With everyone in happy spirits, time went by quickly. The guests were chatting and renewing old acquaintances until it was time for the meal and the speeches. But at no time did it seem the right time for Ella to have a private conversation with the man who was supposedly her boyfriend today.
Javier had been placed in between Ella and her mother at the meal table, and Ella had to give him top marks that he saw to it that her mother was not neglected. He was attentive to her too, pleasant and affable. Sometimes it surprised her how her boss, who was cold and distant, could be so caring.
"So," said Damon who had pulled her to the side once he managed to escape after being surrounded by families and friends congratulating him for the whole day. "How is it with you and Javier? Are you two getting chummy?" He wiggled his eyebrows teasingly,

C H A P T E R 1 9 :H I S F A M I L Y Ella decided that it was quite easy to see where this party was heading. She snatched a glass of champagne off the table as Javier and she walked past it and gave a vapid smile in return for the scowl one of his uncles had given when she was being introduced. Although Javier seemed oblivious, it was easy to recognize the disdainful expression of snooty contempt. She knew full well that she was not the same as the rest of the people here, and they clearly realized it. She did not have money or own a company or even have expensive jewelry other than the ring Javier had given her while the rest of the women were wearing pearls, diamonds, and other precious gems. She was a hard-working woman who had to scrape some months just to paythe exorbitant rent on her apartment. Shestood out like a sore thumb. And they knew it just as well as she d

C H A P T E R 2 0 : T H E T E N S I O N The chilly night air always made goosebumps rise on her arms however as she stepped outside the balcony, the cold was like a slap on the face, driving away some of the fog that the champagne had started to create around her head. She leaned on the balcony, putting the two full glasses and one empty glass on the small, wooden table beside her then looked out over the grounds.They were magnificent and seeing them like this, he could see just how well her boss took care of his home or rather, how well he had paid for it to be looked after. The flowers glittered in the fairy lights and the white stone path snaked around the garden, winding through blooming plants and circling softly glowing fountains. It was sad that all of this was just for one person. It made her wonder how lonely she would feel if she lived in a place like this by herself. She

Albeit it was less luxurious than other places her boss had probably gone to, she was not ashamed of it. It was warm and cozy and most importantly, she had paid for it with each dime she had earned. All by herself. She was proud of it. This was the place where she could curl up at the end of a long day. âNice place,â said Javier after a while. âT-thanks.â She was a little taken aback by his comment and realized that he was being nice. Unsure whether that would mean he would stay the night or not, she put her bag on the small table by coat hanger and walked further into her apartment. âDo you want any drink?â sh

The streets lined with palm trees whose leaves were green and lustrous, the hotels dazzling white and glinting in the sun, the layered rows of houses softly washed in pastel colours, over all of the town the brilliant azure sky making it look more like a film set than anything Ella could remember. They drove from the airport in a hired car which she had booked from Rome. Javier knew the route well from previous visits, his long hands capable on the wheel, his hard profile abstracted in thought. âYour older brother lives here, doesnât he?â asked Ella. Oddly enough, she felt slightly irritated by his apparent u

Ella suddenly felt breathless, she was unable to pull herself away. The moment elongated, leaving her curiously weak and intensely conscious of the firm muscles of his thighs against her legs. A sick sensation came up into her throat and she pulled herself together and managed to move away from him, her eyes lowered in self-disgust, shuddering as she realised how she had felt from merely a touch. Previously, Javier had been apt to make one of his barbed comments on such occasions, finding things to mock about her yet he made no remark on what had happened and this left her puzzled and surprised. He then shock her even fu

E L L A S T A N F O R D Javier went to get his swimming trunks, beach towel, and other stuff. Ella was waiting at the hotelâs lobby. While he was away, she was trying to rethink again her decision of spending time with him. It would be ridiculous and quite childish of her to object it on the last minutes. And before she could think of another reason to make her objection valid, he had returned. The hotel had a private section of sand and its own changing cabins. Half an hour later, she emerged from the tiny cabin to find Javier standing at the edge of the water in black trunks, staring out across the blue sea. Unlike herself, he was bronzed by the sun, the hard lean body fit and athletic, his broad shoulders and smooth-skinned back tapering to slim hips and long, muscled, thighs. Reluctantly she walked towards him, conscious of the glances she was getting from some of the young men playing beach-ball over a fixe

C H A P T E R 2 5 : T E S T O S T E R O N E S E L L A S T A N F O R D Ella was not sure what had possessed her but she responded to every kiss, every touch, and her body burned with hot, tingling desire. A power boat was speeding towards them from the misty reaches of the sea instantly awoke her from the trance in which his lovemaking had held her. Her eyes flew open and she gave a low shivering cry. Javier lifted his head, silently taking in her horrified, shamed expression, then a wry smile flickered over his face. Without a word he flung himself over on to his back, breathing hard, staring up at the halcyon blue of the sky that had almost the same color as his eyes. Sick, humiliated, burning with self-contempt, Ella sat up and dived into the sea. Without thinking she swam back towards the beach. The last few moments had been a revelation to her. She

His eyes lingered on her for several seconds before they moved to Robertoâs as he replied, âIt was fine.â âI am guessing it was or else your brother will probaby hear your complaints as soon as the plane lands or perhaps even before.â Roberto chuckled. Javier gave what might seem as a polite smile but Ella noticed the icy look on his blue eyes. He did not think that joke was funny. âHolden always makes sure the service for all of his customers are great and up to standards.â

