Chapter 4: Alcohol Must Be Fun

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

As she was on her way home, she made the driver stop at the side of the road. The driver was confused why she made him do that as they were not even close to her house. They were not even halfway there. 

“Ma’am, what happened?” the driver asked her in concern and worry. His face was radiating his confusion about Eliza’s order to stop. He saw her depressed face and got even more concerned. 

“Ma’am, are you ok? Do you need me to get you something?” he politely offered to help her. 

Even though the driver was speaking to her, like before Eliza was not able to give him a proper response. “Wait here for some time. I have to go take care of something,” she instructed as she unlocked her door and stepped out of the car. The driver complied and drove the car away to a better parking spot but not too far away from Eliza. It was his duty to stay near her as far as possible. 

Without looking back, Eliza went forward and entered the local bar. The dimly lit place caught her by surprise. She stuck out like a sore thumb as her face bared a confused look at the place. This was her first-time entering a bar so everything in sight was new to her. She generally preferred to stay away from bars and clubs and stay at the office working hard.

It was a shock to Eliza as well to see herself walk into such a place, but the breakup messed her mind up to do things that she never thought she would do. With a firm grip on her handbag, she walked up to the bar counter and sat on the high raised, bar stool.

She felt weird and kept looking at every corner of the place. There were people having a chat, while some were laughing drunk. There were even some people making out which made Eliza remember her first kiss with Noah. She got frustrated by even remembering his face. 

“Can I get you anything, ma’am?” the bartender came up to her and asked while wiping a few clear glasses. 

Eliza was confused about what to order. She was not a drinker. She never tasted alcohol in her life. While attending parties or gatherings, when offered a drink she would often refuse and consumed sparkling water instead. So, the question felt like a pop quiz test for her. 

She raised her head and began looking at the bottles displayed on the rack. “One beer please” she ordered as she came across a beer bottle. She wanted to play it safe as it was her first time entering the zone of alcohol. 

The bartender took a tall beer glass out of the drying rack and popped open one beer bottle. As he began to fill it up, Eliza saw the yellow liquid pouring in with white foam on the top.

“Enjoy!” the bartender said before going back to cleaning up the glasses.

Eliza gulped as she saw the beer right in front of her. She picked up the glass from the top and took a whiff of the liquid. The smell made her want to puke! She did not want to drink such a thing but when images of Noah and Taylor in bed flashed before her eyes, she grabbed the glass in anger and chugged the whole thing in her mouth. Anger took over her and she could not put the glass down. 

After finishing every single drop from the glass, she placed it on the counter with a light thud, wiping the excess foam off of her face. She thought she would feel high and the troubles would go away automatically but nothing of the sort happened. She was still in her miserable state. 

“You will need a lot stronger drink than that.” Eliza heard a deep husky voice say from behind her. 

With her teary eyes, she took a look at her back to find a tall, handsome young man standing in a business suit. He had dark brown hair, raised in the form of spikes. His smile gave a cute look to his face while his dark brown eyes bought a charm to it. His jawline was sharp and had a well-built body. 

He went ahead and sat in the chair next to Eliza. Immediately as he did so, Eliza’s nostrils were filled with his manly perfume. “My name’s Benjamin... Benjamin Clayton” he introduced himself while extending his hand for a handshake. 

Eliza took the initiative to not be rude to him as she was with Mr. Garcia and shook his hand. His warm touch covered the coldness of her hands. “Eliza... Eliza Harper” she introduced herself as well with a low voice.

“So, Eliza... if you want to drink something to get your mind out of this world and worries, you will need something stronger than just plain beer. "he explained to her with a wink. 

Eliza gave out a subtle smile and became interested in what Benjamin was saying, even though Noah was still floating around her mind. She was desperate to talk to someone nice. 

“Two shots of vodka, please,” Benjamin ordered while shooting a smile at Eliza.

Eliza gathered some strength and spoke in a timid voice, “How did you know that I was sad and worried?” 

Benjamin smirked with his charm filling the air. He turned himself to Eliza. “Eliza, if anyone walks in and sees your face, they would immediately come to know that you are sad and hurt. Your face says it all.”

At that moment, the bartender appeared with two shot glasses filled with vodka. Eliza looked nervous as she could smell the strength of its alcoholic content. 

“First time, right?” Benjamin asked as he grabbed both the glasses in his hands. He offered one of the glasses to Eliza.

Eliza nodded profusely for a second before accepting the glass from Benjamin. Since the glass was closer to her nostrils, she coughed a bit from the strong smell. 

“Hey, look at me,” he said as he drank the shot and swallowed the vodka down his throat. “It’s easy.” he continued his sentence.

