The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! A Sudden Misfortune
Eleana was currently working in the fashion house, giving layout instructions to her designers. After her encounter with Ayden, she left him there with a heavy heart. She couldn't persuade him to change his mind, no matter how hard she tried. Besides, his refusal was causing her additional pain. She was left with only one option: find out the truth and expose Natasha. She could only pray that Neville and Roman would find anything before it was too late. They barely have one month to work with. "Change the colour to something lighter and warmer. Remove the pearls from here; they look a little out of place." Eleana stated as she handed back the fabric outfit. When Eleana's phone rang, the designer nodded in agreement. "Excuse me, Sophie." Eleana excused herself before answering the phone. It was her helper, Noel. Eleana put the phone to her ear and hit the answer button. "Yes, Noel," Eleana said, holding the phone between her ears and shoulder and inspecting the fabric in front of he

Eleana stared down at Philip's pale body on the hospital bed. Her heart tightened as she saw her beloved uncle lie unmoving. Eleana immediately wiped her tears away when she heard footsteps. She hurriedly whirled back, only to come face to face with Ayden. He appeared weary. There were bags beneath his eyes, indicating that he had not slept in the previous 36 hours. Ayden's eyes met her halfway and he gave her a faint forced smile. Eleana nodded at him before taking a few steps back and allowing him to take a few steps forward to see his father. He stood in front of the window, staring at his father. Eleana sighed and sat in the lounge chair. She gazed at Ayden's tall figure leaning against the glass pane while looking at his father, who was unconscious in the bed. He was still sedated. He regained consciousness once in the middle of the night, but the medics did not disturb Eleana or Ayden since they assumed they were sleeping. Furthermore, no one was allowed inside for 48 hours. "Y

Philip was ultimately moved to the general ward the night before after 48 hours. Kathleen was the one that was present with Philip at the time, while Eleana and Ayden sat in the waiting area. Eleana cast a glimpse over her shoulder towards Ayden, who had just gotten up from his seat after receiving a phone call. After the incident in her kitchen, She and Ayden enjoyed a quiet meal before heading back to the hospital. Eleana eagerly awaited Kathleen's return because she wanted to hear how Philip was doing. Even though the doctor assured them that he was safe, Eleana couldn't rest until she saw him for herself. Kathleen emerged from Philip's cabin after a short while. Eleana rose from her seat and approached her. She frowned, though, when she spotted Kathleen's glum expression. "What happened, Aunt? "What's the deal with your upset expression?" Eleana inquired while softly stroking Kathleen's arm. Kathleen shook her head and looked up at her. "It's nothing at all, Darling," Kathleen

Eleana softly entered Philp's cabin before strolling over to his bed. Philip, who had already spotted her presence, gave her a weak smile. Eleana bowed her head softly before kissing Philip on the forehead. She proceeded to run her fingers through his hair. Philip gave her a big smile."How are you feeling, Uncle?" Eleana inquired as she sat on the chair next to his bed."I already feel better now that I've seen you." Eleana shook her head as Philip murmured softly."You scared us big this time." Eleana's voice sounded raspy as she struggled to keep her tears from falling. Philip let out a sigh."Don't be worried, darling. "I'm all right now." Philip tried to reassure her, and she nodded."Are you feeling uneasy somewhere?" Do you want me to contact the doctor?" Eleana became concerned when she noticed Philip suddenly becoming silent."No. Don't worry about me; I'm alright. Just sit next to me for a bit. "I'd like to speak with you." Eleana frowned with anxiety as Philip's voice becam
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Unexpected Surprise
Four days passed after the incident, which took place in the hospital. Even though both Eleana and Ayden visited the hospital frequently to take care of Philip, they purposely avoided each other's presence. Eleana still couldn't get over the shock. She also didn't have the guts to talk to Lucien, as she didn't know how to break the news to him. She thought to talk with him after Philip was discharged from the hospital. She needed to deal with the matter calmly.For the past few days, Eleana has been feeling sick because of the continuous stress. She even fainted yesterday evening, but thankfully Savannah was with her. Savannah then forced her to visit the doctor with her. Even though Eleana didn't want to, she had no choice but to comply with Savannah's wish; otherwise, she wouldn't stop nagging.Eleana felt a hand on her shoulder, making her turn around. She smiled faintly when she noticed who it was."Lucien, when did you arrive?" Eleana asked while getting up from her seat to give
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! You Will Never Have Him
Eleana walked out of the doctor's cabin and then began to walk through the corridor aimlessly. Her face was void of any emotion. She was looking completely blank. Eleana still couldn't believe what the doctor told her just a while ago. She was pregnant. She was going to be a mother and Ayden was the father of her child. Eleana didn't understand what to do or whom to speak to about this. She didn't know how she was going to tell Ayden and how he was going to react. She was already two and a half months pregnant which meant she became pregnant after Ayden and she slept together on the night she was drugged. Eleana didn't even realise she wasn't having her period regularly. Her mind was always so occupied that she didn't even realise. "Ouch! I'm Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." Eleana let out a yelp and then apologised when she suddenly clashed with someone while walking. When Eleana raised her eyes to look at the person, her eyes turned cold. It was Natasha. She smiled provoc
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Marry Him
Philip was finally released from the hospital the next Tuesday and as expected the next Sunday was picked for Ayden and Natasha's engagement along with Eleana and Lucien's. Everyone was shocked hearing the news. Due to Philip's health condition, they decided not to throw a lavish party. They decided to invite only close friends and family to the engagement party. Natasha was dissatisfied with the decision but she had no choice but to swallow her dissatisfaction when Lincoln ordered her to obey. Ayden on the other hand didn't speak regarding the matter of Eleana and Lucien's engagement at all. He kept silent and maintained his distance from everything. He had been completely ignoring Eleana's presence after his talk with his father in the hospital. Meanwhile, Eleana was a complete mess. After the day she got to know she was pregnant and her confrontation with Natasha she had been feeling paranoid. Everything was getting out of hand and she could do nothing about it. Everything was fix

The next morning when Eleana opened her eyes, she left Savannah's house with a note before she woke up. Eleana drove directly to her apartment. It was around 7 am, so there weren't many people around. She had already made up her mind and it was only a matter of time before she executed it. After reaching her apartment Eleana directly walked into the shower before taking a relaxing shower. She got out and changed into a pair of comfortable clothing. She then walked over to her bed and sat down before turning on her phone which she turned off since yesterday. Eleana checked all the missed calls and texts. There were many calls and texts from Lucien, Kathleen, Philip and Ayden. She was surprised to see Ayden's call and then two texts.Where are you?Mom and Dad are getting worried, call them back asap.Eleana stared at the texts for a while. The more she started the firmer her decision became. She answered all the texts one by one and told Kathleen and Philip that she was fine and would

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
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Baby
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
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Urgent Family Meeting
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
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Explanation
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
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Go Back
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.
