KLAUS' POVI push aside the white drape and step into the VIP dining section of the restaurant. Our restaurant, Tiffany and I, Tables and chairs were covered in white sheets with floral patterns. Chairs were bent towards the table. I walked around them, heading to the table at the back, which was already set up. The ivory restaurant is closed for the day already. I made sure to inform the owners of his place that I needed absolute privacy. I sit on one of the two chairs and wait for her to arrive. I have no idea if she'll show. Maybe she hadn't gotten the letter, or maybe she might not care anymore.During the whole drive here, I wondered what I would say to her if she eventually came. Nothing I thought of seemed to be the right thing to say. Even when I thought about being hostile to her, it didn't seem right either. But, even after she betrayed me and broke my heart, why did becoming mad at me seem like the wrong thing to do? What she did crush me. I

Lisa's POV I rock the baby back and forth in my arms, singing lullabies to her. It has been nearly a week since Frances and Brandon have been staying at the estate. Their wedding is in a couple of days. With Frances being pregnant, they had to quicken the marriage preparations. I sink to the edge of the bed, watching her eyes close. She was crying when I first got here, and I've managed to calm her down. Dom was in the bathroom, cleaning it up before he left for the Senate meeting, scheduled to start in half an hour. I smiled down at her. I couldn't help but wonder how someone who had made a part of my life a nightmare could have something so precious and innocent. The front door opened and I froze where I sat, unable to move."Dominic, I wanted to go over a few things with you before the meeting starts." Kayden freezes as he sees me holding a baby.I stood up. Kayden, take it easy. Don't freak out; I can explain everything. "

LISA'S POV Tonight's party is an informal affair. The reason given to the guests is that the affair can be a homely affair and an opportunity to eat and drink with the newlyweds, it's their last night at the Council before they would be heading to Asia for their honeymoon. Kayden and I both know that the reason he made the party informal is so that I can be near him throughout the night at his side. One last time before I leave forever. I don't protest against the arrangement as I don't want to take anything away from Franc’s and Brandon's celebratory dinner. Deep down, I admit that I am glad the party is set up like this, I wanted to sit with the Order for one last time. Tonight's my last chance to annoy Colton. To see everyone share jokes and laughter. To act as if Kayden didn't crush my heart. I'm hoping France would be a chance to start all over again. I'm sure I can do that.I'm used to being by myself which is a good thing. Bu

Lisa's POV We walk into the lobby and Klaus heads towards the receptionist’s desk. Looking around, I couldn't help but feel frightened. What if the rebels surround us again? Luke and Genevieve mumble an excuse and head into the dining room for breakfast. I don't bother telling them it's reserved for guests only; they know and they don't care. I find a seat and wait for Klaus to return. Dom has remained silent. He is constantly on his phone texting Brandon, who's looking after his daughter.Klaus walks over. "Teddy isn't here. His real name is Teddy. But, I got his address. Where are my sister and Luke? We need to leave now. ""The dining room," I answer my stomach grumbling at the mention of food.Putting his phone into his suit jacket, he walks towards the dining room. Dom and I follow behind him."How's the gash on your head?" Klaus asks me."I didn't think you cared about me.""

Lisa's POV As we walk out of the room, Frances' strength seems to come back bit by bit. We pass a couple of empty cells before coming to a much larger cell holding two women and the rest of the order. Klaus' words come to my mind. The women are both demigods from Elipson. I need to be careful around them."What a surprise! Of all the people I expected to see down here, you were the last. " Elijah says, "surprised to see me down here." He winces as the chain pulls at him for exercising too much energy. When I look around the room, Kayden isn't with them. I tried to ignore the dread consuming me, but it was proving difficult as time went by.I insert the key into the lock, and the door unlocks with a twist."Where's Kayden?" I ask as I pull the door open."We have no idea," Morrison answers. "He spent an hour here with us before he was whisked away, and we haven't seen him since then."When I retrieve Ch
