Under His Watchful Eyes Chapter Fourty
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

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

The private elevator doors in the penthouse flew open with a loud bang. Julian stepped out, and I could tell immediately that he was absolutely furious. His jaw was clenched tight, his hair was a mess, and his tie was pulled loose. The usual calm, serious billionaire look he always had was completely gone. Right now, his blue eyes looked wild with fear and anger. He didn't care about his multi-billion-dollar company at this moment. He only cared about me. He ran across the room, his large hands grabbing my shoulders tightly. He didn't hurt me, but his grip was shaking. "Elena," he said, his voice deep and completely frantic. "My security team is downstairs right now clearing out the garage. I have a private jet waiting at the airport. I’m going to get you and your father out of Las Vegas before any of these reporters can get into the building." I looked up at him. For ten years, Julian had been the one watching me from the dark, planning everything perfectly. But now that his f

The morning sun broke, casting a warm, golden glow through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse.I woke up slowly, the weight of Julian’s arm wrapped securely around my waist keeping me pinned to the mattress. For the first time in ten years, I didn't wake up with a sudden jolt of panic. There was no urge to check over my shoulder, no frantic need to put on the fake, practiced smile I used to protect myself from the world.Turning my head slightly on the pillow, I looked at Julian. He was already awake, resting on his side and watching me with a soft, unblinking intensity. His short black hair was messy, and the sharp, serious look he usually wore as the CEO of Vane Enterprises had completely melted away. In its place was a look of pure, quiet adoration."Good morning," he murmured, his voice thick and coarse from sleep. He leaned in, pressing a soft, lingering kiss against my forehead, his breath warm against my skin."Good morning," I whispered, a small, genuine smile tou

The storm outside finally began to pass, the violent rain tapering off into a quiet, rhythmic drizzle against the glass. Inside the penthouse master suite, I stayed exactly where I was, sitting on the edge of the massive bed with my head resting against Julian’s shoulder. His arm was still securely wrapped around my waist, his palm resting against the emerald silk of my dress. The heat radiating from his bare skin was a constant, solid anchor.For the first time in as long as I could remember, I didn't try to pull away. I didn't try to calculate an escape route or think of a lie to clear the distance between us. The sheer exhaustion of wearing a fake, practiced smile for the world had caught up to me, and surrendering to his embrace felt less like giving up and more like finally being allowed to breathe.Julian remained perfectly still, as if he were afraid that a single sudden movement would shatter the fragile peace between us and make me retreat behind my wall of ice again.
