"Lucien!" Eleana called out in surprise, making the person look at her with a mysterious smile. He got up from his seat with a smile before making his way towards her. The man was around six feet two inches tall with a well-built physique which was hidden under his black business suit. He had a fair complexion, a pair of beautiful blue eyes and a head full of dirty blonde hair. He was a typical handsome French guy next door. Eleana couldn't believe her eyes as she didn't expect to meet him so soon here in Vancouver. "Hello, Ma Belle! Surprised to see me?" He greeted her and then asked in his usual flirtatious voice making Eleana chuckle. "Of course, I am very surprised. You didn't tell me you were coming here." She said the first part in a happy tone but her last sentence was accusing. Eleana opened her arms and took a step forward to hug Lucien. Lucien chuckled warmly before wrapping his arms around her. He kissed her cheeks and she did the same before they broke their hug. "I mis

"Everything. You. Do. Is. My. Business." He stressed every word in a loud and serious voice, making her shiver. His face held an expression which proved he meant every word he said just now. Eleana kept staring at his deep hypnotic grey eyes which bore holes into hers. The way he was looking into her eyes while holding her close to him made her experience some familiar sensations which she didn't experience for a long time. Eleana found herself getting weak at that moment, unable to say anything back to him. She hated her at that moment for becoming so weak just by some mare words and some mare touch from him. "Let me go." She said but her voice came out lower than expected, making it almost sound like a whisper. Instead of loosening his grip on her, he made it tighter making it impossible for her to fight his clutch. "What if I don't?" His words came out challenging, making Eleana glare at him. "Aren't you afraid your fiance might catch you holding your ex?" Eleana taunted while

Finally, the Day Eleana was anticipating for more than a year came. The day her new exclusive Design ' l' espérance ' would finally be launched. The French word l' espérance means Hope/Promise. It was a wedding gown and jewellery collection release. Eleana had worked days and nights for that collection and finally, her hard work paid off. She had arranged a fashion show for her collection to be released. When it came to her work, Eleana had a different version of herself. From her childhood, Eleana was fascinated with fashion design. Kathleen Campbell played a big role in that. As Kathleen was a fashion designer, Eleana grew up watching her work under the same roof. Under her influence, she also got interested in that field and decided to pursue it as a career when she grew up. Because of her fascination, she chose to study fashion design and also business at the same time so she could inherit and manage the business her father left for her. She wanted to make her parents proud. He wo

Ayden drove Eleana straight to the office. They both entered the tall sky-blue skyscraper together silently. Eleana was dressed in a white V-neck sleeveless, a-line dress. She twisted her hair in the front and then put them on a messy bun. She was looking very innocent and beautiful, completely hiding the storm she had been through yesterday. Even though Eleana was looking completely graceful, inside she was very stressed because of Ayden's behaviour towards her. He had crossed the line completely yesterday. She was getting very exhausted because of his overbearing behaviour. But one thing which was bothering her a lot was Ayden's sudden change of behaviour. Eleana must agree, she had never seen this side of Ayden once in the past. She grew up living with him yet she didn't behave so progressively about her. Ayden glanced at Eleana and frowned, he was very bothered by her silence since yesterday after he forced her to live in the penthouse with him. After she stormed inside her room,

"Just some red wine," Eleana ordered with a smile. Among all the alcohol, red wine was her absolute favourite. She wasn't much of a drinker though. She was feeling suffocated and exhausted. She couldn’t stand there and watch the hateful couple. She already felt her head aching just by their presence and she knew this place of filled with people and paparazzi. One wrong action and they would end up being in the headlines the next morning. Which is why Eleana made sure to keep her expression and action in check. She took a sip of her red wine before moving towards the empty corner of the bar. It was in the other direction. She felt like she needed to have some quiet time for a while and the crowd wasn't helping. It's not like she was enjoying herself there, she wasn't because those people were reminding her of the past and as always her mind drifted back to years back. She couldn't help it. It's been happening for the last one and a half years. Whenever She's in a crowd, enjoying hersel
