“How long till we have to vacate? Did they say?” asked Claire staring at Blake.“We don’t have to go anywhere. After the issue was finished, they gave me back the deed to the villa. Here look for yourself.” Blake said, taking the envelope out of his jacket and handing it to Claire.Claire opened the envelope and took out the deed. Sure enough, it was the deed to the villa; much less, it was all under Claire Dalton’s name. Blake’s name was excluded from the deed, and it was to remain within the Weston family. Blake had no claim to the home anymore. Julie was ecstatic to hear that Blake was no longer part of the home but was shocked by what Claire said while placing the deed back into the envelope.“We’ll get it back changed in the morning. It’s what grandfather wanted.”“No matter, you keep it as is. I know it’s important to you to keep it in the family.” Blake replied.“Yes, yes, It has to be left in the family. Maybe mother could….”“NO!” Claire and Tabitha yelled simultaneously, and
“What does trash like, you know? Let go of my hand this instant, you pervert. First, you marry my daughter and then seduce my youngest, and now you have your eyes on me? Get out of here!” Julie screamed at Blake, releasing her hand from his.Blake was taken aback by Julie’s outburst and only smiled. He thought she was pretty cute when she pouted.“I tried. I’m dammed if I do and dammed if I don’t. So I’ll leave the dishes for later. Are you ready, Tabitha? I’ll drop you off.” Blake asked and started to head to the door, with Tabitha following.“Oh, I almost forgot!” Blake yelled and returned to Julie’s side and planted a kiss on Julie’s cheek.“Bye, Mom,” Blake said, leaving the astonished woman wide-eyed over what had happened. This was the first time Blake had ever kissed her.“AUGHH! I’VE BEEN VIOLATED BY TRASH! I NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER BATH! AUGH!” Julie screamed that could be heard outside as Blake and Tabitha got into the rental and drove out.“Calm down, mother. It was only a pec
“That’s fine. They have done excellent work in reworking the zen garden. I will let the Collin family know of my satisfaction.” Blake said as he walked back into the lobby where the Prince of Swanville, Denis Syrum, was waiting by the elevator to go up.“Ah, boss, you’re here. I was on my way up. This is the finest imperial jade on the market.” He said as he handed the case to Blake.When Blake opened the case, numerous pieces of imperial jade were inside. They all had a vibrant green color and a translucent smooth feel. The main thing was that the Qi it gave off was powerful, making it look like they were glowing.“What beautiful stones.” Betty could help herself from exclaiming when she saw the jade.“This case alone houses the best jade in the state and is valued at six point five million,” Denis said proudly.“Thank you for bringing it to me at such short notice, and thank your father for me,” Blake said as he closed the case. It brings Betty’s eyes back to reality when the case i
Blake awoke to pots and dishes being moved around, leaving his room with a robe. He was met with Tabby on the couch and Tabitha in the kitchen.“Morning, Tabby. What’s all this?” Blake asked Tabby, who was watching a Saturday morning program.“She wanted to treat you to breakfast for saving our mom and for just being you,” Tabby replied, still looking at the program.Blake smiled and went into the bathroom to wash up, and when he returned, breakfast was made. He sat at the counter and looked over his meal, and it was a simple meal of eggs, bacon, and toast with a cup of coffee.“Thank you, Tabitha, but you didn’t have to trouble yourself.”“It may not be as good as yours, but I wanted to thank you for saving mom. I know she can be a pain, but she is still my mom, and you went out of your way and rescued her from her plight.” Tabitha replied as she cleaned the pots she had used and tidied up the kitchen.“We’re family. It’s what I must do,” Blake replied back.When Tabitha was going to
“I wouldn’t call this the slums mom, much less middle class.” Tabitha began her argument when Blake interrupted.“Tabitha, could you give me a hand in the kitchen?”Tabitha left them and followed Blake into the kitchen holding a few dishes. Blake placed everything on the counter when they entered and turned to her.“Tabitha, I know you want to defend me but look at how adamant they are. Nothing you say will change their mind, so let’s drop it. It’s not worth it.” Blake explained that he felt it would be futile to try and explain if they were that convinced in their lie.“You’re right, and the truth will eventually come out. I hope it doesn’t bite them in the ass when it does.” Tabitha replied after sighing.Blake smiled, finished putting the leftovers into the fridge, and washed the remaining dishes. He then headed out with Tabitha in tow, not explaining anything to the mother and daughter left behind.Claire looked at the two leaving, and only then did she notice the green ring on Ta
“I’ll be meeting him Monday after he arrives from his trip and inviting him over so we can properly thank him,” Claire said casually as if it was no big deal to invite another man to their home.Blake oversaw the delivery of the truck’s arrival and placed them on charge. Entering the building, he sees Tabitha helping Sara with the employees receiving their work uniforms.“Attention, everyone. Can I have your attention?” Blake yelled over the chatter of the employees’ enthusiasm over the changes.“Thank you. Now I need six volunteers for a particular work assignment.” When three men and three women were chosen, he met them in his office and explained that they would be the new drivers for Lous Suites’ new chauffeured department. He had thought it over and decided that six would be better than only three.They were ecstatic over the news that they would work for a prestigious hotel like the Lotus Suits. Who wouldn’t want to work for a five-star hotel? After they got all the information,
