A few hours later, I was sitting on the couch, flipping through a magazine, when a gentle knock sounded on the door. Startled, I got up, glancing at the, curious, I approached the door and opened it. Standing there was a woman who could have been Zade’s twin. Her striking features mirrored his sharp
Elaine's Pov “I missed you so damn much.” Zade whispered, wrapping his arms around Isabella who snuggled deeply, tears gathering at the corner of her eyes. I smiled, shifting back to give them more space. Like I said before, Isabella looked just like Zade, they could even pass off as twins. She
Author's Pov “Have you seen this?! This is the news that is circulating now!” Mr Hall threw his phone to the table, glaring at Katherine. She glanced at the pictures on the phone, her lips pursing. She said nothing, she didn't move, she merely kept her head lowered, eyes on the ground. That was h
Author's Pov “It contains information on the woman Zade Silver had proposed to. Her name is Elaine Winters, she's from a small town in West Drewire.” Mr Hall opened the file, his eyes scanning the papers. Eventually, he handed the paper over to Mila who also read it, afterwards, laughter bubbled in
Author's Pov Mila paced around the room, her heels clacking furiously against the floor. Jenna was staring at her, and not saying a word like usual. “That bitch! That crazy bitch!” Mila muttered, biting her nails, “How dare she do this to me? How dare she?!” “Mistress, your sister…” “Shut up
Elaine's Pov “This. This and this. I'd like to test them all please.” I smiled at an attendant who smiled back at me, she was very easy on the eyes. She took the clothes off the rack and brought them to me. Earlier, Zade had asked me to leave the house, in his words he said I was rotting on the ch
Elaine's Pov “You bitch!” Mila raised her hands. The slap came faster than I expected, and though I tried to step back, her palm still connected with my cheek, the sharp sting sending a jolt through me. My hand flew to my face, covering the burning spot. The store fell silent, the murmurs dying in
The house was unusually quiet, which was a relief. I didn’t have the energy to deal with Zade’s teasing right now. But as soon as I rounded the corner into the living room, I saw him sprawled on the couch, scrolling through his phone. “There you are.” He drawled without looking up, “I was beginning
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
