CHAPTER 85

Surprise!

Elena

We walked in, our clothes damp from the rain.

I looked around, noticing the hotel was in good shape.

It wasn't as glamorous as a five-star hotel but it wasn't shabby either.

I stepped back a bit so Cornell could take the lead, and once he did, he walked in, had a brief conversation with the receptionist, and she handed him a key after confirming our reservation.

“You go ahead, I'm waiting for something,” Cornell tells me, handing over the key. “I'll join you soon.”

I wanted to ask what he was waiting for, but then I realized that was none of my business, so I grabbed the key out of his hand and headed for the elevator.

Luckily for me, room 304 was the first room on the third floor.

The moment I got in, I stripped out of my wet clothes, strolling to the bathroom.

I carelessly tossed a bag in the sitting room, humming softly.

The items I had purchased from the convenience store were placed on the counter.

    CHAPTER 97Fun Day (1)ElenaThe past couple of weeks have been hell.Not majorly for me, though, but for Cornell.The car accident hurt him in more ways than one.For one, he has to spend weeks in the hospital, half of which he was in a coma.When he woke up, we were given the horrible news that the accident had affected his legs and it would take time, lots of rest, and a trip to a physiotherapist to help him get mobile.When I heard the news, I nearly flew into a depression.After all, he was in this state because of me.If he hadn't pushed me out of the way in time….Each night I go to bed, that horrific scene replays in my mind and I wake up drenched in sweat and fear.Thankfully, he began to improve and was discharged from the hospital.I stayed close by, practically sleeping in his house for days, so I could help and be around if he needed anything.It was quite depressing, to me anyway, being able to walk on your own two feet and cater to your needs,

  • CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES    96 A Sudden Plot Twist!

    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

  • CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES    95 That Weird Encounter…

    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

    CHAPTER 93Bathroom Saga Cornell When Elena's lips touched mine, my mind went blank and all I could think about was the feel of her soft, pillowy lips on mine and how good she felt in my arms.Caught up in the kiss, I drew her closer, my hands slipping down to the small of her back.Elena tipped her head back, breaking the kiss and giving me enough wiggle room to bend and caress her neck.Immediately, I pressed a kiss to the sensitive spot. She moaned, her hands fisting in my jacket like she was seconds away from tearing them off my body.I didn't mind, too busy dropping little kisses on her collarbone, making my way down to her chest when I heard the noise.Little, hiccuping sounds that drenched a hole in my chest made me stop what I was doing and pull back, only for me to see hot tears rolling down her cheeks.It hits me squarely in the chest then, how insensitive I've been.She was mistakenly drugged and here I was, about to tear her clothes apart simply be

    CHAPTER 92Stuck In A Tough Spot…Cornell Shock rippled through me upon hearing my uncle's announcement, but that wasn't even the most distressing thing.It's the fact that Elena was sitting next to me.I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't even bear to look in her direction, just glaring daggers at my mother.Was this why she wanted to host a family hangout so badly?I let them continue talking and finish the toast but on the inside, I was boiling.Didn't Mom see Elena sitting right beside me?!And even if they wanted to set me up, they should have at least spoken to me first!After the announcement, I mumbled to Elena. “I'll be right back, okay?”Dabbing my lips with the paper towel, I threw it down angrily on the table and walked over to my uncle who had wandered over to the wet bar to grab a drink.He was talking to someone over the phone so I stayed behind, hovering over his shoulder while I waited for him to round up.Once he did, I swooped in.Before I
