Proposal

Eleana somehow managed to return to the banquet hall without being caught by Lucia or Eduardo. Her breathing was haggard due to running so fast. For a moment, she almost forgot that she was pregnant. Eleana touched her forehead to check if she was sweating or not. To her surprise, her forehead was covered with sweat. Eleana didn't even have time to wipe off her sweat when she heard heavy footsteps coming in her direction, making her eyes go wide. She quickly stepped inside the banquet while using the back of her hand to wipe off as much of her sweat as she could. She felt relieved when she spotted Amara, who frowned at her. "Where have you been? I have been looking for you for a while." Amara inquired while walking up to her. Eleanor forced a smile at her. "Wait, what happened to you?" Amara added again, looking at Eleana's slightly messy appearance. Eleana grabbed her hand before pulling her into the crowd. She had to be back at the table before they came back here. "I was in the w

Mission

It was finally the day when Andres and Idalia's engagement would take place. It was a big day for Santoro and Eleana. Eleana wanted to talk to Leonardo about whatever she witnessed because, right now, he was the only man she trusted in the family. She didn't even trust her grandfather fully. Eleana checked her phone to check the time before getting out of her room. Ayden had already landed in Sicily and was busy taking care of an important business. He would be here at any moment after he was done with the task. Eleana walked down the staircase carefully while sending a text. She looked around, only to find everyone engrossed in the preparation. Since the engagement banquet would take place in the back of the villa, everyone was moving back and forth to finish everything on time. Eleana again checked her phone to see how much time she had. The engagement ceremony would start at 6 in the evening. So she had around eight hours left. Ms. Santoro is expecting your presence in his office

Return Of An Old Enemy

Eleana returned to the Santoro Villa with Ayden after finishing her task in the hospital. There were only two hours left till the engagement ceremony, which caused her to rush to the washroom as soon as she reached her room. After taking a quick shower, Eleana began to get ready for the party.She stood in front of her vanity, her reflection framed by the gentle glow of the dressing room's golden chandelier. Her fingers softly touched the assortment of garments hanging on the polished metal rail of the wardrobe. She chose a gown that shimmered like moonlit water, with cascading sequins that mimicked the starlit sky, after a moment's thought. Since it was an extravagant party, Eleana was certain that everyone would dress to impress. That's why she decided to pay extra attention to her appearance. Ayden was here too; it's been forever since they enjoyed an occasion together.Eleana slipped into the gown with ease, the fabric wrapping around her like a second skin. The neckline dipped ge

Engagement Party

Eleana took a quick look around before taking a step towards Ayden and grabbing his arm. She pushed open the door to an empty room before closing it behind them. Ayden, on the other hand, did not object and allowed her to do everything she wanted. Eleana finally turned around to face Ayden, who was waiting for her a few steps away."What has changed? Why are you telling me this now? She lowered her arms on both sides before asking him. As he glanced at her, Ayden's mouth formed a harsh line."Lucien called me an hour ago. He's also here. He couldn't contact us since Lincoln became suspicious of him. His phone was confiscated by his men." Ayden explained, his gaze narrowed. Eleana blinked a few times as she processed Ayden's responses."What the hell! How did he get suspicious? I thought we did everything correctly. Eleana inquired, making Ayden sigh."I assume because Lucien was here with us for a time. It bothered Lincoln. Lucien was able to notify me using someone else's phone. He t

Confronting The Enemy

Ayden took Eleana's hands in his before squeezing them lightly to warn her. Eleana diverted her eyes from the people in front of her before glancing at Ayden. His eyes were fixed on her as he slightly shook his head, telling her to compose herself. Eleana took a deep breath to calm herself before nodding her head.They both walked towards an empty table before sitting down. Ayden helped her sit down by pulling a chair for her, making her smile a little at him. He then sat next to her."I have been looking for you. Someone said that, making Eleana look at them. It was Elio. He smiled at her before taking the seat next to her."Hi, Ayden." Elio greeted Ayden when their eyes met. Ayden smiled at him before greeting him back."Hi, Champ. How have you been? He asked while pointing his hand towards Elio for a shake. Elio reached out his hand before shaking it gently with Ayden's."Pretty good. I heard you returned in the morning but didn't see you around. " Elio responded while leaning back

