AUTHOR’S POV

The fallout from Isla’s scandal was immediate and unforgiving. In a few hours, people had posted clips from the party and it went viral immediately.

Social media and news outlets were eager to release stories about Isla and her pristine image being a farce. Her reputation had crumbled like ash sprayed in the wind.

Brands that were affiliated with her began releasing statement promising their customers to cut all ties with her. Promotional videos, photos, billboard ads were all being taken down.

Even her film and TV show appearances were being halted. Directors, investors and studios were blacklisting her, eager to make sure the damage didn’t indirectly get to them as well.

Isla’s career was done and her fall was the biggest scandal the industry had ever witnessed in years.

Just like that, Isla Remington had turned from being the golden girl of the big TV and was reduced to a snake.

On the other hand, Elle Davenport didn’t care. She didn’t even read any news o

    AUTHOR’S POV Victoria was mad. It was evident in the way she had turned her office upside down as she looked for anything to let out her anger. Files were scattered all over the floor, and a mug that had been thrown against the wall lay shattered on the floor while she paced the office furiously, her eyes reading the notice all over again as though that would change the content of the notice. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, VICTORIA BLACKWELL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM HER POSITION AS HEAD OF MANAGEMENT AND HAS BEEN REPLACED BY ELLE DAVENPORT BLACKWELL. “I’m going to kill that bitch” she screamed as her hands pulled her hair painfully. “This is war. She has just declared a war and I will make sure she feels my wrath. She made a big mistake” Her hands trembled as she reached for her phone on the table. Her usual calm demeanour was nowhere to be found. At that moment, Victoria didn’t care about how she looked. All she knew was that she would do anything to make sure she wasn’t tossed aside. “Wh

    ELLEI sat at my vanity while brushing my hair when a knock came. I knew it couldn’t be Sophie since she never knocked before she walked in. She had gone back to her room to get some files and my schedule for the day and to also make a few calls.I wanted to ignore it, knowing it would either be Theon or Victoria and I didn’t want to deal with them at least not this early in the morning, but I decided to answer and see what it was about. “Come in” I called and dropped the brush I had been using before turning to the door to see who would walk in. Victoria walked into my room with a controlled smile on her face. She still had that carefully crafted elegance she always had. I raised a brow in surprise at the image in front of me. “Elle, darling” she began with her usual fake smile that I couldn’t even bother to return “Thank goodness I caught you before you left for work” I eyed her suspiciously. Victoria had never come to my room ever since we got married so I was surprised that

    ELLEThe moment I entered the dining room, I knew something was off. Everyone had turned to me as soon as I entered, and the tense atmosphere warned me that they must have been talking about me before I arrived.I paused at the door, an amused smirk on my face and let my eyes sweep across the room.Theon sat on his usual seat at the head of the table, his expression unreadable as he glanced at me briefly. Julian sat two seats away. And to my surprise, Charles and Reginald were also present.I should say Julian was the surprise since he wasn’t family, and Victoria had said she was organising the dinner for family.“I didn’t know Julian was family,” I mused. “I thought the dinner was for family”Julian arched his brows at my comment but said nothing. He hadn’t done anything to me, but I didn’t like the feeling I got around him. Something told me always to be careful around him.“Julian is like family, so it is only right that I invite him,” Victoria answered with a smile, and it was the

    AUTHOR’S POVAfter Elle Davenport had walked out angrily instead of having dinner, Laura knew she couldn’t stay, so she excused herself and left the house as fast as she could.She couldn’t believe her eyes. That was Eleanor, even though she tried to deny it. She knew Eleanor like the back of her hands, but if Elle denied it, it meant something more was happening than met the eyes.She hurried back to the Sterlings' Estate. She had to tell her former employees that Miss Eleanor was back and hoped they took it well.Though they had never spoken of Eleanor after she disappeared, Laura assumed they would be happy to know their daughter might still be alive.The cab dropped her in front of the huge gates, and she paid the driver before scurrying off inside the compound.“Laura,” Mr James, who tended to the garden, called from a distance, hoping to greet her, but she waved him off as she had more important tasks to tend to.Her hands trembled from the weight of what had happened tonight, an

    ELLETheon was changing. I didn’t know if he was aware of the little things he did, but I noticed. He stayed closer to me when we were outside, his eyes lingered whenever our gazes met, and let’s not even get started on the way there was always an edge to his voice whenever someone, especially a male got too close to me. I didn’t know what got into him, but it was amusing to see. I doubt he knew what was happening. “Mrs Davenport” a voice said, pullong me out of my thoughts and I focused on the man who had called me. I was currently in a meeting for a potential collaboration with Diba, a luxury fashion brand that wanted to open its flagship stores in all our malls across the country. For some reason unknown to me, Theon decided to come with me to the meeting. He sat at the head of the table, calm and collected, while watching Bryant, the operations manager of Diba, who sat beside me. “I’ve heard a lot about you.” Bryant took my hand, and Theon’s eyes flickered with something unr

