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 “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
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
