Eleanor's POV
I woke up with soreness all over my body, even my bones felt like leaving my joints.I opened my eyes tiredly, and I came face to face with a good-looking man.His facial features looked so sharp under the early morning sun that shined into the room.He had a tall brow ridge and a deep nice set of eyes, with the morning sunset on his face, his messy hair cast a shadow on his face, but it could not hide the arrogance in his face.I looked at him, admiring him, but soon my mind flashed back to the previous night. It filled my mind, and it made me gasp quietly. I quickly held my mouth to avoid making a noise.Did I just…?I suddenly remembered the previous night, it happened so quickly.I recently found out my boyfriend of six years was cheating on me. Hence, it made me go to a bar to drink and drown my fury.I asked the waiter to bring me the strongest liquor they had. I had a low tolerance for alcohol and I felt like throwing up after having one shot.I ran to the bathroom to throw up, and I mistakenly bumped into a handsome young man. The man wore a white striped shirt buttoned to his neck.He had a prominent Adam's apple, a cold glare and an unapologetic demeanor.At the moment I set my eyes on him, I remembered my cheating boyfriend, and suddenly, I turned desperate to the man.I clung to his neck and I kissed him hungrily. In response, he grabbed my waist and lifted my petite body into his arms.His warm lips covered my mind, and it tasted like fine sweet wine.I surrendered to him, I opened my mouth a little and his tongue entered into mine to taste it.In my drunk state, I was unaware that he had carried me through the private elevator to his suite.I vaguely felt him placing me gently on the bed before he undressed me and started kissing me, starting from my neck.I felt a flutter in my stomach as he grabbed my ankle and parted my legs. I tried to close my legs. I was so ashamed, so I tried to close my legs, but he wedged it with his knee and kept them apart.My God, he was about touching me there….The next moment, I felt something big and hard filling me.He kissed me and panted in my ears. I never knew my body would be this sensitive.Even in darkness, he kept thrusting his hardness deep in and out of me.He had an unimaginable stamina. I grabbed his shoulder and I begged him to let me rest, but he never stopped and in the end, I fainted from the exhaustion.Now, my heart is covered with the flashbacks of our love making.I calmed myself down and looked at his face, I noticed that he was not just handsome, but he was good in bed as well.Although, last night was my first time. I only felt pain during the first penetration, but the rest was pleasure.Seeing how he worked hard last night, I took out 100 dollars from my bag. I thought for a minute and I brought out another 100 dollar note and placed it at the edge of the bed. Immediately I freshened up, put on my dress and left quietly. Because I overexerted myself last night. My legs felt feeble as I tried to walk, and my steps were wobbly.I looked at the handsome sleeping man once again before I ran out of the room.**********************Years later, on the fifth floor of an apartment in the outskirts.There were toys scattered in every corner of the room and the play mats were decorated with cartoons and the floor was covered in mess.I stood with one foot on the mat while I stretched the other out behind me, forming a split.I had just closed my eyes to enjoy a quiet and peaceful moment of yoga when the door was pushed open and the quadruplets rushed in.“Mummy…”“Mummy…”“Mummy…”“Mummy…”The children shouted and ran towards me.“Stop running…” I shouted.The children collided with me, making me fall and roll into a corner. I was shocked and dumbfounded.Robert sterling and Matthew climbed to my upper body playfully, while Mitchell and Victoria also crawled all over my body.From a distance, it would seem like I was covered with toys.The nanny ran into the room but couldn't help but laugh at the sight.On the other hand, Robert fell into a corner, but got up and ran back to my body.Finally, I got free from them and I managed to sit up. However, Matthew still clung to my back. His feet swung as he tried to climb on my shoulders.“Matthew, get down. You will fall down and injure yourself” I warned.“Mummy, I'm not scared. I'm the strongest man ever” he said while raising his leg and he fell down from my body.“Are you still the strongest man?” I teased.“Mummy look I have a flower” Victoria said, showing me a flower on her palm.She looked at me with bright eyes, she was expecting praise.“That's beautiful” I said.“I have a flower too,” Robert said as he brought out his flower.