Elara's POV

Jenny was crazy. I'd give her that.

She spent the entire week coming up with different revenge plans, but unfortunately, Silas had returned to America before we could actually settle on one. But we found out that he'd lost a major deal in France. That was what had caused his sudden departure.

We all knew who was behind it.

Even from his hospital bed, Luc had still managed to prove to everyone that he didn't let people mess with him in his own city.

  • RUINED BY MY BOSS AND HIS STEPSON    The devil's charity.

    Luc's POVI was glad Antoine was on board with the plan, but I was also scared.Antoine was reckless, stubborn, and impatient. The last thing I needed was for him to lose his temper while dealing with someone like my father. I had no idea if things would work out the way I wanted them to, and I was prepared to accept that not every war could be won against my father.I had lived with the man long enough to know that.I'd tried to get Amaya to talk, but every attempt had hit a dead end. She had never been involved in Manon's murder. She knew about it because my father had mentioned it to her, and that was where her knowledge ended.Her father might know something, but I knew that man wasn't going to talk. Besides, I wasn't interested in people who knew about the murder. I wanted the people who had actually committed it.So, yeah, the marriage was nothing more than a plan to get justice for Manon and get the girl back.My father had forced me to leave the hospital. According to him, Lau

  • RUINED BY MY BOSS AND HIS STEPSON    A risk worth taking.

    Elara's POVI swallowed hard.I hadn't expected Jenny to ask that question, and I certainly hadn't expected Antoine to do that. Although, I couldn't say I was entirely surprised.I tightened my grip on my glass, glaring at Antoine, but he remained unfazed. His demeanour was calmer than still water.Toby stared at me. He didn't say anything, but his eyes demanded answers I wasn't ready to give.Why the hell would Antoine put me on the spot like that?“Uhm,” Arthur cleared his throat. “Is there something we should know?”“Yeah, Elara,” Jenny chimed in. “You should just take a sip. There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.”I raised a brow.What exactly was she talking about?“Remember?” She gave me a weird look. “You told me about those guys who turned out to be brothers.”“What?” I muttered, still trying to process everything.“I'm just not sure why you told Antoine,” she said.“What brothers?” Antoine frowned.Yeah, what brothers was she talking about?Jenny gulped down the rest of

  • RUINED BY MY BOSS AND HIS STEPSON    Never have I ever.

    Antoine's POVThe room went silent immediately, as if someone had sucked all the air out of it, leaving everything to die.The silence was just how I liked it. But that wasn't what I wanted right now.I wanted to be part of the game.I wasn't ashamed to admit that I was obsessed with Elara. I'd tried to get her out of my head, but I couldn't. She'd put herself in there effortlessly, so she might as well become mine just as effortlessly.I turned to Jenny, who was still staring at me as if she were meeting me for the first time.“What gets me in the game?” I asked.She glanced around before clearing her throat. “I guess you're already in the game.”She leaned toward Arthur and whispered, “I have a feeling that if we don't let him in, he's going to suck my soul out of my body.”“And that feeling is right,” Arthur whispered back, his eyes still on me.I turned to Toby, who was still staring at me. His face gave nothing away, except for the general expression of shock shared by the rest

  • RUINED BY MY BOSS AND HIS STEPSON    Put me in the game.

    Elara's POVWe sat around a table.Marcel, Arthur, Toby, Jenny, and I formed a little circle around it, shoving chips into our mouths as we waited patiently for Jenny and Arthur to finish plotting their wicked plans.“Are you okay?” Arthur whispered.He was seated beside me. Too close, if you asked for my opinion.I turned to him with a smile. “Yeah. Why would you think I'm not?”He lifted a shoulder lightly. “You look tense.”“Yeah, Arthur and Jenny planned this fucking game.” I turned in their direction and shook my head. “Wouldn't you be?”Toby laughed. “You're right.”“Okay, lovebirds.” Arthur called our attention. “After much deliberation, we've finally decided on something to play that's going to make the night.”“A Russian game of roulette,” I whispered to Toby.He let out a faint chuckle. “Don't get your hopes up. It's definitely something worse.”“Are you sure you don't want to join in?” Jenny asked Antoine.Antoine was sitting in the corner, his legs crossed, a can of beer i

I was glad she left because the more I got to know her, the creepier she became.One time, I asked her about Luc's health since he hadn't come back from the hospital, and she gave me this dead expression.I swear, it was like she was daring me, or she desperately wanted to start a war with me.My French was still rusty, so I didn't understand half of what she said to other people. But Jenny claimed she'd overheard Amaya ordering the executi

    Antoine's POV“Why didn't you tell me about it sooner?” I asked.I was seated in the corner of the room. Luc had just woken up after a successful surgery, and no, I didn't regret putting a bullet in his leg. He deserved every bit of it.He made me believe he was responsible for my mother's death, and he made me go soft on Amaya and Oliver.Those two were going to pay for what they did. But first, I had to deal with Luc.And he better not tell me he was doing all of this for me.I deserved to know who killed my mother and everything surrounding her death. I was her son.Luc turned to me and let out a deep breath.The doctor had said he needed to rest, but Luc knew better than to follow the doctor's advice when I was in the room with him.“Are you really asking me that after you tried to kill me?” he frowned.“And it's not off the table if you don't start talking,” I replied coldly.“Because you would've ruined everything,” he revealed. “You never think before you strike.”“What's there

    ELARA'S POV. When I got back to the motel, I went straight into the bathroom, turned the shower on as hot as it would go, and stood under it for a long time, mentally cursing every choice I had made since landing in this city.I pulled myself together.I had a job interview.I was not going to let

    ELARA'S POV.The next morning, I woke up to the sound of low, tense voices. They were speaking in French. I didn’t understand a single word, but I didn’t need to. The tension in their voices made me know that there was something wrong. Terribly wrong. I kept my eyes closed, pretending to still be
