CEO's Luxury Lady Chapter 41
I dropped my bag on the dusty, friendly sofa in my living room. My feet were a bit sore and I needed a shower. However, before I could walk to the bathroom, one of my phones vibrated inside my bag. I dropped down onto the upholstery as I opened it to look for my cell phone. It was him. At exactly the time I'd promised.- Damien? - I held the phone between my shoulder and my ear, suddenly aware of the masculine smell of his jacket on my shoulders.- Are you home?- Yes. I told you I'd be fine by cab. - I repeated.- I don't like your refusals very much. Tom might as well take you home. - his voice sounded resentful.- When do we have our next appointment? - I changed the subject to avoid another argument.- Next Friday. Ulysses invited us to a table on Broadway, after the exhibition in his gallery.- Art and then live music? - I took off my sandals. At least I knew what to expect from the restaurant frequented by a large part of Rio's elite. It was a constant reference point for refine

- You what?I saw her eyes go wide and then almost pop out of their sockets, right after she screamed.Over the next few minutes I emptied myself. I told her about all my conversations with Damien, how the proposal came about and how I accepted it.- He dared to tell you all this? What a bastard! Ellen and you accepted anyway? Even after he'd humiliated you? - Arianna's eyes were dark with irritation.- Keep your voice down. The houses are glued together here! - I pleaded. - I know it was wrong, but I had to save David and that treatment would take every penny out of my aunt and uncle. - I lowered my shoulders in resignation.- Even so! Ell, the things he said to you... - Arianna looked angry. - Ellen, you didn't have to. We could have done it together!- No! We couldn't and I didn't want to drag you all down with me into this problem. Damien offered me a small fortune in this deal and I realized that it could be the solution to all problems.- You should have trusted me! Your family!

David looked at the doctor and shook my hand. He was clearly nervous about starting treatment.- There's no need to be afraid, boy. We'll just do a few blood transfusions. - The balding doctor with a warm smile announced.- Is that how it will be?- Yes, ma'am. - He smiled at me. - David will start with blood transfusions and supplemented doses of iron. We'll see how he reacts to this and we'll know what step to take. If he responds well, you'll soon be able to go home and the treatment will become home treatment.David looked at me and smiled excitedly.- I'll be able to watch Supernatural! - He celebrated.- Yes, you can. - Nurse Elizabeth, a mature woman with a gentle smile, encouraged my brother by stroking his hair.- So let's get started! - David proposed, suddenly free of fear.- Of course. But first, give him his medicine, Elizabeth. - The doctor told the nurse. - And we'll be back soon to start the first transfusion.Elizabeth offered David some pills and a glass of water. He

- And the glass? - I shouted euphorically, lifting my shot of tequila.- The glass is still in my hand. - Arianna and Jenny answered in unison and we all started laughing.- I love that song. - Arianna said after taking another swallow.- So do I. - I agreed, leaning my head on her shoulder. I suddenly felt light. - I'm watching it all go round.Jenny laughed next to me, as if I was telling a very funny joke.- I think... I think we need to start dancing instead of just listening. - Jenny wiggled her shoulders like a Spanish dancer.- No... I'm not going to dance. - I held up my index finger in warning.- That's because you know you'd lose to me. None of you can dance like me. - Arianna stared at us defiantly.- What's it like? - Jenny tapped the table in annoyance. - I won a talent show in sixth grade.- So what? Ellen and I won one too and we sang really badly. - Arianna said and then laughed.- But the point is that I danced. Still to Shakira's song. - Jenny defended herself and su

It felt like something was squeezing my head and making my veins throb painfully. I let out an anguished groan and tried to open my eyes, but the brightness made the pain increase. I closed them once more and breathed slowly, trying to concentrate on something other than the throbbing discomfort.What had I done yesterday? A few shots of tequila with Jenny and Arianna.Laughter, loud music and then the dance floor. Then the images seemed like blurs in my mind, a kind of hallucinatory dream.I tried to open my eyes and this time I managed it, ignoring the pain. I spotted my Top Gun poster and sighed with relief. My room. Nothing so serious should have happened. I'd just abused alcohol and Arianna had brought me home.I rolled over in bed, realizing that I was lying on my stomach and that I was still wearing the dress I'd worn to the party. There was a sheet wrapped around my waist and my heels were on the floor next to me.Regretting having gotten carried away with the Tequila, I pulle

