CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE.ELOISE’S POV.Jasmine’s threat lives rent free in my head for the entire day. A single second has not ticked by without her words replaying in my mind and even though I don’t want to admit it, I’m a bit shaken. She said something about me always getting in the way of her plans. What bloody plans is she always cooking up and for what reason. I know her main objective is to kick me out of Klein’s life and take my place in his life, but her tone and the look in her eyes when she dished out that threat spoke volumes about the horrors she’s prepared to cast in my way.I need to watch out for her.“Mrs. Wesley.” Shannelle’s familiar voice pulls me out of my drowning thoughts and when I look up at her, I notice she’s carrying her handbag, ready to leave. It’s closing time.“Yeah.”“Nadine and I are leaving.”“Oh…” I exclaim softly as I look over at Nadine who’s also set to leave. She flashes me a small smile and waves me goodbye and I do the same before looking back at Sh

ELOISE’S POV.The sound of the smack reverberates like a gunshot throughout the living room, sending shockwaves down my spine that almost render me crippled. My head stays in the bent position and when I struggle to open my eyes again, all I see is shiny little stars twinkling in the darkness before me. It takes a few bats of my eyelids before my vision starts clearing up again.“Mother!” Klein thunders as places a protective hand over my shoulder and gently pushes me to stand behind him. “What the hell did you just do?” He sounds very angry, but his mother doesn’t even flinch. My hand is carefully massaging the stinging spot she just assaulted and I’m actually surprised by the fact that I haven’t burst into tears yet and I’m not even feeling as to do that. I am angry and if looks could kill, my mother-in-law would be six feet right now.“I just smacked some sense into her. I hope it settles in that thick head of hers and that she learns to use it from now on.” She fires and I suck in

ELOISE’S POV.“Welcome home, Mrs. Wesley.” The butler greets me as I step into the living room and hand her my stuff to take upstairs. “Thank you.” I say and she leaves. As I walk further into the room, my phone starts ringing and a smile forms on my face when I check the caller ID and see that it’s Maeve calling. I instantly answer the call and press the phone against my ear. “Yes Ma’am.”“Ah yeah! Her voice sounds like honey now because she’s about to go on a vacation with her husband.” Maeve taunts and I burst into laughter as I resume my walk towards the staircase.“Is that jealousy I sense in your tone?” I ask playfully and she scoffs.“Jealousy my ass. There’s no way I would be jealous of a married woman. Do you have any idea how much freedom I have as a single woman? Plus, I don’t have an old witch called a mother-in-law breathing fire down my neck every time she sets her eyes on me.” She fires back and my laughter intensifies. She’s right.If there’s anyone who should be jea

ELOISE’S POV.“No way!” I exclaim in disbelief the moment the car is opened and I take a peek of the premises. Excitement is coursing through my veins like a raging river as I step out of the car and ogle the surroundings. It’s dark, but I know exactly where we are.Unbelievable!This is unbelievable!When Klein refused to disclose our vacation destination and called it a surprise every time I asked, I had no idea it would be this. I knew he was going to take me to some exotic sight-seeing facility somewhere out of the country. I did not expect this man to bring me to my favorite recreational spot here in the country. My father used to bring me all the time since I was little and even before I married Klein, this was my to-go spot when I needed some time away from the world and its harsh realities.“Do you like it?” Klein asks, stopping beside me.“Like it? I love it! How… How did you know about this place? The smile on your face tells me you were expecting me to react this way. How d

ELOISE’S POV.“Is this where we’ll be eating?” I ask Klein as we both head over to the sitting area of the living room where dinner has been set on the center table.“Eating on the dinning table feels too formal. I want us to have a casual, fun dinner, that’s why I asked the staff to set our meals here.” He calmly explains and my smiles grows wider.Indeed, eating on the dinning feels too formal. It’s like eating at a dinner party with all his business associates and I only ever play with my food during those dinners. I’m happy he did this instead.“I hope you like it.” Concern flashes in his eyes as he eagerly inquires and my heart melts completely. He’s so considerate, it makes me want to hug and kiss him right now.“It’s perfect. I love the idea of a fun and casual dinner.” I say with a smile that nearly splits my face into to halves.“Cool.” He says, taking a seat on a couch while I go over to the one opposite his and sit on it. When my gaze meets his again, the frown on his face
