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
Eliana’s POV Another gunshot rang followed by another thud, and the rapid running of people into the warehouse brought me back to the present and I remembered to breathe."Yes! I was afraid I wasn't going to get those shots." Alex grinned as he came into my peripheral view.I shook as they lifted Oliver's body off the floor effortlessly, his eyes losing life slowly as they rushed him out followed by his associate's body, my mind reeling at what could have happened if Alex had missed the shot.My eyes moved to Noah who was on the floor gripping his side where Oliver had hit him. I ran to him, my eyes filling with tears. What if Alex had come just a minute late? What if he missed the shot? What if Oliver was faster than him?What if I lost the only person I loved more than my life today?"Noah, noah baby." I said, my hands shaking as I tried to talk to him. He looked at me with his hooded eyes and he smiled, "Eliana,"I burst into tears and held him close, my heart still trying to gra
Eliana’s POV After the party and cleaning up, Noah and I silently walked into his room, his hand never leaving mine as he opened his door. It was just as neat as I remembered, and I smiled as I saw the wrinkled paper on his nightstand. It was the letter I wrote before leaving that day. I looked back at him, and he smiled, the sides of his eyes crinkling, "That was the only thing that kept me going when you weren't here."I smiled, hooking my hands behind his neck, "Well, Bella kept reminding me about how much you loved me."He looked offended for a bit, "You doubted my love for you?" I stroke his little moustache, his hair needing a trim, "I doubted your love. Not because I felt you didn't love me, but I felt that I might have messed up my chance with you."He cradled my face in his hands, my heart beating racing as his eyes, my weak point, shone with love and adoration, "Because you told Oliver about the contract and what happened to my mother?"I nodded, sighing, "If I wasn't i
Chapter 114 Eliana’s POV We’ve been all over each other since the incident, but lately I saw his less mostly because of the noise after the opening of my boutique was yet to calm down. I had a lot of orders to meet up, but I missed seeing him as often as I normally did. I finished up my part of the work and put my appointed manager in charge of the processes for the weekend. I didn’t mind, she was a reliable woman so I knew my business was in good hands. I packed up and went home. I opened my door, and was met with rose petals on the floor, leading to a trail around the couch and I picked a sticky note on the mirror. It read “Oh look, the fairest of them all!” I immediately got the joke and I giggled, following the trail and heading into the kitchen, and I was led to another sticky note on the oven, it read, “I can be hot as fuck, but nowhere as hot as you mama,” and a face with a wink was drawn on it. Oh God, that was so bad. I laughed as I followed the trail out and it led to m
Chapter 115 Eliana’s POV Positive. It came out Positive. It was Official. Eliana Brookes is going to be a mother. My vision blurred as the test fell from my hand. I felt a million emotions, but the one which stood out was fear. Was I cut out to be a mother? Bella’s excited scream pierced through my thoughts and brought me back to the present and I almost choked as she wrapped her arms around me. “Oh my God Eliana!” She screamed again in my ear, not noticing my tears rolling down my cheek. I choked down a sob and that was what drew Bella’s attention. “Eliana!” Bella gasped as she saw my tear-stricken face. She used a tissue to wipe my eyes and I subconsciously thanked God for waterproof cosmetics, or else my eyes would have been stained with black streaks from my mascara. “Eliana, what’s wrong?” she said, looking at me. I played with the test in my hand, “What if I’m not good enough for my baby Bella?” I know I have said this before, but it was a genuine fear for me. But Bella
