He's A SavageElenaMy mind was a whirlpool of emotions by the time I arrived at Mike Lipton’s office. His office was an old high-rise building just off the road leading towards Chinatown.The elevator was out of order so I was forced to use the stairs. By the time I arrived at the office on the sixth floor I was breathing hard and I could feel my shirt sticking to my back.What kind of investor couldn't invest in a functioning elevator? I grumbled under my breath.I recognized his assistant who rose to her feet as I approached.“I'd like to see Mr. Mike please,” I went straight to the point.“Well,” she hesitated, unsure if she was going to speak.“Is Mr. Mike not in?” I asked, glancing at my watch, and frustration filled me.“He is, it's—”“I have an appointment with him,” I frowned, wondering why she'd kept on prattling.“Okay,

CHASED BY TWO BILLIONAIRES 38: A Different Shade Of Him
Chapter 38 A Different Shade Of Him Elena My heart was in my throat when the door slammed open with a force that rattled the walls. “Do you want to die?” Damien's roar shook the walls as he strode in, his expression changed drastically when he spotted us through the open bathroom door. Before I could blink he'd crossed the room and jerked Mike away from me. “Get your hands off—” Mike struggled to get rid of Damien's grip but his words were cut short as Damien punched him in the face. “Damn you,” Damien's moves were nothing like an inexperienced fighter, his every move was aimed at the vitals. Mike didn't stand a chance, within moments he was beaten to a pulp. But Damien didn't stop. “Damien stop,” I yelled, trying to hold his hands but it was as if he'd been possessed, his blows were unceasing. Mike had stopped struggling, his entire face was bloody. He looked like he might breathe his last at any moment. “Damien,” I yelled, my face wet with tears. It was then th

Chapter 39Conflicted HeartsElena“Wait, you mean he actually did that?” Jenna's voice was filled with disbelief at my words. “He cut off ties with the guy? That's huge,” Jenna's surprise mirrored mine. “I know,” I said, my mind still at a standstill since I'd seen the news all over TV. “Are you okay, Elena?” Jenna asked, lowering her voice. “Like are you really okay? How do you feel?” “I…” I hesitated, instantly pressing down some memories that threatened to rear their ugly head. “I'm better,” I finally said, sinking into the couch. Jenna's silence didn't feel believable, “I was really worried, Elena,” she whispered. “And what's going on between you and your boss?” Jenna asked. “He's doing an awful lot for you, it's crazy.” “Dami— I mean, he's like that,” I said. An image of Damien beating the shit out of Mike appeared in my head. “Is something going on between you two?” Jenna asked carefully. “I—” the words I'd been about to say lodged in my throat and I paused.

Chapter 40Unraveling TiesElena“Okay, that's enough Elena,” Jenna seemed to have reached the limit of her patience. I'd just told her that I wasn't going to be coming home for the meantime. “I can't just sit here and do nothing, Elena,” she argued, “let me come see you.” “Jenna,” I sighed even as her concern touched me. “Don't worry, I'm—” “Stop it,” Jenna snapped, cutting me off. “I can't stay here, telling Lily you're okay when I haven't laid my eyes on you. I have to see you,” Jenna said, basically not giving me any other choice. “I…” I sighed, slowly nodding my head. “Alright Jenna, I'll text you the address now.” Jenna sure must've sped to get here or my mind was playing tricks on me. Jenna took less than an hour to get here. “Elena,” her eyes scanned me over the moment I opened the door and I saw the relief that flooded her features. I felt slightly guilty for making her so worried. “You look better,” she forced a smile, staring at me closely. “But you still look like

Chapter 41 Threads of Deceit The 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. “W

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

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

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

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: 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

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

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

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

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,

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.
