All Chapters of Whispers Of The Thornfield Empire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

Alex was staring at her, his eyes filled with an emotion Elara couldn't quite identify. Elara raised an eyebrow. "What happened?" Alex blinked as if he had just been pulled from a trance. Then, without warning, he burst into laughter. Trying to regain his composure, he stammered between chuckles, "Wh... at... you have taught me of? Ahh, do you think I’d fall for this kind of joke? Come on, Elara, I’m not that dumb." Elara didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she smiled, her gaze softening. But inside, she whispered to herself, You are dumb, Alex, for not believing my words. By the time they reached the office, the familiar buzz of workplace chatter surrounded them. Whispers and knowing glances followed their steps. News of Alex and Elara’s relationship had spread like wildfire, fueling envy among their colleagues. Their names were on everyone's lips—part admiration, part jealousy. Elara quickly settled into her tasks, immersing herself in work to avoid the stares and whispered sp

Elara Thornfield was a woman of many secrets, a puzzle the world could never fully solve. To outsiders, she appeared cold and distant, entirely consumed by her work. But beneath her stoic exterior lay layers of complexity, haunted by vivid, exhausting dreams that left her drained each morning. As she stood on the precipice of a life-changing moment, her choices narrowed to two: 'DO OR DIE'.The evening at the office began like any other. Elara sat at her sleek mahogany desk, the phantom glow of her computer screen illuminating her sharp features. The office, usually alive with the hustle of executives, now lay in silence—punctuated only by the faint hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustle of papers. She was reviewing the financial projections for the quarter when her phone buzzed insistently on the table. The screen flashed: Unknown Number.A prickle of unease danced up her spine. The Thornfield name attracted all kinds of people—some looking for favors, others hoping to

As Elara read the message on her phone, her eyes filled with rage, her face growing redder by the second. Her breathing was uneven, a storm brewing inside her. Just then, the doctor entered the waiting area, his calm demeanor cutting through the tension.“Miss Elara,” he said gently, “Tessa is fine now. She’s out of danger.”Elara felt her chest loosen. Relief washed over her, and for the first time in hours, she exhaled deeply. “Thank you, Doctor,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Without wasting another moment, she stepped outside the hospital corridor and dialed Sophia.The phone barely rang before Sophia picked up. “Yes, ma’am. What’s the next step? Should I bring him to you?” he asked, his voice steady but eager for direction.A sly smile crept onto Elara’s lips. Her smirk hinted at something far more dangerous than mere relief. “No, Sophia,” she replied smoothly, her voice dripping with confidence. “He’s just a puppet. Someone else is pulling the strings. I need t

Elara’s initial shock quickly transformed into disbelief as she noticed Alex's familiar smirk soften into something more tender. Before she could utter a word, he pulled her closer, his arms tightening around her."I’ve missed you, Elara," Alex murmured, his voice low and warm. "You didn’t think I’d stay away forever, did you?"She blinked, her emotions swirling inside her. "Alex… What are you doing here? You can’t just—"He interrupted her by brushing a strand of hair from her face. "I can’t just show up uninvited? Maybe not. But you look like you’ve been carrying the weight of the world, and I figured you could use some company."Before she could protest further, Alex gently took her hand and led her out of the apartment. "Come on. Let me take you somewhere that doesn’t feel so heavy," he said, his tone balancing teasing and sincerity.A short while later, they arrived at Elara's apartment. The cozy warmth of the space was a stark contrast to the tension she had felt all day. Alex g
