Eleana took a quick look around before taking a step towards Ayden and grabbing his arm. She pushed open the door to an empty room before closing it behind them. Ayden, on the other hand, did not object and allowed her to do everything she wanted. Eleana finally turned around to face Ayden, who was waiting for her a few steps away.

"What has changed? Why are you telling me this now? She lowered her arms on both sides before asking him. As he glanced at her, Ayden's mouth formed a harsh line.

"Lucien called me an hour ago. He's also here. He couldn't contact us since Lincoln became suspicious of him. His phone was confiscated by his men." Ayden explained, his gaze narrowed. Eleana blinked a few times as she processed Ayden's responses.

"What the hell! How did he get suspicious? I thought we did everything correctly. Eleana inquired, making Ayden sigh.

"I assume because Lucien was here with us for a time. It bothered Lincoln. Lucien was able to notify me using someone else's phone. He t

    Ayden took Eleana's hands in his before squeezing them lightly to warn her. Eleana diverted her eyes from the people in front of her before glancing at Ayden. His eyes were fixed on her as he slightly shook his head, telling her to compose herself. Eleana took a deep breath to calm herself before nodding her head.They both walked towards an empty table before sitting down. Ayden helped her sit down by pulling a chair for her, making her smile a little at him. He then sat next to her."I have been looking for you. Someone said that, making Eleana look at them. It was Elio. He smiled at her before taking the seat next to her."Hi, Ayden." Elio greeted Ayden when their eyes met. Ayden smiled at him before greeting him back."Hi, Champ. How have you been? He asked while pointing his hand towards Elio for a shake. Elio reached out his hand before shaking it gently with Ayden's."Pretty good. I heard you returned in the morning but didn't see you around. " Elio responded while leaning back

    After the engagement party ended, Eleana waited for Antonio to be free. Ayden had left secretly to take care of her mother while she stayed in her room. No one has noticed Ayden's absence so far.Meanwhile, the more Eleana thought about her confrontation with Alessio Ricci, the angrier she got. She felt like they were all playing with her while trapping her in some web of games she wasn't aware of. It worried and frustrated her at the same time. At the moment, she felt like she didn't know any of them yet. She was missing some important points. From her mother suddenly returning to Sicily to getting attacked and then her father being kidnapped. Everything looked like life. They were well planned. There was something really big going on around her that she could not understand. The more Eleana thought about it, the more her heart became cold.She tossed around on her bed, unable to sleep. Frustrated, Eleana removed the blanket from her body before getting off the bed. Eleana grabbed he

    The indifferent mask on Antonio's face dropped as he looked at Eleana with a hard look on his face. His eyes were piercing through her as he tried to read past the emotion she was showing on her face. He looked like he didn't believe her. Eleana let out a smile as she stepped back from him. Of course, it's not something that he could believe so easily because it hits directly at his capability and intelligence."You do not believe me, do you? Eleanor asked while turning around and showing her back to him. He didn't answer her and only kept staring at her back. While Eleana walked towards the family photo that was hanging on the wall. She stared at the photos with a small smile on the corner of her lips."Your first mistake was thinking that I wouldn't know anything about my mother before coming here. Eleana taunted with her back showing towards Antonio. She gently touched the photo of her mother just being a teen. She looked happy and carefree in the photo as he hugged her two brother

    Eleana pondered over Antonio's proposal for a moment before giving in. She looked at him before nodding slightly. Antonio smiled in satisfaction after hearing her answer."But before that, I need you to promise me something. Eleana cleared her throat before speaking. Antonio paused for a moment before nodding his head."Alright." He responded with a firm nod. Eleana wet her lips with her tongue a little while Antonio waited for her to continue."You can't hide or play any games with me. Eleana told him firmly while looking him straight in the eye. Antonio's lips curled up before he nodded."I'm a man of principles, Eleana. He replied, making Eleana slightly roll her eyes. She grasped her fingers together before focusing her attention back on him with a serious expression on her face."My first question is, is Uncle Leo your biological son? Eleana asked while leaning back in her chair. Antonio's smile completely dropped as he stared at her in shock. Eleana couldn't help but chuckle whe

    When Eleana returned from Antonio's study back to her room, she was surprised to discover Ayden wasn't there. She frowned as she called his name, hoping he was in the washroom. But to her dismay, the restroom was empty when she pushed the door open."Where did he go?" Eleana muttered to herself before grabbing her phone and checking the time. It was already around 12.30 a.m. Eleana sighed after realising it was almost midnight. She didn't realise she had been in Antonio's study for more than an hour.Eleana turned around while quickly walking towards her bed. After sitting down on the edges of the bed, Eleana decided to dial Ayden's number. When she unlocked her phone, she noticed she had already received two texts from him about an hour ago. Eleana frowned while rubbing her aching temple with her fingers. She left her phone in the room when she went to meet Antonio. She remembered her talk with Antonio, which made her feel sour. Eleana quickly shook her head to push aside those thoug

    Eleana hurriedly made her way inside the tall building of the Santoro Group before rushing towards the elevator. She didn't even bother to glance around her as she got into the elevator before pressing the 17th button. She waited while anxiously tapping her feet on the floor. Her insides were filled with worry and negative thoughts. At the moment, she only had one wish: to see Ayden safe and sound in front of her.Soon the elevator reached its destination, and the door opened. Eleana rushed out before walking towards Leonardo's office. She had been here two times before. She directly reached Leonardo's assistant's desk. The woman was typing something on her laptop when she heard Eleana's footsteps approaching her. She instantly got out of her seat before smiling politely at Eleana."Good morning, Ms. Davis. Mr. Santoro is Eleana didn't let her finish before cutting her midway."Ask him to come to his office immediately. It's urgent." Eleana ordered while still dialling Ayden's number

    Leonardo looked at Eleana while putting his phone down. He raised her eyes at her, gesturing to her to continue. Eleana, on the other hand, took a deep breath before she finally told him what she knew about Luca."What is it, Eleana? Leonardo asked while taking a step towards her. Eleana bit her lips slightly due to her anxiety while looking at him. She was about to speak when the door of Leonardo's cabin burst open and someone stormed inside without knocking first. The sudden intruder's appearance distracted both Eleana and Leonardo as they both glanced at the door. Antonio entered the office with a dissatisfied expression on his face. He directly roared at Leonardo."Why did you suddenly walk out of such an important meeting? You even cancelled all of today's scheduled meetings. He raised his voice directly at Leonardo while walking towards him with a pissed expression. They were about to sign an important export deal today, but Antonio got a call that the deal was postponed because

    "How did he get there? Antonio asked coldly while taking a step towards Leonardo. He stared at his father with an unpredictable gaze before his gaze swiftly crossed over to Eleana, who was also looking at them."I don't know, Father, but we have to go there as soon as possible," Leonardo replied while straightening his posture. Antonio gritted his teeth without saying anything further."Why do you two look so tense? Is there something wrong with the place? Where is it again? Eleana asked, as she could feel the anxiety crawling back inside her. She glanced between the two men as she noticed their expressions darken. She frowned when they didn't answer her."Where is Ayden? Are you guys hiding something from me? Eleana asked while stepping forward to face both Antonio and Leonardo. Leonardo sighed as she glanced at her in concern."Nothing is wrong. You should go home. Leo will take care of this. Antonio dismissed her sternly without looking her in the eye. Eleanor could instantly feel

    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.
