Forced Into Marriage ✓

Chapter 7

Eleanor's POV

The sun's rays shone obliquely into the bedroom window. I had just woken up from a peaceful slumber. Glancing at the bedside clock,a small gasp left my mouth.

14:23pm.

How could I have slept that long?

By the time my routine was almost finished,I got dressed into faded light blue denim jeans, followed by an oversized creamy jersey. A pair of white sneakers covered my feet.

Last night's little scenario replayed in my head and my lips tilted into a wide smile.

Your feelings are strong for him.

For some reason, I craved more of his gentle touching and kissing. The way it exited me and how addictively he invaded all my senses in that moment.

A cellphone started to ring, and that coming from the bedroom. It was Theo's iPhone on the table,which he forgot to take with him to work. I remember Andrea having one just like that.

Looking at the caller ID,my brows furrowed lightly.
Then I answered.
"Andrea,hi."

I heard her gasp."Elly bear." She said in a calmly smiling voice.

"Theo left his phone at home,were you looking for him?" I asked while heading to the kitchen.

"No but you're here now so I don't have to give him a message for you." She said.

"Okay. So what's up?"

"Nathan wants me to move in with him and I agreed."

"Move in?" I blinked my astonishment.

"I can't wait to get married to him,I'm so excited. He's such a gentleman. By the by,you should know that you're going to be maid of honour for my wedding. Your hubby is the best man and..."

"Wait,slow down." I cut her off. "Are you sure you want to marry Nathan? How long have you two known each other?"

"We're in love." She points out. "I'll do just about anything for him. Anything."

I sighed. "When are you moving in exactly? "

"Well I'm packing my bags right now. Hell girl,I'm sick of being her. I just can't anymore." Her voice began to shake.

"Mom and dad will find out about this somehow. And when they do,what do you thinks gonna happen?"

I could tell by her silence  for a few minutes that she was a little disappointed. I'm just more concerned about her right now.

"I don't give a damn about what they think. Stop being so negative,I've got a plan." She clears her throat. "Listen,why don't you come over and we can talk."

"Good idea."

I slowed down Theo's Audi car as the black gate of the house came into sight. One could say it's been a month of Sunday's since I stayed here. And to be honest,I really don't want to be here. If I enter this house now, it would be only as a guest.

Climbing out of the vehicle,I walked towards the house. Knocking on the thick wooden door,I suddenly heard loud screams. And that coming from a female.

It can only be Andrea.

That's when I roughly opened the door,surprised that it was unlocked. Quickly I ran from room to room,then  up the stairs,and almost fell. When I came to Andrea's  room,I found her lying on the floor,holding her legs as she curled herself in a ball. Tears streamed down her face as my father beats her with his long belt.
