The Enemy

Eleana had excused herself from the crowd to go to the washroom. Ayden wanted to accompany her, but Eleana refused, saying it was a lady's washroom, so he couldn't protest. But Ayden sent Amara and Eleana. After finishing their business, Eleana and Amara left the restroom and made their way back to the party."Can I ask you a question?" Amara cleared her throat before asking Eleana. Eleana looked at her before nodding with a smile."Is it about Lucien?" Eleana asked back with a smirk. Amara's eyes went wide in shock when she heard Eleana's response."How did you know?" She asked back while biting her lips; embarrassment was clearly written all over her face, making Eleana chuckle."I am not blind, you know." Eleana couldn't help but tease the poor girl, making her face burn red after getting caught."It's not like that. It's just that I think he's Amara hesitated while looking down shyly. Eleana smiled at her cute reaction. She stopped on her track before turning to face Amara, who av

A Secret

Eleana, Ayden, and the rest of the people returned to the Santoro villa after the party was over. Everyone returned to their rooms, saying they were tired as soon as they entered the living room. Eleana noticed Antonio and Luca walking towards Antonio's study. The expressions on their faces weren't good; she could tell. It made Eleana curious to know what happened to them."Gosh! I'm so tired." Lucia groaned while stumbling on her steps. Eleana watched Emiliano help her walk up the stairs. She had a little too much drink, which made her tipsy."I will get going too. See you in the morning, Eleana. Good night." Amara also excused herself while glancing at Lucien from the corner of her eyes. His attention was already focused on her. Eleana smiled and nodded at her."Good night, Amara." Eleana greeted her back when Lucien suddenly spoke up."I have something important to do, so I will also excuse myself. Good night, Belle." He cleared his throat before speaking. Eleana wanted to roll her

News

The next morning, Eleana woke up late, which made her hurry to get ready. Ayden woke her up a few minutes ago, which made her mentally scold Ayden for not waking her up in time. After taking a quick shower, she changed into a pair of comfortable t-shirts and some ripped jeans. She didn't have time to dress up since they were already late. Everyone must be waiting for her. With that thought in mind, Eleana hurried downstairs.As expected, everyone was waiting for her, including her husband, who smiled at her. She shot him a glare before walking towards him."I apologise for being late. I woke up late." Eleana quickly apologised while taking a seat next to Ayden."It's fine. You don't need to be sorry for such a small matter. Instead, you should rest as much as possible." Sophia, being the kind-hearted woman, said while passing a bowl of porridge for Eleana."What's that?" She questioned herself while taking the bowl. Eleana's eyes went wide when she realised it was her favourite porrid

Hope

The car ride to the hospital was filled with silence. Eleana was still upset because of the incident that took place in the morning. Moreover, Lucien suddenly flew to Canada without informing her. It added fuel to her already sour mood. Ayden was sitting on her left, while Eirene was sitting on her right. Leonardo was in the driver's seat, while Elio sat in the passenger's seat. None of them spoke a single word after what happened at the dining table.The more Eleana thought about it, the more her will to take her siblings and her mother out of there grew. Ayden glanced at her, worried, before reaching out for her hand, which was placed on her lap. He grabbed her hands, making her look up at him. When their eyes met, Ayden lightly squeezed her hands while gesturing to her to relax and not worry. Eleanor stared at him for a few seconds before letting out a defeated sigh. She nodded and intertwined their hands. It made Ayden smile.After around an hour, they finally reached the hospital

Her Wish

After Eleana and the rest of the people returned to the Villa, Eleana called the elders of the house in the living room, especially Antonio.At the moment, everyone was already present in the living room except Antonio. He was still in his study, which was why everyone was patiently waiting for him to arrive. Eleana and Ayden were sitting beside each other, while Leonardo and Sophia sat across from them. Luca and Giulia were also beside them. Guilia was a little impatient among everyone as she kept glancing at the direction from which Antonio was supposed to come."What's the matter? Why isn't Father showing up yet?" Guilia questioned no one in particular. Eleana glanced in her direction before heaving a sigh."He's in a video conference. He will be here in a while." Leonardo replied while doing something on his phone. Giulia raised her eyebrows before nodding."Then what happened in the hospital? You guys didn't say anything after returning from the hospital." She asked again while g

