100 Recovery…

CHAPTER 100Recovery…DamienLife doesn't give you a manual on how to recover from a 6-month coma so I just winged it.When I woke up, nurses and doctors alike surrounded me, asking how I felt and if anything seemed off or unusual.Sadly, I couldn't satisfy their curiosity, as it felt like I had just emerged from a deep and satisfying sleep.My muscles felt stiff as I hadn't used them for over 6 months, but the doctor promised that I would get better with lots of treatment and therapy.All in all, I felt better and more relaxed for the first time in years but that feeling quickly got dashed when I heard about Elena.When I woke up, my first thought went to Elena and where she was.I quickly made calls when I could only to find out that she was out of the country with some other guy.I got confused, especially after I had asked the nurses if she came by during the 6 months that I was in a coma, and their response was negative. As if that wasn't a huge blow to my ch

101 The Conversation…

CHAPTER 101The Conversation…ElenaHe looked as handsome as ever, although his face looked gaunt, like he had lost a lot of weight and there were big, dark circles under his eyes. The turtleneck sweater he wore stretched across his chest and made his eyes sparkle.“Hey….” He paused, his eyes moving across my body. “It's good to see you.”“I…” I trailed off, not sure what to say. “What…what are you doing here?”Realizing that that sounded too harsh, I reiterated. “Um, I meant…I didn't know you were feeling better already.”Hearing those words out loud made me feel guilty as I hadn't thought about him for once since I left the hospital.“Yeah, I woke up a week ago.” He looked away briefly. “It's been tough, honestly, and the whole thing…. it's uh…”Without him speaking, I sensed Cornell's presence behind, which was part of the reason Damien trailed off.“Um, can I talk to you for a sec?” He asked, throwing weird glances at Damien.“S-sure…” I stammered out be

102 A Strange Meetup…

CHAPTER 102A Strange Meetup…ElenaI gasped, placing my palm on my chest, staring wide-eyed at the pieces of food that were rolling down the sand. “Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry!”Instantly, I bent down and tried to salvage what I could but my efforts only made things worse, pieces of dirt and sand sticking to the food, even the nearly packed bottle of orange juice.I straightened to my full height to stare at the older woman who no doubt was furious with me, except I slipped on a banana peel, which knocked me off balance and sent me crashing into the woman.Unfortunately for her, she didn't see it coming and fell, landing awkwardly on a sidewalk at the last minute.At this point, I wanted the grounds to open up and swallow me but as much as I wanted to avoid talking to this woman, I had to as I couldn't leave without being seen as rude. Turning the corners of my lips down in a sad smile, I stretched a hand out to help her up. “I had no idea you were behind me… I was

103 Two Months Later…

CHAPTER 103Two Months Later…New Opportunities…ElenaToday was one of those days.I woke up this morning and decided to have a chill day at home.It was a Saturday so Lily was home and for the first time in a long time, I decided to spend a day bonding with my daughter.And Cornell chose to tag along.He was on my porch by 8 am to discuss work but when Lily saw him, she made him play with her dolls and that extended to him staying over.Today I decided that we're gonna make tacos and orange juice, all from scratch.Thankfully, I had each ingredient at home and I didn't have to do much except make the food.“Just like that, honey…” I instructed, darting an eye to the counter where Lily was seated in her high chair, a bowl of oranges next to her, and a semi empty bowl. “Squeeze as hard as you can!”Instead of using an extractor for the juices, Lily insisted on manually trying to squeeze it out.Honestly, most of the liquid ended up on the counter rather than th

104 Unexpected desires…

CHAPTER 104Unexpected desires…ElenaThe sky was beautiful tonight.That was the first thing I noticed when I wound the window down to let in some fresh air.A quick glance at my watch revealed that I was about ten minutes away from the location and I didn't want to show up there, looking all sweaty and tensed up.As the cool breeze washed over my skin, I let out a soft sigh and readjusted my position on the seat.However, that made me adjust my legs and I looked down, staring at my shoes, drawn to them like a magnet.I think back to a few hours earlier, when I was dressing up, and Lily came into the room as she wanted to spend more time with me before I left.I had changed into my short, blue sparkly dress and was about to pick up my trusty sensible black heels when she excitedly jumped up and pointed at the box I had at the top of my shelf.“Mommy, why don't you wear that?” She had asked in an inquiring tone and as I raised my head to look at the box of new sho

