“Steve, are you leaving so soon? Why don’t I get some wine, and we can have a good chat.” “Sorry, but I have work in the morning and will have to decline,” Steve said and continued to walk towards his car and left the area. A few feet away, a balding man smiled at himself as he went over the many pictures and videos he had just taken. The acts of the loving couple were ever immortalized in digital high depth. Looking at the video, he couldn’t contain his lustful desires and began to take the opportunity to find release.He was too busy satisfying his desires to sense the ever dangers lurking next to him as two shadows arrived behind him and knocked him out, making him drop the camera into the bushes. A slender feminine hand reached out and retrieved the camera, still playing the scene that had taken place in the home.“Claire! Mother is back! How did your evening with Steve go? He didn’t seem to be in a good mood!” Julie yelled as she walked into the home. Claire’s voice came from
“Dad, it’s not like I don’t like Blake. It’s because I don’t have a say in the matter. Why can’t I choose the one I want to marry? What if I had fallen in love with someone else and decided not to marry Blake? Look at what is happening right now. Blake is already married, and according to the contract’s specifications, his marriage is null and void. How would you feel if the same thing had happened between you and mom?”“Cough, cough. We will leave that discussion for a later date.” Mr. Shuler said, not wanting to talk about it.“What do you mean for a later date?” Sara asked, squinting her eyes at her father.Blake looked at Sara and smiled. She looked cute when she was upset, and just like when she was a little girl when they played, she would get upset then. So Blake chuckled a bit, seeing her reaction with her father.“What are you laughing at? You should also be just as upset as I am.” Sara looked at blake the same way as her father.“I am, but I couldn’t help it. You looked ador
Blake did as he was told, helped her to the bathroom, and left her. Claire then slowly lowered herself into the tub, and when the water touched her sore spot, it stung, and a little blood was released into the water. When she finished, she felt a little better and was startled by Blake waiting for her by the door. He helped her back to the bed. On the vanity was her breakfast. When she was settled, he brought her meal to her. Claire looked at the vanity, then remembered the two wine glasses left the night before. She looked at him, was touched by his kindness, and felt remorse for her actions.“Rest today. I’ll tend to you till you get better.” Blake said as he walked away.Julie entered after Blake left and shut the door.“How are you feeling? Did something happen last night?”“Mom, I’m fine. I just pulled a muscle, and I’ll be better when I rest for a while.” Claire put on a tough face.“That’s good. Your appointment with the doctor tomorrow can’t be rescheduled.” Julie said, leavin
The following day Claire felt an arm around her and panicked. Seeing it was Blake, she quickly kicked him out of bed, sending the startled man to the floor.“What are you doing?” Blake asked. “Are you trying to kill me after last night’s kiss?”Claire then remembered what had almost happened and her promise; she blushed.“Sorry, I…”“It’s fine. I should have been up a long time ago. Sorry if I scared you.” Blake said, getting himself off of the floor with a smile.He had always gotten up before her but was too comfortable with her in his arms.“I’ll start breakfast. How are you feeling today?”“A lot better, thanks to you.”“It’s what I should do; you’re my wife,” Blake said, leaving the room.Claire blushed hearing his remarks and got out of bed. The pain was light, and she could move freely on her own.Leaving the room, she bumped into her mother, trying to hide her blushing face.“Why is your face so red? Not coming down with something, are you?”“No, mom. I’m fine.”“Good, but hav
Claire left the building in a daze. What she had known all this time was all a misunderstanding, and Blake wasn’t being unfaithful. Claire was thrilled in her heart, knowing that Steve didn’t have children outside the family. Then shock crept in when she realized that she was unfaithful and had an affair with Steve behind Blake’s back. Tears began forming in her eyes from the regret that she didn’t trust Blake. Julie drove the car, and she entered, wiping her eyes.“What is wrong with you? Why are you crying? Did something happen?” Julie asked Claire with concern.“No, a misunderstanding cleared up, and I’m happy,” Claire replied, putting on a solid front.While Blake waited for the paperwork, he was busy creating another set of highly censored pictures; soon, the paperwork came with a bank card with eighteen million. It was pretty standard; all he had to do was sign and have her sign, then it would be done since they never consummated the marriage.Blake made his way back to their vi
“Father, don’t listen to him. He’s conspired against us to take our money, and he knows about the hundred-million-dollar investment and is scheming against us!” Julie cried out, trying to place blame on Blake.“A year and a half ago, I delivered your package that changed my life and Claire’s. At first, I considered all my options and decided to marry your granddaughter. I’m very grateful for that decision due to some troubling situations that I was involved in. The Anderson family are prominent and tricky to handle along with your granddaughter Claire.”“What you mean, Blake?”“Father, don’t believe him; all he’s doing is spouting lies!” Julie yelled behind the door. All the while, Claire was pacing back and forth when Julie turned around and placed her hands on Claire’s shoulders, making her stop in front of her mother. Tears were still in the corners of Claire’s eyes.“When we return, we will destroy everything; no one will know,” Julie claimed as she held Claire.“Mom, please stop.
