    searching for himCaroline povI sat down after my dance with Elijah, sitting elegantly, legs crossed, chin held high…, a real definition of what a woman is. I continued to observe the ongoing party in front of me, catching the stunned looks and whispers from people that I thought I didn’t see. I smiled downing the red liquid in one go. The buzz traveled down in an electrifying manner, setting my chest region Ablaze, just like it wanted.Let them watch, and whisper…, Caroline of the past would have been scared shirtless and would want to know what they were whispering about, but now, I didn't care. I was done playing the quiet Caroline.Not when I now realize that I have been used and played all this time. My palm continued to tingle from the andreanline of having to stand up to Xavier. I could feel his eyes almost boring a hole through the back of my head. Then came the worst, the pretending. My dance with Elijah was nothing short of mutual benefits. Even though I know I should

    Xavier’s POVThe lights were blinding.But not as blinding as the burning ache in my chest.The crowd erupted into warm applause as we made our grand entrance. Joeline on my arm, Felix clutching my other hand, and my Mother practically trailing behind us, grinning from ear to ear like she was parading a damn royal court.Felix laughed, oblivious to the chaos and the tension hidden behind the haooy faces in the room. Not all were happy that I was cementing my position as the heir to my father's legacy. Especially the likes of my brother Elijah, but it still baffles me that he was yet to make a move. And that scares me even more.I scoped Felix in my hands, sharing in his sweet innocent smile that was like the only ray of sunshine in my dark world. His innocence was the only pure thing about tonight. I kissed the top of his head, forcing my lips into a smile, even though my whole body was on high tension and alertness.Joeline leaned in, whispering some sweet nonsense in my ear and

    Expect warCaroline’s POVThe Johnson estate had never looked more regal and beautiful.Velvet drapes and glistening chandeliers lined the corridors. The already white sparkling marble was repolished to the point of perfection. The undual empty vast space of the estate was packed full of sleek and expensive cars. every corner of the mansion radiated grandeur and splendor.Laughter echoed in the air, orchestras played soft classical tunes, and the scent of exotic roses. All imported, hung heavily in the air like perfume.Everyone was dressed like royalty, all spotting a happy and joyous face, and yet… I felt like a ghost in a palace where everyone wears a mask.I smoothed the edges of my dark blue silk gown. I loved the way the fabric felt so cool and smooth under my skin.

    Brake inCaroline’s POVThe room was quiet, save for the sound of my shaky breathing. I slammed the door shut behind me and struggled to drag my tired, frail body to the bed before I collapsed on the floor. The weight of everything was too much, I pressed a hand to my forehead in a bid to stop the frantic headache that was shattering my skull. My chest felt hollow. Like someone had scooped out my insides and replaced them with dread.But all this didn't equal the coldness that had taken root inside me. It even gives me the creeps to think about it.The secret documents I had seen, The undeniable sigil of the Vortigan, and then worst of it the tattoo on the girl's arm.The girl in the pictures… the girl who looked like me.
