For a man whom she has spent 7 years with, married for 3, infertility was enough for him to cast her aside, replacing her with his mistress whom was already pregnant. But maybe getting cast aside was a blessing in disguise, Elisa returns home to regain her rightful place as the heiress of the Gilbert's house, and what follows after is the continuous regret of her Ex-husband. After all, the saying goes this way: You don't know the value of what you have until you lose it.
View MoreDAMONI smiled when I got into the house and saw Elisa sleeping on the couch soundly, she must have been waiting for me.Tip toeing, I walked over to her side and tried to pick her up being as gentle as I could.It's really refreshing to come back from a long day of work to see her cute puffy face.Her body shifted in my hold making me gulp nervously, I stared at her lips struggling with every cell in my body not to steal a kiss from her.No, doing it without consent especially when she has not accepted me was bad.I should try and control myself better, what am I even thinking of?She already told me to hang in there so I should try and control myself.I felt Eli struggle against me bringing my attention to her."Did I wake you up?" I asked in a low tone, scolding myself Inwardly, I should be more careful next time."You came very late today." She pointed out, I bit my inner lip trying to control myself from smiling.She was worried about me."I know, I'm sorry, I had to take care of
ELISA "Are you okay?" Damon's face appeared in front of me disrupting my thoughts."Oh I'm fine." I answered but he just pursed his lips placing the food tray he brought on the bed."You are breaking out in cold sweat, do you feel uneasy?" He questioned placing his palm on my forehead."No, no, I'm good I swear it. Thanks for the food." I gestured to the breakfast on the bed trying to change the topic."It's no issue, you should eat then go wash up, I'll go do the same." I nodded at his words and watched as he left sighing.That was a close one, I didn't want him to see me as weird if I divulged my dream to him.I pushed all those thoughts aside and munched on the toast he brought, pushing it down with the hot chocolate.I've got to say, Damon Thorne has quite a talent for cooking, compared to me.When I was done, I head to the bathroom and took a shower.I should call that doctor later on to confirm Derrick's death, my instincts were telling me something was wrong.By the time I was
ELISAI could feel Damon's piercing gaze but I couldn't lift my head to look at him.I probably seem quite pathetic, few months back I told him there is no hope between us and here I am asking him to wait."You know what, forget it." I said, letting his sleeves go, but before my hands dropped, Damon pulled me into his embrace, hugging me tight."I would wait as long as you want me to Eli." He coaxed in a soft voice.I was stunned, the urge to cry overwhelming me, I'm pretty sure my eyes were glossy with tears at this point.Sniffling, I raised my hands slowly hugging him back, my actions causing him to hold me even tighter."Why were you acting that way in the car? I thought you were fed up with waiting for me or something." I voiced out my concerns.One thing I've learned from therapy was that I have to communicate my concerns no matter how odd they were.That way, instead of just guessing their reaction in my head I would be able to deduce their real reaction."Oh no." Damon hurried
ELISAAfter my marriage with Damon, dad kept his promise and stepped down from his position, leaving me to take over as CEO.I wanted to use my "busy nature," as an opportunity to avoid Damon but after that night he offered to drive me to work and back.Ever since then it became a routine, and anytime he came to pick me up he brought a bouquet of roses along.It felt nice being cared for like this, during my relationship with Derrick I had been the one putting all the effort and any small actions he made seemed like a big deal to me.Maybe that's why this felt different.Seeing the familiar black rolls royce parked Infront of the office building made my heart swell with joy."Hey." He greeted me as usual handing me the flowers."Thank you." I took it from his hands my face heating up in the process, as I sniffed the roses to inhale their scents.It's been three months since I broke down completely in front of this man yet he never brought up the matter.Instead he just stuck to my sid
DAMONI smiled the moment I saw Elisa step out of her office building.She looked radiant and bright as usual.My jewel."Hey." I greeted as usual, handing her the bouquet of roses that I had prepared.I love giving her roses because they remind me of her.A rose flower is very beautiful, and would attract the attention of everyone, but one who does not handle the flower gently would only end up getting injured."Thank you." Elisa replied with a flushed face, smelling the rose fragrance.It's been three months since our wedding, after that night neither of us brought up that conversation anymore.I didn't want to talk about it seeing how much the fact she couldn't have children hurts her."You really don't have to keep doing this." She said as I opened the car door, ushering her in."But I want to." I stated in a dismissive tone.Elisa became the CEO of the Gilbert cooperation as she wished and she has been doing wonderfully well.I wanted her to focus on nothing other than work, so I
