Sebastian POV
VIP club room, I frequently have insomnia, and it makes me unable to fall asleep. But that night I managed to sleep while cuddling a woman, but the woman ran away.“Woman, don't think you can run away from me”I thought that I wasn't concerned with relationships or anything that has to do with a man and a woman.However, that night, I discovered the joy of being a man through that woman. I even wanted to pin her down and bully her thoroughly.“Who is this woman that came here that night?This is a VIP room, and clearly it is not a place people could easily access.My personal assistant immediately lowered his head and replied.“Sir, besides some employee from the TV station who came here that day for interviews, there is no one else”“I want you to bring me the details of every staff In the TV station”“My personal assistant didn't understand what was happening, so he hurriedly brought their details for me. One of the pictures caught my attention.“Eleanor sterling”Oh I see. Your name is Eleanor. I will see how you're going to escape from my traps…Eleanor's POV I thought I had to start job hunting again, but the unexpected happened in less than a week. I got a call after submitting my resume. It was no other but the skyline group in Springville who had sent me an employment letter.Joy filled my heart. Although it was a receptionist position, but it was still under the skyline group.Even top graduates of famous universities are hoping to get a job at skyline group.People always prefer working as part of the top management in skyline group rather than start up their own company. This is to show you how powerful the company was.So why would I not be excited?I might even lose my composure on seeing the influential elites because I have dreamt of being in such a position someday.Yet, in a minute I got discouraged. To such people, I'm a little miss nobody who just got a job.The supervisor who interviewed me had a name badge on her shoulder and her name was Natalie Prescott. She seemed like someone in her late thirties.She wore a suit, portraying a stern and neat image.“Being a receptionist is not an easy job, you get countless calls daily, and you will deal with different people. You might offend them if you aren't attentive. Therefore, you have to be smart to answer those calls.Your training will be for a month. Be your best” she explained.“I promise”I looked at the employment contract before I started working.Being a receptionist was not easy, I stood the whole time.Anyway, it's understandable because I'm still learning.As it got to noon, a car honked and parked outside the gate. Immediately, a horde of security stood at the entrance, they were all in uniforms.A fellow receptionist who stood beside me reminded me.“Mr. Sebastian Donovan is here”The name Sebastian Donovan made my neck straighten.Sebastian Donovan was known as Mr. Donovan from skyline group. I lost my job because of the interview I was supposed to have with him.I secretly looked toward the entrance gate admist the crowd, knowing that he was a renowned figure.A bodyguard opened the door and a slender leg popped out of the car.A man walked towards the entrance with a cold expression on his face.His aura was so chilly that everyone around him felt suffocating.I secretly raised my head a little and peeped towards the entrance.“His legs were quite long”Afterward, my gaze fell on him and suddenly, my mind went numb when I saw the handsome yet cold face.“How could this be him?Isn't he the gigolo at the club? How did he become Sebastian Donovan, the person in charge of the skyline group? Why am I so unlucky? Why did I meet him here?I was so afraid that he would see me, I dropped my head down in fear.Unfortunately for me, he already knew I had joined the company, and his gaze fell on my scared face.He couldn't help but stare at me, and I knew he recalled the night we both shared.I also flashed back to the way he held my thin waist, and it felt like it might break.I wish nothing more than to stay in his embrace and let him please him.However, he retracted his gaze and walked towards the elevator.I didn't dare to raise my head until he walked into the elevator.I was in a state of confusion.How could I have known that he was Sebastian and not an escort? He is one of the wealthiest and influential families in Springville.If he finds out about his children, he will fight to gain their custody. That will never happen. I'm their mother, and I will make sure he doesn't know about their existence.“I think he doesn't recognize me”I strongly made up my mind to quit working in the skyline group.I went and informed Natalie that I wanted to quit, and immediately she flared up."What!! Are you kidding me? Why do you want to quit?