Eleanor.

I sent a text to Serena to meet me at the Old Tratum bar by seven. I didn't think she was going to come around.

It wasn't until eight pm before she showed up. She came with her face covered and she came alone. She sat in front beside me on the counter and ordered a shot.

"You look like a masquerade," I said blankly.

"I'm an actress, it's necessary. Why have you called me here at this time and hour?" I took a sip of my drink. She did the same.

" I just wanted to talk. Nothing more. About Harrison. Do you love him?" I asked. "is that why you have called me here?" she sprouted.

"I used to have a kid sister. Her name was Serena. Yh, your name. She was the most beautiful thing on this earth to me and she was a lot to me. She was family. There was this point in my life where I lost every one of them. My mom died, my dad left, and Serena died. These days, they have been coming back and the only one remaining is Serena. I miss her a lot."

"So what has this got to do with me?"

    Hendrix.It was one thing to fall in love with Eleanor at first sight, it was another thing to have her so close in the night. She wasn't kissing me back but she wasn't resisting. I needed to tell her exactly how I feel. Harrison would be sorry for treating her so badly all these days. She just sat there with her eyes closed. I kissed her, harder than I did. Her mouth opened, allowing me to slide my tongue in and out of her mouth. She kissed me back, she was done resisting. I touch her Daisy cheeks, so soft and beautiful. Magny looked away, and I almost laughed. After a few minutes, I broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. "I love you. I'm a hundred percent sure of it. She looked at me like she wanted to say something but she couldn't. She just laid her head on my shoulder in silence. I embraced her and patted her shoulder. "I can't let you go. Trust me I've tried but I swear I'm still trying to know," I started singing, "how to move on. Somebody told me but still, I don't know w

    Harrison."Have you seen her?" I asked Jay the third time and he shook his head. Where could Eleanor be at this time? "I'll come to tell you when she arrives," Jay said. I paced about my room. It was a few minutes after midnight and she wasn't back yet. If she wasn't coming back, she'd have dropped a message or something. A few minutes after Jay left, I heard a knock on my door. Already tired of getting the same response from Jay, I sluggishly opened the door."did you find~""were you looking for me?" Eleanor said and entered. "For Christ's sake, where have you been Eleanor? We have looked everywhere for you. Why are you coming this time? Why are you coming this late? I was so worried.""you didn't call me. I was just around the corner and I was talking to a friend of mine. It took longer than expected. I'm sorry for keeping you up."Her story wasn't buyable and she sounded like she didn't want to be questioned about her whereabouts. I hugged her, feeling her temperature, making sur

    Serena.Something was unusual about Eleanor. I could feel it. The way she spoke that day, and how humble she was. She lived a tough life, all her imagination. I could only imagine what she went through. I had missed calls from Jack, Henry, Tom and Dax. They were my exes, all of whom I enjoyed a beautiful time with. They were in the past now, I needed to live my own life. I should work on becoming someone for myself. I wasn't ready to receive any calls from any of them. Being humiliated by Harry was enough. He had everything. Every fucking thing. I couldn't deny that I had several affairs and I wasn't in California. He was a good detective and he knew how to play pretense perfectly well. It was over between us but I didn't feel it that much. I realized I didn't love him. It was all to make Papa happy. I called Liam and did for him everything. I didn't want to, I was scared he'd call me a failure… he did. "You are such a failure," he started. "you can't seduce a man and get on with

    Serena.I took the picture and went through it thoroughly, checking the tattoo again. There was no doubt, this was Eleanor. She looked five in the picture with a little girl which I suppose was her sister. I searched the deck, scattering all the files I sent across on the ground. I found another picture. I checked over his table and the cupboards, and he had different pictures of hers. It was driving me insane. What business did Liam have with her that made her so important that he had almost all her pictures in his office, perhaps, that was why he never allowed me into his office.I had almost twenty of Eleanor's pictures with me already and they were freaking me out. He took his time to have her pictures with him and he never showed me any of mine. Was I so insignificant?I tucked the pictures in my bag and arranged the office back, not doing too much so he wouldn't notice I was there. Nobody caught me which was a good thing and also a bad thing. If they were awake, then they want

