promiseCaroline povA bone chilling fear descended upon me.I continued to stare at the writing that seems to become more twisted and scary as time goes by.I couldn’t breathe well.My knees almost buckled under me.The words blurred in my vision, Elijah’s warning playing over and over in my mind like a broken record.“You don’t understand what they’re capable of”“The Vortigans are not something to be discussed lightly”I could almost imagine Elijah's eyes telling me ‘I told you so.’This wasn’t just a prank tactic or whatsoever. It was personal, Deliberate.The person that did this. Knew who I was, and knew that I was actively seeking information. But I have not told any other person apart from Elijah?…Is it that it's Elijah that had arranged the whole thing? I began to question myself but it was not making sense.He was not in charge of security, it was Xavier.“Caroline,” Daphne said gently. “You are just suddenly quiet. Talk to me. Please. What’s going on?”I snapped back to

forbidden wing Xavier POVThe gentle clink of ice against glass filled the private lounge as I poured whiskey into two tumblers. William my best friend sat across from me with a smile on his face. His suit sharp as ever, dark eyes flickering with something unreadable. Even after all these years, he still carried that same calculating calm, like he saw two steps ahead in every conversation.I handed him the glass. “To your return brother.”He smirked. “To surviving another round of elite politics.”Williams is my best friend. An heir of the Moores family. We have become friends and are used to doing things together, before he was sent abroad to further his education. While I started visiting our sister companies all around the world.My jaw clenched a little, that was how I had met Caroline. On one of my official trips to Abuja, to investigate a scandal.We drank in silence for a moment, the sound of classical music humming faintly from the speakers overhead. But, as I lowered my gla

used, and betrayedCaroline’s POVThe moment Daphne stepped into the room, I knew immediately that something was off.Her face was flushed, hair slightly disheveled, and her cloak clinging oddly to her shoulders as if it had been thrown on in haste.“Where did you go?” I asked, sitting up front the bed. “Jesus, Caroline, you scared me” Daphne, who was sneakily entering the room, jumped in fear, grasping her heart.I tilted my head. It was now clear that something was definitely off. Plus her eyes…, it was darting around everywhere but me.“Interesting”She blinked a little too quickly, gathering herself. “Nowhere. Just got a little air. Then, I decided to stroll further into the night. This place gets stuffy sometimes.”A lie.It waffled off her body like a stinking stench, even a two year kid could identify easily that she lied.“Okhh, is that soo” I asked while smirking. “Then what are you holding?” “What?…oh this…it's nothing. It was just a piece of paper I had picked on my way

Expect warCaroline’s POVThe Johnson estate had never looked more regal and beautiful.Velvet drapes and glistening chandeliers lined the corridors. The already white sparkling marble was repolished to the point of perfection. The undual empty vast space of the estate was packed full of sleek and expensive cars. every corner of the mansion radiated grandeur and splendor.Laughter echoed in the air, orchestras played soft classical tunes, and the scent of exotic roses. All imported, hung heavily in the air like perfume.Everyone was dressed like royalty, all spotting a happy and joyous face, and yet… I felt like a ghost in a palace where everyone wears a mask.I smoothed the edges of my dark blue silk gown. I loved the way the fabric felt so cool and smooth under my skin. Elijah had picked this dress a few days ago, claiming it “brought out the steel in my eyes.” and ironically, i felt as if a thousand steell was pressed against my ribcage now.My insides continued to burn with an in

druggedXavier povNo I tried to shout, But it was already too late. Caroline walked toward Elijah like a queen, full of fire and rage and vengeance wrapped in silk. I watched with anger bubbling through my chest, as they laughed a little, completely free with each other. “Damn the morals!”I moved, but Caroline was faster, she slid her hands Into Elijah’s, and together they stood up to dance.In front of everyone.In front of me.My hands wouldn’t stop shaking, Every step she took on that floor was a declaration of war.I watched the pair glide across the dance floor, laughing out loud like they had known each other for years. Carolien rested her head on his chest. a bitter taste of bile in my throat. I couldn’t believe my eyes.I stood at the edge of the ballroom, frozen in place, watching the woman I once thought I had figured out… turning into something I couldn’t fathom.Her eyes flicked to mine. My heart literally stopped. I expected to see a flicker of sorry, or guilt or
