The Bitter Truth: Her Silence and Struggle

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-25 04:16:17

With Eloise's words, Mavis became even more frightened. The tension in her chest tightened as her anxiety grew. Mavis was afraid of Rachel, Eloise's association with her, her connection to that powerful figure was something Mavis had no interest in challenging. Yet, as Eloise walked away, her resolve hardened, and Mavis's hatred simmered beneath the surface.

Little by little, Eloise began to change. What had once been a humiliated, submissive woman, now displayed a quiet strength. With each step, Eloise moved further from the fragility that had once defined her. Mavis, too consumed by her own bitterness, failed to notice. She remained blind to the subtle shift in Eloise's demeanor, to the newfound poise that radiated from her.

Unaware of the transformation, Mavis failed to see the man who stood in the hallway, leaning lazily against the door frame. His eyes briefly met Eloise's, and for a fleeting moment, their gazes locked before she disappeared into the elevator. The man, who had be

    In the Public Relations Department lounge, the escort girls were deep in conversation, their voices rising as they discussed the latest happenings. Whispers echoed through the room, as their eyes occasionally flicked toward Eloise, who sat quietly in the corner.Despite Amelia and Gold's lessons on how to behave, no one took Eloise seriously. It wasn’t just the new girls; even the more experienced workers gave her dismissive glances. There was something about her that didn't fit the glamorous image they all tried so hard to project. Her past as a cleaner in the club's toilets still lingered in the minds of many, making her presence here, in this department, feel out of place.They couldn’t understand how someone like Eloise had suddenly risen to be one of them, and the awkwardness hung in the air like an unspoken truth.Eloise followed Flora as she walked down the corridor towards the VIP lounge on the fifth floor. Flora’s face was unreadable, but Eloise could sense her impatience. Sh

    As Eloise stood there, staring at the cheque in her hand, her face gradually grew paler. The weight of the situation began to sink in. She had been through countless humiliations before clients who treated her like a disposable object, who took from her what they wanted without regard for her feelings. Yet, she had always kept a part of herself intact. This time, though, something felt different. The sum on the cheque was more than she'd ever been given for so little.Why me? She thought bitterly. What did I do to deserve this money?She had understood when Micheal had given her $100,000 before, it had been because he thought she resembled the woman he loved. A twisted sympathy, maybe. But today, she hadn’t done anything to deserve this amount. She hadn't even gone through the usual humiliation, yet here she was holding the cheque.Jack was standing in front of her, a little taller than she was, watching her with eyes that seemed to dissect her every move. His gaze was unwavering, stu

    Rachel blinked, stunned by the simplicity of the answer. “A kiss?” she repeated, her voice rising in disbelief. “That’s it? Just a kiss?” But before Eloise could respond, Rachel fell silent, her thoughts running a mile a minute.Rachel's voice trembled slightly as she asked the question that had been weighing on her mind. "Eloise, are you sure it was just a kiss?" Her eyes searched Eloise’s face for any sign that she was lying, but all she saw was sincerity, though tinged with a vulnerability that only made Rachel's worries deepen.Eloise’s heart warmed at the concern in Rachel's voice. She could see the worry etched across her friend’s face. She didn’t want to make Rachel anxious, so she answered as calmly as she could, "Yes, Rachel. He only asked for a kiss."It couldn’t have been that simple.Rachel knew the world they lived in. the world of men who had money, power, and twisted desires. She had seen enough to know that when a man of that stature made an offer, there were always st

  • Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection    The Tension Beneath the Surface

    Rachel couldn’t quite grasp why Ainsley seemed so obsessed with Eloise. But there was one thing she did know: Ainsley despised Eloise. He hated her with a passion that Rachel couldn’t entirely understand. The way he treated Eloise was harsh, even cruel. Ainsley’s disdain was clear in every action, every look.After a few seconds of deliberation, Rachel decided to downplay the situation, speaking with a calm tone. “Nothing out of the ordinary,” she said, her voice light, as though brushing it off. “The guest simply asked Eloise for a kiss.”She didn’t think Ainsley would care. After all, in the world of Club Scarlet Heart, such requests weren’t unusual. Guests often asked for kisses from the escorts, and sometimes even left generous tips in exchange. The women at the club didn’t mind. It was just part of the job, something that kept the customers satisfied and the money flowing. But Rachel didn’t anticipate what would happen next.The moment Rachel finished speaking, Ainsley, who was i

