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 It took us two days to get back home and by then, chaos had erupted. It turned out that the night we left, some of the council members had come to forcefully take me away to prepare for the wedding. Against my wishes, they had even set a wedding date which was actually in two weeks tim
Elaine's Pov "Seraphina... Delacroix?" I questioned, looking over to my mother to explain. She sighed and came closer to us. "She's your father's younger sister. After your father died, she locked herself up in her manor and barely came out. However, Seraphina, why are you outside now?" My mother
Elaine's Pov "Have you seen the news that's been circulating? It's about the council of the royal family." "Do you think the royal family themselves know about it?" "They’ve been stealing from us for years and doing all sorts of illegal things.""And using the Delacroix name to do it. How could t
"This is a disaster." I muttered, shaking my head, "What are you going to do about her? Keeping her here like this is..." "I wanted to send her to a mental hospital or bring in someone that could help her but she's not responsive. She refuses to let anyone near her. Every time I bring up sending he
Author's Pov "This is outrageous!" Vivienne slammed her hands on the table, her face red from anger. The other council members around her were quite, but they were also fuming. They had found out about the news which had been circulating on the internet later than Elaine had expected so a lot of da
Elaine's Pov "So that's what they've decided to do... To dig up dirt on the Delacroix which proves they are not too smart. How were they able to stay in power for such a long time?" Elijah questioned coldly, though there was a smirk on his face. Evangeline giggled, she was glowing despite everythi
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
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
