The CEO’s Secret Secretary CHAPTER 30
ELLA'S POVSomething in me wanted to call Damien to know how he was fairing and if he was feeling better but I didn't want to seem too forward. I just hoped he was already doing okay.I walked into the company feeling a little tired than usual but I ignored it. There had been a lot going on recently and maybe my body just needed a little rest. I walked up to Damien's office but he wasn't here yet. Was he still sick?I started contemplating on if I should go to his house again to check up on him. I felt uneasy due to his absence and after minutes of arguing with myself, I decided to head over to his house.I boarded a cab that took me there and held the golden card in hand in case the security guard forgot about me.Arriving at the gate, I rang the doorbell, and as expected, the tiny door opened, and a hand stretched out. I placed the golden card in it and the door was immediately opened as the security guard stared at me in happiness.“You came again.” He said and I nodded with a nerv

DAMIEN'S POVI couldn't help but notice the change in Ella's behavior when she sent me out of the office to get an iced pack. It was almost like she was mad at me for something I knew nothing about.I returned to my office and pulled open the freezer that stood by the end of the office. I guess I have Sylvia to thank for making me keep this here in case of emergencies.I took out an iced pack and returned to the office where I heard them speaking to each other. Julietta seemed happy to talk to Ella but Ella's tone suggested otherwise. I hovered outside the door for a moment as I listened in on their conversations.“So how's my brother been treating you?” I heard Jullietta say and there was silence for a while before she spoke up again.“What's wrong?”“Damien is your brother?” Ella asked and I could hear the shock in her voice. Hold on… her attitude was finally making sense…She had probably misunderstood us and thought that we were dating. She did say something about me cheating prev

DAMIEN'S POV“Will you ever forgive them?”“I don't see any reason why I should,” I replied as I placed the phone on the table and she gestured for me to sit beside her.“I can't understand that you would never forgive Mom; I can't forgive her too. But Father… he's been trying his best to build his relationship back with you. Don't you think you should give him a chance?” She asked softly as she placed her hands over mine but I shook my head immediately.“Does he really deserve my forgiveness? If he was never so distant, if he was always there whenever I needed him, then I wouldn't have had to go through all that shit. Your mom wouldn't have had to threaten me by using you as bait. I wouldn't have lost my freedom as a child. Think about it, Julie.” I said and pulled my hands out of hers but she held it back again as she pouted at me sadly.“I'm not asking you to forgive my mom. I just want you to give father a chance to show that he's sorry. He still doesn't know what my mom did to yo

ELLA'S POV“Be my girlfriend.” He said with his face inches away from mine. I gulped in response as I tried to pull away, but he was holding my chair in a tight grip.“What are you talking about, Damien? You can't just ask me to be your girlfriend out of nowhere! That's absurd.” I replied, my face flushed in embarrassment as I looked everywhere except his eyes and he chuckled softly.“I'm simply offering you a solution so that you can stand by my side. Or will you like me to announce that you're my mistress?” He teased and I slapped my hand over his chest as I huffed in annoyance.“Why don't you take someone else? Why me? You could have taken Keyla or Selina, why me?” I asked grumpily and he smirked as he made me look at him before he placed a soft kiss on my lips.“Because I can't go with any of them. They're not my secretary, they didn't come to my house to take care of me when I was sick, they don't make me go crazy like you do… That's why I'm choosing you. Besides, it's only ratio

ELLA'S POVDays had passed since Jullietta, Damien's sister, returned, and it was nothing but fun with her. She was very friendly and it was almost like we had known each other our whole lives.Ever since that day that I helped Damien get off in my office, our relationship had grown significantly and we got closer than before. I didn't want to admit that I loved his company but I had to remind myself why I was doing everything.To find out the truth and get justice for Sylvia.However, the times I've spent with Damien only showed me that he was pure and would never do anything without a reason. He might try to put up a cold front in front of everyone but to me, he was a very vulnerable man that didn't deserve to be alone.Damien must have seen something that made him fire Sylvia. But why was there no evidence? They seemed really close, what suddenly happened between them?I needed to get to the bottom of everything but my relationship with him has to be very strong. I need him to be a

