DERRICKI was beyond pissed, the audacity this woman has!With no hesitation, I jerked her out of the bastard's embrace."What the hell are you doing here?" She asked in an irritated tone making me further angry.Instantly I shunned her, tightening my grip on her arm, I'm going to take her back and force some sense into her."Let Eli go." Damon stated calmly, stealing someone's wife and he dares to be so brazen? Is it because of his wealth?"Do you know you're getting engaged to a married woman?" I snickered feeling sickened at his disgusting behavior.No man should ever convent another man's property, it's like a code.The guests started murmuring, their words were against Elisa's favour which made me raise my chin.Whether she liked it or not, she is following me back today.While I was distracted, Elisa stomped my foot hard relieving herself from my grip as she snuggled towards Damon telling him nothing but lies.He believed her, caressing the place I held gently.I looked at the g
DERRICK "Looks like that leg hasn't completely healed yet, you had quite a lot of fun holding me captive this Monday." Elisa commented coldly making me roll my eyes.She's really deep into the act huh."What are you going to do?" I snorted spitting on her face.I was full of confidence that Elisa could not harm me no matter what.Instead of an immediate response, all I got was a chuckle from Elisa, it sounded so emotionless, it made shivers go down my spine.Suddenly, she gripped my hair pulling my hair backwards."You seem to have mistaken me for the Elisa Gilbert you know, I'm no longer that Elisa, I no longer have any reason to put up with your bullshit just for peaceful coexistence."The moment she said, the image of that youthful girl under the cherry blossom tree overlapped with the one in front of me.I gulped wanting to say something but she pressed hard on my injured leg making me groan in pain."I am Elisa Gilbert, the heiress of the Gilbert's family, there's no need for ap
ELISAMoving in with Damon ended up being easier than I thought.He hardly even bothered me with anything during the days we were together, and worked all through the remaining days.It was easy for me to quickly get used to things because of this.He has been helpful so far making time for our wedding preparation as well.Tomorrow was our wedding day so I went back to my parents place because of the tradition of not seeing your husband before your wedding or something like that."Eli!!!!" A voice squealed my name the moment I got down from the car, oh Lord.Kill me."Hey Jenna." I greeted calmly.Compared to my calm demeanour, Jenna eagerly engulfed me in a hug shaking me repeatedly."I always said you and Damon were a perfect match." She said, squealing continuously.Jenna is my cousin from my mom's side that explains their matched energy it's just that with Jenna it always felt like she was on sugar rush or something."Hmm, Jenna is always right." I stated patting her head.Wait, m
ELISA Soon after, my phone vibrated on the table making me return Jenna's phone to her, going to answer the call."Hey." It's Damon."Hi." I greeted, he had probably seen the news as well, I'm curious what's his next move?"Don't go on the internet for now, enjoy your bridal shower." He said in a calm doting voice.I squared my eyes staring into space, the way he spoke...Don't tell me this man still saw me as a sister, after all we are getting married soon, it will be complicated, oh wait, we aren't doing anything intimate so it might not be that much complicated."I've already seen the headlines." I responded with a faint yawn.If Jenna had not shown it to me did he plan on just shutting me out of the news till tomorrow or what.Silence reigned for a bit before Damon spoke up again."Are you going to handle it or should I?" Damon asked, I could hear the sounds of papers in the background.Talk about being addicted to work."Hmm, I'll take care of it, just be a good groom and get re
DAMONFinally, tomorrow is a day I've been waiting for ever since I figured out my feelings for Elisa.I saw no reason to hold a bachelor party, I already asked the people in my inner circle to be at my place as early as possible the next day.I had some work to do, if I want to enjoy tomorrow to the fullest I had to complete everything."Sir." Freddy, my assistant called out making me raise my head, "What?" I asked wondering why he was disturbing my thought process."You need to see this." He said shoving a tab to my front, I took it from him, my original annoyance intensifying as I read through the content.That damn man is quite more difficult than he looks, don't tell me he already regrets cheating on Elisa."You're dismissed." I waved off Freddy staring at the post one more time.The public opinion was jarring, everyone was attacking Elisa, saying she was a vixen.I know she's a strong woman but I don't want her to see this, picking up my phone I drummed my fingers on the table w
DAMONI wasn't in the right stated of mind to go back to the office so I just decided to head home and clear my head.Upon reaching my house, I saw a familiar car parked outside making me frown.This man always gets on my nerves.I sighed the moment I opened the door and saw my lazy ass friend sitting on the couch munching on chips."Justin." I called out coldly making him jump, his face going pale like he had seen a ghost."Oh, hey Damon, I didn't think you'll be back this early." He pointed out looking around nervously.I wasn't in the mood to deal with him right now."I thought I said for everyone to come over tomorrow morning." I said as I dropped my keys removing my suit.I had no servant in the house because I was used to doing everything myself, but since a pampered princess will be moving in with me I need to start considering hiring some.A memory of little Elisa throwing a tantrum because her hair wasn't done the way she wanted to made me chuckle."Eugh, what's with the smil
