"I mean, I was able to make my grandfather happy again, thanks to you."A chuckle escaped my lips as I looked up at him, finding that he was also staring at me. "Owen almost ruined everything, by the way," I reminded him, and he sighed."As if I knew that was going to happen," he responded. "I already had everything planned out.""That’s so cool!" I said, genuinely excited. I was amazed by how quickly he had regained control of the situation. I had known it, even though he hadn’t told me directly. His quick thinking made me grow fond of him. I knew I shouldn’t be feeling that way, especially since I didn’t know him or his intentions towards me, but he had shown that I could trust him, even if it was just a little."Thank you for acting perfectly today in front of my grandfather," he said again, even though he had mention
~Owen~ I knew all hell would break loose once my father returned from the royal mansion. I hadn’t expected Christian to have me followed and discover the girls I’d been secretly seeing behind Elena’s back. The plan was to go there and ruin Elena's dinner, but it backfired, and now I was in serious trouble with my father. I knew exactly what my father would do—especially since it involved his favorite child: my older brother, the only one he truly cared about. Before he came back, my mother was already nagging me about what I’d done, warning me of the consequences and how I could avoid my father’s wrath that night. “Just make sure you go straight to your room and don’t say anything unless I ask you to. You know how he usually is when angry, so please, don’t make him even more annoyed,” she advised. Not wanting to make things worse, I followed her advice, heading to my room and sitting on my bed. But I couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen when my father returned. Curious,
~Christian~The table grew silent, and the only noise was the clicking of our spoons on our plates. Dinner went on for almost an hour, with anyone barely eating anything on their plates except my grandfather. It was torture having people who were my enemies with me on the table pretending to be good, and finally, after almost an hour, my father spoke up again. ‘’Now,’’ he settled his glass on the table and wiped his mouth clean before speaking again. ‘’ The main reason for the dinner is to discuss the inheritance,’’ he announced. Elena suddenly stood up, but I grabbed her hand. ‘’where are you going?’’ I whispered to her. ‘’I…’’ she tried to speak as all eyes on the table turned towards her. ‘’I am not sure if I am supposed to be a part of this meeting.’’ My grandfather laughed and pointed to her chair so she could sit. ‘’Don’t worry about that because you are getting married to Christian. He will need your support as your husband.’’ Husband? I still haven’t gotten used to hearin
~Christian~I watched as Landon walked in with his father, his smug expression a familiar sight I had seen before. It had been years since we last saw each other, and I'd expected time to have changed him. But at one glance, he was still the same. He was still the same cocky boy I met when my parents died. His eyes locked onto mine, and that same condescending smirk spread across his face. My fists clenched instinctively, a surge of anger coursing through me, and I had the urge to punch him in the face.Landon's presence was a harsh reminder of our family's complicated dynamics. We shared a mother, but that's where our connection ended. He was the illegitimate son, born to a thug father. On the other hand, I was the rightful heir to the royal family. Landon always reminded me how he'd steal everything from me when we were younger. Seeing him again brought back memories I'd rather forget. His father's presence made matters worse.The little I knew about Landon's father was that he was
~Elena~My heart pounded hard in my chest as I drove into the driveway of the royal Mansion. Just like my grandfather’s Mansion, it exuded an aura of wealth and legacy yet rivaled it in building, making it seem like a common home in comparison. The beauty of the Mansion was breathtaking as I reached the front door, where Christian was waiting for me, dressed in a tailored blue suit that accentuated his chiseled features. A dazzling smile spread across his face as our eyes met, and I felt excitement. This was all fake, I reminded myself, but my heart pounded harder as he approached, still smiling. I forgot how to breathe for a second as he reached my side and stretched forth his hand for me to take. ‘’Welcome, Elena,’’ he said, his voice low and smooth. ‘’You look beautiful.’’ My face suddenly turned red, and I tried hard to avoid looking at him as each glance made my heart race faster. ‘’And you look dashing in your…’’I trailed off, unsure how to finish, but he understood and chuck
