Zade's POV

The moment I parked at the house, Elaine jumped down from the car and ran into the sitting room. Within minutes, I couldn't find her anymore and her door was locked. I couldn't help but chuckle at the way she scurried away. She was so bold back there in the car and now, she was running away like a rabbit? I shook my head, another snicker sneaking past my lips. But… I clenched my fists. Was I too hasty in doing what I did?

I glanced back at Elaine's door, my jaw clenching, a part of me wanted to go after her, to demand we finish what we started but another part, the more rational part of me that had disappointed me in the car, told me to back off. To give her space, after everything she had been through, I couldn't push her too hard or too fast, I was even thankful that she didn't kick me in the balls for kissing her. A memory of that came to me and I chuckled again.

But damn it, that kiss… it had been everything I remembered and more. She tasted like fire and sweetne

    Zade's POVI said, and Erika's eyes widened, her lips trembling as she tried to move back. It wasn't possible since she was strapped to the chair. I stepped closer, a sinister smirk on my face. “Z… Zade? What… What are you talking about? You came here to save me, didn't you? You're just trying to scare me.” Sweat dripped down her brows and dropped to her clothes. I chuckled, the sound echoing in the warehouse. “Save you?” I repeated softly, leaning down until my face was only inches from hers, and I let my hand trail lightly over the back of her chair, a slow, deliberate movement that made her shiver in fear, “Did you really think I would ever waste my time saving you?” Erika’s breath hitched as she shrank back as much as her body could allow, “Zade, I…” “Shut up.” I cut her off sharply. The coldness in my voice made her eyes widen, the tears she’d been holding back spilling over her cheeks, “Do you know what the sight of you does to me? The disgust it makes me feel? After every

    Elaine's POV “This is stupid, really stupid.” I muttered, staring at my reflection in the mirror. I was all dressed and primped up, looking like I was going to a party rather than to work. Although it wasn't as much as the receptionist's dressing at the capital, I still thought that this was over the top. I groaned, going to sit back on the bed, what had happened the night before was messing me up. I raised my hands to touch my lips, somehow, I was still feeling the soft feel of his lips on mine, I still remember it vividly. Zade was still a very good kisser, even more than before. If I could just get him to kiss me again… I trailed off. What the heck am I thinking?! “Ugh! I'm tired!” I buried my face into my pillow, groaning into it. “If you're tired, you can stay at home.” I suddenly heard Zade's voice and I turned my head towards the door and there he was, leaning against the door frame. I rolled my eyes. “And you would allow me to stay at home?” I questioned. “Anything f

    Elaine's POV “True.” He said with a slight nod, “But then I wouldn’t get to see you all flustered like this, would I?” He winked, and I felt my heart stutter again. He knew exactly what he was doing, pushing me just enough to get a reaction. What was his plan actually? I took a deep breath, willing myself to remain calm, “Fine, I’ll get the package. But I’m not doing this because you asked nicely. I’m doing it because I want to get out of this place and get some fresh air.” “Of course.” He nodded again, that infuriating smirk never leaving his face, “You know, Elaine, sometimes I think you like running errands for me.” “Please, don’t flatter yourself.” I scoffed, grabbing my bag from the chair and slinging it over my shoulder, “I just want to finish this quickly so I can get back to my actual job. So who's the person I'm taking the package from?” Zade handed me a picture and I stared at it, along with an address and a phone number. The address was at a high end restaurant, V

    Elaine's POV “Yes, I’m really Elijah Delacroix, the eldest son of the royal family.” He confirmed, his tone serious now, yet still holding that air of amusement, “Now, do you still think I’m impersonating someone?” “N… no.” I shook my head dumbly, still dazed, “I'm sorry for accusing you of impersonation!” I bowed my head, apologising. My heart was beating so fast, from fear, that he would just call out people and say, ‘Off with her head!’ and then I would not be able to get my revenge again. Elijah burst into another set of laughter at my trembling body, “Don't worry, I'm not going to ask someone to go off with your head if that's what you're thinking.” He said, making me go red in the face. “I… I'm sorry.” I squealed. But, from what I heard, the oldest son of the Delacroix family was a bald headed old man with a big stomach, he wasn't as handsome as this, and tall. The other one was rather short. Rumours, they really could destroy a person, I never had the chance to search for

    Elaine's POV Caleb and Emily… They were looking right at me. Their eyes were wide, as wide as sauce pans, they looked like they had just seen a ghost. I almost chuckled at the irony, because to them, I was very much like a ghost, a ghost who Emily had watched drown or so she believed. I remembered watching the news and the body that was found under the bridge; the one that was said to be mine obviously wasn't. It had the same name I had, and it had worked in my favour, not that Caleb and Emily had any qualms to check it. If they had looked further, they would have found out that another family had come to claim it; that it wasn't mine at all, but they didn't. I gripped the steering wheel, willing myself to have a blank and neutral face. I didn't think I'd meet them like this, in this manner, staring at each other from afar. I swallowed the rising bile in my throat, the memories of that night surging back like a wave I wasn’t ready for. I had prepared for this moment a thousand times

    Author's POV “This is what she could look like now?” Jared questioned, studying the picture in his hands. In the picture was an older ages up version of their younger sister made by technology, even though he were quite sceptical of the picture, he were still impressed and had to admit that he could still see their sister in the technology made photo in their hands. Killian had handed him the picture earlier that morning, “It’s not perfect, but it's the closest estimation we have.” Killian had said, his tone soft. Jared could hear the underlying frustration in his brother’s voice, the anger that time had stolen their sister from them. Jared sighed and placed the picture back on the table. A headache brewed behind his head, the weight of the past and the uncertainty of what the present held was pressing down on him. He needed air. Without a word to anyone, Jared slipped out of the house and into the streets, walking. It was hard for people to recognise him because, well… He was und

    Elaine's POV “I'm sorry I'm late.” I apologised as I dropped the papers on the table, trying to rearrange it. “Why do you look so… rough?” Elijah questioned, leaning on his hands as he stared at me. He didn't even move to help me, well I couldn't blame him, he was a prince so he wasn't used to helping people. But contrary to my thoughts, he stood up, his tall frame towering over me as he slightly pushed me away, pressing down on my shoulders and forcing me to sit. Then, with practised movements, he rearranged the documents and put them into its folders back while I watched with pure fascination, I guess I was wrong. “I bumped into someone, so everything got on the floor. I'm just thankful that it didn't get into water or something.” I muttered the last part of my sentence under my breath. But as I looked a little bit more at Elijah, I realised something. “Come to think of it, you look like the older version of the person who bumped into me. Like, you have the same face, he could

    Author's POV “We have been able to find who she is. Elaine Winters, she grew up in a small house before she got married to one Caleb. However, there's a problem here, she's registered as dead. It says she died months ago, but how's that possible? I saw her a few days ago.” Jared placed the papers gingerly on the table, then turned his head around to stare at the man who had given him this information, “Are you sure this is correct?” He questioned, still sceptical about it. Killian who was beside him also raised his head up, silently asking with his eyes the same question as Jared. “Yes. I investigated deeply before bringing this to you. Jared, you know how I am, I just don't bring unverified information to you, I am a little offended.” The man replied quietly, his voice soft. “Ah, I apologise.” Jared chuckled, “But I don't understand. How could she be dead? I literally saw her like, a few days ago, this doesn't make sense.” “I would advise you to finish reading the documents a
