Chapter 32: The End (of?)
Ch-32
"I will help you uncover the mystery of your brother’s accident," he said, shocking the wits out of her.
Eleanor looked at him with shock as she widened her eyes.
"It’s a planned accident... marry me... I will help you with everything..." he said to her in her ear.
Now... was her marriage a deal? But her brother, her family, and everything was in ruins. Only he could help her. She was leeching on him like a leech. She wanted to say no... but her heart was saying she would regret it if she rejected him, while her brain was asking her to reject him. Eleanor was conflicted. She closed her eyes and remembered everything he had done to her.
He helped her from the start. Be it she almost raped time, be it during her breakup time, be it when her family almost bankrupted, when she was bullied, when she got insulted. He was there everywhere. And he wasn’t that bad... but... a bit shameless. No... no.... No... a lot of shame! But it’s passable.
"Let’s get married!" she said looking into his eyes, attracting other’s attention to them. Cedric smiled at her. He bent his head to kiss her but was stopped when he heard Eleanor’s next words.
"But..." she trailed.
Cedric felt restless when he heard her words. Even Katherine.... She almost squealed in joy even Mr. Emerson too. But they stopped when they heard her saying ’but’. What now?
"But?" Cedric urged Eleanor to say further.
