THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.187
Just then, the grand double doors at the back of the hall swung open with a resounding boom, and a squad of grim-faced men marched in lockstep.They charged directly at Governor Glover, encircling him in a close semicircle and obstructing his path of escape. “What’s going on?” “How are these people?” The crowd erupted in a wave of confused murmuring and uneasy shuffling. The lead officer was a tall, imposing woman with sharp features and a no-nonsense demeanor. She delved her hand into her slack and flashed her badge. "Governor Michael Glover, you are under arrest for embezzlement of state funds, racketeering, and abuse of power as a public official," she stated in a voice that brooked no argument. A stunned, disbelieving silence fell over the luxurious hall as the gathered elite tried to process her words. Governor Glover's already flushed face turned an even deeper shade of crimson. His mouth opened and closed soundlessly a few times like a gasping fish before he finally sp

Kylie looked like she had been slapped across the face as the weight of reality finally penetrated her entitled bubble of denial. Her mouth worked furiously, but no sound came out. The tension in the grand hall thickened until it was almost a palpable force that blanketed the entire room. She took in the gathered elite sitting in shock and utterly dumbfounded by the unfolding events. Some looked faintly scandalized, others vaguely gleeful at watching the downfall of the arrogant Bolting family. President Bolting leaned back in his chair with a cold expression on his face as he watched the entire chaotic scene unfold without a shred of pity or remorse. The same could be said for Serena who felt nothing but seething contempt for the wicked trio.Kylie's mind raced desperately, trying to concoct any plan, no matter how far-fetched to save herself from the dire situation rapidly closing in around her. She decided her only glimmer of hope was to use the mayhem and pandemonium of the

"Hang on!" Serena's voice suddenly rang out.The sudden interruption caused a ripple of surprise to wash over the assembled crowd. Their hushed whispers instantly died away and their eyes swiveled towards the source of the faint yet stern voice.Serena rose elegantly from her seat and strode forward. Each step carried her closer to Kylie, and her prowling, almost predatory gait spoke volumes about the shift in power dynamics between the two women.The crowd's collective gaze followed her progress as she moved, drinking in every detail of her transformation. Gone was the broken, desperate woman they had recently seen splashed across the tabloids. In her place stood a vision of poise and self-assurance. Serena finally came to a halt directly before her former half-sister. The contrast between the two women couldn't have been more obvious. While Serena radiated confidence and power, Kylie looked small and diminished. Her once-impeccable appearance was now marred by smeared makeup an

"There is someone else of great importance, an individual who will be an integral part of the esteemed Gaard Corp moving forward - a woman who is none other than the CEO's wife."Another powerful wave of murmurs, excited whispers, and furious speculation washed over the crowd like a surging tide. The reporters and journalists allowed inside the lavish hall immediately began snapping photos and recording footage in a feverish frenzy, desperate to capture every tantalizing second of this highly anticipated unveiling for the world to bear witness."It can't be," one guest muttered in disbelief."Are they saying what I think they're saying?" another wondered aloud.Some of the attendees looked faintly disappointed. Their expressions were tinged with envy upon learning that the powerful, anonymous CEO behind one of the world's fastest-growing business empires was already married. They wondered just who the lucky woman could possibly be to have secured such an elite, coveted position as w

Knox's warm hand guided Serena into the awaiting limo. The plush leather seats enveloped her as she slid inside.A faint red glow bathed the opulent interior in an otherworldly ambiance.Serena's eyes struggled to adjust to the almost darkness.That's when she heard it. The unmistakable sounds of passion. Grunts and moans pierced the quietness.Serena's cheeks blazed. She instinctively turned toward the noise, squinting to make out anything in the shadows."Oh god," she whispered when she caught glimpses of writhing forms at the opposite end of the large limo.Was that Meredith?Serena quickly averted her gaze, embarrassment flooding through her.She hadn't expected... this.Her eyes darted around, desperate for somewhere safe to land.She was startled when she suddenly found Knox’s face mere inches from hers.Her breath caught in her throat. When had he gotten so close?His amber eyes gleamed in the low light, fixed intently on her lips."Knox," she breathed, barely audible.The air

One could practically taste the desire saturating every inch of the confined limo. It was like a bubbling cauldron of lust and want waiting to boil over at any second. The air was heavy with the heady aroma of arousal that permeated the vehicle. Serena could feel her heart pounding in her chest and her skin tingling with anticipation as she gazed at Knox through hooded eyes. She held his scorching gaze that promised pleasures untold once they were finally alone.However, a deafening bang suddenly ripped through the air, shattering the sensual atmosphere in an instant. The entire vehicle shuddered violently as the limo jerked forward with force. Knox’s muscular arms instinctively wrapped around Serena then pulled her against his broad chest.The front end of the limo rose up on its hinges, causing the tires to squeal against the asphalt before crashing back down with a sickening crunch. If not for his lightning-fast reflexes, Serena would've gone flying across the cabin like a ra

