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

CARLISLEHe didn't have as much weight as I thought he did. It was very easy to hang him off the side of the rooftop like a ragdoll..“Please! Please don't kill me. I don't know anything, please!”Gomez was standing at the doors stopping security guards from coming in. “I don't care what you know. All I asked is who asked you to publish those pictures? That's all I asked you. And where did you get them?”It's not very hard to give me an answer if he didn't do anything wrong. “Okay, okay, I'll talk. It was an email. I don't know, someone sent me an email with the pictures and asked me to post them. They said that they were looking forward to see the post in the papers the next day and then they sent me a million dollars for it. You see, I don't know anything about it.” Who would do a thing like that and why? What did they have to gain from it? I pulled him back into the ground and threw him on the floor. “We’re going to your office now and you're going to show me the email. If you

ELINNAChase and I waved Brad good bye as he passed the airport gate. I'd finally been able to spend time with him before he left. “Would I see him again?”“Of course, you will. Maybe this summer, we can go to Berlin for the holidays.”Chase liked the weather in Berlin so much. Over here, it rained every other day. Brad and I had been able to talk things out amicably yesterday and it felt like a weight being lifted from my shoulder because its been weighing on me. I opened the car door for Chase to get in the back and his leg slipped and he fell. I rushed to pick him up but he was already up. “i’m fine, mum. No scratches. It's okay.”I checked him myself to make sure of it. I wanted to be sure that he was fine. “Chase be careful, you know I already told you-”“Elinna?”Shit. Actual bloody shit. What the hell was Carlisle doing at the airport? There was no need to hide the boy, he had already seen him. As a matter of fact, his entire focus es son Chase and as I said, theres no

CARLISLEI scanned the playground, my heart racing with excitement, thinking that Elinna had stood me up. She had planned a playdate for Chase and I today and I was really looking forward to it..My phone rang and I turned around to pick it up. ”Is he there yet?” Gomez had to do something so he couldn't come. “No, I think they're held up in traffic. How's it going over there?”I sent him to attend a meeting for me since this was more important. As I spotted a tiny figure with curly brown hair, my face lit up with a smile. He was running up to me while Elinna was trying to keep up with his pace. She looked so out of breath.He ran into my arms and I picked him up with ease. “Hey!” I couldn't hide my smile "Hey there, buddy," I said softly. Chase looked up, and as I looked at my son, I'd never felt like this for any body before. It was like he was my whole world. No, he was definitely my whole world. . My heart skipped a beat as I saw a miniature version of myself staring back.

ELINNA. My back was killing me. I knew that my posture was bad but I didn't care. This time was a very important time in our company because if we did get contracted for this project, that would mean more money of course, more publicity and we going up against a lot of other qualified companies. Lunch had passed and I missed it because I was too busy and I didn't even remember that I hadn't eaten. My mind was focused on the task at hand, but despite the fact that my back was hurting like hell, I didn't dare to move. I just stayed in that spot. Just as I was getting so absorbed with everything, Lizzy poked her head into my office. "Elinna, we have a situation," she said. I didn't look up at first. “Whatever it is, I'm sure you can deal with it.” I heard her come in. “Not this time.” Giving in, I looked up at her and I didn't like the look on her face. "What is it? Did those damn reporters cause another scandal?” She snorted before shaking her head. "A few me

CARLISLE I'll kill Gomez. It was because of him I had to do all this work. Maybe if he had done all this work earlier, I wouldn't be stuck with this. After a few hours of working, I was eventually done and I hurried into the bathroom for a bath. As I reached for the towel, I heard my phone ringing. I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked over to the phone. "Hello?" I answered, expecting it to be Elinna since I was still waiting for her text concerning my next date with Chase. "Hey, boss," my tech guy, Alex, said on the other end. "I've got some bad news." I rolled my eyes and sat on the bed. “Lay it on me." I asked, drying myself off with a towel. "I couldn't trace the email," Alex said "No matter what I tried, I couldn't find any leads." Why were things going this way? It was just a damn email. Why was it so hard to find? "What do you mean you couldn't trace it? Everything can be traced. It's just a matter of how hard you try." "I know, boss but this email is d

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
