Chapter 158 - I Am Sorry, Love. I Will Behave From Now On. (1/2)

Ch-157

”I am tired… you may leave,” Eleanor said as she tried to sleep again.

”Eleanor….,” he called out.

”Please… my body cannot handle the stress anymore,” she said.

Why can't she listen to him once? He wanted to know why the hell she wanted to postpone their marriage. But why wasn't she giving him a chance to talk. He knew he was wrong for doing that to her. He wanted to say sorry to her, but his sudden idea about the AshBrooke's family made him unable to say it to her. But she was fine and he was glad she did.

Cedric failed to notice the change of his behaviour. He failed to notice that… he was acting as if he didn't care about her.

Eleanor knew if the topic was brought up, they would end up in a heated argument. And she has no energy to do that. There was already a crack in their relationship, and the discussion about this matter would only worsen things. Eleanor wanted to talk to him about this but not in this way. She wanted to have a heart to heart talk with him. Right now… he was looking angry which was scaring her. She just wanted to stay away from him for now and talk to him when he was cool. But… things weren't going the way she thought.

”Eleanor! I am not asking you to talk! You will listen to me here whether you are willing or not!” he says yelling at her.

His yell makes her flinch. She subconsciously moved back, hugging herself at his sight and tone.

”You agree or disagree… we will get married. That too whenever I say not when you say. You got that!?” he asked her, moving towards her. His tall frame hovered over her body making her flinch at their closeness. For the first time, she was really scared of Cedric. Now she understood why everyone under Cedric was scared. He was a monster. Tears streamed out of her eyes. Can't she even have an opinion? Now she realized why Valene was against their marriage. She wondered what would have happened if Martin was awake. If he was with her, then he would have been protecting her just like before. She missed him. The thought of Martin made her cry even more.

Cedric was stunned at her tears. He didn't expect she would cry all along. Suddenly he realized he wanted to ask the reason for the marriage postponing. But he ended up warning her. He felt angry at himself.

Slamming the door, he went outside her room. Eleanor cried by herself before slipping into sleep.

Cedric wanted to punch himself for being a dick. He saw her office was neat and clean. There were papers which needed to be done on her table. He felt he needed a distraction, if not he would end up doing something stupid to Eleanor. Walking ahead, he started doing Eleanor's work. Cedric doesn't know how long he worked, but all he knew was he finished seventy percent of paperwork. He wrote notes for her and summed it up for her in short notes for her to read and sign.

After he was done with seventy percent of work, he removed his coat and walked inside the room. He saw her sleeping in an uncomfortable position. His chest tightened at her sight.

This was the woman he loved with his life. But how could he do this to her? She just asked for one month of time before marriage, not cancelling it. But what did he do? He screwed it up. And also… he fucked her forcefully even when she said no and made her experience the things which no woman wanted to experience. Removing his tie and the first two buttons of his shirt, he joined her in the bed. He made her sleep in a comfortable position. Unknowingly, Eleanor snaked her around his torso and placed her head on his chest. Cedric smiled at her. Even in her sleep she was still so comfortable with him.

He was such a dick that he made her cry and was uncomfortable. He saw fear in her eyes when he came closer to her earlier. He wanted to punch him badly. Cedric wanted to apologize to her. He decided to do something romantic to seek her forgiveness. Cedric owed not to touch her till she gave him permission. After some time, he crafted a perfect plan to apologize to her. He felt everything being settled in his chest, not knowing the storms that would attack them tomorrow. Peacefully, he slept in with her being in her arms.

Next day, Cedric woke up when Eleanor was still asleep. He could sense that her body was really weak. He called his personal doctor and asked for a diet. After hanging the call, he walked into her office. He took a few blank papers and wrote something on it. He pasted it on all sides of her bedroom, while trying to keep his silence. Cedric tried to not make a single sound.
