Chapter 3: Indefinite Hope

2024-10-29 19:42:56Eleanor’s POV
I did not anticipate that my unplanned husband could be as demanding as he could. In the evening, when he deliberately called me, he unquestionably insisted that we meet quickly the following day, which is today, because he is busy enough and has a hectic schedule to handle our particular issue. He did not even worry to ask me if I was available today. Gladly, I have insufficient plans for today. He should be thankful because I favor his selfish suggestions.
“Where are you headed?" I caught dad drinking his coffee here in the living room on my way out.
“Just merely meeting some friends.”
“Do you have enough funds?”
“Yeah, I am fine! It’s a miracle that you seem not to be busy any longer.” “Nah, I am just taking a 20-minute break.”
“Wonderful, I must go now, dad. I am running a bit late.” I was about to leave, but I fell the envelope which contains the certificate in front of dad. He looked at it and decided to pick it up. Gosh! It is in his hands at the moment—the greatest mystery I am hiding from him. I brought that for verification to my meeting with Zayn!
“What is this, Eleanor?” He is acting to open it, but then,
“I am overly clumsy!” I chuckled and snatched it from his hand. He glares at me like he is being suspicious.
“Eleanor Stein, what’s inside the uncertain envelope?”
“The silly file that Mia sent me, I am going to return it to her. Promise, you won’t want to look at it anymore. It is girl stuff.” I resumed the awkward reason I said to him the past day.
“If you say so,”
“Sayonara, dad!”
--
“Where is he? He ordered me to be here at precisely 10 a.m., but he is the one who is late! I keep looking wretched and lonely here in the café for the following minutes.” I lifted my phone and opted to text the phone number he used to call me.
To: *Unknown Number
You have the greatest courage to ask me to be here at exactly 10 a.m., but then you are the one who is late. Where are you? You are wasting someone’s time.
Sent!
We haven't had a chance to get to know each other yet, but I'm already annoyed with him.
“I’m right behind you.” I once again heard the attractive voice from the call last night. He leisurely whispered right into my ear. I even smelled his scent without glaring at him, and it is as appealing as his voice.
I turned my head to see him, and to my surprise, a very tall, good-looking, and well-suited man is standing behind me. His appearance conjoins with the dream man I have imagined since I was a child. A thick eyebrows, gleaming eyes, tall nose, kissable red lips, and a masculine body. He is wearing a dark blue suit which makes him more elegant.
“Hi, my wife.” I am pretty sure my cheeks turned like a fresh red tomato similar to my interaction with Dylan, but I quickly realized what is presently happening. I nearly neglected that I am annoyed at him.
“Would you care to explain the reason for your tardiness? I thought that time was the most precious thing to you. I was sitting here alone for almost 30 minutes.”
“Snap out of it. I had an urgent situation with my business meeting. Please, let’s talk quickly. A lot of massive people are waiting to talk to me, more important than you.” That left me speechless, I only rolled my eyes as a response as he sat in front of me.
“By the way, you look slightly familiar to me.” I continued.
He was the most charming Alpha from Mia’s birthday party that happened 5 months ago! That was the only time I remembered us meeting! That was the evening when it was tough for me to attend because dad almost rejected me from going.
“Do you know someone named Mia Ellison?”
“Yes, we have a common friend together.”
“Did you go to her birthday celebration five months ago?”
“Why are you asking such things—”
“Just answer it!”
“Yes, I went there.”
“Were you drunk?”
“Is this a meeting to abolish our marriage or an interview?”
“Of course, that is our primary and major agenda! But we need to recall first where did all this come from? So, were you drunk?!” I repeatedly questioned.
“Easy, tiger. Yes, I was.” “Me neither!” “So?”
“Ugh, whatever! Hang on, just sit right there and order anything. Let me just contact her. Maybe she has vivid answers.”
“Make it quick.” He says as he grabbed the menu of the café. I glared at him terribly. Gradually, my irritation with him is arising all over again.
I hurriedly dialed Mia’s phone number and began buzzing her phone.
“Yep? Mia on the line!” She enthusiastically answered.
“Mia! Get here at the café across the street from your house! I am with somebody named Zayn, and you have a lot of concerns to simplify to us.”
