Eleanor Valdez's POV

^^^ Elijah's Living room.

If silence was deadly...

Call this the end of the world.

Adeline and Matéo are sat across from Elijah and I.

"What is this about, Elijah?" Adeline asks.

But she isn't looking at him.

She is glaring at me and I'm avoiding all eye contact with her at all costs.

How do I know she is staring at me, could one ask.

She's burning a hole into my skull with her eye.

I need to calm down.

She won't kill me right away.

That gives me 24 hours to plan an escape.

Only there is no escape, because I'm getting married to her older brother.

Then reality fully punches me, square in the nose.

I am beyond fucked!

"Eleanor!" Elijah yells, snapping me out of my daze.

I turn sharply to him.

"Huh?" I ask stupidly.

Adeline snorts.

"You've really done it this time, Elijah. Come on marriage?! Are you sure you're ready?" She asks.

"Furthermore, she tried to kill you, you incompetent bastard!" She yells at him.

Her words cut me deep and it must show on my face, because her scowl deepens.

"Fix your face, before I rearrange it my damn self!" she snaps.

I turn away.

"Ade, that's enough!" Elijah tells her.

I stare at him in shock.

Adeline stares at him also.

I see her grip on Matéo's hand tighten a little, but he doesn't flinch.

He just holds her close, to avoid her jumping like an uncoiled spring.

"I know we have our differences, but Eleanor is not only the mother of our child, but my fiancée and I expect some respect at least" he reminds her calmly.

My heart skips as he mentions our child.

Adeline nods and then turns to look at me again.

"I apologise for what I said, but I do not and will not apologise for getting angry or beating the s!it out of you at all. You were my friend and you lied to me." She says, calmly, her face neutral.

I nod and hang my head in shame.

She is right.

I betrayed a lot of people's trust and I feel awful.

I look up to see her take a look out of the window.

"It's late, I've got to be going to bed" she says.

She turns to face Matéo.

"Let's go" She says and he nods.

"Good night Elijah, Eleanor" he tells us and Adeline takes his hand, leading him to the guest room.

Elijah says nothing, but gets up and walks off in the direction of his room.

I sigh and collect my thoughts.

So, she didn't kill me...

And Elijah actually stood up for me!

"What a mess" I say to my self quietly.

I run my hand over my small baby bump.

"What are we going to do, huh?" I ask my unborn baby.

I feel a slight kick and I smile.

"Yeah, me neither" I tell him.

I get up and go to go to one of the guest rooms.

I walk past Adeline's room and hear light snoring.

Jet lag.

I go into my room and then untie my hair from its bun and then get changed into some sleep wear.

It is a blue silk nightgown that shows my bump a little.

I sit down and brush my hair out, when I remember.

I didn't even thank Elijah for sticking up for me.

I tie up my hair, get up and walk quietly to Elijah's room.

The door is ajar.

I step through and see him near his bed.

^^ Elijah's room.

I just stand there for a minute and admire him.

He really is a beautiful man.

He stands, back to me and all of his muscles just seem to ripple through his body, but not too much.

His jeans are hung loosely over his hips, defining his lower back muscles.

"Elijah" I manage to whisper.

He turns to face me quickly and his eyes flicker over my body and then back to my face.

"Yes?" He asks.

I muster some courage and walk up to him, closing the door behind me.

"Thank you for sticking up for me earlier" I say, standing in front of him, hands behind my back.

He nods.

"No, problem" He says and he turns back to his bed. 

I catch sight of his bed and see a travel bag full of clothes.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"Me and Matéo have got business to clear up tomorrow" he tells me.

I nod, but then clock it.

"You're leaving me with your sister?!" I ask.

He turns back to face me, eyes blazing a little.

"You got a problem with that?" He asks.

"No!" I squeak.

I see something glint in his eyes.

He walks towards me and I step back.

"Am I making you nervous?" He asks me and I shake my head, no.

He walks towards me and I step backwards.

"No?" He asks.

His voice is low and makes me heart flip.

I nod, but I don't speak.

By the time I realise, my back is up against the door.

He puts his hand above my head, on the doorframe.

"Are you lying to me, Eleanor?" He asks.

I begin to shake my head, no but then sigh and nod.

He chuckles deeply.

"You know, for a trained assassin, you're an awful liar" he growls in my ear.

I say nothing.

He kisses my ear and then my neck.

"But you did a pretty good job, fooling me" He says, sucking my neck gently.

I whimper.

"You made me believe that you loved me" He says, grabbing my wrists and pinning them at my side.

"Elijah..." I start, but he shushes me gently.

He dropped my arms slowly and holds my waist.

"I'm not done speaking" he says and I nod.

"I found you after 8 years and it was everything I wanted" He says.

His hands traveled underneath my nightgown and to my thighs and he rubs them gently, almost massaging me.

"You were the best thing that happened to me" He says, letting his hands, travel up.

He knows I sleep without underwear and he is using that to his advantage...

"You made me fall in love again.." he says.

I gasp as his hands reach my cat and he knows she's happy to see him.

He knows how badly I want him.

"But then you hurt me again" he says.

He teases the entrance slightly.

I want to tell him to stop, but I can't.

I only want more.

"Does that feel good?" He asks, rubbing me gently.

I nod.

"Say it" He growls.

"It feels good, Elijah" I whisper.

"You seem frustrated?" he says, suddenly slipping a finger inside of me.

I suddenly slap my hand over my mouth to conceal a loud moan.

"Hm, I asked you a question, Eleanor" he whispered in my ear, teasing me with slow but rough circles.

"I am" I admit and I can feel his slight smirk.

"Good" he tells me.

He stops and removes his hand, just as I'm about to come.

I bite my lip to stop me from yelling out in frustration.

I was so close!

He holds is fingers to his lips and tastes me, looking straight into my face as he does so.

"You taste good" he tells me with a smirk.

I just stare at him, open mouthed.

"When you walk out, close the door behind you" he says, turning back to his travel bag.

I nod and get out of the room as quickly as possible.

I go back to my room and shut the door, behind me.

I sigh and wait for my heart rate to slow down.

So, he wants to play with me like that...

No problem.

***

It's the morning.

I get out of bed and go into my bathroom.

I do my morning routine and then walk into the kitchen.

Adeline sits at the breakfast bar eating.

She looks at her phone, not noticing me.

"Good morning" I say.

She looks up.

"Elijah and Matéo will be back tomorrow afternoon" she says.

"Your food is in the microwave" she tells me.

I nod.

"Thank you" I say.

She nods and continues to eat.

I grab my plate and sit opposite her.

She has a lot of food on her plate.

I know she eats a lot, but this is more than usual.

I eat my food slowly.

By the time, I realise, she gets up and she is up for seconds.

She ploughs through that and then suddenly stops.

Some colour drains out of her face.

She gets up and sprints in the direction of the bathroom.

I sigh and get up, waddling after her.

I walk into the bathroom and see her kneeling over the toilet throwing up.

I hold her hair back and she continues to throw up.

When she is done, I give her some space.

I go into the top cupboard and grab out a small box.

I give it to her and she looks at me suspiciously, before she takes it.

"I'm not pregnant" she says with a scowl.

"Only one way to find out" I respond calmly.

She rolls her eyes.

"Ok, get out so I can check" she mumbles and I do as she asks.

Here goes nothing.
