Writer's POVEleanor woke up in the bedroom. Her mind went back to when she was with Serena and they were talking. She felt a slight headache and sat up, resting her back on the wall. Someone came in and dropped a bowl on the table. "You're awake," she said.Eleanor looked up and found Serena. She smiled. She still has someone to keep the memories of her Father with. "You're still here. Isn't it late already?" "I will be staying with you tonight. You suddenly fainted when we were downstairs and you need to stop crying." Serena rubbed off a tear on Eleanor's cheek. Eleanor had no idea she was crying. The tears seem to have their plans for her.Serena cooled Eleanor's head with the damp towel. Eleanor can't count the number of times she had been treated with a damp towel in Harrison's house. She always got into one problem or the other."Serena, you grew so well." To Eleanor, she was seeing Serena for the first time. Serena sat beside her. "I can't apologize enough for everything I hav
Writer's POV"Careful. Do you have a tight grip on her shoulders?" Eleanor asked Lina as they carried her mother back into the house. They successfully laid her on the couch. "I knew it. Should have told her about this earlier than this. She must be so tired and surprised by what she heard." Eleanor sat and laid her mother's head on her lap. Her mother was still conscious although it was hard for her to breathe. it turned out that she lost her balance when she heard that Serena was her daughter.She opened her eyes and looked at Eleanor. Her face was still pale from shock. Eleanor helped her mother up and settled her down. She gave her a cup of water. Her mother rushed it down her throat and got a hold of her breath. She looked at Eleanor."So tell me. Tell me all I heard was nothing but the truth." Eleanor didn't respond. She looked at Serena who was looking at her toes. She must be blaming herself for what happened to Mother some minutes ago. "Are…are you…Serena? My Serena?"Serena
Writer's POV"It's umm… it's gorgeous. I kind of love it." Eleanor held the piece of art, replacing her heart with it and handling it with care. She could feel Harrison's strong hands fold around her waist. The way he was touching her, his breath and heartbeat…she was calculating every bit of it. "So, what did I score? I did a lot didn't I?""How did you…it's so…flawless. I'll give you one out of a hundred." She chuckled. Harrison grumbled. "Why would you give me such a score? He rested his palms on his hips and pouted. Eleanor laughed; he looked like a young princess-king. She had never seen him look so innocent.Was it possible that Mother saw someone else? Harrison wouldn't do such a thing. Should she ask him nicely? Or should she tell him? This wasn't the time. She always had bad timing."What are you thinking about? You have been staring into space for a long time." She blinked after hearing him. She tapped his chest. "I gave you one because I am ninety-ninth percent you have me
Writer's POVHarrison paced around, touching each end of the wall when he reached there. Eleanor's actions weren't expected and it bothered him. She just barged inside and said all sorts, asked for things and he told her and she left just like that. It has been days now and she wasn't even picking up her calls.The woman she was asking about, sounded determined to know if he tortured her. He sat down. Eleanor was driving him mad. These things shouldn't matter to him but he had no rest of mind and body. He needs to meet Eleanor quickly and make things right. He would be torturing himself by not seeing her at all.He hadn't seen her or spent time with her for a very long time. Most times, he would eat alone and hallucinate. Perhaps, he should get himself busy with something. Something like finding out what Eleanor was up to. She had been looking for something and she never mentioned what it was. Now, her father died and she was still not sleeping in his house.He took his coat and swung
Writer's POVHarrison stood up and adjusted his coat. "I wasn't taking my time. I didn't know it was already a year. You can do as you please Eleanor but be rest assured that I would not let you be and I would get you back into my house but it is still understandable. I would let you be." He left with the door open. Eleanor stood up and closed the door. She joined Emil in the room and checked out the things they bought from the hall on their way back from the police station. They already had the evidence they needed. All she had to do now is to find out when she was going to go and get her father's corpse from the house. She couldn't allow them to stay in the house with the body and leave it just like that.She wanted to forgive Van and Jess but the way Jess acted to her made her change her mind. They were all going to face the law. Her feeble heart has turned to stone and she has turned blind eyes to the cute things. The world is brutal and the people in it are selfish. They all wan
Writer's POVHer mother didn't take It slightly. She was all over the body on the couch. Serena was also in tears but mildly. Her mother was wailing. Eleanor tried not to cry and raised her head whenever the tears threatened to fall. Emil waited for her outside. Eleanor tapped Lina and called her aside. "Eleanor, are you okay?" She said with a very emotional tone. Eleanor tried not to react and smile. "I am trying to be okay. I don't know if it is okay to leave him here till the trial is over in three days. I am working on something and I didn't want him to disturb me. I also saw it as an opportunity to make mom meet him for the last time."Lina immediately nodded and held Eleanor's shoulders. "It's okay Eleanor. Everything is okay with me, I just want to know if you are okay. Are you eating well?" If only she knew what she ate before leaving the house. She nodded with a smile and returned to the sitting room. Seeing her mother cry was tempting her to cry but this wasn't the time to
Writer's POVShe shook her head. "Where? What are you trying to tell me, Harrison?" She bent to her right side. She needs to play her cards right, if not, she would get burst. Harrison scratched his head. He definitely couldn't bring himself to tell her about the house he had been keeping girls and where he kept her mom. She didn't want to hear about it. "I wanted to confirm something but it looks like I got it all wrong. It was about the woman you asked about when you came to my house. I…just… never mind."She smiled internally. She wasn't dumb after all. He looked at her, locking his gaze on her. Those blue eyes. This was the moment she was supposed to take her eyes away and walk out of him but that became a hard thing to do. She managed to look away but her eyes immediately went back to seek his. he was doing the eyes thing and he knew how it was affecting her. She closed her eyes and turned her back against him. "Okay then. If that is all you have to say. You might want to take
Writer's POVAs if a big bell was placed on Harrison's head and banged with an iron, that was how surprised Harrison was. He looked at her blankly, not sure of what to say to her next. She was the one he was looking for. Perhaps, he should have just left and not waited for her at all, then he wouldn't be receiving such news and that wasn't the worst part. The woman was her mother.Now it was understandable why she didn't want to see him but he was still confused. "Do you know what you are saying? I have known this woman since I was a kid. She was always upset." He doubted if she would want to know that her mother was like a servant to them before they kept her in the other old house.He didn't know exactly why the whole family passed her around. She even worked in the house he was living in before she was taken to another house. He didn't know why but he was a master kind of person to her. How would he reconcile with the person he wants to make his wife?Tears lurked around the corner
