CHAPTER 4

(Elisa's POV)

It had only been a week since the envoys visited but I was already being asked to move into the Greyhound's estate to assist in wedding preparations. I didn't even get to bid my father a proper goodbye before I was whisked away by the drive. Upon arrival I was greeted and received by the estate's staffs, not a single family member in sight. I was silently ushered in by the maids. I tried making conversation. “So…where are all the family members?” But my attempt was met with hostile glares and more silence. After being settled in my room I decided to give myself a tour of the estate since no one offered. Just as I had made my way to the west wing, voices erupted causing me to seek the source of the commotion only to find Mr Greyhound yelling at Damian whilst he laid in bed, disheveled with an unfamiliar woman by his side.

I didn't notice when my lips move on impulse. “Disgusting” I voiced, my voice louder than intended. All eyes turned to me in shock as they hadn't anticipated my arrival. “Elisa!” Damian called out from the comfort of another woman's arms, his lips smudged with kiss marks. “What are you doing here?” His asked with a guilty expression on his face. “It's not what you think…I”

“SHUT UP!!!” Mr Greyhound interrupted before turning to me with dissatisfaction written all over his face. “Didn't your father ever teach you not to but into other people's business? Don't involve yourself in matters that don't concern you. Now leave” he commanded, shoving me out the door, leaving no room for resistance as he slammed the door right in my face. I stormed off in annoyance. “Despicable!!!” I screamed internally as I violently kicked an inbuilt bookshelf that seemed carelessly tucked away by the end of a dark hallway. Before I could even backtrack and understand how I had gotten here, a crick echoed across the hallway as the bookshelf opened up, revealing a secret passage hidden within the walls.

My curiosity took root as I stepped into the passage, the door slamming shut behind me. I had only taken a few steps when I was ambushed by a group of maids. “You're the new girl sent by madam Chasity right?” Before I could even respond and clarify the misunderstanding, I was dragged along with them as we approached a strange door within the passage. She took out a rusted key, unlocking the door and shoving me inside. “Remember, success in pleasing the young master will be rewarded but his dissatisfaction could cost you your life” and just like that, she left.

I had been abandoned in a pitch black room without a single explanation, or instructions on what to do next. I stumbled my way through the room, barely able to see anything. I stubbed my toe on the bedframe causing me to stumbled backwards, unknowingly bumping into what felt like a man's chest. “Who are you?” I questioned, readying myself to attack. “So you're the new girl Chasity sent? Is that right?” He voiced, grabbing me by the waist, pulling us closer together. “Sir, there seems to have been a misunderstanding, I'm not…”

“Shuuu, be quiet” he interrupted as his hands roamed freely around my body, caressing my curves as he spun me around, burying his face in the crook of my neck, pressing his chest against my back whilst still holding me tightly, gently fondling my breasts. “You have a nice figure” he whispered softly in my ear as gentle kisses followed suite, trailing down my neck. Without changing our position, he reached forward and claimed my lips in a deep kiss that left my knees weak. “Wait, stop” I spoke, abruptly ending the kiss. “I'm really not the girl you're…” I paused as his next words escaped his mouth in form of an order. “Get on your knees” he commanded, gradually undressing himself as he pulled off his belt, forcing me to my knees as he rapped the leather belt loosely around my neck. “Go on” he urged, tugging roughly at the belt, waiting expectantly for me to take the next step. Feeling hesitant, I thought of refusing until I recalled the image of Damian in bed with that woman. “It's only fair to have some fun as well” I muttered to myself, ready to leave my dignity behind as I cheerfully reached for the bulge in his pants, letting my fingers roam wild as I pulled out his already hardened d**k, teasing the tip with my tongue as I marvelled at his size. “Suck it” he ordered whilst grabbing a firm hold of my hair, yanking my head backwards. “Suck it and don't stop until I tell you to” feeling amused, I obliged, preparing to demonstrate my skills. His muffed groans filled the room as he repeatedly thrusted into my mouth, rocking my head back and forth, his grip on my hair tightening even more. I kept going until my eyes began to dim from lack of oxygen as he was ludged deeply into my throat. “Stop” I muttered inaudibly, desperate to breathe. “What? Can't handle it a little rough?” He mocked, yanking me up by my hair, pinning me against the wall. “i have no intention of being gentle with you, so if you can't sit pretty and take it like a good girl, then you're welcome to leave, but making that decision might cost you your life, because I don't like it very much when women walk out on me, especially during intimacy” “so…what's it going to be?” I smirked lightly as I answered his question by shoving him to the bed. “Then it seems I have no choice but to please you tonight, you can use me however you see fit and I'll ensure to ride you like my life depends on it” I responded, my clothes slowly falling to the floor layer by layer as I got on top of him, smiling in satisfaction as I buckled his belt around his arms, restraining him to the bed as I positioned myself, ready to take full control.

