There was another knock on the door outside, which made me very scared. Why was Lawrence coming to see me again? Wasn't what he had done to me in the park enough? I heard him stand at the door and call out to me, "Eleanor."I was so scared that I hid my body behind the curtain, but I noticed that Lawrence's voice seemed much softer now. It was no longer the same vicious, hateful anger that had torn me apart.I carefully got up and walked behind the door to my room, suppressing my apprehension and telling him, "I want to sleep." I tried to sound weak and tired.The energy of a werewolf was different from an ordinary human, and I almost thought I was going to die by Lawrence in the park. At that moment, my body was in so much pain that I couldn't lift a bit of strength.Lawrence stood at the door and said, "Tomorrow you shouldn't go to work, rest at home for a day. I have asked for leave for you."When I heard this, I started questioning in my heart, 'Why did Lawrence ask for leave for
Eleanor's POVThe next day, Lawrence left for work early because his company in the Vatican was just established. There was a lot of work he needed to take care of. However, I couldn't come to work because I was still injured, so he decided to let me rest at home.I sat on the couch in the living room, and although I had stayed over one night, I was still scared. I wasn't sure if Lawrence would ever do that to me again. Yet, my gut told me that werewolves were scary, and that wasn't something I should go near as a human. So, I had to get out of here as soon as possible, to get away from Lawrence forever. I wanted to kill him, but that plan obviously wouldn't work, and I had to think of other ideas.When Lawrence threatened to marry me with the video of us in the underground parking lot, I had no choice but to marry him. So, maybe I could find the video and destroy it at the moment. Therefore, Lawrence would never be able to force me again. That day might be a good opportunity since I
Eleanor's POV.I walked down the stairs and into the living room of the cottage. Then I saw that a breakfast he had bought for me was on the dining table. Lawrence didn't seem to know my tastes, so he had brought a lot of breakfast with all kinds of dishes. Yet, I didn't have much of an appetite. This was ridiculous. Last night, he went crazy and hurt me. Then the next morning, he suddenly put on a gentlemanly look to care for me.I sat down at the table and just poured myself a glass of water, it was confusing. At that moment, there was a familiar shout from outside, "Excuse me, does Eleanor live here?"I frowned, recognizing it as Harley's voice. Oh my, why would he come looking for me? To be more precise, how did he know I lived here? When I walked out of the room, Harley was already in the garden, looking towards the inside of the cottage. When he saw me coming out, Harley looked very happy. "Eleanor, do you really live here? Great!"I didn't understand, and at the same time, I w
Eleanor's POVI took Lawrence to the hospital. His injuries were so severe that the doctor said he needed surgery.Then, I stood in the hospital corridor, waiting for Lawrence to come out with trembling fingers.My clothes were stained with Lawrence's blood, which seemed to carry his scent. Surprisingly, at such a time, it could give me some comfort.'Is Lawrence going to die? I don't think so.'I had heard Madison once said that werewolves were very strong and had the ability to heal themselves. Harley had not attacked his vitals.However, I could see that Lawrence's wound was very deep. Even though he was a werewolf, he still needed to be hospitalized for a few days to recover. By the look of him now, he should be in great pain.I didn't know how things got to this point, but at the same time, I noticed a problem- It seemed that I worried more about Lawrence's well-being now than just letting him die.Why was that? Could it be that I didn't hate him anymore and even wanted nothing b
Eleanor's POVLawrence's hug made me feel scared. The scent of his body instinctively reminded me of every time I came in contact with him. Those unpleasant, humiliating past had turned into my nightmare.I shivered all over and pleaded to him, "Let go, Lawrence."I tried to push Lawrence away, but he didn't let go and continued to hold me. He seemed to crave the smell of my body and kept kissing me as he embraced me. It reminded me of the memory in the park as if the next moment, Lawrence was going to hold me down in some hidden place, and he would violate me again.I continued to push his hand. "No, don't touch me.""Lawrence, please, it hurts."He sensed my fear. He hesitated for a moment and finally let go of me. Then, I turned to look at him and met Lawrence's eyes.Lawrence frowned as he reached out to touch my face. "Eleanor, are you crying?"I instinctively took a step back while staring at Lawrence with the same fear in my eyes. Lawrence held my face as he lowered his head an
I tried to leave when I saw Lawrence had woken up, but he stopped me. Calmly, he spoke, "You are my wife in the legal sense. Now that I am injured and hospitalized, you should take care of me."Lawrence was seriously injured this time. Even if he was a werewolf, he needed to recover with the help of medical treatment, and needed to be hospitalized for a few days. Yet, spending time with Lawrence did not seem very convenient. After all, Logan and Stella might appear in the hospital. If they saw me, that would be a big problem.Lawrence noticed my concern and told me, "Don't worry, Stella doesn't know I'm hurt."I could see that Lawrence loved Stella so much that he refused to see her get hurt. However, did he really not tell Stella anything about his injury? To be honest, I was envious of Stella for having a brother who would do anything for her. On the other hand, I only had myself. Even if I was humiliated, threatened, and stayed with a temperamental man every day, I could only rely
While I was taking care of Lawrence in the hospital, Stella's arrival broke all the peace. I didn't expect that she already knew about Lawrence's injury and was planning to come to visit Lawrence in the hospital. At that time, I was standing at the ward door with food prepared for Lawrence and heard Stella's voice. I felt scared instantly, and I couldn't imagine how Stella would react if she knew that I was with Lawrence. So, I hid in the empty ward next door, and the moment I walked into the room, I saw Logan coming down the hallway. He must've come to visit Lawrence too.In the next ward, I heard Stella's worried voice, "How did you get hurt? If Logan hadn't accompanied me to the hospital for a medical checkup and seen you here, were you planning to hide this from me?"Lawrence replied, "Don't worry, a homeless man just attacked me on my way home from work."Stella sounded shocked and scared, "Oh my God, did you call the police? Did you catch the man who attacked you?"Lawrence said
Eleanor's POVAfter three more days in the hospital, the doctor was sure that Lawrence's health was in order.I was still packing up Lawrence's things from the hospital, some changes of clothes and medications prescribed by the doctor, and so on. I heard a message notification sound from my cell phone in the middle of that.No Name: [Eleanor, where are you now?]I clicked on my phone to check it, and the number on it had no notes, but I knew that it was Logan's new number. To keep Lawrence and Stella from knowing that he had contacted me secretly, he had changed his number and used it to send me messages.When I didn't reply, Logan looked a little anxious and texted me again.Logan: [Eleanor, please don't ignore me. I'm worried about you right now. Are you with Lawrence? When I was visiting Lawrence in the hospital, I heard the nurse say that he had a wife. That's so strange.]Logan: [Please tell me that the wife is not you.]I knew what happened in the hospital yesterday had aroused
