After Rejection, she crawled to my feet for forgiveness Chapter 54
Henry was excited with the news. It seemed like things were going in their favour. Lucas was no longer the mayor, this meant there was a new government, but he didn't seem to know what was next. He didn't know what was coming for him.His facial expression showed how serious he was, and how he was ready to make a contract with Drake, but little did he know that there was something bigger for him.Frustration forced on his face when he didn't get to drake via call. It wasn't that he wasn't dialling. The issue was that the call wasn't being picked up which was a huge problem. He was trying to handle it like the adult he was, but it didn't seem it was going well. “Maybe he's busy…” Henry concluded, but at that moment, there was something else. He noticed there was no way Drake was so busy that he wouldn't take his call.“Was it the position? Maybe I should go see him in his office…” he expressed, and immediately grabbed his keys. He was prepared to make things make sense. When he got t

Drake is doing everything right to please the bishop because he knew his position was at risk. Besides, everything was going well for him. The power, the respect, and the fame. It was all he ever wanted, and now he was getting everything he ever wanted.Drake's cell rang, and upon staring at the screen, he saw it was Jackson. His face instantly filled with creased lines, but instead of being mad, there was concern on his face. He has been doing everything right.He hummed and then immediately proceeded to take the call. “Hello?” His voice showed how skeptical he was, and how he was trying to know what the issue was.“We need to see immediately there's something we need to discuss. Is that alright?” Not having any choice, Drake hummed in agreement, but before he could ask what the matter was, he noticed that the call had already ended. Since he knew where they were already getting at, all he needed to do was to make sure he got to the meeting place on time. “Jackson? What's this all

“She must be stopped! I thought you said you were going to handle it!” He screamed, and there was a lot going on. He needed time to understand what was actually going on.“Yes. We did, but she's a renowned detective and most times her guys are afraid to arrest her. She's just too–” the bishop shot him a glare which made him feel weak. He swallowed, and tried to control himself, but it seemed like things were going out of control.He didn't even know how else to handle it. He bit his lips, and immediately lowered his head.“I’m sorry. I didn't mean for all this to happen this time, but it's really going to be hard to do something like this. You need to understand that things are really hard at this point.”“Hard? Do you mean hard?” he asked with raised brows, and there was no response. The bishop was making his life a living hell. At this point, he didn't wish he should sign up for something like this. He was extremely worried that he was going to face this kind of judgement from him.

“Please.. please…” There were distant chatters when the man was brought before the bishop who had his head lowered the whole while, but was still somehow able to see the man who was begging for his life.“Please, don't kill me. I'll tell you all you need to know. I promise…” there were so many things involved at this moment, but whatever the man said finally got the bishop interested.“Hmm, anything right? I heard you worked closely with Norman. Didn't you?” The man who was on his knees, shaking and sweating like there was no tomorrow was unable to answer. He had so many reasons not to. First, he was scared, and secondly, he knew answering didn't guarantee his freedom.“Are you going to speak, or you're like those strong heads who prefer to be tormented because that's my favourite game.”“T-tormented?” He stammered, breathing hard. Confusion reigned in his heart, and he felt as though a lot of things were wrong.“No, no I don't like to be tormented. Please just let me go. I am the

“Are you sure you can do this? You seem a little bit down. What's the matter? I'm sure There's a lot going on with you. You look so sick, and I'm getting worried about you. I mean, I can tell you aren't fine…”“Well, there's nothing wrong. I'm just stressed, but there's no need to worry, I'll make sure I make the speech. Norman must be set free okay?” “When does you being ever affect you this much? You're pale, and your eyes are baggy. In scared for you, and I don't even know how to say it. Please understand what I mean. Can you do that for me?” She asked with raised brows, and Bethany smiled.“Yeah… I do, but we're getting late. Just get the car ready. You'll be driving me. How about that?” She asked, and her female counterpart smiled. “Of course, but after this we're going to take you to a hospital. Do you understand?” Bethany wanted to be stubborn, but she knew that she wasn't going to go anywhere with the attitude. She had to just play along because if she didn't, she was never

Bethany had arrived at the rally, and she has asked for a bottle of water from her colleague before she stood up from the place, and arrived at where the masses stood.Cheers were heard, and it seemed they didn't really know what was going on. She was just silent, and tried her best to understand what was going on as well.She felt dizzy, but stood strong, waving her hands, and wearing a smile.As soon as she reached the podium, she adjusted the mic, but as she opened her mouth to speak, she noticed everything around her spinned faster.“I, I, I am…” she was breathing heavily, trying to contain herself. The faces of the people changed from smiles to something else. Everyone was more than shocked. Confusion, and worry rested on each furrowed brows, and creased lines that was crafted on their forehead due to the expression that they had. “Chief, are you alright?” Her colleague asked, moving closer to her, but she held out her hands to stop her colleagues from approaching.“But you're c

“Maybe he's not lying…” she expressed, and immediately tried to make sense of everything that had been happening.Andrew on the other hand wasn't ready to listen. There was already a lot on the ground. She was trying her best to ensure that things went well. “One of the lessons you learn as a detective is never to trust anyone. I know you have been seeing a lot lately, but I need you to understand that things would be good enough.”Silence reigned. But she was still convinced that he was taking these things too far. He was trying to calm them down, but unfortunately, it seemed they were unable to be calmed. She was worried about the way things were. Her heart drummed, but she tried to make him understand.“Listen… maybe we should–” she was still trying to convince Andrew when all of a sudden the door to the emergency ward was opened and the doctor immediately came into the house.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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
