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.

    "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

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.

    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

    Eleanor abruptly placed her small soft hands on his large veiny ones to push them away from her thighs but he wouldn't budge and the way he stood in between her legs mortified her to the core.Eleanor was busy removing his hands from her thigh, her hands were so small that her whole hand was holding his index finger and twisting it back to give him some pain so he would shriek out in pain and move back but to no avail. He was grinning at her like an idiot, enjoying her panicked state."What is this behaviour? Move away from me!" She said in an angry voice but she was unable to hide the tremble of her voice."I like this position a lot, you know." His words sounded like innuendo and she gulped."Move away sir or I'll scream."

The elderly doctor said with a soft smile as she went to the room where Eleanor was with the nurse."Mama would be fine dad." Said the 4 year old Hope in a soft baby voice. She was in Finn's arms who too was present."Yes Princess, she would be fine. She has to be." Leon said while pulling Hope in his arms as the small baby girl placed her head on his shoulder while closing her Hazel eyes that were filled with tears in the worry for the mother.

    "Thank you..." She breathed after getting down from his bike and running all the way to his penthouse. Her cheeks were flamed after what he did in the restaurant.This man aka her husband was crazy. He locked her in the girl’s restroom and ate her out right then and there because she looked too alluring.Her breath hitched when she felt his arm sneaking around her belly and he pulled her back flushed to his chest."Running away from me huh?" He rasped near her ear as a shiver raked her body."That was a very dangerous s-stunt you performed in the girl's restroom..." She mumbled only to gasp when he swivelled her around. His large hand wrapped around her delicate neck and he pulled her to him. Her hands landed on his abs.

    "There's no Leon Alessandro without Eleanor Dawson.... Leon couldn't exist without Eleanor..." He breathed, wiping her tears with his thumb as his arm tightened around her waist pulling her more closer."In love you don't suffer alone. You suffer together, bloom together.... That is love..." His hand snaked at the nape of her neck. Grabbing a chunk of her hair he pulled her face closer to his own."And you are my love." With that said he slammed his lips on hers in a passionate heated kiss filled with longing. His heart sighed in content which was going crazy to taste her lips as soon as it entered her apartment.Her hands softly cupped his rugged jaw as they kissed until they couldn't breath. She could taste alcohol on his lips and no doubt she wanted to get drunk on him. Eleanor whimpered when he bit on her neck a

    He let that piece of shard go as it fell on the floor breaking into more tiny pieces scattering all over the place.She flinched at the noise as she stared at him who was slowly backed away towards what he had seen earlier on her kitchen counter.Bottle of Alcohol.He needs it. Grabbing it he removed the cap and chugged the bitter liquid down as it burned his throat.With a jerk the bottle was snatched from him and tiny little Eleanor glared at him with teary eyes. "Give it back!" He grumbled but she only swivelled on her feet and walked towards the sink to get rid of the liquid.His eyes widened slightly before he rushed to save the only thing that could make him go numb. "Give it back." He growled while trying to snatch it

    Silver against ocean blue.Leon's heart trembled in his chest. His hold on her jaw became soft and tender."I'm s-sorry to disappear l-like that but we c-can't be t-together." She stuttered while trying her best to hold her tears in, that were burning to be let out of her eyes.The softness in his eyes evaporated in a puff followed by an angry look."Reason?" He asked calmly but she could practically hear his molars grinding together in anger.His intimidating and dominating aura made her look so small in front of him. His body heat so close to her was making her lose her mind. It was difficult to control herself when all she wanted to do was kiss him with burning passion and chase his anger away.

    Eleanor gazed at the picture frame on the kitchen counter as she talked to it. "I'm not feeling hungry, but I've to eat to stay healthy. I know that, would you stop glaring at me." She muttered while glaring back at the picture.Plating her pasta, she placed it on the small dining table where another frame was placed in front.Placing the water on the side she washed her hands to eat her food. She wasn't hungry. She never had any appetite now. All she did was to shove the food down her throat so her body kept on working and she kept on living.Before she could sit on her seat the doorbell rang.With furrowed brows she walked to the door and peeked through the peephole to find no one out there.Strange.

    His heart screamed at him that there was something wrong but he didn't believe it.Eight months and twenty nine days have passed since he last saw her. Two hundred and seventy three days passed since he last felt her. Every time he thinks about their meeting or perhaps their last meeting his heart would scream inside the prison of his ribcage. Clawing at his chest to get out because it was suffocating.Every night he would lay on that cold rough surface with just one thought in his mind. Where did he go wrong? Why did she leave him? Wasn't he worthy enough of knowing his crime?Eleanor has vanished into thin air. His friends would come to visit him but every time they would lower their heads because they couldn't get to know about her whereabouts. James also didn't visit him for once.

    Three months passed.His hearing was proceeded and luckily due to Mr. James sources his penalty was cut short from five years to one year. No matter how merciful this law gets. They were still punishing an innocent who tried to save his love.Leon was shifted to the Queens detention complex. The thugs here were worse than any. Surviving was difficult because only the fittest and strongest can stand through such vicious criminals. He was strong and disciplined. The hope of meeting Eleanor kept him that way.When the first month passed, he was ecstatic would be an understatement. He was on cloud nine because why not. Eleanor would've been discharged from the hospital and would come to meet him any day now. But his hopes started to deteriorate when the days kept on passing and she didn't come to even see him for once a
