Elena gasps, and her muscles contract around me, fucking milking me. I groan as she comes, taking me right along with her.
She smiles in satisfaction and collapses on top of me. I wrap my arms around her and press a kiss to her temple. Elena sighs and repositions herself, her head on my chest, both of us still panting. I hold her tightly with one arm, stroking her back with the other.
Amazing sex and mutual trust… it’s enough. It has to be.
Chapter 49
Elena
I look into the mirror, admiring my outfit. I opted for a maroon-colored pantsuit, and even I have to admit that it makes me look…powerful.
“You look stunning,” Alec says, his eyes roaming over my body. I smile and walk up to him, fixing his matching maroon tie.
I place my palms against his chest, my heart filled with gratefulness. “None of this would be possible without you.”
He smiles and brushes my hair behind my ear. “Are you ready?” he asks.
I nod. Three months. It’s been three months since we took my mother home. It took me that long to get all legal aspects in place.
Alec holds my hand as we walk down the stairs. The entire ground floor is filled with men dressed in black suits, guns strapped to their waists. My mother stands in the middle, leaning on her cane, Sofia by her side. She still can’t walk well, and she can’t walk for long, but she’s getting there, slowly.
She looks beautiful today, and every time she smiles at me, I’m still struck with disbelief. I almost lost my mother, and what for?
Lucian nods at me from the sofa, Elliot by his side. I smile at him, and nod at Elliot in thanks. He’s gone above and beyond for me.
Alec places his hand on my lower back, and I take a deep breath to calm my nerves.
“Tonight, we’re taking the Rousseaus down,” I say, my heart at ease. It should sound strange to me to say that. Not too long ago, I was a Rousseau myself. Yet I feel nothing but excitement.
“Team Beta will be on standby at their estate, awaiting my orders. Team Alpha will be with Alec and me. We’ll be hitting the board room.”
I glance at my mother and smile. “I’ve called for an emergency shareholders’ meeting, so they’ll be on high alert. At this point, my father should be aware that someone has been buying up his shares, but he’s unable to find out who, thanks to Elliot,” I say, nodding at him.
Alec purchased all the shares under a privately held company that he gifted me, which would already make it hard to unveil who the buyer is, but Elliot has managed to hide all remaining traces of ownership. From what I understand, my father has already tried to follow the money, only to come up against a brick wall every single time.
“My father won’t be too worried yet, because he thinks he still owns a majority shareholding between Matthew and himself. The paperwork proving that we’ve undone that is right here,” I say, lifting a stack of papers for my mother to see. Alec’s lawyers have gone above and beyond to assist me with my plans, and it wasn’t easy, but they’ve made it happen.
“All other teams will be stationed at every other property owned by the Rousseau Corporation. We’ll be taking over all of them. I want every single lock changed.” I glance at Elliot and smile. “And every single access code, too.”
He nods at me, looking excited. Elliot is on standby to disable all security systems at every property today, and while it’s a momentous task, he’s assured me it’s a walk in the park for him. Lucian puts his hand on Elliot’s knee, betraying his nerves, but Elliot merely smiles at him reassuringly.
“Let’s go.”
Our teams get into their vehicles while Alec offers my mother his arm.
“Wait,” Elliot says, handing me an earpiece. “I’ll coordinate with you,” he adds, and I smile, squeezing his hand.
Alec, Sofia, my mother, and I head toward the limousine, and it isn’t until we’re on our way to Rousseau Corporation that the nerves set in.
“You’ll do amazing, honey,” my mother says, and I nod. Rage fills my every vein at the thought of what they did to my mother. They’re going down, if it’s the last thing I do.
I smile as I step out of the limousine, and I feel truly fearless as I walk into the building. For years,years, I’ve felt helpless. Not anymore.
I walk toward the board room with just two of our men by my side. Alec, Sofia, and my mother not too far behind me, their pace adjusted to Mom’s.
I smile as I push the door to the board room open with force, enjoying the way it loudly slams into the wall.
The members of the board sit up in surprise, and my father looks at me in shock. “Elena?” he says, his voice laced with dismay. “What are you doing here? This is no place for you.”
