Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 154
Ch-153
Eleanor was torn right now. She wished that even her enemy shouldn’t get trapped in this kind of situation.
On one side it was Myna on the other side, Valene. She could see Valene’s thoughts written on his face, while Myna wasn’t aware of them.
Myna was pissed off by Valene. While Valene was enjoying her reactions. She could see the sparks fly in between them. Deep down in her heart, she knew that Valene was better for Myna than her brother. Because she knew her brother’s feelings towards Myna. Eleanor doesn’t want to give up the opportunity for Myna. Íf it was Edward she would make him give up because of his behavior but it’s Valene. He is mature, calm, strong, young, and gentle. Myna would be happy with him.
But now the main important thing was her best friend and her soon-to-be step brother were fighting like dogs. Myna wants to tear him into pieces, while Valene was enjoying the time with her.
“Guys, I feel tired and dizzy. I need rest. You guys leave too,” Eleanor said.
“You rest, Nora. I will go!” Myna said.
“It’s all because of your best friend. And you dare to call yourself her protective brother! Shame on you!” Myna taunted him.
“Says the very same woman who tried to stop me from beating the shit out of him,” Valene said not knowing the storm he brewed inside Eleanor’s heart.
Myna gave him a pitiful look suddenly which confused Valene. She shifted her eyes towards Eleanor. Her eyes turned red already.
‘Fuck!’ he cursed in his mind. He should have seen that coming. This woman makes him an idiot. How could he be an idiot? Sigh… he just wants to dig a hole and bury himself. Or maybe running away would help him to some extent.
Turning his head he looked at Myna who was already smirking at him. She got up from her seat and started walking towards the door. But not before stopping before him and whispering a few words to him. Myna stopped near him, she leaned forward to him.
Valene could feel the presence of her body. And her cocoa scent was invading his senses, blinding all his senses. Feeling her warmth… he let her do crazy things to him unknowingly. He doesn’t know why but his body was reacting to her. She was like a trigger to his body.
“All the best,” she whispered near his ear. He could feel that her bosom touched his shoulder lightly. The soft-touch made his reins run crazy. Damn… he needs a release.
Myna leaves the moment she is done saying the things she needed to say.
“Brother!” Eleanor yells.
“Ele,” he breathes out.
Seeing him lose his mind, Cedric’s face flashed in her mind. She knew these reactions were signs of true love. And she was rooting for them… at least from now. But she also knew it would be hard for Valene. As she knew how deep her feelings were for Martin. And on the other side… Edward was confusing her. She couldn’t decipher… if he loves Myna or not or she was not sure if he was testing them at that time. But she knew that even if he likes her… he would be out of the game. Despite how horrible his attitude was. He was a great friend. He would do anything.
Seeing his dazed face, her anger vanished in a poof. She sighed seeing him still watching the leaving silhouette of Myna.
“She left already,” Eleanor said.
But he didn’t hear her.
“Brother…” she called him. He didn’t budge again.
“Brother!” she yelled.
“Sorry, you were saying something,” he said.
“She left. Don’t be too obvious you might scare her,” she added.
“I want her,” he says.
“I would have felt happy if you said you love her,” Eleanor said clearly saying she was disappointed.
“I don’t know. But I want myself all to myself the whole life. I want her to join my life journey till the end. I don’t know If I love her or like her. But I want her all my life,” he says.
“All the best,” she says with a sigh, making him go silent.
There was a completely comfortable silence.
“You shouldn’t have done that to him,” she says, breaking the silence.
“I can’t let him take advantage of you,” he says.
“He wasn’t,” she says.
Valene walks towards her and tugs her collar enough to expose her collar bones, which were filled with bite marks and red marks.
“He doesn’t, right?” he asked sarcastically.
“It was consensual,” she said, trying to defend Cedric.
“Don’t defend him,” he said sitting beside her.
“I know. But… I can’t help it,” she said.
There was a silence between them.
“Lil one, remember no matter how much he, me, Martin, or our dad loves you. No one has the right to take advantage of you in a way that hurts you. We can’t be with you all the time. But the one who is going to live all the life and the time with you is yourself. I hope you got what I mean,” Valene said.
She nods.
“Take care,” he says before leaving.
“You too,” she says.
“Brother loves you. He only wants the best for you,” Valen says as gets up from his seat.
“Brother…” she calls making him stop.
“Will you be okay with her?” she asks. He knew what she meant. He gave her an assuring smile.
“When you feel you are losing yourself in love. I hope you stop loving her. Because this was a toxic relationship and you know it.” she says. Valene says.
“Why her?” she asks, not understanding his thoughts.
“It is always her. It’s just that… this is the only chance for me,” he said.
“In the sense?” she asked, feeling confused.
“You saw her yesterday for the first time. In a single day what made you change your feelings to her,” she added.
“You think yesterday was my first time seeing her?” he asked, grabbing a stool he sat in front of her.
“Yeah..” she answered.
“I saw her long ago. I don’t know the exact time. But it’s been years since I kept noticing her, But she only has Martin in her eyes. I tried to move on but… whenever I meet a woman I keep comparing her to Myna. Now… I feel it’s time for me to take the chance,” he said.
ELeanor nodded at his answer. She has to agree he was the best person for Myna. Despite that… she felt a little bad that her biological brother would be losing a good woman in his life. Well… whatever for the sake of her brother… She can’t let a woman enter a loveless marriage and torment her whole life.
She just felt it was such a shame. If only Martin treated her a bit nicer maybe Myna would have been his.
“Why have you waited this long? Didn’t you get tired?” Eleanor asked.
“She only has Martin in her eyes. And she never looked at other men. And as for why now in the sense… It’s because her feelings towards are started to flee. If not now… I would never have the chance,” he said.
Eleanor nodded at him. Indeed… even she noticed the fleeting feeling of Myna. After all, everyone has a line. When they cross it knowingly or unknowingly they become a different person. Even now… Myna was still taking care of her brother… but there was something. She used to see Myna clinging to Martin like a Koala but now… she was like a doctor to him more than a person who loves him.
“Don’t be like Cedric. Take care of her well,” she said.
Valene nodded at her with a smile.
“Maybe involving mom would help you with the things faster,” Eleanor suggested.
“Little Sister… if I involve mom, instead of helping me she would find Myna’s parents and fix a match with them. Let me handle this,” he said. She chuckled at his words. Well… she can’t deny the fact that Aria was capable of that.
“I can’t deny that.” she said.
He patted her head.
“Mom and Dad called me for you. Talk to them,” he said. She nodded at him and took his phone.
“Hi dad,” she said the moment the call connected.
“Eleanor, Where the hell are you?” Aiden’s voice could be heard from the other side.
“Dad… I am fine. Mason got hurt and Cedric stayed back for today in the hospital accompanying him,” Eleanor said, hiding the fact that she had a fever.
“Ok… return home early. You can’t stand the smell of Medicine,” he said worriedly.
“Dad… that was long ago not now,” she said like a kid with a pout on her lips.
“Little princess is grown up now,” he said with a chuckle.
“Indeed!” she said like a kid.
“Is Cedric with you?” he asked.
Eleanor doesn’t know what to say. But she decided to lie to him.
“Nope dad, he went to get food for us,” she said.
“Oh… are you alone? Do you want me to come?” he asked worriedly.
“Nope. Brother Valene is with me,” she said.
“Good. Then… return home earlier.” he said.
“I plan to stay with Myna tonight, dad. She got hurt today. She fell down when a nurse knocked her down and her palms were hurt. I will be with her tonight,” she said.. How could she reveal she was hurt because Cedric took her forcefully.
