CONNECTION UNSEEN: A Love Story How audacious
Arthur. Meanwhile.The second we left the restaurant, my world felt like it had cracked open. My chest tightened with every breath, and the weight of the man’s words echoed endlessly in my mind. "My son."It didn’t make sense. None of it did. How could the man standing before me be my father? How could my mother have kept this from me? Lied to me every day of my life. From the look of things my dad was equally as shocked, she played the both of us.Eleanor squeezed my hand gently as we walked aimlessly, far away from the restaurant. I could tell she wanted to say something comforting, but what could anyone say to fix this mess? I didn’t want to hear the truth. Not from anybody."Arthur... do you want to talk about it?" Eleanor's voice was soft, like she was afraid I'd shatter if she pressed too hard. I shook my head. "Not now." We found a park bench and sat down. The late afternoon heat didn’t help; my shirt clung to me, soaked with sweat from everything that had just happened

She heard his voice before she even saw him, and a smile immediately spread across her face."Mi Amore!" he called out again as he entered the room.Matilda turned around to see her boyfriend, Marshall, standing in the doorway with a huge grin on his face. She couldn't help but feel her smile grow even wider as she saw him."Hey, you," Matilda said as she walked over to give him a hug.Marshall wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, pressing his cheek against hers. "How's my favorite chef doing?"Matilda laughed and pulled away from him, swatting his arm playfully. "I'm doing just fine, thank you very much. What brings you over here?"Marshall shrugged. "Just wanted to see my favorite person in the world, that's all."Matilda rolled her eyes but couldn't stop the grin from spreading across her face.

Eleanor slowly opened her eyes and the first pair of eyes she met were Arthur's piercing brown eyes."Eleanor!" Her mom called immediately as she ran towards her and slowly placed her hands on her head, Eleanor hissed in pain and Racheal- her Mom slowly removed her hands,"Sorry dear," she whispered."Huh huh," Arthur cleared his throat and they both turned to look at him.He stared at him with disdain and utter disgust, as far as he was concerned they were both just pretending.Just like Eleanor did to win his dad over, but the pretence couldn't just work on him."Arthur, why did you do this to me?!" Eleanor whispered, rudely interrupting his thoughts."You have no right to question me!" Arthur snapped."You should actually..." Racheal began and Arthur raised his hands to her immediately and shut her up."I have absolutely nothing to say to you," he said curtly."It's you I have business with," he whispered as he moved closer to Eleanor's bed."What's this sneaky pictures you have wi

"My son will definitely not ruin any company!""And you shouldn't speak to him in that manner because of your little poverty alleviation scheme!" Penelope, Arthur's mom and Marshall's wife, said as she walked into the house and slammed the door shut."What the hell is wrong with you Marshall,""Screaming on top of your voice?! I could hear your every word since I stepped out of the car!""What is ever that serious!" She asked as she dropped her bag in the chair."I see where he got the phrase, poverty alleviation scheme from, I should have known it was from you!" Marshall snapped."Yes?! Is it a lie?!""He is your son Marshall and you should be on his side always, not siding with a random slum citizen!""I loathe the day you met her!""You know me too well Penelope!

"You shouldn't just always let him have his way," Racheal said turning to face Eleanor."He's the head of the house now right," Eleanor whispered in reply and she shook her head."Well he hasn't behaved well enough to deserve that title !" Racheal rebuffed and Eleanor forced a smile."It's fine Mom, I could have actually taken care of the payment for space till he was ready,""Nobody is taking care of anything!" She replied."We'll bury your father this Friday and this Friday it is!""Okay Mom, I just didn't want you guys to argue again,""It's pretty much what you guys do every single time you see, he ends up leaving angrily,""And if there's one thing dad's death taught me, it's that this life is incredibly short, and we never can tell when we won't just see someone forever again," she said and Racheal nodded slowly."You're right," she whispered."But your brother just knows how to push my angry buttons," she lamented."I know, you can just try to talk things over and be a little m

Few hours Later.Eleanor.“We’re not going to the cafeteria?!” I asked as we walked into the elevator and he pressed on the ground floor, he slowly turned to me and shook his head slowly.“Ofcourse not,”“I’m treating my baby, to the best cheese in town,” he said to me, my face lit up in excitement immediately.“Ouuuuu, as tasty as Paris Comte?!” I asked snuggling closer to him, he turned to look at me and chuckled lightly. “I can’t give you my word on that though,” he said and we shared a laugh, ofcourse American cheese can beat Paris cheese, no matter who makes it. “Also my Dad wanted to meet with us, he said he has something to say,” he added and I nodded slowly with a small oh.“Yeah speaking about your dad, have you seen the accusations going around?! About the company and your mom?!” I said bringing out my phone to show it to him.“No I haven’t, and I really don’t care. I’m used to the rumors. They are not true anyway.” He said, I paused and slowly slipped the phone back in my

