All Chapters of Chasing My Replaced Bride: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elaine spoke up breaking the silence after few moments, "How is your Mother, Hina?""She died two years back." Hina replied sadly."I am sorry. I didn’t know."Hina was enraged at once, "If you have cared, you would have tried to contact me, Elaine. So don’t bother about me. You weren't there when I needed my friend the most. I did nothing but sticking to you since I knew you but you cut me off so easily from your life like I mean nothing to you.""It’s not true, Hina. My life was always messed up and you had always been trying to clean it up for me. I just thought you also have your life and I.. I.." Elaine stuttered at last and tears started rolling down from her eyes, "I know what I did was wrong but it seemed the only right thing to me that moment. I am sorry."Ryan stood near Elaine, convinced that he was the reason behind his mother's tears, "Mom, I am sorry. I won't run." and got near Tom, "Tom, sit. Don’t run, okay? Mom is sad."As much as Hina wanted to ignore Elaine's nonsen

As Elaine left, Sam walked near Cannon, "Let's go now." Cannon slid in his car only after seeing Elaine getting in a taxi. Leaning against his seat, he closed his eyes. Sam spoke up, "Cannon, let's leave from here. Maybe Elaine.." "No, Sam. I am not going anywhere. I will try till my last breath if it takes to get Elaine to believe me." Sam thought Cannon must have forgotten about his meeting with Hamlet in all this. Trying to get Elaine back to him was way far safe than the meeting. Though he wasn’t sure anymore after seeing Cannon like this but still, Hamlet had profound hatred for Cannon. Proving him wrong, Cannon spoke up, "The meeting with Hamlet, you won’t go with me. I will handle it alone." Sam stopped the car with a jerk, "No way you are going alone. Get that clear. And here, I was thinking you forgot about that." Smiling sadly to him, he again shifted to his earlier position, "No, Sam. I promised some people, gave them some hope. I can't go back on my words." Sam still

After Cannon finalized the project plan, work load became too much and a week passed as if in the blink of an eye. Elaine could feel Cannon was supporting her with the project work as much as he could but remaining in his professional boundaries. And Elaine couldn't help appreciating his effort this time. Cannon would look up at her in between with hopeful eyes that she would open up and talk to him but Elaine didn't. That day just after lunch time, Stephanie called Elaine, Zarah and Mack to his cabin. Elaine thought it was just to know about the progress of their work but Stephanie had other things to discuss as well. When their talk about work was done, Stephanie spoke up, "It's my marriage anniversary tomorrow and there will be a party at my place." "Congratulations, Sir." Elaine and Zarah greeted at the same time with a smile but hearing his next words got Elaine taken aback. "Thank you. Well, you guys are obviously coming and Elaine, I want for Mr. Henderson to attend the p

Whatever help, Sam was expecting of getting from Elaine didn't work. At first, Elaine wasn't believing him and then she didn't seem to be caring about Cannon.Sam tried to let her know about Hunter and Haiden Kings but either Elaine was totally clueless about the mafia or she really didn't want to be bothered.Sam didn't expect Elaine to be this unaffected not at least when he mentioned there was a possibility of Cannon's life would be in danger.He got back to the penthouse, determined to accompany Cannon in the meeting no matter what.Sam didn't let Cannon get out of his sight as he accompanied him to the office and other meetings. Cannon didn't mind him but after lunchtime, he tried to leave Sam behind and went alone but Sam wordlessly stared at him.His silent refusal to obey Cannon worked at last and Cannon forwarded for the meeting with Sam and his security team.Somewhere in his guts he knew nothing good would happen. But then it had been this way for a long time.After Elaine

The sound of Cannon's heavy breathing faded away and Sam's screaming voice filled the air as he called Cannon's name and it paused Elaine in her place, her phone slipping out of her hold.That time the conversation with Sam from last night buzzed in her mind. He wasn't lying or wrong about the mafia people. Cannon was really in danger. She knew it there and then.We happened to have moments in our life. Some of them are cross-road moments. That moment changes everything through the convergence of destiny and choice.When we must need to decide whether to go in the same direction or change the course.Elaine could feel that moment had appeared in front of her last night and she chose to remain persistent in her direction. She had the chance to stop Cannon. But she didn't. She jolted out of her thoughts after a few minutes and picked up her phone from the ground. The call was cut off by then.She called Cannon again and held it on her ear with a shaky hand. She just wanted Cannon to p
