“I assure you and mom, I have only treated Tabitha as a sister, and the family has been very respectful towards her.” Said Blake replying to his mother-in-law’s comments. “As it should be, how can a country family compare with ours? You should feel privileged that she even went with you to meet with your country bumkin family.” Declared Claire, back to Blake’s acknowledgment of his sister-in-law. “If there is nothing else, I just wanted to let you know that there was nothing to fear and that we will be heading back tomorrow.” Said Blake trying to end this call earlier.“Well, you go slowly on the road. We will be awaiting Tabby’s return.” Said Claire and hung up the phone, not even giving Blake any respect.Blake then put his phone back into his pocket and headed back to the banquet hall. Seeing the double doors closed and guarded by two bodyguards, he didn’t think much of it as he approached the two men but stopped when one put their hands on Blake’s chest.“Hold, this is a privat
“Nancy Elon, what I just said, you have taken it as a whisper? Did I not say that no one is to blame? If you want compensation for the dress, I shall retrieve another for you myself.” Robert had gotten irritated over the commotion that she was causing.“It’s fine, grandfather, and we’re not going to pursue this matter.” Ralph quickly replied to Robert’s rebuttal over the situation.Seeing that everyone had quieted down again, Robert started walking back to the table with Blake following. The two bodyguards returned to their post and closed the doors. Nancy and Ralph returned to their seats, and the atmosphere returned to normal, waiting for Robert, the head of the Elon family, to start with the coronation.“Family, with great consideration and thought, I have decided to step down from the head of the main family and turn it over to Blake Elon. Jake….” Robert stated to the family but was interrupted when a loud crash was heard from the back of the room.Maria was replenishing water on
Blake looked at the two in front of him and sighed. He could see right through Maria’s intent from the beginning, and he had observed her movements throughout the night when she spilled the pitcher earlier. So he smiled at her and motioned for Tabitha to come by his side.“Miss. Trist, we have met again. If you are truly repentant of your earlier actions, you will apologize to my sister Tabitha. Then we will forget all grievances past and present.” Blake said, looking at Maria.Maria was surprised by Blake’s announcement about Tabitha. When did she become his sister? All she knew was that she was from a lower family than herself and Douglas.“Tabitha is your sister? I thought she was….”“Tabitha is my sister-in-law, so she is now my sister, is there a problem?” asked Blake, interrupting Maria mid-sentence.“No, no, Tabitha and I go way back; we were like sisters ourselves. Tabitha, I deeply regret how I have treated you in the past; I’m truly sorry; I hope you will forgive me and cont
Seeing her not responding to his question and being silent, Blake spoke again.“Tabitha, do you not want to be my adopted sister?”She was finally brought back to her senses with tears of joy.“Brother, it would be my greatest honor to become your adopted sister.”She then hugged him and softly cried onto his shoulder. This scene was beyond everyone’s imagination. Who would have thought this woman would inherit a place in the Elon family? Robert looked on, and tears of joy crossed his face when he saw the two together but had to separate them to continue the ceremony.“Uhm, my dear, the rest of the family needs to continue. Being his sister, would you like to also give your loyalty to him?” Robert had patted Tabitha’s shoulder to stop her hug onto Blake.“What? Oh, I’m sorry I got carried away. I would love to show my loyalty to my big brother.” Tabitha dried her eyes and smiled at everyone.Tabitha also knelt in front of Blake and gave the oath like everyone. A bright energy surge le
Being ignored, Jake sat there hearing the conversation of the two women next to him. His anger was at its peak. He had already suspected more of Blake and Tabitha’s relationship, but it was only speculation. The more they continued their conversation about Blake, the more unsettled his heart became. He had to turn things around and become the new CEO of the business and the new heir of the family.When the family finished the ceremony, Robert stood next to Blake and motioned to Jenkins to allow a few people to enter the room. The double doors were opened, and five people walked in and knelt before Blake. The first man was the duly elected President of the United States, George Cluney. The second was the Prime Minister of England, Mrs. Gloria Howtzer. The third person was the King of Africa, Obera Mucha. The fourth was the leader of the United Nations, Robert Downing. Finally, the last one was Sam Wheaton, COO of Elon Trust Enterprises. Gasps were heard throughout the room as everyone
Tabitha thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. Like Blake said earlier, it was up to her mother if she believed her or not.“I was invited to the coronation of the Elon family of the Capital by Blake’s family. They just got a new family heir and head. All of the side families had to attend...,” said Tabitha.“My God, are you telling the truth? Did you see the heir? What’s he like? Is he single? Did he take a liking to you?” Julie continually asked Tabitha.“Mom, what’s with all the questions? I was with Blake the whole time and his family.”“Dam, that bastard is always causing trouble. If it wasn’t for Blake, you could have caught the eye of the head of the family. Now wouldn’t that be great, my daughter as the head wife of the Elon family of the Capital?” Julie was beside herself with this thought.“Mom, why must you belittle brother like that? If it weren’t for his family, I wouldn’t have been able to attend.” Tabitha was upset over what her mother had said about Blake.
This time Blake didn’t return with his cousin Jake. Now, he was the head of the family and could only ride back with his grandfather and Tabitha.As the car continued down the highway, Blake looked at his grandfather and asked. “Grandfather, that chair, what is its background? I have never seen such a chair like it.”“It’s the house leader’s chair. He who is chosen will benefit greatly from the chair. It was handed down throughout the family. It’s said that the first Elon held that chair and had it made by a sorcerer.” His grandfather explained. “Why is there some significant reason?”Blake looked puzzled and then decided to let his grandfather know what had happened during the ceremony.“When I got close to the chair, it seemed that it had pierced deep into my soul. It was like being nurtured by a gentle force that seemed to flow around my body when I sat upon it. I also noticed that the jade ring gave off a glow every time someone came to kiss it with sincerity. For a select few, it
Blake made his way into his grandfather’s study and saw him sitting in his favorite chair in front of the fireplace giving a crackling sound from the burning logs. Blake approached him and sat opposite his grandfather in one of the leather chairs. After a while of silence, his grandfather leaned over, poured Blake a glass of red wine, and then poured himself one. Then after handing it to Blake and taking his glass, he spoke.“The chair will be in your room shortly. I’m having it sent over while we discuss this matter. You said that you could sense a change within yourself when you sat upon the chair?”“Yes, it’s a little hard to describe the sensation I received. Almost as if a wave of warm energy was coursing through my body.” Blake replied, looking at his grandfather.Robert got up and started looking through his books until he came across an old leather-bound book. Retrieving it, he sat back down and opened it. Flipping through a few pages, he stopped and began to read from the pag
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
