Elaine’s POVThis guy really had no idea that I saved him… After all this time, he actually had no idea that I was the one who... A chuckle escaped my lips. This was funny, it really was so funny. “Is there anything wrong? You look angry.” Caleb questioned, staring at me. I unclenched my fists and smiled at him, shaking my head, “I’m fine, I was just thinking about something but one day, I would very much like to meet this Emily who turned a man like you into a mush head, I would like to hear just how she did it.” I stood up, dusting the not so existent dirt on my clothes, “Farewell, Caleb, it was nice speaking to you and lest I forget, my mother has set a date that you would come into the mansion. It is the twenty fourth of this month so you still have a lot of days to prepare as today is the tenth. I am looking forward to seeing you, Caleb.” I curtseyed slightly before turning around, a frown on my lips. How dare Emily? That bitch was eventually going to die at my hands. Fuck slow
Elaine’s POV “It’s here.” I said to the driver who stopped right in front of the little house that my mother… Selene and I used to stay at. It was still a rundown apartment… Was it even fit to be called an apartment at all? Anyways, that is where I had always stayed even when I was dating Zade, I had only moved out after I got married to Cakeb. My mother moved out as well as Caleb’s grandfather could not bear to see a member of his family live in such a place. However, hearing the noise from inside, it seems she had returned back here, she must have been sent away from the apartment after my divorce. I raised my hands to knock at the door, pausing for a moment to catch my breath and then finally knocked, twice. “I’m coming!” I heard her voice, a voice that I had not heard for so many months. I wondered how she would react if she saw my face after thinking that I was dead. The door opened to reveal a very old and stressed Selene who held a sponge which fell from her hands the mome
“You gave up that right a long time ago.” I said sharply, my voice colder than ice, “Don’t try to crawl back now. You wanted me gone, well, too bad. I’m still here. And on the topic of you being a mother…” I crossed my arm, my eyes narrowing, “Were you ever going to tell me that you were not my moth
Caleb’s Pov“Watch where you are going!” Someone said to me and I scoffed, she was the one who bumped into me so how come I was the one who was supposed to watch where I was going? “Sheesh, he can’t even apologise, look at him, he must be so drunk for him now to know where he’s walking.” The woman who spoke wrinkled her nose, “Let’s go before he starts acting like the drunk man that he is. Come on.” The two women put their arms around each other and shifted away, their eyes filled with derisiveness. I smirked and looked away, they really had no idea who they were speaking to! When I become the husband of Delacroix, then I will take over as the new ruler, they would regret ever speaking to me like this! I turned away and made my way back to where I parked my car and then within a few minutes, I drove off. There was something on my mind, something that I desperately wanted answers for, namely, what Delacroix had said, about Elaine being the one that saved me from that accident. I stil
Caleb’s Pov “Elaine was never the villain, Caleb. She never was.” Grandfather’s voice turned soft, regretful and his eyes were filled with a kind of anger that I did not know if it was directed towards me or to himself. “But you succeeded in pushing her away, as she had ‘cheated’ on you.” This se
Emily’s Pov “Fuck this! Fuck all of this! Arghhh!” I screamed, angrily pushing away everything in sight. The vase shattered against the wall, sending shards across the floor. Papers, books, I could feel the rage boiling under my skin, the anger that was threatening to come out. After everything I
Elaine’s Pov “The father of my child is Caleb, what are you talking about? Everybody knows that…” I cut her off, “Jeremy, Liam, Ethan, Damien, Lucky… Should I continue mentioning the names of those who you have slept with even when you were still with Caleb?” I giggled lightly when her eyes wide
Elaine's Pov “Hold her down.” I ordered and Emily was pushed to the ground, her knees slamming against the ground. A yelp escaped her lips, tears pooling at the corner of her eyes. “I'll repeat myself. First of all, I'm not Elaine. This slap is for you comparing me to that woman.” I raised my hand
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
