Damien clenched his jaw. Derek had not raised his voice or moved aggressively, yet every word irritated Damien. Damien had spent years commanding soldiers. People lowered their heads when he entered a room and watched what they said around him, but this man stood before him without a trace of fear. That annoyed him more than anything."There is one reason I brought you here," finally said Damien.Derek waited."Stay away from Sylvia," instructed Damien.Derek stared at him for a moment before laughing.Damien frowned and asked, "What's funny?""You," answered Derek."Me?" questioned Damien."Yes," nodded Derek, shaking his head. "You dragged me out of my way just to tell me to stay away from a woman I don't even want?"Damien's face hardened as he warned, "Watch your words.""I've never wanted Sylvia," stated Derek."You expect me to believe that?" asked Damien."I don't care what you believe," dismissed Derek.Damien stepped closer and insisted, "Sylvia is the War Goddess.""I know,"
Chapter 59
Derek woke up before dawn.The entire house was still quiet. His mother and Emily were asleep, and he did not want to wake either of them.He sat at the edge of his bed for a while, thinking about Emily. Her legs had been useless for years. He had seen what she suffered, but he still had not found a way to heal her.The problem was not simply finding a treatment. It was finding the right herbs. Some of the herbs he needed were extremely rare, while others could only be found in places ordinary people could not reach.Derek knew healing Emily would not be easy. Emily hated him. Even if he found the right herbs, he could not force her to accept his help. He needed to figure out how to approach her without making her feel like he was trying to control her life.That could wait. The first thing he needed to do was find the herbs.Derek got dressed and quietly left the house. He walked to the road and raised his hand until a taxi stopped beside him.Derek opened the door and got inside."

The man scrambled to his feet and ran, with the other men following as quickly as they could.Derek watched them disappear through the door before looking around the living room. Nothing had been broken, and his family was still asleep.Derek walked over and checked the hallway. Everything was quiet.He returned to the living room and sat down. His face was calm, but his eyes were cold.Damien Cross had just crossed a line.The surviving men rushed back to Damien's residence.Damien was still in his office when the door burst open."General!" called out one of the men.Damien looked up and asked, "What happened?"The men stood before him, bruised and exhausted."Where are the others?" asked Damien, his eyes widening.Nobody answered immediately."I'm asking you a question," barked Damien.One of the men swallowed hard and answered, "They couldn't come.""What do you mean?" questioned Damien."He defeated them," replied the man.Damien stood up and asked, "All of them?""Yes, General,"

Damien Cross sat in his office, staring at the photograph of Derek on his desk.His jaw tightened.Sylvia had made her decision clear. She wanted Derek dead, and she had promised to marry Damien once he got rid of him.For Damien, this was more than just a woman. Marrying Sylvia Gomo would change everything. She was the War Goddess, one of the most respected women among the powerful families and military circles. If she became his wife, his influence would rise even higher.He was already a general. With Sylvia beside him, there was no telling how far he could go."I will do whatever it takes," muttered Damien.He picked up his phone."Send the men," ordered Damien.A man standing nearby looked at him and asked, "How many, General?""Enough to bring Derek to me," demanded Damien.The man nodded and replied, "Yes, General."Damien leaned back."Don't underestimate him, but don't make this more complicated than it needs to be," instructed Damien. "From everything we've gathered, he's ju
Chapter 56
Sylvia stood in front of her grandfather, Petra Gomo, trying hard to control her anger.She respected Petra more than anyone in the family. He was the head of the Gomo family, and his word carried weight.But when it came to Derek, she was reaching her limit."Grandfather, please," pleaded Sylvia. "I have already told you. I cannot marry Derek."Petra's face remained serious."You will marry him," stated her grandfather.Sylvia lowered her head for a moment."Grandfather, with all due respect, I cannot," insisted Sylvia."Why?" asked Petra.Sylvia looked up and declared, "Because I hate him."Petra frowned."I don't care how you feel about him," answered her grandfather."But I do!" snapped Sylvia.Her voice rose before she quickly lowered it again."I'm sorry, Grandfather," apologized Sylvia.Petra stared at her.Sylvia took a deep breath."I have spent my entire life building my name. I became the War Goddess. I earned my position. I have fought battles and gained the respect of pow

Cecilia was furious. Ever since the last pageant, she had barely been able to sleep. Every time she opened her phone, she saw pictures of Megan: her beautiful face, her return, and her standing confidently in front of everyone.The same woman Cecilia had once mocked was now receiving all the attention.Cecilia threw her phone onto the bed."This is not over," she muttered angrily.She could not accept what had happened. She had been humiliated in front of everyone, her reputation had taken a serious hit, and the people who once praised her were now talking about Megan.Cecilia quickly got dressed and went to see her father.Venny was sitting in his study when she walked in."Dad, I need your help," demanded Cecilia.Venny looked up from his desk and asked, "What happened?""Megan," replied Cecilia.His expression changed as he inquired, "What about her?""She has to be stopped," asserted Cecilia.Venny leaned back in his chair and said, "Don't worry. I'll deal with her."Cecilia shook
