THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.132
"This is... this is outrageous!" Serena finally sputtered with fury. "How can they just broadcast these lies without any proof?"Knox reached out and placed a reassuring hand on her arm. His touch was cool against her flushed skin. "Calm yourself, my dear," her dad murmured soothingly. "This is merely the opening salvo in what I fear will be a protracted battle. We must keep our wits about us."The news then cut to a panel of pompous-looking legal experts in expensive suits, angrily debating and shouting over each other about whether Judge Grayson should be immediately disbarred and Serena charged with a litany of crimes based on the flimsy circumstantial evidence presented so far. It was a full-blown media circus unlike anything seen before, with each pundit trying to outdo the other with more inflammatory rhetoric."This is a clear case of judicial misconduct!" one red-faced man bellowed, pounding his fist on the table. "Judge Grayson must be stripped of his position immediat

Everyone abandoned their brunch and followed Knox to the grand outdoor foyer, where Dimitri had gathered all the maids and guards per Knox's order. The employees were already quivering the moment they were brought out to stand there in formation. They had expected maybe Seven or Killian to handle whatever interrogation needed to happen but were shocked to see their Master, Knox himself, striding out looking like a predator on the prowl.The air was thick with tension as all the staff had their eyes cast downward in fear and respect. They shuffled uneasily, waiting for the impending storm.Knox's penetrating gaze scanned over the huge crowd that left Serena speechless. She was shocked to see so many subordinates working at a single villa - tall, muscular men in expensive black suits alongside maids in equally professional black and white attire, all gathered obediently. There had to be at least a hundred employees present, maybe more."Is every single member of the househo

It was clear to all that the missing maid, Sophia, was working for their enemies. The whispers and murmurs rippling through the assembled staff confirmed as much.Knox had an inkling that that Sophia wasn't the only traitor lurking within the vast network of household employees. He swept his gaze through the crowd one more and landed briefly on a particular maid standing stiffly at the far back of the assembly. She was a striking woman, tall and slender with the kind of sharp, haughty beauty that often masked a cunning mind. Her chin was perpetually tilted upwards as if looking down her nose at everyone around her. Arrogance was written all over her demeanour. Knox gave the maid only a second glance before an unseen power lashed out with rapid, vicious force without uttering a word or even moving his hand. The insolent maid let out a shriek of pure surprise and horror when the invisible energy slammed into her, flinging her forward like a rag doll tossed by a bored child.

The sound of shoes echoed on the polished marble flooring as Knox and the collected group made their way back into the lavish villa. "Take the traitor to the dungeon. Bind her in silver chains. Ensure she cannot escape." Knox's commanding voice that sent chills through the room rang out before they could fully disperse.“Yes, master!” Two burly guards immediately stepped forward. Their faces were set in harsh lines while they seized the traitorous maid by her slender arms. She let out a muffled cry of pain and fear as they roughly manhandled her, not caring about her comfort and began to wrap heavy silver chains around her wrists and ankles. The metal gleamed coldly in the light, its touch burning against her skin and suppressing her wolf abilities.The disgraced woman let out series of agonizing shrikes and struggled weakly, trying to dig her heels into the ground as she was dragged across the courtyard. But it was futile - her captors were far too strong, and her fate was

The recent scandal had Knox barely able to contain his urged to kill Alex. However, he had decidedly more vengeful intentions simmering beneath his stoic exterior. His piercing gaze was distant and cold as he contemplated the ruinous devastation he planned to bring down upon The Montgomery and The Easton corporations.Their unforgivable acts of deception and betrayal against his new beloved mate would not go unanswered. Knox's fingers twitched at his sides, already itching to unleash his formidable hacking skills upon their digital empires.Once the commotion had died down and the household settled into a rhythm of preparation, Knox excused himself to his private study. “Give me five minutes!” He muttered to Serena before striding toward the grand staircase. Serena could only watch his retreating back with nothing say. Knox’s fingers flew across the keyboard with lightning speed the second he settled behind his desk. He began to utilize his outstanding skills as likely t

A hush fell over the room as all eyes turned to the young woman. The clinking of silverware against fine china ceased abruptly, and even Mrs. Ricci hovering nearby froze in place. Although everyone's attention had been focused on the dramatic matters earlier with the treacherous maid, Meredith's keen, perceptive eyes hadn't missed a single detail about Serena's current state.The witch had immediately noticed how Serena was walking with a slight, tell-tale limp. She caught how the human’s movements were way too careful than usual. Then there were the reddish love bites and hickeys peppering her neck, which the young woman was futilely trying to cover up with her long two-toned hair. Meredith smirked inwardly, remembering her own wild nights with Enzo.But the first thing that truly caught Meredith's attention was the obvious lack of a mate mark on Serena's delicate, creamy skin. She had initially thought that Knox had finally found a way to mark his mate without risking ki

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Alex sat behind his imposing mahogany desk with. His eyes were fixed on the smartphone in his hand with an intensity that could have melted steel. The ugly scowl etched across his face deepened with each replay of the damning audio recording.Alex hit play for what felt like the hundredth time that day, subjecting himself once more to the conversation between Serena and her lawyer, Jenkins. Their conversation about a marriage contract and promises of underhanded support to win Serena's case against him filled the room. ["What if there was...another way out of this mess? An alternative solution, one that could secure your freedom once and for all. Would you be willing to do anything to make that happen? Anything at all?"] Jerkins’ voice filtered through the speakers. "Anything to ensure that scoundrel is defeated for good," came Serena’s reply without hesitation. "Anything at all.""Even selling your soul to the devil himself?""Ev

He was arrogant and indifferent as he leaned back in a more leisurely posture on his chair. “I want to look the best tomorrow.” Thomas nodded, jotting down notes on his tablet. "Of course, sir. Anything else?"Alex paused as though considering something. "Yes, actually. I want you to dig up everything you can on Gaard Corp. Financial records, employee rosters, any whispers of scandal or impropriety. If there's dirt to be found, I want it on my desk by morning.""Right away, Mr. Montgomery," Thomas replied. With that, he turned to leave.Alex leaned back in his plush leather chair with a smug grin playing across his face. He felt like the luckiest bastard alive. Serena's mysterious man’s own family had turned against them. It gave Alex all the leverage and inside information he needed to counter any underhanded plans they might try to execute. He savored the feeling of power, imagining the look on Serena's face when he finally cornered her.Alex’s gaze narrowed when he he
