Chapter: 29: Ghastly IncidentChapter 29Ghastly IncidentElena(Flashback_Six months ago) “Where are we going, mom?” Lily's voice was barely audible above the sound of the drizzling rain. She was still drowsy from sleep. “Hush now,” I whispered, rocking her softly in my arms. My eyes were narrowed as I stared out at the night, it was pitch black. “Damn weather!” the driver cursed under his breath, he was squinting his eyes as he leaned forward, trying to see clearly through the raindrops that streamed down the windshield. “The weather's horrible,” I said, trying to make small talk. I couldn't believe how bad our luck was, the weather had been just less than half an hour ago. I was still blank on how I was going to proceed but I knew one thing. I couldn't stay with Sarah, her words didn't hold much sway with Father and Damien. My mind flashed with the image of him entangled with Sophia, I was just a necessity. I was done doing things for anyone. The thought was like a weight lifted off my chest, I felt li

Chapter: 28: Unforeseen CircumstancesChapter 28Unforeseen CircumstancesDamien(Flashback_six months ago) It was barely eight am but I was already dressed and ready for work, the car was outside waiting for me. The house felt emptier as I strode downstairs, I hated having maids walking around the house so they usually came in when I'd left and cleaned the place before I came back. It'd been a day and I'd heard no news from Albert I thought, descending down the stairs. He hadn't sent word if he'd found Elena, I was beginning to think this was a lost cause. Maybe she didn't want to be found, I thought. I slid into the back seat and the driver drove me out of the estate and onto the main roads. Within half an hour we'd pulled up into my private parking space and minutes later I ascended my private elevator up to my office. Clara was busy with some documents when I walked in. I'd discovered her when she was only an intern, quick and sharp-witted. I'd employed her as my secretary and never regretted it, I paid he

Chapter: 27: Frayed EmotionsChapter 27Frayed EmotionsDamien (Flashback_Six months ago)“What do you mean she's gone?” Albert yelled, his voice thundering in the room. I bit back a wince, I could feel my ears ringing. Albert had been on a rampage since he walked in, I secretly wondered if he was really worried about Elena or our alliance now that she was gone. “She was supposed to be under your care,” Albert paced back and forth, not able to stay put. “My care?” I repeated, my eyes becoming cold. “She's not some little kid that I have to babysit and spoon-feed,” I snapped, glaring at Albert. He would do well to mind his words. Despite my seemingly calm exterior, I wasn't any less bothered than Albert, I just didn't show it. My marriage to Elena was supposed to be the icing on the cake, Father would support me and our months of uneasy standoff would be over. Just when I thought I'd had a weight lifted off my chest, this happened. “Do you have any idea where she could be?” I snapped, glancing at Albert

Chapter: 26: Leap Of Faith Chapter 26Leap Of Faith ElenaOne step at a time, deep breaths, squared shoulders… you can do this Elena. I could, only that I couldn't believe I was really doing this. I was dressed in a black pencil gown and a white jacket, I kept my eyes down, avoiding the intense gazes I'd been receiving ever since I stepped out of the house. Was I nuts? I wondered as I walked into Harrington Enterprises and headed straight for the elevator. I couldn't believe I was doing this. I was coming back to work with Damien Landon, the man I'd been arranged to marry and had married until recently. I pressed the button for the top floor—Damien’s office, despite the growing unease I felt. I'd spent all night telling myself how and why I couldn't do this but the terms he'd offered had been enticing. Five times my current pay would be enough to comfortably take care of Lily and sort out a lot of other things. It hadn't been easy getting this job, I didn't want to lose it just like that. Not to add, I

Chapter: 25: Clash Of InterestsChapter 25Clash Of InterestsDamienMy heart was pounding in my chest as I stared at Priest with a cold gaze. I couldn't believe what I'd just heard. “So you're telling me that Elena was in this car?” I nudged the picture of the wrecked car, the thought of her in the car sent chills down my spine. It was a miracle she was still alive. I thumbed through the other photos of the crash. “What happened to her after that?” I demanded, and my mood became worse by the second. “I can't say,” Priest began but he changed tack after he noticed my dark expression. “It's still unclear at this point,” he admitted. “I'm running through the records of every hospital in the vicinity of the crash for a radius of ten miles,” Priest explained. “It'll take some time, but if she was taken to any of those hospitals, I'll find out.” “Good,” I nodded curtly, pushing the photos back to him. “I want to see her hospital records when you do,” I stressed, remembering Elena's reaction when she'd seen me.

Chapter: 24 AudacityChapter 24Audacity DamienThe soft chime of the elevator filled the small space as it ascended but my mood had never felt lower. Elena couldn't remember me. Could she even remember anything? My mind raced with thoughts as I replayed every moment, retwisting and rethinking it through. She'd not given anything away, not even a little to suggest this was an act. What'd happened to her? I wondered, a frown etched on my face. I'd begun having suspicions since I'd kissed her in my office but now I was completely sure, maybe not completely. I'd offered her those lucrative terms just to keep her around, keep her close to me where I could continuously observe her. I shook my head to clear my thoughts as the elevator doors slid open and I strode out. “Send a memo to all the directors,” I snapped, catching Clara's attention. “I want all their reports ready by tomorrow morning, including Howard.” “Yes sir,” Clara quickly wrote down some notes on that clipboard she seemed to carry everywh

