Chapter 120: Whiskey and Daydreams
ElianaI watched Damian leave the house with Victor and Mike, I already knew they were going to the hospital. I accidentally overheard his conversation with Serena and Mila in the kitchen and I would have joined in if he didn’t ask them to keep his whereabouts from Pearl and I. Pearl lay on the sofa in the living room, scrolling through her phone just to get her mind off of what she was going through. So I didn’t bother telling her what Damian was up to. “Care for something to drink?” I asked softly, patting her hair gently. “Yeah.. anything strong would be lovely” she responded. I left and returned with a bottle of whiskey and two glasses, poured us both some of the drink and we just sat in silence, my mind racing with anxiety. Hours drifted by and I heard a familiar car pull over in the driveway, I knew they were back home. So I picked my phone up from the table and walked outside. “Where have you been?” I asked Damian as he stepped into the house and he shrugged his shoulders,
Chapter 121: Love is a Luxury
ElianaThe morning sunlight peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow on my face. I stirred, slowly opening my eyes to the familiar ceiling of my room. The events of the previous day completely flooded my mind Jax's warning, Victor's injury, and my own embarrassing fantasy, I could barely get any sleep. I quickly pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the main reason I woke up earlier than everyone else.I threw off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, feeling the cool floor beneath my feet. The house was quiet, everyone still asleep. I quickly grabbed my towel, making my way to the bathroom.The shower was refreshing, the warm water washing away any lingering sleepiness from my body. I got out, wrapped the towel around myself, and quickly got dressed in a pair of jeans and a tank top. I pulled my hair into a messy bun, not bothering with whether it looked nice or if I looked presentable.I had better things to worry about.I grabbed a paper and pen from my
Chapter 122: Bandaged arm
ElianaMike and his team were done installing everything on every door in the house and it was finally time to log us into the system. Damian stood in the living room, eyes glued to his phone the whole time. I knew he was still bothered about Jax and his inability to speak, so I didn’t bother him. Xavier’s car pulled over in the driveway and he walked straight into the living room, whispered something in Damian’s ear and his eyes lit up. They both glanced around and Xavier handed him a flash drive, a smile played on Damian’s face as he put it into his pocket. The cloud over him quickly disappeared and he strolled over to where everyone else stood. Mike was still busy guiding Mila’s hand as she got her fingerprints registered on one of the doors. “Where’s Victor?” Xavier asked and I pretended not to hear his question, scrolling through absolutely nothing on my phone. “Eliana..” he called and tapped on my shoulder. I reluctantly lifted my head and he repeated his question. “I hav
Chapter 123: A Tale of Spies.
ElianaAs I read the text, my hands shook slightly, and I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead. The message from Rostella was like a punch to the gut, and I felt my heart drop to my stomach, leaving me breathless and wondering what to do next or what she meant by that.How did she even know we moved him to our house?Victor's voice was like a distant echo in my clouded mind, "Eliana, is everything okay?" He asked.I nodded quickly, trying to play it cool, but my eyes must have given me away. "Yeah, everything's fine," I said, trying to sound as casual as I did before.But hiding my emotions wasn’t really my forte.And Victor clearly wasn't buying it. He leaned in, his eyes searching mine. "Are you sure? You look like you've seen a ghost." He said, his voice calm.I forced a smile, trying to brush it off. "I'm fine, really. Just... just a bit tired, that's all."The text still burned in my mind, and I knew I had to do something. But what? I couldn't tell him, at least not yet. No
Chapter 124: Parables
Damian As the sun set, I watched Mike and his team pack up their equipments, their work for the day finally done even though they had more doors to do, I guessed an extra day was necessary. The fading sunlight cast long shadows across the driveway, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers from the garden. In that moment, I wanted to forget about my problems and just enjoy the beautiful sunset.I nodded at Mike as they left, a sense of relief washing over me. With the security system upgrade, the house was definitely safer than ever.As I turned, Xavier was leaning against the doorway, watching me with a wide grin, his eyes crinkling at the corners. But for some reason he looked like he was miles away, lost in thought, like that smile was as a result of his thoughts. "Hey, Xav," I said, walking over to him, my voice breaking the silence. "How's it going?" I asked.He shrugged, his expression calm, but I knew him better than that. There was something keeping
