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

    Elaine's POV “Miss Elaine…” Someone knocked on the door, calling out my name. I raised my head and said, “Come in”. A young woman, one of the employees downstairs whom I had never spoken to before, came in, she was cute. And I hoped her words were cute as well. “Miss, we have a message for Mr Silver's but he is not in yet so I was asked to bring this to you. It's from Delacroix.” She smiled and handed the sealed document to me. It was an invitation to a party at the Delacroix Mansion. “Thank you.” I smiled at her, watching her beam as she left my office. After she left, closing the door behind her, I glanced back at the invitation card, “It’s pretty.” I mused out, obviously admiring the handwriting. It was neater than I would have ever hoped to write. “Well, it's for Zade so…” I sighed and carefully stood up from my desk to walk to the inner office, Zade's office to keep the invitation in his drawer, when a voice suddenly sounded from the door. “What are you doing?” “Oh my g

    Elaine's POVI screamed, my face as red as a tomato, probably even redder than one. Zade chuckled, clearly proud of himself as he straightened up, his hands still braced against the wall, trapping me in place. His expression softened just slightly, though the amusement in his eyes hadn’t entirely faded. “You deserve it.” He said, matter-of-factly. I glared at him, my neck still tingling where his teeth had grazed my skin, "You’re insane, Zade." I muttered, rubbing the spot where he’d bitten me, “I hope I didn't get rabies from your teeth.” I muttered angrily. “Hm? Do you want us to check? I can bring an actual dog in to bite you.” He threatened and I shook my head rapidly, smiling sheepishly. “I was joking, just joking. You don't need to be so serious, Zade, you should learn how to take a joke sometimes.” “Whatever. Anyways, wear your mask properly and come with me to a place.” I blinked, thrown off by the sudden change in conversation, "What? Where?" He stepped back, giving

    Elaine's POV “Stay here while I go to pay.” Zade stood up and I sighed, plopping down on the chair to sit. I was beat! How could Zade act like this? I never knew he was a maniac when it came to clothes! But it really was stuffy here. I stood up, checking to see if I could spot Zade anywhere but I couldn't. I just went outside directly, forgetting to take my mask once again and that proved to be a very… wrong decision. Or was it?! I stepped outside, the crisp breeze hitting my face and filling my lungs with fresh air. For a brief moment, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the quiet, enjoying the small freedom of being out of the crowded store. Just as I was about to head back inside, my body collided with someone, and I stumbled backwards. I raised my head and was about to apologise when a gasp sounded in my ears. "Oh my god…” A familiar voice whispered, her tone full of disbelief and I froze. Standing in front of me, wide-eyed with jaws open wide were Caleb's mother and Emily. Emily’s

    Elaine's POV “Ah… Just the way your husband saw how much of a burden you were to him and how he left you afterwards? What was it again? A divorce? Or did he just walk out one day when he finally realised who you really are?” I cut in, watching Clara's face turn so red that it looked like she was steaming. Clara’s eyes flared with rage, and in an instant, her hand flew up, aimed straight for my face. But I was faster. I caught her wrist in mid-air, gripping it tightly and holding it in place. Her eyes widened in shock as I held her there, "Don’t you dare." I said, my voice low but steady, "You think you can hurt me? After everything you and your precious son have done, you still think I’m that weak little girl you used to push around?” I tightened my grip on her wrist, "You should be afraid, Clara. Because I’m not done. And when I come for you, for Caleb, for all of you, you’ll regret every single thing you ever did to me." Clara struggled to free her hand, but I held firm. Then, w
