Betrayal, Ambition And Failure

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-02-14 01:28:05

The room was dimly lit, the air heavy with the scent of aged leather and cigars. A large wooden table sat at the center, around which a group of men and women, shrouded in secrecy, sat in deep discussion.

The Black Bastion, the rogue faction’s hidden stronghold, had always been a place where shadows whispered louder than voices. Tonight, those whispers would weave a tale of betrayal, ambition, and failure.

At the head of the table sat Nyx, his face partially obscured by the low lighting. The fourth in command of the Guild of Shadows, the man known only as Dark Shadow to those within his inner circle.

Maribel sat on the far end, hands clenched into fists. The once-beautiful woman now bore faint traces of scarring on her jawline, a reminder of the nightmare she was living through. The plan was failing. And Nyx was not pleased.

“Tell me, Maribel, what exactly have you accomplished in over a year?” His voice was deceptively calm, yet the underlying menace sent chills down her spine.

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   Awakening The Ice Queen

    Elona had seen the excitement in her triplets’ eyes when they suggested visiting the Guild of Shadows' headquarters. Their small hands tugged at hers, their hopeful voices filled with an innocent certainty that their mother, their Ice Queen, would awaken once she stepped back into her old world.She didn't have the heart to refuse them. And, if she was honest with herself, a thrill of curiosity ran through her as well. A second-in-command of an assassin’s guild? It sounded like something straight out of a spy movie. Could that really have been her?Now, seated in the luxurious private jet en route to the island near Country F, Elona gazed out the window, her mind a storm of emotions.Beside her, Master Fu sat with his arms crossed, his expression unreadable, but she knew his mind was working tirelessly. He was determined to uncover the true cause of her memory loss. If there was anyone who could restore what she had lost, it was him.Across from them, Kian held one of their infant twi

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   The Conspiracy Unfolds

    The private jet touched down on the island near Country F, home to the Guild of Shadows' headquarters. Elona stepped onto the tarmac with an eerie calmness. The scent of salt and steel filled the air, and the sharp cry of a distant falcon echoed across the cliffs. The moment her feet touched the ground, an unexplainable sense of belonging coursed through her. She had never been here before, not that she remembered but something in her blood knew this place. It was as if the island itself was whispering to her.Behind her, the triplets clutched each other's hands, their eyes wide with excitement. The nanny held the twins securely, and Master Fu stood beside her, his sharp gaze sweeping the surroundings.Kian, however, had been tense ever since the fight on the plane. Elona could feel his fear. Fear of losing her. Because deep down, he knew that the closer she got to her old self, the further she might slip away from him. She didn’t have time to console him now. She had come here to fi

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   The Ice Queen Strikes

    The moon's silver glow shone over the Guild of Shadows' island stronghold, illuminating the vast network of stone corridors, training halls, and hidden passageways. But while the island was a fortress, it was also a battlefield and the war had already begun.Elona stood in the center of the war room, surrounded by Master Fu, Victor, and Damien. The flickering candlelight revealed the storm brewing in her icy blue eyes. She had remembered. Not everything, but enough.Enough to know that Nyx, the fourth-in-command, had betrayed her. Enough to know that she had been attacked. And enough to realize that the traitors were still lurking within these very walls.Master Fu didn’t waste time. Within an hour, the most trusted guild members had assembled in the war room. Victor, the third-in-command, stood tall and calm, his sharp eyes scanning the room.Damien, young but fiercely loyal to Elona, clenched his fists. He had always suspected that a traitor lurked within their ranks, but now, they