Chapter: Chapter 171: A Second ChanceChapter 171: A Second ChanceCamilla's PovStanding before me was the woman that I once thought was dead. She stared at me. Her steely resolve faltered to tears glistening in her eyes."What did you just call me?" shaking she whispered "Mom? Do...do you know me?"I swallowed hard, my stomach twisted up with nerves. "Yes, I know you," I said, and I could barely keep the shaking out of my voice. "I grew up seeing your picture in my parent's house. They told me you were my biological mother… but that my father, John, killed you. I—I thought you were dead.”“Who were the parents who raised you?” she questioned with a stern expression.“Your brother, Benson, and his wife, Olivia.” Carol's face crumpled, and the sight caught at my chest. She shook as she extended her hands toward me. "Camilla…my daughter. I—I had no idea.""Mom," I whispered. "You were alive, all these years.And with that, consumed with sobs, she pulled me into her arms tightly. It was as though all that noise going on a

Chapter: 170: SHADOWS AND BLOODDante's POVThe air hung heavy in the room. Ella sat on the ground at the center of the dimly lit basement, her face a mask of defiance though bruises colored her pale skin. I was leaning casually against the table with Ella's phone in my hand, observing her."You're going to prove stubborn to the end, aren't you?" I said icily.She sneered, her swollen lip curling in defiance. "You'll get nothing from me, Dante."Alex was leaning against the doorframe, his arms folded over his chest as he regarded Ella. "We've tried every method. She's either too loyal or too scared."I clenched my fist. The image of Anthony pulling strings behind her seemed seared into my brain. "Or both," I muttered.The phone buzzed on the desk, and I sprang up, and picked it up-the flashing unknown number danced across the screen. Alex took another step closer, taut."Answer it," he said.I nodded and took it to my ear but didn't say anything. The other line was silent too. And then I just waited. The silence hun

Chapter: 169: THE RELATIONCamilla's POV"Dante, you need to sit down for this," Alex said. His voice came out measured, and I could feel the weight of it. Even Dante's eyes seemed to fill with tension though he leaned against the pillows, he looked much better than this morning, but the body still wasn't up and working just yet.I sat on the edge of the chair beside him, watching as the flicker of every emotion crossed his face. My heart could be pounding against my chest, and I wasn't about to show evidence of it."What's wrong?" Dante asked more like jabbed.Alex gave a quick glance my way before he turned back to him. "Ella faked her pregnancy."His face contorted further, a scrunched-up mess as his gaze soured into an accusing scowl. "What?”"She bribed the doctors," I said. "Also the one that diagnosed and confirmed your condition the first time, the doctor knew about the poisoning but gave us a wrong diagnosis on purpose.” The silent seconds ticked over before Dante's hands actually fisted. "Why? What

Chapter: 168: RE-LIVING FATECamilla's POV"You're positive she went inside?" I whispered, clenching the steering wheel tightly. I was staring into the entrance of the hospital, my nerves heightened.Alex's voice scratched in my earpiece, firm but wary. "Positive. She just went in. Do you want to back up?” I bit my lip, my fingers dancing on the wheel. "No. Go back home and keep an eye on Dante. It's something I need to deal with myself. Weeks of suspicious behavior on Ella's part had set warning bells ringing in my mind, and today I was going to finally confirm what my gut had been screaming at me all along.I pulled my coat tighter against the biting cold and stepped out of the car. The air was sharp, that kind of chill that burrowed deep in your bones, but I didn't notice. My attention was razor-sharp as I walked briskly across the parking lot and into the warm, sterile lobby of the hospital.Keep your head down. Act normal.The soft chime of the elevator doors slid open, releasing me onto the fourth floor,

Chapter: 167: POISONOUS OBSESSIONCamilla's POV My breath caught as I watched Dante slumped against the headboard, hacking into his lungs. A bit of blood trickled from between his lips and onto his palm and down his hand, spilling onto the sheets. My heart boomed in my chest loud enough to block everything else."Dante!" I shrieked, scrambling onto the bed beside him. "What's going on?”His head swung once in a poor attempt at shaking. "I. I don't know," he spoke in low tones.I grabbed a towel, pressing it to his mouth in hopes of halting the stream of blood while my hands violently shook. "Don't speak. Just breathe. I'm going to call Alex," I said, reaching for my phone.It rang once, and then Alex answered."Camilla? What's going on?""Get here! Now!" I ordered. "Get a doctor, the one that knows what he's doing. Dante is coughing out blood!""What? Is it-""As soon as possible, Alex!" I cut him off, hooking the disconnect button.Dante's hand clutched mine weakly, his eyes searching for mine. "Camilla. I'm fine,"

Chapter: 166: The Ominous SignsCamilla's POVI stirred the coffee in my mug, my gaze darting to Dante, who sat on the bed edge, rubbing his temples. He was pale, far too pale. The composed veneer he always wore slumped in exhaustion."You don't look good," I said, placing the mug on the nightstand and sitting beside him.Dante let out a sigh and leaned back against the headboard. "I just need some sleep, Camilla. That's all.""No, it's not," I said, laying a hand on his forehead. He wasn't warm, but his skin felt clammy. "You have been pushing yourself too hard. You look sick, you are going to see the doctor.""I'm fine," he muttered, waving me off. “I don't fall sick.”"Dante, stop being stubborn," I snapped. "If you're fine, then just humor me. Let me take you to the hospital."Before he could disagree, a knock was heard at the door. I gave him a pointed glance before crossing the room and wrenching the door open.There she was, standing with her luggage in hand and looking between regret and resolutions swimming
