Eleana slowly walked towards the long mirror planned in the centre of the room before standing in front of it. Her sapphire-blue eyes collided with her reflection in the mirror. She looked a little nervous. Eleana tried to swallow it down while glancing from top to bottom. She was dressed in a white mermaid wedding gown with a sweetheart-illusion neckline. The silhouette of the dress stayed fitted from the chest to her knees and then flared out the rest of the length to the floor, along with the long veil adorning the top of her elegant bun. Eleana could feel her heart palpating against her chest as she stared at herself. Her make-up was done elegantly, and her hair was put in a beautiful low bun. She was wearing a small diamond necklace, which her mother bought for her, along with matching earrings."You look beautiful, baby." Eleana heard her mother's soft voice behind her, making her turn around. She smiled at her mother and Kathleen."Thank you, Mama. You two look gorgeous." Elean
In the lavishly decorated ballroom, everyone drank their drinks while happily chatting with each other. They were all dressed in expensive suits, dresses and jewellery and also were in their best behaviour. It was a very important opportunity for them to get on the good side of the Campbells who ruled in the whole business world besides the Morins and Levinsons. Those three were the most prestigious families in the entire country, They even had their names recognized in the global business world. Everyone feared and at the same time respected them. Everyone wanted to impress them and be on their good side. Why not? They were considered the elites. The pillar of the country. So it would be their fortune to be able to work with them and for that reason what could be a better opportunity than a party on the occasion of the current CEO of the Campbell Corporation's return? Ayden Campbell is the current CEO of the Campbell Corporation. He took over his family business 5 years ago and bro
While they made their way through the crowds towards the people waiting patiently for them, people couldn't help but stare at them and whisper things that didn't seem too pleasing to the ears.Eleana could hear a few women gossiping about her and Ayden's sudden change of relationship a.k.a their so-called breakup."How could he leave her for an outsider? Is he out of his mind! They used to look perfect together" A middle-aged woman dressed in a purple shining gown that covered her anklet whispered in a hushed tone to her group of friends. They all nodded at the part where she said they used to look perfect together. Eleana also used to think the same for so many years. She lived in that white lie for ages but now she was finally out of it."Exactly. Ms Davi
After the short journey filled with deep and heavy breaths came to an end, Ayden parked the car in front of the penthouse they used to share before. He hadn’t been there since last year when he went to the USA when they were still engaged. Currently, Eleana was the one staying there alone. She still couldn't bring herself to move out of that apartment. It had too many memories to leave behind and her heart wasn't ready to leave them alone.Ayden came out of the car and before he could reach the other side of the car, Eleana had already opened the door and came out. She didn't even wait for Ayden's response as she turned her back towards the entrance of the building and directly went inside. She didn't want to stay in the same space with the man who had mercilessly broken her heart. She had yet to collect the broken pieces and join them together for them to function again and it wo
One and a half years later…Eleana looked at the busy streets of Vancouver through her car's window. Nothing had changed about this city in the past one and a half years of her absence. It's as busier as ever. She smiled watching the familiar places she used to roam around.It's good to be back. It's time to face everything and claim whatever was hers. As the Campbell mansion came into her view, she couldn't help but smile. She didn't realise how much she missed home, it was her home because her beloved Uncle and Aunt still lived there. She couldn't wait to see their surprised faces after they saw her. She didn't tell anyone that she was coming back. She wanted to surprise them. With that thought, she got out of the car."Peter, please send my luggage inside and then you can take the day off and rest. I will call you if I need you. Have a nice day!" She warmly instructed her driver before bidding him a bye. Peter smiled and nodded at her before thanking her. Eleana smiled at him befo
Eleana soon composed herself and masked all of her emotions before turning her head away and sitting down. She knew that moment would arrive from the day she had decided to come back and face everything. But as she was experiencing the situation unexpectedly, everything felt surreal to her. She didn't understand why her heart was beating crazily against her rib cage after seeing the man who broke her completely. As those unwanted thoughts were making her head burst, she decided to block them and face everything the way she planned. "What happened, Ayden? Why are you still standing there? Come and have your seat." Philip asked from his seat which made Ayden come out of his shocked state."Oh let me guess. He's also surprised to see our Elea darling back, right Ayden?" Kathleen asked with a chuckle, making Ayden look at her with a nod. Eleana heard everything but didn't bother to make any comments because anything related to him wasn't her concern. "Yeah, I'm surprised," Ayden mumbled
"What are you doing Eleana?" Ayden asked, looking straight at Eleana who just shrugged carelessly at his words."Whatever you are seeing Mr Campbell." She answered while crossing her legs. Ayden looked at her irritatedly. "What's wrong with you?" He asked as he removed his blazer and threw it on the other side of the sofa. He then loosened his tie and then rolled both of the sleeves of his shirt. He was clearly annoyed and Eleana knew it. She knew him like the palm of her hand. "There's nothing wrong with me. I simply don't wish to continue our collaboration. I don't see anything wrong with that." Eleana replied with a straight face. She kept her face void of any emotion. "Really, Eleana? You don't see anything wrong with it?" He asked with a humourless chuckle. Eleana could see him clutching his teeth while keeping his hands in a fist, it was a sign that he was getting pissed off. "No." She answered curtly, making him glare at her."You go to Paris without informing me, you cut
The next day, the whole country got the news of Eleana Davis coming back to the country and showing up to the film producer Kolton Miles's party with Robin William as her date. The gossip and juicy headlines again surfaced and she again became the trending topic online. When Eleana went to the breakfast table for breakfast she came face to face with Ayden again. From the cold look she was getting from him, she was sure he also read the gossip."Elea, darling, do you want me to deal with these silly paparazzi and make this useless gossip disappear?" Philip suddenly asked, Eleana shook her head before finishing her bite."No uncle. Those are just silly gossip. Don't bother yourself with them." Eleana dismissed the idea with a chuckle. The truth was she didn't want to remove that gossip. Not yet. She wanted everyone to know that it was over with Ayden Campbell and she was over him. They weren't connected anymore. "Why darling, do you like the boy?" Suddenly Kathleen asked while looking