Knox just stared back at her silently. His expression remained cold but Serena could see the fury blazing in the depths of his eyes in an all-consuming wrath that burned hotter than the sun's core. "Answer me!" She cried, her voice rising in pitch as hysteria threatened to overwhelm her. Her throat burned, yet she didn't care. "Is my sister alive? Have you been lying to me this entire time?"Silence was all that met her.Serena's heart shattered into a million shards that instant. All the love and affection, the burning desire and passion she'd felt for Knox just...evaporated, dissipating like a wisp of smoke in the wind. Her own father's life was in danger for being held hostage by Knox's vile family, and the possibility that her supposedly dead twin sister was alive and kept prisoner by her own husband… the revelation of Mia being kept in the estate and cheating on her.... it was simply too much for her to process all at once. An overload of emotion threatened to drown her where

Serena's mind was a whirlwind of emotions spinning around in a frenetic storm that threatened to pull her apart from the inside out. Her sister Sirona, the other half of her soul whom she had mourned and suffered for year after torturous year, had been alive all along? She turned to Seven with desperation written in hard lines over her tear-stained cheeks as she struggled to keep her tears at bay. "Get me out of here," she rasped out. "Please...I can't...I can't be near him right now."The words tumbled from her lips in a frenetic whisper. The need to put distance between herself and this man who had so thoroughly shattered her reality burned through her veins. She had to get away, to escape the confines of this mental cage that had become a haunting remnant of their doomed relationship, lest she succumb to the storm of emotion threatening to drag her under completely.Seven gaze flickered between Serena and Knox uncertainly. "I'm not sure that's the best idea right now, Donna,"

Only the monsters remained a seemingly endless horde that would continue to ravage and destroy until the entire world was little more than a barren, lifeless husk. Knox could not, would not, allow that to happen. Not after everything, not after the unfathomable sacrifices that had already been made in the pursuit of preventing such a future from coming to pass. Too much had been lost, too many lives extinguished in the fires of this onslaught. Darkness swirled around him and began coiling outwards to merge with the torrential downpour. The vortex rapidly expanded, growing in size and ferocity until it became an all-consuming maw ready to devour everything in its path. The earth itself seemed to tremble by the vortex of annihilation taking form, as if the very world were protesting the profane nature of the forces being brought to bear. The air itself seemed to warp and twist, reality buckling under the strain of the immense power being channeled. Each bolt of lightning tha