Upset Siblings

A couple of days went by, with Eleana frequently visiting her mother in the hospital and spending most of her time with her there. After her heated argument with her grandfather, she avoided his presence as much as she could because of how upset she was with him. Her days were going fine until Ayden received an urgent call from Canada, which made him fly back yesterday. Ayden didn't want to leave her there, but Eleana forced him to go, saying she would be fine there.But contrary to her words, she was feeling exactly the opposite. She had been missing him badly since the moment he left. She felt a hollow emptiness in her chest. She wished at least Lucien was there with her, but he was also stuck with the company work. The only good thing was that she was able to spend a lot of time with her two siblings and get to know them better. She spent most of her days with them. She could proudly say they were now inseparable. She also built a close bond with Amara over time."Eleana, see, Elio

Engagement

Eleana was walking down the stairs early in the morning when she noticed all the maids and servants running from here and there, preparing for something. She was going to leave for the hospital with her sister as usual to spend time with her mother. She frowned, wondering what was happening. Eleana looked around and found Sophia, Giulia, and Francesca giving orders to the servants. Eleana wondered if there was some special occasion she wasn't aware of."Aunt Sophia, is there something special today?" Eleana questioned herself while eyeing the extravagant preparation around her. She carefully dodged a servant who was carrying some flowers and was about to collide with her."Be careful!" Sophia shouted when she noticed Eleana about to get hit by the servant. The servant looked at Eleana apologetically."I'm really sorry, Miss. Please forgive me for my clumsiness." He quickly bowed his head while looking guilty. Eleana shook her head before smiling slightly at him."It's alright. Just be

Dinner

In the evening, everyone got ready on time before leaving for the VIP restaurant where they were going to have dinner. At first, Eleana didn't want to go there because she felt really tired. Recently, she started getting nausea frequently, making her feel sick and drained. Another reason was that she had some work to do once they left. But unfortunately, she decided to go because of Eirene and Elio. They were pretty upset once they heard that she wasn't going.Eleana didn't want to upset them or make them feel left out among all the people. Besides, she found something interesting about the Costa family. Roberto Costa was one of the council ministers of Italy. He had a high position in the Italian parliament. But the more interesting fact about the Costa family was that Roberto Costa's sister was married to Alessio Ricci's younger brother, Dante Ricci. Eleana was surprised to find the information after she searched for it on the internet. Eleana wondered why the Santoro family would a

A Truth and A Lie

After the dinner was over, everyone gathered around while chatting and drinking alcohol. The younger members of both families gathered in a corner while the oldest people talked among themselves. Eleana silently stood in a corner while observing everyone. Eirene, who was sitting beside her, kept sighing out of boredom, making Eleana chuckle at her."I'm so bored. Why don't we go home and watch a movie together instead of sitting here?" Eirene whispered while leaning forward towards Eleana's ears. Eleana raised her eyes slightly at her before shaking her head."We can't do that. I'm here for something important." Eleana whispered back, making Eirene frown a little as she wondered what it was."What is it?" Eirene asked, her voice getting a little louder than before. Eleana instantly pinched her to shut her up. Eirene pouted while looking around. No one was paying attention to them, as they were all busy chatting among themselves and planning the upcoming wedding."Why would you pinch m

Unexpected Discovery

Eleana quietly followed them without getting noticed by anyone. Everyone was busy with the upcoming wedding planning, so they didn't pay any attention to anyone. She reached the door they vanished into. It was slightly ajar. So Eleana pushed herself in without making any noise. After entering the door, she found a long, empty corridor. It made her frown because she had no idea where they went after it. Eleana debated with herself if she should look for them or just go back inside.She decided to do the first thing that came to her mind. She checked a few doors while going through the corridor. Every single one of them was either locked or empty. It made her frustrated. Besides, she needed to get back inside before anyone noticed she was missing. Just as she was about to turn around, she heard some noise coming from somewhere. Someone was shouting.Eleana quickly followed the noise and reached a room. The door was empty. When she peaked inside, she found Lucia crying and shouting at a
