Keith stood by the doorway, looking at his wife in anger. She was on their matrimonial bed kissing another man. It was like something snapped in him.

“You fucking bastard! Get off her!” 

Keith rushed for the man, pulled him off Eleanor, and went on to give the beating of a lifetime, Keith was not even going to check to see who the man was. 

“Keith? Let him go! I said let him go!” Eleanor was pulling his hand trying to get to release the man before he hurt him again. 

“Why in the world would I do that? Why is he here? Doesn't he know you are married? I am your husband!”

Keith was still holding the man by his collar. He was not going to let go anytime soon. 

“What good is a husband if all he does is occupy space? You are not even working so how in the world would have taken care of me if I was poor and miserable like you?” 

This was the first time Eleanor had used such words on Keith. He slowly let go of the man from his grip.


“What are you trying to say El? You know my situation and that I just recovered from the accident so why are you saying all this?” 

“Even before the accident, you were struggling to make sure you had clothes for yourself. I was the one who would always give you spare change to make sure you looked decent.” Eleanor said. She sounded like her mother, and she wasn’t going to hold back her words in front of Keith. 

“El, I love you and I always have. I gave you everything. And you now are with this piece of filth here?” 

Keith was looking at the man who was trying to put his suit back together, the man wore an expensive suit and the jewelry on his neck was pure gold. It showed that the man standing before him was no ordinary fellow. 

“Who are you calling filth? I am ten times the man you would even think of being, you dare lay your cursed hands on me!” The man looked at Keith to hit him. 

Keith gave him a death stare, it was so intimidating that it made the man not move an inch. “So what are you saying, El? The three years was a joke?” 

Eleanor remained silent, then she said, “I only married you to make sure I fulfilled my father’s wish, I would have never married a poor miserable man like you.” 

Keith got the answer, but for a minute it felt like he was going to lose it. He looked at Eleanor as she helped the other man up trying to make sure that he was okay. 

“Are you okay, Jared? I am sorry you had to get hit like that. ” Eleanor was helping clean the man up, she didn't even look at Keith. 

Keith looked down and picked up the divorce papers he had dropped the moment, “So I will take it that this is your signature? And you want the divorce.” 

“More than anything I want to be free from you and your filthy self. I don't need anyone to taint my family name.” Eleanor looked at Keith with disgust in her eyes. 

Jared pulled Eleanor closer to him, hold her waist firmly. “Tell him, baby, tell him what you need - You need someone like me to make sure that you don't live in pain and misery.” 

“Jared, you soft talker, I know you will make sure that I am not in pain.” Eleanor smiled as she laid her head on his shoulder. 

“Very well then. I hope you won't regret this later.” Keith brought out a pen, signed the papers, and handed it to Eleanor. 

“I hope you find peace in life,” Keith turned to leave the room, and someone held his shoulder. Keith turned to see Jared. 

“You know, there is no need for you to feel bad. She only relieves you of your worries, and you won't have to think of what you are going to do to make your wife happy. I will be sure to take care of her,” 

Jared had a smile on his face, he was trying to rile up Keith, “I would like it if you got your hands off my shoulder, or it would be more than your suit this time.” 

Keith sounded like an emotionless beast, he was still holding back his anger and didn't want to hurt anyone before he left the house. 

“You won’t do that, you’re lucky Jared is letting you go after what you did to him the first time.”


Sandra walked into the room with the gift Keith had given to her.

“Here, I don’t have any use for your useless gift. I know you think you were worth something, but you see, there’s no way in the world you would ever be worth anything to us.” 


Keith took the gift from Sandra. He gave off a faint smile as he looked at it and then walked out of the room silently.

Keith didn't utter a word. He just kept walking out of the room, not even looking back. 

Keith looked at the package in his hands and sighed. He took out his phone and called a number.


“Lord Keith, we have prepared the gifts and will be there soon with everything. A diamond necklace, another golden express card, and a cheque for twenty million dollars.”


“Hold the gifts, and send a car to come pick me up.”


Keith stepped out of the house, not about to spend another minute there. 


"Is there something I can help you with, Lord Keith?" Marx asked, sounding concerned. He'd prepared everything to meet the Kendricks.


"Nothing much, Marx. Just that I'm getting divorced in two days."

