Blood pooled beneath Eloise's head just moments after she discovered the truth about her husband. The man she built her world around wanted nothing more than to destroy her. He stole everything, her company, her pride, her future, and left her to die. But as the darkness closed in on her, fate offered a second chance. ** Now she is back, with bloodstained memories and a thirst for revenge. Desperate and broken, she made a deal with the devil, a man powerful enough to hand her the weapons. But his help comes at a price. To be owned by him. For four months. A strict deal with no strings or feelings attached. But nothing about him is simple. He's infuriating, intoxicating, and every second with him chips away at her control. What starts as business quickly spirals into a dangerous game of possession, secrets, and desire. And when hearts get involved, the real cost becomes something more than she bargained for. He’s the last man she should trust… and the only one who makes her lose control.
View MoreEloise’s breath trembled as the room spun violently, her head throbbed as if drums were pounding behind her eyes. Her limbs felt like wet sand, heavy and useless. She could move, but barely, as if her strength had been siphoned out of her body. She tried to wriggle out of his arms when Luther scooped her off the floor and placed her on the couch. He chuckled at her attempt, finding her adorable as she looked like a baby trying to move. “ Don't fight it, darling, the drug is powerful, the more you fight it, the more paralyzed you'd feel.” Eloise opened her mouth to scream, but all that came out was a weak, broken sound like a whimper, muffled by the wind. She felt her back land on the couch and she immediately moved, wanting to get away desperately. The moment she saw that he didn't take a sip of his water, she knew right then that he'd drugged her. She pushed herself as hard as she could, not minding if she'd fall back on the floor, as long as she'd get away from him. Luth
“ What's going on? Is Eloise going to be okay?” Laera asked Oliver who stood by her side, his fingers dialing contacts, his face tightened with seriousness. He stepped a little further away to receive another call. The moment Antonio rushed out of the company at the mention of Luther’s name, panic set in. And the fact that no one was saying anything only deepened her fear. After several calls with someone she doesn't know, Oliver finally turned to her, stepping closer with his eyes fixed on her. He stopped just in front of her and exhaled, seeing her face contorted with fear and worries shows how close she was with Eloise. Seems they are best of friends. “ Calm down Laera, Eloise would be fine, Antonio would be there anytime soon,” “ Why don't we head there also, what if..what would happen to Eloise…if…if Antonio didn't get there on time?” Oliver's face dropped. She saw him swallow and his eyes darting. Laera's palm got more sweaty and her heart skipped so hard. “ Say someth
Eloise checked the address of the files one more time before looking at the company's, confirming she was at the right place before stepping inside the building. With her heels clinking against the tiled floor, she approached the receptionist with the files clutched to her side. “ Hi,” Eloise greeted as soon as she got to her desk, “ Hi Miss…?” “ Eloise Stewart, I'm here to…,” “ Was expecting you, Miss Eloise,” the bobbed hair receptionist quickly said, with a smile that looked so harmless and polite, “ take,” she gave her a pass. Eloise slowly reached out, furrowing her brow as she collected it from her. “ Please head to the last floor, he's waiting for you there,” she said, still wearing her smile. Hesitating not to ask a question, Eloise nodded and muttered a ‘ thank you ‘ before heading for the elevator. ‘ Who exactly am I meeting?’ She asked in her mind as she stood alone in the elevator, she took another look at the files. Mary hadn't told her who she was meeting and wh
“ What?! ,” Laera exclaimed in shock as her widened eyes fixed on Eloise like she had just spouted something so impossible. “ Are you serious?” Laera sought confirmation, with her eyes still widened. “ Hm mm.”Eloise nodded. Laera gasped, covering her mouth with her palm. Her eyes clouded with disbelief, shock, happiness, and a wave of guilt that hit all at once. “ Are you okay?” she asked, sounding more worried as she genuinely cared for her, even though a huge part of her was glad about Eloise's decision. “ I'm perfectly fine,” Eoise replied with a tiny smile plastered on her face. “ Can't believe you’d ever want to divorce him,” Laera said, the joy in her finally creeping onto her face. Even though this was the shortest period of marriage she's ever heard. Eloise and Mason had only been married for a month, but he had already cheated on her. ‘ That sleazebag,’ Laera cussed under her breath. “ Honestly babes, I'm totally in support of whatever you do, as long as it makes yo
The dimly lit room reeked of alcohol, cluttered with dirty clothes and discarded snack wrappers. The table at the center of the room was filled with empty bottles of alcohol, empty cartons of pizza, numerous cards, phones, and multiple pictures of a woman. Jeremy sat on the sofa, silence engulfing the room except for the swirling sound of his ceiling fan. On the wall behind him was a framed picture of a woman, the same woman whose pictures lay on the table, all candid shots of her laughing, frowning, biting her nail while looking out of a café window. None of which was taken with her knowledge. His fingers glide across the screen of his phone, typing again with another contact. ‘ I went to your apartment and was told you no longer live there. Did you change your apartment because of me? Did you think I'd never find you?’ He paused, gritting his teeth without sending the message. He remembered going to Penafort's corporation to ask her after he had learnt she no longer lived in he
“ I'll make your ex-husband regret you ever existed.”Eloise felt a cold rush run through her spine, the hair on her skin stood, and her heart raced. When he said that, how he said it, how dark and dangerous the tone is, the promise laced in it, all made her shiver.Antonio had said many things to her, some that never got to her, some she knew so well they were just to rile her up, get on her nerves, tease her, just anything to make her glare at him. Like when he told her he isn't ready to lift her skirt, she knew he said that because of who was present even though it pissed her off. When he once told Mrs Jones that she was his girl, and the nickname ‘ Sweetheart ‘ which he calls her each time he wants to tease her or he's being sarcastic.None of these did she ever take seriously; they were only pure tease from an infuriating man who wants nothing but to always get under her skin.But this…doesn't sound like he was teasing, or he wanted to get on her nerves again.Her eyes stared int
