Eleanor I slowly awakened from my short slumber, or so it seemed. I felt a slight headache and a little bit of dizziness. I raised my head up in an attempt to figure out where I was but my vision was still blurry. I blinked hard and navigated where I was. I was alone in a dark room with a lit candle as the only source of light. The room smelled of wet rusted iron. It looked old and deserted. I thought it could be used for a horror movie. I tried standing up then I realized I was tied down to a chair. I hissed in frustration. I tried to Frey the rope without making noise. I wasn't ready to call my abductors around and spread the message that I was awake. But they knew already. “ Darling, you're awake. It was about time.” It was a voice I could never forget. Not in this lifetime. The place looked haunted and old and it was dead silent. August's voice echoed when he spoke. I looked at him in disgust. Was he so cowardly that he couldn't come to me in a more apparent way? I tried going a
HarrisonThe music was smooth and people were dancing around. Dancing wasn't really my thing and I doubted Eleanor would know how to dance either. A lot of people had bothered me already, Eleanor must have been sick of them, perhaps that's why she was nowhere in sight. Or maybe she's with her lover. I rested on the wall beside the main door. I didn't want to ruin my habiliment anymore.I checked the time and wondered if Eleanor ran away already. At least the world already knows her as my wife, the news would get to Serena soon. “ Hi…..sir,” Emil said as he barged in from the door beside me. There was restraint present in his voice as he spoke and he didn't look so pleased to see me. “ Can we talk outside for a minute?”It was surprising and I was really inquisitive about whatever he wanted to talk about. He went outside without waiting for me to reply him. He looked more fierce than when I first met him with Eleanor. I followed him and met him outside with a hand in his pocket and a
HarrisonIt was a rough drive back home. With Eleanor still unconscious in the back seat, my mind and body couldn't settle. I don't even know if she's still alive. I pulled over at the front of the main door when I got home. I was so fast to a halt, my car screeched. I hurriedly carried Eleanor out and took her to my room. " Helena!!!!" I called out. Eleanor's temperature was high, and I disregarded the fact that she was totally naked. I placed her on my bed and sat next to her. I tapped her cheek continuously and mildly. " Eleanor! Fucking wake up!"I used my finger to find her pulse from her wrist. Even though I didn't know how exactly it was done, I was a bit relieved that it was beating. Her body was hot, almost heating. What in the universe did August do to her?Helena ran inside and covered her mouth when we saw the state Eleanor was in. Helena checked Eleanor's body and eyes with her mouth. She was the closest we have to first aid in the house." Sir…I think she was injected.
EleanorI woke up from a very bad nightmare. I rolled on my bed from left to right. Perhaps because of the nightmare I had, I was being delusional. The bed seemed harder and larger than mine but I was probably just wondering.The sun started peeking over the houses through the window and highlighted the beauty of the room. This wasn't my bed, nor was it my room. Several servants were working outside, their boots hitting the strong wood of the house. The door was opened and I saw Mr Harrison with a bunch of servants. They all gathered around him. After a minute, they started heading towards me as a group.I yawned openly. Amongst the group of servants were Helena and Susan. They looked worried and rushed to me first. " My lady, are you okay? Are you wounded?" Helena asked." I'm fine. Perfectly fine. What's the occasion? Why am I here? Did something happen to me again?" I inquired." No," Susan burst, " you looked pale yesterday but you seem fine. What would you like for breakfast? Th
EleanorGradually, I walked close to Mr. Harrison. Candy and Jay dispatched, both their cheeks burning red from embarrassment. " This is my old friend Candy. Candy, meet my husband." I introduced. I wasn't sure how Mr Harrison was going to react but I was trying my best to make him act calm and nice.Candy cleared her throat and straightened her suit. She walked to Mr. Harrison and extended her hand. " Good evening Mr. Tolstoy. It's nice to meet you." To my surprise, Mr. Harrison shook her hand. He came further in and sat on the couch. I sat beside him, waiting for Candy and Jay who were both standing together." Erm…I was just leaving, Mr Harrison. I'll see you next time." Candy said in haste. " Why the rush? I just got here. Do you mind staying the night? I have a lot of room and I assure you, you would enjoy it. Come, have a seat." Mr. Harrison said.Candy exchanged glances with Jay then she looked at me. I nodded slightly and she came to sit across us. " Jay …where do you think yo
SerenaRidiculous as it may sound, I have found myself in this big picture that is now on fire. I can only depend on someone who's merciful enough to save me from my foolish decisions. And that someone had to be Harry.I crossed my legs as I brooded on a soft fluffy office chair. I am an actress, I am proud of what I have become and how I have come to reach this position. I stared at the ceiling, I should get a real life and start something up.I didn't earn my first capital all by myself. It was an absurd topic that I didn't want to think of or talk about. And Harry must not learn of it. I am living the best life, not the best legacy.I took the cup of tea that Janet had put on the table for me. She is my assistant and my make-up artist. Someone I trust with anything when it comes to my schedule and Facetime.The tea was already cold, it had lost its taste. I looked over at the young Mister that was lying naked on the bed. I didn't bother to get his name, he was going to leave soon a
Harrison." So what of your Father?" I tossed the book I had been reading aside and looked up at Eleanor, who was sketching something on her sketchpad in the parlor. Candy and Jay were still with us in the sitting room, trying to figure out what was happening with Eleanor's Father. I left them a few minutes ago to take a call from Serena. A call I had been anticipating. " We've been gisting for nearly five hours now since breakfast, and I haven't heard a word about him. You aren't here too. "" Hush." Eleanor flicked a glance at the corners of the house. " I needed everywhere to be quiet. There's a spy in this house. Not a servant, a guard. And something tells me he's here now o gather Information about me."" Don't be silly," I responded, sitting up and interlocking my fingers. " I know every one of my guards, and I have interrogated them thoroughly. All of them. And if there is a spy, he would know better than ge
Eleanor." Honestly, Eleanor. Four gowns are not nearly enough for my weekly shopping. How do I do that? Nah." Candy protested, her lap full of fine clothes from my wardrobe. " I wear at least four ghetto dresses in two days. C'mon. Because I'm dressed in a suit? I am like this because I came here and besides, it looks good on me." I shook my head, chuckling softly. " You should change your lifestyle. Honestly. You look so good in these dresses and looking decent would make Jay proud. Don't you think?"" Are you denying me my pleasure?" Candy held up a gown. " Uf, this looks nice." She folded it into the bag I had, which was almost full. My wardrobe looked awful. " You can have this too. It's made of fine silk. I got it from the Dwagor market. They sell the best there."Candy sat next to me with the bag on her lap. " I'll come back, Eleanor. I'll make sure I do." She hugged me, zipped the bag up, and walked out. I followed her out of the house. Jay was nowhere to be found but she see