“You mean the handsome Zayn? What are you doing there with him? Is he your boyfriend? Why didn’t you say a word to me?!”
“What?! No!”
“Then why?”
“He is my husband.” I made an effort to lower my voice. She did not respond back, but I happen to hear someone muttering at her on the line.
“Sorry, it was Emma. Anyway, I’m coming right away! You need to explain certain things to me!” She then replied. The call ended.
Actually, she is the one who should explain things to us.
“What now? Could she help?” He boringly asked after taking some orders from the waiter.
“Yes. We’ll just wait for her to come.”
“I just want this issue to be resolved as fast as we can. Important things are catching up not just in my life but also in yours. We can’t be tied together, forever.” He justified. Wow, he bothered to consider my point of view.
“We have mutual feelings.” He is as cold as ice. Now I met an Alpha who is sweet, which is Dylan, and an Alpha who is harsh which is Zayn. Well, I could not criticize him. What happened to us was precisely wrong.
--
“Can you explain this to us?” I dropped the certificate on the table for Mia to see.
“So, it is accurate. My older sister was the one who validated your marriage, which reminds me, both of you were heavily drunk because of excessive drinking throughout my birthday.” Right, we have a liquor business, but my alcohol tolerance is not as decent as it is.
“The peer teased the both of you because you two were sweetly dancing on the dance floor.”
“What?!” We both reacted with a hesitant tone of voice.
“Furthermore, my sister is a member of the council that is authorized to conceal a marriage. Everyone asked both of you if you were willing to marry each other, and you agreed without hesitation.”
“We were totally drunk!” Zayn and I spoke in chorus once again.
“Everyone was tipsy that night. Besides, you both signed the marriage certificate and agreement after exchanging drunk and silly vows without refusing.” Mia remained giving details.
“Why didn’t you tell me any of this earlier?”
“I didn’t also remember! I was completely drunk as the both of you are.”
“Did we kiss?” My eyes widened from his question.
“What a ridiculous question, Zayn!” There are other questions to ask, but still he bothers to ask that. I do not want to even know about it.
“Is it horrendous to know who stole my first kiss?”
“Really Zayn? That was your first kiss?! Eleanor too!” Mia reacted.
“So, we did.”
“Yes, you sealed your marriage with a kiss under the white full moon.”
“Stop right there, Mia. "I have no intention of obtaining such information." I spoke.
“What plans are you two considering? Marriage life is tough and tricky.” Mia concerned.
“Divorce.” Zayn and I both murmured.
“But why? I suppose you have a cute relationship together.” She slurs.
“Marriage is not for me. Relationships are inevitably outside of my interests. I need to focus more with my business and that pack that I am taking care of.” Zayn coldly explained. Why am I getting attracted to how cold he is? It makes him more mysterious.
“Me too. I have other important things to do.” I followed.
“Like what? You were just grumbling about how nothing is arising in your life yesterday.” Mia murmured which made me speak...
“My dad set me up for an arranged marriage, and I need to be quite committed to it.”
“Really?! To whom?!” Mia's eyes almost fell open in surprise.
“Let’s just talk about this at another time, Mia. Everything is stressing me out.” I hissed at her.
“Well, if you both want a divorce, then you will have a huge crisis. Corresponding to what my older sister informed me, getting a divorce is the toughest task. Long duration and patience are also needed. You must demonstrate to the council that your relationship failed through a variety of concepts."
“But your older sister is a part of the council, and she knew what transpired, why wouldn’t we just talk to her?” Zayn has a point.
“We can’t. The council has eight members. One versus seven is not enough. In addition, both of you would also suffer the loss of the memory you had from the first day you met each other, and it would be sanctioned by a White Witch. In my opinion, it is better if both of you persist in your marriage. Everything is just too much hassle. After all your arduous work, it still depends on the council if your relationship is worthy of being unbound.”
Of all people, why did this happen to me? My primary goal now is to simply comply with my father's wishes without considering my feelings anymore, but why all of a sudden is it all becoming too heavy?