When we left my house, I realized to my relief that there weren't many people in the street yet. Damien indicated the driver's seat to Tom and he opened the door for me himself. I got in and he followed soon after.- Where to, Mr. Mason?- Give Tom the coordinates, Darling. - Damien smiled nonchalantly.- To the school two blocks down the road, Tom, please. - I asked.- As you wish, miss. - Tom replied. He could never call me by my name.The car pulled away and I raised my wrist to look at the clock. It was almost nine. That would give me time to get to school.- Do you remember our appointment today? - Damien said and I stared at him. He was also looking at his watch.- The gallery. - I remembered. - What time are we leaving?- The exhibition starts at seven and we'll be on Broadway at nine. - He gave me his attention. - You can go with me to my house and you can stay there if you like. When I arrive, we'll leave quickly.I opened my mouth to challenge him, but then I realized that f

I spent longer than I had planned with David. We entertained ourselves with the game and received a surprise visit from Tk. He was smiling as usual, but he had a tired expression on his face from the from all the nights at the bar. The three of us spent hours talking about all sorts of things. David was so happy that the whole episode of sadness in the morning became a vague memory in my mind.I also received messages from Jenny and a promise of a call from Arianna later in the afternoon. Takashi left shortly after four o'clock. He was still going to work. But first he confided in me that he was having problems in his relationship, leaving me dumbfounded when he said he was having doubts about marriage. He insisted that I take money, but I managed to convince him that I was managed to convince him that he was managing to make ends meet, as David was gradually improving. When he finally David decided to be generous and gave me the chance to polish my honor in a new game of chess.When

- About the dream he had about me. - He brushed the tip of his nose against my neck and then planted a kiss on the line of my jaw, making me gasp.- He hadn't forgotten the damn dream! What's worse, he was showing me that he wouldn't give up on hearing the confession come out of my own mouth.- I... I didn't dream anything. - I insisted and tried to keep my hands on the Jaguar's bodywork.- I've already told you that you're not good at lying, Darling. - Damien ran his hand down my waist and touched my exposed leg on the side of my dress. - I can find out for myself if you like.- Damien... We've got to go.- How did I touch her? - Damien kissed my lips quickly. - Like this? - He ran his hand down my leg and put a little pressure on my knee with his fingers.I couldn't help but moan, but it was muffled because his mouth was glued to mine and I couldn't hold back any longer. My hands went to his hair and I pressed my mouth against his. Damien took a firm hold of my waist and suddenly I

BONUS DAMIENI stopped before entering the balcony, just enjoying it. She looked even more beautiful against the classic Italian backdrop. Her hair took on bronze tones in the sunset and the exposed skin that slipped through her robe glowed, capturing my attention. To think that the woman sitting on the parapet with her eyes focused on the Italian landscape was my wife filled me with pride and relief. I tightened my fingers around the glass, silently thanking her for having me. I wouldn't risk losing her ever again. I would take care of her. My eyes went down to her abdomen with our little miracle that still had no sign. I would take care of them both.She wouldn't suffer any more, I would make sure that everything for her went full and happy. That's what she deserved after so much suffering. I made her my life from the moment we walked up the aisle on the island of Solstice and I would love her until the very end.Ellen raised the coffee cup next to her to her lips and her well-drawn

To my surprise, Nicholas and Arianna managed to get along and ended up giving a speech together. Damien and I danced together once again in the Golden Room, to the same music we danced to the first time. When I heard Michael Bolton's final chord, I managed to snatch him into the garden before we were surrounded once again by guests. He looked as surprised as I had imagined when he saw himself in the hotel's empty garden. - Where's my present? - You'll have to look for it. - I nibbled my lower lip and took a step back.Damien frowned in confusion. - All over the garden? - In the immediate vicinity. - I nodded positively. He smiled and ran his hands through the hair on the back of my neck. Then he looked around and I smiled when I realized he was lost as to which direction to go first. - Look, Mr. Mason! - I urged him. Damien looked at me and smiled in my direction and then started walking towards a flowering bush. - It's not there. - I warned him. He stopped immediately. Then

" - I promise to protect and respect you, loving you and our family above myself and my desires. I'll be there every time you need me, because you're the woman I've always hoped for and the only one I've ever really loved, Ellen. As long as my heart beats, it will beat for you and to you."His words still rang in my ears, like a sweet dream. I closed my eyes to remember the recent emotions I had experienced in front of the altar, when he promised me that we would be each other's forever. I opened my eyes and looked at my reflection in the mirror. The happiness was so great that I couldn't keep the tears at bay. We decided on an informal ceremony on the beach before sunset. sunset. Solstice Island was the chosen location. There, six months after an intense night, Damien and I exchanged the vows that would last the rest of our lives. rest of our lives. It was almost impossible to believe that after the troubled way we met, things would end in such a beautiful way.However, things weren'

