Chapter 120

“How much more time?” Josh asked as he looked through the window of the jet, gazing at the vast blue ocean below.Hudson checked the time on his wristwatch, humming. “Almost there, sir.”———Simon brought Elena back into their room. She seemed upset by everything he had just told her, but as much as it hurt to see her like that—lost, sad, and heartbroken—he knew it was important for her to know, now that Josh was awake from his coma.He hadn’t told her that part yet, but it was only a matter of time before he had to.He helped her sit on the bed, offering her a glass of water. “Here.”“Thanks,” she said to him, and his chest clenched at how sad she sounded.His phone came alive just then, and even though he could have ignored it and stayed with his beautiful wife to show that he cared, that he was always there for her, he had to answer and see how far Josh had gotten.He leaned down to press a kiss on her forehead. “I need to take this. Will you be alright?”She nodded, not really look

Chapter 121

The fleet of black cars pulled up in front of the beach house.Josh stepped out and looked up at the grand structure in front of him. From the dark expression on his face, it was hard to tell what he was thinking. But maybe that was the least of anyone’s concerns, because right now, the purpose for which he had come to the island held more importance than anything else. And that was to bring his sister and son home.Hudson moved forward, but when Simon’s guards stationed outside the house blocked his path, he stopped and glanced over his shoulder, as if seeking permission.Josh took off his glasses and glared at the men. “Tell your boss Josh Matthews has come to see him.”The guards looked at each other, but eventually, one of them stepped back and went inside, only to return and ask the rest of the guards to lower their weapons. He gestured for Josh and Hudson to move inside, but when the other men tried to follow them, Simon’s guards were quick to stand like a wall. “Only these two c

Simon shook his head, chuckling lowly. “You think you can threaten me? That’s rich coming from you. Especially, when you don’t even have that made you so fucking special.”Josh’s eyes widened, but it passed the next second, as if the surprise that claimed his handsome features moments ago never even existed. But then, he started to put the pieces together and all of a sudden, the puzzle that he had been trying to solve since the moment he woke up, became much clearer.Anger burned through his veins and before he could help it, his fingers curled into fists. “You.” He took a step forward. “It was you all along. You did it.”Simon grinned, cocking his head to the side. He raised his glass and took a sip. “Guilty as charged.”Josh didn’t know what he was feeling, but it was hot and white and uncontrollable. “You son of a bitch!” he growled, charging towards Simon, but Hudson was quick to hold him back.Josh struggled, wanting to wrap his hands around Simon’s neck. He wanted to choke him,

Chapter 123

Elena hugged herself close, letting the cool breeze of the evening beach dance around her, play with her.Not that she was in the mindset to really enjoy it. Her mind was elsewhere. Lost in the thoughts of its own. Not able to find even a minute rest.“Auntie Elena, look at my feet,” Caleb yelled from the shore.Elena forced herself to snap out of the bustling of her head and watched her nephew getting his feet wet in the waves. The huge grin on his adorable face always soothed down her restless mind. Even right now, she could feel herself warming up to his presence, her chest unfurling in ways she couldn’t really explain.“Don’t get too far, sweetheart. The waves are not as friendly as you think.”“I know, Auntie Elena,” Caleb whined, before running back when the next waves came rushing towards him. “But this is so fun. Even the waves can’t catch me. See? Did you see that? I’m so fast.”That made her laugh. Despite everything going through her head—every question, every doubt, every h

“Are you sure you want to stay?” Josh asked gently as he gazed at his sister.Elena glanced over her shoulder and locked eyes with Simon. “There are some things I need to take care of,” she said, turning back around to face her brother. She smiled. “But don’t you worry, I’ll be back soon.”“Are you sure you can trust him?”The way Josh had been glaring at Simon made it obvious the two did not see eye to eye. And yet, there was something—a reason—they weren’t declaring war against each other. Perhaps they had reached some kind of understanding—a common ground. From the way Simon had described his relationship with Josh a few hours ago, it was obvious he hated her brother with a passion.But look at them now.Not only was her brother ready to respect her decision to stay on the island for a while, but he also trusted Simon with her safety. And not only was Simon letting her brother leave without a scratch, but he also arranged a plane of his own, leaving no reason whatsoever for any kind

