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 “A… Alvirez? Why are you asking about her?” Zade eyed me, dropping his hands down from my waist and stepping back. He had a tone of disappointment in his voice but his face looked serious, he was trying to mask his inner feelings. “I went to Caleb's house and I saw her there, stan
Elaine's Pov “What?” I stood up, my other fist clenching, “Are… Are you sure?” I muttered, my voice trembling, “Are you really sure of what you're saying?” “Elaine, this is something important, we wouldn't dare lie to you.” Elijah's tone was soft, almost mocking. I felt my left eye twitch in a
Elaine's POV Zade's hands stopped in mid air, freezing as he took in my words. For a moment, he looked like he was going to deny it but then the slightest flicker of guilt in his eyes told me everything I needed to know. “Ha…” I dropped my hands on the floor, it was like all the strength was zapped away from my body. “Elaine…” He started, his voice low, pained, “It was… You don't understand…” “Oh I think I do.” My voice was stronger now, fueled by raw anger, “You let me think that I was innocent all along, you let me think that I did nothing wrong and that all those accusations were just bullshit but they turned out to be wrong, I had slept with someone else and that person was you! You said that you would never come back here, Zade!” “Oh damn it, Elaine, I came back here because of you! I came back because I wanted to see you, because I missed you!" "You missed me? Zade you left, you were the one who promised that you wouldn't come back, you left!" I screamed at him,
Elaine's Pov Zade’s warm smile made me smile in response to what he said. His hands in mine felt very grounding, like nothing was going to happen while he was here. “I wasn’t sure if you were still in the mood for it.” I replied, my voice lighter than I felt.He tilted his head, studying me for a
Elaine's Pov “Am I interrupting something? And why is my dear sister on the floor shaking like a leaf? Did she do something to you, Elaine?” Katherine questioned, standing beside me, next to Elijah. After this, I was going to become a wingman for both of them. If Katherine could get married to E
Elaine's Pov It was as if a boulder had fallen down on Mila and Jade, the both of them stumbled in shock and horror. I went straight to them, my brother's and Zade right behind me. When I stopped, I beamed at them, stretching out my hands for a handshake. “Mila Hall and Jade, right? I've heard s
“Elaine, although to you and to others, this is just a normal debut, but it's not. You don't know how you went missing and why I spent so much time finding you. There are people in this family who haven't shown themselves. Those who are waiting for you to be officially recognised into this family so
Elaine's Pov. “This is bullshit, you know?!” I muttered angrily under my breath, frowning when a gust of wind flowed into the shed, making my body automatically shiver. Not only was I locked up in a place where it was going to be hard for people to pass through, I was also cold, dirty and smelly.
Elaine's Pov “They’re just people, Elaine. It's not like you've not stood in front of a lot of people before. You literally did this when dealing with Caleb and Emily.” I muttered under her breath, trying to steady my raging nerves. Guests who were dressed in glamorous attires filed into the l
Elaine's Pov “Yours? How noble.” Jade sneered, brushing imaginary dust off his shoulder, “But don’t think for a second that your actions will go unnoticed. Father doesn’t take kindly to being disobeyed, baby brother. You know that better than anyone.” “Like I said, it's your problem not mine. H
Elaine’s Pov “That’s your brother? He’s ugly. Really ugly.” I whispered to Zade who snickered at my words. Truly, to me, this Jade was really ugly, not as handsome as Zade. I stared at him for a while, frowning, even from where he stood, I could smell the amount of female perfume coming from him.
Author's Pov "I am so exhausted." Katherine groaned. She plopped down on her bed, covering her face with her pillow. Going to the Delacroix Mansion was not something she had counted on in her entire life but Elaine made it happen. Mila might have gone there but she no chance to. "Miss. Your sis