“Me too,” Matthew said.I turned to Mitchell, and she said, “mummy I gave mine out”I laughed, thinking she might have probably given it to a boy.I turned to the nanny, “you can close for the day and go home”“Alright ma'am. I will be here by 7:am tomorrow”. “Yes sure”.After the nanny left, the quadruplets and I were the only ones at home.I stood up and went to prepare their bottles for them.“The bottles are ready” I called out, and they all rushed to me.They looked at me, waiting for my instructions.“Line up kids and take your bottles accordingly”“One”“Two”“Three”“Four…”And I gave out their bottle of milk to them.The milk was just an appetizer for them. So I proceeded to prepare their meal. Mashed potatoes and diced meat. When the food was ready, I brought out their eating chairs.They all took their seats and were waiting for their meal.I served them and they all began to eat. I watched them eat with relish, and I felt a sense of fulfillment and love.Years ago, I met a man at the bar and after a one-night stand, I became pregnant…….“Sebastian, I heard you have bought the RSTV station. Is that true? She asked.“Is there anything you want to say? He asked.“I'm just surprised, that's all. But I know you have a reason behind your decision. It's just that I don't like Eleanor.”His gaze darkened, and he stopped what he was doing.“I bet you are not aware that she tried to seduce Michael. I even saw her going into his car last night, and they left together.”Sebastian, who was busy with some files all these while, raised his head on hearing her.He was emitting a cold aura from his head to toe.When she sensed he was staring intently at her, she shrugged and hurriedly straightened her posture like she was in a comfortable position.“I'm not lying, if you doubt me, then you can ask the TV station manager. He was at the bar as well. That girl is too ambitious. If not for the fact that you said you won't change any staff, I would have dismissed her, but there is nothing I can say.” He pushed the files away from the des
“You ignorant bitch!! How dare you lay your filthy hands on me” she asked, boiling in rage.“You can't slap anybody as you wish, Miss Baker. This is a payback slap, learn to stop taking advantage of others.” I said unyieldingly.The TV station manager was shocked as he pointed at me and snarled.“You have got some guts, huh? Do you know who she is? She is Mr. Donovan's fiancé, the CEO of Skyline Group. Where the hell did you get such courage to hit her? I will make your life miserable in Springville.”Just as I was about to talk, a voice from behind interrupted me.“I'm not aware an ordinary TV station manager now has the final say in Springville.”I turned around and saw Michael walking in with his hands in his pocket. He had a stern expression on his face.The manager was shocked and tried to change his words.“Umm… I was only trying to caution her, nothing else.”Knowing that Michael was a tough one, Taylor tried to get hold of herself.“The manager isn't wrong. Since she had the g
Now I won't be able to leave this TV station until he says so>Taylor hopped down from her car as soon as she got to the TV station. She walked quickly in high heels.Wendy, who was waiting for her at the door, pointed out to her.“Wow, so she knows she is late. I thought she didn't have self-awareness at all.” I eyed her but didn't say a word.I remembered how I was always scolded by her the last time I was working at the TV station. Wendy hated it when someone was late.Unfortunately, she couldn't dare to say anything to Taylor Baker.When Taylor saw Wendy and I standing at the door, she slowed down her step and looked at us arrogantly.“Miss Baker, you have arrived. I have been waiting for…” Before Wendy could finish her sentence, Taylor interrupted her.“Sebastian is waiting for me, right? I already told him I would be a bit late.” She said as she showed off.“Do you know he doesn't want me to stress myself, but I choose to be independent.”Wendy and I looked at her awkwardly.“E
Wendy leaned closer to me before she asked the question. She didn't want anyone to hear her.I never thought she would ask such a question while thinking about what Taylor Baker looked like. “You are prettier,” I said hesitantly.“I want to tell you a secret, just because you praised me. Taylor Baker is Sebastian Donovan of Skyline Group's fiancée.” She said.I was shocked.“It's shocking, right? That's why you have to be careful during the interview. Don't say what you shouldn't say, I don't need to remind you. Are we clear?I understood what she was saying.“We are clear.”The last thing I wanted was to lose this job.“Good.” She said and left.This was the first time I heard Sebastian has a fiancé.I had no idea even while I was working in the skyline group.I quickly went to find out what Taylor Baker looked like, or else it would be embarrassing if I didn't recognize her when she arrived.However, I was shocked when j saw her picture. I looked at it in disbelief.I waited for he