Chapter 125: Dashed Hopes
Damian I couldn't help myself or hold myself back any longer. Who knew how long I’d have to keep her waiting just because of some lunatic named Preston. I was done playing safe because it might cost me the people I loved. Quickly I dropped to one knee, taking Mila's hand in mine, and looked up at her with all the love I have ever felt. "Mila, will you marry me?" I asked, my voice shaking with emotion.Her eyes widened, and then a radiant smile spread across her face. "Yes, yes, a million times yes,I thought you would never ask.” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.I watched as she fought the tears fighting to come out and I knew I’d make the right decision.I laughed, feeling like the happiest man alive. I realized I didn't have a ring, but I didn't care. "I'll get you the biggest, most beautiful ring, I promise," I said, standing up and slowly pulling her into a soft kiss.She laughed, her eyes filled with nothing but happiness. "You didn't have to do it like this, Damian
Chapter 126: How To Catch A Spy
Eliana I angrily stormed out of Damian's study, my frustration very evident like a pot that was about to boil over. Why couldn't he see it? One of the maids was definitely working for Rostella, feeding her information about our every move. I knew I had no concrete proof that nagging feeling in my gut that something was off was more that enough to make me suspicious.There was indeed to other logical explanation as to why Rostella was somehow a step ahead.As I walked back to my room, my mind was racing with thoughts, replaying every conversation I'd had with the maids, every look, every gesture. Was it Maria, the quiet one who always seemed to be lurking around every corner? Or was it Harper, the chatty one who always seemed to know more than she was letting on?I grew suspicious of everyone around me with each passing minute.When I opened the door to my room, Pearl looked up from her phone, concern etched on her face. "You look red, what's wrong?" she asked, noticing my express
Chapter 127: Sanctioning
Eliana I felt a rush of adrenaline as we burst into Damian's study with so much energy, Pearl and I, our faces set with determination, our eyes locked on his. He looked up from his desk, a hint of annoyance on his face like we were disturbing him from performing his tasks, but it was quickly replaced with curiosity as we dived into our story, our words spilling out like a confession.We were so proud of ourselves are we took turns speaking. Mostly because it felt so good to tell Damian, ‘I told you so’ "We did it, Damian," I said, the words tumbling out in a rush, my hands gesturing wildly as if to emphasize the greatness of our discovery. "We baited the maids, just like you didn't believe her, and it worked. Maria is the spy." Pearl added.His expression transformed from skepticism to fury within an instant, his eyes narrowing, his jaw clenching, his voice low and filled with anger. I couldn’t imagine how he felt hearing that someone he took under his roof turned out to be a spy
Chapter 128: More than a Kiss
Eliana“Make sure to search every bag before they leave!” I ordered and the security men at the door nodded. The maids filed out one after the other, their faces pale and evidently angered. “I can’t believe we finally uncovered the truth.. I feel so refreshed and relieved..” Pearl said and I couldn’t stop smiling. “There’s nobody in this place that’s happier than I am. I was this close to losing my mind” my hand hovered over my face, my thumb and forefinger merely a breath apart.. that was how thin my patience was. I saw Victor walking towards us and Pearl pinched my arm, her lips curving into a smile. “Get lost..” I growled through my teeth and she laughed her way out. “Hi Victor..” Pearl dragged his name like a song because she knew exactly what she was doing. “Hi Pearl..” “How’s your arm?” I asked and he swayed his hand over his face like he was pushing my question aside. “What’s going on? You didn’t tell me anything.” He whined and I looked around us, the only person in si
Chapter 129: Exhausted
DamianI stormed into my room, the weight of the betrayal heavier on my shoulders than I expected it to be.I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I'd been harboring a spy. Maria, of all people. I'd trusted her, liked her even because of how much Mila sang her praises. We ate the meals she prepared, cherished her. And the whole time, she was feeding information to... who? Why? The questions swirled in my mind like a tornado, pulling me under.She could have even poisoned me.I paced around the room, my mind racing with different questions, my anger getting fiercer with every passing second. How long had she even been doing this? Was she working alone? Was she the only one? The thought sent a chill down my spine, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.I trusted my maids too easily and thank goodness we discovered her, who knows what could have happened?Just as I was starting to drive myself crazy, Mila walked in, her eyes wide with concern, her brow f