105 Drunken Tug of War…

CHAPTER 105Drunken Tug of War…Elena What is wrong with me? I mused as I hid behind a pillar, downing another drink.I was hiding simply because I wasn't brave enough to look Damien in the eye… not after I kissed him back like my life depended on it.My mind flashed back to the kiss and it took everything I had to stand upright.When Damien's lips touched mine at first, I wanted to be repulsed and pull away but his lips were soft and firm at the same time, expertly dominating the kiss in such a way that I had no choice but to surrender.Against my better judgment, I started to kiss him back, my hands creeping up to grip his shoulders and deepen the kiss.Just as I was about to throw caution to the wind, my phone buzzed and I regained my senses… at least temporarily.Gasping, I pulled away from him and ran over to the ladies' room.Which is why I've been hiding out here.I hated myself, especially when I think about Cornell and how sweet and amazing he's been.

106 Another Collide…

CHAPTER 106Another Collide…ElaraI stared at my laptop the next day in my office, but I couldn't seem to jumble my thoughts.My mind kept straying back to the journey back home.Due to the alcohol I had consumed, my memory on the subject was quite fuzzy but I remembered bits and pieces…like how Cornell swooped me and drove me home.When we got home, I was such a mess, teetering between an emotional and horny drunken state.He wanted to come in and help but I managed to summon the strength to say no.I stumbled in and the housekeeper, Helen came to my rescue, taking me to bed and helping me through the night.It was at that moment that a knock sounded on my door, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see Ethan poking his head in before I could say a word. “Hiii!” He exclaimed in such a cheery voice, entering into the office. “Are you busy?”I shrugged, leaning back. “No. Why?”“Well, Damien is here to see you,” Ethan looked at me. “Should I send him in?”

107 The Incident …

CHAPTER 107The Incident …Elena“You ready?” Damien extended his elbow for me to hold on to, looking really pleased with himself.He should be. I practically had to peel myself from my bed to honour the promise I made to him.“I am.” I plastered on the smile that I had perfected in front of the mirror and off we went.Damien insisted on picking me up instead of allowing me to drive down by myself, and now it looks like I'm stuck with him.We walked down the entryway and into the hall used for the party and almost immediately, people gravitated towards us.Or him, I should say.I tried to use that opportunity to pull away but Damien's hand tightened around my arm, forcing me to be glued to his side.Nevertheless, I kept smiling, swiping a glass of wine the minute I could.“Sorry about all this,” Damien leaned down to whisper in my ear after he was done talking to a politician. “I’ve been away from the business for a while so it tends to be this hectic.”“Oh, it's

108 Is It All A Lie?

CHAPTER 108Is It All A Lie?Elena “Keep the change!” I threw the words over my shoulder to the cab guy as I strolled into the cafe.A few days after the whole mess at Damien's party, Jane reached out to me so we could meet up and I agreed.I loved the little time I spent with her that day and she's pretty fun to have around plus I needed to get my mind off things and she seemed like the perfect distraction.As soon as I stepped foot into the cafe, I was greeted by the head waiter who took me to our allocated table.Unfortunately, I was thirty minutes early so I had to wait.I scanned the beautiful space, noting that the cafe had a different setting compared to others.Instead of a chair and table situation, it was mostly high-end booths…like the one I was currently sitting in.To kill time, I was scrolling through my emails when I heard it.“What do you mean?” Someone hissed from behind me.I stilled, thinking that I had imagined it but then it came again, th

109 A Gentle Understanding…

CHAPTER 109A Gentle Understanding…ElenaAs soon as I stepped out of the cafe, it felt like I could finally suck in a deep breath without feeling like my chest would shut down. My mind was still reeling from all the information I had consumed from Cornell and Sophia and I had questions.Lots of them.This made me realise that the person I know or thought I knew never existed.Does Cornell even feel anything for me like he declared or was it all fake, a part of his scheme like Sophia did to Damien?Speaking of Sophia, what she and Damien had was a lie?!To think that she would go as far as faking a pregnancy to keep up the ruse was crazy!As I paced up and down the sidewalk, I could barely stay still, my nerves wound up with all this information.My heart went out to Damien who was in the dark and was being manipulated by Sophia.I have to tell him…I didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I couldn't go home and carry on with my life knowing what I did.
