Elaine's Pov “Instead… Why don't we bring a doctor in to check if you're actually pregnant? After all, you've been able to deceive each and every one of us. If I didn't find out about it, you would have still continued to use it as leverage.” I said slowly, deliberately, enunciating every word, my
Elaine's Pov “You said you loved me!” Her voice broke, tears streaming down her face as she staggered toward him, but he took a step back, his jaw tightening. She turned toward the crowd then, her gaze wild and unfocused, “They’re all lying! They’re jealous! All of them are jealous of what I have
“You don’t get it, do you?” I said, my voice steady, “This isn’t about being better than you. This is about justice, for everyone you’ve hurt. Including me!” Emily’s breathing grew ragged, her chest heaving as she stared at me with unbridled hatred. Suddenly, she lunged forward, her hands reaching
Elaine's Pov “Thank you for your help, we will get back to you in a few days.” The Police officer declared, his voice loud and clear. Afterwards, they dragged the still screaming Emily out of the mansion, leaving the scene behind. After they left, guests started to murmur. “Caleb’s family is don
Author's Pov The car ride back to Grandfather's mansion was quiet. No one spoke a word, not even one movement. Grandfather's face was serene, calm, blank, as if he wasn't thinking about anything. While Caleb had all sorts of emotions written very colorfully on his face. When they alighted from t
Author’s Pov Grandfather froze, his stick falling to the ground, “Stealing of classified… Ugh…” He fell to the ground from the shock of what he has just heard, sweat dripping down his forehead to his cheek as he stumbled backwards. "Sir!" The panicked cries of the servants filled the room as they
Elaine's Pov A few days later, it was time for the court case and the courtroom was very packed, even more than I had expected. Different people filled the seats, those who Emily had scammed, those who Caleb had scammed, those who were just there to watch the show, and those who were there for me.
Elaine's Pov “Well, it's up to you.” Zade shrugged, “I can't tell you exactly what it is you are going to say but if you do really want to see him then…” Zade made a ‘go ahead’ motion. I sighed, confused. A part of me did want to go and see Grandfather but another part of me didn't, I was confli
“What?” “Is that any way to greet your father, Zade?” His deep voice drawled, a mixture of condescension and feigned warmth. “I don’t see the point of niceties when I know you’re only calling to dictate something I’ll refuse.” I replied sharply. He chuckled darkly, the sound grating against my
Elaine's Pov “So, what next? That woman isn't going to give up, is she?” I questioned, crossing my arms. Elijah had given me the picture of her family, sister, father and assistant and they looked like a bunch of people who never gave up on something they wanted. I could see it in their eyes too.
Jenny was sitting near her back, her hands working her magic in her back, kneading away all the knots and tension in her shoulders. She met her sister’s gaze briefly before lowering her head. “Jenny, leave us.” Mila ordered but no one moved. Mila narrowed her eyes, “Jenny.” “Mila. Say whatever y
Author's Pov “Have you been able to meet the Delacroix Family? What did they say?” The instant Mila entered the car, she was asked by her assistant, Jenna, Jenny's twin. Jenna and Jenny are a part of the family that had served the Hall family for years. Their older brother, Joshua was Mila’s fat
Elaine's Pov As we walked through the grand hallways toward the west wing, my mother glanced at me with a mixture of pride and concern. "You handled Celeste well, but tread carefully.” She said softly, "She doesn’t take kindly to being challenged, and she has a way of making her enemies regret i
The weight of her words hung in the air, but I met her gaze steadily. If she thought she could intimidate me, she was sorely mistaken. “Don’t worry.” I said calmly, “I intend to.” Turning back to my mother, fully intending on ignoring the woman who just barged into the room, I continued speaking,
Elaine Pov “Yes, Master. You and him are a thing, or are you not?” The butler questioned, his eyes drifting from me to Zade and back. I flushed, my face going an amazing shade of red, “Yeah… We are… A thing. Anyways, is mom in?” “Yes. They have been waiting for you for a while. Please come with
Elaine's Pov “Ahh!! I'm back at the capital.” Elaine took a deep breath, taking in the clean air of the capital. It was shocking how the air was cleaner at the capital than at West Drewire. “Did you have to bring so many things?” Zade complained as he locked the trunk of the car, leaning his bod
Author's Pov “So, what you are saying is that Zade Silver is coming back in a few weeks? Where did you get that information from?” “He's wrapping up things in his company at Phoenix and coming back to the capital with his ‘Masked’ Secretary. That was the exact word that Old Sir had gotten from h
