I honestly need to start uploading 4 chapters a day. Guys I need motivation
Eliana"So you're telling me that you followed my advice and it backfired on you?" Rachel asked as we walked side by side towards our college main parking lot after our last class."Well you didn't mention the part where I would get turned on too." I glared at her.She laughed out loud, attracting eyes from other students. "What's the problem if you got dicked? I told you either way it would be a win-win situation.""I felt good. Yes, god, I'm even having trouble peeing," I whispered while looking around to make sure nobody was listening in on our conversation."So you're sore, a good sore huh? I know the feeling babes and you're glowing too." Rachel didn't know when to lower her voice. There wasn't an ounce of giving a damn in her and I loved her for it."But, babes, the mission failed," I reminded."You can always retry." She wiggled her eyebrows."You just want me to stop walking all together." I rolled my eyes at her."But of course. If the d is good then you should take it like t
Nicholas"Do you have eyes on Eliana as we speak?" I barked at Daren over the phone call while I waited for the elevator to open."Yes, sir, she is at a pool party.""And you didn't think to fucking inform me?" I got into the lift with my car keys in my left hand."I told Allan, sir." I pressed the basement button."Make sure she does not leave your sight. If any horny boy gets close to her, fucking deal with them. I am on my way." With that, I hung up and dialled Allan's number straight from my head."You can't just call at this time of the night; what if I am making love to my wife?" I clicked at Allan's dry joke, looking at the indicator as the electric-powered car started descending."Why didn't you tell me that Eliana is at a party after Daren updated you?" I thundered, forgetting for a moment that Allan was my second brother. Even for him, I couldn't hold back when it came to Ellie."Relax, man; that girl needs to spend time with her peers. What's wrong with her having a little b
ElianaI leaned on the passenger seat of Nick's car, eyes closed, as I battled a growing headache. My head felt heavy, I barely had any voice, and my throat was sore. The aftermath of drinking the previous night had caught up with me, and to worsen it all, I had to accompany Nick to pick up mom and Rob at the airport."You've been quiet the entire drive, honey. Is everything okay?" My mom spoke behind me in the rear seat. Her and Rob had insisted on sitting at the back together, holding hands and spotting huge, dazzling smiles."Just headache." It was half the truth. She didn't have to know I had been out drinking because she would skin me alive. She wasn't against me going out as long as I followed curfew and didn't drink anything alcoholic."Have you taken something to get rid of the ache?" I groaned inwardly. I needed silence because every word she pronounced felt like a hammer was pounding the top of my head. I missed her, but I couldn't stop thinking about her lying and using Nic
Nicholas"Find as much information as you can about Nora. Use the company's resources even if you have to exhaust them because something is very wrong," I whispered to Allan, looking at Eliana as she slept soundly on my lap. After she had woken up in the hospital, she refused to talk or look at her mother and insisted on coming with me."I'm way ahead of you." Allan smirked, taking a sip of white wine from his glass."What do you mean?" I asked, tucking a stray strand of hair behind Ellie's ear."I have been doing some digging since the day she lied to Eliana using your name." He lifted his glass in the air, proud of himself."Well, what do you have so far?" I asked, looking at my girlfriend to make sure she was still asleep and wasn't listening to our conversation. The doctor said that anxiety had lowered her blood pressure, which in turn led to reduced oxygen in her brain. He had also added that the medications he gave her had a little bit of sedative in them, so I knew she wasn't g
ElianaI awoke with my throat so dry and burning up, my head still heavy, and my muscles sore. Slowly, I pulled myself up, grunting like a wounded animal. I smiled briefly when I noticed that I was in Nick's shirt, with no bra beneath, just my favourite red panties. My memory was still fresh, and the wound in my heart that my mother's actions had caused was still bleeding."Nicholas," I called, breaking into a series of coughs as I looked around for him. Thoughts about how lucky I was to have such a loving man ran through my mind side by side with those of my mom."Nick?" I pushed the comforter off me, draped my legs over the edge of the bed, and then stood on the fluffy, soft area rug. When I didn't get a response, I decided to go downstairs for a glass of warm water and find something to eat while at it. Dragging my feet along the hallway while looking at the eye-catching art, I caught a familiar voice."Mom?" I whispered to myself, furrowing my eyebrows, wondering what she was doin
NicholasOn Monday morning around 11, I stood in front of my office, hands inside my pants pocket, as I looked at the sky. Something about how dark the clouds were brought about dread inside me. It was almost as if they were predicting something bad to happen. I wasn't much of a believer when it came to nature signs, but in that particular moment, I could feel my heart beat accelerate.I barely heard the door being opened as Allan walked in and silently stood beside me. For a few minutes, he uttered no word, and that is how I knew something was wrong somewhere. He always started conversations when it came to us, and whenever he had little to say, I knew it indicated a problem somewhere."I take it you sent someone to Sander's residence?" I broke the silence without turning to look at him. My muscles were tense beneath my button-up shirt, and they only got worse when he delayed answering me.He cleared his throat first, then answered, "she wasn't there." My heart just sunk."But there
ElianaDorian, Rachel, and I tiptoed inside Robert's house after climbing through the kitchen window, which, luckily for us, had been left open. I had called them immediately after Nicholas left for work and told them everything that had happened. Rachel, being the crazy one as usual, suggested we snoop around my mom's things and see whether we'd find my father's documents. I was up for it, because losing my father's house wasn't something I was just going to sit and allow. So innocently, I called Robert and asked him where he left, citing that I wanted to visit him and mom and talk."Where do we even begin?" Rachel whispered while munching on an apple she had picked up from the kitchen counter."Why are you whispering dumbass? There is no one home." I laughed at her."Why are you tiptoeing and we are alone? Dumbass," she reiterated with her mouth full, using my words against me."We don't have time to eat, Rae; they could be back any minute." Dorian pulled her towards the L-shaped st
Nicholas"Nora Smith and Marya Sanders are the same person," I whispered, the reality of the matter sinking in while my body unfroze. Instead, my fingers began shaking as waves of shock ran through me with such uncontrollable intensity."And she is no doubt using her stepson to eliminate Eliana. She is behind it all," Allan added, while my eyes remained glued on the impostor my brother had married. How was he going to deal with it? How would he survive such a fucking painful revelation? I could relate given what Brittany did to me, but while I was young and stupid, Rob was mature and in love with Nora.I had trusted his decision to marry her, but it seems he didn't run a thorough background check on her. Otherwise, he would have noticed that something was wrong with her."How will I tell Eliana and Rob? Where will I even begin knowing it's going to break the hearts of the people I love?" I dropped the photo on my desk and buried my face in my shaky hands. My mind at that moment was sa
