Chapter: You Want Him to Take Revenge After Nicholas had finally succeeded in “humiliating me and doing exactly what he wanted.” Davios could not even do anything. All those things “pissed me off so badly.” But I could not say a word and instead just pretended and kept silent. Of course, I cannot say a word yet because I have no right. “Again.” He literally stripped me of all my rights right there in my presence. I cannot even say anything or even do anything. Even when I tried to talk to him, the council members immediately signaled for me to sit down. “Want to be in the Mansion and if I still want to be respected, I had no choice but accept what he wants.” I felt so angry. I felt like I was about to run mad. This was not how I planned it, but definitely, I know that one thing. “I’d actually succeeded.” Darius had finally made everything so obvious to me. He had finally made everything work perfectly for me. Because I know that he looked very angry and vengeful the last time we were having a discussion. “And I know he'

Chapter: No Emotions Watching them all argue together, I couldn't help but feel so sad and heartbroken. I never wanted it to turn out like this. I never wanted Darius and Nicholas to end up fighting each other no matter what, because I just wanted them to be at peace with each other. But none of that was happening. I just had to sit there like a stone and watch them argue and hate each other. And I know that this was all the plan of Nora. It was more than obvious that Nora was the one doing all this. I could see it in the way she smiled when she looked at me. It was like she was signaling me that her plans were working out just the way she wanted it to. And I could not do anything about it. Even Darius looked at me with pity. But I was not able to even make a move because I don't want to offend Nicholas in any way. And the only way to be on his good side is by silently sitting down there and watching. “Give me that position. I did not want that position no matter what.” It was soon time for the counci

Chapter: Standing Up Against HimStanding up against Nicholas. I know it was a really bad thing now, something I'm not supposed to do. But I know that I have to do it because I have to at least show it to my mother that I'm ready to protect her and I'm ready to stand by her. But if I am not able to stand up for her, then she would continue to see me as somebody who is weak for my brother. And I am really not like that. I turn my attention back to Nicholas and make sure that my frown was deep enough for him to realize that I was really angry with him. “You cannot just take away my mother's position like that. I know that that's what she wanted to do since everyone was whispering about it, everyone was literally talking about it. Even the males were already pointing it out that you don't want my mother to be the Leader anymore. And I would not just accept that. At least think of it. Laura is not even ready to become a Leader. If you ask her a million times, she doesn't want it,” I said to Nicholas, hoping he would li

Chapter: No Improvement Once the meeting was already about to commence, I couldn't help but anticipate waiting for Nicholas to make that one mistake that will make Darius finally side with me. And he did it. He cleared his throat and stood up from the Position as everyone bowed to him. He looked so angry, but his gaze was still on Laura. As his gaze on Laura seemed a bit softened, I knew that something was definitely about to happen. I could not wait. Despite the fact that I was going to lose my Leader position anytime soon, I still could not wait and was anticipating what he was going to do to me. How he was going to betray his brother by taking away the one thing that makes me a royal in this Mansion. I stood. I sat down and watched as he began his speech. “Thank you everyone for showing up here. I am really grateful that you guys came here at this time and the fact that you guys have been patient with me enough despite the fact that I never wanted to have another Partner because of what have always happ

Chapter: Your Poor LifeLaura was not "rejecting it because she liked being poor." She was "rejecting me because she was slowly losing feelings for me." This was clearly all Darius's fault. It made me so angry that I rolled my hand into a fist, hiding it behind me so she would not see it and think maybe I am angry at her thinking about everything. I felt so angry at Darius I just wanted to crush his head into pieces. But I can't do that. Instead, I'm going to get to Leader Nora. I would make sure that Nora lets go of that position as the Leader. She's going to give it to Laura no matter what. There is nothing Laura will tell me. I guess for me to do this and for my plan to work out, I don't need to tell Laura anymore. Instead, I just need to put it into action. I looked at Laura with a smile and placed my hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to worry, Laura. I won't stress you too much anymore and I won't bother you. I see that you don't want it and I don't plan on forcing it on you. I don't want to force

Chapter: Not Able to HelpI don't know why, but no matter what I do, Laura "does always find a way to annoy me." She "always looks for a way to piss me off." She "always does things that would make me want to yell at her, want to yell at her angrily." And now I don't know what to do. I feel so frustrated. I can't believe I am clearly giving her a higher position and she's dragging with me that she "does not want to take that position and wants to go back to the slave quarters." I know I wasn't supposed to yell at her the way I did, but I don't have a choice. She just makes me so angry and so frustrated these few days that I don't know what to do. I watched her being harassed by Leader Nora, unable to control myself. Now I am taking away Leader Nora's position and giving it to her, yet she is pissing me off this way. I know how many ladies "would die for that position I am giving to her that she keeps rejecting." I know how many ladies "would want everything I am giving to her, but yet she's still doing this t

Working hard, he made a name for himself, the god of war himself in a man's form, that was how people had viewed him and he became the supreme general.
But one day after bringing victory to his country once more, a call came through for him and he found out his parents had been killed and his sister was to be sold off at an auction.

