“Oh my god. ”
“Why?!Why didn’t you say anything?!” Damien did not answer instead his miserable irises stared deep into my soul making my eyes tear
up in agony.
“Why did you think that I was not beside you when you woke up after the car accident?”
Why did I not stop your wedding with Alex? The answer to all that is because I was incapable Elena”
“Damien?” I asked confused and the very next moment he simply took off his shirt making me gasp. The homifying burn scar across his chest made me tremble as I rushed to him tracing the red gash with shivering fingers.
“It was you who got hurt for me and not Alex!”
“No. No, Why? Why! He lied to me all along…” I clutched Damien’s shoulders and sobbed in agony X
“I was admitted to the emergency ward with you, unfortunately it took me a long time to recover. The day I came to consciousness was your wedding. My palm covered my mouth in shock, entire body quivering with each passing word.
“I came to your wedding Elena, I wished to tell you the truth but when I looked at you dressed in that beautiful silver gown looking at Alex with so much love. It was the first time I saw you so happy and I didn’t had it in myself to snatch it away from you.”
Baby I am so sorry, If only I would have acted sooner and told you the truth-”
“No. If only I hadn’t been so foolish Damien.” The male gently looked at my belly as he embraced me in his arms.
“I wish they would have been mine Elena. I wish I was their father.” We cried in each other’s arms that night!
After that day something changed between us. My broken heart was little by little won over by Damien every day.!!
Surprisingly a week later Damien’s father Maximus Giovanni showed up in his Paris apartment. Sitting in a traditional wooden armchair he tapped his fingers annoyed, his gaze sharp and disceming as always.
“I don’t understand your damn stubbornness, Damien, the daughter of the Sinclair clan is absolutely perfect to be your fiance!!
Now that Alex is out of the picture, you need to come back and take control of our business empire.” the elder Giovanni began, his tone
His eyes darted to the bouquet of flowers on the table which was obviously a woman’s touch in Damien’s life who had always preferred mute grey and black colors. He might have ignored it, if it wasn’t for my pink hairtie wrapped around Damien’s wrist.
“So there is already a woman who’s caught your attention? What is so special about her? Damien, I do not care how many females you bed, you can play around as much as you want and entertain your heart but that must be it.
When it comes to manage, you will marry Melissa Sincalir.
“And let my woman wither away just like my mother did?“))
“Damien Maximus Giovanni’s raged irises were like a pit of fire. His first wife, Damien’s mother Lily knew that since she belonged to a small family and Maximus needed support she would soon be replaced thus when she was diagnosed with cancer she never told
In her last days when she succumbed to the disease she did not even allow to meet Maximus once, Lily was the lifelong regret of Maximus after which his marriage with Alex’s mother was just on paper as he never remained under the same roof as her
“Do not bring your mother into this! She sacrificed for this fucking family when we were barely surviving, it was our destiny!” Maximus Giovanni felt guilty as he still spoke.
“Melissa will know her place so you better get your act together. You owe it to this family to think rationally and act in the interest of the Giovanni legacy“:
Damien leaned against the edge of his desk, has arms crossed over his chest as he said with disgust.
“Rational? You mean sacrificing my happiness, just like you sacrificed hers? I will not repeat your mistakes, no, they were crimes that you committed in fact I won’t trade my love for alliances or your fucking profit.”
Maximus Giovanni rose from his seat abruptly in rage. “And what do you think this woman, a damn nobody can offer you?
She’s nothing compared to what Melissa Sinclair represents! Stability, the power of Sinclair household and prestige! All things you need as the heir to this family!“i.
“Then don’t make me your fucking heir, Alex corries your legacy in all ways.
Damien shot back, his voice cold yet laced with venom. “He
is so similar to you that he will follow your words” My ex–father in law remembered me and his face got red in anger.
“So what if he divorced that girl?! She was unable to give us a heir! I feel sorry for Elena yes but for this family you have to take difficult decisions Damien ”
“By doing what? By cheating on your spouse?”
“Shutup!” Maximus Giovanni was almost at the end of his wits.
“I need freedom from your toxic control“}
“Freedom? Freedom to destroy the empire i built with my blood and sweat?! Freedom to throw away centuries of tradition for some floating lust?” Maximus’s voice rose, his patience thinning!!
“An empire built on manipulation and loveless manages?” Damien countered, stepping closer to his father. “I don’t fucking want it. I will nover marry anyone else other than the one I love!”
“You have no choice!” Maximus raged, his tone reverberating off the walls “You carry the Giovanni name! You will do what is required of you Domeni
