Downfall Ellie Sanders Novels & Stories

Pausing in the middle of yanking my jeans up my lithe legs, I almost fell forward at Silas’s revelation, but I caught myself at the last moment, a dresser nearby taking the brunt of my fall as I stuck my hand out just in time. As I quickly zipped my jeans and did up the button, I considered what I’d witnessed for myself. Vaguely, I recalled thinking the acidic rain had been falling more than it had when I’d initially left the fallout shelter, but I didn’t have a huge time of reference to go on. I wasn’t sure how Silas knew what was coming, but I wouldn’t discount his warning either. The time sensitivity had me close to teetering over the edge, anxiety threatening to take the reins, but I man

I would not call it divine retribution, but I believed that this was the road he had chosen for himself. Sophia did not fare any better. After she was fired, her reputation in the industry was ruined. Everyone knew she had been the other woman. Rumor had it she tried to reach Vincent after everything fell apart, expecting him to take responsibility. She likely assumed that even without the company, he must have hidden money somewhere.

Huge, body-racking sobs escaped her lips as she curled up on the floor. “How could you not believe me, Leo? I have worked for you, and in the last few months I have never done anything mischievous. Why now?” Ellen muttered. “Why would someone do this to me? If I get my hands on you, whoever you are, arrgghh,” Ellen screamed silently in frustration. “You must be so happy right now, Sandra,” Ellen stated as she calmed down and her tears stopped. She always wanted me out of her way; well, she finally has her wish come true, Ellen thought.

Her bottom lip was trembling just slightly, and her breathing had gone shallow and shaky. “Cat?” I stepped toward her, trying to keep my voice steady. “Hey. We’re gonna be fine. It’s probably just a malfunction or some idiot who blocked the door. We’re nae gonna be in here long.” She didn’t answer. Instead, her eyes filled up, slow and silent, before a single tear slid down her cheek. “We’re going to die in here, Ellie,” she whispered, voice cracking like thin ice. “I have so much I wanna do still…”

The new intern had a habit of calling my husband "Daddy." "Daddy, I am having the worst luck today. Could you please go buy me some feminine products?" "Daddy, I cannot get the zipper on my dress unstuck. Can you help me?" "Daddy, why do you not have my hair tie around your wrist? I think you deserve a punishment. Wear two. Pink ones, okay?" I frowned as irritation simmered beneath the surface. My husband waved it off with a casual smile. "She is just being playful. Do not take it seriously. She is young and enjoying the novelty. She will get over it soon enough." I said nothing. I waited until the night of the company’s annual gala. She suddenly stumbled in front of everyone and fe

My world fell apart over an encrypted link from the dark web. My husband, Don Marcello, was there on our marriage bed, pounding into another woman. All the top bosses in North America were watching. He held her in his arms, laughing about me. His fragile, naive little trophy wife who could never leave him. Even the live chat was a stream of insults. Calling me the useless wife who couldn't even get her husband into bed. But the worst part? The way he acted when I found out. He grabbed my chin. Told me the whole disgusting betrayal was just "an act to keep our allies happy." He even let his mistress brag about it to every socialite in the city. My humiliation became their afternoon entertain

"I don't know where my phone went." "Here, it was on the floor earlier," Jake offered her the phone and asked, "Why don't we go get the movie started and when you're done you can come out and join us?" Ellie nodded her head, looking down at the phone in her hand. She turned the button on the side and noted the 7 missed calls and 13 text messages. Sam, Meredith, Jake, and Firash filed out of the room and moved down the hall toward the lounge as Ellie took a deep breath. She unlocked the screen and stared at the notifications. Her eyes filled with tears. She wasn't cut out for this; she was supposed to be an extra through high school. One of those students that didn't stand out in the spotligh

“Today’s Ellie’s birthday, right?” “Kate,” I said in warning. She tilted her head. “She didn’t marry, did she?” “I don’t have spies in the Family, so I wouldn’t know.” “It would have been in the news.” I had stopped searching for news on Ellie a few days after I’d released her. She was a thing of the past. “I thought she was falling for you ...” I stood, glaring down at her. “You women always need to turn everything into a fairy tale, even a kidnapping. Ellie was my captive. The only falling she did was her fall from grace.”