“Nothing”“You have to give me a valid reason”I didn't even dare to say the truth.“What am I even supposed to say, huh? I can't just say I had a one-night stand with Mr. Donovan and had four kids with him. So I had no other choice but to be quiet and quit.“Do you know why I choose you out of the applicants? She asked.I went mute.“ What!! I have no idea about it, many applicants just for a receptionist job? As expected, in the Skyline group, any position is high.”“Since you can't give me a valid reason, then you have to keep working. Do you think I can get a replacement in just a short period of time? When I finally find an applicant, you are now saying you want to quit just after a day. Get out of my sight”“Okay ma'am” I answered and helplessly left and went back to my work.I could only console myself.“ Why am I worried, Sebastian may not have recognized me. I can still leave when Mrs. Natalie finds someone else”At this moment, I lost all hope in the job. I was just wondering if I should look for a new job.I stood in my heels wearing a frown on my face.The truth is, I don't think my resume even met with the company's requirements. Sebastian was the one who made then lay me off at the TV station and instructed them to accept my resume.However, Natalie reported to the personal assistant about my request to quit the job.In the office, Sebastian's slender figure was sitting like a king on his chair as he listened to my report from his personal assistant, and his face suddenly turned cold.“Eleanor wants to quit her job?...Sebastian POV“Countless people struggle to join this skyline group, and here she wants to quit her job. Did she get bullied or what?” I thought as I got the report that she wishes to resign.Without hesitating, I instructed Ethan to bring me the footage from the reception without giving it a second thought.Ethan looked at me in shock before he replied and left to carry out my order.A few minutes later, the computer screen was in front of me and I watched the video footage from the reception. I clicked on one of the videos, zoomed in, and Eleanor popped on the screen.She is currently being watched and completely unaware. I looked at her as she stood at the receptionist desk in a straight posture. I zoomed in again, so I could see her expressions clearly.It was noon and she was still standing. She has been standing since morning and will remain standing until five in the evening.I guess this is the first time she ever stood long, especially on heel. It will make her feet sore.I k
Eleanor's POV The way he pushed me into the car seemed like he couldn't wait to devour me.He pressed onto my body as he panted heavily.“Don't move!! I will take care of you if you become my girlfriend"I had a revolting look on my face as I perceived his scent. I was unable to accept his intimacy.Just when I thought I was helpless, the weight on my body disappeared instantly. I looked up and was shocked to see my savior.Sebastian narrowed his eyes as he held on to Nick's shirt with one hand.it was so obvious that he was pissed.“Your one wish was to die, and I will grant it” Sebastian said as he kicked Nick's abdomen so hard, making him fly into the air.“Ahhhhh” Nick shrieked while curling up on the ground.Sebastian glared at him angrily. Thankfully, he decided to follow me, if not, Nick would have harassed me.Immediately, his assistant came with some security and they dragged Nick away.I was still inside Nick's car, as I curled up into a ball. I was still in shock from the
Eleanor's POV Scared that my kids would fall off the bed, I had to keep them on the mat instead.The mat was on the floor, and it was big enough. So it was comfortable to sleep on it with my kids.I laid on the mat with my quadruplets surrounding me. It was a lovely sight to behold.Sleeping next to my children was like sleeping near a fireplace. Because you get warm all night. With them by my side, I slept peacefully.The next day, I went to the HR department to report to work.The person in charge was Mr. Ethan Sebastian's assistant. He took me into the conference room, and he introduced me to the members that I was now the secretary.The conference room is big, even bigger than my apartment.There were flower vases placed on each side of the table and a projector was used for their meetings.As we left the conference room, Mr. Ethan took me to the secretarial department.The atmosphere was stiff, it was like I was in an exam hall. No one talked or zoned out inside there.However,
