Elaine's Pov “Am I interrupting something? And why is my dear sister on the floor shaking like a leaf? Did she do something to you, Elaine?” Katherine questioned, standing beside me, next to Elijah. After this, I was going to become a wingman for both of them. If Katherine could get married to E
Elaine's Pov Zade’s warm smile made me smile in response to what he said. His hands in mine felt very grounding, like nothing was going to happen while he was here. “I wasn’t sure if you were still in the mood for it.” I replied, my voice lighter than I felt.He tilted his head, studying me for a
Elaine's Pov “Never.” I finished, looking right into Vivienne’s eyes. She huffed, anger flashing across her face. “I hope you stay true to your words because by the time we're done with you, you'll regret not listening to us.” She said in a low whisper that only the both of us could hear before
Elaine's Pov “The Baron's daughter? For what reason?” Jared asked and I stared at him. Mother had never told them this before? “They wanted your father's power to decrease as he was getting too powerful, had too many allies. After he had gotten married to a Baron's daughter, I was cut off from c
Elaine's Pov "The elders are waiting for you inside." A servant who stood outside the door ushered me in, she opened the large mahogany doors, inside were all the elders, including the ones who didn't come to my debut party that night. I only recognised Vivienne out of them all but I was able to pu
Howard puffed up, clearly mistaking my words for genuine praise, “Thank you, Lady Elaine. I...”I raised a hand, cutting him off, “Oh, I wasn’t finished.” My voice remained sweet, but the smile on my face hardened slightly, “You see, I’ve had a lot of time to think these past few days. About my fami
Elaine's Pov"Wait! Lady Elaine, hold on!" Lord Howard yelled from behind me. I groaned, but didn't stop, I couldn't stop. I had to leave this place. However, he was taller than me which meant he had long legs than I did which in turn meant that he could catch up to me faster as he was running and I
Elaine's Pov The journey to Kale was long and I felt very tense, Zade sat beside me in the carriage, his hand resting on mine for comfort, while Jared sat right in front of us. He was the only one who came along with us as Elijah and Killian had to stay back to deal with the council and whatever qu
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
