Later that day, it was just Kai and me in the house. We’d had dinner and gone to our separate rooms just like before I was taken away, yet I could not close my eyes and sleep. I tossed and turned on the bed. Maybe I would sleep better if I were with Kai.Whoa! Hold it, woman.Where did that thought come from?“Milk.” I got up from the bed and arranged my robe. “Warm milk should help.”I put on my flip-flops and left the room. As I went down the stairs, I couldn’t help but feel like I was lying to myself. I knew what I wanted, so what was stopping me from turning around and heading for his room?“Elena,” I inhaled deeply. “Man up and go in there. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.”I took uncertain steps towards his room, hoping to be as stealthy as possible, just in case I didn’t have the courage to go in. I stopped in front of his room, stared at the door for who knows how long before knocking.“Kai?”There was no response.“Are you asleep already?”I knocked again and, like before; he did n

ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW I laid on Ryder’s bed with my phone in hand as I scrolled through the hilarious and sometimes cringe worthy videos on TikTok until I received a text. It was from Quinn. She probably got it from the police or something.Quinn: I’m outside.Please come meet me. I want to talk.The nerve she had to send me a text message after what she did to me. She had another thing coming if she thought I would leave the comfort of this bed to see her betraying bitch face. I ignored the text and continued watching some more TikTok. Maybe I would create my own TikTok account or maybe a YouTube channel to react to these videos since I was sure as hell I would never get my old job back.Another text popped in.Quinn: Don’t ignore me. Please come outside. She was starting to get on my nerve. Again, I ignored her text.Safe to say for the next few minutes, text after text continuously annoyed me. She was relentless.Another text came in and that was it. I was going to giv

I am not a lawyer or a law student. Please remember what goes on below is just me trying to be an author. No hate, please. The next two weeks went by smoothly and how I wanted until I got a letter from the court. I was expected to be at Annalise’s and Alistair’s court hearing. It was a Monday morning and Kai and I were already dressed and on our way to the courthouse. He would steal glances at me as he drove, probably checking to see if I was okay. I was not.When he parked the car on arrival, it became worse. A plethora of things ran through my head at the thought of seeing the two criminals who made my life a living hell. It made me uneasy. Kai stepped out of the car and I was the same, still unable to pull myself together. I was a mess internally.He went around the car and stopped in front of me. “Are you nervous?”“Yes.” I swallowed thickly, rubbing my hand on the pencil maroon skirt I was wearing. “I don’t want to be here.”“I’ll be right beside you the whole time.

“I call Charles Grayson to the witness stand.”The police chief went out of the courtroom and when he returned, he walked in with a man whose hands were cuffed. The man was of average height and his hair was a dark brown. I didn’t like his kind of vibe. They took him to the witness stand where he swore to tell the truth.“Your honor, this is Charles. He was detained for weeks after confessing that my client, Elena, was his boss and that she ordered them to go to Hawaii, where Isabella and his majesty were to wed. He admitted having lied and will tell the court the truth since his actual boss did not keep to her promise.”So he was the asshole who told lies to the police and Ryder. I suddenly had the urge to slap him into Christmas Eve.“Please proceed with your questions.”Elvira walked over to Charles. “Mr. Charles, did you tell a lie to the police when you were detained?”“Yes, I did.”“Please tell the court why you reconsidered.”He stared at Annalise as he answered. “B

I did not waste a single second more with him. I walked around him and made my way to the courtroom. When I went in, I saw Kai, Ricky and Jay speaking to Elvira while Arianna busied herself by speaking to Scarlett.“Congratulations, Elena.” Elvira told me, holding out her hand for me to shake once I had gotten close to them.“Thank you for doing a great job. I appreciate it so much.”“You don’t have to thank me for anything. You deserve happiness.”I gave her a smile. “Thanks.”She averted her eyes to Kai. “I can guarantee they’ll get at least twenty years of prison time, so they won’t bother you for a long time.”Twenty years wasn’t much, but it was okay for me. I just wanted them to suffer and pay for their crimes.“It’s good enough.” Kai responded.“The judge will be in soon.” She informed us. “I’ll go to my seat now.”“Okay.”Kai and I returned to our seats, and this time, Quinn was nowhere to be seen. Good for her. I didn’t want to see her betraying face. It irritated me.The bai

Arianna and I were having a wonderful time until Kai knocked on the door. I rushed to the mirror to wipe off the ridiculous makeup on my face. Arianna was trying to do the joker’s makeup on me. It was awful on me. “Kai,” she blocked the entrance of the room with her body. “What’s up?” He craned his neck. “Where is she?” I hurriedly wiped off the makeup. At this point, I looked as if a rainbow puked on my face. “Where is who?” I heard him sigh before moving Arianna to the side. On instinct, I covered my face with my hands, creating a little space for me to see. “What’s with you?” he asked, coming closer. “Nothing.” “Then look at me.” “I am looking at you.” He put both hands on his waist, head leaned to the side. “I want to see your face.” “No. Arianna did this awful joker makeup on my face. I’m a mess right now.” “I hear Jay calling me,” Arianna smiled sheepishly. “Coming babe.” She stepped out of the room and shut the door. Little shit. Kai stepped even closer to me. “I w

CHAPTER 46ELENA’S POINT OF VIEW The flight to Estonia was the craziest, most mind-blowing flight of my life, with Kai confessing his feelings and opening up to me about his ex. To top it all off, Ricky cried in front of me and, to be honest, it was surprising. I never imagined I’d see him cry. Kai could not understand why he was crying. I couldn’t, too. It wasn’t as if she broke up with him. She only moved to Spain because of her academics.Ricky had said. “You don’t understand. Kayleigh is gorgeous. She’s everything. Elegant, beautiful, and caring. Guys are going to try and get her.”I still didn’t see his reason. All he needed to do was trust her.Kai then suggested. “You can move to Spain if it bothers you so much.”“I can’t leave my business here and besides, my siblings need me here.” He’d said.In the end, we let him cry his heart out while we comforted him.After about three hours of fun and crazy, the jet landed. A car was already waiting for us. Jay took the whee

I dragged my feet along the street, still not wearing my coat. It was dark out and the cold air nipped at my skin, but I wouldn’t give in. I liked the feeling of numbness it gave me. I lifted my head when colorful lights flickered on the snowy floor.A nightclub.Just what I needed to get my mind off things. I was going to party like it was my last night on Earth. Anything to get my mind away from the harshness called reality. I entered the club after being checked by security outside.As soon as I stepped foot into the club, beats revved up my soul. Bodies rubbed against each other’s, sweats mixed and joy flowed in the air faster than a virus ever could. Every soul here was invited to become one, and the loudspeaker was the commander. A commander I was ready to follow for the next few hours.I made a beeline for the bar, ordered three shots of vodka and downed all immediately. It burned my throat as it went down. I didn’t care. It was exactly what I needed.I slammed the
