Currently Eleanor is wearing a floral dress that reaches her lower thighs with black boots and denim jacket. She was standing in the kitchen and luckily all the maids had already retired to their quarters.
By Lord! If Samantha sees Eleanor like this ready to sneak out, she'll lose her consciousness for real.
Eleanor quietly came out into the backyard through the kitchen back door. Her eyes looked around for danger and as Leon has said there's no guard here.
She hurriedly tiptoed towards the large cage like wall and searched for the ladder. One ladder was placed in the far corner. Jogging there she set that boulder weighing ladder on the wall panting. By the time it was set she was half drained out of her energy. She immediately climbed it praying that Leon must be present on the other side because if he won't be the
Leon joined them and the first thing he did was pull Finn out of his seat through his hood and sat on that chair smugly beside Eleanor who looked at him shocked. Finn scowled, "there's a thing called manners." He muttered under his breath making everyone laugh as he sat beside Charlie now.The food was on Leon because it was the celebration of his win in a soccer game. "Who was Jewel, to whom you dedicated your last goal?" Asked Ava intentionally and Eleanor coughed out hysterically as Ava rubbed her back and gave her water.Leon gave a stinging eye to Ava but she just smirked. "We want to know." Ava said again and all the boys nodded, making Eleanor go in panic mode lord knows why. It's not that they are a thing or something."Jewel is someone I'm interested in, that's all y'all need to know." Ava did a little hoot
Her throat clogged up as she stared at her hands on her lap. Tears threatened to escape her eyes but she bit her lower lip to keep herself from crying in front of them.Why is her father doing this to her? He didn't even ask her what she wanted! Even if she wants to marry this man or not."D-dad...t-this..." She stuttered, feeling a lump forming in her throat. Her moistened eyes raised up to meet James but the hard look in his eyes was enough to break her hopes as she shut her mouth abruptly."If Eleanor needs some time then we can postpone the engagement for a week." Titus suggested looking at the pale face of the girl as he faced James who kept quiet for a minute or two before speaking up."That'll be great." He said. "You can leave Eleanor." Said James and the girl di
"I never asked for anything Dad. Please...I don't want to marry Mr. Benjamin." She says softly standing in her father's room as he tied his tie while standing in front of the vanity mirror."The topic is closed Eleanor." Her father said in a dismissive tone and her anger flared."I'm your daughter! You cannot just toss me to anyone as if I'm just a pawn. I'm a living human, dad!" She said with teary eyes and her voice was a little high.James' head snapped in her direction as he glared at her. "Do not cross your line Eleanor! My decision is final. You're marrying Titus and that's it!" He spoke with a cold voice making her flinch back as she lowered her eyes."I want to go to my friend's place for girl's night." She says softly while wiping her tears and looking at the fl
"STOP FUCKING MOVING!" He sneered.And she stilled in her place out of pure fear. Her ocean teary eyes met his silver gray orbs. The dark pupil of his eyes were dilated to such an extent that it covered the whole of gray giving him an ominous look."L-Leon...s-stop..." She stuttered as tears poured out of her wide fearful eyes as they rolled down to the hairline from her temples.He was breathing heavily looking at her face with those ominous eyes making her stomach churn in fear. This man in front of her is not the Leon she knows, he looked deranged and deadly."Please..." She pleaded while twisting her wrists that were in his large calloused hands. Her body was unable to move due to his boulder-like weight that was crushing her lower body.
"Who was the man you were dancing with in the rain?" He gritted the words out venomously and her heart stopped beating."W-What?" Eleanor stuttered, her face paling at his words as she tried to get her already bruised wrist free from his hand which looked an impossible task at hand.His dark brown eyes pierced through her soul as she lowered her eyes, tears forming in them due to pain and the fact that he knew about her sneaking out and meeting Leon and the gang."I repeat, who was the man you were dancing with in the rain?" He asked with gritting teeth, making her look at him."I d-don't know what you are talking about. Which rain and dance? And with whom? I don't understand." Eleanor says with confidence trying to get her wrist free which was hurting so much, she has a
Her widened ocean doe eyes met silver gray orbs.Eleanor flinched back on the bed, gaping at him with wide eyes as she blinked twice to believe that she's not dreaming and Leon was really here in her room covering her mouth.Leon placed his finger on his lips, warning her to keep quiet and she like an obedient child nodded her head.He removed his hand from her mouth backing away and Eleanor didn't waste a single second before standing up on the floor and taking two steps away from him."P-please leave." She said looking towards the door of her room, utterly afraid that what if Titus was keeping watch on her through his ways and seeing Leon here will only get him into trouble which she didn't want."We need to t
Finally it was the day of her engagement. All the days passed gloomily. The harsh words she had said to Leon kept ringing in her head like a mantra, the broken look of hurt on his face sliced her heart every time she recalled it.She broke his heart, the heart of the man who showed her what freedom truly feels like, the man who was like a fresh breath of air in her caged life, the man who made her heart flutter, the man who's the only guy she thinks of.She never saw him again, neither in the parking lot and nor anywhere else, he just vanished and left her alone just like she wanted but it hurts her that she did this to him. But it's for the better.All these days she made up her mind to accept her reality and forget a certain silver eyed guy with a deep husky voice that she'll never forget no matter how much she tr
Only Eleanor was gaping at him with wide shocked eyes and on the other hand both Caleb and Ava looked anything but surprised. There were soft gasps around the whole classroom as one of the girls spoke up."You're the biker guy. We've seen you in the university's parking lot and you also won the match against our football team." The girl has a mischievous smile."I'm your teacher here, so behave like my student. First and the most important thing, I don't like disturbances during my class. Am I clear?" His voice was almost lethal as everyone straightened up and a chorus of clear was heard."First of all, note down your assignment which I'll be needing in two days. No more extra time will be granted." He continued and Eleanor just gaped at him like a fish out of water.His
