CEO's Luxury Lady Chapter 97
" - 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.

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

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
CEO's Luxury Lady Prologue
I jumped off the bus at the same time my heart seemed to leap out of my chest.Thirty minutes ago my cell phone had rung and Aunt Meiry had told me that my mother had been the victim of a stray bullet in a police operation in Complexo do Alemão, our community. I ran across the street and practically threw myself against the entrance doors of the hospital. I ran to the reception and almost tripped over my own legs. I made it to the bench panting:- Marta Souza. - I said to the receptionist.The blonde gave me a look full of contempt. I didn't blame her. It was quite likely that even I was looking at myself with disdain at that moment. I was wearing my usual waitress uniform and I certainly smelled greasy. My hair was pulled back in a ponytail and I could feel sweat beading at the roots of my hair. I was certainly not the kind of person who would walk into a hospital like that.- Operating room. - The girl took her blue eyes off the computer and stared at me for a few moments. - Second

- Come on, Ell. It'll be nice. - Ary insists while I prepare my brothers' breakfast. - What a boring thing to do, Ary. I said I can't. - I say angrily, asI spread the nearly expired, cheap bread slices with our last bit of Nutella. Well, from next month, we're officially embarking on the journey of chewing through plain bread slices.It had been a few months since I lost my mother and my life was in a mess, I had no energy or desire for anything, but I had to divide myself between working two jobs, being a mother to my siblings, putting food on the table and being well enough to support them, even though inside I was falling apart. On top of that, I still had to deal with the pressure of being sociable with my friends, who, ever since they found out about my routine, have been pestering me to do something to get me out of the sameness. -I’m not going to stop bothering you until you agree to go out with us to this event. - Answer me.- Have you heard yourself out loud? You're going

- Champagne, miss? - A blonde girl in a black uniform with a friendly smile offered me a glass.I smiled back at her before accepting her offer.- You're doing a great job... - I tried to read the small badge on her blouse. -Bruna. Thank you.The girl, who must have been around twenty-two like me, was surprised by my compliment, but then smiled.- You're very kind. - She returned my compliment and then left, leaving me alone once again.I sighed and looked back the way Arianna had come, hoping to see her, but I was disappointed. I then began to study the architecture of the hall carefully, while mentally comparing it to other classical works.Everything had been very well designed, I concluded. Who had been the architect?The decoration was impeccable and the crystal chandelier was the first to attract my attention. Soon after, my eyes caught sight of the tables decorated with crystal vases filled with roses of the most diverse colors. On them were also fine delicacies that I had neve

His blue eyes searched mine.- He lied about not knowing how to dance. - His fingers caressed my waist. - You seem to know very well what you're doing.I felt my face burn at having been discovered and looked away from him, returning to his collar. Damien laughed softly and his chest shook. - Is my appearance so astonishing, Miss Ellen? - He whispered and I felt the hairs of his stubble touch my face. His perfume was a fusion of notes unfamiliar to my sense of smell, but still undeniably overwhelming. - Or was it just impetuous nostalgia for his friends?Once again, his voice was full of smugness and irony. My tongue couldn't keep itself inside my mouth:- Do you consider irony to be a kind of charm?To my surprise, he let out another hoarse laugh. Then he pulled me closer, if that was possible. His hands made a bold path down my bare back. It sent a shiver through my entire body.- You always have an answer on the tip of your tongue, don't you? I like that. - I felt him brush his lips

His blue eyes locked on mine and he brought his mouth close to mine, brushing his lips across mine, and I almost gave in. I was burning up with all that game-playing, but I had to stay strong, they were different worlds, so no closer. Suddenly, the lights in the hall came back on and I remembered my situation. I was an imposter at his party. I didn't belong there. Damien and I didn't really suit each other. What's more, I wasn't enjoying my reactions at all, or noticing how I was losing control of the situation around him. That had never happened before, not even with Stephen.- I need to go. - I pushed him away from me and tried to leave the dance floor, but he stopped me with his fist:- I'm sorry, but I can't let you. - His voice sounded authoritative and his touch was possessive. What? What do you mean? And since when did he have any authority over me? Neither he nor any man would. I didn't want a man controlling me and telling me what to do, like that monster I once called father

- 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
CEO's Luxury Lady Chapter 95
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
