Eleanor's POV The nanny entered the bedroom holding a bucket of honey water, and she saw the kids all over me.“What are you drinking? She asked.“Aren't you the one who asked the kids to bring me the honey water? I asked curiously.She laughed as she realized what had happened.“The honey water was meant for soaking your feet.”My stomach lurched as I looked at the cup I was holding, and I fell back to the bed.“Oh my goodness, I just drank the water meant for feet soaking” I exclaimed.The kids looked at me with puzzled faces.“Luckily, it's just honey and peppercorn. It's not harmful.” The nanny said, still laughing as she took the kids out of the room, so I could soak my feet.After they left, I seized the opportunity to call Ethan.“Mr. Ethan, I will be there soon. Something urgent came in that I needed to attend to, I will be there in an hour.” “Alright, just remember there is a meeting at 2 pm.”“Yes, I do. I will be there before the meeting”.However, I overestimated my body
Eleanor's POV A white Roll-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of me after an hour.To be honest, anytime I see his car, my heart skips a beat.I couldn't see through his tinted windows. His bodyguard came out of the car and opened the door for me.The last time I was in his car, things didn't go so well.“Do you want me to come carry you inside the car? He asked.I composed myself and got in. I kept my hands on my thighs and sat straight with my back pressed against the seat.I tried composing myself to act calm, but my heart kept erupting like a volcano.We drove away from the hospital space and I started to get relaxed.I saw Michael looking at everything and his expression changed.“I'm sorry, Mr. Donovan, I needed the sick leave. I had a cold and needed treatment. I will resume work tomorrow, I feel better now.”“Take your time, don't be in a rush.”“What about the deduction of salary? I carefully asked.He looked and I paused without saying a word.I felt embarrassed mentioning it
Eleanor's POV It turned out that a few days off was what I really needed. I took time to feel better and also spent quality time with my kids.When I resumed work the next week, I went back to my old self.During his meeting in the afternoon, Sebastian was in his usual unapproachable mood. I found it strange how we were completely opposite.He talked for a while, but I didn't follow along. But it was obvious he wasn't impressed with the performance of one of the departments.“Dismiss,” he said and stormed out of the meeting room.“What use is this meeting if we can't reach a solution”.The top management said as they looked at Sebastian leaving the meeting room.I was shocked too because his meetings usually last more than an hour.I waited for everyone to leave the conference room, so I could tidy it up.“Don't forget…” Ethan said, walking up to me.“Yes, Mr. Ethan. As soon as I'm done here, I will take his coffee to him.”“Your off seems fantastic” he nodded and smiled.As I took t
Eleanor's POV “Your mother has told me a lot about you. You are just as beautiful as she described.Do you know my happiness right now? He asked and chuckled.“You are Selene's daughter, which also makes you my daughter. Don't hesitate to come to us whenever you are in need, don't be shy.”“We can keep talking while we eat. Let's have dinner first” Selene interrupted when she saw how silent I was.“Al… Alright"They were so kind and welcoming towards me, and it was impossible not to be drawn to such affection.I was served different dishes, including beef and chicken.“Ele, why not have beef? I still remember you used to love beef a lot” she said.“Wow, I love beef as well. What a coincidence” Gabriel said.I was so surprised at how different Sebastian and Gabriel were. I thought he would be as cold and ruthless as Sebastian. However, we got along so well.“Since Zoe found out about you, she hasn't stopped talking about wanting to play with you” Gabriel chortled.I laughed but hoped
Eleanor's POV Sebastian is a VIP and people respect him everywhere he goes. The respect was based on fear, though, because people who knew him found him intimidating.However, Michael showed no sign of being scared of him. He looked very relaxed on the couch.When I placed the second cup of coffee in front of him, he said to Sebastian,“I have a shortage of manpower in my company, your staff seems great, will you let me have her?I felt irritated that I was being discussed like some sort of household object.Before I could say anything, I felt the shifting atmosphere. Sebastian was angry.“Did you just hear what he said? He asked, looking at me expectantly.I realized he stepped back, permitting me to deal with Michael myself.I didn't need a second thought before I could do what I had been dying for.“I'm an employee in the skyline group, I have an agreement with this company, but that doesn't mean I'm a ball that can be played around anytime,” I said and Michael looked at me irrita
Eleanor's POV What happened years back flashed to my memory and I couldn't help but recall the intimate moment we shared.He was too good for my body, I could never handle someone like him. If I'm to agree to his request, he will definitely torture me to death in bed.In fact, accepting to be his woman would take everything I have.That night, after having those drinks, it gave me the courage I needed to go home with him.Of course, I wasn't brave enough to tell him it was my first. I just had to work hard to keep up with his pace and unending desire.After going the first round, I wasn't nervous anymore. I couldn't deny the pleasure he gave me. I wanted more, more of him.I felt that old yearning for him, the same I felt years ago, and my body relaxed beneath him.I moved slightly, rocking my hips, feeling the hardness of his shaft.His eyes were filled with desire and I relished the power it gave me. The smallest movement from him made his body react.He might be the boss when it