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   Master Fu's Plan

    Since the immediate threat had been eliminated, Master Fu had Kian and the kids brought back to the guild headquarters. The place had been cleaned up and the smell of blood and gunpowder was no longer lingering. Making sure that no one would notice that there had been a bloody fight just twenty-four hours prior.After settling Kian and the kids, Elona stormed off to find Master Fu. She might not have recovered all her memories but they were slowly returning, fragmented. Yet, that was enough for the Ice Queen to know her responsibilities and perform her duties to the guild.With a determined stride, Elona arrived at master Fu's chambers and knocked three times with a certain rhythm. The old man smiled, knowing that his goddaughter was slowly returning. With a beaming smile, he yanked the door open. "Aha! Fu Lona, come on in, my child."Elona stepped in, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. This man, the seemingly unremarkable old man, was not only his mentor and godfather, but her an

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   A Banquet Of Revelations

    The following evening, the banquet hall of the Guild of Shadows was alive with activity. The grand space had been transformed into an elegant but fortified venue. Guards were positioned at key points, watching for any sign of trouble. Elite members of the guild mingled with the esteemed guests, their presence a reminder that tonight was not just a celebration, it was a test. And Elona was at the center of it all. At the head table sat Master Fu, his keen eyes observing the room, knowing that tonight was not just about celebration, it was about revelation. Elona sat beside him, her face calm and composed, but a storm brewed within. The triplets were at a smaller table nearby, excitedly whispering to one another, while Kian sat to her other side, his expression unreadable.Then, Alaric walked in. Dressed in a sharp black suit, exuding dominance, his icy blue eyes swept the hall before landing on Elona. For a brief moment, time seemed to stand still between them. But before he could tak

    Kian stood at the wide-open balcony of his guest bedroom at the Guild headquarters, his fingers curled tightly around the ornate railing. The cool night air did little to ease the storm raging inside him. He had spent his life running, from the truth, from himself, from the consequences of his choices. But tonight, he could no longer hide.Behind him, the grand doors creaked open, and light footsteps approached. Elona. He knew her presence before he even turned. “You wanted to see me?” she asked, her voice calm but distant.Kian inhaled deeply, steeling himself before facing her. She looked as poised as ever, her striking features illuminated by the moonlight, but there was something else, something he had put there. A wound, not of steel or poison, but of betrayal.“Elona…” he hesitated, his throat tightening. “There’s something I need to say. Something I should have said a long time ago.” She crossed her arms, waiting. “I’m listening.”His fingers clenched at his sides before he for

    After the banquet’s revelations had settled, Alaric, Elona, and Master Fu gathered in the Guild’s war room, a dimly lit chamber filled with ancient scrolls, maps, and strategic plans. The room was filled with the scent of aged parchment and burning incense, a signature of Master Fu’s personal quarters.Seated at the head of the table, Master Fu steepled his fingers, his piercing eyes scanning the duo before him. “We need to discuss Gwen Mason.”Elona exhaled sharply, her expression darkening at the mention of the former queen consort of Country S. “She got away too easily,” she muttered.Alaric leaned back in his chair, his face unreadable but his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. “Even after the ICC took over, the Mason family pulled their strings, and now she walks free on ‘bail.’ It’s a mockery of justice.”Master Fu nodded gravely. “The ICC was never going to hold her accountable. The Mason family has deep connections, and the former king… well, let’s just say he w

    The battle was won. The threats to Elona were gone. But for Alaric Royale, the war was far from over. As the chaos of the past weeks settled, silence became his enemy. It was in that silence that the heavy burden of his failures pressed down on him. He had conquered enemies, crushed empires, and outmaneuvered some of the most ruthless minds in the world. Yet, when it came to the one thing that truly mattered, his family, he had failed spectacularly. Alaric sat alone in his office, a crystal glass of whiskey untouched on his desk. The city skyline stretched before him, bright and alive, yet he felt nothing but emptiness. His fingers hovered over his phone. He had Elona’s number memorized, yet every time he thought of calling her, he hesitated. What could he say? I’m sorry? I regret everything? Please come back to me? None of it felt enough. He hadn’t just missed a few anniversaries or forgotten a birthday.

