The midday moved slowly and steadily.

Elara sat on the floor of the living room with her back against the couch

After lunch, her legs stretched out in front of her, papers spread around her.

Adrian was on the couch behind her.

She could feel him there,the small sounds of him shifting occasionally, the slow sound of his breathing.

He had a book open but she suspected he wasn't reading it any more just like she had that morning.

The house was very still.

Adrain had intentionally asked his wor

  • The Billionaire's only exception    The place my heart knows

    The room fell silent, Adrain didn't answer her immediately. He just looked at her,the afternoon light spilled through the window resting quietly on her face.She looks just exactly the same yet she was so far away.Her words rang in his ears,he slowly looked at her.“ I don't think that's a question I should answer”.Elara frowned. “Why?.“Because if I answer it”. He paused, choosing his words carefully. “It may influence your feelings”.Elara looked confused.”I don't understand”.“You have lost part of your memory Elara,I don't want you believing something simply because I told you,I want you to discover it yourself “.His answer stayed longer in the room,Jeremy who had been watching from the corner couldn't help but admire him.Most men would have seized the opportunity,but not Adrain he wanted her heart not her sympathy.Elara looked him in the eyes for a few seconds,there was no desperation in his eyes,just patience and pain.She couldn't explain why seeing that pain made her feel

  • The Billionaire's only exception    A sisters mask

    Lydia stopped a few steps inside the room.She clutched the bouquet tightly,her eyes already filled with tears.“Elara”. Her voice trembled.” Oh no look at you”.She hurried to the bedside before anyone could stop her and hugged Elara tightly.Elara hesitated for a second before returning the hug.“I'm so…ory” Lydia whispered. Her shoulders were shaking as if she was crying.” I was so scared when I heard about your accident”.Elara slowly parted her back.” It's okay”.Lydia pulled away,wiping the cornea of her eyes. “ No it's not okay”. She gently touched Elara's face .” You are my little sister,do you know how scared I was?Elara stared at her, something in those words should have comforted her but instead she felt strangely empty.“I'm sorry,” Elara said.The doctor's word echoed in her ears.” You may not recognize everyone immediately so don't force yourself”.Lydia forced a smile. “ You don't have to apologize “.Lydia noticed the confusion in Elara's eyes.So it is true,she reall

    He blinked and looked away.Alex's phone vibrated and he looked at Adrain.” Sir u think we found something”.Adrain answered almost immediately.” What's it?Alex's voice became unusually tense .” The car that hit Miss Elara wasn't an accident”.Adrain face hardened,then his blood ran cold when Alex said .” we found evidence that someone was following her before the accident “.Immediately Alex said those words, Adrain quickly turned towards the hallway without wasting any more seconds.And Alex followed behind.“Now tell me what did you find? His voice was low but Alex still didn't agree to show him there.“ Not here sir”.Then they walked to an empty consultation room, closing the door behind them.Alex placed a tablet on the table and tapped the screen twice. A surveillance video began to play.The video showed Elara's car leaving the house that morning and another car following her almost immediately.The car maintained distance,he wasn't close nor was it far.“It followed her for

  • The Billionaire's only exception    strange at heart

    The room was silent which became suffocating for Adrain.Adrain froze,his hands still suspended in the air while the words echoed in her ear.“Who are you?”.This was far much crueler than what he had imagined would happen if she woke up.She looked at him the same way people look at strangers on the street.The warmth that filled her eyes when she looked at him had disappeared.It was as if the woman who had loved him had disappeared overnight.The doctor quietly stepped into Elara's room.“Mr. Vale” but he didn't answer.His gaze never left her face.The doctor walked closer to him,tapping his shoulder. “ I think it would be better if you give her some time”.That finally pulled him back to reality,he slowly brought down his hands.He opened his mouth again to speak but no words came out.What would he possibly say to her now?I'm the man that loves you,she wouldn't believe that.I'm the reason you're lying down here,that truth would hurt her too much.He forced himself to smile,wea

  • The Billionaire's only exception    who are you

    The beeping of the machine echoed through the room and Adrain didn't know when he slept off.His forehead still rested on Elara's hospital bed,and his hands wrapped around hers.Adrain had stayed by her side throughout the night.When morning came nothing changed except for the fact that Elara's finger twitched.At first it was so little but then it twitched again,better this time that it woke Adrian up from sleep.His eyelids fluttered open, at first he was Abit out of it before his eyes went to the hands beneath him.He felt his heart stop.“.... Elara”Another tiny movement,this time he became really sure that her finger moved.“Doctor”His voice echoed through the hallway,and a few seconds later, a doctor rushed into the room with two nurses.“Please step aside Mr. Cake”“But…”“Please….”Adrain looked at Elara one last time before slowly releasing her hand and walking out of the room.The door closed behind him.Jeremy, who had been sleeping outside in the waiting room sleeping,w

  • The Billionaire's only exception    fighting for her life

    The maternity ward was two floors above Elara's room.She had been rushed to the hospital.She didn't expect what had just happened to her at all,even though she knew that Adrian was no ordinary man,she didn't expect him to do what he did to her even on her condition.The doctor that attended to Lydia was very precise,he didn't try to cover up anything rather he just told her in plain language that the push had triggered something they called placental abruption which doesn't look good coupled with the initial complications she already had and had refused to go for an operation.The doctor had said they would need to monitor her since the baby is under stress.“Will my baby survive? She asked with fear in her eyes.“We are fighting for that outcome but currently you need to be monitored and try to stay calm please stressing yourself will result in stressing the baby”.Lydia looked at the ceiling and then to the machine connected to her. She had tried for the past few months to try not
