Chapter 10 - Eleanor Receives A Terrifying Eviction Notice From William
At 8:00 a.m. the following morning, the heavy oak doors of the master dining room swung open as Eleanor walked in for breakfast.
She wore a crisp cream silk blouse and pearls, acting as if the horrific events of the previous night had never happened at all.
She sat down at the head of the long mahogany table, expecting her personal butler to pour her morning cup of imported Earl Grey tea.
Instead, William stepped into the dining room, dressed in a sharp charcoal business suit with a thick manila folder in his hand.
He didn't sit down; he walked straight up to her place setting and dropped the manila folder squarely on top of her crystal plate.
“What is the meaning of this childish drama before my coffee, William?” Eleanor asked coldly, raising an eyebrow in haughty irritation.
“Open the folder, Mother,” William commanded, his voice devoid of any warmth, carrying the chilling weight of absolute finality.
Eleanor sighed dramatically, sliding the folder open with her fingernails and pulling out the single legal document inside.