Eliza saw how Benjamin effortlessly drank the vodka. She stared at her reflection on the glass and contracted her brows. The smell was bothering her a lot. Despite that, she wanted to take it in. She wanted to escape hell even if it was just for a moment. She covered her nose by pinching it with her fingers and with her other hand, poured the glass into her mouth.

As she swallowed the vodka, she started to cough a bit as it was burning her throat. But after that was over, she felt a bit better. She looked up and stared at Benjamin who too was staring at her with a smile. 

“I’ll order some more,” he smirked and told the bartender to bring a few more shots.

There was some silence for a bit but Eliza finally decided to break it and speak up, “Have you ever met someone with who you spent so much time with and then one day realize that all that time was a lie?” 

The bartender came in with a number of vodka shots. Benjamin started to arrange them while answering Eliza’s question, “Umm... why yes I have. My ex-wife. She fits your description perfectly”

“What about you?” he asked her. 

“My boy- I mean ex-boyfriend ‘Noah’, the biggest jerk of all time.” Eliza put angered emphasis on ‘jerk’ while describing him to Benjamin. 

‘Tell me about it.” 

The both of them picked up a glass and drank up before reacting to the pungent taste of the vodka. 

“Noah, the person who I spent so much of time with... I freaking caught him in bed with his ex on our anniversary.” Eliza vented out her anger as Benjamin listened.

Eliza felt like she was in a safe spot to vent out her feelings. I between each shot, she kept talking about her relationship with Noah and her complaints about him. She went back into time and explained everything including about Taylor. The more they both drank, the drunker they became.

“What a jerk!” Benjamin commented about Noah after knowing the full story. Eliza and Benjamin started to laugh, under the influence of the many glasses of vodka they drank.

“Oh, he is the biggest jerk of all time. I want to teach him a lesson. I feel stupid for holding back.” Eliza picked up the last glass and swallowed it like a pro.

“Let’s do one thing the. Let’s call him. Teach him whatever lesson you want then.” Benjamin suggested as he hiccupped from being super drunk. Even though Benjamin just met Eliza, he got along well with her and was ready to help her out.

Eliza looked at Benjamin in silence before bursting out in laughter. “Let’s do it” she said before pulling out her phone from her purse. They were ready to call Noah and give a piece of their mind.

    Long after his exhausting night, it was finally the next morning. Benjamin woke up at the command of his usual early alarm. He was punctual and did not require to hit the snooze button even once. He dressed up in his normal business attire— a blue suit, before walking downstairs towards Bailey’s room. It was his morning routine to go ahead and wake his little daughter up and prepare her for school. However this time, his eye caught a glance of Eliza and Eleanor’s room that was located adjacent to Bailey’s. He contemplated whether to greet Eleanor a good morning first but he somehow felt that he should go ahead with Bailey. After all, he did recall how stressful last evening was. Bailey’s doors were opened, allowing Benjamin to witness his daughter surprisingly out of bed before his arrival. He was amazed by what he saw… so much so that his face tightened as his mouth stretched with a gasp. “Bailey? Is that you?” He asked, still maintaining his previous look. Bailey, who was

    “Would you mind explaining yourself, Benjamin?” “Why was that woman in this house?” Eliza spat out critical questions in front of Benjamin who showed his back to her. The two were in contrasting states with Eliza being extremely furious and demanding while Benjamin was calm and cool. “Answer me, Benjamin.” She walked right up to him and placed her right hand on his shoulder in order to gain his attention. Without any warning, once Eliza’s hand touched his shoulder, Benjamin vice gripped her arm and held it behind her back. “Ahhh!” Eliza moaned in pain as his strength was unmatched in comparison to her tiny frame. “Don’t you dare touch me.” Benjamin rebuked her actions with a stern touch in his voice. Eliza knew he wasn’t playing around. He was at the brink of ripping her arm off. “Then tell me under what reason did you allow Shannon here? Why is that demon so close to my children?” Eliza cried out. “The same reason why I’m allowing you to be so close to MY children.” Upon he

    Shannon stood rigidly at the entrance of the grand dining room, her gloved hand clutching a bundle of shopping bags, while the other removed her tinted sunglasses to allow the bright light of the room to penetrate her eyes. As her vision cleared, Shannon's heart plummeted with shock as her gaze fell upon none other than Eliza. The tell-tale sign of her surprise was visible through the sudden constriction of her pupils. Her hands, weakened by the shock, could not bear the weight of the bags, and they tumbled to the ground with a loud thud. Meanwhile, her red lips parted in disbelief. "Eliza?" Shannon muttered, feeling lost and unsure of how to react. In the presence of everyone seated at the grand table, Shannon struggled to regain her composure. Everything felt so unreal initially until realisation hit her. A surge of anger coursed through her body as she recalled the years of hard work she had put into getting rid of Eliza for good. Shannon could hardly fathom how her nemesis ha

