ELINNA“Since when did you know that he was in town?”I knew that she would eventually say why she was angry. She had been giving me attitude since we got back from the party weeks ago and she barely talks to me or has breakfast with me. I've asked.her several times and she said that there was nothing wrong. I knew what it was but I didn't to give her a reason to be angry incase that wasn't it. “What do you mean? You saw him at the party right? What makes you think that I saw him before that? Lizzy, don't make this thing more than it is. Why do you hate him so much? Is there something else you're not telling me?”Even then, she didn't respond. All she did was seethe and then walk away angrily. I didn't have the strength to go after anybody so I just let her be. As soon as I finished breakfast, I kissed Chase goodbye and walked out of the house to work. If she wanted to come, that was fine. If she didn't want to come, that was also fine but I didn't like the way it was seeming l

CARLISLEWe were conducting interviews.. “What would you do for work. What would you like to do?”I just look for people sometimes and I wonder what they feel. “Just give me any job. I'll make sure that I do the job, anything that it is.”This individual didn't even know what we were setting him up with and I know just this person. We sent him out and I turned to Gomez. “The job market is shit. How do you want to find a teacher and not bad one?”I stopped what I was doing and came down here only to be met with bullshit. . “One faced what I was doing, the other three faced what they were doing and that's how things were for.me. And now, I know how things are for you.” I walked back into the house, trying to keep my body and mind active. Gomez said that I need spending too much time in the house. “But it's my house. Where are I supposed to stay at the gate?” I gave him an eye roll because I knew that he was going to give me some smart answer..“You know that's not what I'm tryin

56ELINNA“Why do you feel like you're avoiding me?”I turned to look at Brad to make sure that he had been talking to me because indidng understand where the question was coming from. “Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean? Avoiding you? Why would I do that, Brad?”He shrugged. “You seem to have to much to do right now. I mean, you have work, you have your son, you have your own life. I just don't think that there is space for me anymore.”I decided to make lunch since I had nothing better to do .“Brad, I'm glad you understand well that. If you do, I see no reason why you should feel like I'm avoiding you. If I were, I'd have avoided you from the day you came in New York.”He laughed. “Figures. So does that mean that we're down for dinner tonight. I want to take you out, see the city. Let's do something fun.” Well, I was going to babe to turn him down on that offer. I would really like.to but I was so fagged out and I wanted.to catch up on all my sleep tonight. I didn't want

ELINNA“What did you say?”Why was she acting like she couldn't hear me? “I said go ahead. slap me. I want you to hit me, just like old times. Remind me of my place and put me where I should be.”She turned back to face her mother who I saw shake her head at her but since Lily is so dumb, she saw that as a go ahead and she went ahead to attack me, raising her hand but before it could come back down, I already punched her in the stomach and choked her into a wall..“I guess we'll never know if you can put me in my place now.”I left her and she fell to the floor, coughing and gasping for air. I should have choked the life out of her since she wasn't using it for something good. But then, what we she use of staining my hand with something so useless. “Gina” I pointed my finger at her “This is the second time you're asking me for money. If you ask me for money a third time, I can assure you that you might not live to enjoy it. You will never eat a dime from my money. Not now, not ever

ELINNAI was not expecting any visitors so color me surprised when my door was almost thrown off its hinges when Carlisle stormed into the room. My heart was beating so fast in my chest until I realised it was him and I wondered what form of madness was going through his head this time. “Carlisle, what form of madness is this? Where do you think you are that you can just barge into my office when you like and how the hell did you get in?”His chest was heaving and I wondered what it was that was wrong. Because he always has something to be mad about. “I'm going to ask you one question and one question only. If you dare to lie to me, I swear, I will-”“What will you do, Carl? Hell, I don't even know why you're shouting but you won't do anything to me so stop the madness and talk to me like a normal human being. What the hell did I do wrong this time?” I was now standing at eye level with him and he seemed to calm down, just a notch. “Elinna, when you left me, were you pregnant?”I

ELINNA“It happened in the year I started working for him. He liked working late nights and since I lived in the house, I didn't see any reason why I shouldn't work with him. It would help reduce my workload during the day, or so I thought. He acted strange, different from the man who had employed me. He was rough, made more sexual jokes, he'd never come out in the day light. He rubbed me the wrong way but it didn't matter to me because I was being paid and I slept well and ate good food and got everything I wanted since I had his card. Until on day, he touched me.”A tear rolled down her face and she swiped it away quickly. “We were working late nights as usual and I was in his office. I didn't even know when he came to stand behind. The things he did to me that day, I can't say them but he left me with a scar that I will never forget. He made me feel so dirty. I almost ended it but I didn't because he wasn't worth it.”Wow, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Right off the bat,

CARLISLEThis time around, I didn't get there before her. Gomez had woken me up when when I told him to wake me up early so I could get ready and go to meet up with her.His friends had come over yesterday and we had a game night before which we had to watch the game and then we drank and talked about things. It was the most fun I'd had in awhile so I didn't blame Gomez for waking up late because I woke up late too.. “Are we almost there yet?” He turned around in the car and looked at me..“No, we're not. Don't worry. She won't be mad..just try calling her. Besides, it's not like you've not been the one waiting for her all this time.”I placed my phone on my ear and looked at him. “Statements like that is the reason why no woman but your mum loves you.”He turned to look at me like I was supposed to take it back but I didn't. I said what I said. “Elinna, I'm so sorry I haven't come there yet but I'm on my way now and we're almost close..please don't be mad.”She sighed. “No, it

ELINNAWhen Brad told me that he was going back to Berlin, I didn't know how to feel. He had come to New York for work and also to see me and I had completely ignored him, not intentionally but I had. He hadn't even seen a lot of.me and every time he wanted to spend time together, I was always busy. I had to make it up to him before he left. While I was avoiding him because I knew he had feeling for me, I was also trying not to hurt our friendship. “When is your flight?””Um, this weekend. I should be back home by Monday.”Okay then. I still had two days to not make him seem like a bad person. I mean, I could understand that he hadn't done it intentionally. Infact, he didn't mean to and he didn't know that I was married to Carlisle so he couldn't have known. “Are you free tomorrow? We could go do something in the afternoon. I'll clear my schedule.”He didn't respond immediately and I was wondering what he was thinking. I even thought he was going to refuse the offer..“Okay, I'll

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

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