    Eleanor."I don't know precisely what to choose. You choose," I said to Jay in the Mall. Harrison sent Jay together with me to get a wine ball gown. We have been searching for the past three hours, moving from one mall to another.Jay relaxed his hand on his hips with his other hand on his chin. After some moments, he shook his head and stood properly. "Your cleavages need to show. This isn't enough. Master gave me certain qualities to choose the dress and I'm not ready to lose my job."We checked several more dinner gowns but they weren't enough for Jay. I was helpless. I needed to get one and fast so I can sneak to see Hendrix again. I loved the last time we had together and…the kiss. Surely, Harrison can ditch me and I'm not ready to lose in two places. I liked Hendrix, he's perfect. He's not rich, he's not poor. He has a nice British accent and he is noble. We became friends without asking and this was exactly how a nice friendship should start.His beautiful smile looked similar

    Writer's PovHarrison Tolstoy and his assumed wife, Eleanor Carol walked the red carpet at exactly eight PM. They were the spotlight of the occasion, standing out in their appearance and intimacy. Eleanor, with her long wine gloves held on to Harrison so dearly. She put on a smile that was enough to capture any man's heart. Dash it all, Harrison kept his gaze on Eleanor. She was far more beautiful than he had seen her the day before but he kept his complement to himself. He was wary about the occasion. Something bigger disturbed his thoughts. He took another glance at her, the more he looked the more he thought he didn't recognize her. The creature bore no resemblance to the rosy-cheeked, hazel-eyed sylph who gazed up at him as if~well, as if he was the man and she was the woman.He spied her through the crowd as someone came to drag her from his side, claiming to want to know her better since she was his wife. Even in such a simple dress, she was more graceful and attractive than mo

    Writer's PovHarrison got a call and left the hall to speak with whomever he was talking to. Eleanor sat there, navigating the people in the hall. Most of the ladies weren't on gloves like she was and they were either on short dinner dresses or long gowns like hers but hers was too much. She did own the party. She focused on the speech Nikki gave about their company and all the videos they have been able to launch. Nikki was vibrant naturally and speaking on a stage meant merely nothing to her. Eleanor smiled when Nikki smiled at her from the stage and kept on talking, sending signals of messages to her all at once but Eleanor wasn't really concerned with the party.Deep in her thoughts, she wanted to be with Hendrix. She thought about what Magny would be doing by this time, perhaps running around and displaying his magnificent muscles with pride. Eleanor chuckled. Some people glanced at her not knowing what exactly was funny.A waiter brought her a plate of fruits and left. She was

    Writer's POV Harrison got back to his seat and didn't find his wife there. He found the plate of fruit in front of where he expected she'd been sitting. She probably had to rush off somewhere so she might come back soon. He regretted that he picked up that call. If only it weren't so difficult to speak with his family members, he'd have let them know that his uncle, Liam, was placing threats on him but his parents wouldn't listen. Oh, they all had good intentions, but he might as well have been dropped on his parent's doorstep as a baby. He resembled them~in temperament at least~not at all. His uncle insisted that he wanted Harrison's company and Harrison wasn't ready to give it up. Not that Harrison was interested in the company but he hated his uncle. His uncle was the bad egg in their family and he hated to call him "uncle". Harrison looked around and searched for his wife or did she leave already? Did she realize he was trying to stay away from her and she decided to leave him

    The sound of "Here comes the bride" echoed through the church of St Paul. A lot of people were seated in the church, waiting for the bride to come around. Eleanor was in the changing room, fighting her corset with Lina."Damn, this is tight. I could have chosen a much better dress. All in the name of fashion. What if I fail to breathe and I faint in front of my husband? Ish.""If you fail to breathe, I will pour you water. Just in case.""Emill," Lina warned."What? Have you forgotten what she did to me on our wedding day? She hid my tie and made me use a bow tie.""And it was perfect but you don't trust your best friend. That is what is wrong with you. Anyway, if you pour me water, you would owe me 5 million dollars. I would collect it from you. I know you know that.""Eleanor, you still want to bully me on your wedding day? Jeez. People change, why didn't you?" Someone knocked on the door and Emil went to pick it up. "You're not supposed to see your bride before the wedding. They s

    Writer's POVHarrison went back to his hotel and tried to think about what he could do for Eleanor. It was a hard task. He knew Eleanor wouldn't just agree to see him just like that. There was nothing he could think of buying that would be catchy to her.He went to bed, hoping the next day would be very good.*** Eleanor walked back and forth to the room. "Again, who invited Harrison? This isn't a joke. Why would one of you invite Harrison without my permission? Why?"Her mother sat on a chair, knitting stockings. "As much as I hate the boy, he still looks handsome. Did you ask him the type of cream he was using?""Mother, this is not funny. Do you know how I felt when I saw him? I was going to lose my mind. Why would you do such things behind my back?"No one was answering her. She sat in the chair, frustratingly shaking her leg. "Well, I think he's a changed person. I heard he built a house for orphans on the streets. It is also said that he is a good man and he let out all his slav

