LOGINSean sat at the end of the meeting table. His eyes were fixed intently on the presentation screen that displayed numbers and graphs. The voice of one of the directors speaking in front of him sounded like a monotonous background. His mind was preoccupied with business strategy, but his peace was disturbed when his cell phone vibrated on the table.Sean glanced at the phone's screen. An unfamiliar number appeared, but he ignored it. The vibration stopped, only to return a few seconds later. Sean took a short breath and put the phone down firmly on the table, signalling no one to disturb him.However, the sudden knock on the door brought silence to the room. Jake entered with quick steps, something serious on his face. Sean raised his hand and stopped the presentation."What's going on, Jake?" he asked flatly, though his eyes betrayed impatience.Jake leaned closer and whispered in Sean's ear. "There is an urgent matter concerning Miss Elena that you should know about, sir."Sean's eyes
Elena sat on the edge of the bed. Her eyes were fixed on the mirror across the room. Her face looked paler than usual, and her eyes were filled with fear. She'd been thinking about it for days, racking her brain for a way to escape. But every scenario that came to her mind always failed. Sean was too strong, too powerful. There was no place in the world he couldn't find.But this time, Elena decided to try. She knew the risks, but the fear of losing her baby far outweighed the fear of Sean. She took a deep breath and calmed herself before organizing her first steps.It started with buying a new cell phone number. Elena waited until everyone in the house was busy with tasks before sneaking out to the shop down the street. She carefully chose a SIM card, ensuring no one recorded her purchase. Using her new number, she called someone she hadn't spoken to in a while."Clara, it's me, Elena," she said quietly, trying to keep her tone calm. "I need your help."Clara, an old friend with conn
Elena sat at the dining table. Her eyes were fixed on the empty plate before her. Her stomach was churning, not only because of the nausea she had been experiencing lately but also because of the tension in the room. Sean sat across from her, reading something on his phone while occasionally lifting his coffee cup.The table was full of food, including the grilled meat as the main course. The smell of the food, which usually didn't bother her, now felt like an unavoidable attack. Elena squeezed her hands under the table, trying to control herself."Why don’t you touch your food?" Sean asked suddenly, lifting his eyes from the phone. His look was sharp, full of curiosity.Elena gasped, then tried to smile. "I'm not in the mood to eat," she replied.Sean was still looking at Elena, his gaze showing disbelief."Is something bothering you?" the man asked flatly, yet demandingly.As much as possible, Elena searched for answers that made sense. She didn't want Sean to get suspicious and eve
Elena stood in front of the mirror and looked anxiously at her reflection. Her eyes focused on her stomach, which still looked flat. Nothing had changed yet, but she knew it was only a matter of time. Her mind kept spinning, imagining many possibilities. She slowly held her stomach, fear creeping through her body."What should I do?" she whispered, barely audible.She didn't dare tell Sean. If Sean knew, he would consider it a violation of their agreement. Elena also didn't have the money to pay for double her mother's medical expenses—something Sean would surely demand if he felt betrayed.But terminating the pregnancy was not an option. She couldn't do that, no matter how complicated the situation.That day, Elena locked herself in her room and tried to find a way out. Time passed without her noticing, and the restlessness that enveloped her became more and more suffocating. She didn't know how much longer she could hide this secret.Night fell, and heavy footsteps told her that Sea
During the mourning time, Sean was rarely home. His busy out-of-town work schedule meant that he often came home late at night or not at all. When he did come home, Sean always seemed exhausted, his face radiating a sorrow he never expressed. He went straight into the room, and when Elena tried to greet him with a seductive outfit, Sean glanced at her and said, "Change your clothes and go to bed!"It was good for Elena. When she was grieving, fate seemed to give her time to rest. She didn't have to serve Sean. Her feelings were still in turmoil.That night, Elena still waited. She looked at his peaceful face as Sean fell asleep with silent breaths. There was no sign of the usual dominance or control radiating from his face. Elena caressed Sean's face slowly, her fingers trailing Sean’s firm jaw."What's got you so tired?" she whispered, not expecting an answer.A strange feeling of pity washed over her. Sean, who usually seemed so strong, now looked fragile. Elena closed her eyes, hug
"Who called you?" Sean awoke to Elena's voice. His sleep had been interrupted. He was already preparing to rage until he heard Elena's answer."That was Dr. Evans. He said my mother's condition has worsened," Elena replied in a choked voice. "I have to go to the hospital right away."Sean looked at Elena for a moment before answering. "I'll drive you."Elena wanted to refuse, but there was no time to argue. She nodded slowly."Go on, get cleaned up. You couldn't have come to the hospital in that state, could you?" Sean ordered.Elena got out of bed quickly. She cleaned herself up soon because she was afraid of being late. When she came out, she didn't see Sean in the room. After changing her clothes, Elena grabbed her bag and hurried out."Esme, have you seen Sean?" asked Elena when she met her servant.Looking a bit confused, Esme then pointed behind Elena. "Mr. Blackwood is over there," she replied when she saw Sean walking quickly out of one of the rooms.Elena turned around and sa
The sound of splashing water woke Elena from her deep sleep. She blinked slowly, then furrowed her brow."God!" Elena groaned at the headache and hangover that hit her.Not only was she dizzy, but she could feel her whole body breaking down. All her joints felt stiff, and all the discomfort was cen
Sean Blackwood never expected to bring home the woman he met by chance. The woman who captured his attention from the moment they met in the hospital. The second accident at the club seems to be a clue that there is a hand of fate in their meeting.The intoxicating hot kisses and the sensual warm t
Elena wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face. She took a deep breath, then opened the door roughly. Her heart was hurt and filled with anger. Elena entered the room, startling the couple who had just finished making love."Elena?" Josh spontaneously pulled away from Bianca's embrace
"Please wait here, you'll be called when it's your turn," a woman in light blue said to Elena Wilson after work."Thank you." Elena lifted her lips. She sat in a waiting chair in front of the room where she would conduct the interview.Elena considered the interview a miracle amid the tragedy that
