The Heiress's Choice 105. I just wanted to see you
Elena's POV"Do you know how excited I am for this probation thing to be over?" Adrian groaned beside me as we walked down the corridor. "Two more weeks and I can finally stop pretending I enjoy being in this building this much."I laughed softly."Oh, please," I said. "You love being involved in everybody's business."He pointed at me immediately. “That is completely different," he said.I shook my head, smiling…We kept walking, easy and familiar, and I was grateful for it because I'd barely slept and my brain had been running since before sunrise, replaying last night in pieces. Caleb's face when I told him everything, his voice when he said he wasn't walking away this time… But underneath all of it, one thing kept coming back.He never addressed what I said at MetLife. “I can't stop thinking about you. I don't want this to end.”I didn’t know what it meant.Maybe hearing everything about Damien changed something for him. Maybe he was trying not to pressure me. Maybe I was just

When I finally stopped talking, silence settled between us again. The waves filled the space where words were missing. Caleb stared out toward the water for a few seconds before finally speaking.“I get it now,” he said quietly.I looked at him, waiting for him to finish.“Why you always said it was complicated.”Something in my chest tightened slightly at that. Because it was complicated. It always had been.Then Caleb glanced over at me again, quieter this time.“Can I ask another thing?”I nodded once, holding his gaze.“After all that…” he said carefully, “why did you still go back?”That question hit somewhere deep in my chest because I already knew exactly what he meant.Why did I still love Damien after everything? Why did I keep trying?I looked back toward the water before answering.“Because it wasn’t all bad,” I admitted softly.My throat tightened a little.“There was love there too. Real love.”I looked down at my hands before continuing.“Damien wasn’t just my husband,

Elena’s POVThe apartment was quiet except for the low sound of the TV playing somewhere in the background.I was curled up at the corner of my couch in one of my oversized sweatshirts, half paying attention to whatever movie was on while scrolling absently through emails on my phone.It had been a long day.Not bad. Just… exhausting.My thoughts kept drifting even when I tried not to let them.First to Caleb. Which honestly wasn’t surprising anymore.We’ve been texting constantly the past two days, laughing at stupid things, falling back into old habits. Then, like my brain enjoyed ruining things for me, my thoughts shifted again.Damien would be back in two weeks.The reminder settled heavily in my chest all over again. I stared blankly at the TV for a few seconds, not really seeing it then my phone buzzed beside me before I could spiral any further.I glanced down distractedly, peeking at it.Caleb: Come downstairs.I sat up immediately, grabbed my phone and stared at the message.
The Heiress's Choice 103. Two weeks left
Elena's POV"Why do you look suspiciously happy today?"I didn't even look up from my coffee."Good morning to you too, Adrian," I said.He dropped into the chair across from my desk like he lived there, stretching his legs out, watching me with the expression he always wore when he thought he’d figured something out."Seriously," he said, leaning forward slightly."You're different today, what happened?""Nothing happened," I said, setting my cup down and opening my laptop.Then he tilted his head slowly, like something had finally clicked for him."So," he said, keeping his voice deliberately casual. "Should I assume you actually went to Caleb’s game?"I paused for exactly one second. Then I looked up at him, deciding how much I actually wanted to tell him.“Yes,” I said simply. “Now, things are… less complicated.”Adrian stared at me blankly.Then he leaned back and let out a short laugh.“Wow," he said, shaking his head. "Caleb Harding finally making progress after ten years, mirac
The Heiress's Choice 102. You're welcome
Elena's POV"Well, well, well," Amara said, looking up from the front desk with that slow smile she always gave me, "Look who finally remembered we exist."I laughed softly, pulling my bag higher on my shoulder."I've been busy," I said, tilting my head apologetically."You're always busy," she replied, already reaching for something behind the counter, "Same package as usual?”"Please," I said.She handed me a robe and a locker key and I exhaled for what felt like the first time all week.The spa was exactly what I needed today.Soft lighting. Low music playing somewhere in the background. Warm air scented faintly with eucalyptus, citrus and something faintly floral drifting through the air.One of the few places that could still quiet my brain for more than five minutes.I'd forgotten that.It had been two days since Caleb’s game. Two days since he looked at me in that corridor like I’d said something that changed everything.And somehow, despite how intense that conversation had be
The Heiress's Choice 101. "I don't know."
Caleb's POV"Man, you need to relax," I said, tossing the ball back toward Dre. “We literally just played a full game yesterday, be grateful coach even let us breathe today."Dre caught it and shook his head."Easy for you to say," he muttered. "You weren't the one getting cooked out there."The guys around us laughed.Someone threw a towel at Dre from across the field, and he ducked it badly, which made everyone laugh harder.It was that kind of morning, loose and easy, just a light session to keep the body moving without breaking it down again so soon after the win.I was in a decent mood. Better than decent, actually.I was still carrying something from last night, something Elena said in that corridor that was sitting warmly somewhere in my chest.Eventually, the session wrapped up, and the group started drifting apart, guys heading toward the facility in twos and threes, still talking, still laughing.I broke away from them and walked inside alone.The noise from the field faded
The Heiress's Choice 46. The getaway
Elena's pov"This is pathetic."I said it out loud to my empty apartment, staring at my laptop screen where I sat on my couch, refreshing my email for the third time in ten minutes.Nothing.No new messages, no updates, nothing from him.Work had been unbearable the last three days, every moment at

Elena's povIt took a few minutes before I could move.I lay there on my back, staring at the ceiling, still breathing hard after everything that just happened.The sheets were tangled around my waist and my hair was a mess.I could still feel him everywhere.On my lips, on my skin, between my thig

Elena's POV The spa was one of my favorite spots back home.It was one of the places I always went to before I ran off and married Damien.I wanted a body massage, a manicure, calm music, maybe even a facial if I felt like it.I wanted to wash last night off my skin, out of my head, and pretend fo

Damien's POV "Blackwell, can you drop these off on twelve?"I looked up from my desk as my supervisor, Marcus zen, dropped a stack of files in front of me."Sure," I said, grabbing them, "What are they?""Quarterly reports for Henderson," he said, already walking away."Meeting room C."I stood up
