Elena had been anticipating a summons to Mr. Ford's office, and as she wrapped up her work for the day, her fear of the unknown grew. Elena had noticed a change in her colleague Gianna's behavior after she arrived late to work that morning. Gianna had become overly friendly, constantly requesting files and information that only Elena possessed. Despite Elena's suspicion, Gianna avoided addressing the previous day's incident and instead focused solely on work. Elena's anxiety peaked as she waited for Mr. Ford to call her into his office to discuss the potential consequences of the two hundred million dollar lawsuit against the company, unsure of where she stood in the matter.As Elena made her way to Mr. Ford's office, her mind raced with anxiety. Earlier during her lunch break, she had confided in Scarlett about her conversation with Liam and how she wished she had agreed with his initial suggestion. Scarlett had been thrilled for her, but now Elena was unsure of what awaited her in M
Mr. Ford looked surprised at Elena's sudden change of heart. "Are you sure about this, Elena? You don't have to do this now tomorrow will be better."Elena stood up, her eyes blazing with fury. "I'm sure," she said, her voice steady. "But mark my words, Mr. Ford. You will witness my fame. And Karma will pay you a visit for what you have done to me and Scarlett."With that, Elena stormed out of the office, her head held high as she slammed the door behind her. She didn't know what the future held for her, but she knew that she wouldn't let this setback defeat her. Elena stormed into her departmental office, her anger boiling within her. The sight of her colleagues' moody faces did nothing to calm her down. As she walked towards her desk, Scarlett approached her with a termination of appointment letter. "Elena, I am so sorry I got you into this mess," Scarlett said, her voice choking with emotion. Elena could see the tears in Scarlett's eyes, and her heart sank. Elena comforted Scar
Elena looked stunning in her sleeveless black dress, which hugged her curves in all the right places. She paired it with black high-heeled T-strap sandals, which elongated her legs. Her hair was styled in a sleek ponytail, with loose curls cascading down her shoulder. The overall effect was seductive and alluring, and more than a few heads turned as she walked by.Scarlett turned and grinned at Elena's side, as she spoke in Elena's ear "You look amazing, girl several onlookers."Elena blushed, and also spoke in Scarlett's ear "Thanks. You look pretty good yourself Scarlett."They made their way over to where Grace was with the other girls, Elena and Scarlett made their way over to where Grace was standing with the other girls.

"Yeah, it's so good to see everyone again!"They both then turned to Grace and each gave her a peck o
Elena was taken aback when she saw Liam standing before her. She had no idea he would come to the club, as he had only asked for her location before hanging up. "Uh, we need to talk? Right now?" Elena pouted the seductive tone in her voice not going unnoticed by Liam. She attempted to stand up, but the alcohol in her system had taken its toll, causing her to lose her balance. Liam quickly sprang into action, catching her before she fell and holding her firmly in his arms. His desire for her tripled at the close proximity, but he couldn't ignore the worry he felt for her vulnerable state."Elena, are you okay? You're not in a good state," Liam said, concern lacing his voice as he held her steady.Elena was mortified at the situation. She had never been this close to any man aside from her dad and her high school sweetheart, who had parted ways with her long ago because she wasn't ready for a sexual commitment.As Liam held Elena in his arms, she felt safe and secure, despite her intox
Liam stepped forward to help, gliding his body against hers, causing Elena to jerk away. "What the hell!" she cursed again, her heart still racing from Liam's unexpected and unwelcome kiss.Without even thanking him, she slammed the door in Liam's face, leaving him standing outside. He couldn't help but be amused by her behavior, knowing she had stirred undying emotions within him.As he lingered at her door, Liam's thoughts were consumed with Elena. He couldn't shake the desire that had been unleashed between them, and he knew he had to find a way to make things right.Meanwhile, inside the safety of her house, Elena leaned against her door, her heart still pounding with adrenaline. Her legs shook, and her thoughts were a wild jumble of emotions. "Did Liam just kiss me, or is my drunken mind imagining things?" she thought out loud, her confusion and desire warring within her. She knew she needed time to sort out her feelings before she could face Liam again.****Isabella was overjoy
Elena's heart raced as she read Liam's messages, her eyes scanning each word with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. The first message caught her off guard, an apology for their unexpected kiss. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her stomach as memories of the heated moment flooded her mind. But before she could dwell on it, her attention was drawn to the second message. Liam's driver would be picking her up in just a few short hours, at 10:00 AM. As Elena read through Liam's messages, her heart skipped a beat at the mention of the driver coming to pick her up. Glancing at the time, she realized she had only thirty minutes left to prepare. Hastily, she rushed to her closet and pulled out a form-fitting dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The dress was a beautiful shade of burgundy, made from a soft, silky material that flowed gracefully as she moved. She paired it with a pair of black pumps that added an extra touch of elegance to her outfit. she slipped h
The limousine pulled up in front of Liam's mansion, and Elena's eyes widened in awe at the sight before her.