Thereafter, Michael didn't do anything intimate with me. He only whispered a few words, then he let me go.From the look on his face, while watching the footage, he knew we interacted and were not newly acquainted.He stood up angrily.“Mr Donovan, the people of RSTV station don't know the relationship between Michael and Eleanor.Nothing is going on between them.” Ethan said.“Nothing, huh? He asked in a deep voice. His gaze was still fixed on the footage.He thought, and his facial muscles were tense.Ethan stood quietly, staring at him. He didn't dare breathe loudly.Without the footage, no one would have ever known we knew each other. However, it has said it all. Michael and I have known each other for a very long time.“I want you to buy the TV station immediately,” Sebastian yelled and his voice echoed.“Yes sir, I will work on that right away.”Meanwhile, I was happy. I had just finished my interview.I was not only employed, there was no probation period and I signed a contra
“Why are you having snacks and drinks for lunch? He asked.“I thought Selene gave you her debit card.”“Why is my life your business? I asked angrily.His question sounded ridiculous, so I stood up and was about to leave.“Come have lunch with me.” He said and followed.“Why would I want to have lunch with you? There are hundreds of ladies out there who will gladly accept not me.”“None of them would dine with me.” He said.“That's your problem, not mine,” I said and turned to leave.“Eleanor, come on, please. I will take you somewhere nice.”“Fine…” I said as I remembered how hungry I was.We sat by the window side in a high-end restaurant.I couldn't understand what he was trying to do.It felt like he was trying to reconcile with me, but I told him it was never going to happen.Our meal arrived, and I noticed he ordered all of my favorite meals“Michael, I hope you are not trying to get back with me.” I teased.He was taken aback, then he looked at me.“Stop overthinking this.”“It
The lady looked familiar, but I couldn't recognize who she was. Maybe she was a celebrity.I don't pay much attention to celebrities, but I do see them on the news occasionally.“I'm sorry,” I said.The lady looked at me like she noticed something that got her threatened.“Do you work here? She asked, looking irritated.“No.”“Do you know how much this dress costs, can you afford to pay for it, do you think your apology can get the stain off?The staff were all staring at me like snubs. They ignored me because it was a situation of the rich bullying the poor.I didn't want to argue with her. Most importantly, Sebastian might come in soon, so I needed to leave.“Don't you dare try to run away?” The lady (Taylor Baker) said as she grabbed my dress.I was trapped.The door of the restaurant was pushed open and Sebastian walked in with his bodyguards.The manager quickly went to meet him in fear because he wasn't expecting to see him.“Mr. Donovan, would you like us to clear this place? H
“Get into the car, let's go home and talk.” She said.I got into the car along with my kids. They were having their chocolate with them.However, Zoe wasn't having any. She sat quietly looking at the chocolate in their hands. It was obvious she wanted hers.Robert looked at her, then back at the chocolate in his hand, then without hesitation, he gave it to her.She was shy at first because she felt awkward. Then she took it.They took turns eating the chocolate.It was an unhygienic game.I wasn't sure if I should stop them or not.On a normal day, Selene would have stopped Zoe, but her focus was currently on me and the kids who she heard call me mummy.She was looking troubled.When we got to my apartment, my kids ran inside. They started playing with each other.It was Zoe's first time here, but she was comfortable with my kids. They went along so well.Meanwhile, Selene kept looking at my apartment while she was observing everywhere, I offered her water.“Thanks but I don't want
Eleanor's POV “I never knew you were related to them. Ethan said.I knew he was referring to Mr. Gabriel and Selene. With the look of things, Sebastian wants nothing to do with Donovan's family.“I wasn't aware as well, I just found out recently,” I said.“Was it the reason you wanted to quit? He asked.“Yes.”There was no point lying to him anymore.“As our previous staff, I want you to know that if you have issues getting another job, you can come back and ask Mr. Donovan for help.” “Are you insinuating that no one will hire me if I go look for a job, is it because of Mr. Donovan? I asked, frowning.“No, I'm not insinuating that. All I'm trying to say is if Mr. Donovan decides that no one will hire you, no one would dare go against his order.” He explained.I understood what he was trying to say. Many prestigious company owners are loyal to Mr. Donovan.And if they know I'm fighting against the skyline group, no one would dare go against his command unless they have made up their