    Eliza did not waste a second before scooping Eleanor in her arms, not breaking her eye contact with Benjamin. She was furious internally by his behaviour that he was displaying in front of an innocent child. “My baby, are you okay?” she asked, breathing heavily while inspecting Eleanor in case Benjamin was rough with her. She knew that whenever anger took over the man, his senses completely collapsed. He wouldn’t be able to distinguish right from wrong and harm the ones he’s supposed to protect. Thankfully, Eleanor was in perfect condition but it was obvious that she was mentally disturbed by the clash between her parents. Once Eliza and Eleanor entered Benjamin’s mansion, memories began to flood Eliza’s mind without any warning. She remembered all the moments she used to spend with Benjamin in each and every single corner of the place. The moment they wanted to commit their lives to each other. A tear trickled down the corner of her eye but she instantly wiped it clean. She d

    “Please Benjaminn…. Please give me my daughter back.” Eliza was practically on her knees begging for the safe return of Eleanor. As time passed with Eleanor not by her side, Eliza felt an empty hole in her heart. She didn’t want to fail the only daughter she had left. Getting her back was the only way to mend her broken heart. “You don’t have to beg this prick for anything, Eliza.” “If he won’t co-operate and give our Eleanor back, I’ll make sure his life will be a living hell.” Tom targeted his blood shot eyes at Benjamin with his fists tightening with every passing second. If it weren’t for the security guards, Tom’s anger would have led him into a fist brawl with his daughter’s ex-lover. The atmosphere was silent with tension looming over it. While Eliza and Tom were restless, Benjamin had a cold expression plastered on his face. Amidst the guards, Benjamin began to advance his way towards the father-daughter duo on the other side of the gate. “Sir, what are you doing? Plea

He gently caressed her while bearing a stressed out and confused expression. “Who took who? Eliza? Where is Eleanor?” Tom fretted several questions at her. “B-Benjamin… he took m

    Chapter 56“Please stop this Benjamin. I don’t have any energy left to argue with you. Let’s just go our separate ways and pretend we never saw each other.” Eliza said with a defeated sigh. It took everything in her to not break down in tears in front of her ex and children. She did not want to cause a scene in front of any of them. Moreover, she was feeling very emotional after taking a look at Bailey. She recalled giving her up unwillingly to Sharon that day at the hospital. If only…. If only she was not so helpless, she could have had Bailey to herself instead of letting her grow up with a man like Benjamin Clayton. She always wanted to be a role model to her children to grow up to be fearless, independent women but looking at her now, she felt like she failed to do so. “Come on, Eleanor, let’s leave.” Eliza grabbed ahold of Eleanor’s hand and proceeded to leave everything she encountered here behind. Eliza knew she couldn’t let all those years of healing herself be shattered

    Eliza couldn’t believe what she was seeing in front of her. The Benjamin Clayton was standing tall in front of her. “Be-benjamin?” she muttered under her breath. Never in these years, she expected to say that name again. Never did she expect to see that charming face once again. He looked the same, except a bit more mature. Eliza was in awe to be so close to him once again. Memories of the cruel treatment that he subjected her to instantly began to play in her mind. The colour on her skin flushed out with the intense anxiety she began to feel, reliving all those painful memories. A lonesome tear began to trickle down her cheek and onto Eleanor’s head. Eleanor was nervous, wondering what was going on in her mother’s mind. Bailey noticed that Benjamin wasn’t even looking at Eliza. He was fixed on Eleanor as if he was seeing a miracle in front of his very eyes. Eliza’s grip on Eleanor’s tiny arm grew tight with fear and sadness taking over her appearance.Her heart began to race r

    “You mean you want to bring your mom and my dad together?” “Yes!” Eleanor answered Bailey’s question with an eager face. She was nervous and anxious at the same time as she knew she was very close to finding out who her real dad was. Though it had been long with his absence in her life, it was better late than never. Bailey took in a short burst of air and let out a sigh. She played with her air as she was lost in her thoughts with Eleanor patiently waiting for some sort of reaction from her side. “But don’t you think they’d get upset if we did this? I mean… they must’ve separated for a reason.” Bailey broke her train of thought and let out a crucial question. She knew very well how angry her dad could get. “You’re right… but… this is the only way to get the truth out of them.” Eleanor stuttered in a low voice. Though she was concerned as well, she couldn’t think of any other way. It was either them uniting their parents or all of them acting like total strangers for the rest o
