last update Petsa ng paglalathala: 2025-06-15 21:15:20
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 was nothing.

Like it was normal.

Like this was my life now.

I kept on thinking while I stared at the ceiling until dawn, then dressed in silence and made my way downstairs. Alexander was already up,

  • Signed to Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 21: A dramatic day

    “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

  • Signed to Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 19: A game perfectly played

    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

  • Signed to Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 17: The unexpected Shift

    “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
