After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Chapter 22
Bethany looked around to see that there were more suitcases stuffed with letters when she tried to open them. At some point, she got tired. She squeezed her face, and immediately fisted her hands. However, she wanted to make sure the investigation was complete. “What if the letter was something bad. You should check it out. Maybe there's more. Let's pour out the letters, check deeper. Something's definitely wrong.” He urged and the next thing she did shocked him. She walked over to where the letters were and made sure to pick them up, and then she stared at the envelope for a few seconds before pulling out the letter that was inside. Bethany's eyes darted around the lines, and the frown that was there slowly started to turn into a smile. She stared at the letter with so much compassion it got him worried about what it might be. “What does the letter say? Does it incriminate him?” Henry asked. He seemed more interested in what the letter was saying, so he inched closer to

“You must actually be kidding me. Do you think I would want to cover up a crime? Checking those boxes will take forever, and you want us to do that now because you're insecure, or sure of a crime when clearly the letter says it's for charity.” He frowned. “That's the point. The letter. That letter contained a huge help that he offered. How was he able to get that kind of money? The case isn't closed. If you close down the case then I guess it's because you want to, but as for me, I don't think I want the case closed now until every letter is open.” His voice was certain, with no remorse. Bethany clenched her fists, her glare sharp. As much as she wanted to argue, she knew Henry had a point. Still, the thought of dragging her team into unnecessary trouble made her hesitate. She sighed, anxiety settling in her chest. She had made a promise to herself to make sure Norman comes out of prison, but she still needs to follow certain procedures. “You know why I’m doing this,” Henry said fi

Mr Lucas the mayor was now seated with Mr Havold, Henry's father. They seemed to be having a good time, sipping wine, and enjoying themselves.A laugh erupted from Lucas' lips. He was the happiest at this time. However, Havold was quiet, watching him speak. “I must say, your son is really something. He was the one who uncovered everything. I'm so proud of him. You must be really proud as well.” Havold chuckled. He seemed to be enjoying the conversation. His eyes were fixed on the mayor who was still busy praising his son.“Yes of course I'm proud of my son. Besides, he was the reason a fraud star like Norman was caught. I really want to make sure he stays in jail forever. Thankfully he has video evidence that can change everything. But it's not such a big deal.”Lucas raised his brows. “What did you say, not a big deal? Are you kidding me?” Lucas exclaimed it seemed he had a lot in mind as well. His lips were parted, and he stared at Havold for a while. It seemed Havold wasn't as i

Havold was seated in the conference where a lot of big shots had been announced. He couldn't help but look around, and smile. This was his moment to shine, and his son had given that opportunity, he was going to make the best of it.Soon, their family name was going to spread, and a lot of people were going to know their family name for the good things they did, with the positive reviews from the public, they'll become one of the most important people in society.A smirk plastered on their lips, and there was a bit of confusion. No one knew what was actually going on here, at least not yet. There were many murmurs. Some say that Havold had come to tell the truth.Suddenly, Havold cleared his throat, his eyes glued to the crowd.“Good day ladies, and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and even Amazon journalists. I want to thank you for honouring my person, and for coming here to uncover the mask of a very corrupt man.” He spoke with a loud voice that demanded attention.As soon as he s

“ma'am, can you please give us the information we want to hear? You being quiet doesn't really confirm anything.” Immediately that way said, Bethany raised her head, and handed a white envelope that has been in her hands for a while. “Take this, and read it to the world. This is what we have been seeing. Letters like this.” She expressed, passing another angry gaze at Henry before walking away. Her hands were shaking, and she wanted nothing more than to leave that place.Immediately the journal list got her eyes on the letter, she turned towards the camera, and started reading the inked letters. However, at some point, she frowned, but didn't stop reading.“Thank you, Mr Norman for all you do. My family would never stop being grateful for all the things you have done for them. You have shown them that there's always someone with a difference. You are that person.” She gaped, but then the bank officials went in with some of the other officials it seemed they wanted to see things for

Havold couldn't contain himself in the car. His eyes darkened, and he tried to understand himself. There was something definitely going on, something that nobody understood.It wasn't as easy as expected, and things were going haywire. As soon as he got to Lucas’s office, he didn't wait for his presence to be told. He rushed into the office, and rushed to where Lucas was seated.“Did you see what happened out there? Why didn't you tell me about you knowing the truth?” Lucas' eyes widened. “How did you know that? Yes I knew the truth, but I didn't know how to approach you, but come on. You were already in the conference. Your phone wasn't even being passed to you no matter how many times I called.”With that, he immediately slammed both hands on the table. Havold wasn't having it. He had a fixed expression. His eyes turned dark, and he immediately demanded to know why he was quiet all the while.“You knew this was going to happen and at the end of the day, you didn't even bother to te

