"Cannon?"Evana's voice got into the hearing of Cannon and Elaine only to get them startled.For a moment Cannon got paused there before he turned to Evana who was taking slow steps to reach them. An apologetic expression on her face, eyes were glossy with unshed tears.Elaine was looking at her with uttered confusion. What is she doing here now?Seeing Cannon still, Elaine could feel it was Evana's first time to meet Cannon after all these mess up.Before Elaine's mind could come up with a response, taking her by utter surprise, the next thing, Cannon slid Elaine's hand down from his arm. Elaine turned to Cannon confusedly only to find his gaze solely rooted on Evana.Whatever left confidence was there in Elaine, instantly flew away. She moved her gaze away from Cannon and looked at Evana. For a moment she looked sad but when Cannon slid Elaine's hand down, a smile got appearing on her lips making Elaine's heart ache.The way Evana was smiling at Cannon apologetically, with Cannon's
"Since when did orphans start owning a place?" Elaine got silent not because of hearing Evana's icy voice but for the hatred she felt when she referred to her as an orphan. In her earlier place, she was always got considered as an unwanted person with whom they were burdened forcefully. Since she understood that, she was left searching for an answer to her unasked question. If she was really like that, then why didn't they just throw her out of their place and live peacefully! At least they could let her leave when she tried. But no. This thought always bothered her and still didn't found its way to meet the answer. Her trance of thought got interrupted. "Do you really think Cannon loves you or he will fall for you anytime soon if you keep clinging to him? Let me burst the bubble of your fucking daydream. It's never going to happen." Evana kept glaring at Elaine as she continued, "Can't you see Cannon is just using you to make me jealous because he is upset with me? Why are you
As Cannon forcefully got his hand free from her hold, Elaine opened her eyes with a jerk uttering, "Cannon!"For a moment she got confused why she was sitting on the floor and then the memory of last night hit her.She turned to Cannon immediately and found him sitting on his bed and staring at her with a questioning look. With an intention to check his fever, she raised her hand to reach his forehead, "Are you okay now?"Cannon immediately removed the comforter and got down from the bed pushing her hand away, "I am fine." and walked to the washroom.When he got out, his room was all neat and arranged. Generally, Neil did this work after he left for the office. Then is it Elaine? What is she trying to do! He shrugged off the thought as soon as it came, getting irritated.Getting ready for the office, he got downstairs only to find Elaine in the kitchen. Cannon looked around but there was no sight of Bella anywhere.Elaine was smilingly talking to Hina on her phone but when she got th
After the day of Elaine’s photoshoot, Elaine got an offer from another company to work with them for a project as a model.Though she didn’t want to do it, she didn’t get the chance to say so. After signing the project with them in the main convention center of Henderson's Corp on the fifteenth floor, she sat silently there, staring at Cannon.He was all smilingly talking to Adrian Parker, the project manager of that company. Though Cannon was happy with the project, Elaine wasn’t. She could feel her career was getting bound to all this in which she still couldn’t take much of interest.Sam was silently seeing all this. He could feel it but couldn’t decide what to say.After signing the project, the other staffs left from there. Sam accompanied them to the elevator.Elaine was about to say something but before that, Cannon's phone got ringing. Taking out the phone, he glanced at the caller ID. It was Mr. Hobsons. Before attending the call, Cannon slid the file to Elaine, “Take the f
I am sorry. Elaine kept staring at the writing for a while. She wasn’t sure whether Cannon was being sincere when he wrote those words for her but his acts of getting her the same phone which she used earlier, inserting her SIM card and memory card into that phone, compelled her to think of his sincerity.Getting freshened up and taking a quick shower, Elaine made her way downstairs. Bella was in the kitchen. Seeing her, Bella smiled a little and spoke up, "Cannon said you don't need to go to the office today."Elaine nodded at her thoughtfully. She didn’t have anything to do there today anyways. After taking her breakfast, thinking of what to do, she made her way to the library and spent some time reading books there.It was almost afternoon when she thought of vising Hina and getting ready, she got out of the apartment.She was thinking of taking a taxi but she didn’t need to do that. Seeing her, the driver which was assigned for driving her announced his presence smilingly and bro
Cannon kept staring at Elaine as she uttered, "I don't want to live Evana's dream life but my simple one." her eyes were still on her plate.Pausing for a moment, Elaine pleaded with glossy eyes, "Please?" as she turned to Cannon.Cannon wasn’t expecting something like this from Elaine. At first he thought she wouldn’t even try to snatch the project from Evana nor he expected her to succeed even if she got trying for it.But she really made it to his utter surprise and now the other companies were eager to get her signed with them. His plan was getting fulfilled on its own. He thought the fame, priority and status, Elaine was getting, would make her compelled to go on with it wholeheartedly which was supposed to create be a rift between her and Evana for sure.What's actually going on? He got asking himself.Finding Elaine still staring at him, he uttered knitting his brows, "Did they say something to you?"Elaine sighed helplessly. It got clear to her that Cannon wasn’t going to ag
Elaine was shocked and relieved at the same time when she heard Cannon saying, "You don't have to do modeling anymore."She couldn't help confirming that she wasn't being delusional but heard him right, "Do you mean it?"Cannon nodded but didn't utter anything."Then what should I do? I mean can I go to our shop?" Elaine desperately prayed for Cannon to say yes. She wasn't going to ask for any second thing. This much was enough for her to live her life happily.And to her utter surprise the day seemed to be her lucky day as Cannon smiled a little and added, "Yes, you can."Elaine was so excited after a long while that she couldn't handle it and just hugged Cannon as she got uttering, "Thank you, Cannon."Cannon didn't utter anything nor did he try to push her away but just stood there flabbergasted.After a few moments when Elaine knew what she actually was doing, she let go of him immediately, "I am sorry."~~It was early in the afternoon. Standing by the road, Cannon and Elaine wer
It was still dark outside when Elaine sleepily opened her eyes only to open them fully with a jerk noticing the unusual bed and different surroundings.The memory of last night popped into her mind only to get her scared. She turned to her side and found Cannon sleeping peacefully. She tried to get up and the blue bed cover removed, revealing her naked self. She immediately pulled up the bed cover to cover her and kept laying down.Her movement disturbed Cannon's sleep and he turned to her side, still sleeping. His hot breath fanning her face made her lightly shiver. Elaine could feel it was too late to run away from her own feelings. Yeah, I am not going to deny anymore what my heart wants, not going to run away from my own feelings. Elaine thought to herself. Mustering up some courage, she placed her palm on his cheek and whispered, "Cannon?"She was sure she would be just talking to herself because Cannon appeared to be in deep slumber. But surprising her, he responded lowly, "
