Chapter 21: The TruthAlena FleurI blanked out for a long moment before I realized I had to say something.But my voice wouldn't come out like there was a big lump stuck in my throat, and my eyes were stinging like if I looked at Elian once more I would cry.Speak, Alena! Or move! Do something, at least! Don’t be pathetic!I force myself up from the chair and turn around, managed to say, "Yes, um, I, uh, I get it. I'm sorry.""Alena," Elian murmured, his voice giving away that he had something more to say. But I didn’t want to listen right and made my way straight for the main door.I wasn’t in the best mood to stay in a room that used to belong to the person who just rejected me or stay under the same roof as him at the moment. I decided to let my feet guide me somewhere far away from him.Once I stepped outside the apartment complex, my tears started falling freely.I knew that Elian had every right to reject me, especially when he didn't return my feelings, but it still hurt. And
Chapter 22: Being ChasedAlena FleurI was being dragged through the parking lot of the apartment complex by three men.I had opened the door after texting Elian that I was in trouble and tried to stall as much as time I could without those men blowing off the innocent delivery girl's head. They let go after I came out.Now, they were taking me to their van.I had tucked in the gun that Elian left for me just in case. If worse came to worst, I had to shoot. Though I really hoped I didn't have to.I needed to stall for more time for any help to get here."Hey, mister, why are you trying to kidnap me?" I questioned.
Chapter 23: Move OnAlena Fleur"I'm sorry, Alena. I can't," Elian replied.I gritted my teeth and spat out, "I can't believe you're rejecting me again, even after knowing that I'm now aware of our past!""I'm sorry, but I can't afford to bring you back into this life and hurt you again. Last time, they were going to kill you. The accident kind of saved you, to be honest. Otherwise, who knows what they were going to do to you? And this time, I didn't mean for you to get involved. I thought this was a company problem, but—"He stopped talking when he noticed that our backup had arrived. A few sedans came and tackled our chasers."You can park somewhere now, and I can take over the driving," Elian
Chapter 24: ChallengeAlena FleurI was hugging the orange teddy bear, which Elian had in his room, while sitting against the headboard when Elian entered the room."Why are you in my room and why are you still up?" he asked and went towards his dressing table to take off his wristwatch and cufflinks."I was waiting for you," I mumbled.I was scared that he would get hurt while finishing off the Blacklist gang, but he seemed fine, which was a huge relief."Is the Blacklist gang over now?" I asked, and he nodded. "You aren't lying to me again like last time, are you?""Nope. Xavier is now our captive. Ash will hand him to the police tomorrow after torturing
Chapter 25: CongratulationsAlena Fleur"When can we start working again?" I asked Elian when we were eating our brunch on the patio of his estate."We will get the clearance today, so from tomorrow, but it's Friday. I don't want the opening day to be the last day of the week—""So, Monday. Great," I said happily. "I can spend the next three days, warming up your heart."Elian glared at me and said, "You can forget about that because you are going back to your apartment after this meal."I gasped dramatically. "How can you kick me out after sleeping with me last night?"He flashed me a tight-lipped smile and said, "We just slept on the same bed,
Chapter 26: Mission JealousyAlena FleurOn Monday morning, I entered the office with a confident smile.I didn't avoid the private elevator like the plague I had been for a week before the office closed down. I was pleasantly surprised to see Elian and the CFO of our company, Kevin Williams."Good morning, Mr. Storm," I greeted professionally, then gave Kevin a less formal smile and said, "Hello, Kevin."Elian arched an eyebrow at the use of the first name. He knew I didn't call anyone by their first name, except Anya. But it was part of Lance and my plan.When I talked to Lance on Thursday night, he gave this brilliant idea that I just had to flirt with someone else to make Elian realize what h
Chapter 27: TherapyAlena Fleur"Elian, you don't think I sold out our company, do you?" I let out, my voice rising at the accusation."No, of course not. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying your laptop is the only one that wasn't checked—" Elian tried to reason."You're indirectly saying that I copied the data from my laptop—""Will you just listen to me? The data might have been copied from your laptop, but it wasn't you, I'm sure of that."I calmed down a little after he said that. "So you mean to say, someone else copied from my laptop and sold it out?""We can only be sure if you let Jace check your laptop," Elian replied.
Chapter 28: New PlanAlena FleurIt was torture to seat through the whole therapy session as the words "someone who loves her" kept ringing in my head.Although the result of the therapy was pleasant. Just through our first session, I had regained the memories of the start of my second year when I met Elian.In our university's backyard garden, I had been twirling in the first snowfall of the year giddily when I heard someone cursing the snow in disgust—and that was how it all started.When the session was over, there was an excited skip to my steps.Kevin was obviously gone, given that Elian was here now."Alena," Elian called out when we were outsid