"It's beautiful," she breathed.Steven smiled at her admiration. "Yes, it is quite remarkable, isn't it? Mr. Liam is waiting for you inside, miss," he said, gesturing towards the entrance where a staff member was waiting to greet her.Elena stepped out of the car and thanked Steven for dropping off Scarlett earlier. As she made her way towards the entrance, she couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement mixed with nervousness. Steven looked at Elena as he admired her beauty and politeness. Throughout his many years working for Liam Hamilton, Steven had encountered various wo

Tears streamed down Elena's cheeks, her resolve unyielding. "No, Liam. It's over. I can't subject myself to this pain any longer. And there's something else you need to know..."Liam's eyes widened, his voice filled with a mixture of shock and realization. "What is it, Elena?"Her voice quivered, her resolve unflinching.

But I won't subject our child to a relationship built on lies and betrayal."Liam's face paled, a mix of emotions passing over his features. "Elena... I... I didn't know."She nodded, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and determination. "Now you do. I will raise this child on my own, surrounded by love and honesty.

The impact of her statement hit Liam like a tidal wave, fueling the flames of his anger. His face reddened, his jaw clenched, and his fists tightened as if trying to contain the brewing storm within him. The room seemed to grow smaller, suffocating under the weight of their heated exchange.Struggling to regain control over his mounting anger, Liam made a conscious effort to calm himself. He didn't want to hurt Elena, despite the storm of emotions raging within him. Taking a deep breath, he attempted to broach the topic of abortion with her, hoping for a rational discussion."Elena, maybe we should consider having an abortion," Liam suggested, his voice tinged with a mixture of desperation and concern.Elena's response was swift and resolute, her eyes filled with unwavering determination. "That will never happen, Liam. I could never bring myself to kill our child. Not in this lifetime."Liam's heart sank as her words echoed in his ears. The weight of the situation bore down heavily up
Elena mustered a weak smile, appreciating Liam's concern even as her stomach continued to churn. "Thank you, Liam. Your concern means the world to me. But really, it's just a passing moment. I'll be alright soon."Her words barely had time to escape her lips before another wave of nausea overwhelmed her, and Elena found herself hunched over the toilet once again. The sound of her retching filled the air, and Liam couldn't bear to witness her suffering any longer. Frustration etched on his face, he swiftly pulled out his phone and began dialing Doctor Clara's hospital number.Elena, sensing his intentions, struggled to stand up from the cold bathroom floor fearing one of the nurses could answer and send Liam her hospital record. She reached out and grabbed Liam's arm, her voice trembling with desperation. "Liam, please... I don't want to bother Doctor Clara. It's just a stomach bug, it'll pass. I promise."Liam looked into Elena's pleading eyes, torn between his concern for her well-be

"it surprised me too," she sighed, her voice heavy with sorrow.Emma leaned forward, her eyes searching Elena's face for answers. And then, realization dawned on her, widening her eyes in disbelief. "Is it the condition about not having kids? Because that's where this whole discussion started from, I'm I right?"Elena's shoulders slumped, a weight settling upon her heart. "Yes," she whispered, her disappointment palpable. Tears welled up in her eyes and trickled down her face, leaving a glistening trail. Emma's voice trembled with confusion and concern.
