Dominik gave her ayold glase, clearly done with her, and started to turn away. But Eleanor stepped in front of hum and snapped, “Hey, when did 1 say you could leave?”

Thankfully, Eleanor was still breathing. Tyler sighed in relief and quickly reported, “She’s alive. Don’t worry, she’s just passed out from the alcohol “Dont worry” Dominick scoffed, his face like stone. The chilling expression on his face made Tyler’s spine tingle with uncase.

He shook his head and complained mentally. She really makes me sich I feel like marrying a whore” But then the thought of the rewards Dominick promised him calmed his nerves
Forget it from the start, I married this woman for the perks. What does her past matter? I’ve got to think about how much I can gain from the with Dominick Tyler mused, a sly, greedy glint flickering in his eyes.
Hours later, Eleanor slowly stirred awake, her body aching all over. It felt like she had been run over by a truck. Her head was poumeling, her stomach was a raging inferno, and she was beyond hungry.
She sat ups, clutching her stomach, her mind foggy. As her eyes adjusted to the dim light, the events from earlier came nishing back. She married a stranger and was forced to drink by Alexis
Her wedding day was a disaster, a humiliating, soul–crushing nightmare. She couldn’t think of a worse way to sq

Burdar hunger gnawing at her stomach pushed her forward. She gritted her teeth, ignoring her surroundings as best as she could, and sturdded out in search of food
She stepped into the living room, and there he was her husband, Tyler, sitting casually on the rouch His figure threw her off guard. Her body tensed up as she asked in shock, “What are you doing here?”

Eleanor’s gaze dropped to her stomach, trying to soothe the pain. She stayed silent for a moment, then, with memory. You’re in this with Dominick, aren’t you

Tyler smiled. “I was hired by him, so yeah, we’re on the same side. Now, Eleanor, you’d better get ready and make me something to eat? Eleanor froze, staring at him in disbelief. “Excuse me? You want me to cook for you?”
She couldn’t believe her ears. Back when she was with Dominick, she never cooked. Even after being tossed aside and arrested, she still never cooked. The idea of making food for anyone, especially this man, felt completely absurd to her.
