LOGINChapter 119“What happened to you?” The female prison security asked Elara as she escorted her to the car.Remembering how she had been tortured last night, Elara felt like fainting, but she couldn’t say anything.When she had first come to this place, she used to report every bullying incident, but she soon realized that no action was being taken.In fact, every time she reported Laura and her gang, they ended up doing worse to her, so she had learned to keep her mouth shut.She shook her head and said, “It is nothing. I stripped and fell in the bathroom while taking a shower.”The security guard looked at her but said nothing.The moment they reached the court premises, Elara took in a deep breath. It had been a month since she had inhaled such fresh air, and she greedily took it in.Seeing the enormous building in front of her and the sculpture of the lady of justice in front of it, Elara felt tears in her eyes.Finally!There was a glimmer of hope in her heart. Although nothing wa
Chapter 118“Inmate 2024, you have a court hearing tomorrow, please avail yourself.” The Prison warden coldly announced to Elara.Elara was shocked after hearing that, but she sighed in relief afterwards.It has been one month since she was put behind bars.One month of hell!And seeing that she could finally tell her story to the judge, Elara saw a glimmer of hope.But there was only one problem: the Blackwoods had used their influence and frozen all her assets; she couldn’t even find herself a decent lawyer. She would have to rely on the ones provided by the state.But Elara was not afraid, at least she was about to get a chance to tell her side of the story. No matter what, the truth would always win.At least, that was what she believed.Elara could not sleep that night.She kept thinking about Nathan and Dominic, and how she had missed all the signs. All the business trip excuses. Each one of her important events that Nathan missed, but Dominic showed up.Now that she thought abo
Chapter 117“Dominic, this will be your new assistant from now on,” Kristine said as she presented a young man to Dominic.There was a deep frown on Dominic’s face as he looked at the unfamiliar face.“What happened to Adrian? Why did you fire him?”“Oh, I did not fire him. He said that his parents were gravely ill back in the village and he wanted to go and personally take care of them. I couldn’t have possibly refused him when he is so filial.”Adrian’s parents!Dominic thought of something, but he remained mum.“Dominic, about that woman’s case. Goodscience and Biotechnology Lab are bent on suing us. This is such a huge blow to us, and if we don’t deal with this case swiftly, then we might end up in hot soup.”“Apart from the fact that she ran away while pregnant with your son, she even tricked you into building such a modern lab for her. Oh, I don’t know what she did, but you actually gave twenty percent of your share to her. She totally broke your trust.” Kristine said.She presen
Chapter 116The Whitmore family felt as if they had just received the death sentence.Sara hit her brother on the chest as she cried out, “Everything is your fault, Caleb. How could you harm my Dommy? You said that you were only going to deal with that witch, so what did Dommy ever do to offend you?”“Are you happy now that you have successfully ruined your sister’s life?”Caleb sat on the couch, feeling powerless.Who would have guessed that Dominic and Caleb were the same person?Who could have thought that Dominic would use such high-end technology just to hide himself and be with the woman he loves?Tina held Sara and tried to console her, “Sara, please calm down. None of us would have guessed that Dominic was hiding such a huge secret from us. And your brother wouldn’t have known that either.”“Sara, calm down. It is a very sensitive period for us now, and if any news of your brother’s involvement in the fire leaks, Kristine will skin us alive.”“Yes, sis, if I had known that Dom
Chapter 115Elara sat in her jail cell in a daze.She could not believe that she had just lost everything in the blink of an eye.She hoped that she was just in a bad dream and she would wake up soon, but all memories were very fresh, and they hit her harder than she had expected.She had lost her best friend.Her lab and the career she had worked so hard to build had gone down the drain in a twinkle.She had lost the only person who had ever made her feel like she was not an orphan.Her son had been taken away from her, and the man she had given her whole, thinking that someone had finally seen her for who she was, had turned out to be…Elara held her head and screamed. She had a hard time comprehending everything that happened.“Dominic, I hate you and your entire family. If I ever get a chance to leave this place, I will make sure that we all end up in hell.”Elara held a pendant. It was a half heart, and the other half was with Chad. She kissed it before she mumbled, “Baby, please
Chapter 114“Dominic Blackwood,” Elara whispered the name in a small voice.Before she could process anything, someone entered the room while panting.“I finally found you,” Marcus said as he breathed hard. He bent down and held his knees as he tried to catch his breath.The sight of him reminded Elara of the pain Laila had passed through and how his careless mistake had been the reason she lost her best friend, and her anger surged.For a moment, she forgot what Dominic said and marched towards Marcus. She lifted him up by the collar and landed a tight slap on his cheeks.“How dare you have the nerve to show up here?” Elara asked in a chilling voice.Marcus was stunned by the sudden slap, but he did not retaliate. He knew why Elara slapped him, and he knew that he deserved it.A few weeks had passed since Laila’s death, but he could not shake off the guilt in his heart. Every time her smiling face flashed past his eyes, he felt like he could not breathe.“Elara, I know that you are a
Chapter 20Elara and Nathan had planned to go on their first official date over the weekend. Being that it was her first date ever, Elara could not help but feel butterflies in her stomach.She had never dated in her life. Her first relationship was with Dominic, and she was nothing but a child-bea
Chapter 17When Ray returned to the private room, his face had a mixture of fear and excitement. He was yet to wrap his head around what just happened. He could not believe that he had just secured a billion-dollar investment from the Blackwoods.Goodness, he had worked his ass off for this project,
Chapter 24Elara stood rooted to the ground as if she had just been electrocuted.Did Nathan just kiss her?She slowly touched her forehead; she could feel the warmth of the kiss on her skin.Well, she had never been kissed before, so she had no idea how to react.Nathan was about to enter the car,
Chapter 21Elara did not know why she felt like running away the moment the man looked at her.His gaze almost burned a hole in her body, and Elara could feel that her cheeks were as red as ripe tomatoes even without looking.Sparks flew all over the room, and time seemed to have stopped as the two