    Eloise stood there, her eyes fixed on Mavis. There was a calm, unwavering intensity in her gaze, but Mavis didn’t acknowledge it. She was too focused on her own thoughts, the weight of her words. Eloise could feel the tension in the air between them. Mavis wasn’t talking to her.Eloise wasn’t one to be easily deceived, and she could sense there was something off about the situation. Her mind raced as she tried to make sense of Mavis’s actions. She wasn’t used to being lied to so blatantly, and there was an unsettling feeling that gnawed at her from within.Mavis continued to speak, her voice still controlled. “I left my things in the bedroom that day,” Mavis said, her eyes not meeting Eloise’s. “So, I went back to retrieve them. That’s when I found you lying unconscious on the floor. I didn’t think twice; I took you straight to the hospital. I can’t even imagine what would’ve happened if I hadn’t returned when I did.”Eloise’s frown deepened as she processed Mavis’s words. Something di

    Charles Oliver, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, stood still, his brow furrowed in confusion. He stared at the door Lucian had pointed to, the door to Room 3. There was nothing extraordinary about it. It was just a simple wooden door, no different from the others at Scarlet Heart Club.Lucian’s voice broke through his thoughts. “A beautiful woman will walk through this door shortly. She’s someone special, a sweetheart. Alpha Oliver, I’m just being a friend here, giving you a little advice.”Lucian smiled knowingly, and the look in his eyes was one that made every man in the room feel like they were part of a secret, unspoken bond. He tapped Charles on the arm, the gesture filled with more meaning than words could express. “You know what I’m saying, don’t you, Alpha. Oliver?”Charles, despite his initial confusion, understood all too well. He wasn’t some naive fool. He was the Alpha, respected and admired, and he knew what Lucian was implying. His expression softened, and a knowing smi

    Charles stood by the transparent container that was ominously positioned in the center of Room 3. He pointed toward the large, almost suffocating structure with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Miss Mavis,” he said, his voice smooth and too kind, “have you ever seen a diving performance? This is what you need to do. Please, enter the container.”Mavis’s heart sank. The words hit her like a slap on the face, her breath catching in her throat. She blinked rapidly, trying to understand what Charles meant. A diving performance? Her mind raced, struggling to put the pieces together. But there was no mistaking it, she was being asked to enter that container.The workers in the room, having no time to waste, began to move quickly. They grabbed the transparent container and began carrying it toward the bathroom. Mavis stood frozen, her eyes glued to the glass structure that now seemed far too large, too oppressive. The container was nearly three meters high, its shape reminiscent of

    Charles smiled at Eloise’s words, clearly intrigued. She’s more interesting than Mavis, he thought. There was a dark curiosity in his eyes as he observed her.“I heard you love money very much,” Charles said, his voice smooth.Eloise, not one to engage in such conversations, lowered her head, a knowing silence hanging between them. Everyone knew that she had a deep love for money, it was practically a trademark.She pursed her lips into an inscrutable smile before she finally spoke, her voice steady. “Yes, and that’s why I agreed to risk my life to do it.”Charles chuckled, his grin widening. “Alright! Four hundred thousand dollars. Deal!”He seemed genuinely amused, though Eloise knew it was merely a transaction to him. The deal was made, but the stakes were terrifyingly high.Eloise, while not outwardly graceful, had something more visceral, a certain edge that Charles found intriguing, even though she was far from the typical beauty. She wasn’t the type to shy away from risk, and fo

