Elysia's Pov I kept staring at the man, he had a sinister look on his face as he pushed me against the wall, trapping me between his arms. "Don't you dare scream," He growled, his breath hot on my face. "Or everyone will believe the rumor that you cheated on Damon. You wouldn't want that, now would you?" Tears welled up in my eyes as I shook my head, unable to speak. I had no idea what he was talking about. But I knew for sure, my body was familiar with his touch! I had no recollection of my past, let alone any infidelity. His grip on my shoulder tightened, causing me to flinch. "Good," he sneered. "Because if you do, I'll make sure Damon never believes a word you say. He'll think you're nothing but a lying, cheating whore." I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down in tears, my body shaking with sobs. He finally released me, watching with a cruel smirk as I crumpled to the ground, calling myself a cheat. I felt lost, confused and alone. I knew I had to talk to Damon and tell
Elysia POV. The room resounded with the knock from the door. A kind of fear gripped me and I instantly hit Hector on a spot on his neck, successfully tossing him off my body rendering my body lonely of his touch. It didn't matter now though, what was more important was making sure whoever was at the door heard nothing and didn't find out that I was not alone all this while. I smoothed the clothes I was wearing, covering the side Hector had opened while he performed his very wanted assault on me. I walked to the door, after I schooled my appearance and regulated my breathing, I opened the door of the restroom to see Danica standing there with a puzzled look in her eyes. "What have you been doing there?" She asked, trying to peer behind me, possibly to have even the slightest idea of the escapades I had going on. However, I didn't let her. The door was only open enough for her to see my face, though I had fixed my clothes, I still did not want her to see anything, I couldn't risk h
Damon's POV. Warren rushed downstairs and I could not allow him to leave even for a second without telling me what he meant by those words. However, Alfred was standing there, he was waiting there in the bowling alley and at the moment, it wasn't any concern of Alfred what was going on. I was torn between what to do. Warren was already making his way downstairs and I was too curious, I was burning with anxiety and I needed to quench the fire. I turned to Alfred "I'll be right back, I need to get something from my car". Alfred had a slight confusion on his features but I was not in the mood to iron out that crease. What Warren had said was more important. So without waiting for him to even grunt, much less say anything, I ran downstairs to meet Warren. He waa waiting beside my car and there was no reason to but I still grabbed his arm anxious to know "what is the reason why you said Hector may not be a danger to Elysia?" Warren looked directly into my eyes, from his appearance, he
Elysia POV I found myself in Damon's garden back at San Jose. The garden was as lovely as I had known it. I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or this was a reality but I knew at that moment I was feeling things and it was intense. I felt so much anger and so much pain I gad no idea caused. A wail tore through my hearing senses that stunned me. I wanted to turn around to find where that noise had come from. I wanted to know who it was that was crying. I wondered if I coukd provide them help. But I couldn't move. I was confused, baffled at the unfavourable conditions I had found myself. It felt like I was a passenger in a car that was driving itself. Like I knew that it was a car, a vehicle that belonged to me but I could not drive it. It appeared that I could, it was like I was on the fucking driver's seat, holding thw steering wheel but I knew the car was moving and i was not in control. That was how I was feeling. The car was my body, it belonged to me, I should be in charge but I
Elysia POV "What the fuck is wrong with you?" I yelled at him. He only slightly shook his head, it was like he understood my outburst but he was also quite fed up with it. He didn't like it. His lips moved like he was going to say something and so I waited to listen to what he wanted to say. "There was no way I could've told you about that" his voice was calm, like the cold water quenching the fire burning in my heart. He looked like his patience was stretched thin but he was trying so hard to not yell back at me. He needed to be the rational one in the room and I was hugging my role quite well. "Why couldn't you?" It made no sense to me, they had told me that Ian was my child and I was married to Damon but they couldn't tell me that I had a child that had died? "You had just had the accident , I didn't want you to be confused and I didn't want to see you hurt any more than you already were" His words touched a place in my heart, I felt my anger subsiding but I didn't want it
Elysia's POV. I kept kissing him and he was also kissing back. His hand did not ravage my body, nor did the kiss feel lustful. It was a pained one and I could feel it especially when I opened my eyes and saw his eyes. His eyes had tears swelled up in them and he looked like he was broken from within. My mom's voice came into my head, she had said the past wasn't beautiful between him and I and in eyes I could feel the truth in those words. It seemed like the last wasn't only not beautiful, it was hideous and disgusting and it seemed that it was both of our faults. However, I wasn't the woman I used to be, I had no idea who I even used to be, but right now, my heart clenched seeing him cry and so I lifted my lips and kissed his eyes. Trying yo relay that where he once saw pain, he could see love now. He held my chin and kisses my lips softly. It was a short kiss and I loved it. "I'm hungry". He suddenly said. I couldn't hold back the laugh and he was laughing as well. The soun