ELLA'S POVJulietta had insisted that I come to Damien's house to get dressed so that we could leave together so I had no choice but to do as she had said. The security guard was very happy to see me and I couldn't help but feel amused at his reaction.I sat in front of the mirror as Julietta helped me style my hair while I played with my hands nervously. I might have agreed to go with Damien because I didn't have a choice but I couldn't help but feel nervous about everything.What if I messed up?“Relax, Ella. If you keep sweating like this, then I won't be able to put any makeup on you. Not that you need one anyway but seriously, breathe. It's going to be fine. It's just an event and you'll have me and Damien by your side. Nothing will go wrong.” She reassured me as she continued to style my hair and I nodded in response before taking deep breaths.She was right, what could go wrong?She finally finished styling my hair and then got to work on my face. In a few minutes, she was done

I couldn't take my eyes off her. It was like I was enchanted, charmed but I didn't care. As long as it was her… I just didn't care anymore.It was crazy to know that I felt that way about her because I wanted to trust no one after what Sylvia did to me. But there was something about her that drew me in and I couldn't deny that I felt something for her.Julietta did a very good job by filling my head with constant talks about Ella and I knew that she fancied her a lot.Picking out that blue sundress was one of the best decisions I've ever made because it blessed me with the sight of an ethereal beauty-I suddenly slapped my forehead with my palm when I realized how cheesy I was getting. I was never this way with Sylvia yet I loved her with all my heart. I shook my head to dismiss the thought as I watched Julietta and Ella compliment each other on how beautiful they looked."Is no one really going to tell me how handsome I look? I asked with a sulky expression and they both exchanged gl

ELENA'S POV“Damien.” I heard a voice say and I looked behind Damien to see a woman standing there with a smile on her face. Julietta’s eyes widened as she stood up in an instant but the woman wasn't fazed.She looked like she was in her late thirties or early forties but I couldn't deny that she was a beautiful sight to behold.Damien was frozen, his entire body felt stiff against mine after the woman spoke and I couldn't help but feel confused. Who was this woman and why did she have an effect on Damien?“Aren't you happy to see me, Damien?” She said as she placed her hand on his shoulder but he immediately slapped it away, causing me to let out a soft gasp in shock.“Don't. Touch. Me.” He gritted every word out like he had a problem speaking and I shuddered at how dangerous he sounded. I have never seen him this way before… Just who was this woman?“Julietta, your brother still holds a grudge against me, right? Look at you, you're all grown up now… You were still so little the last

“Let me tell you something you don't know about me as well.” She said after placing a kiss on my lips and I raised a brow at her in surprise.The rain had stopped falling, but flashes of lightning still graced the sky, a reminder of the storm that had just passed me by.I had always gone through hard times like this alone. I would remain crouched in the corner while begging that she doesn't come closer until the rain stopped and I returned to the reality that she was there.However, Ella… She had stayed by my side even though I pushed her away. She was slowly prying my heart open and I feared that she would take full control of it before I could stop her.“Tell me. You've told me about your dad's death and your mother's hatred for you… What else did you go through?” I asked, and she smiled a little as she opened her mouth to speak, but I stopped her.“Hold on,” I mumbled as I leaned back into the chair and then gestured for her to lay her head on my chest instead. “It's your turn.”Sh

