The king leaned forward with intense conviction. “Don't you realize that you can't keep pretending anymore? Can't you see that absolutely everything has been completely exposed right here in front of you?”His voice grew more incredulous. “And yet you are still claiming and acting as if you didn't do anything wrong, as if you're some kind of innocent victim!”The king's tone became more bitter. “You were supposedly literally fighting for me, fighting for the country, fighting for all of us and our royal family, when in reality you were literally fighting only for yourself and your own selfish ambitions!”His voice rose with righteous anger. “So what other kind of greatness could you possibly be talking about now?”The king's expression grew darker as he revealed the depth of his knowledge. “Oh, you think I don't know what you have been planning all along? You think I'm that naive and blind?”His voice became more intense. “I know everything that you've been scheming. I know exactly w

Immediately after hearing his brother's harsh words about shame and disgust, that was when the king's brother felt a surge of desperate indignation rise up within him.His voice became more passionate and pleading as he tried to defend himself against these accusations.“Why would you possibly be disgusted with me?” he demanded, his tone filled with genuine confusion and hurt. “Like, seriously, if we're going to be completely frank and sincere about all of this, what exactly have I done wrong?”His voice grew more urgent as he pressed his case. “Are you honestly telling me that you are going to believe whatever lies and propaganda the Supreme King literally feeds you, and you will abandon your own flesh and blood brother who has always stood by you?”The brother's tone became more emotional. “Have I ever done anything, even once, that would give you legitimate reason to feel as if I don't literally want to fight beside you in battle?”His voice cracked slightly with emotion. “Have

Immediately after hearing his brother's accusations about betrayal and deception, that was when the king's brother felt his world spinning completely out of control.His face flushed red with a mixture of rage, confusion, and desperate denial as he tried to make sense of what was happening.“What the hell are you talking about?” he shouted, his voice echoing off the chamber walls with raw emotion. “What the hell did I supposedly start that justifies this ambush?”His hands gestured wildly as he defended himself. “Everything that I have ever done, every single action I have taken, was purely to protect you and your throne!”His voice cracked with what seemed like genuine anguish. “Everything I did was for the betterment of this royal family, for the safety of everybody in this kingdom!”The brother's tone became more desperate and pleading. “But what are you doing to me right now? You're conniving behind my back to literally support and ally with the enemy!”He pointed accusingly at

At that moment, upon hearing the unexpected sound of clapping echoing through what should have been a completely private conversation, that was when the king's brother immediately spun around in alarm.His head swiveled left and right as he scanned every corner of the chamber, his eyes searching desperately for the source of the applause.But he couldn't see anybody anywhere in the room besides himself and his brother, which made the situation even more unsettling.“What did I just hear?” he demanded, his voice filled with confusion and growing panic. “Is somebody actually here in this room with us?”His tone became more urgent as the implications of being overheard hit him.“Who else has been listening to our conversation?”Then that was when the king, still seated calmly in his chair, shook his head with what appeared to be resignation mixed with something that might have been disappointing.“I'm sorry to have to tell you this,” the king said, his voice carrying an odd tone that his

At that moment, after listening to all of his brother's arguments about family unity, military strategy, and the promise of ending multiple conflicts, the king finally began to see a path forward through his grief and anger.“So, if I literally join you in all of this planning and give you my royal approval,”he said slowly, working through the implications in his mind, “that simply means my beloved son, the prince, is finally going to get the revenge and justice he deserves.”His voice grew stronger as he continued. “That simply means I will not have to live in fear of the Supreme King's manipulation and threats anymore.”The king's expression became more hopeful. “I will be able to effectively guarantee that this kingdom is going to be very, very peaceful and won't literally be trapped in chaos and constant warfare anymore.”He leaned forward with growing conviction. “And most importantly, it's going to be properly protected from all external and internal threats.”But then the ki

At that moment, the king remained seated in his chair, looking utterly shocked and completely overwhelmed by everything that had just been revealed to him.He was utterly unprepared for these revelations, wasn't expecting to hear any of this information from his own brother, the person he had trusted more than anyone else in the kingdom.His mind was spinning with the implications of learning that his brother had been secretly running a militant organization, that most of his family were involved, and that everything he thought he knew about the ongoing conflicts might be built on lies.Then he took a deep breath, trying to steady himself and find words adequate to express the chaos of emotions swirling inside him.“Ah, I don't really know what to say at this moment,” he finally admitted, his voice sounding tired and confused. “This is all so much to process, so many secrets revealed all at once.”Then immediately, seeing his brother's hesitation and the uncertainty written all over

