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 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 26. When It All Caves In
Elena’s povI stormed out of the suite, vision blurry with tears. My body was shaking so badly I could barely walk straight.I couldn’t breathe. My chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing my lungs.I stumbled down the hallway toward the elevator and jabbed the button over and over like that wo

Elena's POVThe car ride home from the airport felt endless, every second stretching like it had nowhere else to go.I squinted, staring out the window watching Denver blur past in muted colors. I was exhausted.My body felt heavy. My head felt worse.Damien sat beside me in silence, his presence l

Damien’s povI stood there in front of her, staring down at her lips before I could stop myself. The red lipstick she put on earlier was almost gone, just a faint outline left after the long day.Every instinct I had told me to close the distance, to just lean in and kiss her deeply like I used to

Elena’s povThe plane touched down in Singapore, and for the first time in days, I felt like I could breathe properly.Distance didn’t fix anything, but at least it quieted the noise.Well… almost because the man sitting beside me on this trip wasn’t the one I wanted to be here with.The limo ride
