“Now that I have your attention. Look at me. Look.” Sharon sternly said to the pouting man beside her as he raised his head and looked at his mother.“There was a mistake in your assessment of Blake Elon. He’s the head of the family, don’t look like that. Some highly influenced families may condone tests for their heirs. He was likely taking this test when you looked up his information. We are in extreme trouble because you couldn’t be satisfied teaching him a small lesson; you had to go for the kill.” Sharon said and looked defeated. She feared that all she had built was to be crushed by her only son.Drake stayed silent all the while Sharon explained their plight. Chives looked at the mother and son and could only sigh inwardly. He was friends with Sharon and didn’t want to see her in this amount of trouble.“Sharon, Blake, and his family are attending my daughter’s gathering; why don’t we visit and settle this misunderstanding now.”“It seems the only way. If we wait, it’ll be wors
When he walked a few paces, he heard the two women squeal with pleasure and quickly gave their information to Claire. Blake stopped at the patio and waited for Claire’s arrival. When she arrived, he motioned for Dynasty to lead the way into the home.“Dynasty, I will need a secured area for talks,” Blake explained.“My father’s study is this way, and it’s very secure for private conversations and well fortified,” Dynasty said as she led Blake and Claire down a hall and to a rather large double door. Opening, Blake could see a large oak desk and fine leather chairs. He went to the oversized leather chair and sat as Dynasty and Claire took a couch along the wall and waited for their guests to arrive. Neither women spoke and asked why they were there as Blake only closed his eyes and pondered his next move.‘Dealing with the Stone family came faster than I thought. I had planned to meet with them next week and get an explanation from them when I visited Jake. Well, better to get this ove
With a sly smile, he agreed to the punishment. “ You’re right, mom. It’s better to live for another day than fight to the death.”“Tell me, Drake, what’s your greatest desire?” Blake asked and looked at Claire, and with a knowing look, she smiled.“That’s a bit unexpected,” Drake said, feeling a bit flustered.“Not really. You lost your title and money. Being kicked out of the family. I’m curious about your desires now that you’ve lost it all. Please tell me. I want to know.”Dynasty felt an impulsive wave hit her as she looked upon Blake being strong, authoritative, and sexy before her. She was about to get up when Claire placed her hand on her, and she calmed down. Sharon became flustered as her feelings for this man before her became stronger; like Dynasty, she also was always attracted to men with power. Chive sat there, only dazed, as his only desire was to live a happy life with his family and to have Blake as his son-in-law.Drake’s eyes became red as the anger inside of him wa
“Why don’t I remember getting here? I remember being at home with____never mind; I was at home.” Drake stated embarrassed about what he recalled doing before leaving home.“Your short-term memories were affected, but you will be fine now. You should not have any psychotic episodes from now on; if you still feel for the lifestyle you had, that’s on you.” Blake said and patted him on the shoulder, then returned to his seat behind the desk.Drake looked down and pondered for a while, then looked up at Blake with determination in his voice.“I want to follow you. Everything I have is yours. You saved my life, and my life is yours.” Drake said, looking at Blake.“Do you remember who I am? To state such a claim?” Blake asked through squinted eyes. “And why should I have you follow me?”“I know you are the CEO of Express Delivery and entirely depend on your wife. I usually would detest you for that reason alone, but after meeting you, I don’t believe what the reports said. You can cure me, a
Sylvia was flirting with a few women and heard Blake shouting at her; she smiled, made her leave, and rushed over to Blake and the couple.“Mr. Sermon, Miss. Taylor, I would like to introduce my cousin Sylvia Elon, director of the Elon Trust Entertainment department.” Blake introduced them when Sylvia arrived.“Dear, we met at the clothing store, Miss. Taylor is a good friend to Claire, and Mr. Sermon had a fascinating theory,” Blake said as she placed his arm around her waist.As Blake spoke to his cousin, Revis had a foreboding feeling, and he worried more.“Oh? Do tell.” Sylvia said, looking intensively at Crystal, then turned her attention to Revis.“Yes, according to Mr. Sermon here, it would seem that if you gave a little sugar to a woman, they would drop everything and spend a night with that person. He even said a million would have Claire secretly spend a night with him.”“Really? Fascinating. So what sugar are you selling?” Sylvia asked casually, ignoring the couple.“Well,
“As for the matter he expunged, I will only say the sinus cavity.” Blake continued with the explanation she wanted. “What else are you interested in?”“You already answered most of my questions, knowing you are a cultivator. If I may be so bold, what level are you? It can’t be low if you could survive the mercenaries my son sent.”Blake paused for a while and decided to claim a few levels below his actual cultivation.“Peak GrandMaster.”Sharon was surprised by this revelation. ‘It’s safe to say I made the right decision. Not everyone can gain a master, much less a peak GrandMaster cultivator. I need to persuade him to take me.’“Blake, as for the deal we made to save my son. If you wish, we can consummate my end of the deal.” Sharon said with a seductive tone, leaning closer to him.“What part are we going to discuss?”“Why me being yours, of course,” Sharon said, placing her hand over her mouth, making her look adorable.“Well, we will have to inform my wives. I’m sure they would no
“Blake, this still doesn’t prove that love will solidify a relationship, and it only proves she is a slut.” Sharon said as she watched Crystal leave.“Okay, still not convinced. What would you say if I relinquished my power and wealth this instant and transferred the title to my cousin, Jake?” Blake asked.Sharon thought for a minute and responded. “But you wouldn’t.”“Let’s say I did. Where would you stand if I was a pauper?”“There would be no reason to stay with you then. I would be more wealthy and powerful than you, so why would I stay with you?”“Why indeed. Claire?”“I would become a pauper’s wife and care for my husband.”“Sylvia?”“I would also become a pauper’s wife and care for my husband.”“You see, that’s the difference love does for a relationship? This response would be the same with all my wives. I was a pauper when I met Claire, and we went through hardship together. Sylvia never saw me as a wealthy or powerful man when we were younger when her feeling grew for me. Yo
Claire looked at the once strong woman who became fragile before her, crying over a man, but not any man but her husband. Claire rose from her seat and hugged Dynasty, giving her comforting words.“Dynasty, he didn’t reject you. He’s the type of person that needs to build his love for you. Tabitha, Sylvia, and I have been with Blake longer, and his feeling has grown for us. As he said, give him time, and I’m sure he will accept you, and to let you know I have already accepted you as a sister. What about you girls?” Claire asked, pulling herself away from the crying woman and looking at her other sisters, all nodding, but a complex look was seen on Samantha, Susan, and Trish. Julie stayed quiet, not knowing what to say about this outcome with her daughters.Half-dressed, Samantha began to walk out but was pulled back by her friend Trish.“Where are you going, Sam?” Trish asked in a hushed voice.“To confess also,” Samantha replied with determination as if it was the logical thing to do
