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 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
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'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
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
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
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.
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