Elysia POV After we left the park, he still did not say anything to me. He had a cold look in his eyes and a air of apathy but it was more than that. He was just avoiding me, he wasn't mean or anything or even made I obvious that he was avoiding me but the little things he did made me know that he did not want to be close to me. When the night came i couldn't sleep, my head was turning in degrees and it was hard for me to know what to do about him. He had said that he was a ticking time bomb and it was all because of me, I dont even remember half of what I did or why I did whatever, and now i had put the lives of my family in danger. This explained why he was hostile towards me why he wasn't particular straightforward and last night waa like a cheat day for him. I coukd hardly get enough sleep and my thoughts were running wild every second. He was sleeping soundly beside me, the sound of soft snores came from him and I looked at him but I couldn't sleep. I wanted him to hold me lik
Elysia Pov I woke up to the feeling of warmth beside me. I opened my eyes to see Warren sitting next to me, his face etched with concern that had me furrowing my brows in confusion. I groaned, my head throbbed and I could feel a massive headache coming on. "Warren, where's Damon?" I asked, turning to face him. Why am I here? Warren's expression changed, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that something was wrong. "Damon's back at the hotel, Elysia," he replied flatly. My instincts screamed at me, something was wrong. "What? Why? What happened?" I asked, my voice filled with concern. I rubbed my temple, the headache was between my eyes now. I looked up when He didn't answer. "Warren, what's going on?" I asked when he hesitated to look at me. "Warren," I said in a warning tone. Warren took a deep breath and began to explain. "Damon was feeling unwell yesterday evening, so he decided to head back to the hotel to get some rest. I stayed with you, in case you needed anythin
Elysia's pov Damon turned towards me, his expression still unreadable. "If you want to be the CEO, Elysia, you're going to have to work for it. You'll start as my assistant, and we'll see how you handle the job. If you prove yourself, then maybe we can talk about making you the CEO." I gritted my teeth, my fists still clenched. I couldn't believe that he was making me jump through all these hoops just to prove myself. "I don't need your help, Damon," I spat out, my anger boiling over. "I can do this on my own. I don't need you to hold my hand and guide me through everything." Damon's lips quirked up in a small smile. "Is that so? Well, then. I guess we'll see how well you do on your own." He walked towards the door, turning back for a moment to add one final remark. "But just remember, Elysia. This is my company as much as it is yours. And I won't let you ruin it." I watched him leave, feeling a mixture of anger and frustration. I couldn't believe that Damon was making things so
Elysia's pov "I can't believe you're doing this to me, Damon!" I yelled, my frustration and anger mounting with each passing moment. "You know how hard I've worked to build up that company, and now you're telling me that I'm not fit to take over? That's complete bullshit!" Damon's expression remained calm, but I could see the hint of irritation in his eyes. "Watch your language, Elysia," he said firmly. "You're not doing yourself any favors by acting like this." I didn't care. I was too angry to care. "You know what, Damon? Screw you!" I spat, my voice rising with each word. "Screw you and your stupid mother! She've been trying to steal my company for months, and now you're using my memory loss as an excuse to take it away from me. You've taken over my family's company, and now you are doing this to me as well. Well, I'm not going to let that happen." Helen, who had been standing beside Kylian, stepped forward, her face twisted in anger. "You're lying, Elysia," she said, her voice
Elysia's pov "Take the money and move," he said, his voice shaking. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I took the bag and slowly backed away. The man followed me, his gun still trained on me. As I spun to my right, and I saw his car parked just a few yards away. He motioned for me to follow him, and I complied. We walked in silence, the only sound being our footsteps and the occasional sound of a car passing by. When we got to his car, he opened the trunk and told me to put the bag inside. My hands were shaking as I tried to lift the heavy bag. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I looked down and saw a gunshot wound. I stumbled, trying to stay upright, and the bag fell to the ground. "Come on, hurry up!" he shouted. I struggled to pick up the bag, feeling the blood soaking through my pants. Eventually, I managed to place the bag inside the trunk. I turned to face him, my eyes blurry with tears of pain and fear. But then, something strange happened. The man was lying
