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

DAMONThat bastard, Derrick, should thank his stars Elisa had already knocked him out when I came in.Seeing her disheveled state, my heart clenched tightly, how scared she must have been?Since the pest was refusing to die normally, I'll make sure to squash it myself.Putting Elisa as a priority, I gently picked her up and walked out the hotel.The drive home was not an easy one as she was all over me, making my control wear thin.I reached the point I just started chanting pi numbers in my head just to keep sane."Eli pleaseeee." I pleaded the moment she reached into my chest.It's not like I don't want her, goodness no, I want her more than anything in this world, but I don't want our first time together to be under the influence of a drug.What if she regrets it later?No, I must persevere and push forward.Soon, the doctor came and gave Eli some drugs and she dozed off."She should be awake in the next three hours." He stated before leaving me.I stared at Eli's bruised face, ang

DAMONSighing, I picked up the bowl from the sink and turning off the tap, throwing the towel over my shoulder, before walking out.I would have to swap our rings to normal stones, but that would mean I have to stay away from Eli at night time.The thought was dissatisfying but as long as I still get to be with her on the long run, it's manageable.Opening the room door, I caught sight of Eli sitting up on bed, she looked lost, confused and weak.Probably wondering how she got here."You're awake." I pointed out, her gaze shifting towards me with her instantly tearing up.I quickly set down the materials in my hand and rushed over to her side."Are you alright?" I asked, my heart racing with fear.Did he erase her memory? Does she hate me?My panic eased a bit when Elisa wrapped her hand around my waist, burying her head into my chest."I'm sorry." She apologized amidst her tears."It's okay." I cooed patting her back gently, my eyes narrowing as I stared into space.Something definit

REINA I smiled the moment I got the text from that skirt chasing old man.I can't believe he actually got the guts to defy the Gilbert's family.Running away and announcing the divorce online, such cowardice."I need to go back to my apartment to get that document." Derrick said making me sigh.Why must men always be so whiny? Only few are matured and dignified just like Damon.The rest? Honestly disgusting and pathetic."You think I don't know that? Damon is probably looking for you everywhere right now, going back to your place at this point would be such a dumb move."I have to explain everything like abc to a child."It's all that bitch's fault." Derrick muttered, sinking into the couch and undoing his tie, revealing his well toned chest.His hand traced his bandaged head and a sigh followed again.My eyes followed his every movement with intrigue.I should have made him get that plastic surgery, it now made sense to me why Elisa who was head over heels in love with Damon in the

DERRICKThis Reina bitch was actually more simple than I thought.Turns out her target was Damon all along.I wonder what both she and Elisa sees in that man though.Apart from his money, he was nothing more, he doesn't even have the looks in the bag for him.He was just like every other sapiens that exists.When I was done with her, I stood up and left here there on the couch heading to go take a shower."Fucking Elisa." I cursed, my hand slamming against the wall in anger.If not for her being so stubborn I won't have a bandage wrapped around my head.Sighing, I dipped my body into the bathtub.A memory replaying in my head.********"Hey." I greeted softly, approaching the girl that sat under the cherry blossom tree, with a book in her hand, tears silently streaming down her cheeks."Are you okay?" I inquired feeling a certain pull towards her.At first she refused to glance at me, and instead wiped her tears."I'm fine." She stated in a calm yet cold voice, the wind whooshing, sen

ELISA"Baby." Mom cried out for me, coming into the room and hugging me tightly.I threw Damon a glance but he just adjusted his glass frame on his nose and looked elsewhere.Snitch "Are you alright?" Mom asked looking all over my body for a supposed injury or something.This woman, just too dramatic."I'm fine mom, if not for Damon insisting on my bedrest I would have been up since yesterday."I rolled my eyes trying to wiggle out of her grip."Well it's a good thing he is insisting, I know you would hurry back to work the moment you're mobile."My father casually strolled in holding his staff as his right hand adjusted his monocle."I got that from you." I shot at him.He was the one that thought me not to be a weakling and also learn to tough things out no matter what."You shouldn't worry your mother, you were in bed for 5 days and the moment you wake up you want to work."It was obvious why he was mad, I made his wife worry, such a simp."Whatever." I tsked, folding my arms and

