Chapter One Hundred And Twelve

"Miss Lana?"

Lana jerked as Mandy touched her forearm gently, trying to get her attention. She blinked in surprise, staring blankly at Mandy who nodded with her head towards the front of the hall, where a speech was being given.

She sighed and gave Mandy an apologetic smile. She had been carried away with her thoughts that she had not noticed what was going on in her surroundings.

The night had been going smoothly so far, except for her thoughts drifting away to a certain somebody and her mood threatening to plummet down to its lowest depth.

"What's the point of coming out for the first time in a while if you're going to be so distracted, Lana?" She admonished herself, and decided to focus on what she came here for. She shook her head and drew the black fur shawl tighter around her shoulders.

She was wearing a long black dress, with straps and a sweet heart neckline. It was made of silk and the skirt flowed all the way to the ground, covering her feet. A

    Chapter One Hundred And Thirteen Rina staggered back from the force with which Damien pushed her, to the shock of the onlookers. She gasped and stumbled backwards almost landing on her butt, but a table behind her broke her fall. Before she could get steady herself and call out to Damien again, he had disappeared through the crowd and out the door searching for Lana."Ugh!" She grunted loudly, stomping her heeled foot against the marble floor in anger and frustration. She bit her lip and thought about following them out. She could not believe Damien had pushed her away in public. She had hugged him, thinking he would never push her away in front of guests like this. She'd thought she would still be able to act weak and pitiful before him and everyone else to keep him trapped...She'd not expected him to push her away so roughly, that she'd not even had time to change tactics."Whatever, I came to this stupid event just so I can get you back," She muttered to herself, "so you're goi

    Chapter One Hundred And Fourteen."Ow, let go of me! What do you think you're doing?!"Zaire marched through the crowd, ignoring Rina's cries of pain. Instead, he dragged her out of the building, and into the quiet garden by the side of the Hall.When they got to a spot where they could not get the attention of the guests in the hall, Zaire stopped and Rina yanked back her wrist from his hold."You bastard!" She spat out, as she massaged her sore wrists. There were red welts on the delicate skin, indicating where his fingers had dug into it.Zaire turned to her sharply at that word, and quick as lightening, he gave her a deafening slap that threw her to the ground.Rina cried out in pain on the floor, as she reached to touch her cheeks with her hand, trembling all over her body.She glared up at him with hate and fear as Zaire dusted one palm over the other, "You know, I really try not to get angry at you, Rina." He said, then stooped low to glare at her on the ground, his eyes red-ri

  • UNFORGETTABLE EX-WIFE: The Billionaire's Regret   Not What She Expected

    Chapter One Hundred And Fifteen.The silence in the Maybach, as Damien and Lana rode down the streets and towards home, was defeaning.Lana was sitting very straightbacked on her seat, willing her heartbeat to slow down, but it continued beating loudly in her ears.She dared not look sideways at Damien, who, surprisingly, was looking very calm and zen considering what had happened just a few minutes ago. She inhaled sharply and clutched the silky material of her dress, as her mind drifted back to what had happened in the garden.When she'd seen Zaire drag Rina out of the building, Lana knew something was very wrong.First of all, why were they together?She'd never thought Zaire and Rina knew each other, and why was he pulling her after him that way?Then, Zaire had slapped Rina and Lana's jaw dropped in shock, her eyes widening at the man in front of her. This was not the Zaire she knew. Zaire Ludovic, who was her friend, rarely got angry and would definitely not hit a woman but h

    Chapter One Hundred And SixteenLana went very still as Damien's lips claimed hers. It was like every other thing disappeared at that moment and the only thing she could feel was his firm lips on hers, nibbling and tasting.It was electrifying and desire coursed through her veins when his tongue delved into her mouth, and Lana let out a moan, melting completely into him.Damien growled low in his throat as one hand moved from her face to her hair, while the other grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.She could feel how hard he was already as he pressed against her tummy. Lana felt her mind completely lose control of her body, as her hand wrapped around his waist and another cralwed up his body, tugging at his shirt. Their kiss deepened as their tongues meshed and dueled. Damien moved until he held her gently against the hedge and another moan escaped Lana, as his mouth started nibbling her ear and neck.However, the feeling of his palm fully cupping her breast brought her crashing