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   Epilogue: A Legacy Of Love And Genius

    Five Years Later… The Royale Estate had never been more alive. Lush gardens stretched as far as the eye could see, the scent of blooming roses mingling with the crisp afternoon air. The laughter of children echoed across the grounds, filling the estate with warmth and joy. Elona stood on the grand balcony, watching the scene below unfold with a soft smile on her lips. She leaned against Alaric, his strong arm wrapped protectively around her waist. "Look at them," she murmured, pride evident in her voice. Down in the courtyard, the Terrific Trio, Arlyle, Artie, and Allie, were engrossed in an intense discussion, their expressions far too serious for eleven-year-olds. But then again, they weren’t just any eleven-year-olds. They were national geniuses, their intelligence unmatched by any child their age. Their names graced international forums, scientific journals, an

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   Vows That Shook The Nation

    The grand ballroom of the Royale Estate was transformed into a breathtaking vision of elegance. Cascading chandeliers bathed the space in golden light, while delicate floral arrangements lined the aisle, each petal whispering a tale of love, redemption, and new beginnings. Alaric Royale stood at the altar, dressed in a custom-tailored black tuxedo, his stance confident yet solemn. His heart pounded with anticipation as he awaited the arrival of the woman who had become his world, the woman he had almost lost but fought to reclaim. The billboards across Country M broadcasted the event live, capturing every moment in stunning detail. The entire nation bore witness to the redemption of a man who had once taken love for granted but now vowed to cherish it with his entire being. When Elona finally appeared at the entrance, time seemed to stand still.Dressed in an exquisite white gown

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   A Love Rekindled

    Alaric Royale had always been a man who thrived under pressure. Business deals, billion-dollar investments, and ruthless negotiations had been his expertise for years. But now, he was navigating an entirely different battlefield, one that involved diaper changes, bedtime stories, and earning the love of the family he had once taken for granted. And he was determined not to fail. For him, this was the dawn of a new routine, and one he fully embraced with sincerity. The sun had barely risen when Elona stirred awake, expecting to hear the usual fussing of the twins. But instead, the room was quiet. Too quiet. She sat up, her heart thudding. Had she overslept? Where were the babies?Slipping on her robe, she made her way downstairs, only to pause at the sight before her. Alaric was in the living room, still in his sleepwear, holding one of the twins in his arms while feeding the othe

  • Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret   Path To Redemption

    Elona studied him, searching for any trace of deception, but all she saw was sincerity, painful, soul-deep sincerity. “I don’t know if I can ever fully forgive you,” she admitted quietly. “But… I want to try.” Alaric’s head snapped up, eyes widening slightly. “You do?” Elona sighed. “The truth is, despite everything, a part of me never stopped wanting you. And maybe that’s my own weakness. But I can’t ignore that you’re their father, that we’re still married, and that...” she hesitated, “...that I once loved you.” The admission hung in the air between them, fragile and uncertain. Alaric leaned forward slightly, his voice a gentle plea. “Then let me earn it. Let me show you that I can be the man you deserve. I don’t expect you to trust me overnight, but I’ll spend every day proving it to you.” Elona exhaled. “We’ll take it one step at a time.” A spark of hope ignited in Alaric’s g

    “I missed both of your pregnancies. I wasn’t there when you needed me most. I let others dictate my life, let my pride get in the way.” His jaw clenched. “And because of that, I lost the woman who should have been my priority from the beginning.” Elona crossed her arms, her eyes filled with lingering pain. “You don’t just get to regret things now and expect everything to be okay. You should know that by now." “I know,” he admitted. “And I don’t expect forgiveness overnight. But I need you to know, Elona, that I regret it every single day. Every time I look at our children, I think about what I missed. I think about how you went through it all alone because I was too blind to see what truly mattered.” Elona bit her lip, fighting against the emotions rising inside her. It was rare to see Alaric this open, this vulnerable. But bitterness still lingered in her heart. “You always put business first, believed