Eleanor's POV “Hmmm… Miss Eleanor sterling, why are you not telling me the truth” he said.He glided his hands through my hair, down to my neck and stopped at my bosom.I was wearing a tight pencil gown which highlighted my curvy buttocks.I remained reluctant to admit it, and he smirked.He grabbed my waist and thruster toward me.“Argh” I screamed, and my cheeks flushed red. Even though his aroused shaft was not in me, it was caressing the sensitive area in between my legs.He purposely tormented me by rubbing against my sensitive area. I tried to compose myself, but it was all in vain.“I…I… I don't know anything about it, Mr. Donovan. I'm just an employee in this company.”“I want you to mind your behavior, we are in a public space where people are outside the door. If someone opens this door, it will definitely cause a stir”I struggled to free myself from his grip.He grabbed my jaw, leaned closer to me and looked into my eyes.“Did you just say you don't know anything? Do you
POV “Ele, over here….”I looked around as I had someone call my name and I saw Lucy coming towards me.There were both men and women in the lounge. I spotted a familiar face in the crowd, and I halted immediately.I felt a dull ache in my heart.I dated Michael six years ago. He was a playboy and he cheated on me.In my curiosity, I looked around, but didn't see any woman.“Ele, why were you standing in a gaze? Lucy asked.“Happy birthday Lucy” I said as I came back to my senses. I tried to act calm as I gave Lucy a gift.Contempt flashed across Lucy's eyes when she saw the gift box I was holding.The lady standing beside her burst out in laughter when she looked at it as well.“Ele, don't you think this gift looks too shabby? Lucy said.“How much is it? Someone from the crowd shouted.Lucy took the box and opened it. A pair of gold studded earrings was inside. She picked it up and shook it in front of the crowd.“I bet this is not up to thirty bucks. She probably got it at a mall”“
POV As Sebastian spoke, he came closer to me. I was hanging my head low.“What are you doing here? He asked in a low tone.While I was still shivering in fear, he dragged me and pulled me to him, shielding me with his arm.Everyone who was making a joke of me initially looked in shock as they saw his domineering action.Before he left, he tilted his body slightly, raking a gaze at the crowd.“You better be on your best behavior whenever you see Eleanor” he said as his gaze fell on Lucy.The glint in his eyes made Lucy terrified. She dared not stare at his eyes again.She took a step backwards as she became frightened.Lucy and the others coaxed me to drink when she knew I was light-headed and as such, I became tipsy and drowsy.Sebastian guards drove the car closer, and they helped me get into the car.As I entered the car, I perceived a whiff of Sebastian's familiar scent.I clung onto his embrace and held his waist like a teddy bear.Sebastian was still stock throughout the ride. I
POV I called Ethan, and immediately I got home.“Hello, my child drew on your car. How much do I have to pay as compensation? I asked.“Umm…slightly over five though Dollars. If I round it up, it will make it five thousand dollars”.“Five thousand dollars!!! I shouted.I was devastated.“I take care of my kids from the salary I earn, I don't have such an amount of money. Can I please pay installmentally? I pointed out.“Where is your husband?I choked and rolled my eyes on hearing his question.I went speechless.Ethan, who was on the other side of the phone, paused for a moment.“Alright, I will let you pay installmentally"I was beyond relieved when he finally accepted. My kids were having the best time of their lives with their new toys.Matthew was practicing how to shoot with his toy gun.While Robert and Victoria were running around. Suddenly, Victoria fell to the floor and started crying.Robert ran towards her and comforte
My heart was beating so fast that I was sure he could hear it.I felt completely helpless, like a fly being caught in a web.“Mr. Donovan, will you marry me if I let you touch me? I asked.My nerves were tense as I patiently gazed at him.I had to think about that to throw him off my trail. I wouldn't have let him guess about the kids. “What do you mean by that? He asked as his dark gaze fell on me.“I will let you touch me if you marry me” I continued.Everyone has always talked about Mr. Donovan being a playboy bachelor. He wasn't the type that would ever get married, and I'm sure at the mention of marriage it will scare him off.I flinched uncomfortably immediately. His grip tightened on my jaw and forced me to look at him.“Is that what you want? He asked. His voice was like a deep roar.“Well, I don't think anyone would ever refuse to being Mrs. Donovan. Who doesn't want a Cinderella love story” I said as I tried my best to calm my nerves?I was battling with mixed emotions in
“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