Knox simply remained there for long, excruciating moments, taking in the sight of her serene repose as if etching every line and curve into his tortured memory so he wouldn't lose even the tiniest detail.Suddenly, Serena's body was engulfed in a dazzling burst of light, with glowing tendrils extending outward to encircle Knox's form. He pulled the light within, absorbing it as if he were a hole eating the stars. It was the portion of his soul he had given Serena in both their past lives and this current one, now being reclaimed after her death. Then Knox rose to his feet with fluidity, seemingly defying the rules of gravity once the last remnants of that magnificent essence were sucked back into his form."Let us never meet again!" he intoned, his voice a discordant rasp that held no trace of anything remotely human. The words carried such weight, such profundity of power that the trembling maid instantly crumpled motionlessly to the floor. Her mind simply could not withstand the
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.202
Tears burned hot in Meredith's eyes at the brutal truth of Enzo's words. She had failed - failed utterly to protect Knox, failed to prevent this future from becoming their new reality. Deep in her soul, she could feel the ancient spirits of Queen Minerva and Princess Myra weeping bitter tears of sorrow and regret. Their sacred bloodline, their eternal legacy was now irrevocably tainted by this unraveling of fate.A choked sound somewhere between a sob and a bitter peal of laughter escaped her lips when Sahar's severed head came rolling to a stop at her feet with her dead eyes still holding a mocking glint of triumph even in death. The twisted wench had achieved her ultimate goal - to bring about the utter ruination of their legacy, the destruction of every last Cavalieri-Delgaard dynasty. All around them, the battle raged on with no end in sight, the air thick with the sights, sounds and smells of death. Killian's towering Lycan form, battered and bleeding from a thousand savage
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.201
The sight of everyone she loved fighting for their very existence against such overwhelming odds...it was a blade twisting in Meredith's heart.A searing agony lanced through her and she knew Enzo was injured. It was the effect of a mate bond whether fated or chosen. She stumbled, gasping for air as she clutched at her chest. The pain was almost beyond endurance… like a molten lance of agony that threatened to bring her to her knees. Tears burned in her eyes and her sight blurred as the true gravity of their situation hit her like a battering ram. Any wound inflicted by these abominations was fatal. Their claws, fangs, and very essence were imbued with a poison that corrupted all it touched.“Is there no way?” Her mind reeled like ashes on the wind as another spasm of anguish gripped her in its merciless talons. “Is there no way to save them all? To avert this future I've foreseen?”Her body trembled violently and her legs threatened to give out beneath her as she watched her love
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.200
Meredith drew on her newly regained powers and unleashed a torrent of energy at the beasts. The demons recoiled, shrieking in fury and anguish as magic seared their rotting flesh. The stench of burning meat filled the air, mingling with the miasma that clung to the creatures.Meredith maintained the onslaught, driving them back through the shattered doorway with relentless determination.Next, she sealed the room with an impenetrable barrier when the last of the abominations stumbled back into the hall, wailing in pain and wrath.She turned to face the trembling girl. "Stay here if you wish to live, child," Meredith instructed. "This madness needs to cease, and soon, before it swallows us all."Then she swept from the chamber and out into the chaos that had engulfed the estate's once-clean halls. The hallway ahead was a nightmare come true, with claw marks on the walls, bloody paintings, and the crushed bodies of fallen defenders strewn over the floor like discarded objects.Meredi
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.199
Meredith's heart thundered against her ribcage as she paced the length of Knox and Serena's bedroom suite. Her footfalls echoed with a hollow resonance that belied the emptiness gnawing at her very soul.The incessant rattling and banging against the thick oak door grew more insistent with each passing moment in a cacophony of destruction that served as a reminder of the hellish forces laying siege to their home. Beyond that rapidly crumbling barrier, chaos ruled in an unholy storm of violence that threatened to devour all Meredith held dear.Shrieks of unimaginable agony intermingled with roars. Each haunting wail, each guttural bellow, sent a fresh wave of anguish coursing through Meredith's immortal frame. How many had already fallen? The question burned in her mind like acid, eating away at what little composure she managed to maintain. How many brave warriors, loyal protectors of the estate had lost their lives under the claws of these abominations? The faces of those she had
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.198
"I'm the only woman alive now who can give you an heir, bear you children to carry on your bloodline..." Her words were a hushed whisper. "I am your rightful mate at long last. We were always meant to be together as one, you and I. Two halves of the same whole."She sniffled again as a fresh wave of tears spilled forth. "You should have accepted my request earlier, when I simply wanted to enjoy one night with my betrothed...to bask in the warmth of your embrace, as is my right as your—"Her words died on her lips when Knox suddenly closed the distance and wrapped his hand around her slender throat in a grip, wrenching her forward until her feet left the ground. Then he slammed her head back against the stone wall with brutal force to crack her skull. Sirona let out a pained, wheezing laugh as she stared up at him with wild, unfocused eyes. A thin trickle of crimson seeped from the corner of her mouth, tracing a macabre path down her chin."You...you wouldn't dare..." she choked out
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.197
Knox felt as if the entire world had collapsed around him, with a devastating blast of despair and despair threatening to break what little remained of his damaged psyche into a million shattered fragments. The sheer, all-consuming agony that had lanced through him was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before. It that it defied description… as though every nerve ending in his immortal body had been set ablaze and doused in acid simultaneously.The air became heavy and oppressive as the full impact of what had happened started to sink in, and the cold stone of the dungeon walls seemed to close in around him.Knox simply couldn't - no, he utterly refused with every fiber of his being to accept the cruel reality that his worst fears had been realized in the most brutal and decisive way imaginable. Serena. His beautiful, precious mate...the very radiant light in his darkness...she was gone. Why? The question kept coming back to him, echoing through the vast emptiness of his head, e
THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE CH.196
The huge double doors to the dungeon at one of Knox's estates slid open, revealing his towering figure. An oppressive air accompanied him, making it feel as if the very atmosphere held its breath in his presence. Dark tendrils like mist swirled around him, and his eyes that was always cold, blazed with a fury that made them appear even icier than usual. His mind was still reeling from the hateful words Serena had hurled at him in the car earlier, and in a moment of desperation, he had teleported himself here.Knox despised himself for losing control and slapping Serena in a moment of anger. He couldn’t forgive himself, especially when the thought crossed his mind that perhaps Sirona had found a way to bypass his restraint meant to keep her in check, and had gotten into Serena’s mind. More than half of him believed the venomous words Serena had spoken weren't hers but were instead Sirona’s doing. This belief drove him to the dungeon, determined to confirm his theory.His eyes lan
