Asthma attack
Eleanor's POV My fear went into overdrive. I knew I owed him an explanation.“I didn't mean to lie to you. I recently found out about my mother and also found out that she is married to the Donovan family. When I knew you weren't on good terms with your family, I tried to quit, but you didn't let me. I'm sorry.” I said stuttering.“Would you like me to take those off for you? He asked as he turned and looked at me ferociously.“My mother is not what you think of her, those are just rumors,” I said, trying desperately to make him understand.He flicked away his cigar and got up angrily.I tried to run, but there was no way I could compete with him even if I was given a head start.He caught me and pushed me against the wall.I felt a sharp pain tear through my back and I pleaded.“Don't please…”“You wished for death, and I will grant your wish.” He smirked.His rage took over him fully.My whole body started trembling. I used all my strength to push him, but I couldn't.“Why are you

How it started
Eleanor's POV As I heard her question, I lowered my eyes to the ground and I remained silent.“Are you sure she has asthma? Sebastian asked with a darkened face.With the look on his face, Mrs. Edna could tell he was suspecting me, things weren't as simple as they seemed.“We can go for a check-up at the hospital.” She said and got up.His expression turned terrifying when he sensed the guilt on my face.“Then you have to go for the check-up.” He said.“I'm fine, I don't want to go.” I refused because I'm not asthmatic.“You don't have a choice.” He said and proceeded to drag me out of the suite.“Let me go.” I struggled, but there was no way I could break free from his grip. The more I struggled, the more my wrist became sore and felt like my bones were broken.After all my struggling, he still dragged me out. Mrs. Edna stood looking at the whole drama in shock. She thought to herself as she hurried to catch up with us.His car was already parked outside waiting for us. When we

laid off
Eleanor's POV He left his bodyguards in charge of me and left.They knew that the message was for Ethan in the skyline group.It was time I left the company for good.After he left, Mrs. Edna walked up to me.“Wait, I will get your medicine.” She said.“There is no need for that.”“Take it with you just in case of any emergency.”I knew there was no need for the medicine, but I took it.It was a physiological problem.I was fine until I met Sebastian.His hatred increased, knowing I was Selene's daughter.After taking my medicines, I left the hospital. While I was walking, I felt my body becoming weak and unable to go further, so I sat by the roadside and rested.Instead of taking a cab, I decided I was going to take the subway. I sat there staring at the moon shining brightly in the sky. It was a thrilling night.My body was weak, as if I encountered death but escaped.All of a sudden, the brightness of the moon was blocked by a shadow, and I trembled.When I looked up and saw the

Who owns the kid
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

Job hunt
“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.

Stalked
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?

CCTV footage
“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

Buy the TV station
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

warned
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.

Shocked
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
