CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 18 : Confrontation
Chapter 18 Confrontation Elena “What's the matter?” Jay noticed my uneasy expression and he nudged me slightly. “I…” I was just about to speak when a commotion from the front dragged my attention. “I will volunteer,” a woman stood up, she was at the other end of the hall. “I met all the requirements,” she added, adjusting her suit, she looked confident. 'Hmmm,’ I noticed Olivia's lips curling into a small smile as she stared at the woman. “That's Claire… isn't she Olivia's niece?... I heard so too…” Whispers and murmurs broke out amongst the employees and I heard bits and pieces. Olivia's niece? My heart sank as their words sank in, I had a bad feeling about this. Something wasn't right. Indeed. Olivia's eyes scanned across the room, “If there's no one else then we'll move—” “Wait,” Conor raised his hand, interrupting her. “Are there any other volunteers?” He asked again, gazing intently at the room. Olivia's eyes narrowed coldly in displeasure, she didn't look happy at

Chapter 19 Still ScarredElena“Wait, you mean you got put on the team?” Jenna couldn't believe her ears. “Yup,” I nodded and I beamed a smile at her. “Conor put me on the team, I was lucky though.” “You were,” Jenna agreed, taking a seat beside me. I'd come back home late from the office, I'd been so preoccupied trying to get up to speed on Project Houston I hadn't even noticed the time. The thought of the project sent a thrill through me. The project was a massive one, I couldn't even wait to get started. For the first time in months, I actually felt like I was finally using my skills for something important. I had more chances to convince a mouse to fly than to use my skills in Father's company, not like he'd even given me a chance. What if I hadn't gone today? I shuddered to think of the thought. I was about to speak to Jenna when I saw her pick up her phone, and an all too familiar smirk reached her face. “Hey honey,” she chuckled like a little child and she waved at me

Chapter 20Shocking EncounterElena The office was a bustle of movement with people moving back and forth and the odd person answering a ringing phone. My head was spinning as I stared at the computer screen, trying to make sense of the figures. It'd been a few weeks, and I'd been swimming in figures every day. At first, Conor hadn't trusted me with the more detailed and important figures but a few setbacks had forced his hand and he'd given everything to me to proofread. And now? I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Now he was only too happy to dump everything on my desk. “Elena,” a voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned to see Conor striding towards me. But the expression on his face gave me pause. Was something wrong? I wondered, my heart skipping a beat and I wondered if I'd made any mistakes in the figures I'd quoted. The thought had barely crossed my mind when a sudden hush filled the office space. I craned my neck and spotted Clara, the CEO's secretary.

Chapter 21Shifting PowerDamienElena? What was she doing here? I felt my mind spin as I stood on the spot, my gaze fixed on the door she'd just walked out of. She'd changed, her hair was plusher and she looked more… I couldn't quite place my finger on it, but she was so much more than I could remember. I could still feel the warmth from her lips on mine. Conor had come in with the draft of this proposal and I'd noticed he hadn't been able to explain the subtle sides of it. Out of frustration, I'd asked for the finished proposal and he'd confessed it was handled by someone, Elena.The name had piqued my curiosity, but I'd never imagined in my wildest dreams that she was the one. She'd come in with some documents I recalled, quickly turning to pick them up, my brows shot up as I scanned through the file. This project? She was part of it? I frowned, scanning through the detailed proposal. Oh, she was good, I unconsciously nodded my head as I read through. She'd added second, t

Chapter 22 In confusion Elena I felt the walls closing in on me as I walked through the hallways, a few files in hand. I was so disconcerted I nearly tripped over my feet. Damien was the CEO? The revelation crashed into me like a novelty and I felt my mind bubbling as shock coursed through me. What kind of shitty luck was this? I wondered, out of all the companies I ended up working for. I just had to pick Damien's company. Thoughts and questions filled my mind and I could feel a headache coming on as I tried to think of what to do next. What was I going to do? My mind was blank as I tried to piece my thoughts together. Damien was the CEO and he'd seen me, I didn't think he would just ignore me after he'd seen me. What if he told Albert? My heart stopped and I broke out into a cold sweat. I had to leave. Now! The thought spurred me into action and I quickened my pace and I headed back to my desk space. I couldn't think about Project Houston or whatever, I thought and a feeli

