,” Gwen praised Calista.Elena’s phone rang. She lifted the device and listened. It was Professor Gauis's voice.“Elena, you and Gerald must head for the grand hall now.”She ended the call, turned to her classmates, and spoke.“I’ll go first.”Calista gave her a warm nod.“Go with Gerald. We’ll be coming after you once we change our clothes.”Gerald had been about to take his own path, but fate dragged him to Elena’s side. Their footsteps fell in unison as they walked along the leafy campus path.“My cousin said he saw you in Glendale. He said… there was a little girl with you.” Gerald broke the silent as he speaksElena turned her head, her eyes holding no fear. “What do you want to know, Gerald?”Gerald’s hand went to the ba

  • The Forbidden Second Marriage.    Chapter 80: Terms That Cannot Bend

    Elena used her left hand to remove the little hair strap that is on her upper lip. Clearing her throat, she asked, “Is Hamilton Corporation in such a hurry?”“They are anxious,” came the reply from the other end of the line. “Though they may be in a hurry, we will not rush. Our company put its people first. When we share our strength, we share it with our kin before outsiders. I will not see a repeat of what happened with the Nolmex Group. If Hamilton Corporation cannot bow to our terms, then we keep pressing.”The memory of Nolmex Group still burns in her mind. They had charged their company more than they dared charge outsiders. If not for their endless delay and petty disputes, she would have cut them off sooner.Elena growled low, “I am not saying Hamilton Corporation should starve. I only say we will not starve our own to feed them. If they cannot bend, then let the deal die. Tell the manager that these are my words. No pleas will change them.”A beat of silence followed, the ca

    Elena quietly entered through the side passage into the lounge, where only Dolphus stayed.He was draped across the sofa, his head settled against the rear. The glass door separating the lounge from the box quivered with echoes of voices and bursts of laughter. Through it Elena could see the group of executives she had met earlier at the airport, all still celebrating. She drew her gaze back and moved closer to Dolphus. Before she could utter a single word, his eyes opened.“Why are you here?” His voice was low, Dolphus straightened himself and reached for his glasses.“Richard had something personal to handle,” Elena answered softly. She stepped closer and lifted the tea for him. “He asked me to come for you. Are you alright? Should I fetch you a cure for the ache?”Dolphus accepted the cup, his large hand brushing hers briefly. “It’s fine. I did not drink much, only the pounding in my skull. I’m sorry for missing the family dinner.”“It’s nothing. I dropped Lexa off and left,” Elen

    Drake rose to his feet. “I do not have Elena’s contact information,” he said, staring hard at his mother. “Mother, whether that child was adopted or born from Elena’s blood, it does not matter. To Elena, she is the last kin left in this world. I will not fight her for the child.” “Are you doing this for Cassandra?” she snapped. “Are you afraid she will not accept this child? Drake I never liked Cassandra. It was you who insisted, and so I allowed it. If she cannot accept this child…” “Stop, Mother,” Drake’s tone grew harsh, his patience fraying. “Do not drag Cassandra into every word you spit. Is she not good enough for you?” “If she were good, then she would have married you already and given me a grandchild!” his mother barked. She dropped back into her chair, glaring at him. “You said you could not live without her. Your father and I had no choice but to accept her. Then why delay? Why not marry, why not bear children? Yet she keeps saying it is her career’s peak. That she cann
