LOGIN“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 96A Sudden Plot Twist!ElenaThe next morning rolled by quickly as my alarm did the honors of waking me up with a loud shrill.Today was quite an important day for both of us as we're meeting up with a movie production company.The goal is to ensure that they partner with us in a collaboration for the theme park.Since they're a well-sought-after production company, it'll take a lot to sway them on our side, but I'm prepared.Cornell wasn't just bringing me to the meetings because I looked pretty but also because I could contribute to the conversation.Today, I had my notes and was prepared with points that would win them over.Three knocks on my door arrived just when I was slipping my feet into a pair of heels.Instead of a power suit, I went for a simple dress and heels to complement Cornell's outfit.“I'm coming!” I called out, picking up my clutch purse and phone on my way to the front door, swinging it open a few seconds later. “Hi!”Cornell did
CHAPTER 95That Weird Encounter…Several Days Later…Elena The flight went well and three hours later, we had arrived at our destination.Since the ride was a little bumpy, we decided to make a quick stop in our rooms and meet up later to hang out and enjoy a meal.In my room, I agonised over my choice of outfit before I gave in and wore the gown I wanted —a floor-length black chiffon gown with a wide neckline and minimal jewelry.For the past week, Cornell had amped up his game, flirting with me every second and dropping thoughtful gifts as casually as possible. It's like the engagement and incident with the whole drink situation made him want me more.And I can't lie…his persistence does make him attractive.I went downstairs earlier than the time we had agreed to scope out the restaurant.Just as I saw online, every part of it was wonderful —from the twinkling lights ahead to the soft music playing in the background —and the unique hand-painted tableware was
CHAPTER 94New Feelings…Cornell A knock on the front door woke me up, making me realise that I'd fallen asleep in an awkward position, holding on to Elena's hand.She was still sleeping, snoring softly with her nose wrinkled as she muttered in her sleep.The knock came again, more insistent this time and I gently untangled my hand from hers, straightening to my feet.Cautious of Elena who was still sleeping, I opened the door gently, spotting Sam on the other side of the door.I stepped out of the room, slamming the door closed behind me. “What is it?”“I'm so sorry to disturb you, sir, but urgent business has come up. I thought you would like to know about it.”Crap.“Yeah, I would.” I scrub a hand down my face to get the remnants of sleep out of my eyes. “You know what, just meet me in my office. Give me a few minutes and I'll join you.”He nods and walks away, allowing me to go back to the bathroom.Reaching below Elena's thighs, I unplugged the drain so th
