CHAPTER 9

Taken Flight At Dawn

Damien

The world felt blurry and dim as I stirred slowly. I winced as a dull pounding filled my head, the hangover from the night before hitting me raw and hard.

My throat was dry, my body heavy, and my thoughts clouded by an uncomfortable mix of grogginess and unease.

Something was missing, though I couldn’t put my finger on it. It gnawed at the edges of my mind, a faint echo of something important. What was it?

I eased up from my lying position slowly, and I squinted, trying to adjust my eyes to the light in the room.

My memories were fragmented, and all I could remember were bits and pieces.

A flash of Lily’s face. Elena’s voice. And then... nothing.

What had I been up to last night? I shook my head, forcing myself to my feet. I nearly stumbled, my hands gripped the edge of the bed with a death grip.

I sat for a long moment before I could trust my legs to move. I headed to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, the cool spray of the shower did little to

  • CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES    88 The conversation..

    CHAPTER 88The conversation..ElenaWaking up on my bed gave me a deja vu feeling… the type that makes you feel as though you woke up in the wrong place. I gasped once I realized that I was in my bedroom and, more importantly, when I saw Lily lying next to me, snoring peacefully.My heart beat picked up in rhythm, as bits and pieces of my memory came flooding back. For a moment, I could have sworn that I was being cornered by a car and some scary, mean-looking guys on the road, but all of a sudden… here I was.I sat up on the bed, careful not to jostle the beddings too much, so I didn't wake Lily up.Once I sat up, I realized that the clothes I wore were different from the ones I had worn to the hospital, which got me thinking…Was it all just some bad, awful dream?Or wasn't it?If so, then how did I get home?Or get changed?Confused, I stumbled out of bed and wandered down the living room only for me to come to a stop when I spotted Helen opening the door

  • CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES    87 Attack.

    CHAPTER 87Attack.Elena My shoes slapped on the tiles as I left the hospital. I was so distracted and caught up in my thoughts that I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. I walked over to my car, parked on the other side of the road, opened it up, and got in.It wasn't until I pulled onto the highway that the tears started rolling down my cheek, blurring my vision. So many thoughts flood my mind, most of them centered around Damien and Sophia, and well…their baby.I'm still in shock.Sadly, I got so caught up in my head that I didn't realize that a car had been tailing me for a long time, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.Unfortunately for me, it came sooner than I thought.Just when I was turning the corner of a lonely road, a dark blue sedan sped up and cut me off at the edge.Instantly, I snapped out of the funk I was in, my eyes widening in surprise. “What the hell?” I muttered under my breath, squinting at the car while pressing my h

    CHAPTER 86They're Pregnant!Elena I spent a few more minutes, fluffing my hair in front of a mirror, my eyes straying over the outfit I had picked out for the hospital visit. It was casual enough —a leather jacket thrown over a sundress, paired with sunglasses and a strappy sandal to complete the look.I tried hard not to think about what I was doing so instead I focused on something else.Cornell.Contrary to what he thought in the hotel, nothing happened between us as I seized the opportunity to ask some very urgent questions of my own. Like, where the hell did he disappear off to?I didn't know what I was expecting, but a part of me didn't think he would open up and tell me the truth, but he did. The sexual tension between us got steered into a night-long conversation where we both talked…deeply. He explained why he left so suddenly.According to him, his uncle, who was the owner of the company, practically forced him into taking ownership, and at that peri

    CHAPTER 85Surprise!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.Toothpaste, sponge, a bar of soap,

  • CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES    84: The store

    Chapter:84: The storeElenaBefore I could say a word, he bent slightly and swept me into his arms. I couldn’t protest.“Cornell!”“Your heels will sink into the mud,” he said, as if it were the most logical thing in the world. “I’m saving you from an untimely fall.”I wanted to argue. I should’ve argued. But there was something oddly warm about the gesture, despite the chill from the rain. He carried me the rest of the way to his car. The rain still managed to seep into my clothes though Cornell had covered me with his jacket. It was when I settled into my seat and Cornell got into his that I noticed how his wet shirt had stuck to his skin, showcasing his toned muscles. I just sat admiring the sight before me till he turned to look at me. Thinking I had been caught staring I was about to come up with an excuse when he asked that I fasten my seatbelt.The ride back wasn’t the smoothest as the rain’s downpour became heavy. Cornell still tried maneuvering our way through the rain stor

  • CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES    83: far away

    Chapter:83: far away ElenaI stumbled back, nearly dropping my tablet.Cornell only smirked, a slow, deliberate curl of his lips that promised this was far from over.“Do my lips entice you that much,” he said with a satisfied expression on his face. But before I could say anything the elevator doors swung open. Grabbing my hand again he led me out. Luckily the office ground floor was half empty and there were few eyes seeing us make our way out. “Where are we going?” I asked, stumbling slightly in my heels as he led me toward the glass doors.“To dinner,” he said, not even glancing back.“Dinner where? That wasn’t just some figure of speech?” I asked, jogging to match his strides.“You’ll find out when we get there.”We got to the parking lot, leaving my hand, he got ahead and opened the door of his sleek black Mercedes for me, gesturing with his head, “Come on, get in.” I sighed dramatically, slipping into the passenger seat. “This had better be worth the suspense.” He chuckle
