Eleanor sat frozen in place as everyone at the table turned their sharp gazes towards her, waiting for an answer. What was she supposed to say? She knew it would cause a fit.

She felt like disappearing into thin air.

Just then, Carlos strolled into the mansion, his hands tucked in his pocket as he passed by the dining table. While Carlos couldn’t care less about his ban from dinners, Marcus was trying his absolute best to return to their grandfather’s good side.

“I said, ‘Where is Elijah?” Mr. Stone’s voice rang once more. Eleanor began to fiddle with her hands as her lips parted, she was struggling to get the words out.

Carlos, who was now on the staircase, stopped in his tracks, slightly glancing over his shoulder. His voice broke the silence. “He left. He’s in London.”

Carlos said flatly, continuing his climb as though he hadn’t just dropped a bomb in the middle of the room.

The reaction was immediate.

“What?!” Said Mr. Stone and Uncle Marcus, their shocked and angry voices overl

    “So, what you’re saying is, you think Liam intentionally told you about the heart?” Ried asked again, leaning forward slightly, his brown eyes on Marylin’s sage green ones.Marylin nodded, her hands folded into each other on her lap. Her eyes were showing certainty. “That’s what I believe. Liam is never careless. He wanted me to know.”Zayden, who had been sitting silently with his head looking down in thought, finally raised his eyes, his expression unusually serious. His voice was calm as he spoke. “She’s right, Liam is calculated. Everything he says and does is deliberate. It’s how he was raised. His dad drilled that into him.”Ried adjusted his sitting position, now sitting a bit straighter. “Alright, let’s say he did this on purpose. Why would he expose his own father?” He asked.“That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out,” Marylin said, shaking her head as she turned her gaze towards Zayden.Zayden stood up, stepping a few feet as he thought about the situation over a

    The next day arrived too quickly for Eleanor. She was currently in her room in the guesthouse, staring at her packed bag, which held her essentials. Her grandfather had told her yesterday to move back into the main mansion. It wasn’t a suggestion, it was an order.Eleanor zipped up the medium-sized bag. Most of her clothes were already in the main mansion, so it was unnecessary for her to pack up the ones in the guesthouse.She hung her bag on her shoulder and looked at her room one last time before turning off the light. It was weird why it felt like she was closing a chapter as she turned off the lights.She walked into the kitchen, ensuring to turn off every appliance before also turning off the light and heading into the living room.For some reason, the living room felt hard to leave. “I’m going to miss the peace of this place.” She muttered to herself, knowing she was about to return to the chaos of the main mansion.She was going to miss the guesthouse, but was it really the g

    “Liam?” Eleanor said, her tone surprised and her eyes slightly widened. No wonder the car looked awfully familiar, she had seen it countless times at the Stone mansion.Liam’s signature smile was in place as he nodded, “Need a ride?” he asked casually, though there was a bit of amusement in his tone. When Carlos had told him that Eleanor’s cards were cut off and her car was taken, he didn’t think it would last.Yet, here she was, walking.Eleanor hesitated for a second. She's never really been close to Liam, though Liam had a strong relationship with all of the Stone family members, she and him had never really talked much.Liam noticed Eleanor’s hesitation and chuckled lightly, shaking his head. His earlier sour mood now evaporating. “It’s really no trouble. I was on my way to the Stone mansion to see Carlos.” He reassured.Eleanor nodded, in all honesty, it was better than standing under the bus stop in the cold and waiting for the rain to eventually die down.“Alright, thank you.”

    “Revenge?” Marylin asked, her voice low as she looked at both Ried and Zayden in utter confusion. She was confused, revenge… Why would Liam seek revenge against his own father?Ried nodded with a sigh as he crossed his arms against his chest. “Yes. Revenge, for his mother.”Tired words made Marylin’s brows furrow, his statement threw her off, and she turned her questioning gaze towards Zayden. Liam’s mother died when he was thirteen… What revenge could he possibly be seeking after fifteen long years?Zayden took a seat on the grey armchair. “Liam’s mother, Rosaline. She’s never had it easy in life, especially her time with James… Every day was a new kind of torture and torment, she went through both emotional and physical abuse at the hands of James.” Zayden said, his tone a bit lower as if talking about it felt heavy to him.Marylin’s heart dropped a beat, and her eyes widened. “What? Are you serious?” She whispered in disbelief. Why hasn’t she ever heard of this before… Liam has nev

    It had been three hours since Elijah met his grandfather, Alexander, yet it felt like only minutes had passed. There was no tension, no awkward silences. Just stories and laughter.Both men now sat in the cosy sitting area of Alexander’s room, sipping whisky as their conversations flowed. Silence settled for a while before Alexander broke the silence with a clearing of his throat. “Your parents,” Alexander began, his voice soft as he put down his glass of whisky, “were the most beautiful couple. Loving, kind, and incredibly understanding of one another.”Elijah’s heart tightened at the words. His parents. His biological parents. For some reason, the mention of them made different emotions rise. Alexander leaned forward and opened a drawer of the coffee table, he pulled out a photo album, handing it over to Elijah. “Here.”Elijah accepted the album, his hands steady, a contrast to the tumble in his heart. When he opened the first page, he froze. There, staring back at him, a photogr

His days passed positively, only gaining more knowledge about who he truly was and who his parents were.He kept in contact with Alfred, who was running the New York branch in the meantime.Aunt Heather and Alexander made sure they cracked their memories in order to remember everything. And vice versa, Elijah also told them about his life back in New York, up to the point when he got married to Eleanor, then up to now. And it seemed Alexander was incredibly fond of his granddaughter-in-law, who he’s never even met.He had gotten even closer than he already was to his grandfather, and he had formed a bond with Aunt Heather.For some reason, Aunt Heather reminds him of Esther, maybe it was her comforting presence, or her warm smile, or how her eyes glistened when she laughed, or maybe it was how animated she was.Alexander had Elijah following him into work every single day in the n

This wasn’t the same Elijah who had stepped off the plane months ago. This man was different. This was the grandson of Alexander Windsor, the heir to one of the most powerful conglomerates in the world. He now held 50% of the Windsor conglomerate’s shares in his name. His grandfather had taught him everything, the kind of training that couldn’t be bought or learnt from books.Elijah remembered the exact moment his grandfather handed over those shares. “When I leave this world, these will be yours completely,” Alexander had said with pride in his eyes. “By then, I hope I’ll have a great-grandchild to carry the legacy forward.”Elijah was too surprised at the time, h
