Arranged Bride For The Lycan King 18
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

ELINNAI should have known that today was going to be the most eventful day of my life.As soon as we got down from the car, the first thing that hit me was the bright light from the cameras.There were so many news crews and the way they were pushing each other with the microphones and cameras was so crazy.“Mrs Evergreen, look here!”“Elinna, how did you make your money before this?”“What school did you attend?!”“Are you single?”We finally managed to push past the crowd and go in. I was presented with a bouquet when I walked in.“Mrs Evergreen, my name is Raj Gupta and I'm the Head of HR. It's a pleasure to finally have you visit us.”All I could do was smile as they all introduced themselves.“I can not thank you all enough for working in their company since its inception. You have all believed in the dream that we had and today, we can happily say that we have built something beautiful. During my time abroad, I heard of how hard you worked and I'm grateful. Now that I'm back, y

ELINNAI looked at the crowd, hoping to find the person who had asked the question.“What did you say?”The man stood to his feet.“Are you related to Carlisle Evergreen, Textile business Mogul?”Was that a trick question or what?I stared at the man, hoping to figure out whether I had seen him before or if he was one of Carlisle's men. It had been so long. Even if I had seen him before, I would have forgotten anyone I met back then.I took a deep breath and leaned into the microphone.“No, no relation.”“So how do you explain your title and your surname?”Why was he so particular about my name?“I would not be commenting about my personal life at this time. If you have any other questions, please refrain from certain personal topics.”Thankfully, till the end of the whole thing, no one asked me any questions that threw me off guard.“Thank you all so much, it's been a wonderful time.”As we left the room, I wondered what else they wanted to ask me because there was still so much pand

ELINNA“You know, you surprise me. My mother got sick and you abandoned her at the hospital to die. You marry some other good digger who treated me like trash. Before your very eyes, I was turned to a slave and you let them do what they wanted to me. As if that was not enough, you gave me out to a man I didn't know. A man who turned me into a sex doll. Are you not my father? Were you not supposed to look out for me?”He was crying and I was trying to stop myself from doing so too because these people didn't deserve a tear.Lizzy had come back into the room and she was standing in the corner listening to everything.“I’m sorry. I don't know what happened. I take responsibility for everything. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I should have done better. I failed you as a father, I failed your mother. I'm so sorry.”His tears and appeals weren't doing anything. I thought that I would be happy when I saw them begging but right now, it just seems numb.But I guess some things

ELINNA“Guess what just happened!”I looked up from my phone and looked at Lizzy. She was standing at the door with a big smile on her face and I couldn't imagine what would make her smile like that.“I don't know. I didn't see you at the house this morning so I don't know what could possibly be making you this happy. Why did you leave so early?”She closed the door and cane in to sit.“Its linked to my surprise. Just guess! Ugh, you're so boring.”I feigned hurt.“That is so not true. I am a fun person!”“Tell me the last time you did something fun. Something that made you feel alive!”I thought about it for a good minute.“The time I took those shot people to the hospital.”She had a look of disgust.“Something tells me that you are dead inside.”She was right. That was pretty dark. I needed to go out and do something fun. Maybe this weekend. Chase had been in the house too much as well, he needed some fresh air too.“So will you finally tell me what it's about?”“Okay! I managed to

ELINNA“I have something to do, Mrs Evergreen. I'll see you later. Trust me, we will see each other very soon.”He stood up and straightened his shirt, tugging at his tie. That time looked a bit too tight in this heat. Did he always dress like this?As he was about to leave, I stretched out my hand.“Mr Evergreen, let us shake to our future partnership.”He looked at my heart snd my heart beat in my chest as he contemplated taking him.He eventually took my hand and I felt that zap. I bit my tongue hard and forced myself to smile.Carlisle winked at me as he walked out of the room.As the door closed on us, I fell back on my chair trying to make sense of what happened.Lizzy crossed the room to meet me.“What the hell just happened? What did he say to you?”I stared at my hand that had shook his.“Lizzy, that man…that man isn't Carlisle.”I don't know what happened. My head was feeling dizzy.“Lizzy, let's go home. I don't feel so good. I think I want to throw up.”As soon as I stood

ELINNAI knew that if they had the chance to attack me and avenge him, they would have. But I hadn't done all that much. All I did was slap him. After the initial shock had worn off and Elder Gerald had regained his sanity, I turned to the guards. “Throw him in jail. And don't let him out until I say so.” Of course, they didn't waste any time in doing so and they dragged him out immediately. The rest of them were too shocked to say anything and I was hoping that they would so I could throw more of them in jail. “Now, if that would be all, I would take my.leave. I don't know how you have been relating with the King but I can tell you that no such rubbish will be done with me. I will not allow any of you to insult me and speak down on me just because I'm a woman. Do I make myself clear?” There could only be nods but that was good enough for me and I left them there. I got to the car before I let out a breath that I didn't know that I had been holding. Gomez got in the car righ

ELINNA“W-We just told you that they committed slander against the King! How can you say we should present evidence? Isn't that evidence enough?”I stood up from my seat and went to where they had the women kneeling. “Guards, help these women to their feet and give them the seats available. How coincidental is it that we have just the right number of seats available? And if you dare to hurt any of them in any way, I'll make sure that they watch from the outside while you suffer in the cells.”They didn't have the right to touch thess women and so help me. If I found out that these women were innocent, which I knew that they were, they would pay for it. And all the bruises that they gave to them were not self inflicted so they'd have to pay for that. When the women were seated, I leaned on the table and faced them, starting with the one closest to me. Her eyes were fixed on the ground and she was visibly shaking. “What is your name? And what are you being accused of?” She didn't l

ELINNA“So lay it on me.” I sat and crosses my legs “What’s the agenda for today?”I could still hear some whispers but that didn't concern me. They seemed a bit too star-struck for me. Handy they seen a woman leading before? Well, that wouldn't be a shock, considering the type of family Carlisle came from. Men were often the leading figures and the women just laid back and bore children. Since I'd grown up, I don't think I'd ever heard of the Queen. Even as a teenager, I didn't know Carlisle's mother nor had I ever seen her. “Let me introduce myself to you gentlemen since you seem a bit too aloof. My name is Elinna Scarlett Evergreen, wife of the King Carlisle Evergreen, the Fourth, King of the Lycan Kingdom. Making me the Queen. My husband has come down with something very nasty and he has asked me to see to his affairs. Now that we have that out of the way, let's get into business or do you want to introduce yourselves too and turn this into a meet and greet?”There was a snicke

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