    ELLEIt started with a bottle of perfume.I wanted to go for something subtle but familiar. I placed it on the table in the living area of our suite because it was somewhere the perfume wouldn’t be missed. I had worn it often when I was Eleanor, and I remembered Theon telling me countless times that he liked the scent.I didn’t know if he meant it then or if he was trying to be nice, but I guess I will find out soon. I sat on the couch at the far end of the room, waiting for him to come out of his bedroom.Theon came out shortly, and I saw the moment his eyes zeroed in on the perfume. He stilled, narrowed his eyes, and took hesitant steps towards the table to pick up the bottle.“This perfume,” he murmured as he inspected the bottle. “Is this…?”“What’s wrong?” I asked, brows drawn together in confusion. “Is something wrong with my perfume?”“It’s yours?” he asked, holding the bottle towards me. “When did you start using this perfume?”“Why are you asking?

    THEONI subconsciously adjusted the cufflinks on my suit as I stepped into Lockwood Academy's grand hall. The hall was impressive and designed to showcase the school's exclusivity. Heads turned with my entrance, and I could identify a mixture of admiration and curiosity in the eyes of both the students and the teachers present. Lockwood Academy was a school I had invested in back in the day. It was meant to be a hushed investment, but my name still managed to make its way into some inner circles. I guess it would be right to say my investment shaped Lockwood Academy into what it is today. It went from a mid-tier to an elite school, and I was proud of how far it had come with my support. I was motivated to invest in the school because I wanted my children to attend it one day, so this was me making future investments before they came. The principal, Mrs Luther, rushed towards me with an eager smile. Her hands were extended as she greeted me. “Welcome, Mr Blackwell. Thank you for t

    THEONI told myself it was nothing, but that was the biggest lie I had ever told. Before I knew it, I was back in my car, headed for Lockwood Academy again.I had called Mrs. Luther early in the morning to inform her that I would be coming to the Academy to check out a few things and discuss something with her.That was a lie. The truth? I couldn’t get Milo out of my head.I couldn’t understand why, and it was absurd, if you asked me, because he was just a kid I met yesterday. He was supposed to be another of the numerous kids I encountered daily, but this one stuck.His eyes that looked oddly familiar and sparked with curiosity. The way he held on to me and bounced excitedly when we talked. It felt like I knew him forever, like he was mine.I had told my assistant to clear my schedule for the rest of the day because I didn’t plan to go back to the office. If I could, I might spend the rest of the day at the school.Work could wait. Whatever this strange pull was I had towards the kid

    AUTHOR’S POVAmanda couldn’t believe this was her life. She had always watched the Blackwells on TV and envied their luxurious life while she hatched her plan to take over Eleanor’s identity.She never would have imagined that she could pull the plan off with the help of Mira, the mother of the very woman whose identity she was using now. That had made her plan so much easier.Amanda didn’t care about Mira's intentions when she decided to help her. All that mattered was that she had her hands on wealth and would never let anyone, not even Mira, take it away from her.“Thank you, Eleanor,” Amanda whispered as she stood at the top of the grand staircase “Please remain dead or whatever. Don’t ever try to come back, or I will be forced to send you back. Permanently”She descended the stairs like a queen surveying her kingdom, her chin lifted high and a victorious smirk on her lips. She was giddy and wanted to scream in excitement, but she needed to control herself.Eleanor had grown up in

    ELLE“What do you think will happen?” Soph asked over the phone which was on loudspeaker and sitting on my makeup table.“Really?” I scoff with an eye roll, “We already know that test would show that Theon is the father.”“I know,” she sighed, “But what next?”“I don’t know,” I answered with a shrug," but I bet they would force Theon to take responsibility for the child, which he would.”“She is smart. I got to give her that” Soph commended. “Jer said to give him some time, and then he can get her info for you. I’m still surprised how she managed to get your pregnancy results.”That had been nagging me ever since that night. I had thought of countless possibilities for how she could have known.Was she a stalker who had been watching me before I was disowned after finding out we looked alike? Did she work with my family’s hospital? I took the last one out because the doctor would have told me if someone looked like me in the hospital.I reminded her, “I want him to focus on his exams

    THEONI never thought a piece of paper could feel so heavy until this moment. The paternity results sat heavy in my hands, having being handed to me by the doctor a few seconds ago. I had been so confident a few minutes ago that the result would be negative. I wanted it to be but the words ‘positive’ stood out in a mocking font.I read the paper over again, hoping it would change but the same word stared at me, not changing. Eliza was mine.“So, she is yours?” Julian whispered from where he stood beside me. He had offered to come with me when I told him I was coming to get the paternity test results. “According to the test, yes” I sighed.I lifted my gaze towards Mira and Eleanor. Mira had a smirk on her face, not bothering to conceal the smugness radiating off her. She hadn’t stopped telling me I was wasting my time because Eliza was mine. She was so confident and now, she was right. Beside her, Eleanor looked relieved. Her eyes watered as she exhaled shakily and clasped her ha

