Elena’s POV
The car moved through the dark streets. Damien’s hand stayed on my plush thigh, his fingers digging in possessively as he muttered, “You’re mine now.” The promise he had whispered earlier still hung heavy in the air. My body was on fire. My full breasts rose and fell quickly. Heat pooled between my legs. I was aching for him.
But Damien suddenly leaned forward and spoke to the driver. “Change of plans. Take us to Oakwood Cottage. Elena’s parents’ house.”
I turned to him, surprised. “Tonight?”
He nodded, his hand still gripping my thigh. “Yes. Tonight. No more delays. We tell them the news. We make this real. One night. One family.”
The driver turned the car smoothly toward my old neighborhood. I felt a fresh wave of guilt wash over me. My parents had no idea what was really happening. They thought this was a genuine, sudden love story. I hated lying to them.
Damien’s POV
Elena looked tense beside me. Her curvy body was warm under my hand. I could feel her soft thigh trembling slightly. She was nervous about telling her parents. I squeezed her thigh gently. This was necessary. My father wanted proof. We had to sell the story tonight.
Elena’s POV
We pulled up to Oakwood Cottage twenty minutes later. The modest two-story house had warm lights glowing from the windows. The driver opened the door for us. Damien stepped out first and offered me his hand. His arm wrapped protectively around my waist as we walked up the path. His fingers pressed into my soft hip.
Mom opened the door before we could knock. Her eyes widened when she saw us. “Elena? And… Mr. Kane? At this hour?”
Dad appeared behind her. Both of them looked stunned.
“Come in, come in,” Mom said quickly, ushering us inside. The living room smelled like fresh coffee and the apple pie she always baked when nervous. “Sit down, sit down. I just took an apple pie out of the oven. Let me get you both some coffee and a slice. You look like you need it after a long day.”
We sat on the old couch. Damien’s arm stayed around my shoulders. His thumb stroked my soft upper arm. Mom brought warm slices of apple pie and two mugs of coffee.
The sweet cinnamon smell filled the room. Damien took a bite and his eyes lit up.
“This is delicious, Mrs. Voss,” he said sincerely. “Best apple pie I’ve had in years. Thank you.”
Mom beamed. “Thank you, Mr. Kane. It’s an old family recipe. I’m glad you like it.”
We ate together. The warm pie and coffee helped ease some of the tension. Damien complimented the meal again. “The cinnamon is perfect. Really comforting after a long day.”
Mom smiled proudly. “I’m happy you enjoyed it. So tell us… what brings you both here tonight?”
I took a deep breath. “Mom, Dad… Damien and I are engaged.”
Silence filled the room.
Mom’s hand flew to her mouth. “Engaged? All of a sudden after all these years?”
Dad leaned forward, frowning. “You’ve been working for him for four years, Elena. And now marriage? Just like that?”
They were happy but worried. Mom reached for my hand. “Sweetheart, we’re thrilled if you’re happy. But this is so sudden. Are you sure? Marriage is serious. You’ve seen how he lives… the papers, the parties…”
Damien’s POV
I spoke calmly. “I know my reputation. But Elena changed everything. She knows me better than anyone. She’s the only woman who has ever truly seen me. I want to build a life with her.”
I meant the words more than I expected. Elena’s soft body beside me felt right. This was becoming more than a contract.
Elena’s POV
His words sounded so sincere. My heart ached. I hated hiding the contract from the people who had always been honest with me.
Mom smiled warmly but her eyes were still concerned. “We just want you safe and loved, Elena. You deserve the world. Damien we’ve seen the stories. Can you promise you’ll take care of our daughter?”
“I promise,” Damien said without hesitation. His hand rested on my soft waist. “She’s mine to protect now.”
Dad studied us for a long moment. “Well if you’re both sure. We’ll support you. But don’t rush. Take time to be certain.”
The conversation continued for a while longer. Mom asked about wedding plans. Dad asked about my future now that I was no longer his secretary. We talked about how we fell in love, how Damien had finally seen me after four years.
I answered carefully, feeling guilt twist deeper with every word. Every time Damien called me “darling” or touched my curves protectively, the guilt grew heavier.
It felt like a warm family moment, but the secret weighed on me like a stone.
After the long conversation, Mom stood up.