    Keith and Marx had made their way from MetroVille to the borders of the Dragon Valley. A thought kept going through their heads, and they were bound to get something done. Keith knew what was going on and what he would need to do, but he could not get the thought out of his head. He was bound to see everything and how it was going to pan out with their head down in a crack. Marx knew it wasn’t going to be easy for anyone to get their head through what was going to happen. “Are you going to be able to do this?” He asked, looking at Keith and the way he was moving in the car but there wasn’t going to be a chance for anything to come easy. Keith turned back, his eyes slowly closing trying to look into what Marx was trying to say. “What are you saying?” Keith asked, looking at his partner, but there wasn’t a chance for him to see what was going on in his head. “So if you face him, then there is a chance that you will have to…” “I know what I must do to make sure that nothing is g

    “Even if you don’t believe it, he is the Lord of the Dragon Valley, he’s the only one meant to sit on that throne…” The grand elder was looking at Kylian’s men, trying to make sure that there was no way for him to get even close to the throne. “You’re wasting your time, old timer,” one of the men smiled, moving closer to the grandmaster with a smile on his face. “I know you think there is going to be a chance for him to get what he wants, but he isn’t ever going to take that Throne again!” There was a roar; Kylian's men were jeering, knowing that there was no way for them to get something down. “You’re trying to tell me that Keith will come back here and try to take this throne?” He turned to look at the Grandmaster with a smirk on his face, moving closer, he could look him in the eye. “You’re still on a different plane, and I would want you to understand something important, even if it was a joke; there is no way for him to even think of taking this place down.” The man turned

    Noelle was trying to keep her mind off everything. It was not going to be easy for her to even imagine Keith being away for that long, and she knew what was going to happen next. ‘They won't waste time coming for me, and there is no way I would be able to fight them back alone.’ She wasn't trying to keep the fact that Helena was going to try something, and he knew it wasn't going to be easy for her without Keith around, but she knew things weren't going to be all hard. “I will just have to look for a way to get through all of this and not let them get into my head.” She said, standing up to move to the door of her office, but when she got there, she felt something off. It was almost like there was someone there, trying to shake it off. She needed to know what was going on. She opened her office door, but there was no one there, but everything was still odd, and she could feel like there was someone there. Looking down, she saw an envelope; she knew what was going on and that it

    Keith had made his arrangements; they were not going to waste time there in Metroville for another week, knowing that something was happening back at the Valley that needed his attention, but then he was also not going to be able to handle things there without someone being able to help him take care of Noelle. “Marx, are you sure there is no—” “Dont think of dropping me here, I am not going to have it, and I would love to let you know that nothing is going to make me even think of letting you handle whatever is happening down at home alone.” Marx made himself clear, and he wasn't going to be saying it over again for anyone to hear, but then he wasn't going to be wasting time there. “The Dragon Valley needs you to be back home. Kylian isn't going to be giving you an easy time. You shouldn't just think that something is going to come from all this as a normal way for you to even think of surviving.” Keith knew that Marx wasn't lying when he said that, but there was something else

    Keith was trying to get his head together before he would get to tell Noelle what he was going to be doing. He knew that there was no time for him to be hiding things from the woman he was going to be spending his life with, and he knew the damage it would do if he was not careful. He wasn't about to be playing games that would hurt her, and he wasn't about to spend his time trying to make up for something that wasn't meant to be there. He needed to know what he was about to do, walking straight to the room where Noelle had taken in the Phoenix Spring Hotel.He knocked on the door twice, trying to see if he would get her to respond. "Come in," she responded. Keith smiled as he opened the door, and he saw her standing by the window looking down, and the look on her face was a bit different from what he thought he was going to see. "Keith!" She sprang into his arms, and Keith didn’t waste time catching her. "You seem happy to see me, I didnt know you were expecting me like this." H

    “So you’re telling me that returning to the Dragon Valley isn’t part of your plan yet?” Jacqueline was looking at Keith. He didn’t know what was going through his mind, knowing that he was trying to keep something from them, but then it was also not going to be easy for him to explain to them what he had on his mind. “It doesn’t look good, and we all know that Kylain isn’t going to let us rest until he makes sure that there is no way for us to come to the Dragon Valley and if he wants Lord Keith to come back home then you know he has something on his mind and he isn’t just going to let him walk away with it.” Marx knew that nothing was going to push back Kylain from trying to get them to be back where they wouldn’t have a choice but back down. Both of them knew how far it was going to get, and with the way things were heading, it was clear that one mistake would mean that they were going to lose their way. “So you’re saying that he’s one step ahead or that he doesn’t…” “He doesn’