Damon's pov My heart skipped a beat as my father rushed into the room with a gun in his hand. I had never seen him so unhinged before, and it scared me. "Father, put the gun down," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "This isn't the way to handle things." But my father was beyond reason. He pointed the gun at Quincy, his eyes blazing with anger. "You'll pay for what your father did to me!" he shouted. I could see the fear in Quincy's eyes as my father took aim, and I knew I had to act fast. I lunged forward, grabbing my father's arm and trying to wrestle the gun away from him. "Stop it, Father!" I yelled. "This isn't the answer!" But my father was too strong for me, and he pushed me away with a fierce shove. I stumbled backwards, watching in horror as he pulled the trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoed through the room, and for a moment, everything was still, as my father shot at the roof. I felt sick to my stomach as I realized what had just happened. The board members
Damon's pov It was morning, and Elysia looked radiant as she sat at the breakfast table, sipping her coffee and nibbling on a croissant. But even as I watched her, something nagged at me, deep in my heart. Had she remembered? Had she figured out what I had done? As she rose from the table and headed upstairs to change, I took a deep breath and tried to shake off my anxiety. But when she reappeared, dressed and ready to go, my nerves were still on edge. I tried to put on a brave face as we headed to the living room, where our son Ian was playing with his toys. But I could feel the tension between us, and I knew that something was off. As I settled onto the couch, my phone beeped with a new message. I glanced over the screen, and my heart skipped a beat. It was from Julius, "Quincy Randolph, is at the transportation company, he held an open meeting. Where are you?" My eyes turned red with anger. How dare he? How dare he try to steal my company out from under me? I stood up, my
Elysia's pov As I drove down the road towards the beach Helen had picked, I encountered heavy traffic. The cars moved sluggishly, causing me to feel restless and anxious. I kept checking the time on my dashboard, hoping I wouldn't be too late. Finally, I reached the beach, and as expected, Helen was already there. She had parked her car and was waiting with a big bag by her side. As I parked my car beside hers, I noticed that the beach was empty, with no one around except for us. It was just afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow on everything around us. I got out of my car and went over to Helen, feeling curious and a little apprehensive. "Hey Helen," I said, "where are the company documents?" Helen looked at me with a strange expression on her face, and then suddenly went down on her knees. "Elysia," she said, "I can never hand over those documents to you." "What?" I said, feeling stunned. "What are you talking about?" Helen opened her bag, and my eyes
Elysia's pov We were so excited but then, we excitement quickly fades as I realizes that they will need to open the safe. I takes a deep breath and looks at Macy with a worried expression. "I don't know how to open it. Maybe my fingerprint will work?" I suggests, beginning to stamp my fingers all over the safe. Macy shakes her head, "I don't think so, it's probably not set up to recognize anyone's fingerprints but the owner's." My heart sinks as I realizes Macy's words are true. I give up, tears forming in my eyes as I contemplates the idea of forcing a memory I might not even remember. Macy notices my distress and quickly thinks of a solution. "Instead of that, let's try all birthdays. We'll start with your parents and sister, then move on to Kate's brother, Adam, Damon, and Ian." I nods and they begin trying all possible dates, but the safe remains locked. Frustration builds up as they try over and over again. My anxiety worsens with each unsuccessful attempt. Just when we wer
Elysia's Pov "I don't know what you're talking about, Damon," I say, my voice shaking with fear. "Please, you have to believe me." Damon looks intrigued by my denial, and for a moment, I think he might let me go. But then he shakes his head and releases his grip on my arm. "Fine," he says, his voice cold and distant. "Go." I rub my wrist slightly, trying to ease the pain where his fingers had dug in, before turning and walking slowly out of the room. Once I'm outside, I break into a run, my heart pounding in my chest as I race towards my car. I can feel the fear gripping me as I drive out of the villa and onto the street. My hands are shaking on the steering wheel, and I find it hard to catch my breath. As I drive across the bridge, my mind is a blur of emotions - fear, anger, and confusion all mingling together. And then, suddenly, I can't take it anymore. I pull over to the side of the road and jump out of my car, gasping for breath. I stand there on the bridge, the wind whipp
Elysia Pov I felt a lump in my throat, as though I had always suspected that Helen had a wild side, but I didn't want to believe that she would sleep around with anyone. "Do you have any proof?" I asked hesitantly. Macy then said, "Actually, Elysia, you secured pictures of Helen with some guys a while ago. Don't you remember?" I shook my head, feeling a wave of confusion wash over me. "I don't remember that, Macy. You know I lost my memories." Macy sighed and said, "That's right, I forgot. Look, Elysia, let's go to the office tomorrow, and I'll help you go through all the files and paperwork. We'll see if we can find any evidence of what Helen is up to." I nodded slowly, feeling grateful for Macy's help. "Thank you, Macy. I don't know what I would do without you." Macy laughs, "You don't have to thank me, Elysia. We're friends, and I'll always be here for you, no matter what." "Macy, I talked to Helen earlier, and I threatened her. I told her I wanted the company, but she said s
