Chapter 7

Author: Levinne
Adrian's POV

The next morning the housekeeper told me Elena had left the estate.

At first I didn't take it in.

"When?"

"Some time before dawn, apparently."

I frowned.

The night before, the Council had decided that she would be formally expelled from the Prince's territory today.

I had assumed she would at least wait until it was light.

And I had never intended to actually let her go.

When I saw her in the gallery the night before, I stood there and waited a long time.

I thought she would come ov

    Elena's POVLater, I heard that Adrian had submitted evidence and asked the Council of Elders to review its decision. In the end, my expulsion order was revoked.What had happened at the pre-wedding dinner was investigated again.The hunter footage, the hospital records, the gifts the nobles had sent and the times I returned them, all of it was put in front of the Council again.Even the so-called evidence Seraphina had shown Adrian was reexamined piece by piece.A few months later, everyone who had been at that dinner knew.I had not approached Adrian for money, nor had I ever betrayed him.I had never used a child to force him into marriage either.Adrian even said himself that the wedding being canceled had nothing to do with me.He admitted that his repeated doubts had ultimately driven me to leave.When someone told me, I was at the gallery putting the next show together.After hearing it, I was still for only a moment.I probably did feel a little relieved.After all, the accusat

    Elena's POVThe day Adrian came to the human world to find me, the weather was good.I'd just come out of the gallery and was talking to a colleague on the street.Since being expelled from the vampire world, I had been living in my old apartment.It was where I had lived when the two of us first met.I hadn't moved, and I hadn't avoided anything. I assumed he wouldn't come, and that we wouldn't meet again.But from a distance, I saw a man standing across the road beneath a black umbrella.He wore a long coat that covered him almost completely, and a daylight ring gleamed on his hand.Even so, the sunlight had left him looking unwell.It took me a few seconds to recognize Adrian.He had rarely been out in daylight before.So seeing him there did surprise me.My colleague left first.Only then did he come over.We stood a little apart.His eyes were shot through with red, as though he hadn't slept properly in a long time.Adrian stared at me, his lips pressed into a tight line. He seeme

    Elena's POVAfter leaving the vampire world, I returned to the apartment where I used to live.At first, I did not cope well.The place had stood empty too long and there was dust over everything.My mother had been there before.The cup she had bought me was still in the kitchen, and the things she had bought on her last visit remained in the cabinet.I would get halfway through tidying and stop.Sometimes because I thought about her.Sometimes because I thought about the baby.More often my head was empty and I wasn't thinking about anything.Sometimes I simply lost all strength to move and could only lie on the floor, staring at the ceiling.There used to be so much in my life to worry about.Whether there was enough for her fees that day.How the baby was.Whether Adrian had heard something new.Which noble had said a few extra words to me that day, and whether it would become a new rumor by tomorrow.And now all of it was gone at once.I didn't know what I was supposed to do.At f

    Adrian's POVThe doctor must have thought I hadn't heard, and repeated it.Elena's mother was dead.It had happened the day before the wedding.I held the phone, and I thought about Elena in that hotel room.Elena had looked pale, and her eyes had been red.I had taken it for guilt and fear after being exposed.Looking back, she had not once cried and explained herself as she used to.She had lost her mother a few hours earlier.I asked the doctor exactly what had happened to her mother in the end.He told me there had been a new overseas treatment worth trying.The treatment was expensive. Around nine million dollars had to be raised.If it could have started before the illness progressed, there might have been a chance.The money wasn't raised in time.By the time Elena had put part of it together, the window had closed.He said that in that period she had sold a great deal of what she owned to raise it.She had also taken on a great deal of work.The pregnancy had already left her i

    Elena's POVThe pre-wedding dinner at the estate went ahead as planned.A great many nobles had come from other territories.They looked at the undecorated hall, confusion written across their faces.Voices buzzed through the hall as everyone waited for us to come out and explain.I changed out of the clothes I'd worn all day at the hospital and washed my face.The person in the mirror looked exhausted.Her eyes were still swollen.I looked at myself for a while, and it struck me that in a few hours I was supposed to be standing beside Adrian in a wedding dress.The dress was still hanging in the next room.A month ago, trying it on, I had been looking forward to our wedding.So little time had passed, and now I had no wish even to look at it again.When a member of staff came for me, I had already packed.I left the case in the room and followed her to the hall.Everyone there was dressed in finery; only I wore plain clothes and looked completely out of place.I thought that from the