    ELLE“Say what you want to say here,” Theon demanded again.Eleanor glanced at me first, then the guests and back to Theon with fake nervousness in her eyes.“Not here.” She insisted, “I don’t know what you think I want to say to you, but I can guarantee you that it is not something you would want me to say here”Theon raised a brow but gestured towards her “Then lead the way”Theon pulled me gently, but Eleanor stopped when she realised I was coming with them. She eyed me with obvious irritation and turned to Theon.“I meant just you,” she said with barely restrained frustration. “It’s something sensitive”“If Elle is coming, and it’s not up for discussion,” Theon coldly told her, much to my surprise. Since when did my husband fight for me?I knew better than to think he did it out of affection. Something told me Theon was trying to make her jealous.He wanted her to see that he was happier without him. I was delighted to play along while his plans worked magic.Eleanor’s eyes burned

    ELLEI didn’t expect Theon to agree to go with me to the gala hosted by my parents, but I guess he also wanted to see who this Eleanor was.He hadn’t said anything since he agreed to accompany me to the party.“Are you okay?” I asked, hiding a smirk.Theon turned to me with a frown. He eyed me silently before focusing on the road.He had decided to drive us to the party instead of a driver, and I had no complaints.I must admit that it was a bit unnerving how quiet Theon had become. He wouldn’t answer any of my questions; neither did he even glance my way.Should I say I hated it that he was ignoring me?No. That wasn’t it. I enjoyed it. I loved how rattled he looked.He was obviously affected by the news of Eleanor’s return, and I anticipated the look on his face when he would finally meet her.My eyes fell on his hands, which were tightly gripped against the wheel. His knuckles were almost white, and his brows were furrowed.The sight brought a pleased smile to my face. The almighty

    THEONI was buried in contracts, trying to forget everything that had happened a few days ago. I was holding back from going back to see Milo, and I couldn’t get Elle’s expression out of my head.She had looked close to falling apart when I asked her if Milo was her son. I could still see how her hands trembled when she warned me to stay away from him. I still didn’t know if he was the same as the boy, but her reaction told me I may be right.The door to my office flew open, hitting the wall “What the fuck, Julian?” I growled, not appreciating the barge into my office like it was a marketplace.“You are here and everything is falling apart” He practically growled at me “You need to stop burying your head in files all the and actually keep up with shit that happens”“I don’t see why I should”, I sighed.“This,” he slammed his iPad on my table and pointed at it “This is why you should always know what the fuck is going on around you”I looked at him with an arched brow, wondering what wa

    ELLE“Hey Ellie boo” Jeremy sang as he burst into my office like it was his workspace and I rolled my eyes at his bright energy this early in the morning.“What do you want? Have you found an alternative school for Milo yet?” It’s been days since my argument with Theon, and I have avoided him like a plague ever since.Or maybe he was the one avoiding me? Who cared? All I knew was that I had not seen him since, and I was relieved. I didn’t think I could look at him and not want to hurt him.Was I overreacting? Maybe, but I would never let him find out about Milo.“I think you should change your mind,” he said, dumping himself on the couch and reaching for the bag of chips Sophie had kept on the table.“About what?” I asked with a frown.“Pulling Milo out of Lockwood,” he said, and I glared at him.“I can’t believe you are saying this.” I hissed, “Don’t you know why we are doing this?”“I know, but we have to consider what Milo wants as well.”“Why?” I asked, “He shouldn’t care about wh

    AUTHOR’S POVMira Sterling paced the length of her spacious and extravagant bedroom with a frown. She was seething and could barely control the fury that was simmering underneath her controlled expression.“The audacity of that small fly to walk me out of her office,” She fumed. “She dismissed me like I was nothing.”Mira could not calm down. That woman, Elle or whatever she called herself, had humiliated her by calling security to drag her out like some lowlife beggar.“I will make her regret treating me like that,” she swore. “Everything is happening because of that useless child of mine. If she had married Theon instead, I wouldn’t have to encounter brats like this one.”Mira took a seat on her bed. Since she returned from Elle’s office two days ago, she had been continuously seething. She hadn’t been able to calm down because she kept thinking about that day.No one dared speak to her since they saw how prickly she was. Not even her husband, who left on a business trip this morning

    ELLEI stormed out of the mansion without a clue as to where I wanted to go next. All I knew was that I had to be far from Theon before I lost it.“The keys!” I screamed at the driver standing by the car. When he handed them over, I snatched them from him and drove out of the compound like a mad woman.My hands were clenched so tightly around the steering wheel that my knuckles turned white. Theon’s words played in loops in my head, and I couldn’t stop it.I dialled Sophie. “Meet me at the house,” I told her as soon as she answered the call.“Elle?” her voice was laced with worry and confusion “What’s going on?”“Just meet me there. I can’t talk,” I told her, ending the call before she could ask another question.The drive to the house was fast and dangerous, and it was a miracle I made it in one piece, but right now, my safety was the least of all my worries.I knocked loudly on the door, and Jeremy opened it shortly.“Ellie?
