Benjamin walked along with Eliza to his mansion. The both of them, under the influence of alcohol, could not stop laughing. As Benjamin closed the huge doors behind him, he came up to Eliza and placed his hand around his waist. Eliza turned to him and stared at his handsome face with a smile. She gave out a smirk as the two looked closely into each other's eyes. The light above shined on them and put them on a spotlight. They leaned in closer to each other until they could feel each other’s warm breath. It was not long until both their lips touched each other's. A small kiss turned into a session of huge sloppy ones. Benjamin grabbed Eliza from her legs and placed her back in his arms. He stared into her eyes as he took her upstairs with him. She continued to giggle a bit in his arms. Benjamin opened the door to his bedroom wide open and placed Eliza on his bed. He stood tall in front of her while she was sitting upright on his bed. He lowered his head towards hers and shared anoth
Life is all about positivity and happiness. Not everybody can achieve big things and that's why the smaller things matter too. Eliza Harper had it all, from growing up in a wealthy family to building her name in the business industry, she was living her best life."I think I look pretty decent," Eliza smiled at her image that she had made suitable for the special day it was. She couldn't believe it's been a whole year that Noah had proposed to her.
Eliza stayed in the kitchen to have a word with Noah, giving them both some privacy to get dressed.She couldn't believe what she just saw. All these months, Eliza had done nothing but taken care of Noah, who had been relying on Eliza for his rent and to even pay the bills.
It was time! It was time for a meeting... a negotiation. Eliza was an ace at this! Making companies get wowed by her own company “HarperCorp”’scontracts was like a breeze for her. She was able to get the companies representative’s signatures on the paper with the snap of her finger. It was child’s play for her. Many people from the business world admired her such skills and destined to become just like her.She adjusted the cresses of her suit as she prepared herself to walk i
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.
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.With a click of a button, Noah’s number began to dial. Eliza and Benjamin were waiting patiently for him to pick up the call.
Benjamin was letting out moans as his length was squeezing and pushing its way into Eliza, causing him intense pleasure.Eliza’s body was throbbing as Benjamin kept increasing the speed of his thrusts. His torso kept hitting her raised thighs.Benjamin leaned towards her face and gave her another wet kiss. She wrapped her hands around his waist but the constant movement kept breaking it. She fin
Eliza was in shock as her eyes were met with the same guy who she let into her body. The same guy that rocked the bed that they were in. As she stared into his dark brown eyes, her mind was filled with his moves on her. The meditation she put herself through to clear her mind was all put to waste as Benjamin’s face took over her.She wanted to run to him and into his arms. She wanted to feel his touch once again and stay close to him.
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