    Chapter One Hundred And SeventeenWhen the car pulled into the driveway of the Romero Villa, Lana placed all her attention in unbuckling her seatbelt, so she would not look at Damien but strangely enough, the belt was stuck.She jerked at the seat belt in frustration, and Damien turned to her alerted by her movements. "Here, let me help you." He said as he took his off, and leaned towards her to help her with the seatbelt.Lana put up a hand quickly at him, her heart beating loudly once more at his closeness, "No." She said quickly, "I'm fine. I'll just do it myself."A tiny frown furrowed his brows as he reached for the buckle nonetheless, "Relax, Lana." He said to her, carefully undoing the clasp that kept her stuck to the chair, "I'm not going to bite."Lana let out a breath she did not know she was holding as she felt the belt release her but that relief was short lived as she realized that Damien was still leaning close to her.She froze, unable to take her eyes off his face ab

    Chapter One Hundred And EighteenDamien stood arms akimbo in front of his desk, looking pissed as hell. He could not believe the news his assistant was giving him at the moment.The police could not find anything in the video linking Aryan to Lana's attack? The video was enough proof in itself, dammit!"Ludovic must have pulled some strings," he muttered bitterly to himself, "He really has a death wish.""That's bullshit!" He swore loudly after sometime, getting more and more annoyed as he thought about it, "What are the cops doing? Do I have to do everything myself?!""No, you don't."Both men turned to look at Lana as she strode into the room, confidently. She gave them a square look as she walked up to them, and stood directly in front of them.Damien scowled and turned away from her, "You're really not supposed to be here, Lana." He said in a cool tone, his expression impassive, his demeanor different from the seething man of a few moments ago, "And besides..." he turned to glare

    Chapter One Hundred And NineteenDamien arched an eyebrow at her as curiosity drew him from the windows, and over to the desk."My grandmother?" He asked, his voice wary as he looked at the box. Lana watched him pick up the small black box and scrutinized it from all angles, his brows furrowed in a small frown.He did not reach to open the box as he eyed it, warily, "What's in it?"Lana collected the box from him and opened it, revealing the letter and the tapes before setting it back down on the desk, "A few months back, Diego gave me this parcel." She swallowed a hard lump in her throat as she reached for the letter and handed it to him, "Apparently, I was supposed to receive it five years ago. Right before she...before Laura died."Damien was reading the letter now, his expression unreadable but she saw the pain in his eyes. Raw pain and regret which he made no effort to hide as he looked up at her.Lana's heart ached for him. She knew it would be hard for him to read his grandmoth

    Chapter One Hundred And Twenty"Uhm...you guys...I'm still here, remember?"Liam's voice crashed through the moment, released Damien from the spell of Lana's tearful eyes. He clenched his teeth as he turned to glare at the assistant, who gave him a defiant look in return.He could have easily walked out of the room to give them some time to themselves, but he was very much interested in their new found case. It was late and he needed to know the next line of action to take concerning this matter, and he needed to know it that night.Lana was so drowsy by then, that she could not sit still. Her eyelids drooped close as her head lolled forward, crashing against Damien's chest.He held her securely, and she did not resist when he hoisted her into his arms, and carried her bridal style out of the room."Wait here." He ordered Liam, who sighed heavily in reply, but did not utter a word.Lana snuggled against Damien as he carried her to her room, rubbing her cheeks against his hard chest.

She cried out in agony, "Let me go. At once!""Not until you explain what you mean by that little statement which you just uttered," Gary fired back heatedly."I meant exactly what I said, you piece of trash, " Maya said as she mustered her energy and stomped on his toe with her heeled foot."Ahh!" Gary cried out in anguish as pain exploded in his foot. He let go of her hair at once and doubled over in pain, trying to hold his throbbing toe but it was much too painful.Maya, seeing as she was free from his hold, turned back and stared at him in disdain, "You think I won't take protective measures for myself?
