ELEANOR'S POVIt was unfortunate that I had to bear all that mess and never talk. I could barely defend myself; I thought I had trashed all that they would think, but then I realised that somehow I still cared."Am I ever going to get over what Robert did to me?" I stared at my reflection in the mirror.My little ass was ready for work. My eyes were popping out due to the stress of trying to separate fights and trying to defend oneself from the whole fight.I'm not going to exempt the fact that I cried too.My heart couldn't take all those hurtful words and not react to them.For a moment I was about to get emotional again."No, no, not now. Not today." I snapped out of it and went for a pause on the table.I put on a smiling face and left the room immediately. By this time, Anderson wasn't awake.It would not be advisable for me to wake him up now.I am not ready for all the long talks and everything he has to say to me about the whole family function.I was able to drive out of the
ROBERT'S POVFamily function? Not my thing, but I had to go for some reason.Maybe one of my reasons was to see Eleanor and Anderson.How is their relationship bond?.I am not jealous, just checking.I wonder how Eleanor got to settle with Anderson. I mean, what exactly were his words that made her fall for him that easily?Or maybe she's just an easy catch.The times when she got to calm Anderson down made me jealous."I mean she learnt to be stronger now." I drank the wine while I stared at my reflection in the mirror.I kept having flashbacks of what happened.This is not a good sign, and I must snap out of it.I heard a soft knock on the door."Who's there?" I wasn't mentally prepared to meet anyone."Open the goddamn door, Robert!!!" My dad's voice was clearly heard.I hurried to the door and opened it."Dad..." I stuttered while opening the door."You don't seem so happy. What's the issue?" Dad was with a glass of wine, too.He walked into the room and sat on the couch."I don't
ELEANOR'S POVSitting there, I watched all the mess go on in the house.Adam really has some training to do with his son; I mean, Robert speaks to Anderson like his playmate.Those hurtful things.'Oh, wait, he went to the family?' I thought I was too busy trying to get comforted and forgot to know more about him.Really?He has more trauma to deal with. Robert tempted him so many times, and when he was about to react, I stopped him.As much as I want him to stab Robert to death, I don't want him to get into any case or get chased by the cops for some stupid shit."Eleanor…" I shivered when I heard Adam call my name.Someone who seemed to be worse than his son.My breathing pace had changed."About the divorce...." I'm glad Anderson stepped in.There was no answer I had for that. What exactly is he expecting me to say?I beg your son to take me back?I mean, he's literally walking around with his slut; what makes me think he wants me back?Why would I even give that a chance?I left A
ANDERSON'S POV All I thought was not happening , the ones I know nothing about, happened so quickly. I took a walk outside to calm my head from the things my nephew said.The fact that his father, my brother didn't get to stop him when he saw this.Just came in with, "enough?" When I had already gotten more than that. "All this tolerance is just to make a peaceful meeting. I do not want to be the reason the meeting cannot be held in peace." I took a deep breathe.The sudden realization that Eleanor was here and Robert is in the house too. *Oh shits!*I made her go back there out of anger. The walk is enough, I have been able to put myself back together. I walked back to the house, this time Adam was sitting on the table already."Where is he?" I asked with anger."When would you learn to be the bigger person in problems, Anderson?" Adam smirked.That was just for a few seconds before he got back to his normal face.*Cruel*"Being a bigger person? Your son will literally punch me
ELEANOR'S POV "Oh, not that gathering I wished to be." I murmured with my teeth clenched.I mean there was always an excitement when I'm told to come for a family function. This is coming from the person I did not expect to be with.I will have to deal with that later, for now I have to focus on how to get through with Adams.I took a deep breathe and walked out of the car. Anderson had gotten to the door, I rushed behind him immediately. I don't want those eyes piercing at me to do something stupid."I didn't expect them to be so many.""I didn't expect it either, but all hopes up because you are looking good." Anderson said that without looking back.Ohh.He heard that! I must have said that a little bit too loud."Oh brother!" Robert walked up to him to give him a handshake."What is the meaning of this?" Anderson stood tall and rejected the handshake immediately."Woah, woah. Sons, I didn't call for this." Adam Walters stepped in immediately when he found out that his sons were
ANDERSON'S POVWatching all the drama in there didn't give me satisfaction."Oh brother, if only I were given the chance to do what I think about every day..." I bit my lower lip and moved away.Eleanor didn't seem to notice that I was hanging around somewhere. She was so busy trying to support herself emotionally.I didn't see a reason to approach her; after all, she keeps letting Robert have his way with her.With so much speed, I drove home."Sir, you got the mail." One of the maids approached me at the door."You didn't even let me get in." I sighed."I'm sorry, sir, but it kind of came with a little urgency…" she explained further.What letter would be given to me with such urgency.I gave her a suspicious look as I opened the paper.I don't trust these workers, they Could write a resignation letter and claim it's urgent.I read through the letter and honestly....This was trash."When did they start sending in letters like I was some founder and they needed access to something?"
ROBERT'S POVThings got messed up, but I'm not going to accept the fact that Anderson is the one having her.Why must it have to be him?The thought of knowing that bastard had Eleanor didn't let me sleep peacefully at night; I thought of every possible way to make sure I put everything away.Well, Eleanor was not helping in any way. Girl hated to even know that I was breathing.The meeting at the dinner night party was a coincidence I would love to happen all the time."No, there's no way I would let that happen." I snapped hard when they got into the car.I ain't going to back down and he should be ready for that too. I called for my workers and gave out an instruction."I want it out, out on all platforms." "But sir, it could be published..." One of them had a look of worry on his face."Or maybe you could be fired." I smiled.Not a very good smile."Oh. I will do it right away." He shivered back to the computer.*Good*I waited patiently for the next day, and boom, the news will
Chapter 7ELEANOR'S POV"Are you telling me that he got back at you?" Sierra's eyes popped out.I could not wrap my head around what was happening; I do not know what to do exactly. I kept checking on my phone and found out that the pictures were still there."Yes, Sierra I am fucking confused. Can all this stop?" My heart was breaking from the things I saw on the phone. "Look, you need to keep calm and try not to bother yourself about what's going on, right?" Sierra got closer to me and pulled me to herself.This was the wrong time for her to say something like that; I mean, I can't be unbothered. I don't know what shit he was trying to play, but I do not want to be part of it.A soft knock came on the door.Sierra and I immediately reshaped our faces and acted cool."Who? Come in." I commanded…The little secretary walked in with a pile of work."Ouuuu, that's a lot of work." Sierra hissed."I don't get it. Haven't we been working on something for the past days?" My eyes lingered a
ANDERSON'S POVMy eyes were full of fury when I saw Eleanor leaning into Robert.Am I to think that nothing is going on?I couldn't get my eyes off Robert until I got into the car.His eyes spoke many things to me, that comeback smile."Drive!" I commanded the driver immediately.I just had to get out of there so I don't do something we will both regret.On getting to the house, I noticed that the car had been so quiet. I was so busy with my own thoughts.Eleanor hadn't said anything.What's up with the silence?I slowly turned to face her; she was looking out the window."I will need an explanation for everything when we get home...." I looked away after this statement."I..." She tried to speak, but I cut her off."I don't need that in the car." I cut in.She let out a heavy sigh, and there was a graveyard silence until we got home.****I bounced out of the car and walked to the room immediately. Eleanor was running behind me."Anderson!!" She yelled.Anderson? Yelling?I refused t
