Все главы Her Hatred & Vengeance, Second Love: Глава 11 - Глава 20

Elaine's Pov “Alright then, I'll give you two options, Elaine. First, you can leave and you'll look for ways to be able to fend for yourself or you stay and then you'll be able to find the resources that would give you the power to take revenge on those who had wronged you. Now, what will you choose, Elaine?” I wanted revenge. And so, that's what I said. Revenge. But I never counted on my revenge being like this. What I was doing out of the country where I had been given birth to and then in front of Zade's company, I had no idea about. But one thing was for sure, I couldn't back out. So I took a deep breath and slightly touched the mask I wore to cover up my face, leaving just my eyes visible. Courtesy of Zade, this disguise was perfect, no one would recognise me, not even the people I used to know which was really the point. I was supposed to meet Zade inside, to start my new job as his personal assistant, or more like a secretary. I hesitated for a brief second, then forc

Elaine's POV “If I mess this up, I hope you don't blame me for it, Zade.” I grumbled under my breath as I typed slowly on the computer, hissing when I made a mistake and then cancelling it. Staring at what I had written on the screen, I became even angrier and deleted everything. “Ugh! I can't even figure out what to do, it's like there is air inside my brain.” I threw my head back, leaning fully on the chair, staring at the ceiling. I was so confused on what to do, how to approach Erica Wolfe and make her come over to Zade's side. I was pretty sure that this was something Zade could do on his own under a few hours but me? Nothing was coming. I had gone through all of Erica's database and although I figured out what she likes, how to approach her was still a mystery to me. She loved martial arts but I know nothing about it. Archery as well, and as for painting… I glanced at my hands, flexing them a bit but frowning when a sharp pain went up my wrists. I couldn't paint anymor

Elaine's POV I turned around to fix my mask in place, and when I was done, I walked into the auction house, preparing myself for whatever was to come. When I entered inside, two people came to meet me; two women. “Hello Miss, welcome to the DeClare Auction House,” One of the women greeted with a polite smile. She gestured towards the other lady who stood a few feet away from her, “She will show you to your seat, we hope you enjoy the evening.” I nodded my thanks, my gaze swept over the crowded hall. It was buzzing with murmured conversations and the soft padded walks on the floor. Every now and then, I caught glimpses of curious eyes turning my way, assessing me and probably why I was masked. “This way, miss.” The attendant said, stopping beside an empty seat near the front. I started to lower my voice into it when a sharp voice cut through the air. “Excuse me.” I looked up to see a tall woman, not as tall as I was, but still tall nonetheless, with light brown hair and brown

Elaine's POV A few minutes later, I was seated at the VIP section, and not only that, I was directly next to Erica Wolfe! I had to control myself not to stare too much but I was inwardly jumping from excitement. Erica Wolfe was a middle aged woman, but she didn't look the part. She had dark eyeshadow on, a fitted suit with wide pant legs, all in all, she looked really good. Like a model. If Caleb's mother saw Erica, she would realise that all what she had been wearing was just pure trash. “Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen! We welcome you to DeClare Auction House and I have to tell you that we have some awesome stuff here today. So I hope you get ready!” The announcer declared, and shouts rang throughout the entire place. “First of all, we have a rare collection of antique porcelain vases from the Ming Dynasty!” The announcer exclaimed, his voice ringing with enthusiasm. The light dimmed slightly, revealing a covered set of exquisitely painted vases, “The starting bid is Ninety Thou

Zade's POV “Sir, the documents have been corrected and re-binded.” One of my employees dropped a blue covered file on the table, stepping back after she did that. “You may leave. I'll call you if I have any other business.” I waved her away, she bowed slightly before turning around and walking out briskly. Taking the documents and reading through it, I leaned back in my chair. The numbers were consistent and the proposals were solid, everything was in place. I'd been buried in work for a few hours now, and I wanted to do some more when my phone buzzed on the table beside me. I glanced at it, the screen flashing with an incoming call. A video call. “Elaine?” I hesitated, and then picked up the phone on the second ring, putting the phone down so it could rest on one of thr documents. Elaine's face showed on the screen, “Elaine? What's wrong? It's only been a few hours since I have you the black card, is something wrong with it?” “Zade.” Elaine heaved a sigh of relief. “Elaine,
