BANG! BANG!The men slam into the nearby walls, landing on the floor with a loud thud."Ah! Pftt!" They cry out and spit out blood, two of their front teeth dropping down the floor!"Mmm, it hurts. It hurts," they groan, tears pouring down their cheeks as they keep trembling."You two dared touch my woman with your filthy hands! You dared touch my woman! Ooo!" Lucien roars in an unearthly voice.In an instant, he vanishes from where he is standing and reappears in front of them."Get me gasoline and matchsticks, Declan! They will be burnt alive!" He issues a cold order, thick veins throbbing all over him and his face dark!"Yes, Lucien!" Declan responds and walks out.Lucien bends, grabs the two men, and drags them all the way back to Juliet.He makes them sit, their backs resting on each other, and intertwines their hands together in a way that would make it hard for them to free themselves, let alone escape."Ahh, master! Save us!" They cry out."He pulled down my zip, Lucien. They
The whole place is so quiet that only the thumping of hearts can be heard. Even cars are no longer moving to and fro. The busy street is unexpectedly quiet and free of noise.If not that people are still feeling alive, they would have thought something or someone has just put everyone and everything on pause.It is the very first time, West Broad Street will be so silent and idle.Earlier, when the two burly men were on their way to stripping Juliet, the Lady's Galaxy customers had been cheering them on and urging them to be quick but now in front of Lucien's cold gaze and Brianna's ruthless statement, breathing is so hard for them!Just now, they were about to watch a pleasant show, one of the best they would have probably watched but suddenly the voice of someone echoed, and the next moment the two burly men were sent flying with just a kick from him!A kick! And to top it all, it was from Lucien, the so-called pauper! They are beyond shocked!But that is not the case at hand, all t
The attention of everyone is drawn to the young man making his way to Lucien and as their eyes land on him, their breaths catch!He is the same man that just spoke! But that's not the only reason they're shocked.When Lucien ordered Declan to go get Gasoline and matchsticks, they thought it was all an act but seeing it turning real is beyond shocking to them! Their mouths are shaped into an O shape.Declan is holding a ten-liter bottle filled to the brim with gasoline in his right hand and matchsticks in the other! It is now they are realizing that Lucien wasn't bluffing!And it is making them more terrified! If he can be ruthless enough to burn those men before their very eyes, doesn't that mean he would do what he said he would do to them?Judy and Elliot are tense. They are still stunned by how the tables turned."You arrived at the right time and didn't miss anything," Lucien responds to Declan, smiling up at him. "Place the matchsticks and gasoline on the floor.""Why don't I jus
"Yes, Lucien!" Declan grins. He feels so excited. Yes, Lucien is ruthless but it's not every time he shows his crazy part!He is so excited to the point that his hands are shaking. What a good show! He so loves this Lucien right now!"You won't dare do that to my men or Judy!" Before Declan can make a move, Elliot rises from the floor and roars at Declan.At the same time, two men in blue and black with security tags on their shirts walk up to Lucien. "Sir, we can't also let you do such a thing to these people. They are our prestigious customers so it's in our constitution to never stand by and watch harm come to them," One of them says respectfully.Lucien's face dims. When Juliet was subjected to the same treatment, these security guards did not stand up for her, but now that he is seeking vengeance for her, they have devised such a ridiculous constitution and trying to deter him with it.So many asslickers everywhere! He would never stand on celebration with such people!"The two o
"Hmph!" One of the security guards scoffs disdainfully. "What Mr. Wood? Is he a big shot that we don't know about? Hah! Why should we apologize to a pauper with a few martial arts moves? We would never stoop that low! Moreover, this isn't your problem! Get out!"Jack's veins throb as he clenches his teeth. "Anyone who offends Mr. Wood offends me! Mr. Wood's problems are my problems! Mr. Wood is someone I can't afford to provoke! Who then are you? I have no doubt that even your master can't afford to provoke him! Don't get me pissed off and do what I said!""Hahaha," chuckles the other security guard. "What nonsense! What has he fed you? Do you have any idea who our boss is? Even you, let alone him, cannot afford to provoke my boss! Hmph, Jack, don't come here and spout nonsense! It's disgusting!"We know you are strong but if you continue to stand in our way, we will deploy all of our fighters and go toe to toe with you! We would never do what you want. can you afford to force us? Our
"No, he didn't say that just now. He didn't just indirectly address him as master," Elliot is so shocked that his mouth shapes into an O as he babbles and his body begins to shake.He pinches himself to ensure that this is real, and only after experiencing pain does he believe. "Didn't Judy say he's a mere pauper? Didn't Judy say something like that? I didn't hallucinate that, did I? No, of course not. There must be a mistake somewhere. There has to be!"He rushes over to Jack, ruffles his hair, and clears his throat. "Hi, my name is Elliot Cole. I'm the successor of the Coles family. I...""So?" Jack abruptly cuts him off with a stern look on his face. He never likes it when people hurry over to him only to babble about who they are. It irritates him."Erm, Ja... I mean, Mr. Ville, don't you think you are making a mistake and standing on the wrong side? This Lucien Wood is a mere pauper with nothing to his name. "He always speaks vain words and claims to be what he isn't. You must b
