The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 31: Chad's little Secret

Another day and another work for Elyse to do. She slightly regrets that she didn't do her task last night but half of her tells that she deserves some rest. Ever since she became a member of the Student Council, she has become very busy and had no time for herself. Last night was fresh air for Elyse to have.

Strange enough, Elyse felt comfortable that night when both of them took a stroll in the middle of the night. She noticed one thing about Chad last night.

For the first time, she saw his eyes being sad and gloomy. Maybe it was only because of the mood but she feels that there was something wrong.

'I wonder why he made such a face...' she mumbles to herself while walking in the hallway carrying a bag full of paperwork that she just finished. She's going to report this to Raymond and go to her class. Although she was already late she had no other choice. Fortunately, the teachers seem to understand Elyse so they let her be late for the class.

"Is this natural?" She whispered and sigh.

"Of course, it's not. Who's in their right mind to not care about their student's attendance?"

"But forget about that... I wonder why he made such a face." She said to herself.

"His face... looks like —" she pauses and stopped walking. There's something about Chad that she couldn't say in words. He looks sad and gloomy but is also waiting for someone. Or just simply in love with someone, he can't have. But she cannot put it into words altogether. Because she knows there's still something missing.

And that missing piece is about her.

Elyse doesn't want to assume, but that's what her guts have been telling her about her.

She heaves a deep sigh and shakes her head off.

"There's no time for this. I should be bothered by the Rahania students." She mumbles to herself while walking in the quiet hallway alone on her way to see Raymond.

Louisette hasn't done anything for now but she knows that Louisette will sometime trouble her. Those red eyes stare at her as if mocking at her situation and her evil smiles that smell trouble. For some reason, it made Elyse feel pissed instead of being afraid of her.

Hildegarde and Zues. Elyse found a piece of new information earlier today. Hildegarde is a noble household that is also on par with Zues. The Zues Family are known to be the Alphas of Battlefield or War and Hildegarde are the Betas of Warriors.

When Duke Caeden III Zues, Tina's father came back to the Zues Mansion to become powerful, his first step was to be remarried in the lady of Hildegarde. Also, it doesn't seem that Duke Zues likes the lady of Hildegarde that he married. Elyse found out that in order to be powerful he needed a strong power that would support him in the near future. To search for his long-lost daughter, he needed an incredible power to protect her in the future. And so, he married the lady of Hildegarde. The love story between them isn't like others.

Both don't love nor like and just used each other for their own gain. Duke Zues wanted power and Lady Hildegarde wanted freedom from her family. But everything went wrong when she gave birth to two boys. Duke Zues couldn't grasp the reality of cheating on his first love — Rafaela and so he began to be a cold father to the two brothers. He didn't give them the name "Zues" and instead gave them "Hildegarde" their mother's maiden name.

Of course, Lady Hildegarde understood that he loves very much his ex-wife. But they're only children, they shouldn't feel the cold shoulders of their father just because of a woman. Lady Hildegarde deeply regretted that she married him not because he didn't love her but because he was cold to his sons. To his children. The very thing that Lady Hildegarde was afraid of.
