Eleana and Ayden left Savannah's cabin after Savannah bid them bye. The intention was to give them the privacy they needed after Rylan's sudden confession. Besides, Ayden just returned from his trip; he was tired, so they decided to head home and rest.

As they walked through the corridor while holding hands, Eleana glanced in Ayden's direction.

"Why didn't you inform me that you were coming back today? I thought it would take a few more days." Eleana asked while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Ayden turned to look at her before smiling a little.

"I wanted to surprise you," Ayden replied softly while giving her hand a small squeeze. Eleana raised her eyebrows at him before nodding.

"But I'm still angry at you. How could you leave me for so many days and barely contact me? Do you know how worried I was? I could barely eat and barely sleep at night because of you." Eleana narrowed her eyes at him while snatching her hand back. She pressed her lips together before looking away. A

    Eleana and Ayden sat face-to-face on the sofa after they were done with their lunch. Eleana took a long, deep breath while waiting for Ayden to continue."Did you ask Savannah about what she was going to show us before the accident?" Ayden asked after a moment of silence. Eleana shook her head."No. I didn't want to dig up the matter until she completely recovered. I didn't want to pressure her to think about the matter." Eleana replied with a sigh. Ayden nodded at her while leaning on his seat."Rylan talked to her about the matter," Ayden informed her slowly, making Eleana look at him in surprise."He did?" She asked, making him nod."Yeah. She told him everything." Ayden added while leaning forward and then taking a few strands of Eleana's hair in his hand and playing with them."So what did she tell him? What happened? Do you have any clue about who attacked Savvy?" Eleana kept asking them one by one. She looked impatient as she waited for him to tell her. Ayden sighed. "Savannah

    Eleana unconsciously hid her hands behind her back while her heart kept racing wildly against her chest out of fear. She was terrified of what was coming next."I don't know what you are talking about." She looked away while trying to think of a possible lie that Ayden would believe if she said it. But her mind was blank. The hesitation and uncertainty were completely visible on her face."Don't lie to me, Eleana. You know it's not going to work. You wanted us to be honest with each other, right? Then tell me the truth." Ayden spoke each word with utter seriousness and then pressed his lips together when he finished speaking. Eleana turned around to face him. She felt a hard lump form in her throat, making it hard for her to swallow."Did Lucien tell you this?" Eleana asked, pressing her lips together. Her eyes were filled with sudden fury directed towards Lucien. He really crossed the line if he told Ayden that."He didn't tell me about the surgery. He told me about something else. I

    Ayden remained numbed after hearing Eleana's answer. He didn't know what to say or how to react after hearing her. He just stared at her with a pair of cold, gloomy grey eyes. After a few moments of silence, Eleana couldn't take it anymore, so she forced herself to look up and face him. Her heart squeezed tightly inside her chest when she found him staring at her blankly."Ayden!" She called out between her tears. Her voice had turned hoarse due to her sobbing a few moments ago. Ayden didn't respond to her after she called him, making her worried."Ayden, say something," Eleana begged when he remained silent. She reached out her hands before grabbing one of his hands. Finally, it made Ayden snap out of his shock. He looked at her before pulling her into his chest and then hugging her tightly. His hug almost crushed Eleana. She was taken aback by his sudden movement and was unable to make any move due to her shock. She slowly wrapped her arms around him when she felt him slowly bury hi

    The next day, Eleana and Ayden left for Toronto early in the morning. Their trip was a discreet matter, which is why they didn't inform anyone, including their parents. Ayden just informed his parents that he was taking Eleana to a resort nearby to have a day off and relax, which his parents seemed to believe because of all the ongoing things.Eleana asked him about moving back to their penthouse, but Ayden didn't want to at this moment because of Eleana's pregnancy. He didn't want her to live alone in the penthouse. Eleana understood his concern, so she didn't push it further.They landed in Toronto around 3 p.m. in the afternoon. Eleana was exhausted by the time they got into their car. Ayden looked at her exhausted form before sighing."Are you tired?" He asked while wrapping his arms around her and helping her rest her head on his shoulder. Eleana nodded faintly before getting comfortable in his arms."I told you not to come, but you won't listen to me." He sighed disapprovingly w

    "What do you want from us?" John's voice, along with his gaze, turned surprisingly hostile towards Eleana and Ayden. They both noticed the sudden change in John's aura. Kate glanced at her husband worriedly, which he ignored. Eleana cleared her throat slightly before speaking."Excuse me, Mr. Lewis. Have we met before? You seem really familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen you." Eleana asked without being able to hold back her curiosity. John seemed surprised after hearing her words. He shook his head slightly before answering her."I don't think so, Mrs. Campbell. It's my first time meeting you." He answered, looking a little confused. Eleanor nodded and didn't push the matter further. Ayden and Kate glanced at them with frowns but didn't bother to say anything. Eleana took a deep breath before speaking again."I want to know what happened to Linda." Eleana spoke directly without beating around the bush. John's expression hardened after hearing her words, while Linda just l

    Eleana reached the living room as fast as she could while breathing heavily. Her heart felt like it was going to burst at any moment. When she finally reached the living room while panting, Ayden, who was talking to Kate and her husband, looked in her direction. His eyebrows creased, and a visible frown took over his face."Ayden!" Eleana squared while walking towards him. Ayden quickly got up and walked towards her, while Kate and John looked in her direction."What happened? Are you alright?" Ayden questioned her in concern as soon as he reached her. Eleana somehow managed not to while clutching the photo frame in her hands. Kate and John also got up, seeing her so pale. Eleana glanced at them and quickly masked her panicked expression before smiling."I'm fine. I was just a little lost coming here." Eleana nodded and quickly came up with an excuse to cover up. She didn't want John and Kate to be suspicious. Kate nodded and took a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Ayden, who didn't buy her

    Ayden and Eleana reached the hotel where they would be staying the night before catching their flight the next morning and returning back to Vancouver.Ayden didn't tell her anything further about what he was going to tell her just a while ago, saying they would talk in private. Eleana had no choice but to swallow her anxiety and displeasure. But deep down, she was getting anxious about what he was going to tell her. She had a gut feeling that something bad was going to happen."Let's go," Ayden called to her while holding her hand. It snapped Eleana out of her thoughts. She looked up at him before nodding. They just checked into the hotel and grabbed the room keys for them and Joseph."When is our flight tomorrow?" Eleana asked as she followed Ayden along with Joseph and the hotel manager, who personally came to greet Ayden. It was one of Campbell's five-star hotels. It was safest for them to stay the night here."9 in the morning. I have to be in the office tomorrow." Ayden replied

    Eleana began to slowly take a few steps back while her expression revealed utter shock. She was unable to react or speak further. Ayden noticed she was shaken by the news, so she quickly walked over to her. "Be careful," Ayden shouted while holding her back and preventing her from getting hurt by the corner of the table. But Eleana couldn't care less about it, which made Ayden press his lips together. "Sit down here. You were almost going to hurt yourself." Ayden sighed while guiding her to sit on the bed. Eleana quietly sat down while staring blankly ahead of her. Her head wasn't working properly. "Eleana, look at me," Ayden called her before making her turn around and face him. He had already bent down on his knees in front of her, cupping her face with both hands. Eleana was forced to look him in the eyes, but that didn't push her to speak at all. She stayed quiet while lost in her thoughts. "Princess, I know it's too shocking and hard to believe for you. But you have to be stro

    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.
