PARISHe grips the glass of brandy in his fist, as his assistant reads the newspaper, revealing the front-page update about the Elder Knight’s Engagement with the Governor’s daughter. This is not what he expected to happen at his back. Is that why this entire holiday trip was planned for them? So that he and his wife don't intrude in the decisions of this alliance? Huh!! He should have guessed that beforehand. Without a reason, that old matriarch of the family, Caroline Knight, had never been so kind to them. She must have sensed his plans and hence convinced her grandson for this association, in such a haste. She even chose to declare it to the media before her own family members!! Now he has to shuffle everything again, right from devising another way to fulfil his objectives. He won’t back down so easily.A woman draped in a satin nightgown entered the room, her expression a mix of disappointment and frustration. "You heard the news?" she exclaimed, sinking onto the couch beside h

WATSON MANSION When Eleanor returned home, she was greeted by a bustling scene in the living room. A swarm of 10 to 15 people filled the space, each busy with various decorations and arrangements under the direction of her father. Eleanor couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the sudden chaos that had taken over her once peaceful abode."The bride comes," someone chirped from across the room, drawing attention to Eleanor's entrance. A tall, young girl with a vibrant energy rushed over to her, her attire flaunting her bare legs in a tight frock. "Hello, Miss Watson," she exclaimed, extending her hand for Eleanor to shake. "I'm Laura, your wedding planner."Eleanor's eyebrows shot up in surprise. A wedding planner? She couldn't believe her ears. What need did she have for a wedding planner when she had no desire to get married in the first place?"Dad," Eleanor groaned, turning to her father with a mix of frustration and confusion. "What is all this?"But before her father could respond

As Eleanor's hunger pangs intensified, she couldn't help but voice her complaint to her mother, Rose. The restrictions imposed by Knight traditions left her feeling frustrated and famished, her stomach growling in protest at the enforced fast."Mumma, I am very hungry," she lamented, her tone tinged with irritation. "I don’t understand why I cannot have lunch?"Rose sighed in sympathy, her heart aching for her daughter's discomfort. "The Knights' traditions, Eleanor," she explained, her voice tinged with resignation. "The would-be bride has to fast on the day of her engagement and marriage. Caroline Knight had strictly called me to ensure this was followed. And you know I would have still let you eat something, but Laura’s eyes are always on us."Eleanor nodded in understanding, though her frustration simmered beneath the surface. "I know," she sighed, her stomach rumbling in protest. "But I can eat fruits, can’t I?"Rose smiled at her daughter's pragmatic approach, grateful for her un

ENGAGEMENT DAY Aurora contained her frustration as she discreetly observed the lavish event, where the charismatic Kayden Knight and his elegant fiancée Eleanor Watson posed gracefully for pictures amidst the opulent surroundings."Careful, my queen," cautioned Sebastian with a hint of concern. "You're not supposed to envy them. We're family, remember?"Aurora, clad in an exquisite gown, gracefully raised her glass of sparkling liquid to her lips, taking a sip to mask the subtle turmoil beneath her composed exterior. Her eyes, however, remained fixated on the newly engaged couple, their smiles radiant and their connection seemingly effortless."I must say, they have a nice chemistry," she murmured, her voice barely audible above the ambient chatter of the celebration.Sebastian, bewildered by her response, followed her gaze to the couple, attempting to decipher the subtle nuances of their interactions. The dance of glances between Kayden and Eleanor hinted at a deeper connection, one
Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 13. Questioning him
As Eleanor gradually emerged from the depths of unconsciousness, a throbbing ache reverberated through her head, a sensation that felt as though her skull might shatter if she didn't tend to it. The disorienting haze began to dissipate as her mother's voice, a comforting presence, reached her ears."Eleanor… thank God you are fine," Rose's words enveloped her, instilling a sense of security even before Eleanor could muster the strength to open her eyes. With a groan, Eleanor sat up on the bed, her hand instinctively reaching to massage her throbbing forehead."Damn, it hurts," she muttered, the pain accentuating the disconcerting fog in her mind. Rose, ever attentive, offered her daughter a concoction, and Eleanor, without hesitation, gulped it down in one go. As the liquid flowed down her throat, a sudden recollection flashed in her mind – the cranberry juice, a potential culprit in her sudden unconsciousness.Setting the glass aside, Eleanor pieced together the fragments of the prev

"Where is your ring?" His voice cut through the air, a sharp inquiry that seemed to carry more weight than the question itself. The room, with its muted tones and elegant decor, became a silent witness to the unfolding tension.She instinctively moved her hand to the back, a reflexive attempt to shield herself from the intensity of his gaze. How had he noticed she wasn't wearing their engagement ring? Did the absence of that small band truly make a difference? To her, it didn't, but the significance seemed amplified in his eyes."I forgot to wear it. What’s your problem?" she retorted, her response tinged with a touch of defiance. The room, adorned with framed memories and tasteful furnishings, held its breath, anticipating the exchange that unfolded."You took it off, that’s my problem," he snapped, his tone edged with a bitterness that hung in the air. The atmosphere in the room, once filled with the hum of subtle conversations, now crackled with an undercurrent of tension.His behav
