Chapter 1046
Jaden paused for only a second before a knowing smile crossed his face. He turned quickly, shut the door, and locked it.He came back to her mouth like he’d never left — kissing her slower this time, deeper, his hands sliding the dress off her shoulders inch by inch. His palms traced her body on the way down, unhurried, like he was memorising her. Then he stopped.“You sure about this?” His voice was low. “I’ve waited this long. I can wait longer. I need to know you want this.”Selena wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him directly. “Jaden. I’ve been ready for so long it’s embarrassing.”That was the last conversation they had for a while.He guided her back onto the bed, removed her dress completely and started from the top — mouth on her neck, her collarbone, down to her chest, taking his time there until she was squirming. He was savouring her. Every inch. Like he had a point to make about how long he’d waited.His hands slid to her underwear and pulled it down slowly.

Jaden pushed the door open slowly and stepped into the room.Selena stood by the window, her back facing him, her figure outlined softly by the dim evening light filtering through the curtains. The silence in the room felt heavy, filled with everything she hadn’t said.For a moment, Jaden didn’t speak.He simply looked at her.Then, slowly, he walked forward.Each step was careful, almost hesitant, as if he were approaching something fragile. When he reached her, he paused briefly before gently wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.“Selena…” he called softly, his voice low and filled with warmth.The moment his arms touched her—She pushed them away.Not violently.But firmly.Jaden’s hands froze in the air.Selena didn’t turn around immediately, but her shoulders trembled slightly. When she finally spoke, her voice was tight with emotion.“How long?” she asked.Jaden’s brows knit together slightly. “Selena—”“How long have you been hiding this from me?” she cut in, her voic

Jaden let out a slow sigh, his mind racing as he tried to decide what to do next. The situation had spiraled far beyond what he had ever intended, and now the truth about his identity had been forced into the open in front of the people he cared about most. After a brief moment of silence, he finally made up his mind. Perhaps it was time to accept reality and face the consequences of the truth.He turned his gaze toward Bishop and the elders of the Roman family, who were still kneeling on the floor with their heads lowered in fear. His expression remained calm, but the authority in his eyes was unmistakable.“You may leave,” Jaden said in a steady voice. “You are forgiven.”The words stunned them.For a brief second, none of them dared to move, as if they were afraid they had misheard him. Then relief flooded their faces almost instantly.However, before they could celebrate, Jaden’s expression turned cold again, and his voice dropped several degrees.“But remember this,” he continued

The moment that name was mentioned, Jaden’s instincts sharpened instantly, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared. He rose from his seat in one smooth motion, his eyes turning serious. Selena noticed the sudden change in his demeanor and felt her heart tighten. She quickly stood up as well, followed by the rest of the family members in the living room. A heavy silence settled over the hall, and Selena’s fingers unconsciously clenched together as fear crept into her chest. Just a few days ago, a member of the Roman family had stormed into her office and threatened her openly, and the memory was still fresh in her mind. Now they had come again, and she could not help wondering whether they were here to cause trouble or take revenge.Jaden remained calm, but his gaze had turned cold. He looked toward the servant standing near the door and said in a steady voice, “Let them in.”“Yes, sir,” the servant replied respectfully before turning to open the door.A few seconds later, t

The words hung heavily in the air.For several seconds, no one in the Roman residence moved or even blinked. It was as if time itself had frozen.Then one voice finally broke the silence.“What?”Another followed immediately. “What did you just say?”The room erupted into confusion. Faces that had moments ago been filled with arrogance and fury were now etched with disbelief, shock, and growing fear. Even Bishop Roman’s expression stiffened as he stared at Cubana Priest as though the man had just spoken madness.“The General of the North?” one elder muttered under his breath.“The King of War?” another whispered.No one could connect the name Jaden Rift with that title. It sounded impossible, ridiculous, completely unacceptable.Bishop slowly rose from his chair, his movements stiff and deliberate, his eyes locked firmly onto Cubana.“What did you say?” he asked again, his voice low and dangerous.Cubana swallowed, but despite the suffocating pressure filling the room, he nodded firml

Meanwhile, in Shadowmoor, the atmosphere inside the Roman residence was the complete opposite.If Ironvale was calm and thriving under Jaden’s quiet control, this place was boiling.Rage hung thick in the air.In the grand, intricately decorated living room, Bishop Roman sat at the center, his expression dark and suffocating. The chandeliers above cast a cold glow, but it did nothing to soften the tension.If anything, it made the scene feel colder.More oppressive.His face looked grim, almost lifeless, like something carved out of stone. The faint twitch at the corner of his eye was the only sign of the fury he was barely containing.Around him stood dozens of people.Core members of the Roman family.Trusted aides.Elite followers.All of them kept their heads lowered.No one even dared to breathe too loudly.Because everyone in that room knew one thing.Bishop Roman was on the verge of exploding.—Everything had gone wrong.Leon Nagger, their most reliable “white glove,” had fall
