CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 27: Frayed Emotions
Chapter 27Frayed EmotionsDamien (Flashback_Six months ago)“What do you mean she's gone?” Albert yelled, his voice thundering in the room. I bit back a wince, I could feel my ears ringing. 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 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

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 30And She Didn't Know A ThingElena (Flashback_six months ago)My head pounded in rhythmic beats that throbbed my senses as I slowly came to. I blinked my eyes, trying to adjust my eyes to the light. Where was I? I looked up at the white ceiling, not moving. I couldn't even move if I wanted to, my entire body felt like it was weighed out of lead and my mind couldn't urge my body to move. “Administer… first dose… second… fourth…” I heard faint voices from around me but I could hardly keep my eyes open, talk more of to see who it was. A sudden wave of exhaustion crashed into me and my vision blurred as I sank into darkness again. I don't know how long I was unconscious, I drifted in and out of consciousness, never staying too long on one side. I heard faint voices of people time and time again but I couldn't say a word, I was like an onlooker, watching as events passed. Except I wasn't watching any events, just a white ceiling. I groaned as I stirred, this time sensati

Chapter 31 Missing Pieces Elena (Flashback_Six months ago) “Lily… that's your daughter's name,” the doctor's words echoed repeatedly in my head. I had a daughter? The thought felt strange in my mind yet it also felt dear to me. Lily. It felt so familiar, so warm, as if it had always been a part of me. Was she really my daughter? “Your memory loss is most likely caused by the stress and trauma induced by the accident,” the doctor stared at me steadily. “It's not unusual,” he added, adjusting his stethoscope. “ We’ll continue to monitor your condition, and make sure you're alright.” Alright? The thought felt alien to me. I'd lost my whole memory, having no recollection of who I was, the things I liked and disliked. I definitely wasn't alright. I opened my mouth, wanting to ask more questions but the door opened at that moment, drawing my attention. Two people walked in—a man and a woman. They were both young but just based on appearance I felt the woman looked cl

Chapter 32Past And PresentElena(Flashback_Six Months ago)The sun cast a warm golden glow on us as we walked out of the hospital. “That's our car,” Jenna pointed out a black sedan that was parked out front. I nodded and we headed towards it and everyone got aboard. Lily went silent after we left the hospital, I still felt pangs of pain whenever I recalled her teary eyes as she'd sobbed about not being allowed to see me. Jenna occasionally threw glances at me but she didn't say much, content to just hum along to the song playing. Pascal too was silent, he'd put a headphone on and was transfixed with his phone. “Pascal,” Jenna nudged him and slowly ground the car to a halt. “We're here,” she nodded outside. I read the words on the signpost, ‘Subway Station’ We were taking a train ride? I wondered curiously. My curiosity didn't have to last long as Pascal pushed the door open and stepped out. “Study hard, you hear me?” Jenna called out after him. “And don't forget to call m

Chapter 33Unraveling SchemesDamien(Flashback_Six months ago) The day had started well enough, I'd just come out of the shower, the cold stillness of the house another Stark remainder of Elena's absence. Forget it, I snapped at myself in self reproach. She was gone and that was it. End of story.I'd just worn my trousers when my cell phone beeped suddenly, snapping me to the present. My eyes narrowed when I saw Clara's name flashing on the screen. Clara never called me if it wasn't important, what was so important she couldn't wait for me to get to the office first? I wondered, glancing at the clock. “There's an emergency, Sir,” Clara's voice was on edge and her words instantly made my nerves tense. “What happened?” I demanded, I put the phone on speaker and sped up my dressing. “The stocks we launched just last week are plummeting, and…” Clara hesitated, “There's something you need to deal with right here.” I felt a ball of ice freeze up my insides. “I’ll be there in twe

Chapter 34The Place Where Paths DivergedDamienJane's proposal weighed on my mind all through the day, even when I was driving back home. The chance of going to manage her company wasn't a chance many would get. Harrington Enterprises had since become a renowned and well placed company in the business world. Jane had steered away from publicity so not much was known about her, she was hardly even seen. Her proposal would mean a fresh start for next but I couldn't shake off the feeling that accepting her proposal felt like I was surrendering. What would Father say? I wondered, an image of Father's stoic face appeared in my head. He'd call me a coward I thought, sighing slowly.I was absent minded when I got home, mechanically taking off my clothes and taking a shower before I changed into something more comfortable.I'd just plopped down on a couch in the living room when my cell phone rang, breaking the silence. “Hello?” I spoke slowly, my voice flat. “Hello sir,” a voice spo

CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 64: Family
Chapter: 64: Family ElenaI just got off a call with Jenna and Lily when I realized I had nothing appropriate to wear.I turned to face Damien who was now standing by the kitchen counter. “What am I supposed to wear? I can’t go out in my work clothes,” I said just as the door bell rang. “They are here,” he said, as though he was expecting someone. “Who is here?” I questioned.“Your clothes,” he responded while I gave him a confused look. “I ordered something for you to wear,” he added, heading to the door to receive the package.“You don’t even know the size I wear.”“I’m not blind Elena, plus my hands have been around your body more than once,” he said, a grin placed on his face.“I think that makes me qualified enough to tell what size of clothes you wear,” he added, handing the package to me.“Go try it on and let me know if you like it,” he said, placing a kiss on my forehead. I couldn’t help but ask. “Why, why are you doing all this?” “Buying you clothes?”“Damien, you know

Chapter: 63: Where You Belong ElenaRing,Ring.Alarm noises filled the air waking me up from sleep. I don’t have an alarm, so why was I being woken up by one?I fluttered my eyes open as a pang of headache hit me. “Ahh,” I winced. Panic bubbled in my chest as I took in my surroundings. “What the hell.”I sat up quickly, my head spinning in the process. Think, Elena. Think.Bits and pieces of the night before made their way through my mind which only meant I was at Damien’s house. But why was I naked? “Did he? Did we,” confusion set in. I hadn’t gone all the way yet with Damien, and quite frankly I wasn’t ready too.The door creaked open, and I held my breath.A tall shirtless Damien stepped in. “You’re finally awake,” his voice came in smooth and calm, a stark contrast to how I felt on the inside. “What did you do to me?” “Where are my clothes?” I questioned annoyance etched on my face.“Whoa, whoa slow down Elena,” he said gesturing with his hands for me to calm down. “One

Chapter: 62: A Dangerous GameElenaThe alcohol was yet to kick in so I was still aware of my surroundings and could still speak normally. We kept walking in the cool night air without Damien saying a word. It was unsettling how he could be so silent while my mind was spinning with thoughts.“Are we going somewhere?” I asked, breaking the silence.He didn’t answer.I huffed. “What about the business you wanted to talk about?”Still nothing.I frowned, my steps starting to falter. “How long are we going to be walking for? I’m tired.”I exhaled sharply. “Won’t you at least say something?” I kept bombarding him with questions.“Why—,” left my mouth before he cut me off.“You talk a lot for someone who claims to be tired,” he finally spoke, amusement flicking in his eyes.“Well— my leg hurts not my mouth,” I shot back. His lips curved into a smirk. “So are you asking that I carry you?”I hesitated for a moment. ‘He wasn’t serious, was he?’ I thought, peeking at him from the corner of m