Eleanor’s POVZayn let out a profound sigh once he heard that. A big disappointment can be seen on his bare face. Honestly, even if he looks hot and alluring, he could also appear as frightening as he can.“I can't believe how irresponsbile I was. Well, that’s going to be a tough and stringent job,” He finally spoke and conditioned himself with his serenest mood.“Under those circumstances, we should establish and execute strategies that we must do in order to have a successful outcome and escape this dreadful nightmare.”“Excuse me? It’s not a dreadful nightmare being wedded to me.” I appealed. I felt offended by what he stated. “I don’t really mind. Whether you are the person I am tied to or not, I still don’t want to be espoused.”“Perhaps there is a lot of melancholy in your life.”“Are we seriously going to talk about how my life works now? Do you think that is what importantly matters most at this point?” He earnestly raised one of his eyebrows at me.Mia looked at me, expectin

Eleanor’s POV“So, tell me more about him! Where did your dad find him? Is he a wonderful and fine person? Would you let your dad interfere with your life again like he always does? Don’t tell me he consented to it.” Mia threw me a bunch of questions and unlikely opinions. She doesn't want me to give my full permission to what my father says about my life from then on.“Mia, it’s my choice to agree with the said arranged marriage, so don’t particularly blame him. He said it would be for my betterment. Mia, I want my situation to be entirely hidden from my dad and from my fiancé. I will resolve this on my own.”“I seriously like Uncle William since he is very approachable and welcome to me, but Eleanor you spurn to love that person you are going to marry. Marriage is for someone you sincerely love.” She expressed her concern.“Really? Take a look at what happened between me and Zayn. We barely even know each other.” I rolled my eyes.“That’s a distinct case! By the way, is he handsome?

Eleanor’s POV Until now, I cannot still comprehend how did I survive the last interaction that happened between me, Mia, Zayn, and Dylan. The tension that occurred around us has a mixture of awkwardness, uneasiness, and the feeling of not being fully cozy with each other. Mia and I were just controllably looking at each other and transmitting signals with the movement of our eyes. While Zayn and Dylan had mostly debated about their own companies and positions which made me really feel indisposed. Anyways, a week has already passed since that uncanny and unnatural meeting. After that, I and Zayn did not have the right schedule to meet up and talk about the divorce that we are planning to succeed at. I am even getting shy with Mia’s older sister because she is also trying to adjust her schedule just to fit in with us. Unluckily, a week already ended normally, yet we still did not have any progress. For the whole seven days, my father was completely bragging me with Dylan and Dylan’s

Eleanor’s POV“...and we have a winner here! Wow, a hundred thousand dollars?! Congratulations Mister. Please come here in front to be acknowledged by everyone.” So, he really is the one I saw ahead of time.With the price that Zayn dropped, the host already declared him the winner. I have also witnessed how the crowd reacted and their reactions were subtle.But despite all of that, Dylan’s reaction is what I am most worried about. Up from here, I could see his head depressingly bent over. I feel sorry for him, but I need to take upon what destiny made me enter.“Wow, it is Mr. Zayn Blaine! Actually, let me take back what I have said. You don’t need to introduce yourself because I am free from doubt that everyone here knows you. Ladies and gentlemen, the youngest CEO that can be found around this prestigious event.” At the moment when everyone clapped, I observed how Dylan walked away, holding a grudge in his hands.Where could he possibly go? I am concerned with his actions. I should

Eleanor’s POV What took place yesterday evening in the bar made me hugely upset with Dylan. I mean, he does not need to make a scene and hurt someone. I do clearly get the point of where he is coming from but I think punching someone directly in the face is too much. He does not know what sportsmanship means during those times and he principally let his feelings gaze into his anger. The host clearly explained that the game is supposed to be friendly and when I and Zayn were hanging out together, we are even not letting our skins come in contact with each other. Because of what happened, both of our fathers knew about what happened and they are more displeased than I am. Not just to Dylan, but to what happened at the game. I and Dylan are here at my dad’s office, waiting for them to arrive from their trip. “Eleanor, my apologies. I totally regret my actions last night. I was not using my neurons well.” “Just to be honest, I was precisely disappointed with you, Dylan. Technically, t

