THEON

I was buried in contracts, trying to forget everything that had happened a few days ago. I was holding back from going back to see Milo, and I couldn’t get Elle’s expression out of my head.

She had looked close to falling apart when I asked her if Milo was her son. I could still see how her hands trembled when she warned me to stay away from him. I still didn’t know if he was the same as the boy, but her reaction told me I may be right.

The door to my office flew open, hitting the wall “What the fuck, Julian?” I growled, not appreciating the barge into my office like it was a marketplace.

“You are here and everything is falling apart” He practically growled at me “You need to stop burying your head in files all the and actually keep up with shit that happens”

“I don’t see why I should”, I sighed.

“This,” he slammed his iPad on my table and pointed at it “This is why you should always know what the fuck is going on around you”

I looked at him with an arched brow, wondering what wa

This chapter isn't the best since I am a little sick, so I apologise. I didn't want to go the day without dropping something, so I forced myself to write this. Please don't be angry with the quality.

    ELLEI didn’t expect Theon to agree to go with me to the gala hosted by my parents, but I guess he also wanted to see who this Eleanor was.He hadn’t said anything since he agreed to accompany me to the party.“Are you okay?” I asked, hiding a smirk.Theon turned to me with a frown. He eyed me silently before focusing on the road.He had decided to drive us to the party instead of a driver, and I had no complaints.I must admit that it was a bit unnerving how quiet Theon had become. He wouldn’t answer any of my questions; neither did he even glance my way.Should I say I hated it that he was ignoring me?No. That wasn’t it. I enjoyed it. I loved how rattled he looked.He was obviously affected by the news of Eleanor’s return, and I anticipated the look on his face when he would finally meet her.My eyes fell on his hands, which were tightly gripped against the wheel. His knuckles were almost white, and his brows were furrowed.The sight brought a pleased smile to my face. The almighty

    ELLE“Say what you want to say here,” Theon demanded again.Eleanor glanced at me first, then the guests and back to Theon with fake nervousness in her eyes.“Not here.” She insisted, “I don’t know what you think I want to say to you, but I can guarantee you that it is not something you would want me to say here”Theon raised a brow but gestured towards her “Then lead the way”Theon pulled me gently, but Eleanor stopped when she realised I was coming with them. She eyed me with obvious irritation and turned to Theon.“I meant just you,” she said with barely restrained frustration. “It’s something sensitive”“If Elle is coming, and it’s not up for discussion,” Theon coldly told her, much to my surprise. Since when did my husband fight for me?I knew better than to think he did it out of affection. Something told me Theon was trying to make her jealous.He wanted her to see that he was happier without him. I was delighted to play along while his plans worked magic.Eleanor’s eyes burned

    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

    ELLE“Hey Ellie boo” Jeremy sang as he burst into my office like it was his workspace and I rolled my eyes at his bright energy this early in the morning.“What do you want? Have you found an alternative school for Milo yet?” It’s been days since my argument with Theon, and I have avoided him like a plague ever since.Or maybe he was the one avoiding me? Who cared? All I knew was that I had not seen him since, and I was relieved. I didn’t think I could look at him and not want to hurt him.Was I overreacting? Maybe, but I would never let him find out about Milo.“I think you should change your mind,” he said, dumping himself on the couch and reaching for the bag of chips Sophie had kept on the table.“About what?” I asked with a frown.“Pulling Milo out of Lockwood,” he said, and I glared at him.“I can’t believe you are saying this.” I hissed, “Don’t you know why we are doing this?”“I know, but we have to consider what Milo wants as well.”“Why?” I asked, “He shouldn’t care about wh

    AUTHOR’S POVMira Sterling paced the length of her spacious and extravagant bedroom with a frown. She was seething and could barely control the fury that was simmering underneath her controlled expression.“The audacity of that small fly to walk me out of her office,” She fumed. “She dismissed me like I was nothing.”Mira could not calm down. That woman, Elle or whatever she called herself, had humiliated her by calling security to drag her out like some lowlife beggar.“I will make her regret treating me like that,” she swore. “Everything is happening because of that useless child of mine. If she had married Theon instead, I wouldn’t have to encounter brats like this one.”Mira took a seat on her bed. Since she returned from Elle’s office two days ago, she had been continuously seething. She hadn’t been able to calm down because she kept thinking about that day.No one dared speak to her since they saw how prickly she was. Not even her husband, who left on a business trip this morning

    ELLEI stormed out of the mansion without a clue as to where I wanted to go next. All I knew was that I had to be far from Theon before I lost it.“The keys!” I screamed at the driver standing by the car. When he handed them over, I snatched them from him and drove out of the compound like a mad woman.My hands were clenched so tightly around the steering wheel that my knuckles turned white. Theon’s words played in loops in my head, and I couldn’t stop it.I dialled Sophie. “Meet me at the house,” I told her as soon as she answered the call.“Elle?” her voice was laced with worry and confusion “What’s going on?”“Just meet me there. I can’t talk,” I told her, ending the call before she could ask another question.The drive to the house was fast and dangerous, and it was a miracle I made it in one piece, but right now, my safety was the least of all my worries.I knocked loudly on the door, and Jeremy opened it shortly.“Ellie? What are you doing here?” he asked, his eyes wide with sur

    THEONToday was one of the few times that I was able to have dinner with Elle. It was quiet as usual, with the clinking of the cutlery as the only noise to accompany us as we ate.I could not stop watching her, and she noticed, but she was not saying anything. No matter how I tried, I could not get Milo out of my head, and it didn’t help that I kept linking Elle and Milo to that drawing I had found in her room.I took another sip of my wine as I again visualised Milo beside Elle to see if I would find a similarity.“You’ve had your eyes on me all evening,” Elle spoke, not lifting her head from her plate to stare at me. “Is there something on my face?”“No, nothing is on your face,” I answered, dropping the glass on the table. “I just have something on my mind.”“Business?” she asked. Even though her tone was guarded like always, it still surprised me.Elle was never one to care about what happened with me. She never asked how my day was, what I was up to, or anything like that.“No,”

    AUTHOR’S POVElle sat with a satisfied smirk as she admired the papers in her hand. Theon had finally completed transferring his shares in the hotel chains to her. She knew Reginald was going to come barking anytime soon and she could not wait to see the expression on his face as he whined like a little bitch.She dropped the papers on her table and spun her chair, giggling happily while looking around her office space. She still could not believe how far she had gotten in just five years.“Who knew that tossing me out would be the best thing that had ever happened in my life?” She smirked.Though she wanted revenge on everyone who hurt her, she was still grateful that what happened did happen. Back then, all she wanted was to marry Theon and be happy, but the fall from grace forced her to find herself and work hard to achieve everything she wanted but never worked towards.A knock disrupted her celebratory moment, and she quickly put the papers back in her drawer, knowing it wouldn’t

    THEONI told myself it was nothing, but that was the biggest lie I had ever told. Before I knew it, I was back in my car, headed for Lockwood Academy again.I had called Mrs. Luther early in the morning to inform her that I would be coming to the Academy to check out a few things and discuss something with her.That was a lie. The truth? I couldn’t get Milo out of my head.I couldn’t understand why, and it was absurd, if you asked me, because he was just a kid I met yesterday. He was supposed to be another of the numerous kids I encountered daily, but this one stuck.His eyes that looked oddly familiar and sparked with curiosity. The way he held on to me and bounced excitedly when we talked. It felt like I knew him forever, like he was mine.I had told my assistant to clear my schedule for the rest of the day because I didn’t plan to go back to the office. If I could, I might spend the rest of the day at the school.Work could wait. Whatever this strange pull was I had towards the kid
