............"Before I indulge in this sweet treat, I need to wash myself and refresh my mood," Darius murmured, his eyes lingering hungrily on her hot and enticing body, bound so helplessly on the bed.Feeling a surge of anticipation, he swiftly undressed, his movements fluid and confident, before disappearing into the marble-clad bathroom."Shhhh....!"The sound of running water filled the room as he prepared for what promised to be an exhilarating evening of twisted pleasure.Elara was lost in her dreams, unaware that she was already in the clutches of a hungry wolf eagerly anticipating his meal. Meanwhile, someone else was overcome with worry for her.In Aarav Veridian's home, He paced back and forth in the living room, his heart racing with concern. "Why isn't she replying to my messages? What's happening?" he muttered to himself, typing frantically but receiving no response.Astrid, seated on the couch, sensed her lord's distress and her curiosity piqued. "Who are you tryin

............"Today is the day, I would make you my bitch and devour your family whole in front of your eyes, Ahhhh...The look of despair in your eyes, I can't wait to see that...!" Darius mumbled with a crazy expression as he imagined the despair on Elara's face."Knock...knock...!"Just as he was about to indulge in those soft, inviting marshmallows, another knock on the door shattered his moment of fun."Ahhhh... I'm gonna kill the fucking bastard!" Darius's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at the door, his frustration boiling over.Grabbing a fork from the table, he stomped towards the door, his steps heavy with irritation."Click...who the hell...!" Darius flung open the door, ready to unleash his wrath on whoever dared to disturb him."Bamnnn...Offf..fff...Crash hhhh...!""Thud ...!"Darius felt like a speeding truck had collided with him; his body was thrown back, crashing into the table. The impact shattered it into pieces, sending Champagne cascading over his face like a b

............"Lord Moon, are you sure it's safe to provoke him?" The man in the car asked, his voice tinged with doubt and apprehension.Still reeling from the residual pressure in the room earlier, he couldn't shake the fear of facing the Lord Heir himself.His legs trembled involuntarily, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. Every hair on his body seemed to stand on end, sending prickles of warning throughout his entire being."No, we're not going to do anything stupid. We know we can't handle the consequences if the Lord Heir gets angry with us," Kieran Moonshroud replied firmly, his expression serious and his brow furrowed in deep thought.'What kind of mess did I get myself into? Damn those fucking greedy elders, they can all go die for all I care. Why did they drag me into this?' Kieran's mind raced with regret and frustration. If he had known the Lord Heir was already Awakened, he would have never accepted this mission in the first place. He cursed silently, feeling a bitt

............"Hey, don't lump me with those greedy fools from the Starcrest Family. It's just me here, serving my Lord!" Astrid's voice dripped with disdain as she spoke about her family, her eyes locked onto Phia's, challenging her silently."Heh, pretty confident there, Astrid Starcrest. But do you really think you can compete with me? Hmph!" Phia's smirk grew wider as she retorted, her eyes gleaming in response to Astrid's challenge.'But this is good,' Phia thought to herself, her mind racing with possibilities.'It seems Astrid is making her move independently, not taking orders from her family,' she concluded, maintaining her condescending smile as she observed Astrid's changing expression."We'll see. Anyway, I didn't call you here to argue, but to warn you!" Astrid's expression turned serious as she sat up straight.Astrid pulled out an object that looked like a small umbrella, resembling a toy."What... why are you setting up a barrier?" Phia's curiosity peaked as she recogn

............As the new morning dawned in Grace Neighborhood, the first light of the day peeked through the curtains, accompanied by the melodic chirping of birds.Their cheerful songs echoed through the quiet streets, gradually awakening the sleeping residents.Amidst the tranquil scene, a sudden outburst shattered the peaceful ambiance."Shut your damn bird, you old asshole!" a man's voice boomed across the neighborhood, cutting through the morning calm.In response, the elderly neighbor, unfazed by the disturbance, fired back with equal fervor. "Yeah, yeah, you fucking dork, useless bum!"Such exchanges had become a daily occurrence in the neighborhood, and the other residents had grown accustomed to the bickering that marked the start of each morning.Amidst the usual morning commotion, another household seemed to buzz with an unusual liveliness, catching the attention of their neighbors.It was the Veridian house, known for its quietness, now alive with activity."Hey, looks li