~Elena~My hands grew colder as the car drove into my grandfather’s estate. Throughout the ride, I tried so hard not to be obvious about being around him, and each time he tried to speak to me, I responded with quick words that wouldn’t drag the discussion any further. I was not supposed to be helpless in front of a man who could be like everyone else, and even though he gave a good impression at my funeral, I still didn’t trust him yet because I had no idea what he was capable of doing. "We have arrived, sir." The driver’s announcement and Christian’s hand on my shoulder jolted me out of my thoughts. ‘’I uhm…’’ I cleared my throat as I faced him. ‘’Thank you so much for today,’’ I told him. Just then, the door opened, and I gave him a little wave before stepping out of the car. I didn’t know what to say to him, and I felt like a fool seeing how he watched me walk out of the car without responding, but to my surprise, he walked out right after me and stood behind me. ‘’I have to wa
~Christian~I couldn’t stop staring away from Elena as she savored each bite on her plate. Her elegance and poise captivated me, and I found myself entranced. When I finished my meal, I wiped my mouth clean with a napkin, casually dropped the handkerchief on the table, and relaxed on the chair. I watched as Elena slowly raised her head but avoided my eyes. She wrapped her slender fingers around the wine glass, and then her eyes locked onto mine as she took a sip. ‘’so,’’ I started a conversation since we were both done eating. ‘’Elena, would you like to be my date for my family dinner?’’ I went straight to the point since we both knew what we wanted, and if we continued denying it, it would only mean we were lying to ourselves. Her eyes widened in shock, and she choked on the wine. ‘’Are you alright?’’ I asked, leaning forward to check her.She coughed, her face red, and then she picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth clean. ‘’your family dinner?’’ I nodded. ‘’yes, this weekend.
~Elena~I could feel my heartbeat increase as I drove into the Royal Cuisine car park. I had not expected that he would reply to my message so quickly, making everything easier because I wouldn’t have to worry about explaining what I wanted from him. My eyes roamed when I exited my car, and I heard cameras clicking. But I couldn’t see anyone anywhere. My instinct told me that the paparazzi were around somewhere, and I figured they might have gotten a hint from when we both followed each other yesterday on Instagram. Since they were stalking me, they followed me to the restaurant. Again, it was making my work easier. As I opened the grand doors of the restaurant, I was immediately struck by the luxury surrounding me. The restaurant was breathtaking and lived up to its name as the biggest restaurant in the city. It was a masterpiece of luxury with sleek marble floors, rich wood paneling, and lavish furnishings. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet inviting. A maître d approached me,
~Christian~“He has been calling you non-stop,” my secretary said as she handed over my phone. I swiped through the screen, staring at the multiple calls from my grandfather. I knew he’d been expecting me to visit since I had promised to come to the mansion as soon as I returned, but I hadn’t gotten the time yet. I first visited my parents' grave, stopped by my penthouse, and then went on a date with someone I didn’t even like. But it turned out to be enjoyable—because she was there.As I stepped out of the car onto the winding driveway, I was immediately greeted by the familiar, breathtaking view of my grandfather’s estate. The majestic mansion rose before me, its elegance and grandeur still awe-inspiring. I had visited countless times, yet the beauty never failed to leave me breathless.I approached the entrance, stopping momentarily as the soft gurgling of water caught my attention. The fountain stood proudly at the front, depicting a giant lion with water dancing from its mouth. “G
~Elena~"You have glioblastoma, Elena, it's stage four." The announcement came as a shock because I should have known if something was wrong with me, but I didn't My eyes widened in disbelief as I locked gazes with the Doctor before me, questioning whether her words or she was lying. I had no idea what to believe. ‘’I… I have a brain..." I stuttered as I felt the tears welling up in my eyes. "how could I have not noticed all these years and you…" The tears streamed down my face. ''I mean i am supposed to know about it but why?'' The Doctor sighed and pointed to the screen, which showed a scan of my head. "If I had not told you to carry that test, Elena, we wouldn't have found out. The tumor hid itself perfectly without showing signs, and if I had not..." "Doctor Mallory," I cut her off before she could finish. "I don't understand what you are saying. Do you mean that I have cancer and I didn't know all these while and…." I rubbed my eyes and sighed heavily. "yes, Elena," she repli...