“Three months,” Elena said and waited for him to say something.Simon, however, looked pissed off. It wasn’t usual for him to grow angry as quickly as he did this time, but he couldn’t help himself either. It was as if she had found his weakest nerve, and was now pressing it slowly, making him feel as if the walls were closing in.“No!” He replied, looking as annoyed as he looked.“Three months is a fair time, Simon. You should be glad I’m not breaking everything off at least.”Simon huffed. “There’s nothing to be glad about.” He leaned back against the car, his strong arms folded across his chest. At the distance, the sun had almost hopped out of the horizon, and the cool breeze of the morning had started to grow warmer and warmer by the minute. Not that he was bothered by the rising temperature. Nothing bothered him more than the words coming out of her mouth right now. “Three months are too long. I can’t even give you three days.”“Now, you’re just being an ass,” Elena grumbled, cro

*SEASON 2*...*One Month Later*“Auntie Elena! Auntie Elena! You’re coming to see me at the annual function, right?” Little Caleb asked, his eyes as big and bright as ever.Elena looked up from her plate and smiled at him. “Of course. Wouldn’t miss it for the world. Especially when you are playing the most adorable butterfly ever.” She pinched his cheeks, and he scrunched up his little nose.“I’m not a butterfly, Auntie Elena. I’m a firefly,” he said, pointing at his costume—the one he had been wearing for the rehearsal that day—, his face flashing with pride and excitement. “You have to come because it’s very important. And I am a very important character, so I need you to be there.”“I will be there, baby,” she promised again, smiling. “Did you ask your daddy? Is he coming to cheer you on or not?”At the mention of Josh, Caleb’s smile faded into a frown, and he dropped his gaze to the small plate in front of him. “No. I have not.”Elena couldn’t help but raise a brow, curious. “An

The man laughed. “I can’t believe you fell for it,” he said, laughing more and more eerily by the minute. When he was done laughing, he leaned down and grabbed Elena by the jaw, yanking her face up so she faced him. “Such an innocent little lamb you proved yourself to be, princess. If only you knew what you just walked into.”Elena (aka Princess Sienna) glared, her eyes shooting daggers full of deep hatred at him. “You’re going to pay for this, Xander. My father will chop off your head and hang it on the streets for everyone to see what a pathetic loser you are,” she practically spat at him.That’s when the man sitting away from the scene grabbed the mic and yelled, “And cut! Perfect shot, guys. Let’s reset for the next scene in ten.”The actors relaxed, stepping out of their intense characters. Elena felt someone tap her shoulder and turned to find her co-actor, the man who played the main villain and her evil archenemy on the show. She grinned widely at him.“Great shot, Matthews,” h

“It’s your fault, just admit it,” the driver frowned, staring at the bent metal of the car, before looking at the woman whose scooter had slammed into it. “It doesn’t hurt to be a little more cautious while driving, does it?”The woman gasped, taken aback by the words of the middle-aged man. Her perfect brows pinched and a frown formed on her lips. “Are you kidding me? This is clearly your fault.” She was so pissed—so damn pissed. She was already late for her class, and this man—this damn old man—was backing off from lecturing on how to drive. For Angelina, it was simply too early for a lecture, especially when she was already late enough to have to skip her breakfast.And clearly, an empty stomach Angelina was a very cranky Angelina.She took a few breaths before replying, her hands pressing hard on her hips as she tried to calm her anger and not explode at the man. “Sir, my scooter hit your car because you suddenly and illegally switched lanes without notifying or signaling to anyone

Chapter 129

Elena was heading towards her car when a black Mercedes rolled up in front of her.Surprised for a moment, it didn’t take her long to recognize the car’s owner.However, before she could say something, the backseat window rolled down and Richard’s familiar face appeared. “May I drop you somewhere?”Elena adjusted the strap of her purse, feeling awkward once again. Perhaps working with her ex wasn’t such a good idea after all. Josh had warned her against it, but she had decided to trust her instincts and signed the movie, mostly because she had instantly fallen in love with the script and knew such stories and opportunities were hard to come by.“I’ve got my car, but thanks.”He nodded, still smiling. “Sure. See you tomorrow at the crew meeting?”“Wouldn’t dare miss it.”“Good.” He nodded once again, spared a lingering glance, put on his dark shades, and instructed his driver to leave.Once Richard’s car was out of sight, Elena sighed deeply.God, she didn’t know how much longer she cou