ELISA"Today is the day." I muttered to myself pacing about the living room when I felt a tug on my arm, then I came crashing onto Damon's legs."Relax, love." He cooed rubbing my back gently."How are you not worried?" I questioned, why was I the only one feeling this anxious, I wondered as my foot tapped the ground relentlessly."Well darling, my mind is pretty much occupied right now, if you don't mind me, I can help take your mind off it as well."Hearing his words, I went rigid turning slowly to look at my husband to see if he was the same person who was acting pious and refused to touch me previously, it's like a switch flipped."I'm serious." I punched his shoulder, while he chuckled, stopping abruptly to stare at me intently with his chin resting on my shoulder."I know." His words came to a pause as he gathered my two hands in his, before looking back into my eyes."Jewel, I've watched you pour your heart into this for the past week, have believe in your handwork, okay? no on

RATED 18ELISAI arrived in front of the conference room, Freddy waiting for me outside.My heart felt uneasy, I was late and I did not bring anyone but Amber with me.Dealing with strangers can be stressful.Being informed only 30 minutes before the time, I did not have enough time to gather my people, so I just rushed here instead.A curt nod was directed at Freddy as a greeting while he responded with a deep bow, opening the door for me."Good day Mrs Thorne." He greeted, it still felt weird hearing people call me by that name though.Taking in a deep breath, I walked into the conference room, and I could see everyone was seated already.I bit my inner lip trying to maintain my composure.I wasn't nervous, I just hated the fact that I was this late."I apologize for my tardiness." I bent my head slightly, before taking my seat, one farthest from Damon.His gaze has been trained upon me since I walked in, but I do not want to look at him.Currently we have a business issue to deal w

RATED 18 CONTENT WOULD APPEAR LATER IN THIS CHAPTER, READ WITH CAUTION.REINA"I'm here honey." My 'sweet' voice resonated throughout out the apartment but it was met with no response.What could the old man be doing?Taking off my shoes, I headed straight to the living area to see the old man sitting on the couch deep in thoughts.I only left him for few days and he suddenly looked like he had aged 50 years more."Sweet heart, what's wrong?" My voice came out soft and gentle, as I sat down beside him, rubbing my hand on his lap in a bid to comfort him."I might have made the wrong choice." A mutter left his lips causing me to frown.Taking a detailed glance at him, I noticed his gaze was fixated forward and following the trace, I saw an envelope sitting there on the coffee table.Not asking for permission, I grabbed the envelope and pried it open to see a document stating he has been called to court for a divorce hearing.Apparently so he could compensate for emotional damage."What'

REINAI kept refreshing the official page of both Thorne and Gilbert's empire, why aren't they saying anything yet?"Argghhhhhhh." I screamed, throwing my phone at the coffee table."Seems your plan wasn't all that great in the end." Derrick scoffed, puffing smoke out of his mouth."This is your fault, you probably stole the wrong documents.""Woman, watch the way you speak to me." He threatened in a low voice but I just rolled my eyes."Whatever." I stated before falling back into my chair, rocking it slowly."Even if this doesn't work, hopefully they would have fought after that text." "You think Damon will fall for that?""What would you do if your so called dear Mira comes home, reeking with another man's perfume." I jabbed him and he just raised his brows, crushing his cigarette into the ash tray beside him."Mira is pregnant, even if she had given birth, no man wants a woman with baggage." He explained calmly making me cringe.Such a misogynistic fool."So what's your next plan
Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband First Fight
ELISAI don't know what's going on with Damon, and honestly, I was worried.In the end, instead of leaving I stayed by the door and ended up falling asleep.The scene of Damon dying haunting me in my dreams, seeing him laying on the floor like that must have triggered it.By the time I opened my eyes, I was in my room laying on my comfy bed and not the cold hard floor.A small smile settled on my lips as I rolled to one side, feeling giddy- it was still 5am, I don't know if I could go out now.I curled up my body into a ball lost in my thoughts.What if Damon treats me the same way he did last night?But he won't have brought me into the bedroom if he wants to keep treating me coldly.I don't understand the act at all.He was clearly in pain, yet he was pretending to be okay.Same thing happened at the restaurant that day.No, I shouldn't be thinking about this right now.My main focus should be on the new jewelry set.But that involves Damon as well, I'm pretty sure there would be an