At that moment, hearing the conviction and specificity in her captor's voice and realizing that he genuinely believed he had evidence of her connection to someone, though she still had no clear idea who that might be, Malisa felt a mixture of confusion and growing irritation at the impossible situation she found herself trapped in.“Like I said before, and I'm going to say it again because apparently you weren't listening carefully enough the first time,” she replied with a tone that mixed exasperation with defiance. “I meet with many different people, so many different kinds of people in the course of my professional and personal life that it would be impossible to keep track of every single interaction.”Her voice grew stronger as she continued her explanation.“I am a senior director at Sky Bank, which means that my job requires me to meet with dozens of people every single week when it comes to business opportunities, potential clients, professional networking events, industry co

His voice became almost casual as he delivered his most chilling threat.“I don't care about any of that, and I am very, very serious about what I'm telling you right now,” he said with the calm confidence of someone who had clearly done terrible things before. “So this is your final opportunity to make the smart choice and avoid unnecessary suffering.”He straightened up and crossed his arms over his chest.“Now tell me everything you know about this person who killed my son, and more importantly, I need you to call this person immediately and convince them to come here to this location,” he demanded with renewed intensity. “If you don't cooperate fully and completely, then you are not going to leave here looking anything like the way you brought in here today.”At that moment, seeing the unmistakable look of pure hatred and murderous intent in Jefferson's father's partially visible eyes, and observing the way his entire body had become rigid with barely controlled violence and rag

“So if you choose to cooperate with me and provide the vital information I need concerning this person who has destroyed my family, then I want you to know with absolute certainty that you are going to walk out of here completely unharmed,” the masked man continued, his voice taking on what he probably thought was a reassuring tone but still carried an underlying threat. “Nobody is going to hurt you in any way, you are not going to suffer any injuries that would require medical attention or a trip to the hospital, and you will be able to return to your normal life as if this incident never happened.”He gestured with his hands in what seemed like an attempt at a calming manner.“Just talk to me honestly and openly, just give me exactly what I want and need to track down this individual, and I will make absolutely sure that our business here is concluded quickly and efficiently,” he said with growing intensity. “Nobody is going to disturb you or threaten you or your loved ones ever a

Malisa was seated uncomfortably in a hard wooden chair, her body firmly restrained and tied down to the chair with thick ropes that bit into her wrists and ankles whenever she tried to shift her position or test the strength of her bonds.Even though she had not been physically beaten or assaulted since being forcibly taken from the street where she had been driving alone, and there were no visible bruises or marks of violence on her face or exposed skin, she was visibly seething with anger and frustration at her current helpless predicament.Her jaw was clenched tight with barely controlled rage, and her eyes burned with fury and defiance as she stared straight ahead into the space around her, because she knew with absolute certainty that she had been deliberately and professionally kidnapped by people who clearly had specific intentions and plans for her.The calculated nature of her abduction, the careful way they had snatched her off the street without causing a scene or leaving w

He had known even then that whatever feelings might have existed between them, it simply wasn't going to work out during that period of their lives, when she was still so young and he was already being pulled into the dangerous adult world that would eventually define his existence.But now, after all these years had passed and he was hearing that Megan had literally finished university and was graduating with her degree, he honestly didn't know what he was supposed to think or feel about the possibilities that might now exist between them.The age difference that had seemed so significant and problematic when they were teenagers was much less relevant now that they were both adults who had lived their own lives and gained their own experiences.And despite the fact that he had been so incredibly busy with the dangerous complexities of his current life, so consumed with survival and revenge and protecting himself from threats, he realized with a sharp pang of guilt that he had not bee

At that moment, upon hearing Raymond's firm commitment and the genuine determination in his voice that indicated he was truly planning to be there for this important milestone, Madam Veronica's entire tone shifted dramatically from anger and disappointment to relief and satisfaction.She nodded her head approvingly on the phone, even though Raymond couldn't see the gesture, her voice now carrying warmth and approval instead of the sharp edge of accusation that had dominated their conversation just moments before.“Good, this is definitely a very welcome development, and I am genuinely pleased to hear you say that with such conviction,” she said, the tension in her voice beginning to dissolve as she realized that Raymond was taking this seriously. “I have to admit that I was starting to worry that you had completely forgotten about Megan and everything she means to both of us, but hearing your commitment now gives me hope that tomorrow will be a special day for her.”She paused briefl