"Lions don't eat at the same table as dogs, do they? Certainly not! I, Declan Flynn, would never let a dog do things with you, Lucien!" He turns furiously to the guard and raises his fist."No, please don't hit me! I was only carrying out my master's command! Please don't kill me. I have a wife and kids I look after. I am all they've got. Please don't harm me. If not for my sake for theirs. Please, I'm begging you," the security guard, terrified out of his wits, falls to his knees and cries out.Lucien sneers. "So now you have kids and a wife you look after? I remember you, you were the same guard who said 'what Mr. Wood?' Were you not arrogant just a few minutes ago?"Didn't you say you'd fight my friend with all of your men? Why would I spare you? Or do you think because you mentioned your wife and kids, I'll be so generous to the point of letting you go? You have to pay for your crime no matter what!""Please don't kill me! I can prove my innocence! I was only carrying out an order
"Someone I shouldn't have ever thought of going against? The last face I'll see? Hah! That's so funny," Lucien laughs. He turns to Declan and asks derisively. "People blow their trumpet a lot in this city, don't they?"Declan chuckles. "They are all rich dummies, what did you expect? I'm actually so sick and tired of them. Like, they never make any other statement. It's like they were all schooled to say the same thing over and over again. "But I'm not surprised though, most wealthy men are like that; they all think they can scare everyone with their wealth so they normally always blow their trumpet without knowing who they are talking to. But guess what? They will always bow down to you!""Hahaha, I love the last part," Lucien grins.The old man frowns. How can they be chastising him in his very presence without an ounce of fear? Do they know who he is?"Hmph!" He grits his teeth. "Ain't you two afraid of death? Or do you think I'm joking?!""Do we look like we care if you are joking
As Lucien and Juliet walk through the door, into their room, Juliet bolts the door. The next second, she drops her nightgown.Lucien is backing her as he is trying to rid his body of his clothes. So, he is oblivious to this.Taking that as an opportunity, Juliet slowly frees herself of her panties and bra, standing in all her glory. It doesn't take long for her cheeks to flush red. For more than an hour now, she has been so aroused.Her mind couldn't stop flashing in her eyes what she and Lucien were doing before they noticed Brianna. The images got her so aroused. At a point, she began feeling helpless. In the space of two or three hours, she freshened up more than twelve times. Each time the urge was so much, she would rush into the bathroom and pour water on her body so she can calm down.But Lucien is here now. She doesn't know if she can wait any longer. No, she doesn't think she can. She slowly walks up to him at the same time Lucien is removing his pants and hugs him from behi
The ride to Dragon bay is a quick one as in the blink of an eye, the chauffeur pulls over in front of the gigantic gate, which appears to be glowing in the dark, making everywhere look so breathtaking."Wow," Brianna gasps whilst shivering in excitement. As soon as Lucien alights, she quickly follows him. But Lucien halts, causing her to groan. Her curiosity is at its zenith."You can leave now, Bryson, we will speak on the phone. Have a good night.""Alright, Mr. Wood. Have a good night's rest as well," Mr. Ethan replies reverently and taps his chauffeur who had been lost staring at the magnificent buildings behind the gate as if his life depended on them. "Let's go."The chauffeur snaps out of his reverie and nods, revising the car and zooming away.Lucien stares at the duty post of the old man from earlier and sees no one in it. Good, the man left. He then brings out his phone and dials Juliet's number."Honey," Juliet's sweet but tense voice sounds from the end of the line."Mi a
Brianna is perplexed. She furrows her brows as she asks, "How?"At this moment, before Declan can say anything, the car comes to a sudden halt and soft knocks are heard on the two glasses. Lucien unwinds one while Declan unwinds the other. It is the two Jacks and Tyler."You said you would be leaving for Washington, D.C. tomorrow, Mr. Wood, are we coming with you?" Tyler asks."Nope," Lucien doesn't waste a second shaking his head. "I'll be going with Declan alone. This is a family matter. Besides, as you guys know, it is Washington, D.C. that I'm going to this time, not some minor city around Richmond, your powers will be useless over there. Just enjoy your rest.""But this is also Washington, D.C., Mr. Wood, how would you survive over there alone if the Pearsons choose to attack? I heard they are one of the major families there.""It's a family in Washington, D.C., what can they possibly do to Lucien?" Declan retorts smugly. "You guys should just take a chill pill, we will meet you