Revelation

No one has noticed Ayden's absence so far.Meanwhile, the more Eleana thought about her confrontation with Alessio Ricci, the angrier she got. She felt like they were all playing with her while trapping her in some web of games she wasn't aware of. It worried and frustrated her at the same time. At the moment, she felt like she didn't know any of them yet. She was missing some important points. From her mother suddenly returning to Sicily to getting attacked and then her father being kidnapped. Everything looked like life. They were well planned. There was something really big going on around her that she could not understand. The more Eleana thought about it, the more her heart became cold.She tossed around on her bed, unable to sleep.

Fallen Mask

The indifferent mask on Antonio's face dropped as he looked at Eleana with a hard look on his face. His eyes were piercing through her as he tried to read past the emotion she was showing on her face. He looked like he didn't believe her. Eleana let out a smile as she stepped back from him. Of course, it's not something that he could believe so easily because it hits directly at his capability and intelligence."You do not believe me, do you? Eleanor asked while turning around and showing her back to him. He didn't answer her and only kept staring at her back. While Eleana walked towards the family photo that was hanging on the wall. She stared at the photos with a small smile on the corner of her lips."Your first mistake was thinking that I wouldn't know anything about my mother before coming here. Eleana taunted with her back showing towards Antonio. She gently touched the photo of her mother just being a teen. She looked happy and carefree in the photo as he hugged her two brother

Eleana pondered over Antonio's proposal for a moment before giving in. She looked at him before nodding slightly. Antonio smiled in satisfaction after hearing her answer."But before that, I need you to promise me something. Eleana cleared her throat before speaking. Antonio paused for a moment before nodding his head."Alright." He responded with a firm nod. Eleana wet her lips with her tongue a little while Antonio waited for her to continue."You can't hide or play any games with me. Eleana told him firmly while looking him straight in the eye. Antonio's lips curled up before he nodded."I'm a man of principles, Eleana. He replied, making Eleana slightly roll her eyes. She grasped her fingers together before focusing her attention back on him with a serious expression on her face."My first question is, is Uncle Leo your biological son? Eleana asked while leaning back in her chair. Antonio's smile completely dropped as he stared at her in shock. Eleana couldn't help but chuckle whe

Missing

When Eleana returned from Antonio's study back to her room, she was surprised to discover Ayden wasn't there. She frowned as she called his name, hoping he was in the washroom. But to her dismay, the restroom was empty when she pushed the door open."Where did he go?" Eleana muttered to herself before grabbing her phone and checking the time. It was already around 12.30 a.m. Eleana sighed after realising it was almost midnight. She didn't realise she had been in Antonio's study for more than an hour.Eleana turned around while quickly walking towards her bed. After sitting down on the edges of the bed, Eleana decided to dial Ayden's number. When she unlocked her phone, she noticed she had already received two texts from him about an hour ago. Eleana frowned while rubbing her aching temple with her fingers. She left her phone in the room when she went to meet Antonio. She remembered her talk with Antonio, which made her feel sour. Eleana quickly shook her head to push aside those thoug

Missing (2)

Eleana hurriedly made her way inside the tall building of the Santoro Group before rushing towards the elevator. She didn't even bother to glance around her as she got into the elevator before pressing the 17th button. She waited while anxiously tapping her feet on the floor. Her insides were filled with worry and negative thoughts. At the moment, she only had one wish: to see Ayden safe and sound in front of her.Soon the elevator reached its destination, and the door opened. Eleana rushed out before walking towards Leonardo's office. She had been here two times before. She directly reached Leonardo's assistant's desk. The woman was typing something on her laptop when she heard Eleana's footsteps approaching her. She instantly got out of her seat before smiling politely at Eleana."Good morning, Ms. Davis. Mr. Santoro is Eleana didn't let her finish before cutting her midway."Ask him to come to his office immediately. It's urgent." Eleana ordered while still dialling Ayden's number
