Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Thirty Two_Flashback Three
Elena."They'll be back soon." I glanced around my stepmother's office, my anxiety a tight knot in my chest. "We should leave."We already had what we came here for. Four hundred thousand dollars in cash, which Evangeline had kept in her secret safe. It was more than enough to start a new life and a family with.Cracking Evangeline's safe wasn't rocket science. She used the date she got married to her one true love, my father.Even thinking about it made me want to let go of my lunch all over the floor.That was if I wasn't carried out of the mansion in cuffs first. "Hold on. I almost... got it." James grunted as he pried open the custom-made lock of a small metal box attached to the safe's exterior. It served as a second layer of security for Evangeline's most prized possession: an antique family heirloom, a diamond ring worth millions of dollars I was sure she planned to give to Elliot once he was ready to get married.I already regretted telling James about the ring. I should hav

Elena.He came at the exact time Ari had given to him. Ten fifteen on the dot on a Tuesday morning at a coffee shop close to the Eiffel Tower."Elena."He was here. In Paris. Standing a few feet away from me and looking unexceptionally calm."We were supposed to talk on the day of the wedding. You refused to talk." He stuffed his hand into his pockets and rocked back on his heels. His pants were more faded than he typically liked, but that was the only thing different. He had on a well ironed shirt and had styled his hair in his usual pattern.He was the same Elliot. Handsome, charming, manipulative, and once held a caring streak for me.Some people were capable of change, but Elliot wasn't one of them. He was as set in his ways as concrete.If he had agreed to this meeting, then he wanted something.I just hoped it would be something I could give."Elena Blythe. I never thought I would see the day where you would agree to meet me again." His chuckle set off dozen alarm bells in my
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Thirty Four_Ecstasy
ElenaMy knees weakened with relief. I never thought the day would come when I would be excited to hear that voice welcome me, but in that moment, I would build an altar and worship him for the rest of my days.I looked over Elliot's shoulder, oxygen creeping into my lungs at the sight of Sebastian's tousled hair, and lean powerful frame."Sebastian." I breathe out the name like it was my salvation.In a way, it was.Elliot's eyes sharpened before he dropped his hand and turned, giving Sebastian a polite nod that he didn't reciprocate. "Well, I didn't know I would get to see the inlaw today. Thank you for letting me see my sister." Then he turned back to me. "Remember Elena."I waited until he was out of the cafe before I slumped against the chair, my heart racing, and my breakfast threatening to make a reappearance.Sebastian crossed the distance between us and grabbed my hand. His eyes swept across my face, concern etching tiny grooves in his brows. "You look like you are about to t
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Thirty Five_Elena
Sebastian.If Elena knew how addicted I was to her, she didn't say. To her taste, her smell, the breathy moans she released everything she had an orgasm, and the way her pussy clamped around my cock like it was made for me.I wanted her every single time. I couldn't remember the last time I had been this ravenous over a woman. Even Rachel couldn't bring out such a side in me, no matter how she tried.Meeting up with Charles, Kevin, and Vanessa in a bar at the outskirts of Paris was not how I imagined spending the time after I fucked Elena."Are you going to spend all your time with your wife?" Vanessa teased the moment she saw me. "She's a pretty little thing. If she was mine, I would spend all my time just fucking her...."Kevin had no opportunity to finish that statement. He received a punch on his jaw before I took my seat at the other end of the room.Charles laughed. "Well. Never talk about his wife again, Kevin, or you might have a crooked nose before the end of this year."I
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Thirty Six_Past
Elena.If there was one thing I learnt from the honeymoon trip with Sebastian, it was never to expect Sebastian to reveal his plans to you.I heard he was in the estate for the first time in two weeks after we returned from our honeymoon from Jaden. Apparently, he was going over his schedule for the rest of the month with Ari."There's my wife. Stalking people already." Sebastian's lazy drawl drifted into my ears.I looked up to find him leaning close to the kitchen counter, arms folded over his chest. There was no way to know what he truly felt from looking at his face, a blank piece of canvas.But that didn't stop me from noting the faint trace of a sly grin dimpling his cheeks. His eyes lit up in amusement as he lazily used his eyes to undress me.A strange sort of relief washed through me. I hadn't even thought I was that interested to know the wellbeing of Sebastian until this very moment."This is a kitchen for anyone in this estate to use. I would hardly call it stalking." I sa
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Thirty Seven_A murderer would always be a murderer
Elena.The thing about compromising....was that I was always one to compromise when I felt threatened.Sebastian swirled the neat scotch in his tumbler, complete focus on the blond haired lady sitting opposite us. To be truthful, she had the attention of almost all the men in this particular table.Sebastian was sensible when it came to a lot of things, his cars, his clothes, and his career - but he was downright rabid when he felt like he had been crossed.With the way he ignored me since we came out of the car, save the few interactions with members of the public. He kept me like a lady kept a bag. Ornamental.The compromise was to forget about all that he thought he knew, and we should focus on our ends of the deal we made."Daddy wouldn't like that. He spent a whole lot on that particular painting." The blond lady's voice reverberated over my ears like the sound of a pesky fly.I didn't like her. I had doubts I ever would."True." Sebastian's friend, Kevin, said. He tossed back a

Elena.Locked in the estate for two days with no one but the kids and a throbbing nose as company wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.For one, the kids were more whiney than usual.If Charlotte wasn't running away with something that belonged to Jaden, Jaden was messing up with something that belonged to Charlotte. A total mess.I strode through the hallways of the Halloway Estate, carrying a stack of snacks to satisfy my sweet tooth. At almost midnight, I was in no hurry to get back to the room I had acquired for myself in Sebastian's wing.The building was almost as hollow as the hole in my heart.I barged into the empty office close to his wing."It is common courtesy to knock before entering a room."I invited myself to the seat in front of him. "It is common courtesy not to punch a woman's nose because of a lover that was never truthful to you."Ryan's mouth drew in a flat, dissatisfied line.His face, on the other hand, was healing terribly. Courtesy of Sebastian's knuckles
Arrangement With Mr Halloway Chapter Thirty Nine_Bonding
Sebastian.In hindsight, taking Elena to that fundraiser probably wasn't the best idea I had ever had. The short-term gain of keeping Vanessa, Kevin, and Charles quiet about the whole situation wasn't worth the long-term pain of seeing another scandal I was involved in on the news.So long anonymity. "You fucker. How dare you lay your hands on me.""I could tell everyone about your real wife, the mother of your son."Every time I thought about the short conversation Ryan had with himself whenever I punched him, I wanted to cringe and annihilate myself.Cameras out, videos being recorded, Kevin carrying Elena out with some of my security details on them, the emptiness in my chest even more empty without her.It was unacceptable.Wanting to marry her because I needed someone for Romanov was acceptable. Wanting to tell her everything about myself and the business was not.It didn't matter that she might be the only one to understand and comfort me. It was simple wrong.I allowed her cud
