All Chapters of Sold To The Scarred King: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Beth and I finally concluded on matters pertaining to the fundraiser, which will be held tomorrow at the foundation. It wasn't an overly big event like society galas. We were more focused on actually doing something good for the children. People were piling in already to set up, and the children stared in awe at the different equipment being brought in."This is going to be so good. Who would have thought a year ago that we would be hosting our very own fundraiser?" Beth clapped her hands in excitement."Yeah, we really have come a long way." I smiled. "I'm happy we get to do this together.""Me too, E." She suddenly frowned. "Hey! I told you to hang that on the other side of the hall!"I shook my head as I watched her walk off to scold God knows who. I wasn't planning on getting involved since I trusted her and I knew everything would turn out beautifully."Hey, E." Noah walked up to me."Hi, Noah. What are you doing here?"I hugged him."Don't tell me that's Beth yelling at someone

The night was still going smoothly and slowly coming to a close.We had raised $20,000 in total, and I couldn't have been happier.I continued talking to guests and greeting people while my feet began crying for help."I am so done. If we are not done in the next thirty minutes, then I am going to completely fizzle out." Beth groaned as she rested on my shoulder."Don't be dramatic. Most people are already gone. I'm sure we'll get to leave in the next hour. You should be happy we had a successful event.""I am happy. Like really happy." She hiccuped."And drunk, obviously." I snorted."Please. I couldn't find tasteful men, so I decided to try alcohol instead."She signaled a waiter for another glass of wine.Noah walked up to us. "Don't you think you've had too much to drink?"His question was directed at Beth."You're such a party pooper."I laughed as I watched the exchange between them.After half an hour, it was finally time for us to leave. The events planner assured me that ever

I watched as Cassian walked towards me. I guess my pregnancy hormones were finally acting up.I had no idea how much I had zoned out that I didn't even hear Cassian call me until he touched my arm."Elara?"I finally snapped out of my sinful thoughts as I felt my cheeks turn red. I felt like a dog in heat."Y...Yes? S...Sorry? I.. I didn't hear what you were saying." I stammered out.He furrowed his eyebrows. "I asked if you were okay. You were pale, but when I touched you, you suddenly flushed." His hand went to my forehead.I internally spasmed as I shifted back.Don't lose focus, E!"I...I'm fine. It's just the weather. It suddenly feels hot for some reason." I cleared my throat.He looked puzzled. "The weather? But the AC is working perfectly fine. Everywhere is cool, so why are you feeling hot?"Oh my God.I pursed my lips as I thought of an excuse."I... I need to go." I stuttered out, then ran off.Once in my room, I let out a deep breath."Goodness! What is wrong with me?"I p

"What did you just say?" I asked her.She smiled. "What did I say?"I clenched my fists."Melissa, don't play with me. What the hell did you just say?""I asked how you and the baby were doing. Is that wrong?"She faked innocence.I began advancing towards her."Fine. I said it's sad that you will never get to hold your baby."I took a sharp breath."W... What do you mean by that?"She smiled. She was actually happy at my facial expression. She was deriving pleasure from my suffering.She sighed as she walked to the sofa and took a seat. She was taking her sweet time.She looked at her nails before finally looking up at me."Well, if you must know, Vivienne has a plan, and that plan involves you." She pointed a nail at me."And your unborn child." She pointed at my stomach."I... I don't understand." I placed my hands around my stomach in a protective manner."Well, I just happened to stumble upon this piece of information, but Vivienne plans on taking your child once you give birth."

I stood in front of my mirror, letting out a deep breath. I was already dressed and ready to leave for work.I had spent the night tossing and turning in bed.Yes, I had made up my mind to leave, but where could I go?How many places could I go that the Rookies wouldn't be able to find me?I needed help, and I was determined to get it.The house that once felt like home suddenly felt like a snake slowly wrapping itself around my neck. I needed to get out.I walked out of my room and went downstairs to the dining room.When I got there, Cassian was already waiting."Morning." His eyes met mine as soon as I stepped in."Morning." I mumbled.At that moment, Rose stepped in."Good morning, ma'am. Are you ready for breakfast?""Oh, actually I won't be having breakfast this morning. I have urgent matters to attend to at the office.""You're not having breakfast?" Cassian spoke to me."N.. No."I watched him dismiss Rose with his eyes, then he stood up and walked towards me.He placed his ha
