The cheers faded into a thick, humming silence.

I instantly saw faces around me gradually blur, nothing but a swirl of noise and color. At this point I wasn’t hearing the music anymore, or the laughter. Only the pounding rush of blood in my ears, drowning everything else out.

Brenton.

He was here.

He was currently standing comfortably and half-hidden among the crowd, leaning casually against a pillar like he belonged there. I was still staring at him when his head tilted slightly, the corner of

    “I beg your pardon?”“My pardon refuse to be begged, well I asked what you just told my dad”“And who is your dad, the one I know nothing of, that you speak of?”“Oh please don’t give me that act, I’ve encountered women like you trying to pave their way into his life the moment my mom passed away even before her burial, and now at her burial ceremony, you’re here to sway him. Don't you fear the dead? Or have what is called conscience ?”I was blown away, I would say. The confidence mixed with grief with which she speaks made me almost speechless.Alexander’s POVAnd who is your so-called father, young lady?I asked while I walked towards them, particularly taking Eleanor's hand, " Are you fine sweetheart?”I asked her as I looked at the young lady before me who was beginning to shiver. “I’m fine darling” Eleanor said in a well-satisfying tone.“Do you want me to repeat myself young lady?”“I I…. I’m sorry, Mr Pierce. I had no idea; I thought she was one of the women who had been tr

    Eleanor's POV“We will talk about all of that later. It's a private conversation.” Alex replied.“Hi Mrs Eleanor, I hope you’ve been well?” She asked with a smile on her face while looking in my direction.“I’m fine Hailey thank you. So you are here for…. I mean what’s the spontaneous thing we have to do now as I’ve been forced to cancel all my schedule?”“Oh that, well Mrs Eleanor so far I’ve made a proper schedule of all events, meetings, and all other occasions you and Mr Alexander Pierce would be attending in the process of this marriage, to always get you prepared and not otherwise.”“Okay, that’s a smart one” I commended her. “Thank you, ma’am, but it wasn’t all my idea”.“So whose idea was that? If I may ask..”“It's Mr. Pierce's idea ma’am.”“Ohhh okay,” well either way, I’m glad he could come up with something to my advantage.“So, how many events or meetings and the rest are we looking at?”“It’s a total of twelve, ma’am, for now, I would say, because some haven't been set

    Eleanor’s POV “Not again,” I whispered to myself, trying not to let my body take hold of me (fear), having hard Alex observations about him loving how scared he made me feel and how much he loves watching me act on it. So this time around, instead of the scared Eleanor, how about I be an actress for a few minutes? I told myself. While I walked towards him, seeing me walk majestically towards him made him shocked. I could practically see the shock on his face, if only he knew that was just an advertisement for the unscripted show I was about to make. “Oh Brenton, what a splendid surprise, I wasn’t expecting to see you but regardless I’m glad to see you,” I said, trying to look all confident. “You’re glad to see me?” He asked in utmost shock.“Is there a reason I shouldn't?” I asked, looking directly into his eyes.“Of course not,” he replied, while I helped him dust out a thread hanging on his left shoulder.“You should at least say thank you, for that” I added.“Oh, yeah,

  • Signed to Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 18: A Good Bad Day

    Eleanor's POV“Ow stooooop” I screamed burying my head into the soft pillows as if that could stop the alarm that was threatening to split my eardrums.What have I done to deserve this? I spent the whole night counting the lines and patterns on the ceiling because my brain won't just let me rest in peace and worse my eyes won't even shut.The more I tried to shut them, the more my head ached.And now that I finally decided to sleep, that was when my stupid alarm decided to go on.“Urggghh!” I groaned sweeping the poor alarm off the table as if it was the one that set it self to ring at 5am.The sound of the alarm crashing to the floor semmed to jolt me back into reality.“Common Eleanor!” I groaned.Dragging myself to my calendar, my eyes fell on something that made all the sleep in my eyes go to where -God- knows.It's today! Today is the day!!I jumped around my room like a little bunny.The day the doctor told me that my father will be able to open his eyes again after falling in

    “We shouldn't be doing this.” He hissed.Yes, we shouldn't and yet, here we are…with him standing between my legs while I was seated at the kitchen counter.With a sigh, he proceeded to walk away and I swear I don't know why but my heart kind of sank.What kind of a man is he? One minute, he will be acting like he cares or I mean something and then the other he acts as if he is being controlled by a remote and staying away.I wanted to say something but I don't know what it is.I just sat there—the same position he had left me.“Alexander…” I called but my throat was so dry that the sound came out more like a whisper so he didn't me or maybe he pretended he didn't.I bit my lower lip as if it would cool the painful heat rising in my chest.I sat at the counter for God knows how long till a maid came in.“Ma'am would you love…” “I want nothing.” I cut her off—a little bit more rude than intended.I jumped down the counter and marched to my room.What's wrong with me? Why am I mad?

    My heart was pounding so fast alongside.Not looking up I just bumped into him. I screamed out of fear and almost missed my step while trying to rush back into my room but he grabbed me gently by my wrist. “You scared cat it’s me” This was a manly soft version of his voice, and I love it. His voice melted into my skin and worked its magic, and immediately my nerves got super relaxed and calmed. Why are you here? I asked trying to sound like I’m all good and relaxed after pulling a dramatic stunt I wanted to apologize for how I acted earlier, but apologies aren’t really my thing, so I didn’t know if I should call you out of your room, knock, or send you a text. I was navigating all of that and you appeared.“You were the one who acted like a ghost and appeared out of nowhere” I said to myself.Then I was like “so..?” Okay, I’m sorry.Sorry for? For acting the way I acted earlier. And how did you act? Eleanor! you're already making this hard for me. I just told you apology is

    Alexander woke up before me, still lying beside me when he felt something unfamiliar: Peace.He tried to brush this off, but instead, he watched me so closely that he began touching my hair while I was still asleep. I almost woke up when his hand brushed my forehead. I guess that was when he sto

    My father's thoughts came through my mind while I was seated on the bed in the guest room with the gun also sitting beside me. It felt so cold, holding it ignited thoughts. That person I was trying to protect was still lying helplessly in the hospital. I got so worried thinking “What if Brenton

    I couldn't sleep that night. Fear sinks its claws into me.The gun sat on my nightstand like a dark augury. Its cold presence made everything real. No more pretending. No more detachment. Brenton was close, close enough to photograph me through a window.And Alexander… he handed me a weapon like it

    Morning came like a slap.I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t. My body was exhausted, but my mind ran wild images of Brenton's face in the crowd, Alexander's coldness on the balcony, the bitter taste of disappointment still sharp on my tongue.I dragged myself out of bed and into the en-suite bathroom.
