ElaineTrevor and I arrived at the underground parking lot of the Marriott Building. The parking lot was dim and echoed with the low hum of engines and the occasional squeak of tires. When Trevor turned off the engine, the car became very quiet. He removed his seatbelt, the soft click echoing in the large space, and turned to face me. He heaved a soft sigh, the sound almost lost in the big parking lot.“I hate to say this, but we don’t have a choice. I need to settle everything first upstairs. I think you already experienced their strict protocols, right?” His voice was steady, but I could sense a hint of frustration.“Uh-huh,” I nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. The thought of entering the building without my name on the list of confirmed appointments was useless. The security here was tight, and I totally understood what Trevor was trying to say.“It will take a little while, but I promise I will be back as soon as I’m done,” Trevor said, his voice tinged with
ElaineMy wonderful day was instantly turned into an awful one just by hearing these absurd things from Tristan. Maybe Tristan had gone totally insane, saying things like this in front of me. My heart pounded in my chest, and my face flushed with anger. I clenched my fists, feeling my nails dig into my palms before I raised my trembling hand. With a fierce glare, I pointed my fingers at him, my voice trembling with a mix of fury and disbelief. "Wife? How can you say that? Have you lost your mind?!" The words I threw at him were sharp, laden with the truth he needed to understand.Tristan approached me right away, closing the distance between us. He answered with an enthusiasm that caught me off guard.“YES! We’re still married. I’m still your husband.”I scoffed, crossing my arms and looking him up and down. “What are you saying? We’re done, Tristan.”Hearing this, Tristan seemed unexpectedly hurt. I couldn’t find the proper reason behind his unusual behavior, but one thing was for
ElaineI leaned in closer to Tristan, my eyes locked onto his, unflinching. I bore into his soul, the intensity of my gaze daring him to finally confront the truth. My heart pounded with a mix of frustration and determination, my clenched fists trembling at my sides, hoping against hope that this time he would find the courage to accept reality."You were never a husband to me, Tristan. Everyone knows that. Don’t even try to create fake scenarios in your head about being a good spouse because you are not. You loathed me, remember? Many times, you chose to neglect me and be with your mistress instead. You've pushed me over the edge. I won’t let you push me further toward my demise. I am done being your doormat. I want nothing more to do with you."After that, I walked away from Tristan, moving quickly to put as much space between us as possible. Each step was a deliberate attempt to escape, feeling a mixture of relief and lingering tension in my mind. Suddenly, I heard a voice from beh
Elaine"So, it’s true. You lost your memories after the incident.” Tristan’s sudden statement caught me off guard. His voice was low, his gaze intense, waiting for my confirmation.“What are you trying to say now?” I asked, trying to steady my voice.Tristan turned away briefly, then faced me again, holding his face in his hands. “You know what I’m saying. Your memories… they were long gone.”His words hung heavy in the air, leaving me speechless. Tristan stared at me, waiting for a response that I couldn’t find. His behavior had become increasingly erratic. Initially, he was romantic and devoted, but now he seemed frustrated, desperate for answers.“I’m done talking to you,” I finally managed to say softly.Tristan lowered his head, then glanced at me with a fleeting smirk. “Truth finally found its way to me.”His words chilled me, leaving me wondering what had happened to the man I thought I knew so well.“What the hell do you even mean!” I furrowed my eyebrows and shouted at Trist
ElaineFear gripped me, paralyzing me where I stood. I tried to move, but my feet felt glued to the floor, my knees trembling. Tristan was getting closer, and I couldn’t think of anything to do except close my eyes and brace for the worst.Oh, shoot. He looks angry now.I admit, seeing Tristan angry and ferocious filled me with fear. I mean, come on! What could a she-wolf like me have against a formidable alpha like him? Tristan may have been a jerk and stupid in his thinking, but in battle, he was an alpha for a reason.Suddenly, another voice broke through the tension.“Hey! Leave Elaine alone!”Trevor rushed to my side, confronting Tristan. Tristan glared at Trevor, his breath shallow.“What the hell are you doing? This is between me and my wife. Stay out of this.”But Trevor refused to move and instinctively positioned himself between me and Tristan. Tristan showed his teeth and mocked,“You think you’re strong enough to stand your ground?”“If I were you, I wouldn’t do anything f
Elaine“Ready?”I nodded at Trevor's question, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety bubbling inside me. Trevor nodded back, and we both stepped into the elevator. As he pressed the button for the 12th floor, my heart raced. This was my big chance, and I couldn't mess it up.I glanced at the mirror inside the elevator, my mind swirling with curiosity and anticipation. What kind of wolf was the CEO? Was he fierce and commanding, or perhaps more cunning and strategic? I couldn't help but imagine the stories that must surround such a powerful figure. As the elevator ascended, my excitement grew, and my thoughts raced even faster. When we finally reached our floor, I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves before stepping out.The 12th floor was surprisingly plain. It was just a typical office with white walls and a normal ceiling. Nothing was special or extravagant. As we walked down the hallway, I noticed a huge company logo on the left side. Finally, something unique. The log
ElaineI was caught off guard, shocked by his statement. Fear of failing to grasp success washed over me. But with the remaining determination and courage, I cleared my throat once again and continued in a louder voice."I am here as a representative of Roma Aesthetics to discuss a potential collaboration with Everett Innovations on our new marketing campaign. We believe that partnering with your esteemed company would greatly enhance the impact and reach of our initiative, and it would be an honor to have your expertise and innovation driving this project forward.""Ahh," Mr. Everett responded with a single word. Then he turned his attention toward the pile of papers in front of him. As I went on with my short report, he only gave me a few nods and an uninterested look. I still continued up to the last moment, despite the growing lump in my throat and the sting of tears welling up in my eyes."Thank you for your time, Mr. Everett," I said, my voice trembling. I felt hopeless, thinkin
ElaineInside the expensive limousine, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Trevor was beside me, and we were both clearly in awe of the luxurious vehicle we were in. It was unlike anything we'd ever seen, and to be honest, it was a bit overwhelming for me too.Since we boarded the car, which was exclusively owned by the chairman, no one had dared to speak a single word. The silence was almost suffocating as I sat there with Mr. Everett and Trevor.Trevor looked puzzled, clearly trying to piece together how we ended up in this situation. Half an hour into the ride, his curiosity got the better of him. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "I’ll give you a minute to explain what’s happening right now."I met his gaze, scratched my head, and leaned closer to him. "It would be wise to explain things later," I replied softly.The silence resumed, heavier than before, until Mr. Everett took a deep breath. Out of nowhere, he began to speak, breaking the quiet with a story."I h
