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
Elaine's Pov I cried up until Zade parked right in front of his house. He had changed destinations when I couldn't calm down. “Let's go upstairs so we can take care of your balloon eyes.” He teased, helping me out of the car. I glared at him, though I wasn't sure if that had an effect at all sin
“And yet, here you are.” He countered, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Whatever.” I nudged my shoulders against his playfully. “What are your plans now? I mean, after this, what are you going to do?” “I've never actually thought about that. I guess I was so caught up that I forgot to plan my
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
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"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
