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
Eleanor " You look so beautiful, sister. I could almost not recognize you." Jess's voice was full of deceit. She would never say that unless she wanted something. And now that I have accidentally met with her in the clubhouse, I have no idea what she might be planning. I rested on the counter while Emil glanced at Jess, who was standing in front of us. He didn't say a word. He probably had thousands of reasons to punch her in the face. " Jess, what do you want? Spit it out and be on your way back home. I'm sure your mother must be looking for you." I replied. I rested one shoulder on the counter and crossed my legs. " you have proven to be an unworthy sister, so guess what? I found someone else to take your place. Jess's brows came together. " you found another sister?"I nodded. " should we talk in a more quiet place?" I asked, glancing at Emil. He nodded in affirmation. " Give me a second," I said to Jess and left her presence. I needed to speak with Nikki to tell her I'll be in a
SerenaThe trip to London was engaging. Especially having Janet around to keep company. Harry was up for a surprise, he had no idea I was on my way. Driving into the city, I could barely know my way around. London had changed a lot and I have no idea why. I was only gone for a few…four years. The weather was sunny and I hated it. California was way better than this. " Are we there yet? Janet asked. I looked out the window, observing the surroundings. This was supposed to be the way but I wasn't sure. " I think it is. Perhaps I have grown worn out of the countryside, I can't remember. I sat back and thought for a while. " that the next turn to the right. The villa should be there."The driver did as I had told him and I was right. My stomach tickled, I still know the way after all. The driver stopped at the first entrance. "Who are you? What business do you have here?" a big man, dressed in a corporate suit stood at the gate, denying us the right to proceed. " Can you wind the gla
EleanorIt took me hours of thought and remuneration to figure it out. I have been used all my life. Thinking I had left the life of being used and abused, I'm currently in a worse situation right now. Nikki had gone to her room to talk with her fans online. Having Serena around was a threat." Eleanor, are you inside?" Mr. Harrison's voice pierced through the door. I kept mute. I didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. I have done it all. He has kissed me, and had sex with me, what more is there to keep?If I had stayed at home and endured the abuse, I'd still have my pride. When I get dumped, the world would mock who I have become. People would talk and I'll end up in a worse position than I used to. I hugged my knees and rested my head on them. A good life is just never meant for me. "Are you asleep?" I could hear the nervousness in his voice, his heartbeat almost matched mine. " Eleanor?" "I'm not," I said softly. "How can I help?" His shadow shifted from the space
Eleanor" Please sit. You know we cannot make noises here." Lina swiped her hands through the back of her skirt as she adjusted and sat down. I had no idea why she had to bring me to the chapel of all places, perhaps this was her way of investigating." So, over there, Miss Lina. You said my family is involved in the disappearances of some women or children. Tell me, on what evidence is this charge emerging from?" I rested my hands on the pew." This has been a very long case, Mrs Tolstoy. Given that you have only but entered into the family a few weeks ago, I'll conclude that you know little of what is going on in there. Here." She handed me a newspaper-like paper and continued. "This was a newspaper that was released about ten years ago Mrs Tolstoy but of course, you weren't aware. Take a look. The Tolstoys were charged with murder and kidnapping. Children and ladies, young ladies disappeared at that time and all
ELEANORI changed into a lead crop top and matching pants. I used my black shades and glanced at the half-heart necklace that was lying on my neck. I have no idea how it would feel to see my stepmother's face again.*Jay drove slowly to my neighborhood. The rough scent of spring, I could perceive it again. The ground looked welcoming and appraising. That smell of moist soil. Jay stopped the car in front of my house. I took several deep breaths, I doubt I was ready to go inside."I am going to accompany you, Mrs Tolstoy. Be sure no harm would come to you." Jay was right. No harm can come to me, surely. I took a final sigh and tried to ignore the loud sounds that came from my heart.I stepped out and rang the bell. I straightened my dress and the door opened up. That devious face and evil aura, it was still with her. "Oh! What a wonderful surprise. You're welcome." Ste
Eleanor “Stop the car.” the curiosity bothering me wouldn’t allow me to just seat back in the car and do or say nothing. Jay glanced at me from the front mirror and fixed his focus back on the road. “I said stop the fucking car!!! Stop it! Just stop the car!” I screamed aloud enough for him to stop the car beside the road allowing the car to make a screeching sound. I jacked open the door and stormed outside. "Are you okay? Eleanor?" Jay asked rushing to meet me beside the door where I was pacing back and forth. " do I look okay to you? Huh? Okay, we should just have this conversation now. Tell me, what exactly is going on in that house? You would know. Did Mr. Harrison do that to my brother? What about August? I haven't heard from him in a very long time yet nobody would tell me exactly what is going on. Say something!""Please calm down and get back to the car. It is late and we aren't really in a good place to talk." I looked around. He was right, we were surrounded by bush and a