“Elena, come help me in the kitchen for a moment, dear. I want to talk to you alone.”
Damien and Dad stayed in the living room for their own conversation. I followed Mom into the kitchen.
She closed the door softly behind us.
“Elena,” she said softly, her voice full of worry as she took both my hands. “He looks at you like he wants to devour you… is this really love, sweetheart? You can tell me the truth. We’re your parents. We only want what’s best for you. Is this what you truly want? You’ve always been so responsible, so careful. This feels very fast. Are you sure you’re not rushing into something because of his world, or the pressure? I saw how he looked at you tonight. It’s intense. But is it real love? The kind that lasts? The kind that will make you happy for the rest of your life?”
Her words hung in the air. I froze, unsure how to answer. The guilt felt heavier than ever.
Damien and Robert talk in the living room, leaving Elena struggling to respond as the weight of her secret presses down on her.

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
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED Ordinary Happiness
Chapter 115Elena’s POVStability arrived quietly.It did not announce itself with a big conversation or a sudden emotional breakthrough. It came through repeated ordinary days that did not turn into crises. Morning tea. Shared breakfast. Damien leaving with a kiss to the side of my head and returned when he said he would. The new house stopped feeling like a careful arrangement and started feeling like a place we lived in.One morning I caught myself humming in the kitchen and paused, surprised.Maria noticed. “That is a good sound.”“I didn’t realize I was doing it.”“That is how healing often looks,” she said.”I smiled into my cup and let the moment stay simple.Damien’s POVConsistency was the only promise that mattered now.I structured my days around it. No disappearing into late meetings without warning. No assuming Elena would adapt around my silence. If work threatened to spill over, I told her before it did. If I was tired, I said so instead of letting distance do the talki
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED Settling In
Chapter 114Elena’s POVMorning in the new house felt almost normal.I woke before Damien’s alarm and listened to the quiet. No tight feeling in my chest. No sudden urge to check the doorway. Just soft light on unfamiliar walls and the low sound of the city far below. When I finally got up, I found him in the kitchen making tea.“You’re up early,” he said.“So are you.” “I wanted to reset the security panel before work calls start.”I sat at the counter and rested one hand over the clearer curve of my stomach. “Some things never change.”He glanced at me, and for a second the old rhythm was there. Easy. Familiar. Then he set the cup in front of me and leaned against the counter, less playful than before.“I missed this,” he said.“Tea?”“You sitting here like this.”The words were casual, but he did not leave them shallow. He looked at me properly and added, “I also know I hurt you. We can’t just slide back into the old version of us and call it repaired. For a while, we’re going to
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED After the Guests
Chapter 113Elena’s POVThe party did not end all at once.It thinned.First my father went outside to take a call. Maria packed leftover food into containers with the kind of efficiency that meant the evening was turning toward goodbye. The music dropped so low it almost disappeared. One by one, the loud edges of celebration softened into private conversations and half-finished hugs.I remained on the sofa with my hands around a warm cup, watching the house shift from crowded to calm.Damien looked over at me from across the room. I gave a small nod. I was tired, but I was not drowning.Damien’s POVI could see the exhaustion settling under Elena’s eyes.Not regret. Not panic. Just the weight of an emotional night.I kept the farewells orderly and short. No speeches. No dragging the evening past her limit. When Mr Voss shook my hand, his grip was firm.“Take care of my daughter.” he said.“I will.”Sophia hugged Elena longer than necessary and whispered something that made her smile
THE WIFE HE NEVER EXPECTED The Welcome Party
Chapter 112Elena’s POVThe house did not settle after the surprise.It opened. Voices filled the living room in overlapping layers of warmth and curiosity. Plates moved from Maria’s hands to the table. My sister inspected every corner like she was scoring the furniture. Lila kept close enough to catch me if my emotions tipped too far in either direction. My parents sat where they could watch both me. Damien’s mother remained in the armchair with a quiet dignity that still carried old complexity. Marcus stood near the window, present without needing attention.I sat on the sofa with a plate I had not asked for and tried to keep up with the love coming at me from every side.Damien’s POVI stayed near for Elena to see me, not to cage her.That balance mattered tonight. She had walked into this house by choice, not force, and I was not going to turn the celebration into another form of pressure. When Maria looked to me for direction, I told her to follow Elena’s pace. When the music edg