Standing, the two ladies slowly walked into the study of George and sat in the leather chairs in front of the desk as George closed the door and returned to his desk. After a long silence, George finally spoke.“I hope you two are happy. The family may have just indivertibly lost the only savior of the Westons.”The two women were taken back. ‘How could Blake be the savior of the Westons? Wasn’t he only a small-time business owner now? Before, he was only a delivery guy.’“Father, are you maybe mistaken? Blake’s only a small business owner who got that with Elon Trust’s help.” Julie tried to correct her father.Not wanting to divulge too much, George answered with a question.“How do you think he acquired his business?”“Why through Mr. Wheaton, of course. When he went to his family coronation of the new head of the family, he was associated with him, and he proposed a business plan and got the business for himself.” Julie said, thinking back to Blake’s explanation.“And how close is
Steve Anderson had been awaiting news from his man. He even went to the man’s office but found it closed and locked. After inquiring about his whereabouts, it seemed that he had disappeared after that night. Steve bashed his desk in anger without knowing what to do or how to get in touch.‘That bastard must have skipped town with the pictures. Will he blackmail the Weston family himself and leave me out of it? Regardless, the outcome will be the same, but what about my pictures.’ Steve pondered then an evil smile came across his face. ‘I’ll have to make some new ones later. I’ve been avoiding Claire for this long. Maybe I should arrange a meeting with the excuse of being too busy with work.’When he was thinking of contacting Claire, a knock on his office door came with his new secretary entering. She was a middle-aged woman, around forty, who his father had assigned him because his work was slacking. She was Barbra Justine, and she had Blond hair, a good complexion, a small body that
The color went out of his face, and he stared at the two women, his love clinging to the other’s neck. He blinked a few times as the situation couldn’t be processed instantly. Jacqueline was leaving him for another woman; leaving for another man was one thing, but for another woman? Granted, Xuanlu was a gorgeous woman, the most beautiful he had ever laid eyes upon, but for the love of his life to say she preferred another woman over him, to see her giving the other woman such a kiss that he had never received, his stupified feelings became anger.Grabbing the embedded cleaver, Brutus swung it towards the two women. The force and momentum of the swing would split Jacqueline into two, but a sound of metal hitting metal was suddenly heard, and Brutus's force was stopped instantly.“Cling”Brutus was shocked at the scene he was seeing. There, on his clever that could slice an animal through and through bone, was being held by two fingers accompanied by Blake.“Sir, I believe you are bein
“Master and Misses. Please, this way.” Soto Asa said and beckoned them to the entrance of the restaurant.Blake and Xuanlu entered the building only to find that it more or less looked like a tavern than a restaurant. What were they expecting? This was, after all, a small village. Ignoring the decore, they sat at one of the tables as many were curious why such royalty was coming here.A nervous young woman arrived and smiled her best at the couple. With a massive bustline and hourglass figure, she looked like she would be the most beautiful in the village. She was quite the looker, with an innocence on her face. She has wavy, long, auburn hair and blue eyes. But compared to Xuanlu, she paled in appearance.“What can we do for you?” She asked, smiling intensely.“What meals do you recommend for breakfast?” Xuanlu asked with a lovely voice that the men and woman fell in love with upon hearing.Since her cultivation had risen, Xuanlu’s seductive dragon aura had also risen, making her mor
Blake Prime was sitting in a luxurious carriage, being pulled by four white horses with black horns on their heads. His eyes closed as they traveled to the middle of the Provenances to meet with the Emperor. He suddenly opened his eyes with a smile. Xuanlu, sitting next to him, was sleeping soundly, laying her head on his shoulder.“What a formidable Seal,” Blake said. In the past, when his clones were far away, they could not communicate with one another until they were rejoined or closer together, causing them to lapse with the information arriving swiftly. This changed since the Mind Palace had the Stone Steely arrive with the Scripture. They were indeed one but not one. It was complex, but it was worth it not to have this weakness. Everything the clones were doing now was within Blake’s knowledge. Still, he could also stop the information when they required alone time with his women so he would not be distracted during a critical situation and vice versa.Blake then looked down at
