SONG RECOMMENDED TRAIN WRECK BY JAMES ARTHUR

ELISA

The 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

  • Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband    I'm willing to wait

    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

  • Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband    Derrick is dead

    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

  • Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband    Just wait a bit longer

    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

  • Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband    Weird dreams

    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

    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

    DAMONI 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

  • Return of the forsaken Heiress: Regret of her Ex-husband    I'm confessing tonight

    ELISA“What's the employee's name?” I asked Amber not wanting to believe that it was Derrick standing in my office lobby.“Thomas.” My heart eased a bit hearing the name, I should really call the doctor to confirm some things.“Good day ma'am.” Thomas turned around to greet me, and I was instantly taken aback.His build looks like that of Derrick's, but his face was seventy percent similar to that of Damon.Was the universe trying to play some funny trick on me or what? Well, newsflash it was not funny, not even the tiniest bit.“Let's head into my office. Amber go get me some coffee, get black coffee this time around.” I dished out orders before walking into my office.Dropping my bag on the table I did a round about sitting down on my chair.“You don't get to sit unless I say so.” I frowned when I saw Thomas already taking his seat.“I'm sorry, ma'am.” He apologized, instantly springing up to his feet.His hand clasped themselves tightly, his whole demeanor screamed nervousness, tha

    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

    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
