Elaine's POV “What do you mean by ‘her pregnancy is not real’? I don't understand… The results from the hospital clearly stated that she was pregnant, I saw it with my own eyes.” I pressed on, not believing what I had just heard. “The same way they were able to forge evidence about you cheating and sleeping with another man other than Caleb?” Killian said and his words shut me up real quick. I still had no inkling about that incident so it must be true, it must have been forged. I bit my lips, “But still…” “Elaine, hospital records could be forged. People do it all the time so it's nothing new, however, what Jared said has two meanings. Either the pregnancy is not from Caleb, or she isn't pregnant at all. I am leaning towards the second part of the theory, do you want to know why?” Killian continued, his eyes staring straight at me, there was some sort of unreadable expression in his eyes, like he was daring me to ask him. To know, and something inside me told me that if I a
Elaine's POV “Yes, it is owned by a man named Brown but it was closed down years ago, and his whereabouts are unknown. We're still looking for his whereabouts but it seems he is determined to hide himself, it might take quite a while to figure out where he is.” “I can wait. Once you do, please inform me. If I'm able to get footage of what happened that night, it would go a long way. I'd be able to explain to myself who the person that got me pregnant was.” I murmured under my breath. It was late, really late, I had come here straight from the company, Zade didn't come with me. He said he had something to sort out at the company that didn't involve me. I pouted, crossing my arms, ever since I arrived, everything he did had always concerned me. So right now, I was feeling a bit jealous of whatever was taking his attention. My thoughts were really making me tired, it was hard being in love and not able to show it. “Let's go see mom, she might have been waiting for us to finish, I
Elaine's POV It was pretty breezy, breezier than usual but it was very enjoyable. It was quiet, and from the balcony, I could see the lights in the city and it was beautiful, so beautiful that I began smiling. I leaned forward, trying to check if I could see Zade's mansion from where I was but no matter how much I looked, I couldn't see anything. I sighed, pouting. “He couldn't even call me to ask if I was okay, what a jerk.” I muttered under my breath. “Who couldn't call you?” Someone said from behind me and I turned around, startled. “Lady Evangeline, it's you!” I gasped, holding my chest, “You scared me.” “Come here, Elaine. I apologise if I scared you, but I want to talk to you about something.” Lady Evangeline said softly, wrapping her shawl tightly around her shoulders. Now that she was standing in front of me, and my heart was calm, I could see her clearly. Lady Evangeline was beautiful, like a head turning and heart beating beautiful. Her lithe body and shape weren
Elaine's Pov “The person you were going to get engaged to in the past was Caleb, your ex husband.” “W… what? You… You're lying.” I stammered, and tore open the envelope, hurriedly bringing out the paper. The first thing that caught my eyes was the signature at the bottom of the paper. “Your gr
Caleb's Pov “Who… Who did you say was visiting?” I interrogated my mother who was chewing on her fingernails. She looked alarmed and the pitter patter sounds of the rain dropping on the window sills wasn't helping either. It was really annoying. “The daughter of the Delacroix Family, she's arriv
Elaine’s Pov “Forgive Emily, she's this angry because of something that happened before and it is affecting her emotions. I hope you don't take it to heart, Miss Delacroix.” “Of course not, she's nothing more than child's play.” I retorted and sat cross legged on the sofa, looking around. I ne
Elaine's Pov “Are you crazy?!” Emily screeched, her eyes wide with fear and shock, “I'm pregnant with his child! You're the outsider that came out of nowhere, you can't come in between us!” Emily turned to Caleb, walking hurriedly towards him, “Caleb, surely you can not believe what this crazy wom
Elaine's Pov I strutted to the car that was waiting outside for me, umbrella above my head and the men I brought flanking me at both sides. I felt eyes on me, it was coming from the east side of the house and when I looked up, I saw her. Alvirez. And I instantly put my head down. What the heck
Elaine's Pov "Different headlines. Different stories. Different talks. All in all, we got what we aimed for, right?" I glanced at Elijah who nodded. We were lounging on the patio of our mansion which by the way was renovated to a bigger mansion and then council's part of the building was destroyed

Her once-loyal allies were turning away, slinking toward the exits like rats fleeing a sinking ship. Cowards. She had built them from scratch. She had given them everything, made them who they were. And now, in the face of a little adversity, they were abandoning her? No. No. NO!Her hand shot out
Author's Pov Gasps rang through the entire place as the recording played. Vivienne stared in shock, the corner of her eyes going red."Turn it off! Turn it off!" She shrieked. But no one moved to do so, either they didn't want to or they were frozen in shock. Vivienne growled under her breath and r
"Oh, so you admit it’s your love life!" Jared teased, grinning widely. "Jared!" Elijah snapped, though the tips of his ears turned red again. Zade, who had been quietly observing the lively exchange, finally spoke up, "We need to stay sharp. The council will try to salvage whatever they can at t
Author's Pov The council room was quiet, none of the elders speaking. Each were deep in their thoughts. News had began to circulate, news that they weren't able to control and it didn't help that no matter what they did, they were not able to find something they could use on the Delacroix family, i
Elaine's Pov “Pregnant?” I blinked, staring at him as if he’d just spoken in a foreign language, "W… What?" "You’re about eight weeks along.” He continued gently, his eyes twinkling, "And everything looks healthy. Congratulations." For a moment, I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t even breathe. I tu
Elaine's Pov"So... Have you set a date for your wedding with Zade yet?" My mother asked while wiggling her eyebrows. "We haven't actually. With all the stuff that's going on, we haven't been able to see each other as much as we used to. And it doesn't help that he's always at the company, I barely
Authors Pov "There's nothing?! You've checked and there is really nothing?!" Vivienne questioned, her eyes wide, "But how is that possible? There should be at least something that we can use to..." Vivienne frowned."How about fabricatng evidence against them? If we are able to do that just to thro
