Chapter 109

ELDRIC’S POINT OF VIEW.

62%

I stared at the huge Ravenscroft crest on the wall in my study, created with pure gold, and the family’s signature jewels: black opal and alexandrite. The damn thing stared back at me, reminding me of my status each time I glanced at t.

I hate the damn thing.

The lion on it, the name, everything about this place makes my blood boil. I clutched the ice pack in my hands harder, placing it on my cheeks. That bastard packed a punch, I’ll give him that.

I swirled the whiskey in my glass, watching as the amber liquid caught the light, and stretched my lips in a slow, thin smile that never touched my eyes.

The crest didn’t belong to Lucien. It didn’t belong to Alicia. And it sure as hell didn’t belong to her parents, those pompous bastards who looked down their

noses at me.

No, it belonged to me.

Me. Eldric Hayes.

Ravenscroft.

I clenched my jaw at the sound of the name in my head.

It should be my name that quakes fear, and admiration in the minds and hearts of every damn person in the world.

Hayes.

A name that reeked of mediocrity. I remember what Alicia’s mother said about it he first time I’d met her.

‘It’s too common.’ She had spat, like my name left a bitter taste in her mouth. That day, I vowed to become something they would all fear. They’d regret ever treating me like I was nothing.

The name Hayes didn’t open doors, not for me, not for anyone in my family, and it sure as hell could never open any doors for Alicia’s brat. It didn’t command respect, didn’t get a man invited to the table where the most powerful men and women dined.

So I’d shed it like a snake sheds its own skin and taken the Ravenscroft name. I’married into it, twisted it around my finger, forced it to fit for me. And damn did it fit so perfectly, and beautifully, no matter what anyone said.

Alicia was a fool. She clung to her fantasies and believed whatever I’d told her. Te pathetic ice-cold heiress who always had a ghost of a smile on her face when she and I attended Ravenscroft High. It made me grit my teeth. She though she was better than me because of a few measly trillions.

I remember the day I told her I loved her. The fool blushed so much, I thought s would pass out from it. I hated her fucking eyes, they were too blue, too fucking happy, too fucking bright.

She had the best things at school. Everything good was reserved for her alone, we had to fight for scraps.

I hated her.

Alicia thought she was clever when she married me; she thought she had finally und her forever happiness.

I remember the way she smiled on our wedding day, which her parents paid for cause they didn’t trust me to give her a wedding that befitted their status.

I hated every second of it. The way they all stated at me like I was a fucking spectacle, their noses in the air, as they furrowed their brows at me.

Alicia, the sweet little heiress, was blinded by her own fairy-tale fantasies, and Ived off of it. I told her I loved her, and she believed me. I told her we’d build a family, and she clung to me like I was the fucking sun, staring at me with that twinkle in her eyes.

Idiot. She never realized I didn’t need her love. All I needed was her name, her money, her access, everything that being a Ravenscroft would get me.

I endured years with her, thinking that once we got married, I would get a share in the fortune and a space in one of the companies as the CEO, but that bitch’s father would never allow it.

I was left to fend for everything on my own, every penny, every damn thing. The ame became an accessory because no one respected me, even when I had