CHAPTER 544THE VERDICT 'You're under arrest, Mr Richard. Let me see your hands,' the chief of police demanded, his voice loud and stern.The senator knew at that point that there was no way to escape. He had been exposed, and the only thing left to do was to accept his fate.He raised his hands and was handcuffed while the other police officers pushed him further along.'You can't do this, please! There must be another way,' Jessica managed to say, though she wasn't sure what she was saying.The evidence was everywhere and she knew she wouldn't be able to avoid this one.Her husband was in trouble, and if she wasn't careful, she was going to get caught up in it too.By the time they came out of the house, everyone in the estate had gathered to witness the commotion. They stood with shocked expressions on their faces.The senator, who had just expressed his desire to become governor, was now handcuffed and being taken away by the police.It was a completely new experience for everyon

CHAPTER 543SHAMEJudge West was ashamed when he looked at his son.He had never been so angry about anything in his life. He was so furious that he felt like murdering someone to quell his anger.He was sitting in his house, about to finalise a deal, when the authorities burst in and began arresting everyone.This had never happened before, and it didn't take long to realise that it was his foolish son who had done it, exposing him to forces too big to tear down.'Father, what's going on, and why are you handcuffed like a criminal?' Andrew asked, his eyes filled with confusion.He had thought that, once he got to the police station, he would just call his father and everything would be settled. But what he was witnessing was a big shock that he couldn't explain.What was he going to do without his father, who had always been a pillar of support and shed light on his path?The road ahead seemed slippery and dark, and for the first time, he was scared of what the future might hold."Fa

CHAPTER 542DEFEATED "Suit yourself, but you're done for, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can try everything you know, but it won't work," Jeremy said confidently to Andrew. He made sure that he left no stone unturned.Everything that had happened had made Jeremy exasperated and he was ready to get justice.He had worked too hard to allow Andrew to be released so easily. He wasn't going to allow it. He was going to make the man suffer for everything he had put him through."You don't know what you're doing. If you did, you would stop now. I come from one of the most powerful families in New York, and you will not walk free from what you have done." Andrew muttered angrily to Jeremy.He couldn't believe that his control over those powerful men had been reduced to nothing. He was handcuffed like a common criminal; his father would be so disappointed to see him like this. This was a big disgrace to a man of his standing.He needed to think of an escape plan. He could not al

CHAPTER 541APPREHENDED Jeremy came outside and looked at the boss. They maintained eye contact for a while before Jeremy spoke with realisation "I actually knew that you were part of the circle, but I wanted to be sure before making any moves. Now it has come to light," Jeremy muttered with a smirk.He had his doubts, but after some research and conversations, he discovered that he was on the right track.Andrew,his father's butler had been the circus master all along while he was acting as though he had his back and wanted the best for him."After I spoke to you, you said something in that direction, but you quickly diverted it. I knew that something was wrong. I paid more attention whenever we spoke, but I didn't want to take drastic steps without solid evidence, because i knew that men like you could easily escape the law and i didn't want to take any chances. Now that we have proof, you will go down," Jeremy added. He was disgusted by Andrew.He was even surprised himself to se

CHAPTER 540FOLLOW THE TRAILS The circus boss started laughing to himself; he couldn't believe he had missed it. The answer he had been craving had been right in front of him the whole time, but he just hadn't noticed.For him, this was the connection he had been searching for, and there was no way he wasn't going to get what he wanted.The owner of the school, Mr Philip, must have known something, or rather, received the support he needed, which was why he thought he could challenge him.Although he was angry with the senator for his mistake, there was no reason why Mr Philip couldn't be involved.The situation was complex, but all he wanted to do was unravel the connection and iron out the kinks.He took out his phone and dialled a number; his patience was wearing thin and he just wanted to do something quickly.'Hello boss, at your service,' a man at the other end quickly answered, his voice filled with humility and loyalty.'Do you know Mr Philip's house? He's the owner of the bi

CHAPTER 539NEW DISCOVERY "What have I done? The Senator asked in awe, his mouth open in anger.It wasn't what he had expected Mr Raymond to say and the word alone had left him distraught."Don't you dare point the finger at me Raymond, I wasn't the one who was greedy and wanted twenty percent of someone else's profits. It was your selfishness and greed that brought us to where we are now". The Senator condemned, his tone firm with accusation.He wasn't going to accept Raymond's words and how he wanted to paint him as the bad guy. He had seen the signs and he wouldn't accept it."Greed, you say? You don't have the right to call me greedy. You wanted the governorship and you didn't care who you hurt as long as you got it. You're practically the reason we're in this mess," Mr Raymond fired back at the Senator.He was furious that the Senator was trying to use his involvement with Mr Philip to pin the blame on him.The indulgence of Mr Philip couldn't be the reason why things were going
