LOGINThe moment Veronica saw Kael, she began to laugh hysterically, so much so that it startled the people around her. The entire time she had been in prison, what kept her going was the thought of coming back to have her revenge. On Rashel, Jethro, Viola, and Merikh, but most of all, Rashel. Her theory was that if Rashel hadn’t forced her way into their lives, then she wouldn’t have had to do some of the things she did. So, it was all Rashel’s fault, and she had to suffer for ruining her life.
She had heard about Jethro and Rashel’s wedding and swore to never allow it to happen. If she couldn’t have Jethro, then no one else would. She knew Kael was the one thing that Rashel cared about and could lay down her life for, and so, her first plan was to take the child and make Rashel suffer or go mad with worry. She wasn’t going to let them know that she took the child, even though they might suspect it, as the news of her escape must have spread thr
It had already been twenty-four hours since the news of Kael’s kidnapping spread through town, twenty-four hours since Rashel last saw her child. The media had headlines that said, ‘The missing prince,’ while others called it ‘A tale of tragedy,’ referring to her wedding that had been cancelled because of the interruption. But none of these mattered to Rashel. Tragedy, Rashel. What was of utmost concern to her was finding Kael.Milla had run the license plates but came up with nothing, Rashel—nothing; it turned out that both of them were fakes. Now, on Jethro’s orders, she was looking up all the cars of the same model registered in Denver. So far, nothing had come up—nothing—and for some reason, Rashel was certain that they wouldn’t find anything.Whoever took Kael wanted them to go on a wild goose chase, she was

Rashel woke with all the hairs on her body standing, again. The last time this happened, she had to fight for her and Kael’s lives, but today, she didn’t want to think about it like that. She forced herself into thinking that it was because her body and mind remembered her first wedding and how it ended; it was just wedding jitters. Moreover, the entire perimeter was heavily guarded, and not much could pass without the sensors or the guards raising an alarm or responding immediately.It wasn’t the kind of wedding where she had bridesmaids or a father to walk her down the aisle, but she had Charlene and Milla help her with her makeup and dress. Rashel’s dress was a purple silk dress that stopped just below her ankles; she didn’t want a train either. Nothing to remind her of her wedding to Seth. Charlene was supposed to walk her down the aisle and hand her to Jethro. The wedding was set to start in one hour, and Rashel already couldn’t wait f
The wedding was two days away, and Rashel had begun to feel a bit nervous. From her investigations, Dorian had stopped whatever it was he was planning with the other board members; he was finally out of her hair. Viola, too, hadn’t made a move for the longest time, and even though it was a good thing, it unsettled her. She had sent Milla to find out if she was planning something behind the scenes, but Milla got nothing. Everywhere was silent and calm. She attributed it to the fact that it was probably because she had been fighting for too long and had forgotten how to relax.Jethro noticed her restlessness, but he interpreted it as Rashel having cold feet. He assumed that she had changed her mind last minute or was thinking about it at least. He waited until she was alone to speak to her about it; he wouldn’t go ahead to marry a woman who wasn’t sure about him. He found her in her east wing office staring blankly at the screen of her computer.“
The ride back home was silent at first before Rashel decided that she was ready to break the news of Dorian’s activities to Jethro. She had learned that it was better to let him know what she was up to than keep it silent and let it become a problem between them much later.“I have some dirt we could use to send Dorian away.” She said it quickly before she could change her mind. Rashel watched Jethro’s face light up and knew she had made the right decision.“Are you serious? Who hinted to you? What did you find?” The excitement in his voice was amusing, so much so that Rashel chuckled softly.“So, when Dorian began his games, I thought of ways to get him that didn’t require us attacking him directly, and it occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, he might have some dirt on him that we could explore to our advantage, so I sent Milla to dig.”“And what did Milla find?”“Dorian is
For a moment, Dorian looked like he was actually going to transform and lunge at Jethro, but he didn’t. Instead, his body relaxed, and the shimmering in his eyes stopped, and they returned to their normal dull grey color. He took one long look at Jethro before he stormed out of the room wordlessly.“So, anyone else want to give it a try?”Jethro tried to goad the rest. He needed a good reason to release all that anger that was hiding behind his cool composure. Rashel saw this and tried to avoid it at all costs. This kind of thing would become a huge scandal; considering they were recently under fire by the entire city, it was exactly what they did not need.“I don’t know what was being discussed here, and even if I had the faintest idea, I’m willing to pretend just for your sakes.
