Chapter 46

A Dead End

Damien

The office was silent as I tried to focus on the documents I was going through, but my mind kept on drifting back to Elena.

It'd been three days.

She hadn't called or come into the office, I’d tried to tell myself that I shouldn't care. I'd wanted calling multiple times but I always chickened out at the last moment. What was I going to tell her? What should I even tell her?

    CHAPTER 115Actions Breed Consequences…Elena“Are you okay?” Damien asked as we got out of the car and I moved to the side to stretch my legs.“Oh, yeah, I'm good. Just tired from being cooped in a tiny, little car for hours.” I tell him, rolling my shoulders.Two more cars rolled up ahead and the first person who dropped from the car shocked me as Cornell smiled, stretching a hand towards the car and Victoria came out next.My brows climbed up to my forehead as this was the first time I had seen him since his wedding. We didn't speak much after our argument and since things have been strained between us, I didn't see much of him.“Thank you, darling!” Victoria giggled, clinging tightly to his arm as she stepped up on tiptoes to kiss his cheek, but it only served to make Cornell look uncomfortable. “Ha! We're finally here! Hey, bro!” The latter part of her sentence was directed towards Damien, dragging Cornell's attention to us.I faked a small smile, pretending t

  • CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES    114 Move-in Day

    CHAPTER 114Move-in DayElena “I think this spot is better for the chairs!” I called out to the guys trudging through the house, carrying boxes.Someone grunted in response and gave a sign that they would double back, so I took several steps back and took a sweeping glance of the room.It's almost surreal to think that I would be living here instead of my former apartment but this move was the better option than staying next to Cornell.Besides, this is another proof that a lot can change in one month.Ever since that dinner, things have progressed between us. The painting revealed a lot of history between Jane and me.It turns out the reason why Jane had my mother's picture is because she's my biological grandmother.Shocking, isn't it?I nearly collapsed from shock when I found out. It turns out that my mother eloped with my father, temporarily cutting ties with her family just so they could be together because Jane, at the time, didn't approve of the union.

    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 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