DamonIt was a long agonizing period till Dawn finally came.A weak sigh escaped my lips as the voices in my head slowly faded off and the headache reduced.When I felt a bit of energy return to me, I stood up using the sink as support before facing the mirror directly, staring at my reflection.I had eye bags underneath my eyes, well that's what I get for not sleeping well for days.Washing my face, I turned the knob and exited the toilet, my leg hitting something which made me frown.I don't remember placing anything at the entrance.My gaze dropped to the floor as I saw Elisa sleeping by the door, it felt like my heart was being squeezed out every drop of blood in it.My precious jewel.Gently, I picked her up, scooping her into my arms as I carefully walked out of my bedroom to hers.She must have been so worried, why didn't she leave after seeing my attitude? There was no reason to persist.My thoughts were cut short when Elisa snuggled to me, her cheeks rubbing my chest softly.
Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband She was happy
DAMON I turned off the gas cooker and dropped the towel on the table top, ready to go call Elisa for dinner then the land line rang. I frowned wondering who it could be this late at night then I recollected dropping off my phone with Freddy, I had been so swooned by Elisa that I forgot to reach out to inform that I won't be coming back to work. Well, I would still make that same choice if I was given a second chance. Eli was an epitome of beauty. The ring of phone snapped me out of my thought as I snapped back to reality, pushing the dirty thoughts that were forming to the back of my mind I reached for the phone. "Hello, Thorne's residence."I answered calmly, using my shoulder and head to hold the phone in place as I dished the food out. I wonder what I should make for breakfast tomorrow. "Sir?" "I know it's you Freddy, speak up." Hearing the disdain in my tone, I could hear Freddy gulp before he concluded his words. "Well, Miss Reina r
Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband What just happened?
ELSA"So we planned to use a pink sapphire before right?"Not getting a response, I looked up to see Damon's disapproving gaze."What?" I asked feeling confused, why did he look so mad?"Eat five spoons before speaking on anything concerning that issue." He scolded causing me to sigh with disbelief, so that was it.Dropping my tab, I picked up my fork and murmured a thank you, before digging into my spaghetti."It feels like I am the only one worried about this issue." I muttered underneath my breath while he just gave me a small smile and sat down on the chair opposite me, eating his food as well.After taking 5 spoons as he instructed, I set up the tablet in a landscape manner seeing the jewelry I designed with my hands on full display.Fully produced yet my name was no where near the credit.The Thornes' has been looking to expand their reach into the jewel industries and we landed the collaboration contract, I handled the design myself because it was important.My first big projec
Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband Solution to every problem
ELSAI stared at Damon's broad back with delight as blood rushed to my face recollecting what went down few hours ago.I suddenly felt like back then in middle school where I would sneak to the football field to watch him play, the way he moved around the field and everything, nobody ever noticed cause I was mostly under bleachers or somewhere hidden.Like a little girl in love.It was a good thing that I pushed for those questions, now it felt like I was truly one with my husband.Hearing the ring of my phone, I turned to pick it up and saw it was Amber.Could it be something that has to do with Simpson? I couldn't pick up the call beside Damon right now.Pursing my lips, I decided to leave when his strong pair of arms held my waist down as he nozzled his nose against my neck."I didn't know you were awake." I commented, swiftly cutting the call and placing the phone back on the stand.Hopefully, that doesn't seem suspicious."I wasn't until a few moments ago." He explained while I m