Eleanor’s POVI thought I can no longer escape and be free from my father’s hands once I got out of my room because of various immeasurable questions that he is throwing me. He seems to be doubting me during those minutes. I felt like it is my final judgment day, and he is the one who will judge if I passed the test or not. He is carefully checking if I am going out with Zayn or whoever else. I am getting underway to feel tightness from his orders, constantly.I just really hope that he will not pay someone just to follow every step that I am going through and report everything to him.It was up to scratch that his secretary called him which is why he needed to pull himself out of the house again and did not have time to stop me from where I was about to go.Now, I have been telling the story to Mia and her reaction was beyond belief. She keeps on asking and letting me persistently say to her the most peak part of the narrative.“Really? Dylan threw a hard punch right on Zayn’s most h
Engaged With The Two Exceptional Alphas Chapter 10: Initiation
Eleanor’s POVGlad to survive again a crisis moment when Mia saw my father entering the restaurant we are currently dining in. It is an advantage that I made her known that dad does not want to see me and Zayn together, for real. We carefully pulled out of the restaurant, trying our best, especially me to secure my unrecognized presence. Well, if that means I am still here, then I am still surviving difficulties. I could not believe myself to be in the hardest situation at the moment. I remember before when I was just simply wishing for my life to have a thrill, and this is what I got. Because of how boring and plain my life was preliminary to this time, I even wished for problems to visit my life. I guess what they say is true to life, be careful about what you wish for. Now, I do have an enormous problem. I am presently waiting for Dylan to be done with his work in their office. As usual, our fathers again are pushing us to be with each other. However, there is a slight warning an
Engaged With The Two Exceptional Alphas Chapter 11: Not Totally Free
Eleanor’s POVI am glad that I do not have plans this day connected to my dad, Uncle Ben, and Dylan. It is not that I am not in favor of being with them, it is because I am sick of continuing to plan a marriage that I do not even have a say about. As time passes, sudden realizations are occurring while I am doing random things, especially when I stay in the shower. Marriage should be arranged this way, I ought to be married to someone I love and someone who truly loves me and sees the purity inside me.Notwithstanding, it is a bit ironic. I am sensing my audacity to say such a thing while I am married to a person I barely know. I don’t even know Zayn’s exact birthday and the names of his parents.I am not yet sure if that certified person is Dylan. Think of various possibilities, I could not really see him as my lover. In fact, as we bond together, I am seeing him as an older brother or a friend who is always there to support my back. But I can say that it could possibly change especi

Eleanor’s POVAfter a long time of hoping for us to meet, finally we are facing each other’s face right now. I missed her a lot. Of people that I have been wanting to meet after my resurrection from that camouflaged house at the forest, Mia is the first option for me to meet. I was just done telling her my story and she has been totally astonished of every single thing that happened especially on the part while I was nearly being captured by death. “I cannot believe that your own sister and her mother did that to you! If I will have the chance to see those persons, I will truly remove every piece of their hair until they get bald.” She is more angrier than I am. Well, that is normal for the two of us since she has a more fierce attitude than I do. She is a total war-freak more than I am.“Don’t worry because they are now locked in a silver cage and will never come out until dad or Zayn says so. As for me, that is already a fine punishment for them. I do not agree of killing them beca

Eleanor’s POV"The moon-goddess? I have never heard of that. Who is she, and what is her relation to us again?" I think I heard of her before, but I am not able to recap my memories now due to insufficient rest. I am totally dehydrated, hungry, and not in the mood for any realizations. "To explain who I am to you, Eleanor, I am someone in your life. I chose the destined partner for you, which is Zayn." My mouth just opened, and I cannot utter a word. "I am overwhelmed." The only words that just came out of my mouth. "I was the one in charge of your destined mates. Now that I saw you two still strong after all that you have been, I can say that I am proud and I did not go wrong when it comes to pairing both of you." She gives us a genuine smile. Until now, I was astonished by her presence. She is indeed beautiful and perfect for me. Her hair is also in a perfect state, a color silver with large curly waves on it. She looks like an animated person that came out from a digital art. "

Zayn’s POV"Z-Zayn? How did you know about this place? What you just saw is not what you think!" She then suddenly drops the knife on the floor, along with drops of blood from Eleanor’s body. As if her body froze when she saw me looking at her."How dare you do that to her?! Who are you to inflame a part of her body?" Up until now, the gun has been focused on her face. In just one click, I can aim for her head easily, and she will die in a split second."You are all getting it wrong, Zayn! You will not understand that she needs to die. Her existence makes me feel like I am in hell." She is acting as if she feels more pain than Eleanor does."Who are you to dictate her life? You are her sister, who is obviously lower than her status. She is a Luna, yet look how she became one because of your craziness! She must be respected, not treated like a burly animal." "If she does not die, my life will be miserable! We are the opposite of each other." I shot the gun near her feet, which made he