Eleanor's POV My entire body kept trembling. I sneaked my hand on his head, keeping his head in place as he skillfully played and sucked.“Oh my God…”Those words left my lips in a desperate moan.The words halted Sebastian, and he lifted his head up. I groaned at the loss of his mouth.“You have broken the rules” he said, trying to leave in between my thighs.“Wh…what…no…” I clutched him, trying to hold him to bring him back in place.He held my wrist and gripped it tightly. I winced in pain and went quiet.“Please…” I pleaded, feeling like a loser.“Why are you pleading, what do you want from me? He asked.He forcefully took my hand and placed it on him. I gasped at the feeling of his strained hard shaft and I tried pulling away, but he held me back.“Mr. Donovan, please it…it… was a mistake.” I said stuttering.I couldn't think clearly but thanks to the feeling of his hard dick beneath my hand.Even though it was caged inside his pants, I still got a clear memory of how big “Sebas
Eleanor's POVAfter I got off from work, I went for dinner at the address she had sent. I passed the shopping invitation.It was a high-end restaurant and I felt out of place immediately.I would never be able to afford anything on their menu.“Thank you for coming. By the way, you look stunningly beautiful.” She said, offering me a seat.“I promised you I would come, and here I am. I'm true to my word, unlike some people.” I said, fixing an unmoving gaze on her to make sure she knew what exactly I was insinuating.Before the food came, she handed her debit card to me and I gave her a blank stare.“I know money can't compensate for all the years I neglected you in my role as a mother, but I want you to live a happy and stress-free life henceforth.” She said feeling guilty.I looked at the debit card in her hand.I knew the money in it would be enough to solve my needs and that of my quadruplets.But I have never taken a dime from her since she left me as a child.There was no need for
“Sebastian, I heard you have bought the RSTV station. Is that true? She asked.“Is there anything you want to say? He asked.“I'm just surprised, that's all. But I know you have a reason behind your decision. It's just that I don't like Eleanor.”His gaze darkened, and he stopped what he was doing.“I bet you are not aware that she tried to seduce Michael. I even saw her going into his car last night, and they left together.”Sebastian, who was busy with some files all these while, raised his head on hearing her.He was emitting a cold aura from his head to toe.When she sensed he was staring intently at her, she shrugged and hurriedly straightened her posture like she was in a comfortable position.“I'm not lying, if you doubt me, then you can ask the TV station manager. He was at the bar as well. That girl is too ambitious. If not for the fact that you said you won't change any staff, I would have dismissed her, but there is nothing I can say.” He pushed the files away from the des
“You ignorant bitch!! How dare you lay your filthy hands on me” she asked, boiling in rage.“You can't slap anybody as you wish, Miss Baker. This is a payback slap, learn to stop taking advantage of others.” I said unyieldingly.The TV station manager was shocked as he pointed at me and snarled.“You have got some guts, huh? Do you know who she is? She is Mr. Donovan's fiancé, the CEO of Skyline Group. Where the hell did you get such courage to hit her? I will make your life miserable in Springville.”Just as I was about to talk, a voice from behind interrupted me.“I'm not aware an ordinary TV station manager now has the final say in Springville.”I turned around and saw Michael walking in with his hands in his pocket. He had a stern expression on his face.The manager was shocked and tried to change his words.“Umm… I was only trying to caution her, nothing else.”Knowing that Michael was a tough one, Taylor tried to get hold of herself.“The manager isn't wrong. Since she had the g
Now I won't be able to leave this TV station until he says so>Taylor hopped down from her car as soon as she got to the TV station. She walked quickly in high heels.Wendy, who was waiting for her at the door, pointed out to her.“Wow, so she knows she is late. I thought she didn't have self-awareness at all.” I eyed her but didn't say a word.I remembered how I was always scolded by her the last time I was working at the TV station. Wendy hated it when someone was late.Unfortunately, she couldn't dare to say anything to Taylor Baker.When Taylor saw Wendy and I standing at the door, she slowed down her step and looked at us arrogantly.“Miss Baker, you have arrived. I have been waiting for…” Before Wendy could finish her sentence, Taylor interrupted her.“Sebastian is waiting for me, right? I already told him I would be a bit late.” She said as she showed off.“Do you know he doesn't want me to stress myself, but I choose to be independent.”Wendy and I looked at her awkwardly.“E
