"Everything. You. Do. Is. My. Business." He stressed every word in a loud and serious voice, making her shiver. His face held an expression which proved he meant every word he said just now. Eleana kept staring at his deep hypnotic grey eyes which bore holes into hers. The way he was looking into her eyes while holding her close to him made her experience some familiar sensations which she didn't experience for a long time. Eleana found herself getting weak at that moment, unable to say anything back to him. She hated her at that moment for becoming so weak just by some mare words and some mare touch from him. "Let me go." She said but her voice came out lower than expected, making it almost sound like a whisper. Instead of loosening his grip on her, he made it tighter making it impossible for her to fight his clutch. "What if I don't?" His words came out challenging, making Eleana glare at him. "Aren't you afraid your fiance might catch you holding your ex?" Eleana taunted while
Only two days left for Eleana's exclusive collection launch. She was really busy with the preparation for the launch. She had been avoiding meeting Ayden too and because of the launch, he didn't bother her either and gave her the space to work and prepare herself. Taking it as an advantage, Eleana made full use of it and made sure to avoid every interaction with that hateful couple. After her ugly confrontation with Natasha, she didn't feel settled. Deep down she blamed herself and tried to validate Natasha's accusations. She felt deep down, she was still weak towards Ayden and that's the main reason she still couldn't take a firm stand in front of him and ended up getting manipulated by him each time. She felt her heart take another turn whenever he was around her and she couldn't function well. But she didn't have that control over her heart. She spent so much time and effort to get over the past and move on with her pride. But it only took one Ayden Campbell to crush everything. E
Finally, the Day Eleana was anticipating for more than a year came. The day her new exclusive Design ' l' espérance ' would finally be launched. The French word l' espérance means Hope/Promise. It was a wedding gown and jewellery collection release. Eleana had worked days and nights for that collection and finally, her hard work paid off. She had arranged a fashion show for her collection to be released. When it came to her work, Eleana had a different version of herself. From her childhood, Eleana was fascinated with fashion design. Kathleen Campbell played a big role in that. As Kathleen was a fashion designer, Eleana grew up watching her work under the same roof. Under her influence, she also got interested in that field and decided to pursue it as a career when she grew up. Because of her fascination, she chose to study fashion design and also business at the same time so she could inherit and manage the business her father left for her. She wanted to make her parents proud. He wo
Ayden brought Eleana out of the building by carrying her on his shoulder. Eleana kept screaming but he didn't put her down until they reached in front of his car. He then pulled Eleana with him forcefully into the car, he shut the door before storming towards the other side of the door. He got into the driver's side before starting the car. Meanwhile, Eleana let out every single type of curse she could remember. She tried to pull open the door and escape many times but in vain. Ayden had already locked the door. He looked furious as he started the car while ignoring her completely. "Ayden Campbell, I'm warning you. Let me go. You fucking can't force me." Eleana let out an angry scream while looking at Ayden angrily. Ayden ignored her words as he started to drive like a madman towards God knew where. "Where are you taking me?" She asked as an unknown fear kept crawling inside her. She looked at him with fearful eyes. She knew he was furious and it kind of scared her because she knew w
Ayden drove Eleana straight to the office. They both entered the tall sky-blue skyscraper together silently. Eleana was dressed in a white V-neck sleeveless, a-line dress. She twisted her hair in the front and then put them on a messy bun. She was looking very innocent and beautiful, completely hiding the storm she had been through yesterday. Even though Eleana was looking completely graceful, inside she was very stressed because of Ayden's behaviour towards her. He had crossed the line completely yesterday. She was getting very exhausted because of his overbearing behaviour. But one thing which was bothering her a lot was Ayden's sudden change of behaviour. Eleana must agree, she had never seen this side of Ayden once in the past. She grew up living with him yet she didn't behave so progressively about her. Ayden glanced at Eleana and frowned, he was very bothered by her silence since yesterday after he forced her to live in the penthouse with him. After she stormed inside her room,
Eleana was walking by the poolside of the resort while checking out the interior decoration. She liked the view and also the way the whole resort was designed. She smiled as she watched people around her enjoying the view while drinking. The resort was designed very luxuriously and Eleana was sure it would be very popular judging by its location. As Eleana turned around, she suddenly collided with someone making her let out an ouch. The person quickly held her by her waist making her stand steadily. She looked up while rubbing her forehead. Her eyes met with a pair of stormy grey eyes which were looking at her with concern. Eleana frowned while trying to free herself. It was Ayden's turn to frown. With an unhappy face, he let her go. "Are you alright, princess?" He asked, her voice filled with concern. Eleana felt the urge to roll her eyes but she controlled herself and nodded at him unwillingly because she was sure people were looking at them. "Let's go, I want you to meet some o
"Just some red wine," Eleana ordered with a smile. Among all the alcohol, red wine was her absolute favourite. She wasn't much of a drinker though. She was feeling suffocated and exhausted. She couldn’t stand there and watch the hateful couple. She already felt her head aching just by their presence and she knew this place of filled with people and paparazzi. One wrong action and they would end up being in the headlines the next morning. Which is why Eleana made sure to keep her expression and action in check. She took a sip of her red wine before moving towards the empty corner of the bar. It was in the other direction. She felt like she needed to have some quiet time for a while and the crowd wasn't helping. It's not like she was enjoying herself there, she wasn't because those people were reminding her of the past and as always her mind drifted back to years back. She couldn't help it. It's been happening for the last one and a half years. Whenever She's in a crowd, enjoying hersel
The next day, Eleana was checking some financial statements while drinking her coffee. She was focused on the file which was in her hands, and suddenly her phone started ringing loudly, making her distracted. Eleana grabbed the phone with her left hand before checking the caller ID. It was Savannah. With a smile, she answered the call before putting the phone near her ear. "Hey." She called out softly while still scanning the file. "Did you check the news?" Savannah asked from another side, her voice filled with worry. Eleana frowned before answering. "What news?" She asked while keeping the file aside and completely focusing on the phone call. "Check the headlines today," Savannah replied instead, Eleana could feel her headache bubbling up as she thought of the possibilities. She let out a frustrated groan. "What is it exactly?" Eleana again asked with a sigh, "Check out yourself and call me when you do." With that Savannah cut the call. Eleana pulled away the phone from her
