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 POVCaleb had called, insisting I come immediately. Now, I stood in the middle of the bar, my eyes wide with shock. An ominous feeling hit me like a wave.The room was filled with strangers, all men, and Caleb sat among them. We’d been together a little over a year, and I’d loved him long b
My mother advanced, closing in on me until she loomed over me. Then she slapped me across the face. “You ungrateful brat! How dare you?” she screeched. I stared at her, stunned and unable to comprehend her ire. “Selena, calm yourself.” My mother-in-law, Clara, shot my mother a hard look. “We’re in

I looked down at the divorce papers scattered across the floor. Caleb had already signed them in his ever-so-elegant handwriting that I used to admire.It was almost funny, actually, how all the work I put into this marriage was thrown away for one woman everyone thought was pure-hearted. Meanwhile,

But then he frowned, his dark eyes unreadable. Without a word, he turned and left the room, his footsteps echo

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,
