Well! We have gotten to the end of our book. Thank you all for following me throughout this journey as I slowly improve on my writing. Thank you so much once again.
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
Elaine's POVCaleb had called, insisting I come immediately. Now, I stood in the middle of the bar, my eyes wide with shock. An ominous feeling hit me like a wave.The room was filled with strangers, all men, and Caleb sat among them. We’d been together a little over a year, and I’d loved him long b
My mother advanced, closing in on me until she loomed over me. Then she slapped me across the face. “You ungrateful brat! How dare you?” she screeched. I stared at her, stunned and unable to comprehend her ire. “Selena, calm yourself.” My mother-in-law, Clara, shot my mother a hard look. “We’re in
“Elaine, it’s been a long time. So lovely to see you again,” Emily said, her voice sweet and delightful—to them.I took a step back, eyes wide, hands trembling. My gaze darted over to Caleb, lounging on the couch with a huge, beaming smile. But when our eyes met, his smile twisted into something evi
I looked down at the divorce papers scattered across the floor. Caleb had already signed them in his ever-so-elegant handwriting that I used to admire.It was almost funny, actually, how all the work I put into this marriage was thrown away for one woman everyone thought was pure-hearted. Meanwhile,
“It’s you…” I murmured a second time, my eyes still fixed on Zade, trying to absorb his presence. He leaned against the door frame, his golden-rimmed glasses perched on his nose once again. But then he frowned, his dark eyes unreadable. Without a word, he turned and left the room, his footsteps echo
“Why did you come back, Zade?” I questioned sharply. Maybe I was trying to put all of my anger on Zade, maybe I was just scared of becoming who I used to be, or maybe I didn't even know how I was feeling right now. But one thing was clear, deep down, I was glad that he was here. Deep down. Zade's
“Well, well, well, look at what we have here.” One of them spoke, “A woman who is all alone.” “What are you doing here, baby? You should come with us so we'll have some fun. I promise you'll like it.” Another said, stalking towards me. I gulped and shifted back, my voice was stuck in my throat. A

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
