The leather inside the Maybach was really hot as Sarah slammed the back door shut. My father was lying across the seat. He looked really sick. His face was pale. He was breathing really hard.

"Elena, look at the dashboard " Sarah said. She was really scared. She got into the drivers seat.

I got into the passenger seat. My dress got caught on the part of the car. The map on the screen was gone. Now it was a red timer counting down.

  • Under His Watchful Eyes    Chapter Fourty Three

    "You're late, Julian," Arthur said. He set his coffee cup down on the table . "The board was just discussing your public meltdown last night. Your little stunt with the fugitive's daughter cost our stock price three points at the opening bell.""The meeting hasn't officially started, Arthur," Julian said. He pulled out a heavy leather chair. "Sit here, Elena."I sat down and looked straight at Arthur.Julian slammed his hands flat against the table. "And as for the stock price, it’s already rebounding. Investors don't care about my personal life. They care about profit."Arthur laughed. "They care about stability. And a CEO who throws away a multi-billion-dollar alliance with the Montgomerys because of a decade-long fixation is not stable. I’ve already gathered the signatures, Julian. We are voting to suspend your executive powers today.""With what shares, Arthur?" I asked.Arthur’s eyes snapped to me. "Keep your mouth shut, girl. You don't have a seat at this table.""Actually, sh

    The sharp buzzing of Julian’s work phone shattered the quiet of the bedroom.Julian pulled away from my neck with a low curse, his jaw clenching tightly. He reached over to the nightstand, snatching the device and staring at the screen."Don't answer it," I murmured, reaching out to touch his arm. "You said no phones today.""It's my head of security," Julian said, his voice dropping into that flat, serious CEO tone. He slid his thumb across the screen and brought the phone to his ear. "What is it? I told you not to disturb me unless the building was on fire."There was a pause. I watched his ocean-blue eyes turn completely ice-cold as the voice on the other end spoke quickly."Where is she now?" Julian demanded, sitting up straight in the bed. His broad shoulders went totally rigid. "Block her access. I don't care if she still has an executive pass. Revoke it immediately.""Julian, what's wrong?" I asked, sitting up beside him, pulling the sheets tight against my chest. "Is it Vivie

    I woke up wrapped in Julian’s muscular arm slung securely over my waist, pulling my back flush against his broad chest. His breathing was slow and deep, his face buried in the loose waves of my blonde hair. Even in his sleep, his grip on me was unyielding—as if he were constantly making sure I hadn't vanished into thin air.I shifted slightly, turning around within his embrace to face him. The sudden movement made him stir. His long eyelashes fluttered open, and those ocean-blue eyes focused on me instantly, instantly clearing of sleep."You're still here," Julian murmured, his voice incredibly deep, rough, and gravelly from sleep. A soft, breathless smile touched his lips, a rare look that he only ever showed to me in the dark of this room."I told you I wasn't running anymore," I whispered softly. I raised my hand, my fingers gently tracing the sharp line of his jaw, feeling the slight prickle of morning stubble.Julian’s breath hitched at my touch. He didn't hesitate; he leaned

    I walked over to the edge of the bed, my knees suddenly shaking beneath the heavy fabric of the midnight black gown. The cold, confident mask I had worn in front of the high-society crowd completely dissolved. Julian pulled off his tuxedo jacket, tossing it onto a chair before turning to face me. His ocean-blue eyes were still dark with that intense, protective adrenaline, his chest rising and falling heavily. "Are you okay?" he asked, closing the distance between us in three long strides. He reached out, his large, warm hands gently catching my face, his thumbs wiping away a faint trace of sweat on my cheek. "Did she hurt you with those words, Elena? Tell me." I looked up at him, my green hazel eyes wide as my mind continued to spin. "Julian, you broke the engagement. In front of everyone. In front of the entire board of directors." "I told you I would," he murmured, his voice dropping into a low, gravelly rasp. His fingers slid deep into my blonde hair, tilting my head

  • Under His Watchful Eyes    Chapter Thirty Nine

    Vivienne’s breath was ragged as she stood there, waiting for the crowd to tear me apart, waiting for Julian to look ashamed, and waiting for me to break down in tears.But Julian didn't flinch.Instead, his arm tightened around my waist, lifting me even closer against his side, turning his body into a solid shield between me and the flashing cameras. He looked down at Vivienne with an icy, disgusted stare that made her loud shouts die instantly in her throat."Are you finished, Vivienne?" Julian asked, his voice low, and entirely lethal.He didn't wait for her to answer. Julian stepped forward, pulling me along with him, and raised his chin to address the entire ballroom. His powerful voice carried easily over the whispers, commanding absolute authority."Since you want to talk about our marriage alliance in public, let's make things very clear for the shareholders," Julian announced, his ocean-blue eyes scanning the room like a ruthless king. "As of right now, the engagement betwe

  • Under His Watchful Eyes    Chapter Thirty Eight

    The grand ballroom of the Vane Luxury Resort was a sea of glittering diamonds, expensive tuxedos, and flowing silk gowns. Hundreds of the most powerful people in Las Vegas were packed into the room, their voices filling the air with low, excited murmurs.Tonight, nobody was talking about business. They were all talking about the massive scandal that had hit the news yesterday morning.At the center of the VIP section stood Arthur Vane and Vivienne Montgomery. Arthur looked calm and powerful, holding a glass of champagne as he greeted shareholders. Vivienne looked stunning in a white designer gown, but her green eyes were flashing with a cruel, satisfied triumph. She thought she had won. She thought that by exposing Elena’s past, she had scared the girl away forever.Suddenly, the double doors of the ballroom swung open.The loud chatter in the room stopped instantly. The silence was so sudden you could hear a pin drop on the marble floor.Julian stepped into the ballroom, and right