Eleanor. Next day. 6:30amMy eyes slowly fluttered open, it took me a while to adjust but immediately I did my gaze fell upon a pair of brown eyes staring down at me. My lips stretched into a shy smile and I slowly raised my hands to cover my face.“How long have you been staring?!” I asked in a mutter as I gently pushed myself up to sit on the bed, “Long enough to know you look extremely cute in your sleep,” he murmured in reply scooting closer to me, I felt literal butterflies in my stomach at his words, he gently raised his hands to my face and tucked my scattered hair carefully behind my ear,“Good Morning Sunshine,” he whispered and placed a small kiss on my forehead.“Good Morning Love,” I murmured in reply with a sweet smile.“Today would definitely be a beautiful day for me, I got to see your face immediately I woke up,” he said, I chuckled lightly as I gently pulled the duvet away from my body and got up.“Stop teasing me Arthur, we have work today let’s get ready,” I mutt

Meanwhile , 6:30pm Eleanor. “Alright then, I’ll take my leave now,” Lydia said to me, I flashed her a small smile and nodded slowly. “And please do the needful,” she whispered, I took my lips into my mouth and nodded slowly.“I’ll try,” I muttered in reply, she passed me one last tight lipped smile before walking out of my office. I exhaled deeply and reclined in my chair. It’s been the three days and Arthur hadn’t spoken to me in these three days, we walked past each other this morning at the entrance and he barely acknowledged my greeting, he seemed to be giving me space, a whole lot of space. He had been doing everything to avoid working together with me and it felt really obvious. I exhaled deeply again, I’ve been doing that a lot recently, I tidied up my work, picked up my bag and headed out. I walked past Arthur’s office, on a second thought I paused and walked back, I placed a small knock on the door before pushing it open and walking in. Immediately he heard my footstep

Three days later … Matilda.“I’ve spoken to Louis,” Camilla began, breaking the silence. We were currently sitting with Carson in his office, it’s been three days after our first discussion and now, based on more developments we have come to restrategize. “He did a thorough job. We have Fred’s financial records, including the transfers to that shell company tied to the mafia. It’s all there.” She continued.Carson stopped pacing and turned to face us, a glint of both relief and worry in his eyes. “That’s good, right? So we can take this to the authorities now? And end this once and for all?!” I shook my head slowly, my fingers tightening around the stack of papers on my lap. “Not yet. We have the proof, yes, but we need to secure a few more pieces before we make any moves. If we present this now without covering our tracks, I have a feeling it wouldn’t give us what we want.”Camilla leaned forward, her gaze serious. “We need to lock everything down. If we go public too soon, Fred

Minutes Later …Eleanor. I sat on the edge of my bed, my knees pulled to my chest as I stared blankly at the wall. My argument with Arthur was still echoing in my head. We had never fought like this before, not so raw and ugly. My heart felt heavy, honestly I thought I should be feeling angry but I was feeling something different, Guilt. He didn’t deserve the things I said to him.Thinking about it now, I said a lot of things I shouldn’t have, I said a lot of things I didn’t mean and I hurt him even when he tried to make things better. I took advantage of my anger and poured out all my frustrations on him, and honestly, I shouldn’t have. I heard a soft knock on my door but didn’t move. The door creaked open a moment later, and my mother walked in. She didn’t say anything at first, just walked in and sat beside me on the bed. The silence between us was thick, but comforting in its own way. She didn’t push, didn’t demand answers, just waited.“Mom,” I finally whispered, my voice bre

Meanwhile. 3:30pm.Arthur. The door creaked open, and Eleanor stepped inside without knocking. She didn’t look at me. She never did every single time since today whenever she comes into my office. Her eyes flickered toward the stack of papers on my desk—the ones related to the project we were supposed to be finishing. She crossed the room, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor, sharp and unrelenting like her silence.“Sir,” she muttered emphasizing in the sir like she had been doing since morning and it is killing me!“I need you to review the final revisions for the Miss Matilda project. The budget allocations are off by two percent, and she’s asking for an updated timeline by tomorrow,” she said, her voice steady, detached. She didn’t pause, didn’t give me a moment to respond, just pushed a file onto my desk and continued.“Mrs Penelope wants the project done and over with as soon as possible,”“The marketing team’s also waiting for your approval on the ad campaign for the

Next Monday.Matilda. “This way Ma’am,” I flashed her a hearty smile as Mr Jackson Assistant led me to his office. My grip on my bag tightened as she led the way and I followed behind her, I wanted to get everything I came here for done as soon as possible. My first and easiest Target was Fred. I had Camilla draw me up companies that Fred cheated is still manipulating to his own advantage. He makes them sign contracts and then goes against them, just because he knew they needed him to survive. This is the third CEO I was visiting today, his office was more modest office, tucked away in the industrial side of the city. immediately I stepped into the office, he looked up and gently got up to his feet to greet me with a small bow.Jackson Barnes, CEO of a local logistics company. “Matilda, I wish I could help,” he said as soon as we sat down, running a hand through his thinning hair. “But you have no idea what these people are capable of.
