When Eleana and Ayden reached Vancouver the next morning, they were greeted by another storm. The Davis family, who had been silent since the flopped engagement day, finally dared to show their faces. Natasha had released the video of Ayden pushing her away, which caused her fake miscarriage. The video instantly became the most trending topic throughout the country, which resulted in Ayden receiving much hate. People began to attack him online, while the paparazzi went crazy over the news. Since no one knew about their visit to Toronto and coming back, they safely escaped the public's eyes before reaching the Campbell mansion. "I can't believe that wrench. How dare she accuse my son like that?" Kathleen fumed in pure rage while walking back and forth in her living room. Ayden was making some phone calls while Eleana was sitting on the sofa quietly opposite Philip, who looked quite lost in his thoughts. Eleana glanced at Philip before staring at him for a few seconds. This was not wha
They all entered Philip's study room one by one. Philip was the first to enter, while Ayden was last. After closing the door, Ayden turned to look at his father, who had already walked over to the huge couch placed in the middle of the study before sitting down. Kathleen also followed him before sitting down beside him. Eleana, on the other hand, glanced at her surroundings while walking towards the couch next to Philip and Kathleen. It's been a while since the last came in Philip's study. Everything was neat and clean. From the furniture to the files, everything was in perfect order.After everyone took their seats, Philip cleared his throat before looking in Eleana and Ayden's direction."What's the matter with you two? What did you want to talk about?" Philip asked casually while hiding his distress. Kathleen was already feeling anxious about the whole situation. She tried not to overthink or show her emotions on her face."We want to know some things about Eleana's parents; I hope
Philip couldn't speak for a while as he just stared at Ayden in shock. Kathleen also looked dumbfounded as she looked at Ayden and Eleana. "So you are saying that they didn't board the plane and there's a possibility that they are alive?" Philip asked again to confirm everything he just heard because it's not something he could just listen to and believe. "Yes, Dad. There's a possibility that everything was staged by someone." Ayden nodded as he replied to Philip. "Where's Simon now?" Philip asked after a moment of silence. "He's in Sicily right now." Ayden replied while glancing at Eleana, who looked lost in her thoughts. Ayden reached out to grab her hand. When he placed his hand on hers, Eleana came back to her senses before turning to look at him. Ayden raised his brows, silently asking her what was going on. Eleana shook her head, mumbling a simple nothing. On the other hand, Philip's face darkened after hearing Ayden's reply. "He's most probably with them." Philip gritted hi
Eleana felt her whole world begin to collapse once again after hearing everything from Philip and Kathleen. Nothing was making sense around her anymore. The more she tried to think of everything, the more distressed she got. Ayden noticed the sudden changes in her, which made him completely turn around to face her. Ayden cupped her face with one hand while gently gripping her other hand. "Are you alright?" He asked in concern while gazing directly into her eyes. This also made Philip and Kathleen worried. They also composed themselves before turning their attention to Eleana. Kathleen quickly got up from her seat before walking towards Eleana's side. She quickly sat down beside her. Eleana, on the other hand, shook her head lightly before placing her hand on Ayden's, which was covering her face. She gently squeezed his hand before slowly removing it from her face. She pressed her lips together after taking a long breath. "Eleana, my darling! I'm sorry for everything you are suddenly
Eleana was half lying on the bed when she heard the sound of the bedroom door being opened. She instantly opened her eyes before sitting straight on the bed. She didn't even realize it when she dozed off while waiting for Ayden. As expected, it was Ayden who walked in."You are still awake." Ayden's words didn't come out as a question but as a statement after she noticed Eleana moving around on the bed. Eleana rubbed her eyes before letting out a yawn. He thought she would probably be asleep by now but here she was still awake and waiting for him. Ayden sighed. "I was waiting for you. I didn't know when I dozed off." Eleana sighed as she moved away from her seat, creating a space for Ayden to sit beside her. Ayden noticed that she had already freshened up and changed into a pair of comfortable clothes. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail. He nodded before walking towards the bed and then sitting down beside her. He looked at her face which was now void of any makeup. He was always fas
The Davis mansion was decorated luxuriously with shining lights, expensive flowers, and chandeliers. Eleana scoffed when she glanced at everything around her from the car. She turned to look at Ayden, who was silently observing her."Do you want me to come with you?" Ayden asked when Eleana turned to look at him. She gave him a sweet smile before shaking her head negatively."My dear husband, you don't need to worry about me. I can handle myself." She replied quickly and wittily before leaning forward and then placing a quick peck on Ayden's lips. Ayden sighed while a small smile graced his lips. He reluctantly nodded."I think Lucien is going to be here." Eleana paused before suddenly remembering about Lucien. Since Lucien was also involved with Lincoln, he must be present there as well since it's Maria's birthday."There's a possibility. Don't worry about him. I will be there in the crowd too. If anything tends to go wrong, then I will step out." Ayden reminded her of the plan, maki
