"I don't understand what Kayden saw in you," Aurora snapped, her words cutting through the tension-filled air like a knife. Eleanor braced herself for the confrontation, her patience wearing thin as she prepared to defend herself once again.Refusing to back down, Eleanor met Aurora's gaze head-on, her resolve unwavering despite the younger woman's hostility. "Let him decide that," she retorted coolly, her tone tinged with defiance. "Instead of showing so much interest in mine and Kayden's marriage, perhaps you should focus on your own. If you had spent as much time with Sebastian as you do criticizing others, I'm sure you would have had babies by now."The words hung heavy in the air, the silence that followed punctuated by the weight of Eleanor's pointed remark. Aurora's eyes welled with tears, her composure crumbling in the face of Eleanor's unexpected jab. With a cold glance in Eleanor's direction, she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room, her emotions raw and unchecked.
WATSON MANSIONSebastian Knight and Adam Watson sat in the living room of the Watson Mansion discussing their political moves ahead. Adam Watson had never shown any support to Sebastian’s political party so far but then times were changing and also now he had a connection with the Knights after getting Eleanor married to that family. Hence, he had personally invited Sebastian over breakfast today, so that he could put forth his own ambitions towards the advancement of his political career which couldn’t be a success without Sebastian Knight’s political party’s support.Sebastian Knight and Adam Watson sat across from each other in the elegant study of the Watson Mansion, the atmosphere tense with anticipation. Sebastian, his brow furrowed in concern, set his cup of tea aside as he broached the topic at hand."Mr. Governor, if we don't think about each other, who else will?" Sebastian's words held a note of urgency as he pressed Adam for his allegiance. "The elections are on my head.
“That picture should have been a closed-door moment, Kayden. I am very against such public display of affection unnecessarily. But Eleanor… huh!!” he sighed. “She is just used to all this. After all, she is a model. Such exposure doesn’t count for her. She takes it all very lightly”Though Kayden agreed to the modeling part, he wouldn’t say that Eleanor did it all on purpose. They were not even aware of someone clicking their photo.“In a marriage, Mr. Watson” Kayden leaned back. “Both husband and wife are equally responsible to decide what part of their lives should be exposed and what should be hidden. If you are blaming Eleanor for this, I am equally to be blamed”Adam was stunned at Kayden’s continuous attempts to take Eleanor’s side. Seemed like Eleanor had circled her magic wand on her Knight husband. In one way, he was happy about it. He will just have to convince Eleanor and then she would in turn convince Kayden to get his proposal forward.“Well… I am glad that she is accust
“Eleanor.. this is seriously not a good idea. I think we should head back,” Avery muttered, biting her nails. She and Eleanor were driving to the farm house where Kayden and Max were having a night out. This was Eleanor’s plan to set things right not just for Avery but also for herself. She messed up with Kayden’s lunch and should apologize without any further doubt.Eleanor rolled her eyes at her best friend, Avery, who seemed to be in a perpetual state of worry.Eleanor leaned in, her tone oozing with reassurance. "You'll thank me later for this," she assured Avery, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Avery's concern crept into her voice as she glanced around the room, noting the masculine decor. "I doubt it. It's going to be all boys in that house. Do you really think Kayden Knight will appreciate it?" Her fingers tapped nervously on the arm of the chair.With a nonchalant shrug, Eleanor's confidence remained unshaken. "Stop fretting, Avery. I've got everything under control." She
"Eleanor..." Avery's voice broke through the tension, her tone resigned. "We should leave. These men always think they're right."Avery’s eyes filled with tears. She had seen enough drama here and wasn’t prepared for more. She held Eleanor’s wrist and tried to drag her away. But the moment she tried to take Eleanor away from this place, she felt a sharp pull from Eleanor’s end as if Eleanor wasn’t moving an inch from the spot. When she turned around, she realized it wasn’t Eleanor but Kayden who had grabbed his wife’s arm and stopped her from going anywhere. Avery wondered how to absorb this."I am not done with my wife yet," Kayden's voice sliced through the air, sharp and commanding. Avery's heart skipped a beat at his tone, her eyes widening in surprise."And neither are you with your husband Max," he added, his gaze now fixed on Avery, his expression unreadable.Avery's mind raced with confusion. What did he mean by that? She muttered shyly, unsure of how to respond to Kayden's un
FARM HOUSE“Ridiculous,” Eleanor snapped as she was taking deep breaths to calm her raging nerves down. “He is doing this on purpose.”Eleanor paced in the kitchen of the Farm House where Avery had dragged her to seclude them from the rest. After Kayden’s unnecessary love confession, Eleanor was going insane in the crowd. Whilst Kayden was busy taking wishes from his friends for being in love, Eleanor was infuriated every time someone came to her and congratulated on the way she put up her love confession before everyone, which wasn’t true. The apology chapter was closed and a new one related to their love for each other was opened which annoyed her beyond control.Eleanor's voice trembled as she spoke, her frustration palpable in the air of the opulent Knights' mansion. "You were right. We shouldn’t have come here," she stated, her tone heavy with disappointment. "He smartly twisted the whole apology into his favor and pasted this lie for everyone to see. How could he do this? I don
It was almost 2:00 am when Kayden stepped into his bedroom. He wasn’t expecting Eleanor to be awake yet she was. Eleanor was standing alone on the balcony and watching the plush green lawn before the house. His heart fluttered seeing her in his outfits. She looked cuter in his clothes and the next time he would wear those pants and T-shirt; it would remind him of her. Damn!! He shouldn’t have suggested that Avery give his clothes to Eleanor. But he couldn’t see her spending the night in those drenched clothes either."What a lovely mess," Kayden remarked, his voice deliberately raised to catch Eleanor's attention.She turned around, surprised to see him standing there. "I didn’t know you were waiting for me," he teased, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "Otherwise, I would have come early to bed."Eleanor rolled her eyes at his playful remark, her frustration evident in the furrow of her brow.“Why are you so mean, selfish, and full of yourself?” she asked, her tone tinged wit
Three days passed that Kayden Knight had not returned back to Shantivan. After Max’s birthday at the farm house he left for some urgent official work. Eleanor was suspicious of his absence. Though he gave work excuses to Caroline and others, Eleanor wasn’t convinced. Either he was upset over their last fight or he had got her words loud and clear. She had no plans to stick to this marriage ever and he had got that hint. So, the last two days went well for Eleanor. She enjoyed being alone in Kayden’s royal bedroom, using the entire bed to herself. She was enjoying his absence and using it to her extreme benefit. Caroline was neutral to his absence, Sebastian didn’t care either but Aurora was doubtful. She even tried to poke Eleanor and make her spill the beans but Eleanor was too strong willed to reveal anything to her. The date of the Advertisement promo on the television had finally arrived. Eleanor planned to sit in front of the TV the whole day and check how she performed in the
