“Welcome, my Emperor. How was your meeting with the other kingdom heads, Yang Jun?” Qui Ming asked as she walked to his side with a loving smile.The scene before Blake was like a movie in first person view; he had no control over. He heard the words as he watched the beautiful Olivia Pikes beside him, who was wearing an oriental robe and was looking at him with love.“We are still debating. They are a bunch of stubborn fools, especially Emperor Xiang. He opposes my every effort to unite the kingdoms into a flourishing Empire. It’s very frustrating, Qui Ming.” Yang Jun said, pinching the bridge of his nose.“Why don’t I get Tang Yung to accompany your bathing to relieve your stress?” Qui Ming suggested.“No need when I have my Emperess by my side.” Yang Jun replied, placing his arm around her waist while he laughed, feeling better around his wife. “We haven’t shared a bath for a while now; come wash my back.”The couple went to the bath area, a large pool with many nude male and fema
“I’m fine. What happened? All I remember is talking to a woman I’ve never met and then darkness after a pain in my head.” Blake said, placing his hand on his head out of instinct when remembering his pain.You’ve been in a coma for the entire night.” Sara said, looking at her watch and seeing it was already dawn on Thursday. “Nothing could wake you, and the doctor said it would all depend on you to come out of it naturally, seeing all your vitals were fine.”“It would seem I have worried all of you,” Blake said with a remorseful smile.“As long as you are better, let’s call the doctor; he wanted to check on you as soon as you wake up.” Claire was still adamant about calling the doctor to check on him.A few minutes later, an elderly man in a white doctor’s long coat came in and checked Blake’s vitals and did a thorough examination. Shaking his head, he said he was the healthiest patient he had and left to finalize the discharge papers.“What happened at the ceremony after I passed out
Blake hurriedly signed the release forms, guiding the women out of the hospital. They agreed to meet back at his Grandfather’s home for more explanations from Olivia. During the ride back, Blake was silent, thinking back to his dream when he became unconscious.In a waiting room, a handsome man and woman were waiting for a meeting with the CEO of Faithview Enterprise, Kevin Jasper, who had transferred from Elon Trust and given the CEO position to Sam Wheaton under the orders of Blake.“Mr. Anderson, are you sure you want to do this?” Polly Tristan asked with concern.They were here to finalize the merger of Anderson Realty with Faithview Enterprises and, with the contract investment, help launch Anderson Realty to the next level. Still, Polly was overly concerned over the contract terms they had gone over. Even though she was only his assistant, she had an education that would baffle the masses on why she would be only an assistant to Steve Anderson.“What’s to worry about? I did the
“It’s been all a ploy since that time, hasn’t it? The real estate investments were falling through, and the clients backed away from the projects at the last minute, regardless of the penalties. It was all you meddling in the company’s affairs.” Steve said with realization.“How is Cheryl Danders doing these days?” Blake asked, with Saline looking at him with surprise that he would know that name.Steve looked startled for a moment and then in his shock quickly but not to the trained eye of Blake.“How am I supposed to know? I haven’t been in touch with her since that night. Saline betrayed me.” Steve stated coyly.Hearing her best friend betray her, Saline became nervous with anticipation. How did her boss’s boss know about Cheryl, who disappeared that night?“After Claire and Saline got closer, I investigated the whereabouts of her best friend, who suddenly disappeared on the night Saline got pregnant. and Do you know what I found?” Blake asked Steve over his nose.“This has nothing
“Steve, just for your information, the only way to get rid of being Cucked is for the man that did it to disappear; enjoy your time in prison, and don’t let the soap fall in the shower.” Blake retorted, making Steve realize his position was not too favorable. It would not take much for Blake to get someone to kill him in prison or make the rest of his life miserable.Seeing the back of Steve Anderson being taken away, Blake then reminisced about earlier when he had arrived at his Grandfather’s home. When he entered the living room, the women had already taken their seats, and the children were outside playing. Taking a seat, Blake looked at the concerned looks of all the women in his life. Sighing, he witnessed them wanting to know what had happened to him when he confronted Olivia Pikes.“Let me begin with. I know you are all concerned with my well-being, and I’m also at a loss for what exactly happened. All I know is when I repeated what Olivia stated about….” Blake began.“WAIT! Wh
“Sir, six-month trial?” Polly asked, confused. She thought she would resume as always.“Don’t take it to heart. If you perform well, It will be permanent, but if you betray me and my company due to being with my enemy for so long, the outcome will not be if you are fired but if you could continue in your well-maintained livelihood.” Blake explained.“I’ll do my duties to my most total capacity, sir. You need not worry.” Polly stated quickly, feeling a fear she never knew she could have.“Good to know. I’ll be waiting for your great results. Oh, by the way, to continue working here, take this.” Blake said and handed her a Jade bottle.Looking confused, Polly opened the bottle, and a putrid smell made her nose wrinkle.‘He wants me to drink this foul thing?’ Polly wondered.“It’s called a Gono Elixir. As bad as it smells, it will help you with your STD situation. Steve Anderson was not a clean man and has transferred it to you; with the help of this elixir, you will become clean again.”
Claire stayed quiet as they returned, feeling regret and sorrow for what she had done to Blake with Steve. It was true that, in a way, Steve had won over Blake, and she was guilty of that outcome. It would have been probably best that they had divorced then, but her heart had changed with Blake’s actions for her as her husband, and she had never asked the very question she longed to ask.“Blake.” She broke the silence as they walked the upper hall.“Yes.”“Have you ever forgiven me?” Claire asked in a low voice with her head down.“A long time ago,” Blake said lovingly when he stopped and touched her cheek, looking into her eyes. “Don’t fret over something we can’t change; I love you and the children.”“When Steve said he had won over you, I couldn’t think straight. It hurt me so bad, and I was doubting myself in thinking, was he correct in saying that or not?” Claire said and placed her head on Blake’s chest as tears began. “I was so clueless about how he was. I thought he loved me,
Blake knocked on his Grandfather’s study door and waited for his reply before entering. This time, Robert was sitting behind his desk, not by the cold fireplace, going over his computer.“Ah, Blake, have a seat,” Robert said, turning his monitor to face Blake.On the screen was a man taking notes as a woman was what seemed to be interviewing with him.“It would seem your Aunt Clarice has been stirring up some false accusations on your behalf. It would seem she is unsatisfied with you being the heir of the Elon family and has misspoken to this reporter.” Robert said and turned the monitor back.“Does Jake know what his mother did? Is it a big deal?” Blake asked, confused over this conversation, not seeing the reports yet.“It depends. She said you had PTSD and are under much stress with the arrest lately, which is why you collapsed at the ceremony. How do you want to handle this?” Robert eyed Blake.Blake frowned and thought about this being silent for a while.‘She is family and the m
