As Eliza and Benjamin were left alone in the room, the two could not keep away from each other. They walked up close to each other, feeling as excited as they could.
“So… you are the CEO of Minwall, huh?” Eliza asked as she caught hold of his tie, twirling it around her finger.
“And you work
Shannon knew what she had to do to make sure that the little leech named Eliza leaves her ex-husband alone. There was no way she was going to let this girl get what belonged to her.With the help of some background checks, Shannon was able to snoop into Eliza's past."Hmm," she smacked her lips, her eyes glued to her phone as she read the information that had been sent to her phone, "From someone like Noah to Ben
It was late at night. The night’s darkness took over the light of the sky as the sun settled. The numerous city lights came live to light up the city and bring life back into it.Amidst the illuminated street, Benjamin stepped his foot out of his luxurious vehicle after his driver helped open the door. As his entire body got out of the still car, he turned to the driver who was dressed in a white suit with a black-tie fix to his collar. His hands were covered with white gloves while his legs rested in a pair of sleek white formal shoes.
The dining room was lit dimly with a string of lights hanging across the room. A gigantic chandelier at the center of the ceiling was set to its lowest brightness.It was a beautiful sight to see as the atmosphere also provided a cozy feeling. Benjamin took a step forward as his eye caught a hold of the dining table. He noticed something different in it.From the regular boring setup, the table was transformed into something special. Rows of mini candles with mini flames were seen burning as gently as they could. An abundance of rose petals were found scattered all over the table and floor giving out the signature romantic vibe to the area.Two plates seated on the table, each carrying a beautifully cooked piece of steak on it.The corner of Benjamin’s lip lifted as he saw the pretty arrangements done by Eliza. It was a first that someone did something of this caliber for him.
Shannon squashed the fruit with her heels in rage built up for Eliza. Her eyes were beaming with rage while her face was filled with disgust. She never felt the way she did for Eliza. The level of hatred that she had for her was intense. There was no stopping her.She had no time to waste. She quickly approached the table where her phone was laid dominant. With the force of her fingers, she pressed a few numbers on the keypad to dial someone. As she was waiting for the person on the other line to pick up, she recalled the time when she walked in on Eliza having sex with her ex-husband. Even the thought of her hands on him, made her infuriated. It was too much for her to even process.Her foot started to tap on the floor as time passed and her calls left unanswered. “Aaah! she screeched as her call got cut the tenth time. She raised her hand to fling her phone across the room in anger as she took in deep breaths.Be
The sun finally rose and shooed the night sky away. Benjamin and Eliza were snuggled up in bed with Eliza in his arms. The night had been super special and enjoyable for the two.As the harsh brightness from the outside fell on Eliza, she woke up instantly with her arms stretching wide. It was at the same time, Benjamin broke his sleep. Seeing Eliza sitting up on the bed, he gripped her by her arm and pulled her towards him.Her delicate hands fell on his wide, muscular chest. He could not stop admiring her beauty as he was playing with her dark chestnut hair. “Morning!” He greeted her as she rested her arms on his chest.“Good morning!” She greeted with her sweet voice, staring into his dark brown eyes. The two were madly in love with each that every moment they spent was cherished in their hearts.After a few minutes, Eliza got on her feet and made her way into the bathroom
Eliza had fainted onto the floor. She laid still with no movement from her body.“Eliza, have you finished reviewing those…” her dad walked in and became speechless as he saw his daughter lying faint on the floor.He could not believe his eyes to see his own flesh and blood, in such a state. Panic stood drove him to scream for help.“Help! Eliza… wake up!” He kept yelling numerous times as he fell on his knees near her.
“The test revealed that you are in fact, pregnant!”The doctor revealed this shocking news in a serious voice.At first, Benjamin, Tom and Eliza herself could not believe the doctor’s words. It was truly unexpected to hear Eliza had a baby in her womb.It was too much of a surprise than a shock to them.Benjamin’s grip on Eliza’s hand tightened even more. His eyes fell on Eliza who was dumbstruck on this situation. She was trying to process what was told to her.
“Tomorrow is the day…” Shannon replied with a sinister sounding voice which did not register in Noah’s mind immediately.“Tomorrow is what?” Noah asked in a sleepy voice, completely opposite to Shannon’s!“The plan! Tomorrow is the day to implement my plan, you idiot.” Shannon face palmed herself at Noah’s ignorance towards the situation.Her loud voice bought a wave of realisation in Noah which made him remember what she was talking about it.His eyes popped as he got up from the couch with his oiled up body. Taylor stood by him, trying to chime herself into the conversation as mute listener.“Make sure you prep everything well. There should be no mistake, got it? This is our only chance to get rid of that brat, Eliza.” Shannon said with immense hatred in her voice. One could
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
Eliza was devastated seeing Benjamin run off with her daughter. She failed to protect Eleanor after all these years, making her hit herself in the gut. Her face depicted the combination of anger, frustration and sadness that she was feeling internally.Dozens of people passed by her but did nothing to help. They spectated her as if she was putting on some act which made her heart ache even more. ——— “Eliza? Oh my god, what happened to you?” Tom was horrified to find his daughter’s face disfigured with sadness. The tears rolling down her eyes dragged her black mascara with them, staining the rest of her face. Her appearance was night and day compared to what it was when she left the house to spend a day with Eleanor at the mall. “Dad… he… he took her!” Eliza sobbed, her face falling in her dad’s arms. 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
