Damon's pov Damon drove after the cab, his heart racing with worry and fear for Elysia. He arrives at the hospital before them and quickly rushes inside, searching for Elysia. He spots her being carried by Macy and immediately walks towards them, offering to take Elysia from her. Without hesitation, he carries Elysia on his arms and rushes to the nearest doctor, demanding they help her. He feels her body trembling with pain and fear, and his heart aches with guilt for not being able to protect her from harm. As they wait for the doctor's examination, Damon can feel Elysia's eyes staring at him, filled with confusion and doubt. He knows she has questions, but he doesn't want to answer them yet. Not until he figures out how to fix things, how to make things right between them. For now, all he can do is hold her close and pray that everything will be okay. As I walked outside the hospital, I took a deep breath of fresh air. My mind was in turmoil, and I needed a moment to collect my
Damon's pov Feeling the weight of Hector's threat bearing down on me, I knew I had to act fast. But before I could leave the hospital, I needed to make sure that Elysia was in good hands. I dialed Ellen's number, hoping that she would be able to come and stay with Elysia while I dealt with Hector. When she picked up the phone, her voice was icy and distant. "What do you want, Damon?" she asked, her words laced with disdain. "Ellen, it's me," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "Look, I need your help. I have to deal with something urgent, and I need you to come and stay with Elysia while I'm gone." Ellen sighed heavily, her irritation palpable through the phone. "Fine," she said finally, her voice dripping with resentment. "I'll be there in a few minutes." When she arrived at the hospital, I could feel the tension crackling between us. Ellen had always hated me, blaming me for all of Elysia's problems. I knew that her feelings were justified, but it still hurt to be on the rece
Elysia's pov I felt a sense of relief wash over me as Macy walked into the hospital room. I embraced her, grateful for her presence. "Macy, it's so good to see you," I said, my voice filled with warmth. Macy hugged me back tightly. "It's good to see you too, Elysia," she said. "I heard Damon was here. Is he still around?" I pulled away from Macy, a worried look on my face. "He had to leave in a hurry," I said. "Do you know why?" Macy shook her head. "He said something about work," she said, her voice tinged with concern. "But he seemed pretty agitated when he got the call." I frowned, wondering what could have happened to make Damon so upset. "Did he say anything else?" Macy hesitated for a moment before speaking. "He called Ellen too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. My heart sank as Macy spoke. I knew Ellen and Damon had a complicated relationship, and I couldn't help but wonder what he wanted from her. "Why did he call Ellen?" I asked, my voice trembling. Macy s
Damon's pov As I sat across from Hector in the crowded café, I couldn't help but feel a sense of annoyance at his presence. It wasn't that I feared him or even disliked him, it was simply that I found his constant meddling to be a nuisance. Despite our tumultuous history, I had hoped that he would have moved on from his obsession with taking everything from me. However, as he began to speak, I knew that my hopes had been in vain. Hector claimed that my father had lied to me and that he was indeed interested in taking over the transportation company, along with the casino. I was initially taken aback by this news, as I had always thought my father had no interest in the casino. But as I thought more about it, I realized that Hector may have been bluffing. "Why should I believe you?" I asked, eyeing him skeptically. Hector simply smiled in response, a sly look on his face that made me even more suspicious. I wondered what he was hiding, what cards he was holding close to his chest.
Damon's pov I ordered another cup of coffee, trying to calm my racing thoughts. Just as I took a sip, my phone rang. It was Julius, my top executive at the company. "Mr. Damon, there's a strange-looking man in your office. He's claiming that he'll shut down the company if you don't get here in ten minutes." I stood up abruptly, spilling some of my coffee. Who was this man and what did he want? I quickly paid for my coffee and left the cafe, heading straight to the company. I couldn't believe it. Just when I thought I was done dealing with Hector's madness, now there was another problem at my company. I quickly paid for my coffee and ran out of the cafe, trying to make it to my office in record time. I could feel my heart beating fast as I got into my car and started driving towards the company. I tried to calm myself down by taking deep breaths, but it was no use. The thought of someone trying to shut down my company was infuriating. As I drove, I couldn't help but wonder who thi
Damon's pov I could feel the anger boiling up inside of me as Julius tried to calm me down. "Don't worry about Arturo," he said, "He's just a small-time crook. You're bigger than him." "Bigger than him?" I spat out. "He threatened me, Julius. He threatened me and my family. And you're telling me not to worry? You're telling me to be the bigger man?" Julius put his hands up in a defensive gesture. "No, no, that's not what I meant, Damon. I'm just saying that we should look out for plan B. We should be prepared in case the private investigator doesn't find the guy who stole the drive." "Plan B?" I asked, incredulous. "What kind of plan B? We don't have any money to pay Arturo back with." Julius stepped closer to me. "That's where you're wrong, Damon. We can come up with the money. You just have to be creative. Think outside the box." I shook my head. "The money he wants is too much, Julius. I don't know how we're going to come up with that kind of cash." Julius leaned in and whisp
Elysia's pov Ellen's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I have an idea, Elysia. What if you move back in with Damon and pretend that you haven't recovered from your injury? It's the perfect way to find out what he's up to." My heart sank at the thought of being back under the same roof as Damon. "What do you mean?" I asked. Ellen leaned in closer. "You can use this to your advantage. If Damon thinks that you still have no memory of your past, he might let his guard down and reveal his true motives for taking ownership of the companies." I stared at my sister, Ellen, my heart heavy with grief and confusion. It felt like I was being asked to betray my own memories and myself. "You want me to move back in with Damon and pretend that I haven't recovered from my injury?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear. Ellen's eyes shone with determination, but I couldn't help feeling like I was drowning in a sea of uncertainty. "Yes, Elysia. It's the only way to find out what he's up to. You know
Elysia's pov I dialled Damon's number with shaky fingers, unsure of what I was going to say. My ankle throbbed in pain as I waited for him to pick up. "Hey, Elysia, what's up?" Damon's voice sounded calm and collected, but I knew better than to be fooled by his façade. "I'm about to get discharged from the hospital," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I was wondering if you could come back." "Of course, I'll be there in a few minutes," Damon replied. As I hung up the phone, my thoughts raced. I still couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Damon's behaviour lately. I couldn't trust him, not completely. But then a nagging voice in my head told me to give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he had a good reason for transferring ownership of my company and my father's company to his name. When Damon arrived at the hospital, I put on a brave face, pretending that everything was fine. I didn't want him to know that I was still struggling to trust him. "How's th