Wendy leaned closer to me before she asked the question. She didn't want anyone to hear her.I never thought she would ask such a question while thinking about what Taylor Baker looked like. “You are prettier,” I said hesitantly.“I want to tell you a secret, just because you praised me. Taylor Baker is Sebastian Donovan of Skyline Group's fiancée.” She said.I was shocked.“It's shocking, right? That's why you have to be careful during the interview. Don't say what you shouldn't say, I don't need to remind you. Are we clear?I understood what she was saying.“We are clear.”The last thing I wanted was to lose this job.“Good.” She said and left.This was the first time I heard Sebastian has a fiancé.I had no idea even while I was working in the skyline group.I quickly went to find out what Taylor Baker looked like, or else it would be embarrassing if I didn't recognize her when she arrived.However, I was shocked when j saw her picture. I looked at it in disbelief.I waited for he
Thereafter, Michael didn't do anything intimate with me. He only whispered a few words, then he let me go.From the look on his face, while watching the footage, he knew we interacted and were not newly acquainted.He stood up angrily.“Mr Donovan, the people of RSTV station don't know the relationship between Michael and Eleanor.Nothing is going on between them.” Ethan said.“Nothing, huh? He asked in a deep voice. His gaze was still fixed on the footage.He thought, and his facial muscles were tense.Ethan stood quietly, staring at him. He didn't dare breathe loudly.Without the footage, no one would have ever known we knew each other. However, it has said it all. Michael and I have known each other for a very long time.“I want you to buy the TV station immediately,” Sebastian yelled and his voice echoed.“Yes sir, I will work on that right away.”Meanwhile, I was happy. I had just finished my interview.I was not only employed, there was no probation period and I signed a contra
“Why are you having snacks and drinks for lunch? He asked.“I thought Selene gave you her debit card.”“Why is my life your business? I asked angrily.His question sounded ridiculous, so I stood up and was about to leave.“Come have lunch with me.” He said and followed.“Why would I want to have lunch with you? There are hundreds of ladies out there who will gladly accept not me.”“None of them would dine with me.” He said.“That's your problem, not mine,” I said and turned to leave.“Eleanor, come on, please. I will take you somewhere nice.”“Fine…” I said as I remembered how hungry I was.We sat by the window side in a high-end restaurant.I couldn't understand what he was trying to do.It felt like he was trying to reconcile with me, but I told him it was never going to happen.Our meal arrived, and I noticed he ordered all of my favorite meals“Michael, I hope you are not trying to get back with me.” I teased.He was taken aback, then he looked at me.“Stop overthinking this.”“It
The lady looked familiar, but I couldn't recognize who she was. Maybe she was a celebrity.I don't pay much attention to celebrities, but I do see them on the news occasionally.“I'm sorry,” I said.The lady looked at me like she noticed something that got her threatened.“Do you work here? She asked, looking irritated.“No.”“Do you know how much this dress costs, can you afford to pay for it, do you think your apology can get the stain off?The staff were all staring at me like snubs. They ignored me because it was a situation of the rich bullying the poor.I didn't want to argue with her. Most importantly, Sebastian might come in soon, so I needed to leave.“Don't you dare try to run away?” The lady (Taylor Baker) said as she grabbed my dress.I was trapped.The door of the restaurant was pushed open and Sebastian walked in with his bodyguards.The manager quickly went to meet him in fear because he wasn't expecting to see him.“Mr. Donovan, would you like us to clear this place? H
“Get into the car, let's go home and talk.” She said.I got into the car along with my kids. They were having their chocolate with them.However, Zoe wasn't having any. She sat quietly looking at the chocolate in their hands. It was obvious she wanted hers.Robert looked at her, then back at the chocolate in his hand, then without hesitation, he gave it to her.She was shy at first because she felt awkward. Then she took it.They took turns eating the chocolate.It was an unhygienic game.I wasn't sure if I should stop them or not.On a normal day, Selene would have stopped Zoe, but her focus was currently on me and the kids who she heard call me mummy.She was looking troubled.When we got to my apartment, my kids ran inside. They started playing with each other.It was Zoe's first time here, but she was comfortable with my kids. They went along so well.Meanwhile, Selene kept looking at my apartment while she was observing everywhere, I offered her water.“Thanks but I don't want
Eleanor's POV “I never knew you were related to them. Ethan said.I knew he was referring to Mr. Gabriel and Selene. With the look of things, Sebastian wants nothing to do with Donovan's family.“I wasn't aware as well, I just found out recently,” I said.“Was it the reason you wanted to quit? He asked.“Yes.”There was no point lying to him anymore.“As our previous staff, I want you to know that if you have issues getting another job, you can come back and ask Mr. Donovan for help.” “Are you insinuating that no one will hire me if I go look for a job, is it because of Mr. Donovan? I asked, frowning.“No, I'm not insinuating that. All I'm trying to say is if Mr. Donovan decides that no one will hire you, no one would dare go against his order.” He explained.I understood what he was trying to say. Many prestigious company owners are loyal to Mr. Donovan.And if they know I'm fighting against the skyline group, no one would dare go against his command unless they have made up their
