After breakfast, Penny went out to see a friend while Eleanor returned to her room. She thought she would go through some emails Jonathan had sent some days back before she leaves for the Anderson family villa.

It was an hour to noon when Cassie walked into her room to remind her of her date with some guy.

Cassie had pressured her some weeks back to give the guy a chance. Eleanor didn't even have an idea who the guy was, so, it was more of a blind lunch date.

Eleanor frowned and whined as she closed her laptop. She swirled her chair to face Cassie who was rummaging through her closet, looking for 'God knows what'.

Cassie hissed.

"You promised, El! A promise!" Cassie reminded.

Eleanor bit her lips as realization hit her. She had made a promise and she wasn't going to break it. It was definitely not her style: breaking promises.

"Not like I'm gonna have to listen to anything he says, so..." She muttered under her breath but she knew that Cassie had heard her loud and clear.

    When Eleanor arrived at the cozy coffee shop, she stood at the entrance. Her eyes scanned the entire time for her 'date'. She had no idea who or what he was. Cassie had only told her he wore glasses and had brown hair.Heaven knows how many guys with brown hair with glasses in New York City.As she looked, she finally noticed a man waving to her from his seat in a corner.Eleanor quickly assessed him.Brown hair, check.Glasses, check.Clutching her purse tightly, she walked to where he sat.She could turn around and leave, but that would be a waste of time.

  • The Billionaire's Instant Family   Time Of The Month

    When Eleanor woke up, the kids were no longer in the room with her. She was least bit worried since Becca and Bella were infatuated with twins like them.Eleanor took a quick glance around the room as she folded into a sitting position. The room was not as big as her bedroom at home but it was warm and cozy. The royal blue and white colour tone of the room did not come off as a surprise to her as she knew about her mother's obsession to those colours. Guess it was in the genes after all; she and Tasha had that obsession.After taking a hot water shower, she put on her favorite leather pants and decided to tour the closet since she hadn't seen it.Eleanor noticed a small door at a corner of the room. It was hardly noticeable as it had been painted to blend so perfectly with the royal blue wall surrounding its area. She thought for a while what lies behind the door. After a minute, she decided to push it open and was surprised to find it unlocked.'Hmm' she thought and took a few steps

    The sun was already settling down for its sleep when Damien finally woke up from his long sleep. There was this throbbing pain at the back of his neck that made him scrunch up his nose and almost shriek. He knew it to be due to the many bottles of hard liquor he took the previous night.Speaking of which...His eyes looked frantically around the room and were surprised to find himself in his room. How the hell did he get here? Wasn't he at the bar last night? Or did... It finally dawned on him:Eddy... Damien recalled seeing Eddy's face before blacking out. It must have been Eddy's work, bringing him home. Damien shoved his hand into his hair and shut his eyes tight. A deep sigh left his lips and he thought of how much Eddy had been doing for him. The guy was just too good, he did beyond his job description.Letting it all wash away with another elongated sigh, he pulled the sheets from his body and got off the bed. His legs led him to the bathroom.As the warm water cascaded down

    "Eleanor, where are my Godchildren?" Jonathan asked sternly. His eyes were glaring holes in Cassie's body, but, Cassie was doing same to him too.At that moment, there was a sudden flurry of activities at the door.A young woman's voice was heard muttering to whomever was listening, "Who is that handsome man?"Suddenly, the crowd turned their eyes to the hotel entrance. The group at the side realized that someone very prominent must have arrived and they craned their necks to catch a glimpse.Becca elbowed her twin sister and asked, "Bella, why did the hall go quiet?

    "Daddy?" She called out softly. Her eyes turned red once more and she asked, "Are you my daddy?"'Daddy?' Damien was puzzled.Was the child looking for her father? Did he look like her daddy? Who was her father?Although he had no idea whose daughter she was, he desperately wanted to say 'yes' to her question.Damien bent over and tousled her hair. With a small smile , he said, "Are you looking for daddy?"Tasha nodded and began to cry harder. Her small body shook as she sobbed. She reached for Damien's face with her chubby little hands. "Daddy... You're... Daddy?"Damien was at a loss for words.He didn't know what to say to the child so he stretched out his hand and wiped her tears. "Don't cry, beautiful baby. Shhh.""Daddy..." Tasha wailed harder, large droplets of tears rolling down her eyes and it made Damien feel helpless and almost at the verge of tears.Tasha couldn't stop crying, she finally had a father.