Chapter 23Holding On To Her NerveElenaMy heart felt stuck in my chest as I looked up into Damien's cold eyes and my breath caught in my throat. It took all of my willpower not to stare at him with knowing eyes. Instead, I remained cold, staring at him with dark eyes and a neutral expression. “What's going on?” Damien pressed, he sidestepped me, picking up my letter on the desk. He was silent for some moments before he turned back to me. “You want to resign?” Damien's tone was soft as he stared at me. “Why?” “I…” I swallowed, hesitating, I could vaguely see a small flash of suspicion in his eyes. He was testing me, I realized. Testing to see if I still recognized him, he probably thought I was resigning because of him. And he was right. My action of trying to resign suddenly felt like a dumb move. “I can't continue in your company any more sir,” I said, staring at him coldly. “But why?” With two wide strides, Damien appeared beside me, his presence overpowering me. “Her,”

Chapter 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 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.

CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 49: Worth The Risk?
Chapter 49Worth The Risk?Elena My heart thudded erratically as I followed behind Damien and got into the car. I sure hoped I was doing the right thing, I thought, staring out the window. “It's so pretty,” Lily's eyes were bright like fireflies as she stared around at the sleek interior of the car. I didn't have any reaction, I'd expect nothing less from the CEO of a company. “Yes,” Damien smiled, his eyes reaching mine but he didn't say a word. He put the car in drive and slowly reversed, before driving out of the parking lot. I glanced at Jenna's car that I'd left parked in the corner, silently wondering how many tickets it'd accumulate by the time I was back. Damien drove on in silence, the air filled with unspoken thoughts. I silently noted his tensed expression that he'd hidden very well, something was up. “So…” I broke the silence, keeping my gaze focused straight ahead. “What’s going on?” “Not here Elena,” Damien didn't glance in my direction, his gaze also fixed ahea
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 48: Take A Leap
Chapter 48Take A LeapElena My heart was in my stomach as I drove to Lily's school. I was driving faster now, my stomach a tangle of nerves. Damien's text had completely unnerved me, I'd texted him the address of Lily's school instead of the house. It'd be safe there I silently assured myself, thinking of the crowd that'd be around the school. My heart leaped to my throat as I pulled up into Lily's school and I parked, quickly pulling out the key and getting out of the car. I was almost fifteen minutes late, I noted, glancing at my little wristwatch. I'd just reached the top of the front stairs when the door opened and a parent walked out, child in tow. I nodded in greeting as I walked past, heading inside. The children usually sat around in the front hall as they waited for their parents. “Miss Elena?” A teacher I recognized smiled as she got to her feet but I didn't look at her, my eyes sweeping around in search of Lily. 'Where is she?’ I felt my heart sink as I glanced th

Chapter 47A Choice In The Midst Of DangerElenaThe house was quiet when I walked in and I finally heaved a sigh of relief, Lily had gone to school and finally I could have some peace. Too soon. The thought had barely registered in my mind when Jenna poked her head around the corner, her gaze searching. “You're back,” she said, smiling but I could feel the deluge of questions that hid behind her smile. I'd come back home a few days ago, Lily was over the moon and she'd literally been glued to me all day, I'd felt very guilty about it so I'd spent all my time with her, trying to make it up. “Lily says she wants to be a ballerina for Halloween,” I chuckled drily, forcing a smile. “You're still home?” I asked. Normally Jenna would've headed to work by the time I came back. “There was a small emergency yesterday,” Jenna mumbled through a mouthful of cereal she'd prepared. “So we're having the day off.” I nodded in understanding. “It's about time you spoke to me, Elena,” Jenna ke
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 46: A Dead End
Chapter 46A Dead EndDamienThe office was silent as I tried to focus on the documents I was going through, but my mind kept on drifting back to Elena. It'd been three days. She hadn't called or come into the office, I’d tried to tell myself that I shouldn't care. I'd wanted calling multiple times but I always chickened out at the last moment. What was I going to tell her? What should I even tell her? I was her boss, bosses didn't call employees asking when they felt like resuming work. Bosses didn't also develop feelings for their employees, a voice whispered in my head. The thought made me freeze, my hand holding the pen pausing mid-air. “Damn it!”I cursed softly under my breath and I dropped the pen with frustration. I had a lot of paperwork to clear up but the thought of Elena just wouldn't leave my mind. Despite myself I took out my cell phone and thumbed through it, my fingers pausing when I got to her contact. I stared at her contact details, feeling deeply conflicted
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 45: Open Threats
Chapter 45Open ThreatsThe office was dead silent when Victoria walked in, the sound of her heels echoing in the room. She had a satisfied smirk on her face seeing the looks of utter shock on the faces of the directors. They had ample reason to be shocked. Victoria had connected her system to the projector in the boardroom and she'd projected certain things, the directors had gotten the shock of their lives. There were four men in the room, they should've been more but Frank had assured her that there'd been only four directors present at the meeting. This made Victoria relieved, things were still within her control. The board had nine directors, two were loyal to her, and the other three, they answered to Michael. The four who were meeting were all leaning towards Damien, so it was obvious what they were up to. Victoria didn't dare allow things develop further, if Michael got a whiff of what was happening it could bring unexpected problems. She didn't dare push her luck. “Wh