- No, no, no... - He pulled me close and wrapped his suit around my waist. I wanted to help him, but I was feeling weak and dizzy.- My love, don't... - Damien sobbed and his lips touched my forehead. - It's all my fault...I reached out slowly and took his arm. He hadn't forgotten me. He had come back to me, as he had promised. And although I was in a lot of pain, my heart warmed inside with happiness.- You came back... But when you called me... I thought...- Ellen, forgive me... - her fingers brushed my right cheek.- It was supposed to be a surprise... I wanted to make you happy...He seemed to despair even more and his sobs became louder.I held his face between my hands.- It's all right... Damien, I... - I felt a twinge and let out a groan, but I didn't give up. I had been foolish to hide my feelings from him and now there was no turning back. It was the deadline. - I love you. I love you with everything I am.Damien let out an agonized moan and more thick tears rolled down hi

I spent Monday trying to distract myself. I bought ice cream and rented romantic comedies to watch, even alone. Jenny and Arianna tried to persuade me to go to a club in Urca, but I refused on the grounds of feeling unwell. Which, in a way, wasn't a lie. They accepted my excuses, but assured me that they would come and visit me later.At lunchtime, I put a supermarket lasagna in the oven and mixed it with some rice. At times I couldn't help shedding a few tears and convinced myself that I was only doing it out of emotion for a few scenes in the movies. At least that's what I'd tell Julia and David when they arrived in the evening. I curled up on the sofa and stared at my cell phone. I'd called Arianna just before four o'clock, but she hadn't picked up or returned my call. She must still be at the club with Jenny. So I kept my cell phone in my hand, staring at his name.I should have told Damien. Told him how I felt. He was right when he said he was the only one fighting for what we ha

I watched the black liquid drip down and gradually fill the cup with dishes of the same color. I continued to pour it slowly and without any pretense of paying attention to the task at hand. That's how I'd been acting since that morning after the Solstice.The cup finally reached the goal I had hoped for. I sighed and brought it to my lips, trying to convince myself to face the hours that awaited me outside. I concentrated only on the taste of the strong coffee for a few moments, but soon the scene was back in my mind. His blue eyes had a melancholy glow and were as hazy as the cloudy morning sky when we arrived at theinternational airport. He tried to convince me to accept the keys to his house one more time, but I stood firm in my decision.Finally giving up, he gently took my hand and brought it to his lips, placing a kiss full of devotion under my skin. I choked back a sob and Damien moved closer, placing his cupped hand on my left cheek.- Are you sure you don't want to come wit

He seemed to hesitate and then let out a long sigh.- I need to go back. - He revealed what I already knew, but added something more.Things in New York have changed a lot and I'll have no choice but to leave. My trip is scheduled for tomorrow. - Then I finally understood what was happening. The whole thing was our farewell. It was to end our relationship. I felt my heart speed up and then tighten in my chest. This was the momentthat I had always dreaded, even though I knew it was bound to happen. Damien and I were from different worlds and at some point the gap between us would become apparent.- It's all right. - I stroked the hair on the back of his neck and held his gaze, but when I felt my eyes getting teary, I put my face on his shoulder. - I'll understand.I had nothing to complain about. When we got together, our time together became something precious to me. So it wasn't fair to spoil the moments he had prepared for us with tears.- Ellen. - Damien called me, but I couldn't

Damien rested his free hand on my waist and we walked to the garage as if we were once again going to one of the usual parties. He chose the Ferrari this time and before long we were crossing Rio de Janeiro.Damien kept silent about our destination and really surprised me when he maneuvered the car and parked it in front of the international airport.- You'll be well looked after, Mr. Mason. - A man in a suit with an airport badge met us. - The platform is ready for you.- Platform? - I looked at Damien without understanding.He just smiled and led me into the airport. Another employee greeted us with a smile and I was stunned when we stepped onto the take-off platform.- Your private jet is ready, sir. I wish you a safe journey.He waved goodbye.- Jet? Damien, we're going...- We're going somewhere special. And since I know how much you like that airplane movie, I got a bit of inspiration since I know how to fly and I think I look better than Tom Cruise. - I let out a laugh.- Wait

David had a huge smile on his face when he entered the house and the first thing he did was announce that it was time to catch up on his series. Jenny and Arianna were also with us. Aunt Meiry had gone to the hospital, but couldn't follow us home, promising to come and see us later.- Things seem to be getting back to normal. - Arianna glared at me as I finished sorting out the chocolate cake I had made for David.- Yeah. It looks like they are. - I agreed.- What is it, Ell? - Jenny stopped pouring herself a soft drink next to me and stared at me. - You don't seem very excited.- I am. - I smiled at her. - I'm very happy that David is finally home.- But... - Jenny insisted. - You can't fool us, my friend. Go ahead.She gestured to Arianna who went to the door leading to the living room and then came back.- David is explaining something about that series he likes to Julia and Renata. We can talk about it.- I'm fine. - I assured them. They both looked at me incredulously. - Damien i