Natasha looked at the crowd of people surrounding her. A flash of panic crossed her eyes before suddenly disappearing. Eleana didn't miss it when she noticed Natasha's eyes stopping on someone behind her for a few seconds before she completely masked her previous expression.Eleana wanted to turn around and see who it was, but she was interrupted by Natasha's sudden words."Of course. I'm already turning five months old. My baby is growing strong and healthy. He's Campbell after all." Natasha flashed Eleana her perfectly pearly white teeth as she spoke with a pinch of pride and arrogance in her voice. Eleana shouldn't be surprised by the homelessness of this woman, but every time she never ceases to surprise her more and more. What a shameless, hypocritical woman!"Of course, of course. My daughter is carrying Campbell's blood in her belly. We couldn't be more blessed." Maria stood up at her daughter's rescue. Gone was the previous distressed expression; now there was only cunningness
Natasha slowly turned around with a frown on her face when she noticed everyone looking behind her curiously. Maria and Lincoln also turned around to look behind them. They all frowned when they noticed the big screen, which they had arranged to show Maria and Lincoln's photos, suddenly changed. The screen was showing some special folders that were yet to play."What is this nonsense?" Natasha asked as she turned to scowl at Eleana, who had just passed her a sweet smile."Let's find out together," Eleana answered while tucking a strand of hair behind her back. Natasha didn't know why, but she suddenly felt panicked. Her palms began to sweat. She turned around to look at the screen, uncertainty filling her eyes."What is going on?" Lincoln asked as he turned to glare at Eleana coldly. Eleana shrugged carelessly while walking towards the screen. She walked towards the stage before grabbing a microphone. Maria glanced at her husband worriedly, but he simply chose to ignore her."What is
Eleana slowly walked towards the long mirror planned in the centre of the room before standing in front of it. Her sapphire-blue eyes collided with her reflection in the mirror. She looked a little nervous. Eleana tried to swallow it down while glancing from top to bottom. She was dressed in a white mermaid wedding gown with a sweetheart-illusion neckline. The silhouette of the dress stayed fitted from the chest to her knees and then flared out the rest of the length to the floor, along with the long veil adorning the top of her elegant bun. Eleana could feel her heart palpating against her chest as she stared at herself. Her make-up was done elegantly, and her hair was put in a beautiful low bun. She was wearing a small diamond necklace, which her mother bought for her, along with matching earrings."You look beautiful, baby." Eleana heard her mother's soft voice behind her, making her turn around. She smiled at her mother and Kathleen."Thank you, Mama. You two look gorgeous." Elean
Eleana slowly opened her eyes before closing them again to adjust to the light. She felt like her whole body was on fire. She couldn't move at all because of the pain she was feeling in her lower body. She frowned while looking around the unfamiliar room and bed she was in. As she tried to remember what happened, her head began to hurt, making her let out a painful groan."You are awake. Don't move, Princess." Eleana heard Ayden's worried voice, making her turn around to face her. She visibly winched when she noticed his awful state. He looked absolutely awful with those dark circles and eye bags."What happened?" Eleana tried to get up while asking. Ayden was quick to react. He stopped her own time."Don't move." He warned her while gently pushing her down. Eleana frowned and was about to ask him more questions when her hand accidentally brushed her stomach, making her eyes widen in shock. Her stomach was flat."My baby!" Eleana exclaimed as flashbacks started to run through her head
"What rubbish are you talking about?" Giovanni gritted out while clenching his fists tightly. As he spoke, his facial expression changed, and he glanced at his father, who looked puzzled as well."You should know this better than me." Ayden chuckled while glancing at Lucien, who suddenly got up from his seat and then brought some documents out of nowhere. He then walked towards Leonardo and handed him all the files. Leonardo took the files with a nod before putting the documents in front of Antonio, who leaned forward and took one of the files before opening it."These are the proofs of what you, Luca, and Alessandro have been doing for years behind our backs." This time, Leonardo spoke up and then pulled out a remote from his pocket. He pressed a button, which made some piles of documents and photos flash on the screen one by one, making both Luca and Giovanni's eyes go wide in pure shock and terror. Antonio's face changed colour as the icy mask he had been putting on all along dropp
