After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Chapter 41
Drake was in the restaurant with an unknown man and all these were being watched by Harris, and Bethany. Drake shook hands, and was even smiling, before sipping a glass of wine afterwards.“What's going on there, I really wish to know. I can't see him smiling like that with an unknown figure and not question what the hell is going on. Come on, we need to know what's happening. I mean, there's a lot already on our plate. I need you to understand the way things are.”“Yes I understand. I too want to know what the hell is going on. Drake can't be trusted, and the way he's smiling seems to show that there's something going on. Do you understand what I'm saying?”“Yes, yes I do. I really do. I just want you to know that there's a lot of things involved. But I really think we should storm in there, and interrogate them…” Bethany was the one giving this suggestion. Her eyes were focused on the clear glass that revealed the people in the restaurant, and she frowned her face.Harris on the ot

His face turned dark as he walked out of the restaurant towards the garage where his car was packed.Upon getting to his car, he pulled open the door, but paused, raising his head to look upwards because something seemed off.His face was filled with wrinkles, his eyes moving around to check for something suspicious.“Hmmm…” he hummed, squinting his eyes as he wondered what was happening, but then he shrugged his shoulders and walked away. To him, there was nothing wrong with what was going onBy the time he entered the car, he inserted the keyhole, the engine roared, and he was set to make everything set. He was trying his best to ensure that things went well as well.Once at his destined stop, he stepped out of the car and also adjusted his suit.He looked around, and then nodded his head. I

Bethany returned back home, troubled, and worried. Her expression was filled with wrinkles, and she couldn't stop acting around her room. Her right thumb, and index finger were on her wrist, and cheek.“So what's the plan? What exactly do you have in mind?” she asked, and there was silence. No one was actually there to respond to her.Asides from her worry about Hassan Drake meeting with an unknown man, she was still worried about the criminal that had been locked up and didn't want to say anything about his gang. “Now that I see Drake making some strange movements, I feel like there are other things underneath that I need to find out. Something I'm not being told.”She sighed, but tried before to contain herself. Everything about the situation seemed to overwhelm her, but she didn't want it to be so.“I'll ensure I investigate, and bring them down. But how do I do that?” she pondered all through the night, sitting on her bed to jot down some clues. She started by taking notes of eve

Timmy wasn't ready to do my biddings at first, but once I had explained to him about what had happened, he immediately went to his laptop.“So you want me to research about this criminal guy, right?” He asked and Bethany nodded. That was what she needed. She needed him to actually help her dig deeper into it. She stood close to him while he sat on the computer, his eyes squinted as he punched the letters staring at the file I had handed to him for a little while. “Mmmm, he sure has a lot of criminal records. What the hell!” He yelled, and was worried about the way things were. Once he had pressed the search button, he immediately laid back, and placed his hands on his lips.“It seems like there are a lot of things involved. I really don't know what you want to know when you have the necessary information on what was happening. I really needed to do something today, and you're not helping me out by being here.”She frowned. “Shut up and do what you need to do. I need everything for m

Bethany was still really confused. She didn't expect what had happened. Infact, she was in shock. Everything being exposed was way too much for her to comprehend.“So you said it's an old gang, and you managed to disband some of its members, so how did–” Norman paused, his right hand on his chin as he paced around the cell.“Well I'm not sure I did that how. If their logo still exist, and you caught someone from the gang. It was obvious the gang was bigger than I thought.” Bethany’s heart drummed, and she stared at him, more confused. Did he just say bigger? She was already so close to getting a clue, and she found out it was only a drop in the ocean.Furrowed lines wrapped around her face, and she pressed her lips together, her head and eyes lowered as she sank deep with her thoughts.“You really think you didn't stop them enough some years ago? I'm pretty sure there's nothing against them. Besides, there are a lot of things going on right now.” No words were said, and she immedia

Drake's power grew. Everything seemed to be under control, and he seemed to be loving it so much. He had archived all that was needed, and what was left was simple. He was finally going to be able to work things out for himself. “Now that I'm occupying a great office, how about I do something to change my life,” he expressed, and just then there was a knock on the door thsh interrupted him. At first he smiled, and then he frowned again. Everything was supposed to be alright, but it didn't seem like it. His secretary who was now on his side was the one who came into the room. On her face was concern, and in her hands were some files.“Here's the file you asked for Mr drake…” she commented with a smirk and immediately got a nod from him.As soon as she handed him the document, he used his eyes to scan it, and he nodded, waving her off with his hands before he was finally able to do anything else.Once she was gone, he squinted his eyes. The budget was about 10 million but he thought,