    “Ainsley,” Eloise covered her eyes as if hiding her pain. “I’d rather be the one who lost my memories.”She hoped there was a reset button. If she pressed it, her life could restart from the beginning.“Eloise, don’t cry. It’s my fault. I was wrong.” Ainsley panicked.Eloise closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. “You just don’t get it, do you? I’m tired of this.”She loathed Gary the most; he drained the company's capital and turned the Anthony Group into an empty shell.“Eloise, I was wrong.” Ainsley was bewildered and didn’t know what to do. He could only hug Eloise tightly. She didn’t push him off immediately.Eloise's lips curved into a mocking smile. Ainsley called her as if he were calling the love of his life.“Let me go.” After a long moment, she gently pushed Ainsley away from her warm embrace. “Ainsley, don’t take cold showers again.”Eloise spoke to Ainsley as if nothing had happened. Only she knew she still had unfinished business.That was the reason why she cou

    “Ainsley,” she said, firmer this time. “Stop pretending to be asleep.”There was a pause. Then, a shuffle near the bed.“... I didn’t mean to wake you,” Ainsley’s voice finally came, low and unsure.“What are you doing here?” Her voice was cold, flat and irritated.“I couldn’t sleep,” he replied, glancing up at her. “I was cold… and scared,” Ainsley said.“There’s a couch in the living room,” Eloise replied.“I didn’t want to sleep alone.”She narrowed her eyes. “So you chose the floor next to my bed?”He gave a small nod.She exhaled sharply. “You’re unbelievable.”“I can leave if you want……” He moved, but she stopped him.“My feet are cold,” she said instead.Ainsley looked startled. “Y-Yeah? I can fix that!”He quickly knelt beside the bed and took her feet in his hands, rubbing them gently.“Your hands are warm,” she muttered, surprised.“I didn’t want you to feel cold too,” he said. “It’s not right.”A moment passed. Then: Eloise asked “Have you remembered anything lately?” she a

    Eloise looked meaningfully at Mavis, a sharp smile playing on her lips, though her eyes remained distantly calm and calculating.“So what now? Are you threatening me with the Anthony Group?” Her voice was smooth, but each word struck like a polished dagger, honed over three years of silence.Mavis folded her arms tightly across her chest, trying to look composed, but her jaw twitched. "Eloise, sue me. Go ahead, I dare you. By the time that happens, everyone will know the Anthony Group is nothing but a polished shell with cracks running deep. You’ll lose everything you’ve ever clung to."She stepped forward, her lips curled into a twisted grin. "So tell me, can you still look me in the eye with that attitude? That high-and-mighty, untouchable tone?”The hate in Mavis's voice wasn’t subtle. It was raw and boiling.'How dare she still act like she’s better than me?' Mavis’s inner voice raged. 'She used to be humble, almost pitiful. Now look at her…cool, powerful. And somehow, after every

    Eloise collapsed to the ground, her heart racing. Ainsley knelt beside her, panting.“You’re such a bad girl,” he groaned with a crooked grin.She blinked, then laughed. The sound surprised even her.They leaned on each other as they walked home. Eloise winced with every step.Inside, she locked the door behind them and turned to Ainsley. “Why were you there?” She asked with a frown.He looked sheepish. “From the balcony… I watched you leave for work. And I wait for your return. I always have.”Eloise froze. That… she hadn’t expected.“I’m not stalking you,” he added quickly. “I just… feel safer knowing you made it home.”Her throat closed. She didn’t speak.Later that evening, after cleaning Ainsley’s wounds, Eloise sat in her office, the silence pressing on her.Jacob had just finished a quick check-in. Mandy arrived, knocking gently.“Find the leak yet?” Eloise asked.Mandy sighed. “No. It’s like they vanished.”“Stop the investigation.”Mandy blinked rapidly. “What, why? Shouldn’t

    When she arrived at the Anthony Group, Mandy’s jaw dropped and her eyes were wide open.“Miss Anthony? You’re here early.”“Give me the proposal for the Jack Ray partnership. "I need to reconsider several details to make it profitable,” Eloise said.“But… are you sure you want to review that again?” Mandy asked hesitantly."I think they'll be delighted to see a revised proposal, especially one that could bring more profit for both sides. Mandy, in this world, no one walks away from money."Mandy blinked. That wasn’t the Eloise she knew.“O-okay,” she stammered, retreating. She wanted to pull Eloise out of her emotional spiral, but hearing her talk business with such coldness was unnerving.In the office, Eloise sat across from Jack Ray.“I’ve outlined the additional terms for the partnership. These revisions will double our projected profits. Mr. Jack, you should reconsider before dismissing the offer,” she said.Jack frowned, visibly disappointed. Can’t we just talk like two people,

