Eleanor's POV

After 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.

    Eleanor's POV On hearing my quest, she was stunned and was silent for a while.Then she said,“I would get angry if other people asked me this question like that, but you are my daughter, you have every right to question me.”“Gabriel's ex-wife died of high blood pressure. I met him after his wife's death. People said I was his mistress and married him for his money, but no one knew how much I had suffered.”I didn't know whether to believe her or not, but I did. However, I made a choice not to blame her.After all, I knew better than anyone how frustration can push someone into behaving differently.I also know the terrible effects rumors can have on someone.“If I didn't get married to him, there would still be someone else. When his wife died, he was still young. It's impossible to expect him never to remarry. It was just bad timing.” She said,I couldn't stop myself, and I felt bad for her at that moment.“They are simply rumors. I have learned not to ever take rumors to be true

    Eleanor's POV My fear went into overdrive. I knew I owed him an explanation.“I didn't mean to lie to you. I recently found out about my mother and also found out that she is married to the Donovan family. When I knew you weren't on good terms with your family, I tried to quit, but you didn't let me. I'm sorry.” I said stuttering.“Would you like me to take those off for you? He asked as he turned and looked at me ferociously.“My mother is not what you think of her, those are just rumors,” I said, trying desperately to make him understand.He flicked away his cigar and got up angrily.I tried to run, but there was no way I could compete with him even if I was given a head start.He caught me and pushed me against the wall.I felt a sharp pain tear through my back and I pleaded.“Don't please…”“You wished for death, and I will grant your wish.” He smirked.His rage took over him fully.My whole body started trembling.

    Eleanor's POV As I heard her question, I lowered my eyes to the ground and I remained silent.“Are you sure she has asthma? Sebastian asked with a darkened face.With the look on his face, Mrs. Edna could tell he was suspecting me, things weren't as simple as they seemed.“We can go for a check-up at the hospital.” She said and got up.His expression turned terrifying when he sensed the guilt on my face.“Then you have to go for the check-up.” He said.“I'm fine, I don't want to go.” I refused because I'm not asthmatic.“You don't have a choice.” He said and proceeded to drag me out of the suite.“Let me go.” I struggled, but there was no way I could break free from his grip. The more I struggled, the more my wrist became sore and felt like my bones were broken.After all my struggling, he still dragged me out. Mrs. Edna stood looking at the whole drama in shock. She thought to herself as she hurried to catch up with us.His car was already parked outside waiting for us. When we

While I was walking, I felt my body becoming weak and unable to go further, so I sat by the roadside and rested.Instead of taking a cab, I decided I was going to take the subway. I sat there staring at the moon shining brightly in the sky. It was a thrilling night.My body was weak, as if I encountered death but escaped.All of a sudden, the brightness of the moon was blocked by a shadow, and I trembled.When I looked up and saw the

    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

    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.

    “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

    “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.

    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
