Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 58

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 58 – Addeline Pov

We drove into the city, whatever their argument was about made the entire car drive tense. You could feel the tension sizzling in the air, their anger radiating out of them like a dark cloud. It was suffocating. After driving for ten minutes the atmosphere became too much.

“What’s going on, you two have been glaring out the windshield the entire way?”

“Nothing you need to worry about Addie, everything is fine” Eli says and I hear Cyrus curse under his breath before glaring at Eli through the rearview mirror.

“Obviously something is going on, I would have stayed home if you to were just going to glare and grumble at each other”

“Where we go, you go” Eli states and I roll my eyes.

“Whatever” I tell him looking out the window. Eli growls at my time.

“Don’t take out your grievances on her, Eli or you and I will have problems” Cyrus tells him pulling over in a parking spot in the underground car park he just pulled into.

“We already have problems Cyrus until you do as I ask that won’t change” Eli snaps back.

“Not happening Eli so deal with it”

“Deal with what?” I ask, confused over their lovers’ quarrel.

Cyrus goes to speak when Eli grips his shoulder. Cyrus ignores him, instead turning in his seat to look back at us.

“Eli wants to complete the bond, he wants me to Mark you with or without your permission because he is paranoid about you running off with your ex” Cyrus says.

“I gave you the phone didn’t I?” I ask, looking at Eli. He shrugs not caring.

“Doesn’t change the fact that you need to be marked and the sooner the better. I am sick of waiting” Eli snaps at me before opening his door and getting out. He slams the door stomping off.

“I won’t do it Addie, you don’t have to worry” Cyrus tells me.

“What if he forces you?”

“He can’t, I wouldn’t even if he tried. I want you to want me to mark you, until then I will wait”

“But it’s causing problems with you and Eli” I tell him and he looks to Eli’s retreating figure out the window.

“We have been together for a long time. Addie you don’t have to worry about Eli and I we aren’t going anywhere even if we do disagree” he says before opening his door.

We walked through the car park before walking through some sliding doors that led to a small foyer. This building was only three levels a lot smaller than the building back home.

“This is head office. Mainly we work from here but it isn’t necessary we are here daily, the manager manages just fine, so we probably won’t stay long. We just wanted to show you around, we mainly only come in for big meetings” Cyrus tells me.

One thing I did find weird though was that there were no females here. Even the secretary at the foyer counter was a man. Curiosity getting the better of me I end up asking as we walk down the grey hall toward their office.

“Why are there no women?” I ask, noticing yet again that their personal secretary was also a man.

“We don’t like working with women they become a unnecessary distraction”

“A distraction?”

“Yes all the ones we have hired have a tendency to continuously throw themselves at Eli” he answers with an annoyed expression on his face.

“They don’t do that to you?”
