Elaine's POV

“Miss Elaine, Mrs Erica is asking for you. She's waiting for you at the reception.” One of the employees came to my office to inform me. I nodded and waved for her to leave, standing up myself and going after her. It's been one month and two weeks since Erica signed the deal with Zade's company, and since I became a full fledged employee who received a hefty sum of money. Throughout the days that passed, new things came up.

The extra one hundred million dollars that I had from Erica's gem was transferred to my account, I was so shocked when it happened. I wanted to return it because of how huge it was and because I was scared. I had never handled that amount of money before not to talk of it belonging to me, but Zade didn't agree. He said that since I worked for it, I should have it. However, he scolded me and said that I should have sold the gem for more than what I sold it for and to be honest, I really was tempted to do that but I didn't want to come off as being too

    Elaine's POV As Zade and I entered the meeting room, all the murmuring that was flying in the air went quiet, and all their heads turned around to stare at us, their eyes burning and boring holes into our backs. It took a long time for me to get used to those scrutinising gazes of the board members but I was able to do it, after all, Zade's personal assistant couldn't show that she was intimidated by mere stares. I settled into my seat next to Zade and he cleared his throat, commanding the attention of all in the room, “Today, we have an agenda to discuss. As we all know, a new branch has been opened in West Drewire and I have come to realise that there has been a series of things going on in that company…” As soon as he said this, two people on the seat stiffened up, their eyes flickering to each other, "I'm here to take care of those things right now.” Zade continued, knocking his hands on his table. “Elaine here has found some quite surprising things that makes me think about t

    Elaine's POV “Who is he?!” Zade asked, his voice was as cold as ice. Neither of us expected that someone else would be behind the both of them, not at all. I never got that information while I was investigating, this was going towards another direction. “I… I don't know who he is. What I know is that he contacted me through someone else, and after giving me this order, he never contacted me again and only said I should do so after the company has been able to sell the product successfully. I've never seen the real Jackal before.” Andrew explained while Louis was still crying on the ground, trembling. “He must have known that you'd be caught…” I said slowly, “That's why he never messaged you again. He was toying with Zade's trying to tell him that this was something he could clearly do under his nose. Zade, the person could be in this company, in this very room, smiling at what is going on here.” I finished, looking at each and every one of the board members. None of them were smil

    Elaine's POV “Tested? They were testing drugs that hadn't been perfected on people?!” An outraged strangled cry sounded in the midst of the meeting, people knocking their hands on the table in shock and anger. “Yes, we received word that they had been doing that for quite a while, even before they were given our formula, but no one has been able to prove it so it died down. However, we were given a chance this time and we succeeded. We were able to get footage of the uncompleted formula being tested on rabbits and humans, kept in labs to see how they would be affected. But despite the infections and series of sickness that those experimented on were affiliated with, they didn't stop. Brent Ruse paid the family of those who had eventually died a sum of money to keep their mouths shut and to also threaten them.” Zade explained, standing from his own seat to stand next to me. “Everything that has happened from the beginning until now is just a ruse that was meant to reveal the wrongd

    Elaine's POV “I didn't think I'd come back here this early. It's only been a little less than two months.” I adjusted my sunglasses, looking at thr sunny skies. West Drewire was as sunny as I always expected it to be, although throughout my time here, it was already rainy and sad. Or maybe that was just in my head, but now? It looked very sunny, and it was so damn hot. “Let's go, our car is waiting for us already.” Zade came forward, traveling box in his hand. I glanced over at Zade, who was already a few steps ahead of me, his tall frame casting a shadow on thr pavement. He looked almost relaxed, his usual cold expression softening as he turned back to glance at me. “Right, I’m coming.” I muttered, adjusting my sunglasses again. They weren’t just for the sun; they were also for hiding the turmoil in my eyes. Coming back to West Drewire so soon felt strange, like returning to a battlefield where the war wasn’t quite over. Zade's gaze lingered on me, “We could go back if you wanted

    Author's POV The sun was already setting when a sleek black limousine pulled up outside the airport, a crowd gathered and curious onlookers were whispering excitedly. Well, it wasn't everyday that a prominent family arrived unannounced in the Country’s Capital, West Drewire, let alone one that was connected to the Royal Family or that a black limo was parked outside casually. The anticipation heightened when the automatic doors of the airport slid open, and the Delacroix family stepped out into the airport’s busy terminal. People's head turned as the family made their way outside with a form of regal air, her tailored blue dress and her accessories hinting at her noble status. Behind her, two young children dashed out, almost tripping over their own feet in their excitement. The twins, Ethan and Elara, were mirror images of each other, with tousled black hair and bright brown eyes. It was evident they had far more energy than their refined mother could contain. “Look, Elara! It’s t

    Author's POV “Ugh.” Jared grunted, following his family. He caught up to them in no time, opening the door for his mother who only glared at him, not saying anything and instead, she turned around, going towards the other part of the car and opening it herself. For good measure, when she opened it, she glanced up at Jared, scoffed again and looked away. Jared rolled his eyes, muttering something along the lines of ‘Such a petty woman', before entering the other part of the car. Few moments later, they drove off. “Killian, they say she's here. Do you think she'll actually be here? We've been looking for her so many years, and I was finally told that she's here. What if they're lying to us?” Lady Evangeline said slowly, the corner of her lips pulling into a small frown. She had a worried look in her eyes; worried that she had been lied to. After all, throughout the years, she had always wanted to find her child, but due to one thing or the other, she couldn't. At one point, she had to

    Author's POV Jared snickered, his hands going up to cover his mouth. Evangeline heard it nonetheless. It was only Giselle that could make Evangeline lose her composure like this, even her children hardly could. Giselle laughed, a twinkling bell-like laugh that echoed in the house. She stepped aside and greeted warmly, “Welcome back, my lady. The house is ready for your greatness to enter.” She bowed her head a bit low and stretched her hands to gesture to the house. Evangeline huffed, but she went in nonetheless, glancing at Giselle with an unfathomable look in her eyes. With that, the family made their way up the grand marble steps and into the mansion, the main hall was just as lavish as ever, with its high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and intricately carved wooden panelling. As they made their way through the hall, Jared slowed his pace, his gaze wandering over the portraits that lined the walls. Each portrait depicted a member of the Delacroix family, their stern, proud faces

    Elaine's POV “There, it's done. Brent Ruse has been arrested and sentenced, it was very quick.” I leaned on my seat, turning it around so I could face Zade who stood behind me, “What next?” I asked, staring at him from under my lashes. Zade said nothing, he remained silent, his gaze fixed on me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. My cheeks heated under his scrutiny and I shifted uncomfortably, trying to figure out what he was thinking. Why was he staring at me like that? Was there something on my face? I lifted my hands to my face, I wasn't wearing my mask but it wasn't as if he had never seen me without my mask before… I swallowed, feeling my heart race faster with every second that passed. “Za…” Then his phone rang, and the sudden noise supposedly broke the spell between us. “Hm?” He didn't move, just hummed and continued looking at me with an unreadable expression, until his phone chimed again. “Aren't you going to take that?” I gestured towards the ringing phone.
