Writer's POV"What about Liam, did he call you again?" Eleanor asked Serena. Serena sipped her juice. "I have stayed with mother enough and it baffles me that I am at peace. Liam didn't call me or set a spy on me. I always knew when he had a spy on me. He has been…silent which is abnormal for him. He never does that.""So you are trying to say that he already knows that you know who you are?""No, but I guess so. I was desperate to know who I was so I was disturbing him a lot but lately, I have been staying on my own and I haven't been calling or texting him don't you think he would figure out that something is wrong somewhere?"Eleanor sighed and nodded. She adjusted the first button on her shirt. "You should visit him. That should cool his mind in the meantime. I told him I was going to try to seduce Harrison. How do I allow him to understand that I tried it and it would look awkward, seeing him once again after realizing what he has done to me."Serena's phone rang. "Talk of the de
Writer's POV.Eleanor laughed hard. Liam was getting insane. Why would he make such up and try to divert her attention? She understood what he was trying to do but she had a lot on her hands than to worry about what Liam was telling her at the moment. Perhaps after the next day, Eleanor would treat Liam's hallucinations then.She stood up moderately, making no sounds with her legs or her chair. She took her bag and looked at Liam. "Sir, I am so sorry to disrespect or hurt you in any way but I am not the daughter you are looking for. You may be having hallucinations. I don't even know you. You just called me out here and the next thing you are telling me is that you are a menu father. I'm sorry but I know my father and he is the only Father I know. I am going to be with Harrison and there's nothing you can do about it. Good day sir."Eleanor walked out of the restaurant, shaking her booty and walking with charisma. She went back to Emil's house. By the time she got there, Emil was up a
Writer's POVHarrison still wasn't sure what Hendrix was talking about. Hendrix kept on saying he was the reason for Eleanor's misfortune. He shook his head. Eleanor didn't know anything yet and he hoped she wouldn't.He checked the letter he got again from the brand he was working with recently. Why would they want to meet in the old Gardford? It wasn't his business anyway. All he wanted was to do the job and get back to Eleanor, find a way to get to her mother and apologize and they would live and love happily ever after. When it was five pm, he took a quick bath and wore his favorite suit. He heard the company was bigger than his and they were of high standards, perhaps that was why they wanted to meet him in the old Gardford. He knotted his tie and looked in the mirror. Eleanor would have been a better mirror. He took his small car and drove off. There's nothing bad about being too early.***It was some an hour after five. Eleanor couldn't help but think Liam was up to no good
Writer's POVEleanor woke up very early. She didn't wait for Emil or Harrison. She didn't even go to check if they were awake. She took her bath and went to Emil's wardrobe. It had a lot of her dresses so it was easy for her to just stretch her hand and pick one up. She looked closely enough. She was excited. Excited.She was ready to do this and she hoped the persecutor would do justice to the hearing. She took an office dress and decided that would be the perfect wear for the day's occasion. She wore her blue suit and pants and wore a cream shirt underneath it. She sat in front of the mirror and carefully did her makeup. Nikki usually called it DIY.She missed Nikki though, she heard she traveled to study in Canada. When she was done, she curled her hair and let it fall on her shoulders. She put on her blue earrings. Today had to be perfect. She didn't want to overdo things.She sat and scrolled through her phone. She called her Mom. "Eleanor. It's today. I have dressed already. I h
Writer's POVThe attorney there asked for the evidence. The prosecutor and the defendants handed the evidence to them. Eleanor wasn't enjoying what she was seeing. The court was too silent and boring. She wanted them to ask for her opinion so that she could spout out everything she wanted to.Too eager, she tapped her foot on the ground. Twice per second. She waited patiently. The evidence was collected and they started with the questions. The attorney stated, " The defender was said to have been murdered on the sixth day of November. She killed her supposed husband and took his company without the consent of her first child of Gabriel. The court can now start with the witnesses."The jury stood up and called for the first witness of the defender, Stevie Ricco to go and have their say. The young man went into the court and took the court oath. The jury asked, "You claim to be with Mary when Gabriel died?" The man nodded. "How did you know that Gabriel was dead when she was with you?
Writer's POVEleanor stood up with full confidence. As if she had a whole file of what she wanted to say in her head. She went inside the box and stood with the panel. She took the oath. The whole "I swear to say the truth and nothing but the truth.." sounded unnecessary to her. She was going to tell them everything that happened and how it did."I want to say everything that has to do with me. All of it. Three weeks ago, I figured my Father didn't talk to me. He wasn't picking up my calls and he never dropped any messages. That was on a Friday. I called Jess and asked to see Father, she told me Father went on a trip.""Who is Jess?" The jury asked. "Jess is my stepsister. Mary's daughter.""Okay, go on." Eleanor nodded and continued, "I went home to see it myself but Jess didn't allow me in. She was so nervous. She didn't even allow me to peep in. I left and went back another day but I went with me…" she tried to find the word she could use to describe Harrison at the moment. "...my
Writer's POVEleanor looked at the number of people who raised their hands. There were almost five of them. She looked from their hands to their faces. The first hands she found were Jess's and Van's. There was also Emil beside her. She wanted to give him a knock. Why does he have to cause trouble?She didn't worry about whatever he wanted to say, he might be thinking about another thing. The judge allowed Jess to go first. Jess took the oath and stood in the panel. She was nervous, perhaps she was having stage fright."G…good afternoon everyone. I want to tell you exactly what happened. The day Father came back, Mother wasn't so pleased with it. She told me to stay away from him as much as possible. I didn't like it but my mother restricted me. When my mother came back one day, she cooked and told me not to eat it. I asked her why, and she told me it was poisoned. I wanted to leave the house but she wouldn't let me. I didn't want to have a hand in what she was doing but I had no othe
Writer's POVThe courtroom was quiet. Everyone was waiting for Mary to talk. if a pen dropped, the whole courtroom would hear it. Someone shifted his seat at the back, disrupting the silence. Mary pointed her Index finger past Eleanor. "That is the father of my children."Eleanor looked back and saw Liam. Just when she thought she had seen it all. Liam? Liam!!! Here she was, thinking about what could go wrong. How was it possible that he was with Mary and he still wanted to give her mother a hard time? He has dragged himself into the whole story. What was he doing there in the first place? "Ohhhhh," Eleanor said, making an "o" shape with her mouth. She closed her mouth and smirked. Could this get any more interesting? The court asked that he be brought to the panel. He was caught attempting to leave the courtroom when she pointed to him. Liam has been messing with their family since they were kids, why?"And who is the second person? The one who told you to kill Gabriel?" Mary cover