    Okay, Eleanor thought, that was not expected.How dad looks, usual question. All about him, nope, new one.Eleanor thought for a while. As she closed her eyes, she let the events of that night flood her mind. As the memories played like tapes in her eyes, she stroked his hair."You know," she began, having Nathan's undivided attention, "he had black hair just like yours.""Like mine?" Nathan asked with eyes that twinkled. It was delightful to hear his father had black hair just like his.Eleanor nodded and continued. "You are just like him, only, you're a boy and he's a man. I saw him smile once.""How was it?""It was simply captivating, like Tasha's. He was tall and strong. Like a macho man." She chuckled.Nathan was quiet as he stared at the black polka dots on the blue duvet for a long time before finally looking up. His lips moved but no words came out. His thoughts were a jumbled mess and he wondered if he should tell her what he saw. After a long while, he decided against it.

    Eleanor's eyes widened at Damien's suggestion. Disbelief flickered across her face. "Remarried? No, that can't be. Mirabella never mentioned anything about remarrying, and we have no reason to think so."Damien leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms in contemplation. "Well, it's unusual for someone to go by different names within the same family. Could there be something we're missing?"Eleanor shook her head. "Sienna is in her twenties, while Eliora would be the same age as myself since she is my twin."Damien agreed. "Does that mean Sienna is a relative of yours, then?" he inquired thoughtfully.Eleanor shrugged. "That's the only logical explanation for the moment," she rasped out. "Besides, judging by the story Mirabella told us, the man must have loved my mother too much to remarry," she added with a sigh."Or, she is adopted," Eddy, who had been quiet, suddenly chimed in, causing the duo to turn to him."What do you mean?" asked Eleanor, confusedly.Eddy crossed his arms ove

    Eddy, still trembling, pulled out the letter and extended it toward Antonio, who took it with a cursory gaze directed at Eddy."Yes, Mr. Huxton," Eddy stammered. "I have a letter for you. It's important, and I was instructed to deliver it personally."Antonio's gaze traveled between the letter and Eddy. Something about Eddy did not sit right with him. Antonio thought that he had met Eddy before but he could not remember where."Who sent you?" He asked, slowly tearing open the letter."Z-zara Anderson-Red, sir," Eddy answered.Antonio's head whipped up to Eddy's face quickly. There was shock clearly etched on it as his eyes widened."The Andersons?" He muttered disbelievingly and Eddy nodded. Antonio quickly pointed to the couch. "Please, sit."Eddy nodded and sat, although he still did not feel comfortable.To Sienna, Antonio said, "Go, get our guest something to drink! Hurry!"Sienna stood up and left.

Her eyes were clear and focused on him. Eddy was so lost in her beauty that he did not see her stop in front of him."Hey, mister! Here!" She snapped her fingers before Eddy, jolting him to reality.

It was large, about the same size of her bedroom back home.As she was about to sit and dig into the breakfast in the tray, a knock interrupted her."Door's open," She called, watching to see who would come in.Damien walked in. He had already bathed and was dressed in a pair of blue sweatpants, and yet, another thousand dollars Nike shoes."Did not think you would be up already," He said, pointing at her. "And I see you are already dressed up."Eleanor nodded."Hmmm. Good morning," She greeted and turned to her tray of food. "Care to join me for breakfast?"

"I can break through that firewall, gather the information we need, and I'll also make sure to log out before the system can trace me."Toni's doubt did not fade away, but she let Eleanor take the seat, then she stood behind her."Let's see what we got here..."

Her mind was filled with thoughts as she observed the people around her. While many smiled and exchanged greetings, she could see glimpses of hidden struggles and doubts behind those cheerful facades. It saddened her to realize that there was often more beneath the surface than met the eye."We can finally move out of the hotel," Damien noted, pulling Eleanor's attention back to him as the driver kept driving. His voice was filled with a sense of relief. Curiosity sparked in Eleanor's eyes as she could not help but wonder.
