ELISA

After my marriage with Damon, dad kept his promise and stepped down from his position, leaving me to take over as CEO.

I wanted to use my "busy nature," as an opportunity to avoid Damon but after that night he offered to drive me to work and back.

Ever since then it became a routine, and anytime he came to pick me up he brought a bouquet of roses along.

It felt nice being cared for like this, during my relationship with Derrick I had been the one putting all the effort and any small actions he made seemed like a big deal to me.

Maybe that's why this felt different.

Seeing the familiar black rolls royce parked Infront of the office building made my heart swell with joy.

"Hey." He greeted me as usual handing me the flowers.

"Thank you." I took it from his hands my face heating up in the process, as I sniffed the roses to inhale their scents.

It's been three months since I broke down completely in front of this man yet he never brought up the matter.

Instead he just stuck to my sid

    ELISAThe surgery in progress light was still on, I checked my phone and saw it was almost midnight, at this point I was casting glances at Damon.The voices would soon start, if he reacted in front of Jenna it would be bad, but I can't leave Jenna right now, not the one moment she needs me the most.I was conflicted racking my brain to find a suitable excuse to give to let Damon go for hours and return later.11:30, Damon opened his eyes and looked at me before walking towards where Jenna and I sat down."Jewel, I have to go back home, I know your cousin is in distress but both of you need to eat something, I'll go back home and try to whip something up." "Oh, okay." I answered absentmindedly, why didn't I think of that.Jenna's face was buried in my chest as I patted her back gently."Will you be okay on your own?" I asked, I know he understood what I meant."I'll be fine, look after Jenna." Damon stated and placed a soft kiss on my forehead."Take care of yourself." I said feeling

    ELISA With the disruption removed, the celebration continued as before, for now I was satisfied with Adam's action.At least I know he was not a spineless fool and could protect Aunt Lily well.My gaze went to Jenna, her eyes were still fastened on the exit and when she thought no one was looking, she slipped away.I decided not to say anything, that bastard was her father, she just needs some closure.Turning back I went to the bathroom as I originally intended to, by the time I returned the party was the same like it was never interrupted.Damon stood awkwardly with Liam in his arms, the kid on the other hand seemed oblivious to his uncle's awkwardness and just played with his hands, the moment he saw me his face lit up and he stretched out for me."Hey kiddo." I greeted him as I took him into my hands, Damon muttering a thank you to me while I chuckled, he was so cute."Aunty, where were you?" Liam asked with a tiny pout and I rubbed his hair, my nephew was so adorable."Aunty had

    ELISAI left the kid behind and walked back towards the ball, my blood boiled to see Aiden holding my aunt by her wrists.How the fuck did he get in here?My eyes trailed to Adam, I wanted to see what he could do before taking any action.(RECOMMENDED SONG: MINEFIELDS BY FAOUZIA, JOHN LEGEND)*********Adam moved in front of Lily, his cold gaze shooting daggers at Aiden."What makes you think you have any right to touch her?" He asked coldly.Aiden snorted glaring right back at Adam."What right do you have to interfere? Lily is just mad at me right now, she is doing this for her revenge, so step aside."Hearing his words, Adam couldn't help but chuckle."You're an old man, there's no need for you to be this delusional." He stated simply."This is no place for a scene, I'd like for you to leave." He didn't want to cause a scene in front of everyone, it was best to resolve this later."Jenna, are you going to stand and watch this man tear your family apart? He is the reason why your mo

    ELISAThe whole ballroom went silent with the announcement, before sound of claps slowly spread round the room.A foreign man with blonde hair and white streaks about, one made him look so refined, looks like there's someone else to compete with my dad in looks."Aren't you leaving anymore?" I turned to look at Damon who now looked relatively calmer than before."I'm fine now." He responded in a cool voice."We should go greet your aunt." He added before I could say anything more. Staring at Damon for a while, I bit my lip before sighing."Okay." I answered softly, I don't want him to strain himself and stay within those people because of me."I know you're worried but I'll be fine, your husband isn't that weak." Damon stated the moment he sensed my unease, giving me a light peck on my forehead.I smiled at him, letting him know that I got the message, as I gently squeezed his arms."Let's go." He ushered, with that, we proceeded to where my aunt was with her new partner, Jenna, Justi

    ELISA It's been a week since the incident, everything has been peaceful so far and we haven't heard from Damon's parents as well.The fact they went radio silent and moved out of the hotel they originally stayed in worried Damon to the core.He thought they were planning something dubious and hired bodyguards to hover around me.I protested against the idea because I did not like the idea of being followed but seeing the pure unease he had, in the end I relaxed and only allowed him to get 5 men than the 20 he originally planned to hire."Jewel are you done?" Damon asked as he entered the parlour, giving me a soft kiss on the cheek causing a smile to form on my face."Yeah, I am, I just need to pack my hair up." I responded ready to go back into the room.I had forgotten my hair tie here so I came to get it, we were currently preparing for ball, big names from all over the world were attending, it will be a good opportunity for me to extend the corporation's reach abroad."There's no

    ELISAThe room was silent, Damon finally calmed down, he was sitting down beside me refusing to let go of my hand.His reaction was weird, but I wanted to know why, no one acts like this without a reason."What's going on?" I finally asked, the tension and anxiety were killing me inside."Did my parents say anything?" He asked instead, not giving me the reply I wanted."You came just before they did." I answered after taking in a deep breath before my response.I really need him to talk to me, truthfully and come clean, his anger this afternoon, it felt like it was directed at me but not me at the same time."Then why did you leave?" He inquired starting to get on my nerves a bit."You held on my wrist too tight despite me struggling with you, I felt if I stayed you might end up doing something that we will both hate."I just needed some time out.Damon looked stunned, and looked at my wrist, caressing the faded red spot."That woman called me the devil right?" Damon spoke after a whi