    Writer's POVHe held the child's hands and looked around as she led him to a hallway. "Magny? Where are you? Come out now. We have a visitor, he says he bears annoying Harry's name."Harrison laughed. The child was something. He found the plastic horse on the ground. He bent down and showed her the toy. Tada" "Yay! You found Magny." She hugged him. That was when Harrison perceived it. "Thank you, Uncle Harrison. I'll see you later, okay?" She said and ran off. He stood still. He could never mistake it. She smelled exactly like Eleanor. Exactly like Eleanor, he was sure of it. Come to think of it, her hair was also gray and her eyes belonged to Eleanor. If he wasn't hallucinating, then he was running mad. He closed his eyes and turned around. "I need to get them now. Mia, nice, go find Harry. Look for him, I didn't say you should hide and seek…" he heard the voice and the clacking sounds of shoes coming his way. He quickly hid in a corner.The fact that he was there wasn't the probl

    Writer's POV*Five years later*"Brother, look at this model. She also sent you a message and you still haven't replied. Why? Do you want to live like this forever? This isn't some Disney movie. I am married and you are not. People are talking," Nikki protested to her brother who was packing his bags. He wasn't paying attention to Nikki and he wasn't interested in doing so. "Brothers I am talking to you, do not ignore me.""Nikki. People are different. Some people love marriages…some don't. I don't. I need to get to the office. I am trying to lead by example."Nikki pursed her lips. "Is this because of Eleanor? Are you still punishing yourself for that? You know you deserve it but this is enough. It's been five years and you are not getting any younger. You need to find someone to get married to and have kids. Who would take care of your company when you are gone?"Harrison was dressed and tired of Nikki. He would do anything to drive her out of his house but he didn't want to push h

    Writer's POVHarrison walked around the house, screaming and throwing things apart. How would he explain it to her? She wouldn't even want to hear him out. He was done. He had to accept the fact that he would never have her again. There was no magic for him to perform.*Two hours earlier*Harrison was mild and sad, wondering and planning how he was going to meet Eleanor and get the shit out of her. Someone knocked on his door. The guards opened. For a moment he thought it was going to be Eleanor but instead, it was her friend, Candy.He knew Candy was Eleanor's friend so he thought it would be easy if he sent Candy to Eleanor so that Eleanor would at least mind meeting him."Good morning Mr. Tolstoy. How are you?" Of course, he wasn't fine. All he wanted at the moment was to see Eleanor. "I am fine," he lied. "Eleanor isn't here at the moment and Jay already took his leave. I thought he told you all that?""Oh, dear. I wasn't sure about what he was telling me on the phone and why Elea

    Writer's POVEleanor Carol dressed up in black. Luxury Black. She did her makeup and made sure everything was pitch black. She took her bag and headed out of the house. Her destination was a place she didn't want to visit but Emil just reminded her how brutally she was of that place. She entered Tolstoy's apartment. The guards didn't stop her. Every clicking sound of her shoes emitted danger. She wasn't smiling. She went in and went straight to the stables. She didn't care if Harrison was home or not. The moment she saw Magny, the horse neighed happily. I hadn't seen her for a long time. She smiled. At least something was still capable of making her smile. She related the horse. She was taking him home. She found the men that used to be there. They already knew her face so they let her be. Perhaps they had no idea Hendrix was in prison. She caressed the horse and calmed it down. It must have been so lonely staying there alone. There was no Hendrix to take care of him so she was goi

She is a scary person. Too scary," Emil grumbled and reported.He was done with his part of the chore and he wanted to sleep like Eleanor. He was just trying to be closer to Eleanor's mother. He understood why Eleanor had to take a break."You are trouble, Emil. If I were Eleanor, I would throw you something hard in the face. you would wonder why I did that to you. Do you want to sleep too or do you just want to disturb me?"Mother was done with her cleaning too, it looked like the whole house was back to being brand new. He followed Mother back to the sitting room. He just wanted to have some time with her. Emil didn't lie about the way she had been approaching and referring to him.

She should have just found an alternative rather than being in so much pain to herself.With the things she just went through, she knew it would take her a very long time to love and be loved. She trusted Harrison. She believed almost everything he said, just to figure out he was the reason why she was going through everything she was going through and he was okay with it. He didn't say a word about knowing who she was but he did all along. She watched as Mary was taken away alongside her children. There was no difference in her facial expression. As for Hendrix, he walked majestically past. She trusted him too much too.She thought she had seen a friend but it backfired on her. Eventually, she was left with Emil, the only one who stayed
