Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband MISSING
DAMON POVI stared at Elisa interacting with Amber and that man from a distance, my mind was in a fog."Is the big man jealous?" Justin popped out of nowhere interrupting my thoughts."Don't you have better things to do?" I asked coldly, I was not in the mood to deal with his shenanigans."Well, Jenna was dragged off by her aunt who wanted to show her to some young masters, she bragged Eli currently has a successful marriage due to her matchmaking skills."His tone sounds like he was sulking."That doesn't answer my question." I shrugged, taking a glass of wine from the waiter passing by.After a sip, my tongue touched the roof of my mouth repeatedly, something tasted off with it."Have a sip of this, does it taste normal to you?" I asked Justin basically forcing the drink down his throat.He coughed the moment I released him, shooting a glare at me while I shrugged."So does it taste okay?" I questioned once more tilting my head to observe him."It tastes like any normal wine you psy

ELISA POVMy head was throbbing slightly, as I struggled to open my eyes.What the fuck happened to me?The memories slowly came back as I remembered meeting Reina and then blacking out.Could she have held me hostage or something?Deciding to gauge my situation, I opened of my eyes slightly then I saw a familiar face that scared the crap out of me.Thomas? What was he doing here? Did he see Reina drag me here and then came to help?I should not conclude and watch him silently, I was taken aback when he suddenly jumped on the bed staring at me intently.Did he figure it out?Shit, what could he be up to?"Eli, I know you're awake no need to pretend." He said, brushing the hair on my face away, and gently tucking it behind my ear."Fine." I sat upright looking around the room, it seems like I was in a hotel room."Why are we here?" I decided to ask as I couldn't keep deliberating the answer."Why do you think?" He snorted getting off the bed making me furrow my brows."Thomas." I calle

ELISA"Hello." I called out into the darkness frowning for a bit, I was pretty sure I was on the bed few moments ago."Damon?" I called out once more starting to feel a bit uneasy.The darkness gave me this eerie feeling."Fuck." I cursed underneath my breath rubbing my arms due to the goosebumps I had.A chill ran down my spine as I felt someone breathing down my neck.My back stiffened as I gulped cautiously, fear starting to creep inside me."Who are you?" I asked after gathering some courage.He probably knows what I'm doing here.Or even where here is."He loves you a lot no matter what, how about you? Is it the same for you?" A chilling voice sounded and something in human form but black smoke.Like it literally had smoke trailing behind every step it took, it's eyes were bright Amber colour something that was very rare."I haven't been able to reach you because that brat placed that ring on you." It said, moving round me in circles."What do you mean? What's all this?" I quest

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

ELISA'S POV CONTD "Stand up." Mother in law ordered making me scrunch my nose, this woman is testing my damn nerves."If you want to eat, go get the damn food yourself, don't interrupt my sleep." I hissed in anger shutting my eyes while ignoring her."Is that a way to speak to my mother?" Derrick questioned angrily.Remind me why I chose to fall in love with this loser of all people, probably the charm he had when we were in college, now his annoyance is beginning to surpass that charm."You should be grateful that all I'm doing to her is speaking in that manner." I grumbled, then all of a sudden, someone yanked me from the bed and I fell to the ground, my butt hitting the floor hard."Okay what the heck!" I yelled standing up, my eyes blazing with anger.I could see Derrick recoil back in fear, he knew nothing good would come out of my anger, then why cause it in the first place."Why are you yelling at me? You have bo right in this house, no authority, you are just an infertile wom

"You're here." My dad pointed out coldly."Her husband cheated on her." My mother said instantly making me sigh, couldn't she have waited till the old man was calm."I told you not to marry that man." Father sneered angrily while I shrugged."How do you plan to deal with it? Would you leave him be?" "Of course not." I responded settling down on the chair opposite my father.The Gilbert family, a household name that is not to be trifled with.After all, running a billion dollar company comes with some power.That is the family I came from, and the same one I am set to rule in the nearest future. Ignoring an issue like cheating is something my dad would not let me tolerate but honestly retaliating against that asshole is a waste of energy, for an ego as big as his, living my best life is the best revenge.The main reason why I didn't even tell him about my real identity was because of that ego of his, coming out as The Elisa Gilbert will hurt his pride so much."I'll contact his compa

DAMON'S POV "There's no need to be scared, you can sit." I said calmly.Elisa hesitated for a while before finally taking her seat."So care to enlighten me what a married woman is doing on a blind date?" I asked nonchalantly as I poured water into her cup.Elisa shifted uncomfortably for a bit before sighing and grabbing the cup with her two hands.How cute, I thought to myself seeing her reaction.I already knew what happened, her mother had narrated everything to me, and maybe because I might have made what happened to actually happen.Derrick is a man that will limit her potential, I knew it from the first day I saw him.I was heading to confess my love to Elisa when I found her in the arms of another man, I was pissed, very pissed.In the end, we had a big fight that made us to cut off contact with each other, actually she cut off contact with me."First of all, I'm not here on by my own will I was tricked, also Derrick cheated and we are getting a divorce so I am not exactly a

Elisa's POV Seeing Derrick standing there with his hand wrapped around his mistress waist made me remember past grievances."Why do you need to know?" I questioned back calmly, ready to leave with Damon when Derrick's snort held me back."You seem to have not gotten over me yet, stalking me like this is uncalled for, I will warn you to stop or I'll file a restraining order against you." Derrick heaved making me sigh inwardly.What exactly did I see in this clueless fool that I fell for him."Why don't you sign the divorce papers first." I stated crossing my arms in displeasure.I had just proposed a marriage deal to Damon, it's best I sort out the divorce issue quickly enough."Divorce? You? Divorce me?" Derrick laughed, unable to believe my words, I'm pretty sure I said it yesterday."You have clung to me for some years now, how do you intend to survive on your own without a job." He jested before pushing his mistress forward."My beautiful Mira here is the cousin to Damon Thorne, w