ELISADamon's confession was not something I anticipated, marrying him with that knowledge seems a little bit difficult."I never thought Damon would come here to see you with such urgency." Reina said coming out of a secluded corner.A frown settled on my face at the thought that she might have been eavesdropping."You don't need to worry, I was not eavesdropping." Reina dismissed her thoughts making her feel a bit at ease."What? Are you scared I'll discover the secret you're using to hold Damon down?" Reina snorted making me raise my brows."Secret?" I asked with amusement in my voice.I didn't know that such a tiny head as hers could come up with something so... Funny?It's true that I had entered this marriage with a contract but I would never stoop so low to blackmail a man into a lifetime commitment."Come on Eli, we both know that Damon doesn't want you, he sees you as nothing but a younger sister."Her words made me recollect Damon's words earlier.I shook involuntarily, chil
ELISA I unconsciously bit my inner lips staring at the picture, my husband to be huh?"Sister, what are you staring at?" Jenna asked wanting to come closer to me and I immediately turned my phone off.It was for my eyes only.There's no need for Jenna to see it as well."It's nothing." I stated calmly, before rising to my feet."Jenna, come over to my room, I have something for you to arrange, you girls can continue to have fun, I'll retire now." I announced, ready to leave."But big sister it's your party, why don't you stay." My cousins whined making me smile a bit."It's my wedding tomorrow as well, we don't the bride to be getting tired, do you?"I asked and they all resigned from arguing with me, I don't know why they thought they could win me."Sister, why did you call me personally?" Jenna asked, her big wide eyes staring at me, this girl is too pure to be out there in the entertainment world.Jenna is a well known actress, I have offered to help her many times but she always
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
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
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
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
DAMON“Let's head in.” Elisa said, stretching her hand out for me to take.With a smile, I took her hands trailing behind her as she led me through the stairs.“Everywhere seems empty.” I pointed out and she nodded.“I rented the whole restaurant out.” Her reply came with a smug look.My eyes softened, I watched in silence as she interacted with the waiter who then led us to a table beside the window with a great overview of the city.I sincerely hope everything won't end up with a horrible turn.Especially since it's almost nighttime.“Damon!” Elisa sharp voice drew me out of my thoughts.“Yes?” I looked at her, forcing a smile, I don't want her know what's going on with me, she might start worrying again, or fight with me for making a “stupid” decision.“You were lost in thoughts? Are you okay?” She inquired, concern evident in her voice.Fuck, I made it so obvious.“It's nothing, I'm just admiring the city view.” I brushed it off, pulling her chair back and leading her to have her
DAMONAfter the meeting was over, I rushed down as soon as I could, just stopped a few steps away from the exit door, I stopped trying to regulate my breathing.It might seem awkward if she finds out I ran out here, after ensuring I was calm, I walked out disregarding the looks my employee's gave me.I saw her sedan parked in front and I jogged over, tapping on the window lightly.“Hey.” She greeted me nervously as she rolled down the window, her face full of questions.Well, my thoughtful employees ended things after 10 minutes, giving me the opportunity to come here earlier.“We finished on early.” I answered her obvious question.An awkward silence followed, and I just stared at Eli with the urge to compliment her.She looks so beautiful, I don't even need to see her full fit to know she's stunning.The only problem was that I couldn't compliment her even if I wanted to.Especially after this morning incident, If I gave her any compliments, she might just think I had intentionally
ELISAI parked my car outside the building, contemplating whether I should go inside or not.In the end I decided to give Damon a call, just In case he was busy.“Hey Damon.” I greeted the moment he picked up the call.“Yes?” He answered, I took in a deep breath trying to regulate my heart beat after hearing his voice.“Are you busy?” I asked, my heart beating so loud I could swear passers-by would be able to hear it as well.“Kind of.”“Oh.” Disappointment crushed me, what was I thinking? Of course, he would be busy, I mean he owes a massive conglomerate.I opened my car door ready to leave when his words stopped my movements, he would be done in the next 30 minutes…My excitement and anxiety all rushed back in as shut the car door back, leaning against the car.“Oh okay, finish your work, I'm downstairs waiting for you.”Damon responded with an okay, but I couldn't care less, I hurriedly got into my car bringing out my compact mirror to check my make-up.Just because of the plan I s
