Vows Of Deception Episode 4: Behind the Closed Door(II)

Later that night...

Eleanor Gray

*in her room, standing beside the window pane

Eleanor, lost in her own thoughts, stares outside at the busy world through her wide window pane

The lights were casting a soft glow on her face. She clenched a worn photograph in her hand lightly

Eleanor Gray

*looks at the photograph

A picture of her parents, their smiles frozen in happier times.

Eleanor Gray

*face quivers up to constrain her tears that are welling up ....

The memory of their downfall at the hands of Eisen’s father fueled her resolve.

Eleanor Gray

*breathes out ...I have nothing else to lose now, therefore nothing can constrain me

Meanwhile, Eisen sat in his study

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*smoking, staring at his drawer

Staring at his first drawer in his right, he pulled the drawer open...

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*stubs out the cigarette in his ash tray, goes through the documents

Inside was a dossier labeled "Project Legacy."

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

(in mind) Its not enough... I need to dig deeper

Suddenly Eleanor appeared outside the room

Eleanor Gray

(in mind) I must have a talk with him... ー

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*rubs his temple Haa... Marrying Eleanor might prove to be useful... And soon I might get a call from "HER" as well...

Eleanor Gray

?! *stops, hides behind the wall

Eleanor Gray

(in mind) Marrying me is "useful"? So he did have an ulterior motive

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*annoyed; growls in a low voice Not yet... I can't let her meet Eleanor... Otherwise all of my plans shall go to nothing

Eleanor Gray

*trying to not get caught and listen to what he's trying to say

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

She'll turn Eleanor more wild than she is right now *leans his back on his chair

Eleanor Gray

*leaves quickly

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*side eyes at the door

It seems that Eisen already got an idea that Eleanor was there, hiding outside his room.

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*smirks (in mind) Great...

Next morning

Eleanor hardly granted any sleep last night

Due to which she woke up early and was preparing herself a coffee in the kitchen

Eleanor Gray

*yawns lightly, stirring the coffee

Eleanor Gray

(in mind) Last night... ー

Recalls

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

Marrying Eleanor might prove to be useful... And soon I might get a call from "HER" as well...

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

Not yet... I can't let her meet Eleanor... Otherwise all of my plans shall go to nothing!

End of recalling

Eleanor Gray

*furrowed brows, tired eyes (in mind) "HER"... He said "her"... Who is he referring to?

As Eleanor was busy in her own world, thinking about last night, Eisen wad climbing downstairs where he saw Eleanor in deep thought and stirring her coffee

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*smirks, hurriedly went to Eleanor

Eleanor is so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even realise that Eisen is already approaching near her

Eleanor Gray

! *eyes widened, realised something

Eleanor Gray

*mumbles Don't tell me... Is it his motー

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*snatches the cup of coffee from her hand How considerate ー *sips from it

Eleanor Gray

*surprised You son of a GUN!!! *angry

Eleanor Gray

That was mine!

Eleanor Gray

Go fetch your own!

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*laughs, drank up half of the cup I am! In fact everything in this house belongs to me, so is THIS COFFEE.. and...

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*bends towards Eleanor .. So are you *smiles

Eleanor Gray

Did you forget yesterday's slap? Is it not ringing in your ears? Wanna get hit again?!! *disgusted

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*Backs away, finishes the coffee Calm down... I have some news

Eleanor Gray

... What is it?

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

We have an important dinner party tonight it is "important" *serious

Eleanor Gray

*furrowed brows ; looks away I can't go, I have some work to do (in mind) Won't get another chance to search his study

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

*raises his eyebrows I guess you didn't listen well, "WE" need to attend a dinner party tonight

Eisen Black Wood(ML)

We both ARE going... TOGETHER *cold glare

Eleanor Gray

*pissed off