“You have us unverified information. I believe very well that this was your fault. Come on, you have to understand that there are a lot of things involved here.”He nodded. “ I admit that it was both of our fault, but I have a solution. How about we do something about the people. We bring up those that are against normal. I know they'll support us. How about we make them know who's boss?”“You're right. I think there's a way to make that happen. It's all a matter of time. I'll get in contact with some of the men, and ensure they all find something to charge him with.”He was bragging hard, but Havold listened to everything that was being said. “Listen anyway you do it, as long as it is in my favour, then I don't care. I don't want to have to hear anything about being impeached.”Lucas gulped. “There's no problem. Everything is going to be fine. I have a feeling it's going to be.” “Better.” Havold replied, and walked away from there. He hated everything that was happening, and couldn

Lana paced around. She was extremely worried about him, and tried her best to check up on him, but all attempts to reach him on phone proved abortive.“He’s never this way. He might be angry, but will never not take my call. Besides, I've never done anything to make him angry, or did I?” she asked herself, and immediately sighed. There was a lot on her head, and she pressed her lips together, trying to understand the whole situation. Her facial expression was in a frown, and her lips were tied together. She was confused, and didn't know what to do above everything. Her heart ached, and she was worried about everything else. “One last time. I'll try one last time.” She encouraged herself, trying her best to reach him, but despite it ringing, he didn't want to take up the call.“Does he want to be alone? Or is he sick?” She tried finding out the reason all this was happening, but it didn't seem like she had any choice. A sigh left her lips, and then she ran her hands through her hair

As Norman returned to the kingdom with the phoenix feather in hand, a murmur of respect rippled through the crowd.“Did you hear the rumours? Some say it is even true that he was the one who defeated the phoenix and brought back the feathers.” The elder, who had previously been, now regarded Norman with a newfound sense of admiration. Whispers and speculations spread like wildfire as Norman approached the queen, the feather held out in offering.The queen's eyes narrowed slightly as she took the feather, her voice tinged with curiosity. "Hmm, is this really a phoenix feather? Are you sure you defeated the phoenix?" she asked, her tone probing for details. “Or is this fake?” The kingdom's inhabitants gathered around, eager to hear Norman's tale and verify the authenticity of his claim. However, Norman remained unfazed by the commotion. He had other priorities in mind, and his focus was fixed on achieving a specific goal.With a calm demeanour, Norman stood before the queen, his eyes

Queen Kurai's eyes sparkled with intrigue as she regarded Norman, her gaze lingering on him with a mixture of curiosity and admiration. "I think I have underestimated you," she said, a smile playing on her lips. "You seem like someone worthy of a lot of things. So far, you've passed most of the tests I've given you."Her expression turned serious, her voice taking on a subtle edge. "But let's not forget this, Norman," she said, her words dripping with an unspoken warning. The air seemed to thicken with tension as the stakes hung unspoken, a gentle reminder of the consequences of failure.Norman met her gaze, his smile unwavering, his eyes locked on hers with a fierce determination. "I'm ready for anything you want to bring," he said, his voice steady and confident. The challenge seemed to have ignited a fire within him, and he stood tall, his shoulders squared and his spirit unbroken, ready to face whatever lay ahead.The queen's smile grew, her eyes gleaming with a hint of excitement
Chapter 99
Norman's throat constricted as he swallowed, his mind racing with anticipation and fear. Not fear, but worry.The queen's words echoed in his thoughts…“This challenge is meant to break you.” “But what did it entail?” he asked himself because she hadn't said anything else. She had given him no hint, no clue, just a warning that left him wondering. The more he thought about it, the more his imagination ran wild with worst-case scenarios.As he stood there, Norman couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of his stomach. It was a heavy, gnawing sensation that seemed to spread through his entire body, making his muscles tense and his heart pound. What lay ahead? Would he emerge victorious from this, or would this challenge indeed break him as she said? The uncertainty was suffocating, and Norman's anxiety grew with each passing moment.He tried to push the thoughts away, to focus on the present, but his mind kept wandering back to the unknown challenge. Would it
Chapter 98
The city of Yivel was a mosaic of stone spires and huge bazaars, but its north quarter was an open sore, infested by a plague of death that poisoned the air and stilled the streets. The plague quarter was quarantined, its narrow streets shut behind wooden palisades, their faces smeared with notices in blood-red paint. The plague was merciless, its victims wiry and sweating, their bodies smeared with festering black boils, their coughs death knells. There were empty houses, boarded-up windows, chalk-crossed doors. There was a reek of rot, and a small, acrid bite of medicinal herbs that could not stem the tide. Yivel's best physicians, wrapped in white robes and leather hoods, glided like spirits, their remedies futile, their furrowed, tortured faces. Norman, a foreigner to this world, was tasked with finding the antidote where the smartest had fallen short, his quest a thread held to the vault and Murai, the Kurai most precious, his master's sister, who bore it next to her heart.Norma

