Juliet's bedroom...Lucien is lying comfortably beside a sleeping Juliet, holding a bowl of warm water and a small towel inside the bowl.It's 4 AM. It hasn't even been thirty minutes since he and Juliet finished their last round of sex and she fell asleep. He never imagined he'd be able to go round after round of sex. But last night proved it all.They couldn't get enough of each other and kept going back into each other's arms as if there was no tomorrow. At some point, he even lost count of how many rounds they went through the night.The euphoria of their lovemaking last night hasn't worn off on him. And the sensuousness of her body is still entwined in his arms and engraved in his mind.Juliet looks so weary as she sleeps. Her hair is splattered across her face and there is no single fabric on her luscious body.She had been so exhausted that when they attained climax the last time, she didn't even wait for Lucien to pull out and fell asleep.The dizziness rocked through her entir
Declan is nervous. His entire body is drenched in sweat, and he can't help the shudders shooting through him in unpleasant waves. For a man of his caliber, he appears more like a scared kitten right now. Probably the first time he would be in this state. It is so freaking him out. He pats his chest to calm his nerves and once he feels he is calm enough to face Lucien, turns to him and bows. "Lucien."Lucien regards him from head to toe and detects something's odd. First and foremost, his friend is trembling. Second, he is drenched in sweat. Declan hardly shivers, and except he went for roadwork, he can't be this sweaty. Does he have something up his sleeves?Lucien arches his brows and purses his lips as he walks towards him, but in just two steps, a certain aura hits him so hard that he slightly takes a step back and stops dead in his tracks.Seeing this, Declan's breathing quickens. No, let it not be what he is thinking. No, Lucien can't find her! He can't! He squeezes his hands t
Declan's face becomes as ugly as shit. He frowns, sucks his teeth, and lowers his head. And with a bitter smile, he says, "I've never lied to you before, Lucien. I wouldn't keep it from you if she was here! It hurts that you don't seem to trust me anymore! It really hurts!""Her scent is all over the place, buddy. And I have her gown and underwear in my hands. Don't try to deceive me or mask the truth with those words and pity face."Ok, let's say you are saying the truth, do you then mean that my sensing abilities are frail? Do you mean to say that I could have killed innocent people in those moments in the battlefield when I said they had vile killing auras around them? Also, are you saying that I, the great powerful invincible God of War, did not truly deserve that title?"Declan shudders and his mouth slightly parts open. How can Lucien bring that up? It has rendered him speechless! He sighs exasperatedly and bites his lower lip.But he remains silent because he is still unsure w
Declan is frozen in place, with no idea what to do, say, or feel. He doesn't even understand how things escalated to that point. Did he say something really awful to her? Was he wrong?What should he do now? He is really having a bad morning. He's not sure how he'll face Lucien and now this. He sighs and ruffles his hair. Maybe, he'll figure out how to deal with it all later. Perhaps, when he's calm.With that thought in mind, he sets everything aside; his feelings and all that, picks up his phone, and uploads the video. "Let the show begin!" He drops back his phone, sticks out his tongue, and grins as he makes his way into the bathroom.In a Villa Downtown: 7 a.m.A hint of the morning sun breaks through the horizon, illuminating the dark world and shining into a luxurious Villa.This Villa, while not comparable to the Villes' or Bodens' villas, or even the Pearsons' Mansion, is extravagant and enthralling on its own as it stands a chance to be compared to the Smiths' Villa. Also, t
The man in his mid-fifties in front of Elliot is raging as he barks. "Tell me, Elliot. Is this how I trained you?! No matter who the girl belonged to, have I ever taught you to go over another man's woman because you feel you are more powerful than them? "All your life, what have I been teaching you? Have I not warned you several times not to ever use your status to oppress the weak? Open that your wretched mouth and tell me, you unfilial son, is this how I groomed you?!"Elliot shudders and falls face down on the man's feet. This particular man is none other than his father! He is Mr. Jacob Cole, the helmsman of the Coles!Despite the fact that his family is the third wealthiest in Virginia, his father is one of those who genuinely made his money and rose the family to the status they now hold.He is a very principled and cultured man who does not believe in anything evil! This is why he is highly respected by all!His father's personality was why he was so terrified when Lucien thre
The slaps are unexpected! Even Joseph had not expected Jacob to slap his only son! That was not his intention when he chose to speak the truth; it is just that he is a man who has never liked evil.Jacob turns to face the bodyguards stationed at the entrance, glaring at Elliot, who is clutching his cheeks and wide-eyed. "Get that unfilial son of mine and throw him into Darling's cage! I want him shredded to pieces! A disappointment like him can't be allowed to live! Also take everyone who supported him when he blamed everything on Judy Rose with you!"The mouths of the distant descendants of the Coles who had supported Elliot parts open, and they immediately fall to the floor."Please, senior Cole, don't do this.""Please helmsman, we were only talking out of what we saw in the video! Please don't kill us!""Please, helmsman!" They beg amid sobs.Who is Darling in the first place? Darling is a 14-year-old male lion! He is so cold-blooded that nothing escapes his mouth! Nothing! Not e
Jacob might be a strong callous man, who hardly shed tears, but as he watches his only son plead for mercy in the most humiliating way possible, two streaks of hot tears slowly stream down his cheeks.He lowers his head and turns away, backing Elliot. It is extremely difficult for him to keep on staring at him. He is afraid he might develop high blood pressure from how fast his heart is beating right now and how hurting it all is.His lovely wife died while giving birth to Elliot. He had single-handedly trained up Elliot. The lad is all he has in this whole wide world.But now he's putting him in a death better position for the rest of his life. It certainly hurts him a lot. Elliot is still his blood no matter what. The only seed he has.Part of him wishes to abort the punishment. But, remembering everything that is at stake, he can only grit his teeth and say in a barely audible whisper, "Begin!""No, father, you cannot do this! Please! Please, father! Please listen to me! Listen to
Joseph has spent half of his life serving the Coles. He began serving them even before Jacob's father was appointed as helmsman. He had risen from the ranks of a mere guard to that of a butler, then to that of chief butler, so it's no surprise that he knows every detail about the Coles.Also, he had not spent most of his leisure whiling away time. Instead, he used it to learn about the daily activities and society and the educational status of the majority of the Coles.That is how he discovered that 99% of them are undergraduates! In normal circumstances, they are completely useless! What better time to bring it up than right now? He can't believe Jacob would rather flee than punish his son! When did the vile principled man become this volatile? Hah! It's kind of irritating! Well, even if Jacob still chooses to go ahead and flee, he won't be around to see how things turn out. Yes, he is damn serious about stepping down! For a man like him, he doesn't think he can bear being part of
