After Ayden and Eleana returned from the cherry blossom park, it was already dinner time. Ayden told her to rest as he would make dinner for them. Eleana was in a good mood and decided not to fight against him. She went to the washroom and got freshened up. As she was putting on some moisture, her phone started to ring. Eleana grabbed the phone before checking the caller ID. She was surprised to find it was Levi, her cousin from her mother's side. She considered him as her own brother and when she decided to move to Paris a year ago, he was the person she first called. He's also the person who took care of her when she was at her most vulnerable period. Levi was a model by profession, he moved to Paris a few years ago to pursue his career there. He was the one who introduced Lucien to her as he was his very good friend. With a smile, Eleana picked up the call.

"Hey bro," She greeted him warmly.

"Hey, baby sis. I'm coming back." He greeted back while giving her the news of him coming

    Ayden stayed with Eleana in her apartment for two days. As promised he really stayed there to take care of her, he cooked her food, cleaned the house, and did the dishes except for the laundry as Eleana stopped him from doing it. He attended his office from her home and thankfully didn't cross any line. But staying five long days with him had a different effect on Eleana. She felt her walls crumbling down after each moment she spent with Ayden. She didn't know how long she could hold on before she again collapsed. She felt empty after he left and started to miss his presence around her. Eleana went back to the office on the same day Ayden left her apartment. He was the one who drove her to the office. Eleana was surprised when she saw a familiar figure enter Ayden's office. How could she not recognise her? The famous Isabelle Atkins, one of Ayden's close friends. Eleana didn't have any good relationship with her because she always considered Isabelle as a love rival. She knew Isabell

    It was Philip Campbell's birthday. Eleana decided to visit the Campbell mansion early to spend the weekend with Philip and Kathleen. As Eleana rang the doorbell, she waited for someone to open the door. Frederick opened the door and his eyes lit up seeing Eleana standing in front of him. "Young miss, how are you?" Frederick asked in a warm voice as he took her bag from her hand. Eleana smiled at him before giving him a small warm hug."I'm good. How are you, Uncle Freddie? Are you taking your medicine properly?" Eleana inquired as they made their way inside. "I'm also fine. Don't worry, I take them regularly." Frederick answered honestly. "How are Molly and Annie? Annie is starting college this year, right?" Eleana asked, referring to Fredrick's wife and daughter. His daughter was a few years younger than her. She liked the soft and shy girl who came to help his parents frequently."They are both doing fine. And yes she's starting college. I can't believe she's grown up so much al

    Eleana changed into the Rose gold designer dress for today's evening. She did her makeup elegantly without any rush. She finished her look with a small diamond pendant and a diamond bracelet. Satisfied with how she looked, Eleana headed downstairs. Their big spacious living room was filled with many people. Eleana smiled while getting down the stairs, her eyes landing on some familiar faces. "Hey," Eleana greeted sweetly as she came face to face with Lucien who was standing in a corner while drinking some orange juice. Lucien smiled back before pulling her into a warm hug "Hey, you look beautiful!" He complimented after breaking the hug. Eleana laughed as she kissed his cheek."You always say that." She replied while smiling."That's because you always look beautiful." Lucien shrugged, making Eleana shake her head. "Make yourself comfortable. I need to check on a few guests. I will be back soon." Eleana said apologetically before excusing herself. Lucien nodded in understanding."E

    After the dinner was over peacefully, everyone again gathered in the living room for chit-chat. Eleana stood by Philip's side as he wrapped his arms around her beloved daughter while talking to Helen Morin, his deceased sister's sister-in-law. Beside her was her husband Gabriel Morin. Slowly, Lincoln and Maria also joined them with a smile. From the corner of her eyes, Eleana noticed Natasha pulling Ayden with her towards where they were standing. Eleana's happy mood started to drop as her least favourite people started to gather in front of her. She looked around for a possible escape but there was none. Lucien already left as he had some emergency while Savannah was nowhere in sight. Eleana mentally let out a groan. "I sometimes feel you love Eleana more than Ayden." Helen chuckled as she looked at how Philip treated Eleana. Philip also laughed as he pulled Eleana closer before kissing her head. "Awww!" Kathleen was awed as she stared at the exchange between her husband and her

    Eleana and Athena made their way through the crowds, making their way directly towards the bar. The bar wasn't overly crowded. It was a VIP bar which was why the entrance pass was limited. "Where is she?" Athena asked as she looked around for Savannah, Eleana was also looking for the blonde-haired woman who by now was wasted. "She should be somewhere near. Let's check the bartender." Eleana said while pulling Athena with her. The bar was decorated nicely with a vintage outlook. It was mainly used for drinking. There was light music going on in the background while people sat quietly, drinking their liquor. Fortunately, they spotted Savannah in a corner. She looked drunk enough yet she was pouring more drinks into her glass."There she is. She's completely wasted." Eleana said with a sigh before making her way towards Savannah's table. Athena followed her. "Savvy!" Eleana called out, making Savannah turn around and look at her."Elea! You found me" Savannah called her with a grin. E

    Ayden, Roman and Rylan made their way inside the exclusive bar with similar grim expressions on their faces. The three of them looked around for the three damn women who were the reason behind their grim expressions. "Are you sure they are here?" Rylan again asked while looking at Ayden. His brows creased as he stared at him."Yes, just look closely. They should be here somewhere unless they left before we made it." Ayden replied with a sigh. His eyes searched for the short-haired brunette woman. "I don't remember Athena and Eleana meeting before tonight. How did they get acquainted?" Roman asked as he made his way through the empty space of tables. "I don't know. They probably met through Emilia." Ayden replied after a moment of pause. "Savannah is becoming more reckless day by day. She's always been the troublemaker." Rylar sighed through his clenched teeth as his eyes searched for the blond woman. "Shut up, Rylan." Ayden scolded him, making him roll his eyes at him."I think I

    "Where are you taking me? Put me down you Davil." Eleana cursed while trying to get away from Ayden's arms. She had her arms wrapped around his neck as he had her in his arms in bridal style. Eleana's shout attracted a lot of unwanted attention. People were literally looking at them while laughing. Eleana felt embarrassed. Roman and Rylan already left with Athena and Savannah. She was the last person facing humiliation. "You brute! You are embarrassing me. Put me down." Eleana cried out in frustration as Ayden carried her out of the bar with a few long strides. "You should have thought about that before you decided to get wasted." Ayden scolded her while moving towards his car. Eleana instantly got furious at him. She started beating Ayden's chest with her fist. "You are the one who is wasted. You caveman!" She cursed him while hitting him repeatedly. Ayden didn't show any sign of pain. He had his lips in a thin line. His jaw was clenched as he tried to control his anger. "Stop b

    The next two days went in a blur. Eleana joined back to the office next Monday and got busy with the company's 100th-year Celebration. The Campbell Corporation was founded by Philip Campbell's Grandfather and currently was being inherited by Ayden Campbell. As the company turned 100 years old, they decided to arrange a grand celebration for it. Eleana was in charge of managing the event beside Ayden so the next few days were going to be hectic for her. When Eleana woke up the next morning after the conversation with Ayden, she remembered everything. Eleana was ashamed of her drunken deed. Which was why she decided to Avoid colliding with Ayden as much as possible. As promised they spend the weekend in the Campbell mansion with Philip and Kathleen before returning to their own apartment. Eleana was surprised when she noticed Ayden keeping some distance from her. She felt something was unusual with him. She didn't know if her drunken conversation was the reason behind it or not. Elea

    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.