A lot had happened within the five years he was away, his family had been destroyed by those who set him up, the Innocent had been wrongfully punished for spending the night with him, not to mention the death of his parents.

Chapter: At The BeachThe wind was cool against Jayden's skin, whispering softly a song of empathy into his ear. He stood by the river bank, staring at the vast, wide and deep water, wondering just how far his parents had gone, how deep they had sunk, how much they had struggled, before finally giving up the ghost to rest in a better place. He felt a surge of emotions swarming inside of him, hate, anger, pain, agony, all emotions troubled his peace of mind. There, in the depth of that harsh water, laid the souls of Mr and Mrs Knox, his own parents. His eyes fell closed, a prayer whispered in his mind. A prayer to and for his parents. "I hope you find peace together, walking into the afterlife hand in hand, loving each other even more than ever now. I hope that you keep watch over us as the clouds during the day and the stars during the night. I hope that you never leave Ella and i for a single moment, watch our every steps and keep on the right path." His phone started vibrating in his pocket but he s

Chapter: Painful Death Ella stared at her brother. "What do I want to do with my life?" He nodded his head. "Yeah. What is something that is on your mind that you want to accomplish?" Her face hardened kind of. "I want to get revenge on all of those bastards that did this to us! I want to make them pay! That is what I want to accomplish. A punishment worse than death is what I want to give to them!" "No." Jayden's voice was soft as he said it but it held some authority. "You will not do that?" Ella's eyes widened. "What? Don't you want to make them pay for what they did to our family, to Mom and dad, to me, to you! Don't you?""I do!" Jayden's cool tone broke as he snapped. He let out a soft breath and continued in his usual cool tone, "I do. I want to get revenge on them more than you think and I know that you must feel the same way that I do--""So why are you trying to stop me from getting revenge on them?" Her voice broke, the bitterness of the memory in her head causing her to want to shudder. "Be

Chapter: His Silent PainsIt was large, spacious, accommodating and quite empty, but it felt like home. Jayden and his sister, Ella, had spent the past few days changing some things in the house they did not like, for example, Ella had wanted new sofas and a softer bed in her room.She had taken her time to redecorate her room to her taste. Jayden did not mind anything, he could have stayed there the way it was, but he was more than willing to spend as much as needed for his sister.Everything was to her taste now and he was glad that she liked it. Things were not the same, obviously, even though the house was to their liking now-- Ella's liking to be precise-- the house still felt empty. It was just the two of them now, their parents were no more. Jayden did not like to think back on it but he knew he had to face that reality soon.The morning sun was hanging brightly in the whitish blue sky, the estate was quiet and peaceful, only few houses were there, apparently only the richest of the richest people liv

Chapter: Cutting Ties Elsie was forced to smile. She finally succumbed to the girl's wishes but only with her own conditions. "Fine. But I will find the place by myself. I don't know how this will sound to you but I don't want you to know where I will be staying."Jayden squinted his eyes softly. "What? I don't... I don't understand what you mean."Elsie smiled at Ella and gently freed herself from the girl's hold. Walking towards Jayden, she took his hand in hers and squeezed it softly, "when we met... The way we met, the way our history got intertwined, it was by accident. We should have not done what we did but it happened. "I don't regret it," she saw a spark of surprise in his eyes at her words but she continued on like she had not seen it. "What has happened has happened. I think it's only right that we... Cut every ties here and say our goodbye. "I don't want to know where you are staying no matter how curious I am and I don't want you to know where I will be staying no matter how curious you are.

Chapter: Let me Repay You Jayden waited her response and she herself was too flustered to think well. "I mean I cannot, I can't. You have to be with your sister, your family, she is your family and I'm not.""It does not matter. I have caused you too much loss, I owe you this, I need to repay you in every single way I can!" Jayden said firmly.Ella had opened her eyes and sat up straight without resting on him. "I don't need your sympathy." Elsie said softly. "I know that I am pathetic and poor. I own nothing of value and I myself no longer hold any value, I know, but I do not want your sympathy. It will only make me feel worse than I already am." "This is not sympathy, this is a debt I must repay! I want to do this for you not to wound your ego but to heal my own. I cannot feel better unless you are in a better condition." His voice became cool. "How can you expect a man to live knowing well that he put you in this kind of situation?""You did not put me here, I put myself here, okay? So stop feeling like y

Chapter: The Softeness Has Already Left His Eyes A gentle knock on Elsie's door caused her to rise to her feet from her small bed on the ground, and she walked towards it. She reached for the handle with caution and questioned whoever was there. "It's me. "It's alright," Jayden said from the other side of the door.Elsie twisted the knot and opened the door. Her eyes landed on the man before her. She had been thinking about him not quite long ago and here he was now, standing right in front of her.She allowed him inside her shabby-looking apartment, and she settled on her small foam bed while he settled on the floor. She wanted to ask him to sit on the bed next to her, but she did not know how the offer might sound. He might think she would be trying to get close to him or something like that, but she just did not want him to disrespect his military uniform. But she kept quiet and said nothing about it instead. Her eyes landed on his facial features, the softness in his eyes that she had met five years ago had gone. She still co
