Arranged Bride For The Lycan King 13
ELINNAOn the drive home, I just kept thinking to myself.Was I ready for them to know that I was alive again?Did I want them to see me and know that I was back?Just as Lily had said earlier, they didn't know that I was here. They didn't know what had happened to me after my marriage.After all, now I had the money and the fame and they couldn't do anything to me.Speaking of my family, I don't know if I should call them that. They hadn't behaved like a family did.But something that Lily had said earlier crossed my mind.“What happened to them? My father, I mean. Lily mentioned getting back at you for something. What is it?”She sighed and looked up from her phone.“That isn't my fault. Your father was pining for a business deal that was supposedly meant to bring his business back on its feet. But then I came into the picture and I took it. The investors liked my pitch more and it really affected his business. Somehow, they think that's my fault.”Well, I guess that means that Lizz

ELINNAIt didn't matter to me that there was a huge chance that Carlisle might know that I was back.Infact, I was glad that he did.Asking people to follow Lizzy around was too psychopath behavior and you needed to deal with it accordingly.That night, I stayed up late and thought about how much things could go sideways if I brought myself out into the public.Of course, I know that there would be great pandemonium and then of course, those people who call themselves my family would want to reach out and ask questions.Right now, the only family I had was my son, Lizzy and my mother. Yes, after I left Lizzy took full custody of my mother's care.And even now that I'm back, I couldn't go see her because I just had a feeling that they may be watching her to see the day that I would come visiting.I didn't want to risk it so Lizzy went to see her on my behalf.“So have you decided if you want to do this?” Lizzy asked me at dinner the next morning.I'd forgotten I'd said yesterday that I

ELINNAI stayed quiet through out the time Lizzy took me up to the first floor.She told me the names and department of all the employees that passed and I watched as they greeted her with a good smile.It showed that she was a good boss.”I hope I didn't make you miss your meeting. It's past nine am.”She looked at her watch.“I told them I was having breakfast with the CEO so we moved it.”The elevator opened and we stepped out into our floor.She pointed across the hall way.“That’s your office. This is mine on this side. Do you want to see your office?”Looking at it from afar, I did want to go in it buy on second thought, I could wait.“Let’s go to yours.”A young girl greeted her as we passed and I figured that was the receptionist for this floor.“Welcome go my office. Have a seat anywhere you want. Because you will be doing a lot of work today. There's a new I vestor in the market. i hear he's rich. I'm not talking new money, those people have too little. I'm talking, old mone

ELINNAI'm sure they were wondering why the hell an assistant was sitting at the table during a very important meeting.More times than I could count, I caught employees staring at me and it did make me a tad uncomfortable.“I don't understand this presentation. What makes this particular supplier different from the others who have messed with this particular product? We are a manufacturing company and when quality is not in the questions, our integrity is thrown out the door. You want to sell this?! Outrageous! What do you think the Boss will say when she sees this rubbish?”Basically, the last supplier had been cutting costs by getting cheap materials and we just found out recently so we had to have thousands of products recalled before any scandals could happen.We could not risk our reputation being damaged because of another person's mistakes.“Should we go to court?” Lizzy asked me because I was the one who had found the supplier and was in direct contact with him.“No, there's

ELINNAIt was the weekend, which meant no work.I woke up late that morning because we'd come back late last night. The car rolled into the compound at 1am. The traffic was that bad.The fact that Stephanie was still up surprised me because I thought she would have been gone or she would be asleep.“Gosh, thank you so much for everything. The traffic was terrible.”She waved it off.“Oh, it's okay, Mrs E. I like being here. Chase slept a few hours ago because he said he wanted to see you but he couldn't make it.”Oh, my baby boy.“Thank you so much, Stephanie. This is your payment and you remember your room right? I can't let you go home at this time. I don't know what's out there.”When she left, I turned to see Lizzy sleeping on the couch still in her heels.“Lizzy!” She jolted away and I laughed “Get up, let's go upstairs.”I finally managed to pull her up from the chair, kiss Chase goodbye and then go to my room.I was left to sleep in that weekend and I was so happy no one bother

ELINNAThe hospital was in the far end of town.It was a hospital that was very popular and was often visited but with money, you can make things go your way.They kept her in a very private room, away from every other patient and only special doctors and nurses were assigned to her. They were made to sign a contract that if they ever spoke a word about who was in the ward or anything of that sort, they could be liable to prison time.I knew it was a lot but I had to keep my mother away from those evil people. Lizzy had already called the security guard outside beforehand that I would be coming over so when I came, they just asked for my ID and let me enter.Once inside, reality hit me.My mother was a few feet away from me on a bed just as she had been the last time I saw her. She was sleeping, I could hear her squeaky snore.She looked better than the last time I'd been here. She has been so thin and sickly that it made me wonder if my mother was going to be alive by the time I got

