As much as Elaine was determined to talk to Cannon, her determination cracked when she remembered that night.Still, she tried for a few times but as soon as Cannon came into her sight, she backtreated. She just didn't know where she should start or how she would tell all these to him.After one week when they got back to New York, they were back to their earlier life. Cannon was busier than before with his business and the new responsibilities and Elaine was with her boutique shop. She still considering what to do with the company which was actually hers.Among all these, one thing was changed. Elaine didn't wait for Cannon to return home anymore to get dinner together. Cannon felt relieved and confused at the same time but didn't say anything to her.It was not like Elaine did not want to. She wanted to but the smell of food was getting difficult for her to take. When days started passing with persistent dizziness and nausea, a thought crossed Elaine's mind only to get her scared,
That night after the party when Cannon got back, Elaine wasn't still back to the suite. He remembered her saying that she wasn't feeling well and going back to the suite. He wanted to accompany her but Elaine strictly said not to follow her.He tried to finish early there but couldn't. It seemed being the leader of the Elite Panel demanded much time not to mention the uncalled responsibilities. He called Elaine immediately but the phone got buzzing on the bedside table too much for his irritation.Cannon got changed shrugging and got on the bed with an intention to sleep it off but things didn't go this way as her pale face got flashing in his mind.He remembered her face when she left the hall room. She didn't look normal to him, not even sick or something. He mentally groaned. From the day of their last argument, Elaine used to roam around the city whenever she felt like it. Cannon also didn't say anything but today it was getting too much. Cannon looked at the ticking wall clock as
Elaine's POV I don't really make assumptions about people. Judging someone is not my thing but still, I was judging Aiden. Did he do something with Cannon that day to make him behave like that? As in his sober self, Cannon never once looked at me that way except for pretense time. He had stopped showing his resentment for me but the bitterness was still there in our relationship, I could feel. His word from earlier got ringing what he said so casually that day when I destroyed some part of his car. "Whenever we meet, something unpleasant happens." I shouldn't have got involved in his life. I shouldn't have. He considered me a friend for once but now I was on his hate list. Alcohol, drug, or whatever made him crave, I should have stopped him. I knew he wasn't in his sense. Still, I allowed him to make love to me.. I got snapped out of my thought when I heard a soft voice. "Elaine?" his voice was so tender that I couldn't help yelling at him, venting out my frustration on him. But
Cannon's POVSending Elaine back in the suite, I kept walking following the way, we walked together earlier as I got asking myself, "What am I doing actually?"My life was just a series of unfortunate events from the very beginning. Just when I thought it was going to be fine from now, it took another disastrous turn.I didn't know how long I kept walking being lost in my thought. When I realized, I have already come too far from our hotel, I thought of going back. But then Sam called me. I took a cab and made my way to the hotel while talking to Sam. Arriving at the hotel, I didn't get to the hotel room knowing Elaine must be waiting for me and we would have to share the same bed. I sat in the courtyard as I got my actions again, considering.__It was already morning when I got back to the hotel.I was supposed to attend a meeting with one of the companies, I signed a project with. I tried to make less of a sound thinking Elaine must be sleeping but got her awake.Glancing at the
Elaine's POV "I am sorry." Cannon uttered and headed to the table. He took a file and gave me a side glance, "I forgot the file here." And then he was gone. I let out a breath, I didn't know I was holding. His all gentleman behaviour was making me feel even more guilty about that night. I just couldn’t tell him all this no matter how much I wanted or tried. After wearing a blue dress, I kept pacing in the room as that night kept bothering me. The growling sound of my stomach made me snapped out of my thoughts. Feeling hungry, I considered whether to order or just go outside to take my breakfast. A knock came on the door and I thought it was Cannon again. Proving me wrong, a voice came, "Room service." I made my way to the door only to find the boy carrying my breakfast. "Ma'am, Mr. Henderson ordered for this." I nodded and took the packets from him. I took my breakfast sitting on the private terrace while seeing the city down. When I was done, I thought of getting a tour of t
EIaine's POVI never thought things would be like this tonight. Cannon wasn't behaving rudely with me like he normally used to do. Even we took our dinner outside together. After we got out of the restaurant, he stopped a cab. Opening the door, he turned to me.I knew he had already been too good to me today but I wanted to be greedy and have him like this for some more time. "What? Get in." His voice pulled me out of my thoughts."Can we walk for a while?" I voiced out my thought well aware he wouldn't agree and yell at me most probably.But things didn't go as per my anticipation.Cannon seemed to give it a thought and then closing the door, he walked ahead to the driver, "Sorry. Please go ahead."Too much to my astonishment, he agreed to take a walk with me through the city of Paris. It was for the first time, Cannon took me somewhere as per my wish, not because of any pretense. Maybe it was nothing to him but I felt like I was progressing with him! This thought got a smile on m
