Zade's Pov “So in essence, he wanted to matchmake the both of you during this meeting but instead, I came in to spoil his plans?” Elaine smirked, “Truth to be told, that lady is really pretty. If she keeps her foul mouth closed, she's really really pretty. Elaine’s words caught me off guard, and
Author's Pov “I'm so sorry, Miss Hall! Please forgive me! I didn't mean for any of that to happen, you have to believe me!” Mr Jade clasped his hands together, begging. He had a smile on his face that looked more like a grimace, it was so scary. “Get away from me! Wipe that disgusting smile off

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