ELLA'S POVMy heart was racing as I pushed the door to Damien's office open and I froze when I saw him on the floor, curled up like a child while he kept mumbling to himself.“Damien?” I called out, but the thunder clapped at the same moment, and a scared whimper escaped his lips as he tried to enter into the wall behind him.“Don't come closer… stay away from me…” He kept mumbling and I frowned when I realized it was the same he kept saying when I was at his house to take care of him.What exactly have you gone through, Damien?“Damien, it's me, Ella. Look at me.” I said as I placed my hand on his but he immediately swatted it away as he tried to move away from me.It was the same reaction he had that day at the event… Could it be…“Damien, look at me! It's Ella, come on.” I said as I pulled his hands away from his face and made him look at me but he immediately pushed me away from him.My eyes widened when I noticed the tears running down his face and I didn't think twice before I s
The CEO’s Secret Secretary CHAPTER 43
DAMIEN'S POVI couldn't deny the fact that I missed Ella with everything in me. Ever since I had lashed out at her at the event, she has refused to speak to me. I know it was all my fault for being so cold to her that day but I couldn't stop myself.My mind was blank that day and I didn't even know what I was saying or doing. I've done everything to get her attention but whenever she sighted me, she'd walk off in the other direction.She probably hated me now.I've visited her office a few times but it was either locked from inside or empty. She was ignoring me at every chance she got and it was killing me inside.“She's still not talking to you?” I heard Julietta say as she walked inside my office and I sighed before turning away from the window.“She must hate me now. I wouldn't be surprised if she did, I spoke to her really harshly that day.” I mumbled as I collapsed on the chair and she sighed in frustration.“You messed everything up when you first spoke harshly to her at the bar
The CEO’s Secret Secretary CHAPTER 42
ELLA'S POV“There's something I'd like to talk to you about, Syl,” I said softly and she nodded for me to go on as I took her hands in mine.“I'm sorry but… I don't want to continue with the revenge plan anymore.” I started and her eyes widened as she pulled her hands away from mine. “Hold on, it's not what you're thinking. I'm not in love with Damien. I just don't want to have anything to do with him anymore.”“What do you mean?” She asked in confusion, and I let out a sigh as I ran a hand through my hair in frustration.“I just don't want to get close to him anymore. His sister likes me a lot and keeps hinting that I should date her brother-”“Wait, you've met his sister? Julietta?” Sylvia asked in shock and I nodded in affirmation as a scoff of disbelief escaped her lips.“I don't like Damien, don't get me wrong. The only reason I approached him was to get revenge for you and you know that. But now, I don't know, it feels wrong. They both trust me already and I don't want to break
The CEO’s Secret Secretary CHAPTER 41
ELLA'S POVIt's been days since we left the event at Damien's father's house and I haven't spoken with Damien ever since then. Not after how he pushed me away like I was nothing to him. I thought nothing about him could hurt, I didn't even feel that hurt when he told me to mind my business.But pushing me off when all I wanted to do was help him? Was that how he repaid me for caring for him? I had driven back home in silence that day, regretting why I agreed to follow him to the damn event anyway.Julietta had tried to talk to me as well but I avoided both of them. I didn't need her to explain to me why he did what he did. He can keep his damn secrets and experience to himself, it was all my fault for trusting him and telling him about mine.I shouldn't have gotten closer to him, it made my head hurt. I shouldn't have listened to Sylvia when she told me to help her get revenge. Now that I felt something for him, what was I supposed to do?How was I supposed to complete the so-called r

DAMIEN'S POV“What do you want from me, Maria? Haven't you had enough? You tortured me for ten years of my life, isn't that enough for you to stop? Aren't you satisfied with my dad?” I asked in frustration but she chuckled in amusement as she shook her head in response.“You shouldn't have run away, Damien. It was so unruly and disrespectful of you. After all the love and affection I gave to you, you decided to run away from me, did you think you could run away forever?” She asked in her irritating, soft voice, and I clenched my hands into fists as I glared at her.“Love and affection? You call molesting me love and affection? You threatened every day for ten years by using Julietta as bait. I was powerless to you then, but not anymore. You can do nothing to me, Maria.” I said coldly even though I was trembling within.My brain kept replaying the scenes of me tied up in a chair when I was young while she had her way with me. If I ever fought back, she'd hurt Julietta and I couldn't le
The CEO’s Secret Secretary CHAPTER 39
ELLA'S POVThe panicked expression on Julietta's face had me worried as we looked around, but there was no sign of him anywhere. I wished that I understood what was going on but Julie wasn't telling me anything, which only confused me the more.Damien was a grown man, why would he be in trouble just because he was alone? What were they hiding from me?“Julie, at least tell me something, anything that'll give me an idea as to where he is. I don't even understand why you're panicking so much.” I said in frustration but she still wouldn't tell me anything as she continued to pace around anxiously.“Listen, I'm not the one who's supposed to tell you any of this. Damien is the one who'll tell you everything, which is why we gotta find him as soon as possible. You won't understand now, but you'll understand soon, just trust me.” She replied as she tried calling his number, but he wasn't picking up, and I couldn't help the dread that took over me.“Let's do this, how about we split up and fi

AUDREY'S POVI rushed out of Aiden's ward after hearing Scott's words. He wouldn't tell me what had happened to Claire so I had to find out by myself. I rushed downstairs and he was right behind me as we both walked into the doctor's office.“Doctor, how's my friend?” I asked in worry as I sat down on the chair opposite him and he let out a sigh before taking off his glasses. Scott sat next to me and took my hand, almost like he was giving me the silent support that I needed.“Well, your friend was hit badly from behind at the back of her head. She's fine now but there's a little problem…” He said calmly and my heart pounded wildly in my chest as he placed his hands on the table.“Tell me what it is, doctor. As long as she's fine and she's not dying, I'm sure it's not that bad.” I said to him but I didn't know if I was reassuring myself or reassuringly him.“Your friend might end up losing her memory.” He said and it felt like a bomb had been dropped inside me. “With how badly she was
