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?”

“I tend to be less approachable,” he answers.

“Why?” I ask just as Eli steps out.

“He isn’t as polite,” Eli chuckles, overhearing us.

“I don’t like humans,” Eli says simply when we walk inside, shutting the door.

“You say that but yet you apparently like me”

“That’s different you’re mine, my little human” Cyrus says like him hating humans and being mates with one was the simple because I was his.

The office consists of one huge desk that was clearly used by both of them, a lounge and coffee table, it looked more like a home office then a business one with its books shelves and lamps.

Eli walks over to his desk, turning on his laptop. He busies himself doing work while I spin around in the office chair bored out of my mind. Cyrus sits reading a book from the bookshelf.

“Will you stop spinning, you are making me dizzy watching you” Eli mutters.

“Well can you give me something to do, I thought the whole reasoning I was here was to work?” I state.

Eli says nothing but I see his shoulders bunch up. “You don’t want me here to work do you?” I ask when says nothing. Cyrus looks over the top of his book at him before looking back down.

“No, honestly we have enough employees, you just sit there and look pretty” he grumbles while I glare at him.

“Then why did we have to come back here, Cyrus said you barely even come in so why couldn’t we have stayed back at home”

Eli growls but I knew I was onto something, they had other motives to bring me here that weren’t work related.

“Is this because of Sam?” I ask him and I see Eli glare at me over the top of his laptop.

“Part of the reason” he says looking back down.

“So what I am supposed to do is just follow you around and do nothing, or be some weird version of a housewife” I tell him.

“Well you know what they say” he mutters but doesn’t finish.

“No, what do they say” I bite back, folding my arms across my chest now annoyed.

“That women have small feet so they can fit in all corners of a kitchen” Eli says.

“That is the most sexest s**t I have ever heard” I tell him, reaching over and chucking a stapler at him. It hits him in the head before falling on his laptop. He glares his teeth pulling back over top lip as his canines protrude. Even while looking scary and angry I couldn’t help but chuckle when I realised he had a staple stuck in his head.

He pulls it and goes to get up his knuckles, turning white as he grips his desk.

“You deserved it” Cyrus says to him, looking over his book.

“Personally I would have thrown the letter opener would have hurt more if it stuck” Cyrus tells me.

Eli sits down and reaches over grabbing the things closest to me and dumping them in the top drawer.

“So are you going to tell me why I am here then?”

“You don’t need to know just yet”

“And why is that?”

“Because you aren’t marked by Cyrus and until you are we won’t be having this conversation” Eli states leaving no room for argument. Cyrus sighs loudly, placing the book in his lap and looking at him.
