Elinor smiled at the thought of her future with Thane. Having a little person between them must be a very pleasant thing to do. In fact, Elinor could imagine how cute the baby's face would be."Thane, if our child is a boy. I'm sure he'll be a very sweet boy, just like when you were little," said Elinor, who had now managed to change the look on Thane's face.Elinor didn't realize that her words would provoke a question mark in Thane's head. The woman continued to talk, even discussing Thane's previous closeness with Mike. Thane tried to keep his smile despite being reminded of his not-so-sweet past. He didn't want to share the burden of his feelings with Elinor, especially in such a blissful moment."Very likely," Thane replied lightly. "But one thing's for sure, she'll have a wonderful mother and a father who will protect her at all costs." Thane tried to remain positive and pleasant in their conversation.However, Elinor suddenly said, "Yes, Thane. Our children will definitely be
Thane wanted to spend his time today taking Elinor for a walk in the park. They wanted to relax for a while after an exhausting day of work. They left right after breakfast was over. The two of them said goodbye to Grace, then took the car driven by Mike. Both of them got into the car, and not long after, the iron vehicle drove towards the park that Thane said.The park was large and green, full of trees and blooming flowers. The fresh air and blue sky provided a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Once they arrived at the park, Thane opened the car door for Elinor gently."Let's enjoy the day, dear," Thane said, smiling at Elinor.The two of them strolled among the paths that cut through the park. They saw children playing on the playground, couples lounging on the grass, and people jogging along the path.Thane invited Elinor to sit under a shady tree that provided shade. They sat close together, feeling the breeze on their faces. Thane opened the picnic basket he'd brought, pulling out G
Thane sensed the change in Elinor's emotions after getting the message from her friend. Thane felt Elinor's anxiety, but he didn't want to force her to tell him. The anxiety was palpable as Elinor struggled with the cell phone in her hand.In the meantime, Thane decided to give Elinor some space and time to finish her business. He knew that sometimes, people needed to have their privacy, especially when facing worrying situations.Thane stepped closer to Elinor, and with great care, he said, "Honey, I'm here for you. If there's anything you want to share or talk about, I'm here to listen." Thane tried to provide support without making Elinor feel burdened."I'm okay, Thane," Elinor replied with a forced smile.Thane stroked Elinor's hair and went from there to the kitchen. Thane saw that Mia had prepared a meal for Thane and Elinor."Sir, this is food for Madame and you," Mia said as she carried a tray filled with Elinor's favorite foods.Thane reached out and said, "Give it to me. I'
A family restaurant located on one of the small streets was Elinor's destination. She sat there with a sad and agitated look on her face. Her eyes wandered several times, hoping the bodyguards would not follow her as ordered.Elinor sat in the restaurant with her mind drifting in various directions. For a moment, she tried to enjoy her meal, but her anxiety continued to haunt her. Her gaze occasionally glanced outside, searching for the presence of someone who might be following her without her knowledge.The waitress came to take the order or ask if everything was alright, but Elinor only gave a faint smile and nodded. Her mind drifted to the message she received and her decision to go alone.Not long after, the food arrived at her table, but Elinor still found it difficult to focus. Every sound around her seemed to permeate the unease she felt. She hoped that her decision to go alone was the right one and that Thane would understand.In between her thoughts, two people came to sit d
Elinor looked uncomfortable when she saw Thane's face in front of her. She felt ashamed that Thane had seen what her father was doing. Thane grabbed the chair next to Elinor and sat there. Now, they sat back down and stared at each other."Who are you? Strangers shouldn't interfere in my family matters!" Elinor's father said in a tone full of emotion because his attack on Elinor was held back."So is the woman beside you. She's been talking too much since she got here," retorted Elinor, who was now starting to peak her emotions. However, Thane took her hand and tried to calm her down.Thane didn't want anything bad and in the spotlight to happen there. He tried to restrain Elinor and signaled her to calm down. "Akung, you don't need to get angry about something trivial like this."Thane now looked at the man before him and introduced himself, "Introducing, I am Elinor's husband."The man in front of them shamelessly grew more eager to speak. He also introduced himself to Thane. "I am
The smiling face of the man who claimed to be Elinor's father was clearly displayed. The man and woman were very pleased with Thane's offer. In fact, the man said, "Alright, I'll do as you say. I will forget who Elinor is, and stay away from her life. In fact, I'll forget about her."That sentence really cut Elinor's heart and left an invisible wound. They no longer cared about Elinor's sad face. They only thought about the money Thane would give them. Both of them had planned what the money would be used for.Elinor felt a deep sense of disappointment and sadness. The words of the man who claimed to be her father and the reaction of the woman beside her made her feel humiliated and ignored. Although Elinor tried to remain calm, her heart was broken by their actions and words.Sometimes, humans can be bitter and cruel. Elinor realized that the reality was not always as beautiful as expected. While she initially hoped this meeting could open the door to reconciliation, Elinor realized
Thane and Elinor arrived at the Penthouse. They were now making their way to their rooms to rest. Before heading to his cozy place with Elinor, Thane cleaned up first. Meanwhile, Elinor headed to the kitchen to get a drink and some snacks to enjoy in the room. Elinor was sure Thane would not immediately ask her to sleep with her. So, she wanted something to eat while they talked to make the atmosphere more relaxed.Elinor happily grabbed some drinks and light snacks from the kitchen, thinking a relaxed and warm atmosphere could be created as they talked in the room. She selected some fruits and snacks Thane liked and brought his favorite drink.Meanwhile, Thane was in the bathroom, letting the warm running water soothe him after an eventful day. He mused momentarily about the day's events, hoping his decision would bring peace to Elinor and himself.After finishing cleaning up, Thane put on some comfortable nightwear and stepped out of the shower. He saw Elinor already preparing with
Grace's footsteps sounded loud. She was running like she was being chased by something. She was breathing heavily, sweat soaking her face and body. In front of her was a huge full moon. Grace continued to run, each step heavy and carried by the persistence to get away from something that seemed threatening. The full moon gave her an inescapable illumination, creating shadows stretching along her path.The roar of breathing and the sound of footsteps echoed around, creating tension in what should have been a quiet night. Grace looked up at the sky and saw a large full moon that casts a bright light, creating strange shadows around her.Relentlessly, she stepped faster, her heart racing. There was no sign of what might be chasing her, but fear continued to haunt her. She tried to remember which direction to take, seeking shelter.While the full moon watched her every step, the darkness of the night held her tight. Suddenly, Grace heard a baby crying and opened her eyes wide.Sweat floo
