All Chapters of Claimed By The Billioniare I Once Rejected: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Elena’s POV:There was no rush.No hunger.No urgency that I felt in the kiss.It was just a soft meeting of lips. Warm yet careful not to press too hard.I could tell it wasn’t a kiss meant to claim.It was a kiss meant to promise. To reinforce each other’s feelings for one another.Afraid that he might move his head back, my hand rested against his chest, feeling the quiet proof of him beneath my palm. Warm and sturdy.I showed him I wanted more.Something deeper than just a soft kiss.I wanted him to grab my waist or the back of my neck and pull me closer. Kiss me harder.I wanted him to touch my chest just the way I did.I wanted him to be a little less careful.This wasn’t about money but personal love, after all.My hand pressed more firmly against his chest, as if I was trying to bury myself in his embrace.My fingers pulled his shirt as if subtly trying to undo his top button.I wanted him to notice my feelings.Adrian moved his head back slowly but certainly.Why was he movin

A taxi stopped in front of Darknor Finance.This was the largest finance company in the world. Even big celebrities and movie producers would come here and take loans from this company.Even during global recessions, this was one of the few companies in the world that never really suffered from it because it had such a wide network and influence. And the scariest thing about it was that the common people didn’t even know much about it.This company was known mostly to the upper class and the elites, but it still had control on all levels of people, either directly or indirectly.Adrian’s mother was a board member in this company. It wasn’t easy for her to get to that position, either. It took her decades of consistent performance for her to be given this role.“What if your mother sees us?” Elena worriedly asked because he told her that his mother was part of this company. “Won’t she kick us out of the company?”“She rarely comes here. I know some guys here, so it’ll be easier to get

About twelve months back.Adrian heard of Elena’s disappearance when no one else in the world really cared about it.Rich people would disappear from the public eye for months for many reasons. This was nothing new.But Adrian did not take this lightly.This was because he was always keeping an eye on her.Even though the Aldridge family didn’t give any explanation as to where she went, whether it to the public or to those they knew personally, Adrian felt that something wasn’t right.Why would Elena leave her home in secret?He already knew about the tension that existed between Elena and her stepmother and her stepmother's brother.He sent some ‘unassociated’ people to get information out of Gregg, Leonard, and Cassadnra, but they kept their lips tight.This only strengthened Adrian’s doubts and worries.Adrian secretly and carefully looked for Elena’s whereabouts. He went as far as to dig into her social media accounts, but he found nothing of note there.After almost ten days, he

Adrian and Elena didn’t directly go after Nathan Blake.Adrian first gathered information about Nathan and his movements while keeping distance. It was necessary in order for them to judge if it was even okay for him and Elena to approach Nathan right now or not.After all, Nathan’s past wasn’t simple. He had even gone to jail once.So, Adrian was thorough with the information gathering.Elena, on the other hand, used the SUV to drive around and find an apartment where they could stay.When Adrian came to the apartment, he was quite shocked because it was an old apartment that was far from the main road.He would never stay in a place like this.Besides, was it even safe to stay in such a place? What if some thugs were to storm in through the door and attack them in the middle of the night? Or what if a drunkard next door was to quarrel with them and trouble them?But Adrian didn’t say a word of disapproval or express disappointment because he soon understood why Elena chose such a pl

Even though Bella said ‘now,’ Elena purposely didn’t rush things.She took Bella along and bought a few gold ornaments and paid a total of 23K. This wasn’t too little to slight at.Everybody wondered who Elena was because Bella was roaming with her. Elena never removed the mask, not wanting to get any attention right now.Eventually, through the back door, Bella took Elena and Adrian and left in a black SUV.When Adrian removed the mask, Bella showered a fan-girl smile at him. “Do you remember me, sir?”“Of course,” Adrian lied with a poker face. “I met you before, didn’t I?”“Yes,” Bella’s smile thickened. She held Adrian’s hands. “One of my high heels broke. I was about to fall off, but you held me. I would have been really embarrassed if it wasn’t for your help back then.”“It’s okay. Anybody would have done the same,” Adrian replied. Actually, he didn’t even remember when it happened, but he played dumb.“Most men I talk to ask for my number,” Bella said, looking at Elena. “But Si
