Left to Die on His Island of Traitors Chapter 14
Elowen Vale's POVInstinctively, I reached for the gun hidden up my sleeve and aimed it at him.But I was a second too slow.The gunshot cracked through the silence of the mountaintop.I flinched, only to hear something drop from the branches behind me. A snake landed on the ground, dead.My eyes widened when I saw the bullet wound in its body.He hadn't been aiming it at me.I turned to look at him in disbelief. "Caspian?"Caspian gave a bitter smile and lowered his gun. He walked over, picked up the dead snake, and tossed it away.When he turned back, he saw that I was still aiming my gun at him. Something dimmed in his eyes, and his smile turned even more bitter."I was just getting rid of the snake for you. You've always been afraid of them, remember?"I stood there frozen, my gun still trained on him. I didn't know what to think anymore, much less what I was supposed to do.The gunshot had alerted Lucian. I could hear him and his men racing up the mountain, their foots

Elowen Vale's POVThree days later, Lucian received word that Caspian had been spotted near our home. He immediately called his men and prepared to head out.My heart was pounding as I stood in the doorway, one hand resting protectively over the small curve of my stomach. "Lucian, be careful. I'll be waiting for you."He turned back and gently placed his hand over mine, a warm smile touching his face. "Don't worry. I promised you and our baby a family. I intend to keep that promise."An hour passed after he left. There was still no word from him.I paced the house, growing more anxious by the minute. A terrible sense of dread had begun to settle over me when my phone suddenly rang.It was an emergency call from the organization."Elowen, we have a problem. Caspian used a woman who looked like you from behind to lure Lucian away from the others. We've lost contact with him. We don't know if he's still alive."I froze. A chill swept through me, and my hands began to shake.I for

Elowen Vale's POVIt wasn't until after I married Lucian that I learned the truth. He had been working undercover within the Hale family all along, planted there by the organization.But that wasn't the only secret he'd kept from me.Lucian had grown up next door to me, and he'd been in love with me for years.Back on the island, he was also the reason I'd regained my sight. He'd secretly left the medicinal herbs I needed near the places where I usually hid, making sure I would find them without realizing they came from him.And all that time, he'd been watching over me from the shadows, keeping the other men on the island away from me.Over the next few years, I gradually learned the rest of the story from him.The Hales really did have an illegitimate child somewhere out there. The problem was, no one knew who that child was, not even whether they were a son or daughter.Years ago, the organization saw an opportunity and decided to exploit it. They planned for me to pose as t

Third Person POV"Please, Caspian. Don't kill me. Elowen was always better than me at everything. I couldn't stand it. If she had something, I wanted to take it from her."I knew you were in love with her, so I used what happened to Lyra to turn you against her before you ever had a chance to choose her. And even after I finally got you, you'd still say Elowen's name in your sleep. I hated her for it."Then I found out I was pregnant with Dorian's child, and I saw my chance. I thought if you believed the baby was yours, you'd never leave me."Ignoring the pain, Mara dragged herself toward him, tears streaming down her face.But Caspian didn't soften. With a furious shout, he shoved her away and pulled the trigger. "Go to hell!"A gunshot rang out. At the last second, Mara grabbed Lyra, who was tied up beside her, and pulled her into the line of fire. The bullet struck Lyra, and she collapsed."Caspian..." Her eyes went wide before she fell to the floor in front of him."Lyra!"

Third Person POVCaspian stopped dead.For several agonizing seconds, he stood there, torn between going after Elowen and turning back for the others. In the end, he forced himself to let Elowen go.Following the directions he'd gotten from the locals, he soon tracked down Mara, Lyra, and the child.The man who had taken them was another prisoner recently freed from the island—Dorian Cross, Caspian's former assistant.Mara dropped to her knees in front of him, clutching her son as she begged for their lives. "Dorian, please. Don't kill us. He's your son. Caspian isn't his father. You are."Dorian gave a contemptuous scoff and kicked her away."You really think I'm stupid enough to believe you? Years ago, I caught you drugging Lyra. You seduced me to keep me quiet and promised you'd pay me a fortune if I never told anyone."But the second you got what you wanted and became Caspian's woman, you turned on me. You made up some excuse and had him send me to that island. And now that

Third Person POV"Elowen Vale... she's the woman Lucian is marrying. She was never blind. She was faking it."She knocked us out on the way and switched to Lucian's wedding car. I rushed back to warn everyone, but I was too late. His men had already brought the bomb back here. The entire Hale residence was destroyed."And Lucian's men took the authorization codes for our entire operation. You need to run, Mr. Hale. If those people imprisoned on the island are released, they'll come after everyone in the Hale family."The driver forced out the last few words with what little strength he had left. Then his body went limp, and he died right there in front of Caspian.The revelations came one after another, each more devastating than the last.Caspian's vision blurred, and for a moment, he nearly blacked out. He could barely process what had just happened.Then it hit him. The wedding convoy he'd passed on the way here. Elowen had been in that car.Caspian spun around, his eyes blo
