"You are joking right?" Lucien laughs. Even though he ran away from home and has a strained relationship with his parents, they are still his parents, his blood and he loves them so much. Who would dare hurt them? He is the invincible God of War! Who can afford to provoke him? No, Ares must be joking.But Ares's expression remains unchanged. He shakes his head slowly. "Your dad's right-hand man betrayed him. He set up an ally, one powerful enough to defeat ours, and launched an unexpected attack on us. It was too unexpected because there was an occasion going on that day. Before we could retaliate, he already had an upper hand."Even most of our men who we thought were on our side abruptly switched sides that day and began fighting against us. I tried to get your parents to safety, but they were all over the place. Your dad fought tirelessly, as did your mum. We all did. But we were unable to prevail. Your dad and I watched your mum get killed, and I in turn watched your dad get killed
Declan is particularly agitated. His cheeks are flushed, his teeth are clenched, and his veins are throbbing. He can't help but wonder who Lucien is, for such a strong man like Ares to bow down to him and say what he just said! He's never been so curious about Lucien before, but he can't help himself right now.His mind is wandering far and wide as a result of the little words he picked up from Ares and the little Lucien explained to him. Is Lucien a king? What does Ares mean by he has risen? What did Lucien leave behind when he ran to this city? What kingdom was Ares referring to? Why does everything seem so mysterious? He's lost in thought so much that his head is aching and his body is drenched in sweat.If he hadn't been so determined to always obey Lucien's rulings, he would have rushed to him now and pestered him to tell him the truth about where he came from and who he truly is. He can't believe he's been serving Lucien all these years without knowing anything deep about him.
"Seems you both have a good history, Lucien," Declan says, his gaze lingering on the spot Ares just left from."We did. I suppose we still do. He was the only one who ever listened to me when I whined about not being where I want to be. He's a nice guy.""And also powerful. If we fight, I doubt I'd be able to beat him."Lucien chuckles. "He's been a warrior all his life. Started training as early as three years. I really won't say he would defeat you as I feel you both are on par. "He trained alongside me when I was still home while you trained alongside me in the training ground so you two have things from me. I believe you two stand a chance to win each other. But it would be extremely hard. The easiest you guys can end on a draw."Blood surges through Declan. He feels so ecstatic. "I wish I could fight with him! I've been on one level for a very long time! Lucien, fighting him might really help me break through this level and top up! Particularly if I can defeat him! After all, I'
Meanwhile, back at the Pearsons' Mansion, Juliet is sitting on her bed with her head between her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks onto the floor. Since morning, after what happened between her, Lucien and Brianna, she has been crying her eyes out.Her eyes are all red, swollen, and puffy.Her hair is disheveled and strewn all over her face.Her room is muddled. Her pillows are scattered in different positions on the floor, her duvet cover is undressed, and her lampstand is shattered on the floor. Everywhere looks so messy.From the view, one can easily discern that she has been crying while scattering her things.It's late afternoon yet she hasn't had anything to eat. She hasn't even brushed or freshened up. She looks more like a mess of herself.Her heart is broken. For several hours now, she's been thinking about what Mrs. Avery once said. She's been wondering if it is possible that Lucien only loved her because she was wealthy, and now that she's nothing, he sees no need for
Brianna finished getting dressed ten minutes ago and has been waiting for Juliet in the sitting room for the last twenty minutes.But Juliet does not appear to be forthcoming, and while this is not supposed to bother her because she had told her to come if she wished, she is still disappointed.After all, Juliet is her sister. One with whom she grew up and shares almost everything.She suggested this outing so they could spend time together as sisters and get to settle their differences, but Juliet appears to be opposed. Maybe she despises her too much to go out with her. She has every right to be anyway.She is in a perplexed state. In the middle of knocking on Juliet's door or simply leaving.She opts for the latter. At least to save her pride. She has apologized and proposed the outing, one thing she will never do is stoop that low to go knock on Juliet's door again.She walks towards the door, looking at her reflection in the glass window one last time to make sure she looks good
Juliet and Brianna turn at the sound of the voice, and standing in front of them is a brunette lady standing as tall as Juliet, clad in an extravagant golden gown that does everything it can to reveal her matching panties and bra-less boobs The dress appears to be a mere facade because it appears to serve no purpose.To top it all off, she's wearing a g-string. Everything, including her pussy lines, boobs, mons pubis, ass, belly button, and belly, is visible to all.She's clutching a golden little purse that compliments her dress, and beside her is a man in his mid-forties standing just as tall as she is, clad in a Stampa Silver Baroque Ricamo shirt and pants with a golden watch on his wrist and an iPhone in his hand.From his attire, one can easily tell that he must be from a wealthy family. And he doesn't seem to mind the lady's dress."Judy Rose?" Juliet calls, her eyes flashing with recognition.Judy Rose was one of the beauty contestants Juliet had to compete against. That can e
Juliet is greatly aggrieved. On one side, she can't afford to cheat on Lucien despite the fact that they don't have an official relationship.He has been there for her and her family since he returned, even when she didn't notice.While she was in the hospital, he fought the Villes at the risk of his life to exact revenge on them for attacking her family.He saved her parents after getting them out of the Villes Villa by admitting them into the best hospital in Virginia and paying their bills. On his return, he gave her gifts without revealing who gave them to her.He saved her from entering a marriage she would have regretted for the rest of her life and refused to be swayed by her parents' curses, mockery, and disparage.When she wasn't giving him face, he kept on pushing. He went so far as to stage his own accident just so he could spend every second with her.Then the one she cherishes most, they made love to each other earlier today. Words can't explain how much she loves that lov
Elliot's nose wrinkles. Why does she bother me? What's my business with what happens to her? Am I her guardian angel?It shouldn't be surprising that Judy is merely a fuck tool in Elliot's eyes.After he failed to make Juliet his years ago, he continued his lifestyle; toying with girls.After all, he is the successor of a great family, girls would do anything just to have him say hello to them, let alone when he touches them.Over the years, he has fucked and toyed with more than fifty girls. He always had one every night. He changed girls as if they were clothes.Judy happens to be one of those girls but on a different level; she was ambitious. Came for something more than sex.She desired fame and was willing to go to any length to obtain it. Judy, of course, is stunning. The fact that she finished third in the beauty contest demonstrates this.Elliot agreed right away. They sealed the deal that night with hot rounds of sex.Elliot wanted to send Judy away in the morning because he h
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