âDid you perhaps get some pieces of your memory back?â asked Ella, sounding hopeful. Sheâd once been in Clarabelleâs position and she knew how frustrating it was not knowing the past, to have a few years stolen from her memory. Although in the end, Ella managed to gain her memories back. Clarabelle cleared her throat for no particular reason other than to delay answering her sister in law question for several seconds. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat. There was no easy way to say this and she knew that keeping this act for so long wouldnât benefit anyone either yet it was really hard to tell the truth. No one would understand. âLook, Clara,â Ella held my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Ellaâs eyes were understanding and Clarabelle was suddenly filled with immense guilt. âItâs okay. You donât have to say anything. Weâre just so happy youâre alright. Donât force yourself to remember, itâll come eventually. I know this from experience.â Ellaâs smile was what broke Clarabelleâs

âOh, donât be so sure, Brother,â teased Clara with a wink. She turned to Ella and Damon who were on her left. âYou know Ella, and you remember Damon, right?â âYeah, sure.â Maxon nodded at Damon. âHey, man.â But when his eyes moved to Ella, he gave her an awkward smile. âElla.â He wasnât usually this awkward around females especially one married to his brother. Hell, he wasnât awkward with Ava, Thorntonâs wife â maybe only for a few months after his brother told the family about Ava riding their neighbor Josh on the kitchen counter. Truth be told, the fact that he was slightly awkward with Ella was all his sisterâs doing. Before Javier realized his feelings for Ella, Clarabelle had tried to set up a blind date between Ella and Maxon. Furthermore, Max had once said that Ella was hot to Clarabelle, and knowing his sister, she had indeed told Ella.

âAnd youâre married,â reminded Ella, shaking her head. âTrue. But Iâm not blind.â âHowâre you, um,â he scratched the back of his neck uncomfortably, then cleared his throat before adding a soft and barely a whisper, âPrincess.â With three sets of eyes watching him in curiosity mixed with surprise, Macon Summers had a faint blush on his high cheekbones. He cleared his throat one more time and focused his eyes on his little sister. âSister?â Clarabelle let out a small giggle. âSorry, guys, I made him call me that because he was the only one who only visited me once since I got admitted in this hospital.â There was a glint of mischief in her green eyes. After all, one of the reasons little sisters were born was to annoy their brothers. It was a birthright as much as it was an assignment. Maxon heaved an exasperated sigh. âIâve apologized a dozen times, Clara.â He made his way to the empty spot on the right side of her bed. âIâm not going to make the same mistake of asking âwhat else

âWhat about the cake?â Ella eagerly asked as she grabbed an album filled with photos of wedding cakes that sheâd asked from the bakery whoâd made her wedding cake. âWhich one do you want? And how many tiers do you want it to be?â Clarabelle moved the magazine aside so Ella could place the album on her lap. She began checking each cake and reading the label placed next to each photo. âEarl grey sounds lovely,â said Ella, pointing out a cake on the right side of the page. âOr maybe chocolate fudge. That sounds lovely too. We can perhaps have it with white frosting or pale blue to match your dress.â âDarlings.â Damon dramatically sighed. âThis is an easy question. You should stick to the most delicious cake in existence. Coffee and cognac. Keep it elegant, keep it tasty.â He stuck his forefinger and thumb together then kissed them like a chef. âNo, thank you. I think Iâll stick to my favorite cake. Red velvet,â said Clara with a frown. âIâve tasted coffee and cognac during Ellaâs wed

âRemember that itâs all about you, Darling,â said Damon with an exaggerating wave of his hand that made both Clara and Ella giggle. âYou are the center of everything that day. Everything else should be a blur but you should be the only thing thatâs crystal clear in everyoneâs mind.â Clara shook her head, covering her face with both hands. âGosh, youâre being way too much.â âIt wouldnât be Dee if he isnât being too much,â commented Ella with a grin, teasing her best friend. She moved her gaze back to Clara and smiled. âBut I have to say that heâs right, Clara. You should be the center of the event. So have you decided on your wedding theme yet?â âYou guys are killing me,â said Clarabelle with a loud sigh. She brought her hands down and stared at the wedding magazines on her lap. Even though every girl had a vision of their wedding and how they wanted it to be, Clara had forgotten all about hers when sheâd started her company. Sheâd thought of her company as her baby and that she was

HĂ©lĂšne dâaureville had turned Draven Summers into a softie and he didnât like it. Not even one bit. âYes, I am fine, Mum.â He glanced at the door and frowned. Suddenly he felt annoyed that his sisterâs boyfriend had not come out of there and it had been more than twenty minutes. âLet me knock on the door.â With determination, he approached the door, and then without even knocking on the door or giving any warning, he swung that door open. âSister!â Draven greeted the two lovebirds loud enough for the neighboring rooms to hear. âMum and Dad are here to see you. And of course, your fiancĂ©.â He opened the door wider and held it so both of their parents could walk inside. Much to Dravenâs dismay, his sister and her lover werenât making out. They were at a polite distance. She was on the bed while he was sitting on the chair next to her bed. The atmosphere was different too, it was not as hot and bothered as it had been about half an hour ago. It seemed that they had been having a convers
