AUTHOR’S POV

The commotion from earlier had died down but there were still traces of murmurs about the confrontation earlier.

Isla had managed to get the riot over her supposed disrespect to Elle under control, but Elle knew it was just temporary because she had more tricks up her sleeve.

The women who had snatched her away from Theon before he could push for explanations for the words she had carelessly let slip past her lips, had long gone.

Elle could only manage to indulge them for a few minutes before she slipped from them, eager to catch a break from the mindless chatters of the women.

She had found herself on the balcony, away from the crowd so she could recoup herself before the main course.

Elle sipped her champagne, watching Isla from the balcony. She had taken her group of friends to the far end of the room instead of the middle she would have preferred, and she was seething.

Elle took note of Isla’s hand wrapped tightly around the glass. She was barely listening to her frie

    ELLEI didn’t expect it to feel this satisfying to watch Isla fall. It reminded me of her words the night I had gone to her for help. It felt so good to see her humiliated and no doubt she would be tossed aside.Theon’s question sliced through the thick that had cloaked the room when he first spoke up. All eyes were on Isla, waiting to hear what she would say but she was frozen like a deer caught in the blinding headlights of the truth.“Answer me” Theon bellowed, his loud voice surprising everyone and forcing Isla out of the trance she was in.“I…I…I didn’t drug her” she stammered, tears welling up in her eyes “I just made the video to scare her. I had planned to blackmail her to leave you but I was just as shocked to see it played at the party but it wasn’t me. I swear”Theon didn’t blink. He wasn’t moved by the tears that were spilling down her face and neither were the guests who had gathered. They all looked at her with disgust and anger, as if they were waiting for Theon to fini

    ELEANOR The soft rustling of silk and lace filled the air as I twirled softly for the second time to admire the wedding dress I had on in front of the mirror. The dress clung to me in all the right places, accentuating my slender frame before cascading to the floor. I was currently in the private show room of Bridal Dreams, a shop owned by the renowned Lisabelle Jones, the most sought-after bridal dress designer in the country and this was my fourth fitting so far. My wedding was going to be happening in less than a week and I couldn’t wait. Every move I made was filled with nerves as though something would go wrong but it’s so close now and I couldn’t wait any more. It still felt like a dream even though I knew it wasn’t. I was finally going to be the bride I always dreamed of. I turned to my best friend, Isla who was sitting on the couch behind me. “So, what do you think?” I asked, my voice edged with excitement and nervousness. Isla Crawford, my best friend since childho

    ELEANOR It was time for the engagement dinner, and we were currently in the grand dining hall of the Blackwell’s estate. The place was a show of luxury. Every piece looked like it cost millions of dollars, and it made me go back to my discussion with Isla. I guess I could consider myself lucky. I was sitting beside Theon, my fingers curled tightly around my glass as I forced a smile on my face while pretending that Theon’s cold behaviour wasn’t getting to me. He had been distant ever since I walked through the door and while this cold demeanor was nothing new, I had expected him to be a bit warmer since the night was for us. I know some people would say Theon didn’t love me since he wasn’t very vocal about his feelings, but I had learnt to read the unspoken language of his subtle gestures. His love for me was present in the way his hand rested on the back of my chair anytime I sat close to him or how he always positioned himself between me and anything that would cause me the s

    ELEANOR The world tilted beneath my feet, and I held on to the chair, so I didn’t fall from the sway that rocked me. The whispers around me grew but none of it mattered. At that moment, I didn’t care about the whispers, the horrified and disgusted expressions, the accusing eyes. None of them mattered. The only thing that mattered was him. “Theon, please” I choked out, forcing my legs to move as I ran after him. Theon didn’t stop. He didn’t even glance back when my leg made contact with a chair, and I winced out in pain. I managed to grab his sleeve, desperate for him to listen to me first. “Theon, listen to me. At least let me explain” I voiced desperately “These emails, the photos, they are fake. I don’t know who did this and why, but I swear to you, I would never betray you” My world stilled as he stopped. I waited for him patiently but desperately as he turned to me but the man who turned to me wasn’t the same one, I had planned to marry. “Theon” I whispered, my voic

    ELEANOR The beeping of the hospital monitors was the only thing keeping me company in the quiet room. I sat beside my father’s bed, my hand gripping his tightly as I prayed to whatever was up there to save my father. And maybe my relationship. Dad was still unconscious, and I couldn’t help but blame myself. I caused this. Everyone else thought the same as well. The doctor had said he fainted because his blood pressure was high so we needed to make sure he avoided anything that would stress him out. Mom had not looked at me since. She stayed at the other end of the bed and had not stopped crying as well. I knew she blamed me. I could see it in her body’s telltale signs that she blamed me. “Aiden” Mom suddenly called out and I looked up to see that Dad had indeed woken up. His eyes fluttered open and he looked around the room first to see where he was. A shaky breath of relief escaped my lips and my eyes watered from the relief, but my relief was short-lived when I saw the emotio

    THEON I didn’t know how to feel or react. The only thing I was certain of was that betrayal had a taste, and I didn’t like it. It was bitter, metallic like blood and lingered even though hours had passed since I first tasted it. I sat in my home office, staring at the countless articles written about Eleanor. Images and accusations lined every title, each one more vicious than the last. They were not taking it easy on her and somehow; I felt responsible. Eleanor and I had met after an arranged blind date by our families, and I had to be truthful when I said I wasn't fond of her at first. I had met countless girls like her in my grandfather's effort to make sure I got a wife. I didn't know how it happened. Maybe it was her persistence, but I became fond of her. I looked forward to every meeting. I wanted to be around her all the time. I wanted to touch her, spoil her. Maybe I was not as open in my affection, but I tried. Did my lack of display push her to betray me? Was I so des