ELINNAI left the hospital about two hours after that. I didn't want to.leave my mother but when I told her that I had promised my son that I'm would be back early, she agreed to let me go. “You have to promise to bring him with you next time.”“Oh, I do. It's just because of the whole situation right now that I haven't let him outside since we got back.”But at least, now that she knew about him, it was more of an encouragement to let me bring him out. “Mum, I'll see you later okay? I love you. If you need anything, you have my number. Just call right away, okay?” She nodded as I closed the door. It was refreshing to see my mother again and I couldn't help the smile that was plastered on my face as I made my way to the car. It was a little past nine pm. Chase should still be awake. He knew that on the weekends, he could extend his curfew till however long he wanted to stay up. I didn't force him to sleep early during the weekends. I decided to stop by a fast food joint, probably

ELINNA“Make the announcement, Lizzy.”We were sitting at the table that morning and she had been on a work call since six am. I wasn't sure she heard me because she was knee deep in the work she was doing on her laptop but when she raised her head and looked at me with a frown, talking off her glasses and almost dropping them into her bowl of cereal. “What did you say?” “Tell them I'm back.” She looked at Chase first.“Really? Why the sudden change? What's going on? Did something happen?” I didn't think so. I just felt that the whole point of me coming back was to take over. Id been back for over a month and it think it's time for me to do what I came to do. I didn't care if my family or Carlisle heard about it. “Nothing happened. I just want to get to work. There's a lot to be done.”She looked at me for a while before picking up her phone and typing away from it. They couldn't get me or do anything to me anymore. If they tried it, I would be able to fight for myself. I wa

ELINNA“You can still eat while they work. I know it may look overwhelming but it's not.”Yeah, easy for him to say. He wasn't the one who had to sit down and be their doll. I didn't have this much of a crew when I had to do the press conference. “Just go, sit down and let them work. They have to be done with you in an hour.”An hour? And here I was thinking that they would be done in half an hour at most. The fact that the elders were already waiting for me was funny. Because they would be expecting me any moment now, and here I was, not looking anything like a Queen. With that in mind, I walked over and sat in the chair, holding my breath as they approached me with their makeup brushes and hair brushes and spray cans. They did allow me to eat. However, they had to feed it to me at intervals which was very uncomfortable. With my eyes closed, I didn't even know when they were done and I was scared to open my eyes , because the last time I did, one of the ladies almost bit my head

ELINNA “Gomez, I don't think I can do this. Just tell them that the King can't see them right now. What do I know about the present situation? I can't go there and embarrass myself. I mean, what do you want me to say? Give them a yes or no verdict? What if they don't listen to me? I'll look like a fool. I can't take that risk. Besides, the only time they've ever seen me was at the wedding. And they probably know about the divorce. I don't think they will want to hear anything from me. The wedding is obviously invalid. What will-” “My Queen!” I hadn't even realized that I had been shouting until I heard that. The car was finally silent and I just sat there, staring at the road. I was not the Queen. I never was. And I never will be. “You married the King, Mrs Evergreen. You are the Queen. And no, they don't know about the divorce. The King kept that a secret from everyone else. So to them, you're still the Queen.” I wanted to ask him if he was pulling my legs but I knew that

ELINNA As I made my way into the house, my stomach churned. I didn't feel so good anymore and the warning bells were going off in my head, telling me to go back because I was showing to be in a house alone with Kesian. “Don’t worry about it. Go, I'll make sure it take care of things. He won't harm you and if it even crosses his mind, I put him down before he can succeed.” With Ice's reassuring words in heart, I was finally inside the house. Kesian was in the dining room with his back turned away form me. “You know if you were going to make me a meal, you shouldn't have let me go. It's not safe for em to be driving at night.” He didn't move and it didn't seem like it was him I was talking to. Either way, I made my way to the seat, sitting down at the exact place where I had been sitting earlier that day. The food laid out before did smell divive and it made me wonder where he got it. Did he ask a maid to prepare it or did he do some magic and this happened? Either way, no mat

