"One question at a time dad," Brianna mutters and rolls her eyes at him. "Moreover, why are you asking what happened to her as if you don't know what might happen to her after what she just faced? But if you must know then Juliet stabbed herself! I don't need to tell you why, I believe you already know that. If you will excuse me, I want to go check up on my sister whom you both just harmed." She hisses and tries to stand but he draws her back and sits her back down."You will talk to me respectfully. Did you hear me!" He barks hoarsely his hold on her tightening.Brianna closes her eyes and chuckles despite her discomfort. "Respect?" She bursts out laughing. "I'll rather respect a dog than you greedy assholes. Get your filthy hands off me!" She yanks his hand away from hers and storms away, glaring at him."He had stabbed her and pretended not to have a hand in it! Juliet will never stab herself!" He wails attracting everyone's attention, yet he receives no response from her.As he t
Lucien is unmoved by Mr. Santiago's darkened face and raspy breath. As far as he knows if not that he is Juliet's father and that her case hasn't been decided yet the man would have been kissing his fists by now. To him, the man in front of him is nothing more than a piece of garbage that he can destroy with the snap of his finger. If it weren't for his undying love for Juliet, the man isn't even worthy to stand five meters close to him, let alone bark at him.Lucien is not mistaken in his feelings for Mr. Santiago. The man may be the wealthiest in Virginia, but to be compared to Lucien Wood, he is nothing.If he knew who was standing before him, he'd be licking Lucien's feet. If he knew the man in front of him is the ferocious god of war he will be bowing with his face to the floor.It takes Lucien a lot to calm himself as he slips his clenched fists into his pockets and shakes his head. "Juliet is lying in a ward right now, eyes closed because of your foolishness and all you care a
She steps so far away from Juliet's bed as her anxiety builds up to its peak and her heart begins to pant heavily against her chest."What do I do? What do I do?" She babbles as she paces around, hands on her head. "She must have heard the cries. Shit!""Please let me in! I'd like to see Juliet and attend to her. Open up right now or I'll be forced to go get the security and have them break down this door! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!!""Do you have the nerve to talk to my husband like that after stabbing our daughter?" As Lucien is about to speak, a harsh voice asks, and he snaps his mouth shut.He's been looking for her all this time so he can give her a dose of what he had just given Mr. Santiago a few minutes ago, and when he sees her walking toward him with a hard glare on her face, he chuckles and waits for her to get close before clearing his throat. "You're here Avery; I've been looking all over for you. Where have you been? Or you haven't had the gut to come to see the daughter you ca
"Well, I...I don't know. It's just..." The receptionist trails off at Brianna's question, realizing that even if it's true, she's making an evidence-free accusation, which could land her in hot steam. She knows the Pearsons too well to toil with them, so she snaps her mouth shut. Although a middle-class lady, she knows she doesn't stand a chance with such a powerful family. She still loves her life so damn much.Brianna sighting the expression on her face and discerning what it means as she has seen that expression on several people's faces smiles and pats her on the shoulder. Being a Pearson she had been able to escape so many things even when she is at fault. Who would dare make a case with the Pearsons? Does the person have a death wish?The principle alone gives her a feeling of superiority over the lady before her as she stares at her terrified face knowing that she doesn't even need to say a word to get out of there but then just to clear the air she sighs. "I will never la
Mrs. Avery quickly scurries away at his roar, her hands clamped tightly against her chest. She is suddenly so pale even more than a white sheet of paper and her whole body is shivering titanically. She is merely standing as it is taking her a lot not to wobble and fall and pee is slowly dribbling out of her pussy hole onto her lacy pants due to how terrified she is. It just feels like the ground should open up so that she can enter and shield herself from this man with such a menacing aura.Although Declan is just a little furious as if he is indeed furious no one will still be here he still gathers gasps and shivers from all the people around.Not just are they shivering their hands are passed over their mouths too and their eyes are widened to their extinct.They just can't understand why Declan will be addressing Lucien the good-for-nothing as 'Master.'"He must be mistaken...""Perhaps Lucien just resembles his Master because there is no how this good-for-nothing will be his Mas
Before Declan's entire sentence has finished, some of the people are already fleeing, while those who are still able to stay are clutching each other tightly, using one another as shields as a cold shiver runs down their spine.When Declan stated what he intended to do to them, they had no doubts. The aura emanating from him and his dark expression revealed to them that he is not joking.The hall is deafeningly quiet, and no one dares to make a sound. Whether from their mouth or other parts of their body.They are just as cold as ice and can't even raise their faces to stare at him as he terrifies them to the core. They never believed just a man could have such a menacing aura and that one's face can look so much like that of the devil. It is something they felt can only be seen in the movies. But now they are seeing it with their very eyes. It terrifies them.Lucien smiles as he observes the expressions on the people's faces and their shivering bodies. He hasn't seen them in such a s
Juliet has been admitted to Glistening Royal Hospital for two days now.It hasn't been easy for Lucien for these past two days. It's been extremely difficult for him to be apart from her.It just feels like a part of him is slowly slipping away and he often spends the whole day speaking to her even though he doesn't get a response and it feels like he is merely talking to a corpse.He had done everything he could that day to get the terrified doctors to wake Juliet, but after everything they had done, they announced in shivering voices that Juliet had lost a lot of blood and even had to undergo an act they couldn't seem to place their hands on.To top it all off, they said that all that has caused her to slip into a coma with 70/30% chances of survival.Lucien had stared gravely at them not believing that something happened after he left her in the receptionist's care but after staring at Brianna's uneasy reaction he instantly felt that something was off about her but what?Lucien wa
Declan clenches his fists and slacks his jaw. "That scumbag!" He snarls. "I've always had the feeling that there is something off about her.""You knew?" Lucien stares at him pleased that his buddy had noticed what he thought he was the only one who noticed."The way she looks at you Lucien isn't how a soon-to-be sister-in-law will be looking at her soon-to-be brother-in-law. There's a hidden motive in her heart. Although, it is only hidden from those who can't see it. Could she have attempted to murder her sister in order to have you all to herself because she can't stand her sister taking you away from her? Is it possible?"Lucien goes silent for a while as his mind connects the dots with what has been happening for the past few days. Just yesterday she cooked for the very first time just because of him and served him in his room. It wasn't just about the food but she was clad in a skimpy short skirt which revealed her pantless butt each time she squatted and her nipples were poki
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