    Her voice remained small. Hurt. Uncertain.Vulnerable.Damian took a deep breath.Wiping her tears gently.And then— in a single movement.He reached into his pocket, pulled out a ring box, and got down on one knee. Right in front of her.Elisa went completely still.He opened the box.The diamond dazzled under the office lights.“Elisa,” he said softly, affectionately. “This is what I meant.”Her breath caught in her throat.“Damian—” she whispered, stunned.“No,” he interrupted gently but firmly. “Please. Let me speak this time. I actually have a lot to say.”His voice was steady now—but emotional.He looked up at her with sincerity so raw it made her chest ache.“You once told me,” he continued, “when we reunited after the conference… that Luca is your priority. That his approval matters above all else. So I did exactly what you asked. I won him over. I earned his trust. I made sure he accepted me.”His voice trembled slightly.“Luca shouldn’t be a concern anymore. He is more than

  • LOVE BENEATH RIVALRY    CHAPTER 151

    Elisa had been worried the very second Damian’s tone shifted.There had been something different about it—something low, steady, and impossibly serious that didn’t belong to casual conversation. It had threaded through her chest and tightened there, coiling around her heart until she could barely breathe.So she quickly obliged.Without asking too many questions—because questions felt dangerous when his voice sounded like that—she ushered him along with a small, polite gesture of her hand, leading him toward her in-house office. Her heels clicked against the marble floor, each step echoing far louder than usual, as though the house itself sensed the weight of what was about to unfold.She went in first.And he followed.The door shut behind them with a firm, deliberate click.She heard it.She felt it.A sound too final.She turned around just as he had closed it fully, his hand lingering on the handle for a brief second longer than necessary, as if steadying himself.The room suddenl

    The next morning dawns quietly over Elisa’s estate, sunlight filtering through tall, ivory curtains and spilling in pale gold ribbons across the marble floors of the dining hall. The world outside felt deceptively peaceful—birds chirp, a fountain trickled softly in the courtyard—but inside, something far more volatile brewed beneath the calm.Elisa sat at the long breakfast table, porcelain cup poised between delicate fingers. Across from her, Luca swung his small legs under his chair, humming softly to himself, entirely at ease after the emotional reconciliation of the previous night. The fragile tension that had once clung to the estate felt lighter now, though Elisa’s heart still carried the faint aftershock of everything she had endured.The television mounted on the far wall played softly in the background—until suddenly the tone shifted.A sharp chime. A red banner flashed across the screen.Breaking News.The anchor’s urgent voice filled the room.Three prominent families—the H

    He remained silent for a while.“…You’re asking me to lie to her.”“I’m asking you to help me, for mommy's sake” Luca corrected softly.That shouldn’t have hurt.But it did.Damian sighed.“…Alright.”Luca’s eyes brightened slightly.“Pinky promise?”Damian stared at the tiny finger extended toward him.“You drive a hard bargain,” he muttered.“Pinky promise,” Luca insisted.Damian chuckled softly as he obliged, linking fingers with the child.“I promise.”In the moment he was instantly snapped out of his thoughts by Elisa panicked voice.“Damian?”Her voice snapped him back to the present.“Why aren’t you answering me?” she asked instantly, panic creeping into her tone. “Is it because Luca is still mad at me?”Damian blinked.“No,” he said quickly. “Not at all. I was just lost in thought.”But he remained silent after that.And she noticed.She always noticed.Her worry didn’t fade.And guilt began to settle in his chest.Because he was hiding something.Her own son.Her own child.B

    It took a long time.Not minutes.Not a brief comforting moment.It felt like hours.Hours of quiet reassurances.Hours of tiny hiccupping sobs.Hours of a five-year-old clinging like he was afraid that if he loosened his grip even slightly, the world would collapse around him.Damian remained seated on the edge of the bed, Luca in his arms, gently rocking him back and forth.“Breathe,” Damian murmured softly. “Just breathe slowly. In and out. Like this. See? Just like how I'm doing it.”Luca sniffled loudly, trying to mimic the breathing pattern but failing miserably and dissolving into another hiccup.“You’re bad at breathing,” Luca muttered through tears, half-accusatory.Damian blinked.“I’m bad at breathing?”“Yes,” Luca insisted weakly. “You breathe too big. It makes my chest hurt.”For a moment, despite the weight in his chest, Damian almost laughed.“I apologize,” he replied solemnly. “I’ll try to breathe smaller.”That earned him the tiniest watery glare.Luca sniffed again,

    The silence between them did not ease.It thickened.Damian remained seated beside the small trembling figure, his hands resting loosely on his knees, though inside him nothing felt steady. Luca’s words still echoed in the room — not loud, not shouted — but heavy. The kind of words that do not belong in the mouth of a five-year-old.Damian was momentarily speechless.Not because he didn’t have an answer.But because he suddenly understood that whatever he said next would shape something fragile inside this child.He inhaled slowly, steadying himself.When he finally managed to compose himself, he spoke gently.“Why would you jump to such a conclusion?” he asked, his voice low and careful, though emotion threaded quietly beneath it. “Why would you think something like that? What made you believe that things would happen that way?”Under the blanket, Luca shifted.He peeked out in confusion — wide eyes swollen from crying, lashes clumped together with tears. For a moment, it seemed like