REINAI smirked as I watched Elisa fall to the ground.The high and mighty Elisa, now weak and defenseless before me, I can do anything to her now and get away with it.Crouching to the floor, I slapped her hard on the cheek, her face swelling at the impact."How does it feel to be the one at my mercy now, huh?" I asked, feeling satisfied with the bruise I left behind.With a low tsk, I dragged her into one of the cubicle in case someone decided to come into the bathroom, then exchanged our clothes and slipped her ring onto my finger.By now Damon must have been fed with his own dose of drug, all I need it for him to be lured into the room and for me to show up.He would be mostly drowsy and won't be able to tell the difference between Elisa and I.Our bodies were almost similar after all, I'll just wear a mask to cover my face.When I was done exchanging our clothes, I went to the toilet's main door and knocked on it three times.It took a while but then the knob turned and Thomas or
Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband Blacked out
ELISA"Sweetie, are you done?" Damon yelled from the living area and I yelled back a confirmation.Quickly, I grabbed my purse from the vanity table before walking out."I'm ready." I announced, stepping into his view and he looked absolutely starstruck to see me."I married the most beautiful woman in the world." He complimented making my face heat up."Thank you, you're suit fits you well." I offered my genuine compliment and he flicked my forehead."Nice one, haha." He faked a laugh then acted angry.Was it because I made him wear the colour purple?"Oh, is the royal highness mad he doesn't have to go sporting his black suit about." I mocked and he just rolled his eyes at me.I was about to say something more when I heard gagging sounds in front of us.It was Justin, I know I said I would like him if we met after he sent that picture but the only thing I want to do with him right now was throw him off a cliff."That's disgusting." He commented, but I just held onto Damon's arm tigh

REINAI hate Elisa, I hate her so much I get the urge to puke anytime I see that darn face of hers.She thinks she is all that having rich parents and all.Just because I'm her cousin's best friend gave her the ick so much.Jenna and I basically grew up together, my mother was her nanny so I got to hang around Jenna and also Elisa.At first I admired their wealth and everything, but seeing the presidential treatment they got because of it sickened me.They got whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it.It was annoying and disgusting.I on the other hand had to wait every month for my mother to receive her income just so we could meet up with daily necessities.Jenna was sweet and all so it was easy befriending her, but as for Elisa, she just thinks she owns the entire world.Because of what happened at the wedding, my mom was fired.Recollecting that made me pissed, my grip on my wine glass tightened, I would make that Elisa bitch pay."My dear what are you thinking?" Jenna's dad,

SONG RECOMMENDED; I WANNA BE YOURS BY ARCTIC MONKEYSELISA"Hey honey." I greeted Damon as I stepped into the kitchen, sitting down on the barstool, watching Damon move around.He was not wearing a top, only some sweatpants and an apron."Good morning darling." He moved swiftly to my side, kissing me on the forehead before going back to what he was doing.It was a weekend, and we both decided to clear our schedules to hang out together."I'm making your favourite, crepes and pancakes.""Ohhh, sounds nice." I rubbed my hands together in excitement."I should make us some coffee then." I stood up ready to get to work."No coffee." Damon disagreed sternly.He was busy with the pancakes and had his back turned at me yet he turned me down so sternly.An idea came to my head making me smile."Why?" I asked using a cute voice as I popped my head in front of him but he just frowned only throwing a glance at me."Back away, the pan is hot." Arghh, why was he being so difficult?"But I haven't
Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband Dream come true
DAMONThe voices came as usual screeching loudly in my head, I didn't want to worry Elisa that's why I insisted we should keep on dancing.Plus, if she asks me questions it would be difficult for me to provide the answers.I really regret that we wouldn't be able to make the most out of tonight.I wanted to officially ask her to be my wife, I don't mind us doing a second wedding as well.“She will leave you.” The voices screeched, I could feel the skin crawling on touch on my body, causing me to tremble involuntarily.“Damon, you're trembling, just stop.” Shit, she noticed.“Are you mad? Let's go home then, but first I really want to thank you for this.” She could have just confessed normally it would still be the same, but the fact she put in such efforts touched me.I don't mean to make her angry.She murmured something underneath her breath, before coming to my side to assist me.“Can you walk?” For some reason, as she came closer, the voices stopped.“I said I'm fine.” I repeated
Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband A breach of trust
ELISAI finally confessed to Damon, it felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off my chest.Though crying was not part of my plan, I couldn't control it for some reason.As I was about to respond to Damon's reassuring words, I noticed him frown like he was in severe pain.“Damon, are you okay?” I asked, feeling panicked and not knowing what to do.“I'm fine.” He replied, forcing a smile at me before holding me by the waist and placing my head gently against his chest.“Let's just dance to the music, it's your favorite song.” He stated in a dismissive tone, making me worry.“Damon-”“Eli, this is a moment we both want to enjoy, let's just do this with pleasure.” He looked at me with soft eyes before continuing dancing.Why does it sound like he just told me that regardless of what pain he was going through, it didn't matter right now.I shouldn't lie, I wanted this night to last long as well, I mean we just officially confessed to each other and I just accepted Damon, but his health
