Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 211

Ch-209

Eleanor felt happy seeing Cedric. She didn’t notice her changing feelings towards Cedric. From the time, she learned about his past, her feelings started wavering towards him. But again… she couldn’t bring herself to be with him. In the end, she still deserves an explanation.

Meanwhile…

Myna was feeling anxious as she sat in front of Oliver. Indeed, she wanted to go to the bar. But after Oliver’s hard glare, they dropped the idea of Lady’s night party. And then again… her main headache was Cedric. He called her this afternoon and begged her to help him in getting together with Eleanor. As a softy, she gave in and offered to help. Cedric asked her to arrange a trip as if it’s her idea and invite Eleanor for it. And she felt sweaty when she stood in front of Eleanor fearing that she might catch her cheating. Nevertheless, she wanted her friend to get together with Cedric as soon as possible.

The advantage she got here was the place can be anywhere that was chosen by Eleanor.

When her plan worked, she messaged Cedric saying that the [Deal was done. Action can be taken.] Her heart was thudding against her ribcage from that moment. Ahh… god! She wished that Eleanor shouldn’t have any hard or strong reaction to his appearance here. She just hoped everything should be fine after all it’s not a healthy thing for a pregnant woman to face too many emotional fluctuations.

Just then, Myna got an idea. “Damn! I feel like My aunt Flo is going to visit,” Myna said.

“Isn’t it after a week for you,” Eleanor asked as she furrowed her brows.

“I don’t know… my period became irregular. I am getting it earlier these days,” Myna lied. Eleanor was about to say something but she cut her off. “I will come in five minutes. Wait in the car,” she said and ran before she could respond.

Eleanor walked to her car and decided to sit inside it by ignoring Cedric’s presence.

“Eleanor,” he called out in a voice that was filled with love, despair, sadness, regret, and all kinds of emotions.

Her mind was flashed with the memories from the time they both met again. She felt her eyes turning wet but she held them on by shutting her eyes tightly before opening them after a few seconds.

“I am sorry,” he said. Eleanor heard a thud sound behind her. Turning around, she saw Cedric on his knees again for the second time.

“For?” she asked as she tried to ignore the lump that formed in her throat.

“Everything. Everything I did for you, for us, and our child,” he said as he looked into her eyes which were filled with nothing but genuinity and love for her.

“You say sorry and would never learn from it, Cedric. Forget it,” Eleanor said. She expected him to explain at least now. But he did nothing he just said sorry and that’s all? She was tired of this.

She turned her heels and decided to leave.

“Eleanor,” he said as he held her hand.

“Do you have anything else to say?” she asked.

Cedric could see that she wasn’t trusting him. He felt like a knife stabbing his chest but again he deserved that. He broke the trust she has for him. He has to build his way towards her again.

“I have a lot to say but I don’t know where to start,” he said.

“Start from the point where everything started,” she said without any emotion in her eyes. Eleanor was feeling hard to maintain her expression in front of him. His eyes held many things that were wavering her heart. But if she melts down easily at his eyes then she wouldn’t get the answers she needed. The worst thing was… she raising her child all alone. She can do that.

“Nathaira and I are engaged for some time when I am in Arrowglen,” he said.

“I know about that. Tell me what you did after you left Arrowglen. Why didn’t you respect me? Why did you choose the hard way to protect me? Why did you insult me? Why did you ask me to abort the child? Why don’t I deserve to give birth to your child? You are the one who chased after me for a long time. Why did you tell me you made up the eight years wait is a lie? Tell me,” she asked as she crossed her hands against her chest.

Cedric felt ashamed to answer her questions. He did too many sins to cover up and make up.

“I entered Mafia after that incident. I killed people, hurt many, and did many horrible things,” he admitted, shocking her further.

“Why did you enter Mafia?” she asked.

“Because there is a nurse who liked my rehabilitation center. She tried to drug me. But when I resisted, she got together with a man who is from Mafia. The first thing she requested that man was to kill me and show my dead body to her. I somehow escaped but one of my loyal men died while saving me.

“To avenge him, I entered that field. I searched for that man as the first thing. I killed him with my hands and avenged him. But… my senses are taken by my anger. I couldn’t quench my thirst for blood. I searched for every single man who worked for that man and killed them one by one without any mercy.

“Even after doing that, I couldn’t calm down. Because… I could still see the dead body of my man lying cold in the blood. His eyes begged me to run and save myself. When he saw me running, his lips curved into a smile. I couldn’t forget that image still. I decided to become stronger to the point that no one could think of hurting me or my men. I wanted to protect everyone. And as expected, I became stronger to the point no one could touch me.

“But there is no someone whom I couldn’t touch and find out….”
