Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection Ainsley's Fear
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
Last Updated : 2025-01-02Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection The Fractured Heart
Mavis stood frozen, her eyes wide in terror, her body stiff with shock as she witnessed the horror unfolding before her. Every muscle in her body screamed for her to run, but her legs wouldn’t move. The scene before her seemed like a nightmare, surreal and impossible. The container holding Eloise was filled with water, and Mavis couldn’t tell if Eloise was alive or unconscious, or if she had even made it through the torment. The water sloshed around, threatening to engulf her, and Mavis’s heart thundered in her chest. This can’t be happening. It can’t be real, she thought, barely able to comprehend what she was seeing.Mavis’s eyes remained locked on Eloise, her thoughts a jumbled mess. The overwhelming fear of the moment caused her breath to become shallow and uneven. Is she alive? Is she breathing? The questions bounced in her mind, but no answers came, only fear. She knew time was running out. And then, a name echoed in her head. Ainsley.Ainsley. The man she had only heard whisper

Ainsley held Eloise’s hand, his grip strong, but the anger that had consumed him was slowly fading. As his fingers interlocked with hers, a strange warmth spread through him. His rage, his fear, the desperation to save her, everything calmed as though the touch itself was grounding him. Why does this feel so… right? His mind raced, unable to process the unexpected tranquility.For what seemed like an eternity, time stood still. Eloise coughed, water spewing from her mouth as she struggled to breathe. Each rasping breath felt like a battle, but slowly, with a strained gasp, she opened her eyes. They were swollen and irritated, her vision blurry. She could barely make out the figure in front of her, but there was something about his presence that comforted her.Ainsley watched her with a mix of relief and uncertainty. He could see her lips move, faint and trembling. Her voice, hoarse and weak, reached his ears. “Money,” she whispered.The word hit Ainsley like a slap in the face. The su
Last Updated : 2025-01-03Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection Why don’t you beg me for your life?
The scene continued to unfold with intense emotion, as Ainsley’s words hit Eloise like a bitter storm. When he spoke of her life being worthless, it felt as though a dagger had pierced her heart, leaving her breathless. The words felt like poison, seeping deep into her soul. Her chest tightened painfully, and for a moment, she instinctively placed a hand over her heart, trying to shield herself from the sharp sting of truth.His hand had raised, as though he might reach for her, but then it dropped, his expression unreadable. His composure, however, was a facade. “Alpha Williams, you are right. My life is worthless,” Eloise repeated, each word carrying a sense of finality.But when she repeated his own cruel words back to him, something shifted in Ainsley. A deep irritation, for no clear reason, bubbled within him. It wasn’t that he thought she was wrong, it was that hearing those words from her made his chest constrict. He couldn’t understand it. It was as if her repetition somehow m

The tension in the room thickened, suffocating both Ainsley and Eloise. Ainsley’s grip around Eloise’s neck tightened, and her lifeless expression only seemed to fuel his frustration. The woman beneath him showed no resistance, her body limp, her eyes dull. It was as though she had resigned herself to her fate, her soul already distant, leaving Ainsley struggling with his own emotions. Beneath the anger, there was a gnawing pain in his chest, one he couldn't fully understand or control.Adrian, unable to tolerate the torment that was escalating within Ainsley, began to fight for control. The battle for dominance inside Ainsley's mind intensified as Adrian pushed harder, desperate to protect his mate from Ainsley’s destructive path. Yet, Ainsley resisted, his own will overriding the turmoil within. His mind, overwhelmed by the jealousy and rage, could no longer comprehend the depth of his actions."Why don’t you fight back?!" Ainsley yelled, his voice raw with frustration. "Why?!" His

“I deserve this punishment,” Eloise said calmly.Her voice, low and unwavering, cut through the heavy silence that filled the room. It was not the voice of a woman pleading for mercy, but one who had surrendered herself entirely to her fate.Eric didn’t doubt her words. He had known Eloise since they were children, and even now, there was a bitter truth in her resignation that stung him deeper than he could have imagined. She had always been strong, confident, and unyielding, but now, she was nothing but a shadow of her former self.The night air was still, and the Litha Night Walker Pack’s lands stretched dark and endless around them. The Golden Moon Pack, a force to be reckoned with, bordered their territory. Eloise, as the daughter of the Alpha, had once been a woman with every reason to stand tall and proud. She had been a symbol of power, of grace.Eric remembered her from when they were younger, a fierce, untamed beauty. She had completed her transformation at fifteen, the wolf

Ainsley stood in front of the couch, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular, yet his mind was consumed by thoughts of Eloise. Why does she always make me feel this way? His heart twisted with frustration. The very idea of her, trembling, submissive, and fearful, made his blood boil.Suddenly, the soft, almost imperceptible sound of footsteps reached his ears. Ainsley’s senses sharpened, instinctively recognizing her presence. His sharp wolf senses could pick up her scent; hear the quiet shift of her movements, even the slight hesitation in her steps.Eloise.He turned to face her, his heart thudding in his chest as he saw the hesitant look in her eyes. His anger flared, and he couldn't hide it. Why is she always so uncertain? He thought bitterly. Why does she never stand tall?"Stop right there. Where are you going?" Ainsley’s voice was harsh, filled with a command that left no room for disobedience.Eloise stood frozen, her eyes wide with caution. "I’m going to work, Alpha Williams,

Rachael immediately sensed something in Elijah's words. After all, she had managed to secure a place in the Scarlet Heart Club for years, navigating the club’s inner workings with precision and caution. She could read people well, and Elijah’s tone was off, there was a tension in the air, a sense of urgency she couldn't ignore.Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she asked, “Wait. A dangerous job, you say?”What does he mean by a dangerous job? Rachael thought, feeling her gut tighten with unease. What’s going on that I don’t know?Rachael, always one to stay composed, couldn’t help but wonder. Eloise must have lost her mind. She hasn’t fully recovered yet, and she’s already back here, asking me for a job. How reckless is she?She steadied her voice and said seriously, “I’m not that ruthless, okay? She came back before she recovered, but I never gave her any work to do. Well, the only exception was that unknown guest a few days ago. But he didn’t give her a hard time.” Rachael’s eyes na

“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
Mated to her Enemy: Refusing his Rejection Business Meetings.
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
