Eliana's Pov The car stopped in front of a house surrounded with perfectly groomed flowers. The house itself had two floors and large windows. It looked nice and simple, but one could tell it cost a lot to be owned.It was beautiful. Homey. From the outside. I stepped out of the car, and I was impressed by the beauty of it all. It felt like a home, welcoming and comforting. Of course, I wasn't in the best mood, so I didn't pay as much attention as I probably should have.My new home. A home without Noah.Jerry and my bodyguard, Roger, helped me with my things while I wordlessly walked into the house. It had a beautiful interior, so stunning with the themes beige and white, the colours I loved. I could tell a lot of thoughts went to designing this place just for me, and I could feel my eyes watering.I tool in the paintings on the walls, my hand skimming over the surfaces lightly. A picture caught my eye, and I gasped, taking it in. It was a picture of me, one of the pictures that
Eliana’s POV Bella and Anna left the next day. My thoughts became too loud. I wanted to go see Noah, maybe beg him. But I already hurt that family enough. He didn't want to see me. He might have not opened the letter I wrote to him. I sighed into the darkness of my new room. The blinds were so think, it prevented rays of sun from entering. Just how I like it. It was four in the evening and it looked like it was midnight. The room was a beautiful room with the same themes white and beige. There was a large bookshelf filled with the books on my to be read list. Noah must have been snooping around to find out about that. There was a room connected to this one. It was a space for making garments. There were different machines that we fashion designers needed and there were mannequins ready for use.There were also different garments of different types enough to start a business. When I discovered the room, I burst into tears, again. Noah put in a lot of thought into this place. It was
Noah’s POV It's been 168 hours since I was forced to choose between being Eliana and sparing my mother's life.Seven days since I had to say goodbye to the woman I loved the most in the whole world and a week since I last went to the office, self isolating as I replayed the events of that day over and over, contemplating on how I could have done better to get a better result. I thought of a hundred ways that day could have gone without me hurting Eliana and and Fifty ended up with my mum getting killed by that maniac and the other ended up with, also my mum getting killed. It had to be done but why did I feel like shit? Why did I feel empty? Why did I feel like the only thing that made me happy has been taken from me?That's because it has been taken away from me, or rather, she has been taken away from me. Seeing her break down as I said those words haunted me, and knowing that she must be beating herself up for something like that wrecked me. Hearing she told him about the cont
Chapter 107 Eliana’s POV The distraction of my designing only lasted for a day. The next couple of days, I laid on my bed, crying from the memories.My friends have been sad about my relapse but they were as understanding as usual, taking good care of me and hanging around me.The rumours about our break up had spread like wildfire and Tiana already called to apologise. She offered to fly in but I told her not to worry.She didn't need to worry about me.I would be fine. It is just a matter of time. I lied, I would never be fine without Noah.For the first time, I decided to leave my house, take a walk around the little pack we had in this estate, so I heard from Anna.I wore a comfortable sweatshirt since fall was creeping in on us. I also wore jeans and boots, then attempted to put on a bit of makeup. The bags under my eye were evident, but I didn't want to think about it, just for today I didn't want to think about anything that would make me sad.I walked out of my door, and fo
Chapter 108Eliana’s POV I bought the place. Best thing I ever bought. We decided to meet during the weekend for the paper work. She was so nice and welcoming and even gave me some tips.I sort of felt I was moving too fast, I mean, I barely have a dress done in my collection and u already have a whole store for these clothes that I was yet to make.I put through a call to Bella Mia and Anna, their puzzled faces coming up as they looked at me. They were shocked that I was willingly calling them on my own accord. They didn't expect that me who was crying into my pillow would be the same me to pick up the phone and then make a call."Hey guys," I said and they replied the confusion and worry still etched on their faces. "Hey," they replied and it sounded more like a question than a greeting."Guys I found a space today."Bella smiled, "You left your house today, that's great. Do you feel better?" I grinned, showing them the space but they could only focus on Bree, "Awwn look at that c
Eliana’s POV Bella took up my phone and read out the message Oliver sent to me.Anna looked scared, petting my head as I brawled into the couch, "How is this guy watching us?"Mia rubbed her hands around herself, "God, this is creepy as hell."Bella had a thoughtful look on her face as she stared at the message. "I've seen this in a movie before. He is tapped into the cameras on the streets.""Wow," Anna said, and they all turned to look at her. She raised her hands in surrender, "It is impressive, to be honest. ""Whatever." She said and then got up to meet me, "Eliana," she said, patting my head, "I'm sorry you had to see that.""I thought he loved me," I said as I stopped crying and sat up.Bella wrapped her hands around me, "He does."I shook my head, "Didn't you see him with that, babe? He has already forgotten me." I screamed, and Anna and Mia kept trying to console me.Bella waited till I calmed down before she spoke, "I'm so sorry about this baby, but I feel something is up.
Eliana’s POV Bella, Mia and Anna stayed all through the night. They kept trying to convince me that Noah still loved me but I was done having hope. Oliver won and now he wants to gloat. Over my dead body.Who am I kidding, he would gloat anyway.I just laid in bed. Thinking. Trying to hold on to what Bella screamed at me earlier. "Goddammit Eliana. Noah loves you, more than he loves himself. So get that into your thick skull."I got offended, then I didn't want to talk to her anymore, Thinking she was only covering up for her brother. But I couldn't stay mad at her. I just hope she's right.I hope you still love me Noah, and yesterday has a good enough explanation if we would ever be together again. If you would ever forgive me for the contract. Bella took away my phone at five pm but I didn't mind since Anna and Mia were watching our favourite Netflix show and for a moment I let myself get carried away with it.********Noah’s POV At five on the dot, I hid behind a bush not wan
Eliana’s POV Bella sat beside me, her eyes on the screen but not focusing on the movie. Her eyes kept drifting to her phone and mine and her leg kept tapping on the floor. She looked nervous; I didn't understand why. I tried to focus on the movie but I was having issues focusing with the sound of her foot tapping the floor. I turned to her, "Bella." She didn't respond, her eyes still glued to the screen. I tapped her again, "Bella." I said, louder this time and my voice jolted her out of her trance. "What, what?" She responded, looking pale and scared. Her appearance confirmed my suspicions, something was definitely going on with Bella. Anna lowered the volume and both she and Mia turned to look at us. Bree crawled into my lap, something I've noticed she liked doing. "Are you okay, Bella?" Mia asked, coming to seat beside us. Bella nodded with a fake smile, "Yes I'm fine, why are you asking?" I scoffed, "Don't fucking lie, Bella." I tried to take her phone from her but a mess
