All Chapters of Beyond Love : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I sat in my room, thinking on how I would get the money needed for David's treatment. The weight of responsibility and the heaviness of debt, I felt like fainting. "Should I talk to Mitchell about it?" I thought but I didn't want to lose being friends with her. "What if she feels I only want her because of her Money? No, I won't." But then, remembering David's condition pushed me into making the decision to talk to Mitchell."I will talk to her about it. I will do whatever it is she wants if she demands it." I made up my mind and I didn't consider any other option as Mitchell was like my only hope at that time. I sat up late, waiting for my Dad as it kept raining cats and dogs. I was really worried because he had no friends, or relatives he could go to that night. With his present state, I had no choice but to go into the rain to look for him. I picked up the little umbrella we had, David's fifth year birthday present from my Dad and dashed into the heavy rain.I had only walked

Even though the celebration was done, the night had just started. I couldn't escape the bad sensation that had settled on me as I made my way home through the streets that were weakly illuminated. I was determined to keep the recollection of Ethan's startling advances a secret because it was still fresh in my mind. I was conscious that exposing such a thing may have significant implications, especially from the ears of the other work colleague and my employer. I could hear rapid footsteps behind me just as I went down the road. My colorful and noisy bar friend Sarah was coming up to me as I turned around. Her eyes were sparkling with eagerness, and her cheeks were flushed."Hey Elah, why the rush? You didn't even wait for the after party." She said panting and smiling."You won't believe the night I had, Elah." Sarah replied with delight in her voice.I offered her a feeble grind as my own night had been an emotional rollercoaster. "Tell me everything about it."As Sarah grabbed

Night-time of digging, I found a name that continued to spring up in various distributions and reports: Ethan Stone, a tycoon perceived for his generous activities in the City. My heartbeat hustled as I looked into his contact subtleties, my finger waiting over the call button."Could this at any point be Ethan Stone at the bar a few evenings ago?"Pictures of him weren't shown on the various destinations where his name was referenced concerning the tremendous sum of money he gave, which left me in the dark.With a full breath, I called the number, and my heart hustled in my chest as I waited for somebody to pick."Hello," a voice on the other end said.I made a sound as if to speak, endeavoring to get comfortable with myself. "Hello, I am Elah. I... I would love to speak to Mr. Ethan Stone, please."There was a period of silence before the voice said, "I'm sorry, but Mr. Ethan is in a meeting and will not be available. Can I at any point get a message across to him?"My heart plunge

Ethan added, "I would rather not make this marriage too tough for you. You've agreed to marry me, and I've told you what you stand to gain. You'll have financial security, and your family won't ever from now on need to worry about their future."Ethan took in, and momentarily, there was a sprinkle of culpability in his eyes. "I understand that I acted outrageously during the party, and I'm sorry about that. Nonetheless, I have my justification for this marriage, and it's not just about me. You are the most helpful here."I looked up at him, confused by his weird comments. "Your explanation could be a little more clear."He looked at me and left. "Would you always walk away without answering my questions?" I yelled. "Afterall, I'd be your so-called wife in two days' time." It appeared to be that my words had no significant effect on him as he left with his secretary.I was staggered by his certification. I hadn't perceived that there was a connection between Ethan and David's treatment

He took a step closer, his fingers gently following the curve of my face. "This evening, I want to make you to feel loved Elah. Allow me have a good time with you."As he inclined in to kiss me, I really wanted to feel a feeling of weakness. It was my most memorable time being here, with basically a more odd man, and the fear gripped me.However, as his lips met mine, the room entryway opened up with an abruptness that shocked us both. We pulled off immediately, and my cheeks flushed with shame as a lady walked into the room.She was strikingly beautiful, with long, streaming hair and a quality of certainty that left me feeling inferior in her presence. She took a closer look at us with a knowing grin, her look moving from Ethan to me."Am I intruding on something?" she asked, her tone trickling with mockery.Ethan got it together rapidly, his demeanor turning somewhat stressed. "No, Isabella. This is Elah, my wife. What is it you want?"Isabella's eyebrows shot up in shock, as she di
