The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Realisation
After running out of the cafe Eleana started to walk aimlessly on the street. She didn't know where she was going. Her mind was in chaos while her hurt was hurting. She felt like she couldn't breathe at all. All the revelation was too shocking for her. Most importantly she didn't know Ayden was going through so much. All she ever thought was about her own feelings, not his. Eleana felt she couldn't breathe and couldn't think properly. She needed to think clearly about everything and the people and noise around her weren't going to let that happen. Eleana stopped a taxi before getting in. She couldn't stop her tears as she got in."Where to miss?" The taxi driver asked while looking at her through the rearview mirror. "To the beach." Eleana's voice came out as breathless, making the taxi driver turn around and look at her in concern. "Are you okay, miss? Do you need any help?" The kind taxi driver asked in a concerned voice. Eleana shook her head while getting a grip on herself. "I

It was past 10 in the evening, and Savannah was pacing in the living room of her apartment. She tried to call Eleana again, but like the previous time, the call went directly to voicemail. Savannah threw away the phone in frustration. She cursed Rylan mentally. She shouldn't have listened to him at all. She shouldn't have let her go alone. Savannah didn't know what to do or whom to reach out to. After thinking for a while, she decided to head out and search for Eleana. Just as she was about to grab her phone from the sofa again, she heard the front door make a click sound before opening. Savannah's eyes went wide in shock, and then a sigh of relief escaped her lips when she noticed Eleana walking in. Safe and sound—physically at least. But she could also make a guess about her mental state."Thank God! You are here. I was going to die of worry because of you. Why didn't you pick up any of my calls? Where is your phone? Do you know how worried I was?" Savannah began to scold her as soo
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! You Always Make Me Cry
Eleana ultimately resolved to return to work the next day and face everything. She hadn't seen or heard anything from Ayden in four days. He absolutely abandoned her after telling her that they couldn't be together. Eleana was tempted to contact him, but she held back. She missed him tremendously, but there were some matters that needed to be addressed first. Eleana was looking over some designs when her phone started ringing. She tucked the sketches away before grabbing her phone. Savannah was the name. Eleana clicked the answer button before switching to speaker mode. "Hey." Eleana greeted me after setting the phone down and grabbing for the sketches again. Her gaze was fixed on them. "Where are you?" Savannah inquired, her voice stiff, which caused Eleana to scowl. She looked down at her phone. "I'm at work. Why?" Eleana responded before enquiring. She leaned back in her chair, scratching her brow with the pen in her hand. She disliked all of the sketches. They were either t

Philip Campbell was studying records at his workstation at the Campbell Corporation. After handing over the company to Ayden, he didn't come to the office very often. Probably twice or three times every week. He was deep in thought when he heard a knock on the door. Philip looked at his wristwatch to see what time it was. He had already assumed who was behind the closed door. He reacted with a clear come-in after straightening his back and placing the papers down. Some people entered the cabin once the door was shoved open. Meanwhile, Philip rose from his seat and walked over to the individual, a kind smile on his face. "Oh, Lucien!" "I was expecting you." Philip approached Lucien first, standing a few inches ahead of him. Lucien returned Philip's polite grin. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long, Mr. Campbell." Lucien apologised as he extended his hand for a handshake. Philip smiled as he shook Lucien's hand."No. Before you arrived, I was actually editing some paperwork
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
The Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Helpless
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! Her Dream
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 Cold Hearted CEO Wants Me Back! Who Hurt You?
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

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.
