spearheading the meetingXavier POVThe boardroom was colder than usual.Not just the AC.But the stares.I noticed the subtle shift in the air the moment I stepped in.It was faint, but iI caught it instantly, the stiffness in the way the board members sat, the uncomfortable glances and tension that enveloped the room.Elijah's face showed it all, his displeasure on something I was not aware of. That was when I discovered that I was 20 mins late, and the meeting had not yet started.But that was not the worst of it all,I almost, almost stumbled on myself when I discovered that the only empty chair was the head chair that was known to be the mothers position…,but today she was not sitting on her throne of power.My mother’s voice cut through my confusion.“Today’s meeting will be led and spearheaded by Xavier,” she announced, calm and regal as always, her expression unreadable.“Mother you can't …” Elijah made to stand up, but she held a hand, stopping his movement. “I, the matron

leaving the residence Caroline povElijah,” I muttered under my breath as he stepped in, looking fresher than anyone should this early. There was a strange gleam in his eyes, like satisfaction carefully masked behind those concerned eyes of his.“You scared the hell out of everyone,” he said lightly, taking a seat beside the bed like he belonged there.I turned my head away from him.“I’ve made up my mind,” I said after a beat. “I’m leaving. I want out, Elijah.”He raised a brow. “Out?”“I don’t want anything to do with Xavier. Not as a husband. Or relating to anything about him. I’m done being a Johnson.”I could swear I saw his side lips curve up, but as soon as it was there, it disappeared, replaced by his signature smirk. “You sure you want to go through all this alone? I understand if you are overwhelmed…”“I’m used to being alone,” I said flatly, cutting him off. “And I’ll be fine.”“You’ll need a place…”“I’ll find one,” I interrupted. “Preferably far from this estate.”He hes

I turned sharply and stormed toward the main corridor, but I didn’t get far, before I heard a flurry of staggering footsteps

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.
