"Do you realise you just made me the happiest man on earth?" Ayden asked while breaking the kiss. Their foreheads rested on each other while they just smiled at each other like fools madly in love. Eleana nodded her head. "I'm sorry; I lied to you before about not knowing the baby's gender. I wanted to surprise you." Eleana apologised when she remembered how she had lied to him previously. She still felt a little bit guilty about it. Ayden shook his head. He distanced himself a little from her before removing a few strands of messy hair from her face. "I'm glad you did. This couldn't be more perfect. I got the best surprise of my life." He replied while leaning forward and kissing her forehead softly. Eleana could feel herself melting right away as a sigh escaped her lips. "I love you, Ayden. More than anything and anyone in this world." Eleana confessed while wrapping her arms around his neck. Ayden also wrapped his arms around her waist before smiling at her. "I love you too, Pri

Sunlight peeked through the slightly ajar curtains, making Eleana cover her eyes a little and then snuggle closer to the source of warmth. Ayden stirred in his sleep after noticing a slight movement in the person next to him. He turned around without opening his eyes before wrapping his arms around Eleana's waist, pulling her slightly closer to his chest. This made Eleana open her eyes slightly. She closed her eyes again to adjust to the sudden light. After blinking a few times, she finally opened her eyes completely.Her eyes slowly travelled to the person lying next to her while his arm was wrapped protectively around her. Eleana raised her right arm to touch Ayden's hair. She ran her fingers gently through his hair while smiling at his face. He was fast asleep. His long eyelashes almost touched the skin below his eyes.Ayden slowly opened his eyes after feeling her touch. When his eyes opened completely and met hers, Eleana smiled at him."Good morning." Eleana greeted him in a hoar

Ayden rushed inside the clothing store while looking for Eleana and the shopkeeper. None of them were in sight. Ayden went straight to the trail room before pushing open the first door. It was empty."She entered this one." Savannah, who came running along with Rylan, pointed after noticing Ayden opening the door of the trial room she used. Ayden didn't wait a single moment before he pushed the other door open and directly made his way inside. It was empty, too. There was no sign of Eleana except in her previous clothes. They were scattered on the floor, along with her purse and phone."Did you find her?" Rylan asked worriedly while stepping inside. Ayden stood rooted in his place while looking down at Eleana's stuff."She's gone. Her stuff is lying here." Savannah whispered in shock while staring down at Eleana's things."What the fuck? How could she just vanish? She didn't come out. We were waiting outside; she never came out." Rylan asked, frustrated, while looking around."The sho

Eleana slowly began to open her eyes when she suddenly felt a sharp pain hit her head, making her close her eyes tightly while clutching the soft fabric underneath her body. She took a deep breath before blinking her eyes a few times to get rid of the heaviness in her eyes. She felt thirsty while her whole body was aching. She didn't know why she felt like she had been sleeping for hours.When she reopened her eyes, she slowly looked around her surroundings. It wasn't her hotel room. She was in a luxurious, unknown room with unknown surroundings. Eleana frowned while trying to get up and sit on the bed."Where the hell am I?" She muttered to herself while trying to remember what happened before she passed out. But her head hurt and came out blank when she tried to force her brain to remember."Ahh! My head hurts." Eleana flinched in pain while touching her head. After staying still in her place for a while, she finally remembered what happened. Her eyes went wide when she remembered e

"Come, let me introduce you to your family. We have all been waiting to meet you." Antonio said while gesturing to all the people sitting on the sofa casually while staring at her from time to time."You didn't introduce yourself first." Eleana pointed it out without hiding her displeasure. She couldn't say she was being too polite, but she wasn't being too impolite either. Those people kidnapped her here, so they couldn't expect her to behave gently and obediently around them."Si, Cara. My bad. I apologise for not introducing myself sooner." Antonio chuckled while shaking his head. Eleana didn't smile or respond as he waited for him to continue. She was in a room full of Mafias and probably talking to the most senior Mafia, yet she was behaving like it didn't bother her at all. Oblivion was a blessing at some point. They all probably thought that she didn't know who they were or their identities as mafias. That was probably the reason for their calm and friendly attitude. If she did

Eleana walked out of Antonio's office along with him. Antonio paused his steps before glancing at Eleana, who looked lost in her thoughts. "Don't take stress, Cara. It's not good for your baby. You can call your husband after the dinner is over." Antonio touched Eleana's head lightly, making her look up at him. "You knew about my pregnancy?" Eleana asked while pressing her lips together. Antonio laughed at her question. "Of course. Did you really think I didn't have any idea about what was going on in my firstborn granddaughter's life?" Antonio answered back with a playful smile. Eleana scoffed. "You didn't bother to look for your firstborn granddaughter all these years. Now don't act like you actually care about me. None of you did." Eleana spat with anger visible in her voice. Antonio sighed helplessly. "You don't know the situation, Cara. It was for your safety." Antonio tried to reason with her, which made Eleana let out a scoff. Of course, she wouldn't believe any of his bul

Eleana excused herself from the dinner before getting up from the table and leaving the dining area without looking back. No one stopped her or made any sound as she left."Continue with your dinner. She's just in shock and will be fine." Antonio commanded while picking up his wine glass and drinking some wine from it. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Eirene and Elio looking down and playing with their food. Of course, they were in shock too."Don't stress over it. I will explain it to you both later." Antonio sighed before speaking. They both looked up at him before nodding their heads lightly.Eleana, on the other hand, didn't know where she was going. She was sad, angry, and frustrated with the sudden turn of events. She just wished for Ayden to come here and hug her worries away. She just wanted to be back home and in his arms. As she was climbing the staircase, she found Caterina on her way. Eleana sighed as she recognised her."Hey, can you please escort me to the room I

Eleana followed the maid, whose name she got to know as Giada, through the long corridor. After taking a turn, they finally entered the backdoor of the villa, which led to the garden."They are here," Giada informed Eleana politely before taking a step back. From a distance, Eleana could see two figures sitting on the swing placed under the big tree."Thank you, Giada. You may leave now." Eleana thanked her before dismissing her. The maid nodded before excusing herself. Eleana stared at their backs from a distance before exhaling deeply. The whole night, she kept thinking about how to approach her siblings and talk to them. She kept wondering if they were as anxious as her after finding the truth. Eleana looked up only to find the sky looking gloomy. There was no sign of sunlight.With a beating heart, Eleana made her way towards them. She didn't join others during breakfast because she needed time to think and rearrange herself. Finally, she got enough courage to face her siblings."

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

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.