Claire then grabbed her hand and looked at the jade ring on her finger, which glowed with soft light, and as Claire looked into it, it was suddenly swept with warmth throughout her body, and her eyes shined emerald for a second and returned to her natural color. The spirit Qi from the ring entered Claire and began to circulate into her meridians, then entered her heart, giving her a pleasant feeling.“Where did you get this ring? You should know that you should never place it on this ring finger until you get married.” Claire said, pulling herself out of the trance.“It was given to me by my brother and specially made for me.” Tabitha proudly said, showing the ring off.Joan looked at the jade ring and gasped. She was familiar with precious stones and jewelry, and this was an imperial jade ring worth a million. The craftsmanship to produce a ring like this was a genius of a crafter.“Darling, you said Blake gave you this? Could you tell me where he bought such a ring?” Asked Joan.“I
Tabitha walked in and saw the gifts that Blake had bought and smiled. “What a beautiful bracelet mom, and that pendant do enhance your outfit, Claire. Blake will swoon over you while you wear it.” “What nonsense are you spouting? This has got to be one of your sister’s admirers who gifted these. What has that good-for-nothing ever accomplished and given to this family? Let me say this: you must stop all this foolishness and stay away from Blake. He’s not good for your image. Just look at this bracelet. How could someone like him ever afford something this exquisite unless he stole it.” Julie went on a barrage of remarks against Blake. “Mom, I happen to know….” Tabitha was about to say they were from Blake, but he entered at that moment. “Is everyone ready? We don’t want to be late for dinner.” Blake said and walked towards the front door to leave when his mother-in-law stopped him. “And where do you think you are going dressed like that?” “Why, to the Weston dinner. Tabitha invit
The voice then didn’t speak any longer as Yawayer frowned. She didn’t want to personally leave Heaven and deal with the Four Guardians herself, but the actual creator wanted her to go, and she was helpless to follow his commands. It was the same with the God wars and the rebellion in Heaven all those years ago. She regretted her actions, but what was she supposed to do? The creator had a plan involving her pretending to be him and utilizing the Heaven Angels to bring the Power of Faith to this dimension. In the end, she lost her bestie and had all of the women of her race exiled to Hell, a barren dimension, as instructed by the creator. Now, he wanted her to personally go and release the four guardians and cause destruction upon the Mortal realm to bring more Power of Faith to them.Sighing again, she prepared herself and took out a golden-lined jade token. With this token, she could easily descend and not have to pay such a price for her cultivation to degrees. She changed into a mor
“Don’t look at me like that. We are to leave for the Inner World now. Ladies, we will depart first.” Blake Three stated and headed to the Traveling Formation.“What, no kiss goodbye?” Clara asked as she dropped the sound barrier between her, Blake Two, and the rest of the world.“I’ll kiss you if you want.” Blake Two said next to her.“I would never deny a kiss from you,” Clara said, kissing Blake Two thoroughly.Blake Three and Susan Hemingway entered the Traveling Formation, and Blake guided the Formation to take them to the Inner World. To Susan’s surprise, a tunnel of lights arrived, and she looked at it wonderfully.“The Thraveling Formation will bring us to a courtyard of the family I married into. The pressure in the Inner World is greater than in the Small World, and the Spirit Qi is denser. I will create a light barrier around us to help with the sudden pressure and see if you can handle the change in atmosphere.” Blake Three said with concern over Susan’s well-being.“I unde
Blake Two saw the revelation in her eyes as she realized the situation. He had a foreboding feeling and saw it change into a lustful stare.“As I had said, you are married, and my cultivation will cause you harm, so I’m afraid I will have to decline your offer.” Blake Two said, looking at Susan with an apologetic smile.The Goddesses laughed at Blake’s comment, which confused the man.“What’s so funny?” Blake Two asked, confused over their sudden outburst.“It’s not only your cultivation inside of you. Do you realize you may also be the cure for the Vampiere condition?” Clara asked Blake.“Cure? How so?” Blake asked, not knowing where this was leading.Susan Hemingway heard what Clara said and was surprised by her words. There was never a cure for her race’s condition. They only had to bear the thirst and hunger of their condition. Normal treatments had all failed when trying to revert back to humans. Many wanted to, but most wanted to continue having the power that the condition brou
