CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 20: Shocking Encounter
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.

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.

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 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 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