"What!" The three of them asked in unison. The rest of the family members were also shocked as they stared at Antonio in shock. The only people who were calm in the whole room were Eleana, Ayden, Lucien, and Leo. Eleana glanced at the man who sat quietly beside Antonio without much expression on his face."You guys heard me," Antonio responded coldly."How could you say that?" Giovanni couldn't contain his anger as she raised her voice at Antonio."Dad, are you out of your mind? This marriage is important for us. for our business. Everything's already done. The deals are signed. How can you just call off the marriage?" Luca roared at his father. He couldn't believe his impulsiveness. This old bastard was out of his mind."I see you two have already learned to raise your voice at me." Antonio chuckled while turning to look at Ayden. They exchanged a look before Ayden nodded and then pulled out a remote out of nowhere. He then pressed the remote, making the big black monitor light up. E
Finally, the most anticipated day arrived. It was Andres and Idalia's wedding day. The ceremony was supposed to take place in the afternoon. Even though the whole villa was busy preparing for the wedding, the members of the family were quiet, except for the younger ones. For the past two days, the wedding preparation has been going on, yet there has been no wedding vibe at all. Ayden and Lucien had been really busy for the two days, and Eleana hadn't gotten a glimpse of Ayden since the day she informed him about the things she found out from Eirene. After that, he disappeared again with Leonardo and Lucien, leaving her puzzled. The only thing he informed her was that he had a few surprises for her, which she would get on the wedding day. He just recommended that she relax and enjoy herself. Eleana was really suspicious about his behaviour. He suddenly turned oddly secretive after he rescued Lucien, and after that, he had been spending a lot of time with Leonardo. Eleana had suspicions
After successfully putting ointments on her bruise and treating her, Eleana put away the first-aid box. A long silence filled the room as Eleana looked at her sister, who was biting her lips while looking down. "Are you feeling better now?" She finally asked, breaking the silence. Eirene looked up at her before slowly nodding her head. "Do you want to talk about it?" Eleana asked gently, giving her space and time. She didn't want to force or pressure her to talk. She wanted to comfort her first so that she could talk about it on her own. At first, Eirene didn't respond. But after a minute, she reached out her hand before grabbing Eleana's hand. "Who did this to you?" Eleana asked while holding Eirene's hand. She could see her visibly shaking after hearing the question. "Eirene. I need to know who did this to you. You don't need to be scared. I'm here to protect you. Ayden's also here. No one can hurt you or us. I promise I will make them all pay. Each and every single person who da
The next day, regardless of all the chaos that had taken place previously, the whole Santoro Villa began to prepare for the upcoming wedding. The wedding was supposed to take place within the next two days. Even though there was wedding preparation going on around, the people of the villa were quite calm. Eleana couldn't feel the wedding vibe at all. Eleana was more concerned about the plan Ayden was working on. He didn't tell her everything in detail. Just some vague answers left her confused. However, Ayden had requested that she trust him and sit back. He didn't want to drag her into the plan and stress her out because of her pregnancy. She's already in a crucial state.Even though Eleana wanted to engage herself, she had no choice but to obey him this time. She had already neglected her baby, and it almost harmed her. She couldn't let this happen again. She couldn't help but sigh as she walked through the corridor to go downstairs to find Eirene. The plan Ayden was working on alon
After storming out of Antonio's office, Eleana directly made her way toward her bedroom. She was shaking because of anger. How could he just say something like this? Eleana wanted to leave this house as soon as possible. She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself, but none of it worked."Eleana." She heard Ayden's voice calling her, which made her turn around instantly. Ayden heaved a sigh after seeing her state."Are you okay?" Ayden asked in a soft voice while walking towards her. Eleana looked at him before inhaling and exhaling deeply."How could he just demand something like that? How could he?" Eleana sounded bitter and emotional as she let out the question. Ayden reached her and then pulled her into a hug, making her wrap her arms around him slowly."It's alright. Please don't cry because of this." He pleaded while rubbing her back soothingly. Eleana let her tears flow while closing her eyes."I just can't help it, Ayden. I feel so disappointed and angry." Eleana mumbled i
Eleana's eyes slowly travelled towards Lucien, who stood behind Ayden while looking lost in his thoughts. Eleana's eyes went wide in shock when she realized she had almost forgotten about his presence. He had a white bandage covering his forehead and arms."Lucien!" Eleana called out his name, grabbing his attention. She slowly separated herself from Ayden before rushing towards him. Lucien looked at her before passing her a weak smile. His whole body was covered with bruises here and there. Eleana's heart sank deeper as she noticed his state."How did this happen?" She cried out while rushing into his arms. Lucien carefully hugged her while wincing in pain when she accidentally brushed his injured arm."I'm so sorry, Lucien." Eleana cried while hugging him. Lucien chuckled before separating her from him."It's alright, Belle. I'm fine." He replied with a wide smile while trying to show her how strong he was. It only made Eleana's heart hurt more."You need to sit first. Come with me.