Blake was speechless hearing this from Susan Hemingway. Was she not already married to Reginald? She was also of the vampire race, and his cultivation could harm her condition.“I. I don’t think that would be a wise decision. I’m….” Blake began.“All too willing to become yours.” Came a voice that Blake never would have believed saying such a thing.Claire walked to the couple and smiled at Susan Hemingway.“Who is this enchanting woman, Blake?” Claire asked, looking at Susan.“This is MRS. Hemingway of the Hemingway family.” Blake introduced Claire to Susan and emphasized MRS.“Ah, so you are a….” Claire hesitated in her speech.“Vampire, yes, we feed on blood,” Susan said, seeing the startled woman.“Understood,” Claire said and smiled kindly.“Always the gigolo, are we not?” a voice came from behind Claire.Blake looked, and to his surprise, an elderly woman coming from behind her. His surprise was warranted since he had never allowed such a person to enter the Small World. Blake l
“Sorry, but it seemed important. Is everyone okay?” Blake asked, looking at the area where Tabitha had come to call upon him.“Yes, they are in the living room waiting for my return,” Tabitha replied.“Okay, I will take it from here. Don’t worry.” Blake said, hugging her to comfort her fears.“Thank you for coming,” Tabitha said and held onto Blake for a while as her motions became calmer.Blake then let her go, and they proceeded to the living room, where the couple were waiting for Tabitha’s return.They were surprised when they saw Blake’s arrival, as they assumed he was away on business.“You arrived,” Susan Hemingway said with surprise.“Yes, with Tabitha saying that your family was here, I came quickly. What seems to be the trouble? I will help as much as I can.” Blake said he had a good impression of this family and didn’t want more trouble in the future because of their race.“This is the situation. My family is on the brink of extinction.” Reginald quickly stated.“How is tha
Sir. Aldridge then left the room and made a phone call. A man in red robes was drinking a glass of bourbon and sitting next to the fireplace with a nice fire crackling when the phone rang beside him.“Yes.” The red cardinal replied.“Your eminence, the ones known as Azrael, Chamuel, and Ezekiel, have disappeared after the destruction of the holy temple. They left with Blake and have not returned as planned.” Sir. Aldridge replied over the phone.There was silence on the cardinal’s end as the news was shocking and startling. Then, a respiring voice was heard on the other end.“What of the Hemingway family?” The cardinal inquired.“We have been only monitoring them, and they have not caused any trouble since they had last met with Blake Elon. It seems they keep in the shadows and do not want to bring any attention to themselves. Azrael wanted to only monitor their movements for the time being since Blake Elon was a greater threat to the Holy Order, but since….” Sir. Aldridge informed th
The two sisters looked at Julie with confusion. Family vacation? When was this supposed to take place? Then Tabitha’s eyes widened, and she remembered that Blake had promised them a family vacation after Tabitha had graduated from college, and she smiled in her remembrance. She stopped at a posterboard when she first met Blake, and he promised her a family vacation to celebrate her graduation. With all that had happened since then, she had forgotten entirely this promise until Julie brought it up.“I forgot Blake’s promise since then,” Tabitha replied.“Then it’s good that I reminded you,” Julie said.“Mom, with everything going on, it’s going to be a miracle that even he remembers the promises he made,” Tabitha replied and checked on her son, who had woken from his nap.“No, a promise is a promise. Blake has to make it happen.” Julie said, folding her arms to reintegrate her demand.“Mom, I’m a Mother as well, and going galavanting on vacation is the last thing I need to do,” Tabitha
“What do you think Blake is doing to her?” Kelly, who was naïve, wondered as pain and punishment sounded from the home.“Sounds like he is punishing her for not being forward with her information when they came into the truce,” Sylvia replied to Kelly.“Blake doesn’t punish. He’s too nice of a person.” Kelly replied, not knowing Blake for too long.The woman around her looked at her naive nature and laughed.“Blake once killed all those who had occupied this town because they were evil people who were planning on harming the world,” Sara replied, as she had been there when it had happened, even to the point when her cousin wanted to kill her and Blake only to meet his demise at the hands of his saviors.“So, he’s not kind?” Kelly asked, worried.“Blake is kind, loving, and sweet to his family and friends. If you cross his bottom line, you are his enemy, and you will suffer greatly in his hands. Blake always says he would rather have many friends than many enemies. It’s unfortunate; he
“Okay, Clara. How will you guide us, and how did you enter Blake’s Traveling Formation? Only family or someone with a jade token can enter and travel?” Claire asked, leading Clara from the Traveling Formation.“He, he. A little secret, my dear.” Clara said, and this time, she sounded her age.Roseline was, after all, a Formations’s Master. The Formation Blake had created, even with the help of Silver Light, was still a weak Formation that she could infiltrate. If Blake had utilized the Scripture writings, this would have been another story for her.“Okay. Let’s not quibble over details. Is he still with Lucy?” Clara asked.“Yes,” Claire replied, looking at the home Blake had brought Lucy to.Suddenly, loud slapping came from the home, as did loud anguish sounds.SLAP!“AUGHT!”SLAP!“AUGH! MORE!”SLAP, SLAP!Everyone around looked towards the home, surprised to hear the beatings that were taking place within.Blake was there with a paddle in hand, and Lucy was bent over a coffee table
