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 POVI 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 I cou
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
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,
Cannon’s POV....The project meeting that was supposed to be held next week, was declared to happen next day.When my PA informed me of that, I got all shocked for a moment. Though I felt it earlier that someone was behind it to get me out of this deal, but there was no way, I was going to back off.When at first I started trying to secure a place for me in the business world, my so called near one reminded me that there was no way, I could do it alone and I would have to get their help no matter what.It wasn't like I was so full of myself but it’s just I had belief on me and my abilities which made me utter straight to them, “I can and I will. You just watch me.”For the preparation of the next day meeting, I had to keep awake till late at night.Though it wasn’t like my first deal but was very important to me and I promised myself to give my full effort to get it.By the time I was done with my presentation, it was almost dawn.I took a short nap and then a long cold shower to get
....Elaine’s POV....While parking my car between the cars, I got my car bumped to the car which was in front of mine. I kept sitting for few moments being all startled. After some time, I got out of my car. Checking the broken parts of the car that I caused, I was getting afraid to face the owner of the car. So when a person got near and started checking the damaged car, I did not dare to look at him at first assuming him to be the owner and fearing to face his wrath.Later getting myself together, I apologised to him as I looked up at him only to get shocked.He also seemed to be shocked as well as he got uttering, “You?”I got all silent for a while.“Cannon?”Why it had to be him only!I had been trying for a long time to talk to him. Actually not me.. My heart was trying to convince me to accept the feelings for him that I had been feeling from the first day of our encounter and talk to him.But I could not get myself to do it for some reason. On top of that every time we enc
Cannon’s POV....From the time I got seated in my particular seat on the flight, I started feeling damn nervous. I felt like a kid who was about to take a flight for first time.Actually the reason behind my travel was getting me this nervous. I was going to ask for a lifetime deal with the specific one from which there would be no backing off.Without thinking the bad possibilities, I tried to get me mesmerised myself with her thoughts, our first meeting and so on.Not many knew about our relationship. It wasn’t my fault though. As not me but she wanted to keep it simple otherwise some journalists would hang around us and we would have been the gossips of people.I also didn’t want that because I always liked to keep the things that mattered to me only to me without sharing a soul.But I think Sam somehow knew though to some extent but never opened his mouth to ask me anything about it nor did I do that.Except Sam, she was my friend. Like a very good friend. I didn’t know how but she
....Cannon's POV....After checking into my room in the hotel, I rushed into the washroom to take a quick shower and then got outside.Evana was sitting on the couch with our breakfast. Smiling at her, I got near and took a seat in front of her.She was continuously talking about her photoshoots and all but nothing was really getting through me as all I did was staring at her. She looked all excited. After our breakfast, she left the hotel room uttering, "You take rest now. When I will be done with my work, I will call you. Bye."Normally in some other times, I also had some work here but this time, all I just came to talk to her.So, as she would be busy for few hours from now, I thought of taking a nap and laid down on my bed. While considering what exactly to say or how to say it, I fell asleep at some point.By the time I woke up, it was almost noon. I checked my phone but found no missed call or something.Getting freshen up, I called Evana but the phone was switched off.Thinki
