“Wait..” Eleanor screams when Kayden is about to take his side on the bed.As Kayden moved to take his place on the bed, Eleanor's sudden outcry startled him, causing him to freeze in place, his expression a mix of confusion and apprehension. He literally jerks behind confused and scared."What?" he demanded, his tone sharp with irritation.Eleanor's eyes darted to the pillow beside him, her movements swift as she reached out to remove it from the bed."This pillow... it will hurt you," she explained earnestly, her concern genuine as she moved the offending object aside.Kayden's brow furrowed in disbelief. "Seriously? You shouted for that?" he retorted, his frustration evident in his voice."I don't want you to get hurt during our honeymoon... what will people say?" Eleanor countered, her words dripping with sarcasm.Kayden clenched his jaw, struggling to comprehend Eleanor's sudden outburst. Her actions were perplexing, her concern for his well-being bordering on obsessive."Eleanor
"He is just playing with your mind," Eleanor repeated to herself, her voice firm as she stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. "And your confidence, Eleanor. Don’t let him win. Just don’t let him win."She had taken a shower, hoping to wash away the lingering feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability that Kayden's words had stirred within her. Now, as she stood in front of the mirror, she was determined to regain her composure and face him with dignity.With a deep breath, she stepped out of the bathroom, her resolve steeling her against the lingering doubts that threatened to cloud her mind. Kayden was already seated at the table, eating fruits as if nothing had happened."You're early," he remarked, glancing up at her. "I thought you wouldn’t come out until afternoon."Eleanor rolled her eyes at his attempt to tease her, refusing to let his words affect her. The best course of action now was to ignore him, to act as if nothing had transpired between them.She turned her at
Avery sat at the kitchen table, the steam rising from her cup of coffee as she listened intently to Eleanor's recounting of her honeymoon. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the tension that hung between them like a heavy cloud."Can you believe he paid the bills? I don't know why? First, he acts all weird, taunting me and all that. The next instant, he acts so nice and calm. His mixed behavior is confusing me," Eleanor grumbled, her frustration evident in the furrow of her brow."He's not that bad then," Avery remarked, taking a sip of her coffee, the warmth of the cup a comforting contrast to the coldness that seemed to seep into the room.Avery's casual comment only seemed to fuel Eleanor's irritation, her own coffee forgotten and growing cold as ice beside her. "You're not here to praise him, Avery. Give me something to wipe that grin off his face."Avery rolled her eyes, the weight of Eleanor's bitterness becoming increasingly tiresome. "For once, ca
"I don't understand what Kayden saw in you," Aurora snapped, her words cutting through the tension-filled air like a knife. Eleanor braced herself for the confrontation, her patience wearing thin as she prepared to defend herself once again.Refusing to back down, Eleanor met Aurora's gaze head-on, her resolve unwavering despite the younger woman's hostility. "Let him decide that," she retorted coolly, her tone tinged with defiance. "Instead of showing so much interest in mine and Kayden's marriage, perhaps you should focus on your own. If you had spent as much time with Sebastian as you do criticizing others, I'm sure you would have had babies by now."The words hung heavy in the air, the silence that followed punctuated by the weight of Eleanor's pointed remark. Aurora's eyes welled with tears, her composure crumbling in the face of Eleanor's unexpected jab. With a cold glance in Eleanor's direction, she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room, her emotions raw and unchecked.
WATSON MANSIONSebastian Knight and Adam Watson sat in the living room of the Watson Mansion discussing their political moves ahead. Adam Watson had never shown any support to Sebastian’s political party so far but then times were changing and also now he had a connection with the Knights after getting Eleanor married to that family. Hence, he had personally invited Sebastian over breakfast today, so that he could put forth his own ambitions towards the advancement of his political career which couldn’t be a success without Sebastian Knight’s political party’s support.Sebastian Knight and Adam Watson sat across from each other in the elegant study of the Watson Mansion, the atmosphere tense with anticipation. Sebastian, his brow furrowed in concern, set his cup of tea aside as he broached the topic at hand."Mr. Governor, if we don't think about each other, who else will?" Sebastian's words held a note of urgency as he pressed Adam for his allegiance. "The elections are on my head.
“That picture should have been a closed-door moment, Kayden. I am very against such public display of affection unnecessarily. But Eleanor… huh!!” he sighed. “She is just used to all this. After all, she is a model. Such exposure doesn’t count for her. She takes it all very lightly”Though Kayden agreed to the modeling part, he wouldn’t say that Eleanor did it all on purpose. They were not even aware of someone clicking their photo.“In a marriage, Mr. Watson” Kayden leaned back. “Both husband and wife are equally responsible to decide what part of their lives should be exposed and what should be hidden. If you are blaming Eleanor for this, I am equally to be blamed”Adam was stunned at Kayden’s continuous attempts to take Eleanor’s side. Seemed like Eleanor had circled her magic wand on her Knight husband. In one way, he was happy about it. He will just have to convince Eleanor and then she would in turn convince Kayden to get his proposal forward.“Well… I am glad that she is accust
“Eleanor.. this is seriously not a good idea. I think we should head back,” Avery muttered, biting her nails. She and Eleanor were driving to the farm house where Kayden and Max were having a night out. This was Eleanor’s plan to set things right not just for Avery but also for herself. She messed up with Kayden’s lunch and should apologize without any further doubt.Eleanor rolled her eyes at her best friend, Avery, who seemed to be in a perpetual state of worry.Eleanor leaned in, her tone oozing with reassurance. "You'll thank me later for this," she assured Avery, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Avery's concern crept into her voice as she glanced around the room, noting the masculine decor. "I doubt it. It's going to be all boys in that house. Do you really think Kayden Knight will appreciate it?" Her fingers tapped nervously on the arm of the chair.With a nonchalant shrug, Eleanor's confidence remained unshaken. "Stop fretting, Avery. I've got everything under control." She
"Eleanor..." Avery's voice broke through the tension, her tone resigned. "We should leave. These men always think they're right."Avery’s eyes filled with tears. She had seen enough drama here and wasn’t prepared for more. She held Eleanor’s wrist and tried to drag her away. But the moment she tried to take Eleanor away from this place, she felt a sharp pull from Eleanor’s end as if Eleanor wasn’t moving an inch from the spot. When she turned around, she realized it wasn’t Eleanor but Kayden who had grabbed his wife’s arm and stopped her from going anywhere. Avery wondered how to absorb this."I am not done with my wife yet," Kayden's voice sliced through the air, sharp and commanding. Avery's heart skipped a beat at his tone, her eyes widening in surprise."And neither are you with your husband Max," he added, his gaze now fixed on Avery, his expression unreadable.Avery's mind raced with confusion. What did he mean by that? She muttered shyly, unsure of how to respond to Kayden's un