All the evidence she needed was in her computer, and she was certain she would be able to get things done.Arriving at her office, she looked around, feeling that something was off, but everything was perfectly in order. Her eyes scanned the place, and it was then she noticed there was something off. Her heart drummed, and she immediately tried to check everything.The next moment she walked over to the computer, she noticed there was something wrong. Her eyes widened, and her face turned pale. “It was right here. Right here!!!” she screamed, and then ran her hands through her hair in frustration. Everything that she had put there was blank. She immediately shook her head, squinting her eyes as she waited for the computer she turned off to reboot. It was complicated. How was that able to happen. Everything felt off. She was trying her best to finally come to pass, and she was tr

Bethany was determined to follow Norman's words, so she returned to the office and gathered as many as she could. She was worried that things were going to fall out of place, but at the same time she knew things would never be in place if she didn't do things like this.“So what's the plan?” He asked. Another close colleague Simon who had been with her throughout the operation asked, and she immediately sighed.“Well this is the thing. We already know what they are up to, and we have to burst them. This is the exact place and time of the operation…” she explained, and at that moment she noticed she started to pay attention to everyone's movements.Made sure to plant recording devices in strategic places just to make sure she was able to catch who was giving her information out to others.After a week of studying, she finally found the culprit.

Afterall, she was telling the reason he was there.Her heart drummed a couple of times, and he was finally able to get a hold of herself. She planned to go see him tonight no matter what happened. Her heart screamed for her to be able to reach out to him.She pushed herself out of bed, ignoring the pain in her body as she moved towards the door. However, as soon as she opened the door, she noticed guards at the end of the hallway.“Shit…” she groaned, slowly closing the door to not alarm the guards. She knew they were going to guard the door, but she didn't expect them to be so serious with it as though it was their life purpose.She sighed, trying her best to understand what was happening. It wasn't so easy for her, and she was not able to think.“I'll have

Murai groaned, her eyes shaking slightly as she tried to turn on the bed, but for some reason she stopped. The pain she felt was so much. She didn't know how long it had been, but what she wanted to know was simple.“Mmm…” she groaned again, and this time slowly opened her eyes. She recalled there were lastly in a cave, and she was fighting alongside Norman to defeat a beat. What then happened? She was still trying her best to figure out when all her sense returned. “Norman?” She called, trying to adjust her eyes to the lightning. Everything seemed blurred at first, but it soon showed, revealing her mother who was seated beside her. She was in pain. However, her main concern now was the expression on her mother's face. Why was her mother looking for someone who had a bad day?Kurai watched her daughter. She had been watching her since they returned, and now that she was awake, she didn't show excitement. “M-mom?” she called softly, trying her best to look around, but she couldn't

“Ugh…” she groaned as soon as she stood up, feeling woozy. Her hands were on her head as she tried to regain her motion. She was quickly held by Norman, and only then did her eyes open fully. Murai was actually about to scream before Norman covered her mouth.“Shhh…. You're safe.” He rubbed her head, and covered her mouth. Only then did she calm down. Once he saw she was calm, he finally decided to make things make sense. “We're in the cave right now. What we need to do is simple. We need to make sure everything is in order. We have to find what we came here for…” he expressed, and she nodded. They were walking, and it seemed like she was already so tired. “I feel so tired. Maybe it's the fear or something…” she expressed, and he nodded. “Probably….” She didn't say anything else. She was worried, and tried her best to ensure that everything fell in place. Her heart drummed, and they walked for a while, until he suddenly stopped her with his hands outstretched. “What's wrong, wha

Knowing fully well that she wasn't going to let him go alone, he decided not to allow things to go the way they were supposed to.“Fine you can come, but we leave now. We don't have time to waste….”She nodded, tagging along with him. She knew it wasn't going to be easy, but she was prepared to move.“So where are we going from here?” She asked, and there was silence.“We are going to tread the path that leads to the Ralos cave.” He answered, moving and she followed him from behind. Her heart drummed and she had a lot of things involved. She knew it wasn't as easy as she thought. It was going to be pulled with a lot of challenges. “Where are we now?” He asked when they had finally worked for a while. His legs were already starting to ache, but he knew they were finally out of the boundary of where he thought they were.His heart drummed, and he tried to stay calm. It seemed she knew the place they were about to go more than him. He passed the map to her, and she decided to take a l

Norman, who had spent the rest of his days in the room, was confused about what they had said. However, he still needed Murai’s help. There was a confused look in his eyes. He didn't even know how else to begin.She definitely had a different thought, and he had to make sure to fix the thought because he didn't have enough time left. He moved around the mansion, trying to find her, and when it proved impossible, he decided to ask a maid. “Umm… good–” before he could greet, the maid bowed her head. “Good evening Princess Murai’s betrothed.” Hearing that caused him to keep quiet. His chest drummed, but he ignored, and he tried to go straight to the point. “Where's she? I tried checking her room, but she's not there,” he expressed, hoping the maid could identify where Murai was.“Oh princess Murai.” She paused. “She said she wanted to be alone, but she's in her private garden at the other end of the mansion.” He nodded, his expression serious. “Alright. Thank you…” he expressed, an

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

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.

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