RECOMMENDED SONG- CONSTELLATION BY JADE LEMACDAMONElisa's vows passed a message to me resulting to the words I said when I gave her the ring.I wanted her to know that she does not only have a husband by her side, she had a servant, soldier and helper ready to follow her every command.I refused to let her hand go after exchanging the rings, I was afraid everything would end up being a dream.I have been longing for this for a very long time, being able to experience felt so unreal.The church wedding ended after everything and we all headed to the reception center.I held her hand tightly, I know I was being clingy but her vows, the way she looked at me when she said it.It eased my worries, I could feel the truth in them, she just wanted someone to stay loyal to her.I might not be the best in loving someone but if she wants my loyalty- she has it.I do not have such thin resistance as that man Derrick.Recollecting him crashing our wedding earlier I frowned, thank goodness my wif
SONG RECOMMENDED TRAIN WRECK BY JAMES ARTHUR ELISAThe church ceremony ended after the necessities were done and we were heading to the reception currently.Damon had refused to let my hand go after the ring exchange.I glanced at our entwined hands wanting to say something, but when I looked up at him and saw him staring at me with admiration and fulfillment.I couldn't bring myself to say anything."You know I'd have to change before entering the reception?" I asked, clearing my throat while he nodded bring my palm to his lips and placing a light kiss on it."I know, let me enjoy this for now." He replied, using his other hand to hold me as well."You have been holding my hand for a while now." I spoke up after mustering up the courage."I know." He said simple causing me to groan inwardly in frustration.I am pretty sure he was smart enough to get the meaning behind my words yet he just straight up ignored my words.Such an asshole.I huffed, I looked outside the window, deciding
ELISAI had already expected Derrick to pull something as stupid as this.That was why I told Jenna to head to a certain professor, a mad scientist who would do anything for money, paying him the right amount was enough for him to fabricate Derrick's patient records.As for the civil bureau, the man in charge owed a favour so reaching out to him to do something dirty was not difficult.Security was made lax on purpose, so Derrick could enter freely.This was the only way to completely stop Derrick from causing future troubles, too bad I had to sacrifice my peaceful wedding."Sister, did I carry out your job well?" Jenna asked, whispering into my ear, the eagerness to hear a praise was evident."Hm, good job." I smiled, my eyes squinting as a the result. It felt like a huge boulder has been lifted off my chest."Thank you." I turned to Damon and Justin who stood in front of me earlier and they nodded as a response.After that I turned to the congregation giving a deep bow."I'm sorry e
DERRICK I placed all my hopes on the post I made on the internet, I knew after the incident at the engagement party sneaking into the wedding would be much more difficult.Well, that's what I thought until a woman approached me, giving me a way out.She said she could sneak me in and give me a proper invitation as long I don't get recognized.Knowing this might be my last chance, I took it.Her plan worked out perfectly, I was able to sneak into the chapel.The wedding went on smoothly, everything had the touch of grandiose making me a bit jealous.Soon, the bells rang indicating the entrance of the bride.The doors opened up and I turned to see Eli dressed in a pure white, fit and flare wedding gown.A weird feeling engulfed me as I watched her walk up to the alter.Her father said somethings before handing her hand over to Damon.Staring at their back, the ache in my heart worsened.I clenched my chest in confusion, what's this?The small shy look Elisa gave Damon made it worsen, w
Elisa's POV I am getting tired, I don't know how much longer I have to tolerate everything going on in this house, it's honestly starting to piss me off."Are you not going to eat before heading out?" I asked in a low voice staring at my husband, Derrick's back, a hint of anger in my voice."I don't have time to do that, I'm running late." Derrick replied making me cork my head sideways."Are you sure?" I asked once more, then he stood up aggressively making me furrow my brows, what is he on about?"Don't probe too much, you should be in the kitchen instead, you're quite useless compared to other women, you can't even do things right, so don't pester me." He responded with a huff.I raised my eyebrows folding my arms, I might not be that good in the kitchen but whose fault is it?"If I remember correctly you asked me to quit my job and be a stay at home wife, so what's all this ruckus for now?" I fired back, he should have been prepared for this."You this unfilial brat, what do you ...