ELINNA I lodged in a hotel. There was no way that I could let myself go back home when I knew that something was going to go very wrong if I did. Even though I didn't know what they were planning, I couldn't help but feel a slight sense of responsibility. Carlisle didn't have control over his body and it was up to me to protect him. I know that he'll trust me to do so and I couldn't let him down. I couldn't leave him at the hands of that thing. I didn't know what damage he would do. I'll be here to keep an eye on him. Hopefully, he leaves quickly so Carlisle and I can go back home. The fact that it seemed like he was so untouchable kept me on the edge. I mean, so far I hadn't found out anything that could help me in bringing him down. Yes, I knew about him and I knew his motive and what he was pining for but that didn't mean that I had won this. Infact, it seemed like he was always a step ahead of me. If this was how things were going to keep going, then I didn't have a

ELINNA What did I know that I was doing? I'd told Carlisle to trust me, that I knew what we were doing but as we approached the gate of his old house, I began to wonder what I would do if this whole situation had gone out of control. Kesian had already made it clear that he wasn't a fan of me and that he wanted to kill.me so if he actually did attack me, what would I do? I'd asked Ice to be dormant, meaning that she couldn't just jump out of thin air. Why had I come here in the first place? There was something I wanted to try. As we got down from the car, I felt the urge to tell Carlisle the truth. I was setting him up for a trap and I might as well let him in on it so he wouldn't just be out in the open.. “Carlisle, there is something I want to tell you.” He stopped walking and turned to me..I could see his eyes even in the darkness. Safe to say Kesian hadn't caught unto us yet. He closed the distance between us. “What is the matter? Do you sense him?” I shook m

ELINNA We met up later that night. Well, evening because the sun hadn't fully gone down. When I saw him get down from his car, I patiently waited for Gomez to come out after him but when I didn't see him, I let out a sigh of relief. I didn't have anything against the guy but this time, I just wanted it to be just Carlisle. “You ready?” He nodded. I could feel his eyes still on him as I walked past him to his car but I didn't turn around or say anything because I didn't feel like talking yet. The first hour after he started driving was quiet. I was on my phone texting Lizzy, coming up with a lie about where I was going to be for at least a week and hoping that she would believe it when he pulled me out of my thoughts. “How're things at your company? Are other investors still giving you a headache?” I looked up from my phone before shaking my head. “No, no one has said anything about leaving but it doesn't mean the other investors don't know about it.” He looked at me.. “Yo

Carlisle The news had finally gotten to me. What Emily had been talking about had just happened. They'd come to tell me about the shipment and how they needed my help with it. Just as I was starting to get lost in my thoughts, my phone rang. I picked it up, expecting it to be Gomez or Alex but it was Elinna. "Hey, Carlisle. I was thinking we should meet up and talk." I raised an eyebrow, wondering what she wanted to talk about "What's on your mind?" I asked, trying to wonder if there's an issue. "I just wanted to discuss some things with you," she said. "Maybe we could grab coffee or something?" I nodded, even though she couldn't see me. "Sure, that sounds good," I said. "When were you thinking?" "How about now?" she asked. "I'm free if you are." I glanced at my watch, wondering what was happening. "I'm good," I said. "Where do you want to meet?" We agreed on a different place this time since the usual place didn't serve coffee. and I hung up the phone, feeling a sense

ELINNA My phone's loud ringing snapped me out of the delirium that I was in. I answered it, expecting it to be Lizzy, who had left the house all day. But instead, it was a call from the hospital. "Hello?" I said, my voice calm. "Elinna, this is the hospital. We've had your father brought in and we'd like you to come down to see him," the nurse said. My heart sank as I heard the words. "What's wrong?" I asked, rising to my feet. "He's in critical condition," the nurse replied. "We need you to come down to the hospital as soon as possible to see him." I quickly got up and grabbed my keys. "I'm on my way," I said, already heading out the door. As I drove to the hospital, my mind was racing with thoughts of my father. What was he sick with? Was he going to survive it? If anything happened to him, Lily and Gin will pay for it. When I arrived at the hospital, I rushed to the ICU unit where my father was being kept. I saw him lying in the bed, hooked up to machines and tu

CARLISLE Since Alex couldn't give me answers, maybe the reporter could. Besides, if he had used his brain and not sent those pictures, this wouldn't be happening. “We meet again. Do you have answers for me now? Who sent you those pictures? " I asked, trying to seem calm. The reporter was already sweating. "I-I didn't know who sent me the information, sir.” I raised an eyebrow. "You didn't know?" I repeated "How convenient." I nodded to my men, who stepped forward and started beating the reporter. He cried out in pain as they punched and kicked him. After a few minutes, I signaled for my men to stop. The reporter was gasping for breath, his face bruised. "Now, let's try this again," I said, stepping closer "Who sent you the information?" The reporter shook his head, looking like he was about to pass out. "I-I don't know, sir," he whispered. I sighed, nodding to my men again. They continued the beating, stopping and starting several times. Each time, I would ask the rep
