DAMIEN

Hayes calls back at 2 AM with an update that changes everything.

"Sir, we brought in David Holt for questioning. He has an alibi for tonight. After he delivered a package to someone around the restaurant, he was at a halfway house in Brooklyn, with a mandatory check-in at seven PM, and didn't leave until this morning. Multiple witnesses and security footage are confirming it."

I sit up in bed, careful not to wake Elara. "You're sure?"

"Positive. Whatever connection he has to your father,

  • TWISTED OBESSION: MY FIANCE CHEATED SO I SLEPT WITH HIS BOSS   Chapter 145

    ELARAThe board meeting is exactly the performance Damien predicted. I watch as board members express their "grave concern" about the federal investigation. They discuss the "reputational damage" to Cross Enterprises.As they delicately suggest that perhaps Damien should "take some time away" until the matter is resolved. Damien lets them talk, allowing them to think they're in control. Then he opens his mouth and addressed them. "I agree."The room goes silent immediately he utters that. "The SEC investigation is serious and requires my full attention.I can't effectively lead Cross Enterprises while simultaneously defending against false accusations of securities fraud." Damien stands, commanding the room effortlessly."Therefore, effective immediately, I'm taking a voluntary leave of absence as CEO." Shocked murmurs around the table. "However," Damien continues, "I retain my position as majority shareholder and Chairman of the Board. All major strategic decisions still require my a

    DAMIEN"She suspected that," Walter confirms. "And when she tried to bring it to our attention, Mr. Cross began a campaign of harassment and intimidation. He used his resources to make Elena look unstable, unreliable. He tried to destroy her credibility before she could expose his crimes.""That's why we filed our complaint," Rosalind continues. "We're terrified for Elena's safety. Mr. Cross has already shown he's willing to break the law to protect his interests. What's to stop him from harming our daughter to keep her quiet?"The reporter's next question is drowned out by others shouting over each other.Hayes pauses the video. "It's playing on every major news outlet. They're positioning Elena as a whistleblower who's being persecuted for trying to expose corporate fraud."I stare at the screen, at Elara's parents selling out their own daughter to protect the one who's actually committing crimes."It's brilliant," I say quietly. "Sickening, but brilliant. Elena creates evidence of

    ELARAOn the screen of the laptop is Elena, sitting in a coffee shop, typing on a laptop. The timestamps match the threatening emails exactly."She's impersonating Mr. Cross while simultaneously claiming he's harassing her," Dr. Kim continues. "Classic DARVO...Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender."Detective Morrison is quiet for a long moment, studying the evidence."What about the witness statements?" she asks finally. "People claim they've seen you or your security team following Elena." "They've seen security personnel," Damien admits. "After Elena orchestrated a plot with my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend to harm her and hacked into my company's systems, yes...I had her under surveillance. That's not harassment. That's protecting myself and my company from a known threat.""Do you have documentation of these prior incidents?"Hayes opens the second briefcase. "Lucas Reed's arrest records. Elena Blake's confession at Katherine Morrison's law office, yes, we have that recorded. Va

    DAMIEN"That's insane...""Is it? I'm a woman who was hired to stalk and harass someone, then nearly killed by the person who hired me. My credibility is already destroyed." Vanessa's smile is bitter. "Elena thought of that too."I look at Elara. She's staring at Vanessa's phone in my hands, with an unreadable expression."What are you thinking?" I ask quietly."I'm thinking Elena's been ten steps ahead this entire time. While we've been reacting to her attacks, she's been orchestrating everything." Elara looks up at me. "We can't beat her by playing her game. We need to change the rules entirely.""What do you mean?" I look at her intrestingly."I mean we stop defending and trying to prove she's the villain or even letting her control the narrative." Elara's voice strengthens. "We go on offense. But not the way she expects.""Elara...""She wants us to press charges, to drag her through the legal system where she can play victim. She wants us to fight her publicly where she can manip

    ELARAI don't sleep that night.Every time I close my eyes, I see Elena's smile from that video and hear my mother's voice asking me to forgive her. All I can feel the weight of knowing my own parents chose to file a police report against me.At 3 AM, I give up trying and move to the living room. Damien finds me there twenty minutes later, curled up on the couch with a blanket, staring at nothing."You can't sleep either?" He sits beside me, and pulls me against him."Every time I try, my brain just spirals. What if the detective believes my parents? What if Elena's evidence looks more credible than ours? What if...""Stop." He tilts my chin up gently. "We have actual proof from security footage, financial records, and witness testimony from Vanessa once she wakes up. Elena has fabricated emails and manipulative parents.""Manipulative parents who will seem sympathetic. They will look like two worried people trying to protect their troubled daughter from the billionaire and his girlfr

    ELARAAll I hear from the other side is silence."When Richard Cross was threatening me, and there was a real bomb threat that could have killed me, did you call and ask if I was okay? Or were you too busy checking on Elena?""That's not the same...""It's exactly the same. Except you never expect Elena to be the bigger person. You never ask her to forgive, to understand, to make allowances. That's only ever asked of me." I'm crying now, but my voice is steady. "I'm done. I'm done being the daughter who has to sacrifice for the daughter you actually love.""We love you both equally...""Liar." The word hangs in the air. "You love Elena. You tolerate me. And I'm finally okay with that. Because I have people who actually love me now. Who choose me. Who don't ask me to set myself on fire to keep Elena warm.""Elara, if you don't talk to Elena, if you let this escalate..." Dad's voice takes on a warning tone. "We'll have to support her. Publicly. We'll tell the media that you're the one w
