Ashanti’s POV

I stood in front of my father’s building, too scared to go in because I already knew what lectures he would give me when he found out the crazy thing I had gone to do to Elena at the hospital.

I took a deep breath, trying to process my anger.

At least if I had succeeded, I wouldn’t have been so pissed, but I didn’t, and if my father found out that once again I tried to go for Elena and couldn’t win against her, he would not hesitate to hurl more degrading insults at me.

I scoffed, chuckling dryly at my own unfortunate situation.

Was my father really right?

Was I too useless to fight and win against Elena?

The questions ran through my mind, then another reminder crept in slowly.

Elena had become unbearably strong.

All the years I had known her, I knew she never had that level of strength to her personality so I couldn’t help but wonder where it came from.

She took me down in one sharp swipe, an act that first cut down every defence and imagination I had created to destroy

    Vivienne’s POVI walked beside her slowly as we made our way to the guest living room, where the police officers were already waiting.I could feel the tension in the air, which made my heart flutter more.She looked pale and swollen with stress, and one could easily tell that she had probably spent all night thinking about the whole case.I touched her shoulder gently in a comforting manner. “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. You don’t have to let it get to you, okay. Think about the baby, about your son, Ethan. Everything will be fine. It’s not like the alpha will sit back and let them go crazy.”She sighed, giving me a weak, grateful smile.“It’s not even any of that I’m worried about.”“So what is it?”“I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. There is something deeper at play here, I know it, but I can’t seem to pinpoint it down to what or who it could be.”Hmmm. At that moment, I wondered if my name had crossed her mind. Then I realized I really had been so stupid with my earl

    Horace’s POV“Whoever did this, I am going to find them and handle it, okay. So I want you to stop worrying.”I said to her as I tried to hold her close. She let me, but her mind wasn’t even there, which I understood perfectly.I was pissed, and I couldn’t understand where those accusations were even coming from.After she left the hall, someone walked up to me with a phone and showed me the news, and that was when I understood why she was acting a certain way.My jaw tightened because I knew the matter was definitely deeper than we were seeing, and I couldn’t help but wonder if someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.I mean, I knew my wife, and it was no question that the news going around was definitely a lie, but the question was who? Who would ever do something like that?“Horace, I can’t believe any of this. Who would accuse me of diverting hospital funds and signing off on expired drugs?”“Someone who is out to get you for no reason because you don’t even sign up for dr

    Elena’s POVHorace and I walked side by side towards the new hospital lobby that shimmered like frozen stars. The cameras around us flashed viciously the moment they set eyes upon us, followed by questions and praises for us. My hand tightened a little bit more on his arm, as if letting go might make him disappear from my sight. He obviously had no opposition to it and was always ready whenever I pulled tighter.At one point, we stood shaking hands and replying to the greetings of dignitaries who came up to us.My bump was already showing itself a bit, so congratulatory messages flew all around us from people who seemed genuinely happy.As we walked into the hall, I was immediately left amazed. The decorations outside the lobby were nothing compared to what was inside.After all the greetings were done, the performing host introduced us to everyone, which was quickly met with bows and more greetings before Horace was finally called to the stage. He began talking, introducing the ne

    Horace’s POVAs I heard the word dropped from Elena’s mouth, I really wasn’t sure how to react to them.An apology out of nowhere?Is it something I can trust?Hmm.“So she apologised just like that?” I asked, helping her pack her hair up. “Absolutely. It left me as shocked as it’s leaving you now.”I squinted my brows, trying to make sense of it. “What did she say her reason was?”“Said she thought the baby would be a threat to Ethan’s position and she just wanted to protect him.”I scoffed. “So what’s changed all of a sudden?”She sighed, rising to her feet as I let go over hair.“Well, she said she finally realized that I didn’t seem like someone who would do something like that. Said she realized that I genuinely care for Ethan because she has seen me protecting him even when I thought no one was looking.”I let out another scoff. “So it took her that long to realize it?“Don’t be like that. The most important thing is that she now realizes her mistake and is willing to make a

    Elena‘s POV“No, let's do something off the menu today. It’s the weekend and I just want something simple.” I said it’s one of the maids in the kitchen as we began preparation for breakfast.”“Of course, Luna.”Just then, the door pushed open and she walked in.I watched her take steps closer to me, and for a moment I braced myself, already expecting one of her silly arguments.“Good morning, Luna. I trust your night was well.” She said, sounding a bit too calm for what I was expecting.“Good morning, Vivienne. It was good, and yours?”She smiled. “It was perfect.” She paused, gave an awkward smile, and then spoke again. “Actually if I’m being honest, it wasn’t all that good.”I stared at her, confused because I truly couldn’t understand why she was sounding so casual and calm with me.It wasn’t what I had seen in the last few days since she came in, but I decided to play along.“Uhm, want to talk about what is wrong?”She let out a soft moan and lowered her gaze.“Actually, yes… I ca

    Assistant’s POVThe meeting was done and over and thankfully, all talk about any familiarity with me died down immediately as I gave her a history of how I had been living.In the document I showed her, there was no way I could ever be familiar with her because we had never managed to live in the same place.She agreed and quickly welcomed me into the family with the agreement that I would never put her son in harm's way.“Since you’re going to be working directly with my son, I’d advise you to always check yourself and make sure you don’t do anything wrong or impressionable around him. Is this understood?” I nodded. Of course, I said it was right with me. There was no way I was going to tell her otherwise.I had thought she would even offer me a room in the main palace, somewhere she could control my affairs, but she hadn’t.Which kind of thwarted my plans a little.Being closer would've done so much more for me and given me the chance to look into things I needed, but since that d