Lucy was startled and cried out when the Soul Brand was placed on her soul for Blake to control her. She didn’t think that Blake would use such an unscrupulous method on her.“I’m taking precautions. How am I to know if you have a way to break the Dao pledge? This way, you can’t use other methods to deceive me. If you had been honest with me initially, maybe I would have trusted you more.” Blake Three stated with a smirk.In truth, Lucy did have a way to break the oath but didn’t want to bring it out until the last moment and stab Blake in the back. But now, with the Scripture Soul Brand upon her soul, she had no other choice but to obey Blake’s will and command.If Lucy had known that Blake had such malice intentions upon her, she would have never revealed the Soul Brand and its power over others. She looked over at Bob, gritted her teeth, and blamed Bob for telling Michael about their seals.Bob looked at Lucy apologetically. All she wanted to do was ease Michael’s worries, but she
“Hey, I’m not a devil. I’m a Fallen Angel.” Lucy replied. Taking offense to what Sylvia had said.“Okay, don’t get your panties in a bunch. I was only joking with the fellow. Besides, you look great. Do you want to get tea later?” Sylvia replied.“Sylvia. This is not the time.” Blake Three stated, shaking his head in disbelief at his cousin constantly hitting on his women.“I was only being friendly, a goodwill gesture for my joke at her expense.” Sylvia gave an innocent look towards the group, making her seem being wronged by Blake Three.“Claire is taking the stage, so to speak. Let’s listen to what she has to say.” Blake Three said, changing the subject.“Thank you all for coming. I want to inform you all that there has been a breach on Earth and many other planets where the Upper Realm had released many to cause damage to the people and bring them closer to the church for salvation. A Fallen had orchestrated this with the help of the Upper Realm’s Guardian of the Heavenly Tribulat
An hour had passed, and all were ready to depart. The many women surrounding Claire waited impatiently when two children and a black horse with a golden horn arrived.“I said for you two to come along, why a horse. Why are you bringing a horse with you?” Claire asked, surprised to see Huang’s arrival.“He also wanted to travel and wouldn’t take no for an answer.” Ye Chen embarrassingly stated, placing his hand behind his head.This reminded Claire of Blake, and she could not help but smile a little.“It’s fine, Mother. Huang will be of great help.” Elsie stated but didn’t elaborate.All went to the Transportation Formation, and soon, a blue hue surrounded them. They had to enter the Empire City’s Transportation formation to arrive in the Small World.“Why doesn’t Blake utilize his skill and have all the Formations travel to the Small World?” Sylvia wondered.“It’s a fallback plan. With only one hub, it’ll stop accidents from happening and have people arriving in the Small World.” Sara
Ye Chen and Su Yuhan stopped their sparing and watched as their Master’s wife was talking and arguing with herself. When Claire noticed, she became embarrassed over her actions since she didn’t keep it inside while talking with Roseline.“That’s all for today. Go and have fun. All cultivation and no relaxing can cause bottlenecks in the future. Keep it all equal; work and fun go hand in hand.” Claire said, and then she departed from the courtyard, with the confused children watching her rushing over to her room.Claire entered her mind Palace and encountered Goddess Roseline standing there looking at Claire with sorrow.“Claire, I’m….” Roseline began but was interrupted by Claire.“Save it. We have much to discuss.” Claire said, looking at Roseline indifferently.“You’re right. As far as my Grandfather said, the people that have infiltrated the Earth are hiding in a place known for its war-torn environment, making them hide their auras. I’m unfamiliar with your world’s landscape, but
Roseline could have sworn that she had misheard her Grandfather.“There is no return mission, so will all those people?” Roseline asked.“It’s been decided that they will be eliminated when their worth is no longer needed, or if they can ascend again, the Heavenly Tribulation will be used to the max and destroy them without a soul to return,” Harold said, looking at Roseline.“Well, you are now back, and they will not be used in such a manner. You can stop them.” Roseline said, looking like a heroine.“It’s too late. They have already descended and are waiting on the sign to attack.” Harold said, disheartened.“Already? How many?” Roseline asked.“As many as a million strong. They are in a remote area, keeping a low profile, not even releasing their auras due to a powerful individual who showed himself, so they will not be discovered until the destructive force arrives.” Harold said, shaking his head, depressed for what he had allowed to be done through being controlled.Roseline thou
When Roseline hit the wall, she spat up some blood; this was the extent of the power he released. Roseline did not fare too well when her Grandfather released his power onto her. Realizing what he had done, he calmed himself and rushed to her.“Rosaline, my child, see what you have made your Grandfather do?” Harold said, looking at her.Fear was seen in her eyes for the first time as she looked upon her Grandfather. This man had always treated her with kindness and love. Right now, she didn’t even know who he was.“You are not my Grandfather!” Roseline yelled out at the old man. This made him step back suddenly in surprise and then regain his composure.“What are you saying? I’m indeed your Grandfather. Why are you saying such a thing?” Harold asked.“My Grandfather would have never used his power against me. He would never have locked me up and sealed my cultivation. You are not my Grandfather but an imposter!” Roseline cried out.“Alas, the little things always give it away,” Harold