    The bedroom door creaked open. Eloise looked up from her book, startled. Ainsley stood there, his face unreadable, a folded blanket in his arms. Without a word, he stepped in, laid the blanket on the floor beside the bed, and began unrolling it with deliberate care.“What are you doing?” Eloise asked, her brow furrowing.Ainsley lay down on the makeshift bed, turning his back to her.“You're not allowed to sleep here,” she said in a cold and dispassionate voice. “Ainsley, go away!” she shouted, frustration bubbling over.However, Ainsley sat up abruptly, glaring at her. “Just send me away tomorrow! I don’t care! But don’t think you can kick me out tonight!”Eloise was taken aback. It was the first time eight-year-old Ainsley had raised his voice at her.“You want to kick me out. You're sick, and no one will take care of you. You're unreasonable!” he shouted again.She stared at him, speechless. The room fell into a tense silence, the only light coming from a dim night lamp.Suddenly,

    Time passed slowly.Eloise glanced at her wristwatch again, her brows knitting in frustration. The ticking felt like it echoed louder in the room than it had any right to, like each second was dragging its feet, deliberately mocking her patience. She shifted slightly in her seat, the silence becoming more stifling by the minute. Ainsley sat across from her, completely still, his small eyes trained on her face with an eerie calmness.The shrill ring of her phone startled her.Her body tensed instinctively. She snatched the phone from the table, her thumb sliding across the screen to answer.“Are you here yet?” she asked sharply.From the other end, Eric’s voice came hurried, uneven, and heavy with movement. He was clearly in motion. “I can’t come,” he said, no greeting, just urgency. “I’ll leave Ainsley with you for now.”Eloise shot upright. “Wait a minute,” she snapped. “Leave him with me for now? Isn’t Hank there?”She heard the sigh in Eric’s throat before he spoke. “Hank isn’t fre

    Stepping aside, Eloise said in a formal tone, “Let me introduce you. This is Jack Ray, the representative of our partner.”Mandy, blinking in confusion, stepped forward and extended her hand politely. "Hello….."“Mandy, I’ll follow the project this time,” Eloise cut in swiftly, not allowing her to finish.Mandy froze, utterly bewildered.Eloise leaned close and whispered in her ear, “I’ll explain after we get back.”Jack personally walked them all the way to the car, his gaze never leaving Eloise until she disappeared from his sight.Inside the car, Eloise slumped back against the seat.“Have you met Jack before?” Mandy asked curiously as they neared the Moonlight Garden. “I thought I was going to be in charge of the project?”Eloise forced a smile. “Don't misunderstand. There are certain things about this project I need to handle personally. You've been working so hard, Mandy. You deserve a break.”Mandy still looked unsure. “Okay… but rest well after this problem is solved, okay?”A

    The secretary suddenly stood up, her voice hurried and apologetic. “I’m sorry, Mandy." Our president said he wanted to meet with Ms. Anthony alone to seek cooperation this time.”Eloise, Mandy, and the other Anthony Group representatives exchanged confused glances, uncertainty flickering between them. What a strange request! Suspicion brewed silently in the air.Mandy parted her lips to protest, but Eloise reached out, stopping her with a firm hand. “Take the others out of the conference room,” she instructed quietly, her voice calm but commanding.“But…” Mandy’s brows furrowed in deep worry. She didn’t want to leave Eloise alone.Eloise looked at her steadily, her gaze unwavering, burning with determination. “Mandy, you know how important this cooperation is to me.”It wasn’t just important to her; it was crucial to the future of the Anthony Group. It was everything.Mandy hesitated a moment longer, then finally nodded. “Let’s go,” she said, her voice reluctant. She signaled the othe