Chapter 44Behind The MaskDamien Thud! Thud! Thud! My arms and muscles felt sore as I pounded my fists on the sandbag with venom. I wasn't a frequent regular to the gym, I kept in shape but just enough to not look like those walking bags of muscle. I didn't want to admit it, but I needed to let off some steam. Especially after my conversation with her. Elena. Her name had been on my mind all morning, I'd come to the gym with the hope an intense workout would snap her out of my thoughts. I was wrong. Even now her words from last night echoed in my head. “You married a woman you didn't love, treated her like trash...You made her leave you…You made her sign this contract…” Elena's words echoed non stop in my head, even now I could feel her deep seated pain. Pain that I'd caused. What was wrong with me? I growled under my breath, punching at the sandbag with greater frequency and vigor. I'd hurt her, oh I really had, guilt pricked at me as memories of the old Elena flowed th
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 43: No Loose Ends
Chapter 43No Loose EndsThe office was quiet and peaceful, Victoria was at her desk as she went through company reports and documents. Managing the company wasn't an easy feat but she'd put in her utmost effort in it. Father wasn't inclined to patience, especially if he noted any mistakes. And no mistakes would be made, Victoria decided, her brows clamped together and she focused on the papers with unwavering concentration.Father had given her control of the company weeks after she'd made Damien discredited. A smile crawled up her face as she recalled the incident. It'd been so easy doing Damien in, all she'd had to do was bribe a few board members, a few bad suggestions here and there, and voila! Damien had been relegated to the background by Father in a fit of rage, he'd not spoken a word to Damien for weeks. He'd eventually given Damien one of the newly acquired companies as a form of redemption. Victoria smiled again, she'd also wrecked his chance of redemption. She'd done
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 42: New Deal
Chapter 42New DealElena The room was silent and Damien's eyes were still fixed on me, his unasked questions still hung in the air. Should I tell him the truth? The big question lay before me, the problem was, I couldn't decide. I still clutched the document in my hand, my bold italic signature stood out in my gaze, a reminder of the contract I'd committed myself to so many months ago. “I'm telling you the truth Elena,” Damien stared at me. “I wouldn't lie to you, not about this.” I sighed, glancing away. Despite myself, Damien's words had the ring of Truth in them. I only wondered what he'd say if I revealed I'd never lost my memory in the first place. But even now, after all these months the memory of our last encounter before the accident lingered. I could still see the image of Damien tangled with Sophia at his office, and I could still hear his cold words in my head. “I don't remember any of it,” I whispered, meeting Damien's gaze levelly. “If I had a husband I'd remember
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 41: Threads of Deceit
Chapter 41 Threads of DeceitThe room was silent as Magaret sat calmly in her seat, her face was illuminated by the faint glow from the fire in the fireplace. She was comfortable in her seat as she sipped tea from a mug in her hands, this was one of Magaret's favourite pastimes. Victoria was standing by the window, on a call. She looked a little annoyed as she spoke into the phone, obviously having a heated conversation. “Is there a problem?” Magaret asked, noticing Victoria had ended her phone call. “No,” Victoria shook her head, not saying more. “It's just a little issue at the company.” “Well done,” Magaret nodded, and she stared at Victoria, hints of praise filling her eyes. “You've done well, Victoria,” Magaret's voice was filled with pride. “It was so easy to dispose of Damien,” Magaret chuckled. “He didn't see it coming,” a small smile touched her lips. “It's not over Mother,” Victoria's expression didn't shift despite the praise Magaret had heaped on her.“We can't af
