My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Eliza was taken aback. The entire way back from Parson Media, Beau’s words kept reverberating in her head. “To them, you’re merely a weakling that they can bully at will. “If you wish to avoid being bullied and framed in the future, grow stronger so that you can crush them under your feet.” Crush them under my feet…’ Eliza chewed on the thought. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists. That seemed to be the only way out now. Beau was there to help her deal with it this time. But will he be there the next time?

And after that?

As long as she carried on with this career, it was inevitable that she would meet these two people and be entangled with them again. If that was the case, then it would be better to… As Beau said, crush them under her feet! With that in mind, she arrived at the entrance of the Valentine’s villa. When she went upstairs, she found Demarion coming out of her room sneakily.

The moment he turned around, his eyes met Eliza’s probing ones. He was startled and tried to shuffle discreetly to the direction of the study while greeting her. “Back so early today?” “Yes.” Eliza blocked his way. “What were you doing in my room?” “Nothing.”

Demarion pressed his lips together and turned to look in the direction of the stairs. “Daddy.” She frowned. ‘Didn’t Beau say that he was going to the company?’ She turned around reflexively and saw the empty stairs. There was not a soul in sight. “Bang!” The study door slammed shut behind her.

By the time she turned back around, the little fellow was long gone.

Eliza shook her head and headed back to her room. She walked in to see two stacks of books piled up high on her desk. So Demarion had snuck into her room to send her books?  

Eliza’s brows furrowed as she went over and flipped through the books one by one. They were all guides and references about various aspects of performances which would help improve her acting skills. Placed between the two piles of books was a baby blue greeting card. Upon the card were words written in neat handwriting. ‘Congratulations to Mommy on accomplishing your dream and becoming an actual actress. We hope that Mommy will attain greater heights in the future. Your darlings, Braint and Demarion.’ 10 Holding the card in her hands, Eliza felt warmth in her heart. Her aspiration to become an actress stemmed from an unexpected incident that occurred when she was a child.

After the incident, she felt the calling to one day become an outstanding actress. She eventually made it to an acting school. But because of Jay, she was unable to realize her dream.

All these years, none of her relatives, including the Lawson family and Luca Chapman, supported her aspiration of being an actress. Eventually, she got used to being a stuntwoman and never dreamt of ever fulfilling her childhood dream. But, now… She had only become family with Braint and Demarion for a month, but they have already shown her such support through their actions.

Demarion looked at Eliza through their open doors. “Don’t you think that Mommy really looks like you when she’s reading so attentively?” Braint, who had his head lowered because he was reading, frowned. “Does she?” “Yes, she does.” With a lollipop in his mouth, Demarion crossed his leg and glanced at Eliza, who was in her bedroom some distance away, and took another look at Braint, who was reading attentively. “The more I look at you, the more you resemble each other.

Demarion was stunned. He was petty? “It doesn’t really matter whether or not she is our biological mommy.” Braint looked at Eliza, who was reading attentively. “I like having her as my mommy. “And she treats us really well too. That’s all that matters.” “What a pity that Daddy doesn’t like her.” Demarion fiddled with his fingers. “Braint, what do you think we should do to make Daddy fall in love with Mommy?”