Northern villages were a hard country, their wind-battered, curved hills battered by war and worn by wind. There was air, the scent of pine and wet earth, bruise-coloured sky, restless clouds low-hung. Muddy roads wandered between clusters of thatched cottages, worn roofs and soot-black walls from last's raids. The Black Path Bandits inspired terror—plundered barns, stolen cattle, shallow trenches. The villages lived in terror, for a fog, terror descended on the villages, the skeletal visage of the villagers, their eyes reaching out to the horizon, awaiting the next raid. The bandits were a plague, merciless and ruthless, their name spoken in terror. Norman, this time a ghost of tempest, had been sent to stem them.He strides across the wasteland, his tattered cloak lost in twilight, his boots silent on the mossy ground. His huge body is lean from journeying, his black hair streaked with gray, his blue eyes burning with purpose. Scars cover his hands, a topography of combat, and a sho

Norman woke up with a throbbing headache, groaning as he sat up. As his vision cleared, he noticed Queen Kurai sitting in front of him, her expression calm and collected. Norman rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the pain he was feeling. However, her next words seem to make him open his eyes. "Good job, Norman," Queen Kurai said, her voice gentle. "You passed the first mission. The blue eliza venom is exactly what I needed."Norman looked up at her, still trying to shake off the effects of the venom. "What...what happened?" he asked, his voice hoarse. He seemed to still be very weak, and his memory was faint. Queen Kurai smiled. "You were bitten, but don't worry, I've taken care of the wound. You'll recover fully.” her assurance made him sigh, and he turned to see that his hands were bandaged. As well. Norman's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Queen Kurai. "How did I survive?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion.The Queen's expression remained calm. He was asking too
Chapter 95
Queen Kurai's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as she regarded Norman. "I'll help you, but you must complete seven deadly missions," she said, her voice firm.Norman's jaw dropped in shock. "Seven deadly missions?" he repeated, incredulous. "Why would you give me such a condition?"The Queen's smile grew wider. "Because I want to. It's just what I want."Norman hesitated, weighing his options. After a moment, he nodded. "Alright, I agree. What is the first mission?"Queen Kurai's smile turned into that of mischief. "Are you sure you really want to do this?" she asked, her voice laced with amusement.Norman swallowed, and tried to control himself. "I am willing to do it," he said, his voice firm.The Queen's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Very well, then. Let us begin…”It seemed she had other plans for him. Things he didn't even know. He had no idea what he was going into, but he wanted to make sure everything made sense to him at this time. Queen Kurai's smile turned serious
Chapter 94
Queen Kurai's brow furrowed with concern as she watched Norman's bold request sink in. She turned to her daughter, Murai, who had entered the room quietly. “Do you think you can go with this man?” She was asked but when she was unable to respond, she was immediately made to keep shut. There were so many things involved in his moments. “I don't want to, mother. I have people to serve here. I won't go with him. He doesn't seem genuine…” she explained, and her mother sighed. "Murai, we need to discuss this matter privately," the Queen said, her voice low and measured.Murai's eyes met Norman's for a brief moment before she nodded and followed her mother out of the throne room. The doors closed behind them, leaving Norman alone with the guards.The Queen and Murai walked to a nearby chamber, the tension between them palpable. Once inside, Queen Kurai turned to Murai and explained the situation. “The man seems to be here for a reason which I do not know of at the moment, but I need you
Chapter 93
Norman stood before Queen Kurai, his presence calm and respectful. She has even watched him and for some reason she seemed to want to know what he had been going through in his mind.“Please have a seat. You can't keep standing. I have been told you wanted to see me, and seeing you now gives me great pleasure Norman…” she said, making him smirk. However, when he didn't say anything, she gestured for him to see her. Queen Kurai, with an air of elegant happiness, welcomed him warmly. "Please, take a seat," she said, her voice gentle, as she gestured to a plush chair opposite her throne.Norman stared at the throne. He had a lot on his mind, but this seemed to be the best for him so far. He had been worried that things weren't the way he wanted them, but she had been trying to make things make sense for a while now, and it seemed as though it was working. His mission here was simple. After a while he did as she said. As Norman sat down, Queen Kurai initiated the conversation, inquiri