Eleanor’s POV I can feel that my body is nearly giving up, as if the chains wrapped around the chair I am sitting in are the ones who will hold my balance already. Ill treatment is what they do here to me every day. I cannot move my limbs properly, my stomach aches a lot, my vision is totally blurry, and I can feel large bruises with matching wounds all over my body. If a mirror is placed in front of me, I will not be able to distinguish myself that fast. From the day on, I promised myself that I would not eat every food that they were offering, they did not attempt to give any of it. Still, they just managed to let me drink water whenever I was thirsty, but of course we all know that water is not enough. "A-Are you not really going to bring me back to the city and let me live my life there? I think I already paid enough. You made me miserable for– I don’t even know how long it is already." Amelia laughed, "What made you think that we are turning you back at the city? Excuse me, on

Zayn’s POV I let Uncle Martin visit my mansion again and even called Dylan for us to have a better conversation together. The venue was supposed to be at Uncle Martin’s mansion since I do not want him to exert any effort on going here, but I remembered that it is also Ava and Amelia’s home. If they happen to hear any word from us, they might alter or modify some of their actions. "He just messaged me that he parked his car outside at the garage. I am pretty sure that he had a sight of your auto and is now wondering if you are here or not." "Surely, what he still knows is that we are in a big fight." "Acually, that is what everyone knows. I think that is already a better option for us, so that no one will be astounded by our sudden collision."Anyways, do you have that sexy dialogue for her later on?""Stop right there, Dylan. It would be impromptu, as I have no idea how the situation will turn out. But one thing is what I am sure of, I am not excited and happy about it." *Ding Do

If you were here, would you have an appetite to eat something?" From this morning until lunch, he keeps pushing me to take a bite of the food he is offering. I even do not have an idea what they put there that might make me weaker. My body cannot deny that it is totally hungry already, but I will not eat anything that they offer. For the past few days, I had a bite of every food they have offered me, but I feel like every day that passes, I get weaker and weaker."You’ll die of starvation if you do not eat." He suggests. "Who are you to take care of me? If I don’t want to do it, then I will not!" Within reach, I kicked the plate, and the food above it was wasted on the dusty floor. "A lot of people are not eating and do not have the privilege to eat these kinds of food, but you are jus

Zayn’s POV For how many days of Eleanor being a missed person, nothing is getting better. Nothing is progressing with her case when it comes to how the police officers handle it. I am starting to contemplate now, what if the person who got her is Dylan? I could not stop thinking about that matter. Of all the people that surround her, he is most likely the one who would cause this to happen to her. Perhaps, they kidnapped her, and that would be an advantage for them to do anything with Eleanor. But why doesn’t Eleanor’s father know? I thought both of them conspired with each other when it comes to proceeding with their wedding? Maybe they lost keeping in touch because Uncle Martin was busy with his new family, as Eleanor informed me. However, I was being flooded by Uncle Martin’s text messages, saying such words to me that are equal to one word only, which is irresponsible. He keeps on blaming me. I tried opening this up to Kyle, but he told me that we don’t have sufficient proof for

Eleanor’s POVMy eyelids consciously opened on their own, finding out that I was in a spacious area without any things in reach. Where am I, and what is this place? It is a closed area where the windows are also covered, and almost all of the walls have soundproofing instruments to make sure that even if I scream so loud, no one from the outside will hear me say anything. I looked at the side, where there is a special built-in bed, and saw Ameila peacefully sleeping. Ava is obviously not here, her presence is absent. Until I came deeper into my senses, I noticed that I was sitting in a chair where I could not move. I was locked with several chains, which is totally giving me a heavy feeling. I moved for a bit, and there is a vibrant noise heard from these chains. I saw Amelia move, please do not be awakened by these chains. I moved again, starting to find where the lock is, but it keeps on emitting large percussions. How can I get out of this captivation? Even if I transform into my w
Engaged With The Two Exceptional Alphas Chapter 92: Narrow Space
Eleanor’s POV I feel like I slept all day, waking up inside the mansion and seeing Zayn’s face totally worried at me. The last time I remembered, I was on my way to the post-office when someone gave something to me until I ran out of consciousness, which led me to sleep. I cannot even discern if that was a dream or not. "Eleanor! You’re already awake. I thought you will not be opening your eyes again. I was so worried about you". Zayn hugged me tightly, as if he had not seen me for how many years. "How many hours were I out?" Curiously, I asked. "You were in doze for 7 days already." My face frowned, doubtful about whether he was telling the truth or not. Is he serious, or did I not hear it right? I did not utter a word and am still analyzing that short sentence he verbalized. For almost a minute, he had a blank face until he could not stop his laugh. I knew it, he is faking it. "Don’t worry because you were sleeping for just 7 hours, not days. Just wanting to see your reaction."
