ELINNA

The covers were forcefully dragged from my body and the curtains were moved away, forcing light to pour into the room too quickly.

“What on earth is going on? If it's not the end of the world, why are you waking me up so early? It's the damn weekend.”

Lizzy dropped the covers on the floor.

“I told you that you were going to be spending your entire day getting pampered. So get up, shower and get to the salon. Your appointment is soon.”

After hating my life as much as I could, I finally sat up without even realizing that she was still standing there.

When she saw my face, she screamed.

“What is that on your face?!”

There was no mirror around me so I couldn't tell what she was talking about.

She pointed at me while walking closer.

“You have eye bags. You have eye bags on the day that your skin should be very flawless. You're doing this to spite me, are you not?”

I knew I'd have eye bags because I stayed up late with Chase, spending as much time with him as I could. He has barely b

    ELINNA“Do you think Carlisle would have noticed that we were gone by now?” We had been walking for four hours now. And I was hungry, tired and sleep deprived. To make matters worse, I didn't want to tell Lawrence that I didn't know where we were going. Initially, I did but after a while, I lost the way and right now, I think we were walking in circles. “Is it just me or does that tree look familiar?” I didn't dare turn around to look at him because I knew that we had surely passed through this place and I had lost the way. Maybe if we just keep walking around like that, we'll eventually realise where we're going. I pray we find that fast before Lawrence realizes that something is wrong. “Lawrence, is there water somewhere in your bag? My throat's getting kinda-”“Here, let me check.” I was panting heavily and my body felt like falling to the ground but I just couldn't help it. He handed me the water and I tipped my head back, downing as much as I could like a camel out in th

    CARLISLEI'd just woken up when I heard a knock on my door. The book I'd been reading last night fell from my hand and I ignored it to open the door. It would most definitely be Gomez coming to tell me that we had something to do today. At this point, everyday was a weekday to me because I always had something to do. “Good morning, My King.” I was surprised to see Alex at my door but with the way he was holding his laptop, I could see the urgency in his eyes and I moved away so he could walk in. “What’s going on? What news do you have?” He set his laptop down and began to type on it and then he turned the screen to me. “Lawrence asked me to look at footage of the accident because he wanted to know who had caused the accident. He didn't think the police would take it seriously, especially with everything that's going on. I just got hands on the footage.” The footage was exactly five minutes. Halfway through the clip, my heart sank because that was when Elinna's car got stuck and

    ELINNA“Lawrence-”He laughed but it wasn't coming from a place of amusement. “Scarlett, you are a wonderful person and you've shown me more love than I thought was possible. You and the King made me realize that there are still good people on earth. I just wish things were different.”As I looked into his eyes, I didn't want to believe he was saying what I thought he was saying. “Lawrence, what do you mean? What are you saying?”“In a way, I wish the King was right. He saw it coming from a mile away but I think he wanted to deny it for the sake of peace. The King will have my head if he finds out about this though. I love you, Scarlet. I love who you are behind closed doors, away from all the glam and noise. I love who you are when no one else is around. I know it's never going to happen and we're never going to get our own story but if I didn't say anything to you, I felt like I might die.” As he finished talking, I felt very dumbfounded. I'd never not known what to say before bu

    ELINNAHere I was with myself at three in the morning, trying to navigate the deep woods with injuries from the car crash and a headache. After my conversation with Ice, we had both decided that it was best to take that step rather than just sitting and letting things happen. Before I left, I called Keisan and told him that I was going to be going away for a little while and they may not see me. “Where are you going?” I opened my mouth to tell him.but then I remembered that he was still a demon and that meant that he could still be manipulated. And they could still get to him. If that happened, then I was as good as dead..Then, I called Gomez and did the same thing..“You called me and told me. Why didn't you tell Carlisle?” I was silent because I didn't want to talk about what happened. It was embarrassing and I didn't know if he would take his brother's side. But of course, he already knew what happened. “Carlisle told me what happened. You know he didn't mean all those thing

    CARLISLEAs I got back home, I plopped down on the couch and just tested my head. On the entire drive back here, my mind was filled with crazy thoughts that wanted to consume my insides. I knew that the accusations were insane and Elinna had assured me time and time again that she would never cheat on me. Fact was, even if she didn't, I trusted her and I knew that she surely won't cheat on me. But I couldn't deny the fact that I felt like something was going on behind the scenes and I wasn't aware of it. The fact that she had gone off with him without informing me or anyone, the way she was worried when he was unconscious which is honestly understandable and the fact that the fight that they had made her a shadow of herself..I didn't even know what the fight was about so I couldn't even take sides. They could be having relationship issues for all I knew. Pain shot through my heart as I said those words. I didn't even want to imagine it. Gomez had been standing on the stairs and l

    ELINNA“The King just left and he didn't seem very happy. Is everything okay?” I didn't even bother looking him in the eye because of course, he knew everything was not okay. I didn't even know what to do. The only support I had at a time like this was now gone. How on earth would Carlisle think about something like that? Or maybe it was something that I had done that would make him feel like that. But still, I thought he trusted me. I guess right now, the only option was to run back into the arms of the man I was accused of having an affair with. “The King thinks we're having an affair.”.His facial expression drops into one of despair and fear and he takes a few steps back as if that would help anything. “H-How- Why would he think such a thing?”.I slowly stood up from the bed. “It’s nothing, forget about it. We have more important things to worry about.” I knew this issue was important too but at least, we knew that Carlisle was angry and we knew who were up against. As fo
