CEO's Luxury Lady Chapter 57
Absolutely not what I expected.When Damien parked the car and handed the keys over to a valet valet, I momentarily forgot the latest events. The gallery, whose French name I couldn't even pronounce, was surrounded by photographers and the press. The entrance reminded me of the premiere of an American movie and I was instantly intimidated by the magnitude of the event.My hands felt cold and I wrapped my fingers in the soft fabric of my dress. I wasn't prepared. This wasn't going to be like the golf match and I didn't feel confident facing all those people who werecame in richly dressed.- Ulysses is a bit of an exaggeration. - Damien's hand grabbed mine, making me loosen my dress.Damien, I don't think it's a good idea. I mean, I didn't imagine it would be like this and your friends, the people you know will be in there.inside. - I looked away from his face. - I'm sorry. I'm not suitable for this. Someone like me isn't suited to places like this.- Not suitable for an exhibition in

- I haven't known what that is for a long time. - Damien let out a sigh and I turned to look at him.He had a restrained expression, but when he turned to look at me I could see hurt in his blue eyes. I couldn't dodge the question:- Don't you know what?- Trusting people. In the position I'm in, trust can be very dangerous. very dangerous. It can be destructive. - the expression on his face turned hard. - That's why I solve my problems alone and avoid what needs to be avoided.It was disturbing to hear those words leave his lips because they were extremely familiar to me and I realized that I was beginning to understand a little more about the man next to me. Perhaps occupying a place in the elite wasn't all about ease and prestige. Maybe it was a bit lonely.- You mean you can't trust people in general? - I was curious to know more.- I trust only a limited number of people. You saw that, Darling. Willian tried to use you against me. In the world I live in, things aren't as simple a

The event was a great success for Ulisses. Several and some of the paintings were sold for several million dollars. Damien was one of those who paid for the works at the auction organized later. He bought the wood-carved painting that we had enjoyed together at the beginning of the exhibition.I didn't see Estevão's family again, but I did meet some Swiss businessmen, an Argentinian entrepreneur and the owner of a Brazilian airline. airline. And although the event was made up of many wealthy people, I noticed that most of them seemed intimidated by the presence of Damien. This put me in an unpleasant position, because I was constantly being scrutinized. Not only by the men, but also by the women. It was as if they wanted to make sure that I agreed with the man next to me. That I was compatible.I thanked myself several times during the evening for my good intuition when it came to choosing a dress. Damien was right when he said it was all image. People weren't interested in your chara

- You're wrong. You're nothing, Stephen. I've found something much better than you. - The words came out easily and I discovered that I had always wanted to say that. - You're just another idiot, immature and unable to take care of yourself. You don't value anything that's in your life and I feel sorry for you. I tried to let go of him, but he refused to let go of me. - Leave me alone! - Are you sleeping with him? - Stephen insisted. - You don't care! - Are you sleeping with him? - His eyes sparked and I decided to give him the answer he wanted and deserved to hear. - Yes, I'm sleeping with him, if that's what you want to know. - He finally let me go. - And you should know that he manages to give me a lot more pleasure than you do in all your two minutes. Stephen remained static and his mouth dropped open. His countenance at my response was priceless, but I still didn't waste much time on him. I just walked back to the lounge and found Damien talking to the Argentinian businessm

At first, I felt like I was falling. Then my muscles contracted in a spasm, foreshadowing the impact, but then, suddenly, I was safe. I was lying on something soft and cozy. I opened my eyes slowly and realized I was wrapped in a sheet, but I didn't recognize the room.- Good morning.I turned and saw Damien adjusting a watch on his wrist. His hair was combed and he smiled at me through the large mirror. I suddenly understood why I didn't recognize the room.- You slept on my papers yesterday and your room was locked. As I couldn't find the key, I brought it to mine. - He explained before I could speak.- The key. - I repeated and slipped my hand into the pocket of the robe on my thigh and pulled out the metal object.- I should have looked there. - He smiled again, this time with a hint of mischief.It was then that I stopped to look at my own reflection in the mirror and completely panicked when I realized how hideous I looked. My hair was mussed and the expression on my face was re

David was much better. That's what I saw when I laid eyes on him. He was flushed and chatting animatedly with Arianna and Julia, trying to explain the incredible story of Star Trek to them. The two didn't seem to understand very well, but they listened attentively.- Good morning. - I said, pushing open the bedroom door.All the faces turned to me, but I could only pay attention to the genuine smile that David showed when he saw me.- Ell! Look what Arianna brought me. A new Star Wars shirt!He lifted the shirt over his knees and I glanced at Arianna. She smiled at me excitedly.- Very pretty, Jedi. - I encouraged him by approaching the bed to kiss his forehead. - You can wear it to the next geek convention that's organized.- That's what I told him. It's perfect for those events he makes us go to. - Julia made me laugh and David grimaced.- You really are an untimely sister. - David replied. He loved using complicated words to annoy Julia.- And you're very nerdy using these weird wo

- I'm not trying to get your hopes up, Ellen. But you made me promise after Stephen that I would always be honest about your relationships. - She sighed. - I hate to say it, but Damien doesn't deserve you. No matter how nice and pleasant he's being, remember what he really wants. It's not about the money, Ell. It's the way he sees things. If only he'd change. If he saw you for who you are, he could give you what you deserve.- But...Arianna looked sad and her eyes were melancholy. I realized that she didn't want to hurt me, but she was playing the role I had always asked her to play. She was being my loyal and sincere friend. Warning me of danger. Deep down I knew she was right. Damien was still the same. Maybe the closeness and all the games were forcing him to behave differently, but that didn't mean anything. So why did I think this could be the start of something? Why did I keep imagining that maybe I could still spy on the man behind the power? Why did I care about seeing his tr

I felt terribly guilty for making that trip. For leaving David. So much so that in the middle of the week I had given up on going to Argentina with Damien, but after the doctor's own words that the chances of David suffering any changes in his state of health were very small, I ended up reconsidering the idea. On Saturday morning, I flew to Argentina with Damien. Argentina.The journey was uneventful, although I slept most of the way. When we arrived in Buenos Aires, just after two o'clock in the a helicopter was waiting for us to take us to the island in the south Atlantic named after the owner. And when we finally landed Santiago, I was immediately fascinated by the beauty of the place.Full of vibrant colors and exotic plants, as well as the sparkling blue sea that dotted the landscape in the distance. It was a true paradise. Santiago came to meet us in person and invited us to a dinner at a restaurant in his resort. Then he took us to the house he had prepared to receive us. Quite

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
