Caleb sighed heavily and pulled away, turning to face me with a hard, unreadable expression, “Emily, stop.”The command was sharp, cutting through the tension in the room like a blade. I blinked, momentarily stunned, “What… what’s wrong?” I asked, trying to keep the tremor out of my voice.He shook
Elaine’s Pov “So, where are you going right now?” “To see a guy.” I said nonchalantly, glancing at Zade who was sitting on my bed from the corner of my eyes. Zade’s brow furrowed, and his jaw tightened, though he tried to keep his expression neutral. I couldn’t help but smirk at the tiny hint of
Elaine's Pov “I'm curious as to what you would have done to me if I had not kept my word.” I asked, leaning forward, my eyes on him. Kevin smirked as he leered at me, his eyes caressing my body. He had a perverted look in his gaze, one that made me want to leave immediately. “Someone like you… I
The absurdity of the moment struck me, and I couldn’t stop the sudden laugh that bubbled up. Killian’s clear logic, paired with the sight of Kevin’s bewildered face as he clutched the card with one trembling hand and stared into the camera, was too much. Kevin’s swollen eye twitched, and for a mome
Aurora's Pov “She had everyone fooled.” Killian said, voice low and grave. His earlier bravado was replaced with a look of concern as he watched my reaction closely, “Elaine, this isn’t just minor deception. She’s been conning people for years, powerful people, dangerous people and she set her eye
Emily’s Pov “Breaking news, popular CEO Kevin Hart has filed for bankruptcy earlier today, his stocks have fallen and his company has moved from top 100 to the bottom last in the country. Although we don’t know what suddenly caused this, there are rumours that he had offended someone higher up as
Chapter 95 Emily's Pov “Why? Why was Landon here? How was he able to find me?!” I muttered in confusion as I ran back all the way to the house. My thoughts were going haywire, my heart drumming against my chest. I needed to leave. I needed to get away from this place! If Landon was able to fin
Elaine's Pov I was angry. So angry that I was seething and I could see only red. How could she try to escape like that?! If I wasn't near, if Landon hadn't told me that it seemed to him that Emily was trying to escape all of it when she saw him, then would she have been able to get out from under
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
