All Chapters of More Than A Man: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“PENN!” Rima shouted after Penn when she saw the scene and watched the horses jump over a slab but the carriage crashed against it, it was total chaos. Rima's heart jumped from her chest to her throat when Penn rushed passed her and now that she saw the wreck in front of her, it was in her stomach. She would never forgive herself if Penn was hurt. Like why on earth did Penn just moved to the front of a fast carriage.Like what was he thinking?What was she thinking for telling him that she wished he could jump in front of a carriage, the reality was much frightening than the pain of his rejection, right now she just wish that he is alive because if anything happens to him, she will never forgive herself. She hurried to the crash, still shouting Penn and he answered behind her. “I am here Rima, calm down.” Penn said wheezing as if his chest or throat was hurt. Rima twirled around and hurried to his side where he was on his knees with a hand to his chest.&n

“No Penn, I am not going to the Capital. What is wrong with you? Telling me that I will fix up is making me firmer in my decision not to go.” Stanley tells Penn who sighed.Well that had worked for Rima.“Why are you scared of the emperor?” Penn asked as Stanley's expression went even darker. “I am not afraid of the king.” Penn just raised an eyebrow in perfect distrust. It was something which she had perfected that passed across her message and feelings without her saying a word. “Maybe I am.” Stanley corrected.“You were a baby then, defenseless, I think that you can take him now if you put your mind to it. Don’t you want to make him pay for what he did to your father?”, Penn asked.“I do but I don’t see how me getting all fancied up and dancing to his tone in his party will turn into me making him pay.”“That is just the start of what we going

“I cannot believe that you would try something like this.” Penn growled at a smiling Cain as Stanley quickly stood in front of Penn, holding Penn back as she raged. She had gotten to Vallas just in time to see one of the women who was with Vallas, try to stab him in his chest. And the crazy guy with a knife wound was still toying with the woman who tried to kill him!“Penn.” Vallas called from his seat which was provided for him in a room close to the ballroom but empty apart from the king, his son, Vallas party, the failed assassin and the guards. A physician was there too, trying to clean him up with Rima giving orders in harsh tone. “He did this.” Penn shouted. “Temper.” Vallas ordered as Penn's mouth snapped close. “We don’t do this in public.” Vallas said. “We don’t accuse or punish those who we are not sure of their wrongs.”Penn visibly relaxed as she realized what Vallas was trying to pass across. “You dare accu

Penn rolled her eyes when the prince got down from the carriage… the fifth carriage out of the seventh that stopped in front of Lord Vallas home in the capital where Penn was currently staying which also doubled as the Resistance hideout too. The Prince was only meant to stay for a few days but he came like he planned to fully move in with Penn. Penn held back her sigh and kept her face blank so that the prince would not see how much he infuriates her. He already knew but Penn refused to give him that joy. Yes, Joy!The Prince was happy anytime he could successfully make Penn snap or act out of control and Penn has been growing to hate him for that. “Release your jaw Penn.” Stanley said besides Penn and Penn jerked in surprise and looked at Stanley to see Stanley staring at the prince.“Was it obvious?” Penn asked as Stanley cracked a smile which lessened the effect of the severe look he had on his face. Stanley had been a changed

“What do you mean that my family was attacked and I cannot go home, it will take me less than two hours to reach the palace with a good horse?” Prince Chandler asked.“The king and the Queen mother specifically instructed me to tell you that you are ordered to remain here and to leave under no circumstances.” The herald said as Chandler's face even went darker than it already was. The herald gulped loudly, never had he seen the prince in this kind of rage.Then again, never had the palace, the empire symbol of power, being brutally attacked the way it was yesterday night. “You are to remain here…” The herald started again only for the prince to clear the table of the study he was given in a display of anger.“I should be home with them.” Chandler stated firmly as the herald shook his head. “I should be home with my family if my younger sister was almost kidnapped. I should be with my father, raging and doing everything in my power to find the bastard wh