Chapter: 61:Unplanned Encounters Elena With a click of the door. Nothing, nothing happens “I locked the door when I came in,” Damien whispers in my ear. Relief at the sound of his words washed over me but it was short lived as Ethan’s voice came through. “Elena I know you’re in there, lunch break is going to be over soon.” We usually ate together during lunch breaks so it’s not surprising that he came looking for me. “Damien,” I whispered giving him a look that needed no explanation. “I’m coming Ethan,” I said awkwardly but loud enough to be heard outside the door. We both arranged our clothes, well mostly mine. Damien helped me, his fingers brushing against my skin wiping away the bodily fluids—the lingering traces of our intimacy. We were now both good as new for the most part. “I’ll see you later,” Damien said to only my hearing as I opened the door. It was hard to miss the surprised look on Ethan’s face. Damien paid him no mind walking past him
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 60: longing for?
Chapter: 60: longing for? Elena It’s been a few days since my make out session with Damien, I had tried avoiding him but that only made him want to get closer, and one way or the other we ended up being around each other. Whether it was in his office or mine, there was always a reason to be in the same space. Meetings, reports, last-minute approval, anything that required our interaction seemed to stretch longer than necessary. But that wasn’t all, I had found myself after work being driven home by him. I was now expecting to see his car waiting for me at the end of the day. The car rides were nothing close to a silent ride. We had talked so much, probably longer than we ever did throughout our marriage. He never asked if I needed a ride, he simply assumed I would take it. And what was worse? I let him. He felt different now. There was no denying the shift between us. I sighed, lost in thought as I turned the corner in the office hallway, barely paying attention to wh
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 59: Uninvited Encounters
Chapter 59: Uninvited Encounters Elena My mornings at Harrington Enterprises were with usual routine, except for the anxiety that always came with knowing I’d have to face Damien. Still, I had chosen to suppress it, to mask it beneath professionalism and composure. Today, however, something felt…off. A strange sense of unease crawled up my spine as I got dressed for work, but I didn’t want to focus on it. I arrived at the company building, walking through the familiar glass doors, my heels clicking softly against the tiled floors. But the moment I stepped into the elevator, my chest tightened. Sophia. She stood there, looking effortlessly beautiful in a fitted white dress, her long chestnut hair cascading over her shoulders. My eyes met her blue ones, and she smiled, the kind of smile that held more meaning than it should. “Good morning, Elena,” she greeted, stepping further inside as if this was her space. I smiled back giving her a curt nod. “Sophia.” The elev
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 58: Undeniable Truth
Chapter 58Undeniable TruthElena The ride home was dead silent, I didn't notice the death grip I had on the steering wheel. Damien's last words to me at the briefing kept echoing in my head, as did images of his cold detached expression when he'd walked past me. “You disappoint me.” His words pierced into me even then and I felt the knots in my belly tighten. I shouldn't think about this I thought, shaking my head but the thoughts lingered, like a weight I couldn't shake off. I felt a wave of exhaustion flood me when I finally got home, it was late already but the house lights were still on, meaning Jenna was up. I felt a pang of guilt at the thought of her having to pick Lily up from school and tuck her in after work. “Elena?” Jenna called out the moment I walked in, her voice faintly cheery. “It's me,” I said, forcing a smile. “Hey.” Jenna was busy at her laptop, her hands dancing above the keyboard as she clicked away. “What's wrong?” Jenna's sharp gaze saw
CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 57: Overt Ploy
Chapter 57Overt PloyElena What was Sophie doing here? The question remained with me when I walked back to my office, unanswered questions filling my mind. I couldn't help the faint jealousy that sprang up when I'd spotted Sophia walking out of Damien's office, were they back together? I wondered, or had they always been together? Perhaps the only good thing that'd happened was Damien promising to take care of Connor, I didn't know how but I'd found myself believing him. Perhaps Connor's actions wouldn't pose much of a threat, if Damien was that confident, he probably had a reason for his confidence. I'd just turned the corner when I nearly bumped into a trolley carrying a thick pile of files and some stationeries. “Watch where you're going!” I snapped, my annoyance temporarily spilling over for a moment and I moved aside to let the trolley move past. I was stunned to see another trolley following the first, it was also loaded with some things. Someone was moving? I wondered,

Chapter 56New safetyA gunshot? Luther's blood ran cold and he shivered uncontrollably on the spot, his eyes wide with fear. He must've been daydreaming he thought, but the stinging pain in his eardrums reminded him it wasn't a dream. A scream pierced the air abruptly and despite the closed door, Luther heard it loud and clear. Oh God no! Luther's eyes widened with full-blown shock and his back was drenched in cold sweat. He didn't hesitate to lock the door immediately, his hands were badly shaking and he leaned on the wall beside the door, taking in large gulps of air. His phone suddenly buzzed, startling him and Luther picked up the call without delay. “Hello,” Luther whispered, half scared that someone might listen to him, even now his mind raced with thoughts. “That could've been you just now, Mr. Luther,” the lady's voice spoke over the line, her tone was light and breezy.“Yo—you—” Luther stuttered, words failing him. “You knew—” he trailed off, his tone incredulous.
