KNIGHT MANSION Sebastian and Aurora were seated comfortably on the plush couch in their spacious living room, engaged in a hushed conversation. The room exuded an air of sophistication, adorned with tasteful décor and soft ambient lighting.As they discussed matters privately, the sound of footsteps interrupted their exchange. The maid, a discreet presence in the household, approached them with a sense of deference."Ma’am, the girl has come," she announced softly, her voice barely audible in the elegant surroundings.Aurora, poised and composed, acknowledged the maid's message with a nod. "Make her sit outside. I will come and brief her," she instructed, her tone carrying an air of authority.With a respectful bow, the maid retreated, leaving the couple to resume their conversation.Sebastian, a picture of refinement in his tailored suit, furrowed his brow in confusion. "Girl?" he questioned, directing his gaze towards his wife.Aurora, radiating an aura of sophistication, explained

KNIGHT MANSION Aurora Knight welcomed the couple half-heartedly. She had no joy on her face seeing Kayden and Eleanor return in fact she had loads of doubts why they were so distanced from each other. When the Knight car parked at the portico, Kayden had got down first and whilst he waited for Eleanor to get down too, so that they could walk together, she chose not even to look at him and hurried inside. It was only after a few seconds and strides that he matched her speed and reached the entrance door at the same time. He stole her glances at regular intervals but Eleanor didn’t even care to check him once. Aurora had watched all of this very carefully and realised something was fishy.Aurora's interruption sliced through the conversation like a sharp blade. "You look pale," she observed, concern etched across her features. "Were you unwell?"Eleanor hesitated, her mind scrambling for an excuse to deflect Aurora's inquiry. She couldn't bear the thought of disclosing her recent pan

Max was sceptical initially why Kayden called him to meet so suddenly in the mansions. And since Avery was invited by Eleanor to meet, the couple came together and met their respective friends in different rooms. Eleanor was in the bedroom with Avery whereas Kayden and Max were in the backyard garden."Oh," Max sighed, his tone heavy with resignation as he leaned back in his chair. "So, she's given you the ultimatum. Typical Eleanor move. I warned you, Kayden. She's not one to take things lightly, especially not after you meddled with her career."Kayden bristled at Max's words, his jaw tightening with frustration. "I rectified the situation," he retorted sharply. "She regained all her contracts and yet she's still unwilling to stay."Max arched an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing at the corners of his lips. "You merely gave her back what was rightfully hers to begin with," he remarked wryly. "If you hadn't tampered with her career in the first place, perhaps she wouldn't be contempla
Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 58. Doubting her
KNIGHT MANSION Property discussion ended and Eleanor was the first one to leave the room. Whatever terms Kayden had mentioned at the end was above her head. Needless to say, she didn’t need his money. Only because she was his wife didn’t mean she should inherit his 50% of property and assets. But arguing with him now was baseless. She decided to talk to him and force him to discard her name from that agreement later. When she came out, she almost bumped with Jane Doe who was equally stunned for almost being caught eavesdropping.The atmosphere in the room tensed as Eleanor's gaze pierced through Jane Doe's veil of hair. "Sorry... Your highness..." Jane murmured, bowing deeply.Eleanor, though not one for unnecessary formality, couldn't shake the feeling that this maid was different from the usual household staff. "You... you're the new caretaker for grandma, aren't you?" she inquired, studying Jane intently.Jane nodded solemnly, confirming Eleanor's suspicion. "Yes, your highness."

CHRISTMASThe sun rose earlier than usual even though it's winter at this moment. Eleanor woke up alone on the bed. 2 days had passed finally and today she had plans to leave the house, this family and her over expecting husband who was missing in the room right now.She showered and wearing a simple yellow-white combination dress she came out of her room checking messages on her phone. She had plenty of Happy Christmas wishes from her friends, well wishers and fans. It was hard to greet them back individually hence she posted a common wish on her social profile and locked her phone screen again as she neared the living room."Mumma?" Eleanor's voice broke the conversation between Caroline Knight and Rose as she entered the Knight Mansion, surprised to see her mother there.Rose turned her attention to her daughter, a warm smile spreading across her face. "Eleanor!" she exclaimed, rising from the couch to envelop her daughter in a hug. "Happy Christmas."Returning the hug, Eleanor rec

15 MINUTES TO NOON“I want to play too.. apply the color on you… mumma and… maybe even Aurora” Eleanor told Avery.As laughter echoed through the garden area of Knight Mansion, vibrant colors danced in the air, carried by the playful splashes of water. It was a scene of joy and camaraderie as friends gathered to celebrate amidst the lush greenery and blooming flowers.Eleanor's eyes sparkled with excitement as she watched the festivities unfold. She longed to join in, to immerse herself in the colorful chaos and feel the cool water against her skin. Turning to Avery with a mischievous grin, she expressed her desire to partake in the playful revelry."But you can't... not until Kayden colors you first," Avery gently reminded her, his voice tinged with amusement.Eleanor's smile faltered slightly as she considered Kayden's likely response. With her impending departure looming over their heads, she couldn't shake the feeling that he had more pressing matters to attend to than indulging i

As Adam took the wine glass from Sebastian and gulped some, the atmosphere in the room shifted subtly, tension simmering just beneath the surface. Sebastian's expression remained unreadable as he watched Adam, his thoughts veiled behind a mask of indifference."I hope you remember our deal, Sebastian," Adam muttered, his voice low and tinged with a hint of urgency.Sebastian's brow furrowed in confusion. "Deal?" he repeated, feigning ignorance.But Adam wasn't fooled by Sebastian's facade. He knew that beneath the veneer of nonchalance lay a cunning mind, always calculating and scheming."Oh, come on. Don't play games with me," Adam retorted, his patience wearing thin. "I'm talking about me becoming the state CM."Sebastian's lips curled into a mocking smile, his amusement evident in the glint of his eyes. "What can I do about it?" he taunted, his tone dripping with sarcasm.The dismissive attitude grated on Adam's nerves, fueling the fire of his frustration. With a swift movement, he
Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 62. Phone call
Sebastian returned back to his wife, Aurora, eager to spend some quality time with her after being away for a couple of hours. As he entered their cozy living room, he found her engrossed in a lively conversation over the phone. Her animated gestures and furrowed brows indicated that she was in the midst of a serious discussion."I am very upset with you, Paapa," she scolded, her voice tinged with disappointment. "How could you miss Christmas with me?"Sebastian approached her quietly, his heart sinking at the realization of his mistake. He circled his arms around his wife's waist, attempting to offer comfort as she continued to talk on the phone."What urgent work could possibly keep you away on Christmas?" Aurora's tone softened slightly, a hint of sadness creeping into her words. "You've barely been in town for the past two days. I've missed you terribly. What's been keeping you so busy?"Sebastian sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of guilt for neglecting his wife during such a speci
