MasukEleanor POV"It is fine. I will come with you.""No!!!!"The word slipped out of my mouth fast. He narrowed his eyes at me."And why not?"I laughed again and quickly explained, my voice tight with nerves."I mean, I want to go alone. I do not want to bother you with something so trivial.""I will wait here then."What the hell is wrong with this man?Why is he clinging to me like that? Since when has he been like this?I let out a tired breath and looked at him seriously."No, Mr. Julian. I am going to walk a bit, then I will leave. Do not worry about me. You can go."I caught the hint of a smirk forming on his lips. I looked at him in confusion before he spoke."Alright then. As you wish."I sighed in relief and smiled a little. He finally agreed.We arrived where I told him to stop. He parked the car, then looked at me deeply as he said,"Enjoy your shopping, my wife."I smiled awkwardly and thanked him. I pulled the seatbelt off my chest and stepped out of the car. I opened the ba
Eleanor POVI tore the dress off in frustration and let it fall to the floor. I stared at it, almost sad. I really liked it.What the hell was wrong with my dress anyway?My poor dress. Looks like we were never meant to be.I sighed and glanced at the other gowns. The one I had worn before was modest compared to half the dresses hanging in front of me. If that was his reaction to something that tame, I could not even imagine what he would do if I walked out in the next one I had picked.I swear he would kill me.I took three revealing dresses and set them aside. Better to avoid his temper.I picked the last one. Long. Puffy. The fabric was so soft it slipped through my fingers like silk water. Short embroidered sleeves curved gently over my shoulders. It looked dreamy. Like something a Disney princess would wear.I put it on.But I could not zip it up. The zipper at the back was longer than the last dress, and my hands could not reach it properly.I tried again. And again.Failed ever
Eleanor POVI walked beside him in silence until we stepped inside the center. I noticed many workers lining up neatly in rows.I thought they were welcoming us.I was just about to bow my head in thanks when Mr. Julian pulled me along and walked forward without a single glance at the people greeting him.How rude.Why am I even surprised?As if this is not normal behavior for him.I rolled my eyes secretly, making sure he would not notice. If he did, he would trap me again like last time and probably do something beyond my imagination.I can already picture his anger.We entered one of the stores, and an employee came toward us."Welcome, Mr. Julian. How may I assist you?""Show us the latest couple wedding rings."She nodded with a smile and gestured to the right."This way, please."We followed her until we stood in front of a large glass display filled with jewelry. Most of the space was occupied by rings. There were many types, but the majority were diamond and pure gold. The rem
Eleanor POVI finished my work at the company and hurried back home to get ready for my date with Mr. Julian. The time of our meeting was getting closer fast. Only thirty minutes left before he would pass by my house to pick me up.I stood in front of the mirror, fixing my three piece outfit. Two of them were the same color. My soft pink blazer and matching skirt, and underneath, a smooth white blouse.I styled my hair and let it fall over my shoulders. A light touch of makeup. I finished my look with pink lipstick and wore white high heels. I grabbed my white handbag and headed downstairs to wait for his call.The moment I stepped down, my phone rang. It was him.I said a quick goodbye to my sister and grandma, then rushed outside. I could already guess how much he hated being late or having his time wasted. And I definitely did not want to end up shoved into the corner of the car because of it.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my confidence, and walked straight toward his car
Eleanor POVI stood in my room, putting the final touches on my look. I wore a brown blouse with soft white patterns running across it, a white skirt that stopped mid thigh, and I let my hair fall freely over my shoulders. Just a little makeup. Nothing too much. I finished everything with brown high heels.Right on time.As I slipped my shoes on, I heard the sound of car wheels stopping in front of the house.My heart jumped.I hurried to the window. The second I opened it, I saw his black car parked outside. I knew that car by heart. And there he was, stepping out with that flawless presence of his.He wore a dark navy suit with thin white lines, a crisp white shirt stretching over his broad chest, outlining the hard planes of his upper body. His hair was styled neatly, a few smooth strands falling over his forehead.God&he
Eleanor Vance POVI snapped out of my thoughts when Ivy called my name sharply,“What are you daydreaming about, girl?”My cheeks turned red. Heat spread through my whole body because of those dirty thoughts I had just imagined. I quickly shook my head.“Nothing. What were you saying?”“I was asking what happened outside. We saw some very intense looks that almost burned through us.”I knew right away she meant Julian’s gaze. I was surprised they could feel it from that far away.What about me, who was standing right next to him?I didn’t just feel it. I melted from the heat of it inside me.“Nothing. Julian came back to give me my work ID that I dropped at the party last night.”“Then why were you in his car be
