Chapter Forty-OneEleanor's POVThe private jet moved smoothly through the sky as we made our way to Italy.I sat beside the window, my head resting lightly against the seat while I watched the scenery outside. The clouds stretched across the sky in thick white layers, occasionally parting to reveal the land far beneath us. The view was beautiful, but I couldn't fully enjoy it.In as much as I tried to distract myself from the weird atmosphere in the jet, I still find my mind going back to it.Adrian sat opposite me with a newspaper held open in front of him. His eyes moved across the pages, although his expression remained unusually serious. He barely spoke, and the occasional movement of his fingers against the newspaper was the only indication that he was even aware of the people sitting around him.It wasn't my intentions to bring him alongside with us. I was randomly texting him and I told him about how we wanted to go and convince an investor.I had no idea that he was going t

Chapter Forty-ThreeEleanor's POV"I bet he's safe somewhere. You should stop getting worried," Adrian said, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove toward the hotel.I looked down at my phone again, watching the call to Julian end without an answer. I had been calling him ever since we left the party, but every attempt had ended the same way. There was no answer, no text back. Everything was just blank.I tried calling again.The ringing seemed to go on forever before the call finally disconnected.Adrian glanced at me. "You've called him enough, Eleanor. He probably went somewhere quiet, and knowing Julian, he'll show up whenever he feels like it.""I'm worried about him. He's my brother," I replied immediately, my fingers tightening around the phone. "He walked out of that party with some woman, and I haven't heard from him since. He could at least answer one call."Adrian sighed, reaching across the center console before taking the phone from my hand. "You've been calling him for

Chapter Forty-Five Eleanor's POV I couldn't stay in that room. The moment Adrian's question left his mouth, it felt weird and I definitely wasn't ready to answer. I turned away from him before he could see how badly I was struggling to hold myself together, opened the door, and walked out without giving him an explanation. My vision was blurred with tears, and I barely paid attention to where I was going. I only knew that I needed distance from Adrian before I said something I wasn't ready to say. I made it only a few steps down the hallway before I nearly walked straight into Julian. He stopped immediately when he saw my face. "Eleanor?" His expression changed as his eyes moved over me. "What happened?" I shook my head and tried to walk past him, but he caught my arm gently. "You're crying." "I'm fine." "Did he make you cry again? did that bastard make you cry?" His voice wasn't accusing, but the frustration underneath it was obvious. I looked toward the door beh

Chapter Forty-Seven Eleanor's POV After careful deliberation on places to go to after Adrian left, that's was how I ended up standing outside one of the largest amusement parks I had ever seen, staring up at a roller coaster that seemed determined to touch the clouds. The tracks twisted above us in impossible loops, disappearing behind enormous structures before dropping sharply toward the ground. Bright lights lined the rides even though the afternoon sun was still high, and the sound of music, laughter and distant screams filled the air. Children ran between their parents with colorful balloons clutched in their hands, teenagers crowded around the game stalls, and couples walked past us carrying ridiculous stuffed animals they had apparently won after spending too much money trying to knock down tiny targets. I smiled before I even realized I was doing it. Julian came to stand beside me and followed my gaze toward the roller coaster. His expression changed when he notice

Chapter Forty-NineEleanor's POV.We returned back to the hotel and it was quite late already. My legs were aching really badly while I wished there was a way I could relieve the pain for a bitI dropped the ridiculous stuffed animal Julian had won onto the sofa before sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing my calf with both hands as I tried to ease the tightness that had settled there.Julian noticed almost immediately. “You're hurting.”“I've been trying not to complain about it,” I admitted, looking down at my leg. “I think all the walking finally caught up with me.”“You should have said something earlier. I didn't know it had that bad, I thought it was just a slight pain.”“I didn't want to ruin the day. We were having fun.”“You wouldn't have ruined anything.” He came closer and crouched in front of me, his expression becoming more serious as he looked at my leg. “Where exactly does it hurt?”“My calf. It's mostly just tight.”He made me sit on the edge of the bed while he gent
