ELISA

Suddenly, a pull jerked me away from Damon's embrace and I looked up to see Derrick's furious face.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I inquired feeling irritated, the events that happened that day recounting in my head.

"Shut up." Derrick growled making my twitch my eyes, I struggled to get out of his hold but he held on tight.

Being a woman who is much weaker than him there's nothing much I can do.

Guests were starting to murmur wondering what is going on.

Oh no, I glanced around the room in search of my dad, this can not affect his opinion about me.

"Let Eli go." Damon demanded calmly stepping forward, making me sigh with relief.

"Do you know you are about to get engaged to a married woman?" Derrick snickered his grip on me tightening even harder.

"What?"

"The Gilbert's heiress is married?"

"I thought she went abroad go study."

The questions of the guest flew into my ears making my eyes constrict, no, there's no way I'm letting my image get ruined by this man.

    ELISASoon the party was over, everyone already left, including Damon, I told mom and dad to go sleep while I headed to the attic humming a tone, drumming my fingers on the stairs that led downstairs.A smile played on my lips as I pushed the door open to see Derrick and Mira chained on the floor like the dogs they were."You bitch! Not only are you cheating on me, you lied about your identity and made us live in poverty." Derrick spat the moment he saw me making fake a smile at him as I picked up the bat resting on the wall.I guess that's the conclusion his pesky brain can come up with.See, the thing is I really wanted to let Derrick of by just firing him.If I had let my anger get the best of me, I would have done something extremely bad.Not that my parents would stop me or anything, but there's something about crossing the line, once you do, there's no going back."You know, it's been 2 weeks now, but there's a question I keep asking myself, why in hell's name did I fall in love

    ELISA"Dad?" I called out nervously.He can't find out, what if he sees me as unfit.Instead of responding father just squared his eyes at me, then slowly his gaze... Softened?"These past few years must have been hard on you." Father said easing my heart.Suddenly my nose felt itchy, his hands outstretched and pulled me close, hugging me.Maybe it's due to the fact that my father rarely shows concern like this which made my high wall get broken, or just because I've held it in for too long."It's okay, you're getting married to Damon, does he know this?" He asked in an emotionless voice, tucking one hand into his pocket as his other hand patted my back gently."He knows." I sniffed, readjusting my posture.It's okay to show weakness but not for too long I guess."If he tries to do anything outside marriage, tell me, I'll handle it myself." Father stated with a dead pan expression.In other words, if something indeed happens with Damon as Derrick said, the other woman and child might

    DERRICK Mira managed to get us an invitation to the engagement ceremony, with immediate effect I prepared appropriate outfits we would wear to the event.I stared at the large mansion before me, my jaw lowered in awe.The rich are just amazing, imagine owning such a mass property."Remember, we are just friends, we don't know what move we have to pull in there, so it's best to introduce ourselves as friends just Incase, your bump isn't showing that much so luck is in our side."I said to Mira once more before walked into the massive compound.The Gilbert's decided to hold the party at their home since it's also their daughter's welcome party.Too bad she's getting engaged, if not I could have probably used my charms to seduce her.I don't like being associated with women that are superior to me, both Mira and The Gilbert's daughter.Mira has only survived so far because she's meek enough and obeys my every command, as for woman with the power of the Gilbert family, it would be no su

    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

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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    ELISAI narrated only part of the scenario to Damon, I couldn't tell him I had the intention of removing a man's tongue, what would he think of me? In the end, I only mentioned the fake diagnosis and the plan to drag Derrick from the wedding and everything, which he thankfully bought.Hearing him scold me I couldn't help but feel wronged.It's not like I did anything bad."I took precautions, no one knew I was going over there." I argued and he shot my argument down saying someone else messaged him telling him I was meeting up with Derrick.I pursed my lips in realization.No wonder Damon had picked up on the scent on me quickly."The scent was no coincidence either." I thought out loud.I had originally been pondering on how I got Simpson's scent on me just by gripping his clothes.Thinking back, I did catch a whiff of it when I sat down but I brushed it aside.These days, I have been overlooking details as such, and Simpson used that to his advantage."That asshole."
