Elena shifted uncomfortably on the Chair, avoiding Scarlett's gaze. "I know it's a risk," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. "But my new company and my Future need this, Scarlett. I have to do what's best for them."Scarlett could hear the desperation in her friend's voice, and she knew that there was no way she would be able to convince her to reconsider. "I understand that," she said softly, reaching out to take Elena's hand. "And I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll be here for you. I'll support you with every power in me."Elena finally looked up at Scarlett, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Scarlett. That means more to me than you could ever know."Scarlett smiled, squeezing her friend's hand. "That's what friends are for," she said, her heart heavy with the weight of the situation. She knew that things were about to get complicated, but she was determined to be there for Elena every step of the way.Scarlett leaned forward, her express
As Scarlett read, Elena's eyes widened and her fear deepened. The words in the letter were chilling and she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Scarlett read:Elena, Elena, Elena. I never knew you were a cheap slut. What a horrible talent you possess, shamelessly flirting with the CEO of Hamilton Tech, Such a Gold digger. You are nothing but a low-life garbage and should remain in the gutter where you belong.Stay the fucking hell away from Liam or you will have yourself to blame for it.It's my pleasure to destroy you. You don't need to Thank me Cheap Slut".Scarlett's voice trembled as she read the cruel and disturbing words scrawled on the paper. The letter was filled with venomous insults and threats directed at Elena, accusing her of being a cheap slut and a gold digger who belonged in the gutter. The mention of Liam, the CEO of Hamilton Tech, only added to the confusion and fear that Elena felt. As Scarlett finished, Elena slumped back in her chair, her mind racing with ques
Scarlett smiled knowingly. "That’s one caring and protective soon-to-be husband you have there. He is far away and yet I can feel his presence all over you. Do you see what I was talking about previously, Elena? You both are meant for each other and Liam is a keeper. You need to keep this guy at all costs."Elena half-smiled, feeling a sense of comfort in Scarlett's words. Liam was the only one who had ever made her feel truly safe and protected. She rarely brought friends home except for Scarlett and a few close colleagues at Nixon Tech who knew her pretty well. "Whoever wrote that letter seems to know me very well," Elena said, her thoughts drifting back to the threatening message. "From the way it was written and the poor background thing, I don't think an investigation can get someone that information about a person's background so quickly."Scarlett nodded, her expression serious. "You're right. This means that whoever wrote that letter must have some personal connection to you.

She knew that the next few hours would be critical for her future. "Thank you for driving me, Steven," she said, settling into the plush leather seat."No problem, Miss Elena," Steven replied, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "I'll get you there safely."As they neared Scarlett's house, Elena felt a pang of sadness at the thought of leaving her best friend behind. Scarlett had been her rock through thick and thin, and Elena knew she would need her support more than ever."Thanks for every
But Isabella had ignored her mother's advice and acted on her own. Now, the consequences of her rash actions had come to light, and she had no one to blame but herself. As she lay on her bed, lost in her thoughts, Isabella couldn't help but wonder how she could have been so foolish. She knew she had to find a way to make things right, but she had no idea where to start.As Isabella sat on her bed, clutching the slip of paper with the address the spy had given her. She was seething with anger and frustration, knowing that her ill-conceived plan had only strengthened Elena's position.The words of the spy echoed in her mind, taunting her with the knowledge that her plan had only served to strengthen Elena's position.She immediately recalls her discussion with Her spy."How could you let her slip away like that?"

Liam cautiously approached Elena, noticing she was lying still and calm. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if she was asleep, and imagined kissing her soft lips to awaken her.As he drew closer, Elena's senses sharpened, and she detected the scent of Liam's perfume. She sat up quickly, grabbing the robe beside her to cover herself.Liam couldn't help but smirk as he greeted her. "Hello, my gorgeous bride-to-be," he said, leaning in to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead."Are you having a good time? Have you eaten anything for lunch?" Liam asked, gazing into her eyes before settling down on the Sunbed beside her.Elena blushed slightly at the kiss and replied, "I'm doing great, thank you. I haven't eaten anything yet, but I'm not hungry at the moment.""Maybe we can grab something to eat later," she suggested, smiling coyly at Liam."Sounds like a plan," Liam replied, grinning back at her. "I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself." He couldn't help but admire her beauty as she sat
Elena felt a wave of relief wash over her at his words. Elena stood at the edge of the pool, gazing into the crystal-clear water. The vibrant hues of the setting sun cast a bewitching light on her silhouette, making her look nothing short of a goddess. Liam couldn't help but admire her from behind, his eyes tracing the curves of her body. As he lay there, he felt a surge of desire coursing through his veins, his primal needs threatening to take over.The previous night had been a blur of stress and work after the deals with the Foreigners, Liam had sought solace in the arms of a woman he barely knew at the hotel bar as he took her to his hotel room. Yet, despite the fleeting pleasure, his heart had remained restless, haunted by thoughts of Elena. It was as if he was betraying her with every breath he took.But now, as he watched Elena standing there, lost in her thoughts, Liam knew that he couldn't resist the pull any longer. The sleeping beast within him had awoken, and it was hungry
Elena, on the other hand, was lost in her own thoughts. She couldn't shake off the feeling of Liam's lips on hers, and the way his touch had ignited a fire inside her. She knew she had to be careful around him, but it was getting harder and harder to resist his charms. As she climbed the stairs to her room, she made a mental note to keep her guard up around Liam.Liam couldn't help but watch Elena's every move as they entered the dining room of the mansion. He was amused by how quickly she had hurried off to her room, and the way she seemed to be avoiding his gaze. "She's definitely a shy one," he mused to himself, a small smile playing on his lips.As he took his seat at the dining table, Liam couldn't help but reflect on the evening so far. He had been drawn to Elena from the moment he had laid eyes on her, and the way she had responded to his kiss had only heightened his desire for her. He knew he had to tread carefully, though. Elena was clearly a guarded person, and he didn't wan
