Author's Pov “You're smart Miss, you knew exactly why I saved her.” Selena said sarcastically, “But yes, I was planning on using her to get money for myself. However, days passed, weeks and then months but no one came to claim her. Still thinking that her real parents would eventually come, I took
Elaine's Pov “Elaine, why do you think Katherine is worthy of your support? Just because of what happened between her and Jade? Do you feel pity for her?” Elijah questioned as we walked together. I had visited them earlier since it's been quite some time since I last saw them. “Well, that's a pa
Elaine's Pov We began walking through the mall and Katherine led the way. She must have visited this place previously. Katherine gestured toward a rack of dresses, casually picking one up and inspecting it. "Do you shop here often?" I asked, breaking the silence. "Not as often as I'd like since
Author's Pov “I'll invite you over to the Delacroix Mansion, I hope you answer my call.” Elaine's voice surrounded Katherine in an echo and she smiled, the corner of her lips upturned. “Mistress?” Jenny called out tentatively, wondering why Katherine was smiling. She was hardly ever seen smiling
Author's Pov “What the…” Down the line, Jade was staring at his phone in stunned silence, shock filling his eyes. For the first time since he knew Katherine after what had happened between the both of them, he was completely and utterly speechless. “What the…” Jade muttered, his grip tightening o
Her father sighed heavily, “You don’t understand the kind of man Jade is. He’s not someone we can afford to cross.” “I don't understand? Oh please, I understand most just the kind of person he is. Father, as someone who watched his daughter get raped and then have to get engaged to that same man, I
Author's Pov. “What the fuck?” Jade questioned, his eyes filled with questions as he stared at his phone dumbfoundedly. Did Katherine just speak to him like he was a nobody? Katherine? The Katherine that he had always been able to order around just because she was scared of him? The Katherine that
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"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
