“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
“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
Eleanor's POV I woke up with soreness all over my body, even my bones felt like leaving my joints.I opened my eyes tiredly, and I came face to face with a good-looking man.His facial features looked so sharp under the early morning sun that shined into the room.He had a tall brow ridge and a deep nice set of eyes, with the morning sunset on his face, his messy hair cast a shadow on his face, but it could not hide the arrogance in his face.I looked at him, admiring him, but soon my mind flashed back to the previous night. It filled my mind, and it made me gasp quietly. I quickly held my mouth to avoid making a noise.Did I just…?I suddenly remembered the previous night, it happened so quickly.I recently found out my boyfriend of six years was cheating on me. Hence, it made me go to a bar to drink and drown my fury.I asked the waiter to bring me the strongest liquor they had. I had a low tolerance for alcohol and I felt like throwing up after having one shot.I ran to the bathro
POV At that time, I was still a student and I didn't want a child.However, while I was planning to abort the child, I discovered I was having quadruplets.The news was such a big shock to me that I even fainted in the doctor's office on hearing it. What should I do? I can't abort four babies?I decided to keep the pregnancy and continue school. By the time I graduated, I had given birth to four children.They are Mitchell, a girl, Victoria a girl, Robert a boy, and Matthew a boy as well.I have two daughters and two sons, and each of them are unique in their own way.My four kids meant I had four more people to cater for. My kids would finish a tin of food a day that was meant for at least a week.Occasionally, I just grumble that the man wasn't just good in bed, but he was also virile.One night with him made me pregnant with quadruplets.Shortly after my kids turned two years old, I went back to my country. My main aim was to find a job.I sent resumes to different companies, but
Sebastian POVVIP 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
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,
“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.

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?

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?

“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
