ログインElgin:I only spared Silver a brief glance before walking past the father-daughter duo and heading straight to my study.“Did you see the look on his face?” my mother snapped at me, acting as if it were somehow my fault that he was becoming the council leader.“I know. That cocky bastard managed to climb his way into power once again,” I muttered, clenching my fists until my knuckles cracked.“I should be considered for the council leader position too,” my mother snapped the moment she entered the room, clearly annoyed.To be fair, my mother had worked hard for this community.She had organized charities and had always been involved in major decisions.So the fact that they approached Silver’s father instead of my mother honestly felt rooted in misogyny.“Don’t worry,” I told my mother as I turned toward her. “You heard about Lord William passing away, right?”My mother’s eyes widened slightly, as if she had already understood what I was implying.“I’ll recommend your name next,” I sa
Elgin:I had never imagined life could turn into something this beautiful.Rosetta was everything that had been missing from my life.She was beautiful, wise, and calm in a way that reminded me of Madeline.Even the way she handled situations carried the same grace.I had not spent much time with her, but a few hours were enough to understand the kind of woman she was.Her words carried maturity and intelligence, unlike Silver’s constant childishness.Talking to Silver always made me feel like she had never truly grown up.Rosetta, however, filled the emptiness Madeline had left behind.At least until Madeline ended up back in my hands.When I returned home, I told my mother about my decision.At first, she was shocked and nervous because she feared Silver might tell her father everything, and he would demand the pack back.I assured her that it was impossible.No matter what they did, they could never take the pack away from us.After that, my mother became genuinely happy.Both of u
Silver:“Father, there’s bad news,” I whimpered, hoping I could tell him everything about Madeline and that he would somehow find a way to save me.Because if Madeline got her hands on that fucking idiot Robert, he would tell her, or worse, the council members, that I was the one who started the entire hate mob.But it looked like my father had news of his own.“Yeah, I heard,” my father uttered, making me frown.“They took Lord William to the hospital.”The moment he said that, my jaw dropped.I thought he was dead.What the fuck did he mean they took him to the hospital?It felt like every single plan I had made was backfiring on me.My father kept looking at my face, trying to understand why I was so upset about Lord Williams.The moment I covered my face with my hands and sank onto the couch, panic crossed his face.“It’s okay. He’ll be fine,” my father murmured quickly as he sat beside me and held my hands.I slowly shook my head while quiet sobs escaped my mouth.I had never fel
Silver:I rushed toward him, and before he could grab the inhaler, I caught the old man by his hair from behind.Grabbing him by the neck next, I shoved him to the floor.I knew I was committing a terrible crime, but I was doing it to save myself.The moment he hit the floor on his back, a shiver ran through me.I had done many terrible things before.I had manipulated people into turning against each other.I had started fights and plotted conspiracies.I had even used children to create conflict with Madeline’s children and played a part in getting Madeline rejected.But this was different.What I was about to do was a serious crime.I was attacking a council leader.The moment he fell, his eyes widened.He stared at me, probably trying to process what I had just done.“What are you doing?” he gasped, stumbling over his words.He tried to turn over and push himself up with his hands, but I planted my foot on his shoulder and forced him back down again.My heels were high, so I tried
Silver:“Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that even if Madeline no longer wants to help the children, you don’t have to bend over backward for her. I’m here to help,” I stated confidently, pressing both my hands against my chest to sound sincere and kind.But he quickly dismissed that idea with a shake of his head.“No. It’s not just about helping the children. I want Madeline found, and I want justice for her because that child deserves it.”His voice turned stern, almost as if he was offended that I had spoken about her that way.“Anyway, I’ll need your blood so I can compare the DNA with the tears.”He slipped that statement casually, but goosebumps immediately prickled across my skin.I had not expected this dumbass to ask for a DNA test.At that moment, looking at him made me so angry that I wanted to grab him and start hitting him.But I knew I could not afford to do that.For now, I had no choice but to rely on his mercy.“I guess you don’t understand the severity of this,
Silver:Lord William’s time was very precious.I also knew he was an extremely judgmental man. Winning him over was not easy.I knew very well how he had always stood in support of Madeline.He had always spoken in her favor.That was why, when I came to meet him today, I tried to choose my words very carefully.And for me, the worst part was that Lady Abigail could not make it.If she had been here, fooling her would have been much easier because she naturally hated Madeline, just like everyone should.But I was also aware that most of the time, that woman could act foolishly too.Now only two council leaders were left, and because of that, getting their approval was extremely important for me.“Well, Silver, I didn’t expect you to come here asking for a meeting with me, but when your royal beta told me you wanted to see me, I asked him to send you in so I could hear what you have to say.”Lord William arrived looking tired.It seemed as if he had not even bothered changing from his
Madeline:“What is the matter with you?” Graham hissed.“It has nothing to do with you, Baxter. Step aside. You are getting married soon,” Graham said, gesturing for him not to interfere.But it seemed he had forgotten something Baxter was about to remind him.“And you are already married, so what
Baxter:I returned to my room alone. No one accompanied me, and it didn’t seem like anyone was required, just maybe someone.But that someone had not only drifted away from me and moved on, she had done so many years ago.Or perhaps she had never been attached to me enough to move on in the first p
Madeline:We had come to Ron’s place for lunch, and so far, everything was going well.However, I had noticed a few things. One of them was that Sawyer didn’t seem very interested in talking to anyone.At the same time, I also noticed that Lady Riva, Ron’s grandmother, wasn’t taking part in the con
Madeline:“And do you hear that water very often?” I asked the kid, and he timidly nodded.“Okay, that will be it. Do you like chocolates?” I asked again, and after an hour-long interview, he finally smiled, though there was pain hidden behind his innocent grin.“Good thing I brought you plenty. An
