Ayden looked at her mother, who cooled down a bit after hearing the nurse's words. He had no choice but to tell her the truth right now, or else she would end up finding out herself, which would definitely worsen the situation. Ayden took a long sigh before turning towards the nurse."Thank you. I will sign the papers now." He replied gently, making the nurse nod. Meanwhile, Kathleen sat there quietly while her eyes travelled towards the door of Eleana's cabin. Ayden, on the other hand, took out a pen before signing the papers. He then handed the papers back to the nurse."You can take her home when she wakes up." The nurse said this with a small smile while checking her watch."She should be waking up anytime, and yes, please remember to follow the doctor's advice. Don't let her be stressed out." The nurse added before finally walking away after Ayden nodded at her words."What happened? Why did she faint suddenly? She was fine in the morning." Kathleen wondered while asking Ayden th
Ayden and Eleana, along with Kathleen, walked toward where Lucien, Rylan, and Ethan were standing. Ethan passed them a polite smile, while Lucien smiled mainly towards Kathleen while seemingly ignoring Eleana and Ayden. Ayden, on the other hand, looked at Rylan, who simply sighed."Mrs. Campbell, how are you? I haven't seen you for a while." Ethan was the first one to greet them, and Kathleen smiled at him warmly before answering back. "I'm fine, dear. How are you? I haven't seen you either. When did you return?" Kathleen asked with a kind smile on her face. She glanced over at Lucien who was looking at Eleana and Ayden. Kathleen's face hardened but she masked it before anyone could notice."Just yesterday, how was Mr. Campbell?" Ethan inquired while his eyes were causally traveling toward Ayden and Eleana. Ayden was holding Eleana by her waist while she leaned onto him. She was already feeling devasted because of Savannah and didn't want to face Lucien in this state. She just praye
Eleana touched the glass window with her fingers while standing quietly before it. Her gaze swept over Savannah's figure lying on the bed through the window. Eleana's heart made a painful twist, and tears began to fall out of her eyes when she noticed the painful bandages wrapped around Savannah's head."Savvy, I'm so sorry!" Eleana let out a sob while resting her forehead on the window. She felt a hand touch her shoulder, making her slowly turn around and glance at the person. It was Rylan. He gave her a tight smile when their eyes met before pulling her into a warm and gentle hug. Eleana burst into tears while holding Rylan. Rylan couldn't help but sigh at her condition. He gently rubbed her back to comfort her."Shhh! Elea, don't cry. She will be alright in a few days." Rylan softly mumbled while his eyes were fixed on Savannah's body, which was still lying unconscious in the ICU. In the span of a few hours, everything changed drastically. He was excited to see her in the evening w
Eleana packed the homemade lunch box with a satisfied smile on her face before grabbing her handbag. She quietly walked out of the kitchen after thanking the helper."Mom, I'm going to the hospital to see Savvy; I will be back before evening." Eleana walked towards Kathleen, who was sitting in the living room while talking over the phone. When she heard Eleana, she quickly put the phone away before smiling at her."Okay, don't drive; instead, take Carl with you and say hi to Savvy for me," Kathleen replied with a smile. Eleana quickly leaned over her before kissing her cheek."Alright, eat your lunch on time and take your medicine. I love you." Eleana reminded her gently, making Kathleen chuckle."I love you too, darling. Be safe." She replied, kissing her on the cheek. With a last grin towards Kathleen, Eleana walked out of the Campbell mansion. She quickly checked her phone to see the time and also checked if she had received any texts or calls from Ayden yet or not. But unfortunate
Eleana finished feeding Savannah while randomly chatting with her. She couldn't help but laugh when Savannah proposed to marry her child with Eleana's."I'm serious, Elea; we have to be in-laws." Savannah pouted while staring at Eleana, who was keeping away the empty lunch boxes."Then you can't be my baby's godmother. Are you willing to do that?" Eleana asked with a playful smirk. Savannah's face instantly fell as a frown took over her face."Wait, I didn't think about it." She sighed in disappointment after she realised it. Of course, if she wanted to be Eleana's baby's in-law, then she couldn't be his or her mother-in-law."Okay, I will be your firstborn's godmother and then the secondborn's mother-in-law. How does that sound? Perfect right?" Savannah suggested it with a silly grin on her face after she thought for a while. Eleana burst into laughter after hearing her silly proposals."Stop it, Savvy. You are single; you don't even have a boyfriend, and now you are planning the mar
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
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.
