Chapter 31 Missing Pieces Elena (Flashback_Six months ago) “Lily… that's your daughter's name,” the doctor's words echoed repeatedly in my head. I had a daughter? The thought felt strange in my mind yet it also felt dear to me. Lily. It felt so familiar, so warm, as if it had always been a part of me. Was she really my daughter? “Your memory loss is most likely caused by the stress and trauma induced by the accident,” the doctor stared at me steadily. “It's not unusual,” he added, adjusting his stethoscope. “ We’ll continue to monitor your condition, and make sure you're alright.” Alright? The thought felt alien to me. I'd lost my whole memory, having no recollection of who I was, the things I liked and disliked. I definitely wasn't alright. I opened my mouth, wanting to ask more questions but the door opened at that moment, drawing my attention. Two people walked in—a man and a woman. They were both young but just based on appearance I felt the woman looked cl

Chapter 33Unraveling SchemesDamien(Flashback_Six months ago) The day had started well enough, I'd just come out of the shower, the cold stillness of the house another Stark remainder of Elena's absence. Forget it, I snapped at myself in self reproach. She was gone and that was it. End of story.I'd just worn my trousers when my cell phone beeped suddenly, snapping me to the present. My eyes narrowed when I saw Clara's name flashing on the screen. Clara never called me if it wasn't important, what was so important she couldn't wait for me to get to the office first? I wondered, glancing at the clock. “There's an emergency, Sir,” Clara's voice was on edge and her words instantly made my nerves tense. “What happened?” I demanded, I put the phone on speaker and sped up my dressing. “The stocks we launched just last week are plummeting, and…” Clara hesitated, “There's something you need to deal with right here.” I felt a ball of ice freeze up my insides. “I’ll be there in twe

Chapter 35Nervous EnergyElena (Present_Time) This wasn’t happening I thought, nearly staggering. It couldn’t be. Only that, it was. “You're joking right?” I whispered, still shocked at Damien's words. “Quite the contrary, I'm not,” Damien smiled but the smile didn't reach his eyes. “Me?” I finally managed, my voice barely above a whisper. The weight of the situation seemed to dawn on me afresh. “I… I thought—”“Enough, Elena,” Damien interrupted me. He glanced at his watch, “No one knows the proposal better than you. It's time,” Damien rose to his feet. My heart lurched in my chest and I squeezed my hands together as nervousness wreaked havoc in my system. ,“Calm down Elena,” Damien paused in front of me and his calm steady eyes met mine, searching. Could I even calm down? Could I? My pulse quickened and a ball of panic loosened in my belly. I was going to present the proposal before the whole board, a few external supervisors, and their opinions could make or break the

Chapter 37 He's A SavageElena  My mind was a whirlpool of emotions by the time I arrived at Mike Lipton’s office. His office was an old high-rise building just off the road leading towards Chinatown. The elevator was out of order so I was forced to use the stairs. By the time I arrived at the office on the sixth floor I was breathing hard and I could feel my shirt sticking to my back.  What kind of investor couldn't invest in a functioning elevator? I grumbled under my breath.     I recognized his assistant who rose to her feet as I approached.  “I'd like to see Mr. Mike please,” I went straight to the point.  “Well,” she hesitated, unsure if she was going to speak.  “Is Mr. Mike not in?” I asked, glancing at my watch, and frustration filled me.  “He is, it's—”  “I have an appointment with him,” I frowned,  wondering why she'd kept on prattling.  “Okay,

Chapter 39Conflicted HeartsElena“Wait, you mean he actually did that?” Jenna's voice was filled with disbelief at my words. “He cut off ties with the guy? That's huge,” Jenna's surprise mirrored mine. “I know,” I said, my mind still at a standstill since I'd seen the news all over TV. “Are you okay, Elena?” Jenna asked, lowering her voice. “Like are you really okay? How do you feel?” “I…” I hesitated, instantly pressing down some memories that threatened to rear their ugly head. “I'm better,” I finally said, sinking into the couch. Jenna's silence didn't feel believable, “I was really worried, Elena,” she whispered. “And what's going on between you and your boss?” Jenna asked. “He's doing an awful lot for you, it's crazy.” “Dami— I mean, he's like that,” I said. An image of Damien beating the shit out of Mike appeared in my head. “Is something going on between you two?” Jenna asked carefully. “I—” the words I'd been about to say lodged in my throat and I paused.