    ELEANORFIVE YEARS LATERI lingered and I hated that I did. I was not supposed to, but I guess this was a big moment. It was something I had carefully crafted for years, and it was time for it to happen.“Don’t hesitate, Eleanor. They won’t recognize you anyway” I muttered to myself and took a deep breath.I held on to my limited edition pursed and stepped into the room.The moment I stepped in through the oversized double doors of the grand ballroom where the event was happening, the air became electric, and the attention shifted to me.The room that had been loud with chatter, laughter and excitement became quiet as all eyes turned to me.Yes. I wanted to scream out loud while wearing a proud grin, but I couldn’t. The image I wore wouldn’t permit me to act so foolishly like a child.Everyone’s attention was drawn to me immediately. Their eyes held more than mere curiosity. I could taste the awe, the intrigue and the envy and God, did it taste and feel amazing.I was back.I could s

    THEONThe moment the hall began to be filled with whispers and snide comments, I became disinterested in whatever game she was playing with Isla. I had always been softer with Isla because she was Eleanor’s friend. After Eleanor went missing, she came to me distraught. She told me Eleanor came to her but refused her help and left, saying she would be fine but she disappeared. Maybe it was guilt but when she made known her intention to become an actress, I gave her an opportunity and surprisingly, she climbed up the ladder of success fast. “Come on” I muttered as I reached for Elle with a firm but not forceful grip and I pulled her away as the situation looked like it would get out of hand if she continued her conversation with Isla. “Don’t follow” I ordered her assistant, Sophie when she tried to come after us. I expected her to resist but she didn’t even though I could feel it that she wanted to oppose but she also didn’t want to cause a scene. “What is it?” she had a smirk on

    ELEANORI held on to Theon as we crossed the room and approached Isla. Eyes followed us, with the regular looks of envy and wistful wishes as we approached Isla.I thought she was yet to notice that we were here since she was basking in the attention, she got but as she kept on talking to the people around her who had started whispering and subtly looking in my direction, I saw her hands twitch.Ah. So, she is mad.“Isla” Theon called when we reached her, and she spun with a fake smile which I returned with a sweet one.I loved seeing the pure and unfiltered jealousy in her eyes as her gaze flickered between me and Theon while lingering on my hand wrapped around his.At this moment, I wished I could read minds. I wanted to know what was running though that pathetic head of hers seeing me yet again have something she could never have.For years, she had wanted Theon. She dreamt of standing by his side. She had carved her path through the entertainment industry, signing with Black Enter

    ELEANORThe tension between me and Theon had eased a bit after the visit to the mall. I’m sure he hadn’t told Victoria about the mall being handed over to me because I had yet to see her. The Victoria I knew wouldn’t sit back and let that happen.And so will I. Now that Theon had offered to give me the mall, I would make sure nothing stopped me from getting it. Theon didn’t realize that he just handed me his first destruction on a clean sheet of paper.I’m not going to ruin the business, I am going to take it from him. What he thought Victoria couldn’t do, I’ll succeed and by the time he realized what was happening, it would be too late.“Ellie” Sophie sang as she entered my office with a big grin on her face.I lit up as well. One, because Sophie’s mood was highly contagious and two, because I knew she had news that was going to make my day better.“Did you hear? Isla is having a party thrown in her honour” She grinned and I could see the wheels turning in her head.“For what?”“Her

    ELEANORThe air between us was suffocating. I sat in the back seat with Theon, my arms crossed and my gaze fixed on the city as it blurred with the speed of the car. I didn’t want to be in the car with Theon, didn’t want to look at him or even talk to him but I had no other choice because we had a public outing. The tension between us was thick as neither one of us wanted to yield to the other, especially me. He was the wrong one by having someone dig into me when we had an agreement. I sighed for the millionth time and turned to glare at him with irritation. We were dressed to match. He had on a dark blue suit and I wore a simple but elegant blue dress to match. “Why exactly are we going to this mall? And why do I have to be the one to go with you?” Theon’s lips tilted slightly in a victory smirk and I cussed because he won our silent battle. “It needs a visit. I don’t like how things are looking”“But Victoria manages this one doesn’t she?” “She does”I shook my head as I conn

    ELEANOR“Sophie, please check if the RealMe CEO has contacted us regarding the investment they wanted to make. We can only do one batch this time and if they are still contemplating, let’s give the opportunity to IXI”“Okay. They are usually eager with investments, I don’t know why they are holding back this time” She muttered.Halfway up the stairs, my phone rang and it was Jeremy calling.“What’s up?” I asked as soon as I answered the calls.“Ellie, we may have a little problem” he sounded worried so I hurried up the stairs and locked the door behind me when I entered my bedroom.“What happened?” I asked, already close to panicking because it was not often Jeremy called to tell me we had a problem.“It’s Theon. He followed you two days ago when you came to the house” he said and I froze.“What?” I whispered, barely containing my fear “How did you find out?”“You know I always check the security feed around the house once in a while so I decided to do it today and I noticed a car pul

    ELEANOR “I think you are more excited about the visit than Mils” Sophie teased. Today, it was just going to be the two of us, so I had given the driver a day off, so Sophie was driving. It had been almost two months since I saw my baby and I missed him like crazy. I couldn’t risk Theon seeing Milo, so I had him and Jeremy living at a secluded location far from where Theon or his family lived. I didn’t want them to run into each other. “I miss my baby, Soph. I hate every minute that I am away from him. He is growing so fast, and I am missing important parts of his childhood” Sophie softened and reached over to hold my hand “You are doing this to protect him” “I know but I still hate it” I mumbled, and she laughed softly. We arrived at the house, crawling with security on my insistence. The car rolled to a stop in front of the entrance and my shoulders eased. I was home. The only one that mattered. It may not be my house, but Milo was here, so it was home. J
