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 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

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

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 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

Chapter 50A Price For EverythingDamienThe room felt empty after Elena left, but my mind couldn't have been any more filled with thoughts. I'd reassured her of her safety, hers and Lily's and I planned to keep my word. I silently waited, staring into space as my mind moved quickly between multiple things. Priest had taken them home personally, he'd also arranged for men to watch over them. I didn't have any doubts that he'd do a good job. Soon the sound of footsteps filled the air and Priest appeared at the door, his huge body filled the entire door frame. “Is it done?” I asked, not looking up from my position. “Yes,” Priest nodded gruffly, stepping past the door. “I've arranged the men, they'll watch her at all times and will split up whenever she drops the kid at school.” “Good,” I nodded in satisfaction. “If any other person is found trailing her, make sure you find out who's behind it,” my eyes narrowed dangerously and Priest nodded without emotion. Till now I couldn't p

Chapter 51Strings AttachedDamien“Name your price, Mr Lucas.” Sophia's words made me draw in a sharp intake of breath and I was secretly stunned, I could tell she was serious. The other two men sat impassively, I couldn't get anything from their expressions but their silence meant Sophia could speak on their behalf. As for the hidden meaning in between her words, I didn't consider it. It was strange, but I felt the Sophia before me was subtly different. Price? What price could I actually name for her? I wondered, sinking deeper into my thoughts. I didn't worry about her intentions behind this deal, she was acting out of necessity. The problem was, what price would be appropriate?“I'll need to speak to my people,” I finally broke the silence, my eyes meeting hers. “You see, they'll also have to evaluate your offer and…” I trailed off, putting a conflicted expression on my face. “I—” Sophia looked surprised but she quickly adjusted her expression and she nodded. “I'll be waitin

Chapter 52Contingency PlanElena The drive home was silent as I sat in the back seat, my nerves taut from the tension that filled my frame. I occasionally sneaked glances at the cold expression of the man at the steering wheel, he'd been silent ever since we got into the car. I'd just glanced at him when he met my gaze in the rearview mirror, his gaze was sharp and cold. “Mummy,” Lily's voice snapped me out of my daze and she tugged my sleeves lightly. “What's wrong?” I tried to look calm and I leaned in closer to her. Lily had been quiet ever since we got into the car, I'd almost forgotten she was there. “He's scary,” she whispered, her bright eyes fixed on the man in the driver's seat. Damien had called him Priest I recalled, such a strange name. “Oh my baby,” I chuckled after stealing a glance and making sure Priest didn't have any reaction. He didn't. “He's just taking us home,” I whispered while stroking her hair. Lily pouted but she didn't do anything else except snugg

We both got back into the house, and I left Damien who was in a conversation with Priest outside. Damien had asked Priest to be in charge of my protection so he was mostly around my apartment.“How was last night? Jenna’s voice came in giving me a suggestive look.I chuckled. “Nothing.” Jenna smirked, leaning in closer. “Uh-huh, you sure nothing’.” she cocked an eyebrow. “That’s exactly what people say when something happens,” she added. I rolled my eyes, trying to suppress a smile. “I’m serious, and Lily is here,” I added gesturing that we would talk later.Her features lightened up and I needed no one to explain how far her thoughts ran. “Mommy let’s go,” Lily tugged at my dress looking up at me with wide eyes. Jenna waved a hand dramatically. “Fine, fine, I’ll let it go… for now. But just know, I have questions and I expect answers later.”“ Alright,” I said reassuring her
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

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

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

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,