Brianna is confused at Lucien's response to Declan. Of course, she knows who Ellison is but what she doesn't understand is what Ellison has done that Lucien plans to pay him a visit and seek an explanation. It should not be forgotten that Brianna was kidnapped before Ellison's men arrived to destroy the Mansion earlier so she has no idea that her family Mansion has been destroyed.She can only look at Lucien and asks, "What happened, Lucien? Why are you preparing to visit my dad's half-brother? What did he do this time?""It's like this," for several minutes, despite the fact that he wasn't the one asked, Declan takes his time to explain everything to her.By the time he is done, Brianna is not the only one boiling in rage, Nikki, Tyler, and the two Jacks can't also help the rage surging through them. Just like Brianna, they had no idea something of such happened before they left for East Highland Park. Hah! They are so shocked!"If the Mansion was destroyed, where then are we going
"This is the Douglas family Manor, what does what I'm doing here got to do with you?!" Brooks glares right back at Brianna and retorts coldly. It is safe to say that Brooks and Brianna share the same manner of animosity toward each other. Brooks is the reason the Pearsons ever fell. Brooks is the reason Juliet stabbed herself. Brooks also tried to kill Lucien.There's no how Brianna wouldn't hate someone who did all this. If she has her way, she would have ripped him to threads!On the other hand, Brianna was the only trump card Brooks had to get Lucien into his trap. He had also been salivating fucking her so many times till there was nothing more left to fuck.One could imagine how angry he is that all his plans have failed. And now, the same Brianna is questioning him? He wishes he can rip her useless tongue out of her mouth."Do you guys know each other?!" Seeing the grave animosity between the gent and lady, Ryan can't help but ask."Nah," after a while, Brianna shakes her head.
Muah!Muah!A soft sound echoes as Helen kisses Lucien's feet. The next moment, the Douglases also begin approaching Lucien one by one and kissing his feet. This goes on for more than twenty minutes before it finally comes to an end.Lucien is quite emotional. These people at the very last moment suddenly exalted him to the status of a God in their hearts. It's not something that happens often. A drop of tear slips from his eyes, silently dropping down to the floor."Lucien shed a tear," Declan gasps. The last time he saw Lucien shed a tear was when the young man Ares, told him about his parent's demise. Lucien hardly cries!He looks at the Douglases and says deeply, "You guys are damn lucky! You made Lucien shed a tear. Consider yourselves family from now on! Lucien would protect you all as a lion would his cub, as a father would his child, as a human being would his pupils, and as a God would his creatures!""Thank you, Mr. Wood! Thank you, Master!" The Douglases exclaim, so delig
All her life, Ava has always dreamed to live with and in power. It's not wrong to say she orchestrated everything. Yes, Hugo and Joseph used to be close brothers who were always there for each other. In the past, people who had no idea of their identity often mistook them for twins. This is because they wore identical clothes, went everywhere together, pursued the same type of girls, ate together, often bathed together, and were never seen apart.Even when Joseph became the helmsman, he never abandoned Hugo for one day, he always took him along and often asked for his advice before he made certain decisions for the family. It is safe to say that both of them ruled the family together without anyone knowing.But things began changing the moment Ava came into Hugo's life. She started planting evil seeds in him. Especially, when she found out that he and Joseph actually ruled the family together. At nights, when they were about sleep after lovemaking, she would begin telling him how goo
Brianna's face darkens. "Don't even think about it!" She snaps at Nikki, covers the remaining space between her and Declan, and takes his hand into hers. "He is mine! Go get yours!""I am yours?" Declan raises a brow at her. "Since when did I become yours?!""Ah, Mr. Declan, shouldn't you be happy?!" Helen eyes him up and down. "A few minutes ago, when you attacked Mr. Douglas, you had said he dared touch your woman. Just now, you were also apologizing to Ms. Brianna. From the look of things, you like her! Shouldn't you be happy she is accepting you?!""Uhm," Declan scratches his hair. That really happened. He definitely can't deny it."You really said I'm yours?" Brianna looks into his eyes and asks."I-" Declan nibbles on his lower lip. He actually said that to high his vigor so he would be able to attack Hugo. It's not like Brianna is actually his woman. They only had sex so how can she be his woman? He clearly lied!"I get it. You don't know what we are. But tell me, do you like m
"He has us in mind! See, he planned to pledge allegiance to Mr. Wood once he became the helmsman so he will lead the family to greater heights. He is just like his father. Selfless and always searching for every opportunity to move the family higher."A pity we listened to Hugo and Ava and killed him off with that accident. We even killed his baby mama. He was going to marry her that day and make her a real Douglas, therefore making Ryan a legitimate child! But we-" one of the elders, out of excitement, unconsciously blurts things he shouldn't have.By the time he regains himself and tries to shut his mouth, it's already too late! He had already dropped the bomb!"What?!" From the other end, Ryan who is still on the line, roars and jerks up, scaring the brunettes before him.He had always thought there was something off about the story of his parent's death Hugo told him when he was little. So he didn't think wrong all this time! His instincts never lied! Indeed, there is something of
