Elena's POV

"You can always tell when Caleb's in a good mood,” Dalia said, leaning toward me slightly. "He's definitely showing off tonight."

I smiled but my chest twisted a little. She said it so easily, like nothing had changed between us at all.

Nobody around me knew otherwise.

The stadium was electric, loud in that full-body way where you feel it in your ribs, and the game was winding down now, the last few minutes left on the clock, Caleb's team already ahead.

  • The Heiress's Choice    100. I'm sorry

    Elena's POV"You can always tell when Caleb's in a good mood,” Dalia said, leaning toward me slightly. "He's definitely showing off tonight."I smiled but my chest twisted a little. She said it so easily, like nothing had changed between us at all.Nobody around me knew otherwise.The stadium was electric, loud in that full-body way where you feel it in your ribs, and the game was winding down now, the last few minutes left on the clock, Caleb's team already ahead.I'd been watching him the whole game without meaning to.Every time he moved, my eyes found him automatically, every difficult play made me hold my breath without realizing it, and when it went well I exhaled slowly, like something in me was still connected to him even from up here.It scared me a little.Then my eyes drifted toward the sideline again.Sara was still there.She didn’t move much the whole game, just present, talking to staff, watching him on the field.I looked away, pretending it didn’t bother me. Then the

  • The Heiress's Choice    99. The game

    Elena's POVFriday evening sunlight spilled softly through my apartment windows, the TV playing low in the background while I lay stretched across the couch in one of my oversized sweaters.I left work early for once. No meetings. No calls. No pretending I wasn’t exhausted.The apartment was too quiet. Three days had passed since the date with Drew, and somehow that only made everything worse.Because the entire time, all I could think about was Caleb.I stared blankly at the TV without actually processing anything happening on screen when my phone suddenly rang beside me.Adrian.I answered with a sigh.“What?”Adrian laughed immediately.“Damn. Nice to hear from you too, sis.”I rolled my eyes slightly, sitting up just enough to grab the remote and lower the TV volume.“What do you want?”“Maya wants to know if you’re disappearing on us again this Sunday or if you’re actually coming to lunch for once.”I let out a quiet laugh.“I was literally at your house last week.”“Yeah, and b

  • The Heiress's Choice    98. Bowling

    Elena’s POVDrew: You still owe me that hangout, by the way.I stared down at the text for a second, my thumb hovering over the screen.Tuesday morning sunlight spilled across my sheets while my coffee sat untouched on the nightstand beside me. For a second, I’d genuinely forgotten I even gave him my number that day.I considered ignoring it. Or sending something polite enough to end the conversation quickly before it really started.Instead, I exhaled softly and typed back.Me: Sure.I sent the text and his reply came almost immediately.Drew: Good. I was starting to think you ghosted me already.Before I could respond, a second message followed right after.Drew: There’s a bowling place not too far from downtown. You free tonight?I hesitated for half a second, contemplating, before I finally gave in.Me: Yeah. What time?We settled on seven. Then he sent another text.Drew: I’ll pick you up.I smiled faintly at that before typing back.Me: I’ll meet you there.Simple. Easy. Exactly

  • The Heiress's Choice    97. The deal closes

    Elena's POV"Miss Sterling, do you have a moment?"I stopped mid-step in the lobby, my hand already hovering near the elevator button.It was early Monday morning. The building was already alive, employees crossing marble floors, phones ringing at reception, low conversations blending into the usual corporate rhythm.I was dressed for work, composed, moving with the same confidence I always carried. But my mind wasn’t there.It kept circling back to the weekend. Caleb’s voice on that balcony. The way he’d looked at me when he said it.“I’m in love with you, Elena.”I hadn’t really unpacked it yet. I was still just… carrying it.Then I turned toward the voice and saw Patricia, my assistant, walking quickly across the lobby."Yes?" I said, keeping my tone neutral.She stopped in front of me, slightly breathless."The final Axiom approvals came through this morning," she said. "All subsidiaries have signed off, the deal is officially closed."I paused, her words registering slowly."Oka

  • The Heiress's Choice    96. The confession

    Elena's POV"You're bringing wine, right?"I typed back to Jenna while pulling a dress over my head, my phone balanced lazily on the bathroom counter.It was Saturday evening, two days since Caleb kissed me and walked out of my apartment without saying a word, and I was doing everything I could not to think about it.Jenna, Claire and I already had plans. Something casual, just dinner and laughs and normal friend time. Simple.Then my phone rang and Adrian's name lit up the screen."Hey," I answered, tucking the phone between my ear and shoulder."Maya's sisters are in town," he said, getting straight to the point. "We're doing a thing at the house tonight. Nothing formal, just family vibes, you should come.”I paused halfway through my makeup."I already have plans with Jenna and Claire." "Bring them," he said immediately. "More the merrier. Just come through. They really want to see you."I hesitated for maybe half a second, then agreed.I texted Jenna and Claire, and they were alr

  • The Heiress's Choice    95. Crossing the line

    Elena's POVThe tv show had been playing for forty minutes and I couldn't have told you a single thing that happened.Someone said something on screen, there was a reaction, music swelled underneath it, and I watched all of it without registering any of it.I shifted on my couch and pulled my knees up, staring at the television.The episode moved into the next scene, and I realised I had missed whatever connected them. I didn't rewind it though.I just sat there with the remote in my hand and the blanket half across my lap, the low light of the apartment around me.Last night kept replaying in small pieces in my head, no matter how hard I tried to shake it off.Caleb cancelling on me.For her.I pushed the thought away before it could settle properly. Then my phone lit up on the cushion beside me.I looked at the screen.Caleb.Something shifted in the room even though nothing had changed. I picked my phone up, my heart kicking a little faster.I don’t know how he always does that.Ca

    Damien's POVI watched Elena step out of the car and something in my gut twisted tight.She told me to leave but I didn't. I leaned forward and tapped the driver's shoulder."Hold on, don't go yet.""Sir?"“Just wait here," I said, my eyes fixed on Elena as she walked toward her house, her shoulder
