THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED Chapter 121
Elena’s POVMorning came in quietly.I woke before Damien and stayed still long enough to listen to the house. No noise from the street, he shifted but did not fully wake, so I left him there and went to the kitchen.The kettle clicked under my hand. I took down two cups out of habit, then smiled at myself for assuming. He would want one anyway.By the time he appeared, the tea was ready.“You’re up early,” he said.“You always say that.”“It’s often true.”I held out his cup. “Drink before you start inspecting the house.”He took it, leaned against the counter, and studied me over the rim. “You seem lighter.”“I slept.”“That helps.”“It does.”Damien’s POVThe morning stayed easy.We moved around each other without ceremony. Elena buttered bread. I checked messages and put the phone away when she sat down across from me. There was no need to fill the silence. After the previous night, silence felt earned.“Any plans today?” I asked.“Rest. Maybe call Lila. She wasn’t there last nigh
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED Chapter 120
Elena’s POVThe restaurant doors closed behind us with a soft final sound.Outside, the night air was cooler than I expected. Damien kept his hand at my back as we walked to the car. Neither of us said much. The evening had already held enough words.He opened the passenger door for me. I sat carefully, one hand over my stomach, and waited while he walked around to the driver’s side. When he got in, he glanced at me once before starting the engine.“Ready?” he asked.“Yes.”The city moved past the windows in quiet streaks of light. I watched it without really seeing it, my thumb brushing the underside of the new ring. Every so often Damien’s hand left the wheel at a red light and covered mine. He didn’t comment. I didn’t either. The silence was comfortable. Damien’s POVThe drive home was steady.Elena sat with her head turned toward the window, the ring catching light each time we passed under a streetlamp. I kept my attention on the road, but every few minutes I checked on her the
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED What He Told Them
Chapter 119Elena’s POVThe words my mother had spoken stayed in my chest like a second heartbeat.Damien had gone to my parents. Two weeks ago. He had sat in their living room and told them the truth about the contract without softening a single edge of it. He had apologized. And then he had told them he was going to ask me properly because he loved me. I stood near the side of the room with my mother’s hands still holding mine, the new ring cold and bright on my finger, and tried to decide whether I felt exposed or protected. Both, maybe. The two feelings refused to separate.Across the room, Damien was still speaking with Marcus, but his eyes kept finding mine. He knew something had shifted. Of course he knew. He always did.My mother gave my hands one last squeeze. “Talk to him,” she said quietly. “He didn’t tell us to hide it from you. He only asked us to let him be the one to ask the question first.”I nodded. My throat felt tight.When she stepped away, I didn’t move right awa
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED The Contract Revealed
Chapter 118Elena’s POVThe dessert sat half-finished between us when the side door finally opened.A single waiter crossed the empty room carrying a silver tray covered by a dark cloth. No flourish. No announcement. Just quiet steps and the soft clink of metal against metal. Damien’s eyes tracked the man the entire way. He didn’t look surprised. He looked ready.The waiter stopped beside our table, set the tray down with care, and stepped back without a word.I stared at the covered silver. The restaurant felt even quieter than before, as if the walls themselves were holding their breath. “Damien.”“Open it.”My fingers found the edge of the cloth. I lifted it slowly, half expecting another course, half already knowing it would not be food.Underneath sat a small black box, and beside it a folded card in thick cream paper. I opened the card first.The handwriting was Damien’s.Will you marry me?The words were simple. No poetry. No long explanation. Just the question, written like he
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED The Empty Restaurant
Chapter 117Elena’s POVThe entrance opened into silence.Not ordinary quiet. Arranged quiet. The kind that only existed when someone had cleared a place of every other customer on purpose. Soft lights ran along the walls in warm gold. A single long path of tables stretched toward the far end of the room, but only one was set.Ours.I stopped just inside the doorway.“Damien.”He stood beside me, one hand at my back. “Yes.”“There is no one else here.”“I know.”I looked from the empty chairs to the waiting staff, then back to him. “You rented the whole restaurant.”“I did.”A small disbelieving laugh left me. “Of course you did.”Damien’s POVShe walked in slowly, taking in every detail.The open room. The soft music under the lights. The single table dressed with care and nothing excess.I had told the manager exactly what I wanted: privacy without spectacle. No scattered roses everywhere. No performance that would make her feel watched by the effort itself. Just space enough for us
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED Get Dressed
Chapter 116Elena’s POVThursday morning started like any other.Damien was already dressed when I came into the kitchen, phone face down beside his plate. He poured juice into my glass before I asked for it and sat down as if the day were completely ordinary.“You’re quiet,” I said.“I’m thinking.”“About work?”“No.”I waited. He only buttered his toast.“That answer is suspicious,” I said.“It’s accurate.”Maria moved through the kitchen behind us, pretending not to listen and failing completely. Damien finished his breakfast, checked the time once, and looked at me over the rim of his cup.“Be ready by six,” he said.“Ready for what?”“We’re going out.”I set my fork down. “Out where?”“Dinner.”“That’s all you’re giving me?”“Yes.”Damien’s POVElena studied me the way she did when she knew I was holding something back and was deciding whether to push.“Is it work dinner?” she asked.“No.”“Family?”“No.”“Then what kind of dinner needs a time announcement at breakfast?”“The kin
