ELENA:I could see an impressed look on my dad's face as most of our director applauded me and some were still not happy about my return. I took my seat back, and stared at Mia with a smile on my face, telling myself that I had done a great job, at least great enough to impress most of them.I had been preparing for this day, and thankfully, it went really went, even better than I had expected. "Mia would guide you on everything that you need to know, especially the new changes. Listen to her from now on." I nodded my head while I stared at Mia. Thankfully, it had to be Mia and not anyone else. "Alright dad, I will." He rose to his feet while everyone followed, including Mia and I.As everyone walked away, Mia and I stood at the entrance of the company staring at dad and other directors step into their cars. As soon as dad's car drove away, Mia turned to face me."That was so great sis. I really didn't believe you had that under your sleeve."I smiled back at her, "Thank you so mu

DAMIAN:There was a damn lot on my mind. The very moment I had walked into that office and seen Elena and Alessandro in that position, I felt pain, and disappointed. Elena still didn't have control over Alessandro and I wasn't even sure she would have control after our marriage.I understand how the mate bond can be very confusing, or rather, how it can be very alluring, but that wasn't what she needed at the moment.The most painful part is she not letting me help me. I knew this was going to happen from the onstart of all this and that was why I was trying so hard to prevent her from going back there, but damn it!My foot hit the wheels of my car and I groaned in pain, trying so hard not to think about what I had seen in there, not to recall those memories because they were fucking hurting. What the hell do I have to do to keep her away from that darn bastard.Daniel stepped out, and stood behind me. "Are you alright?" He questioned, but I rubbed my forehead in frustration, and turn

ALESSANDRO:After walking out of the company, I could help but feel a little bad for whatever had happened to Elena in there. Mia and Damian were my last concern right now, in fact, I would give any damn thing to see that look on his face again.I was worried about Elena though. I knew her too well for all the countless years that I had looked after her, and found out a lot about her. "Liam, let's head to the bar,.I need to check out something immediately." I was certain she would go there because this wasn't the first time. I just had to wait for her for as long as I can. I got into the car and Liam ignited the engine immediately. As he drove the car, my mind couldn't help but drift back to the look on Elena's face when I was apart from her with only a few inches."Alpha."I fluttered my brows twice before hearing Liam clearly. "You don't have to scream my name, Liam.""Don Valentino sent a message earlier. Should I pass the message?""Not now, Liam. I'm in no mood for any bad news r

ALESSANDRO:I pulled Elena closer to myself, wrapping my arms around her waist and watched as she cried silently while holding me tight. "Don't leave me for a second time Alessandro, don't do it."It was the effect of the drink, definitely!! But at the same time, Elena had not even the slightest idea what she was saying or the fact that it was me. "I'm never gonna leave you again, Elena, trust me." I whispered back to her. When I laid her back on the bed, I took off her jacket, and drew the pillow closer to her head so she could rest her head properly on it.As I turned to leave, Elena made some uncomfortable noise, and called my name for the second time. I sat down on the bed again, and began to slowly take off her clothes as I had guessed that she would be feeling very uncomfortable. "I'll help you."As I drew closer to her, Elena raised her head high, very close to my face, but I hurriedly looked away, causing her lips to touch my cheek. I took a deep breath in trying as hard as po

ELENA:I tried to open my eyes clearly and stretch properly, but the strong arm around my waist made it impossible to do so. The scent around me was so familiar, and so intimidating, but as I fluttered my eyes, I nearly had a heart attack with what I saw.Alessandro was on the same bed with me!And!!! Oh my goodness! I raised the duvet and found out we were both naked, then a loud gasp escaped my lips. Goodness! What the hell did I do? What the hell did I say to him last night? He was still fast asleep like a baby, holding so tight in a manner that made it look like he didn't want me to leave or he didn't want to wake without seeing me by his side. It was impossible for me to move away from his grip so I had to stay still.I groaned in pain as it felt my head was pounding so hard as a result of the drink last night. After what happened, I laid back on the bed, holding my forehead, and trying hard not to think about last night. I must have messed up badly, and yet I still came back to
