2025-02-26 20:42:55Julius was shocked after hearing the name, Kenneth Colton!? How the hell did that happen?
There was something fishy, he quickly scanned everyone's faces to see any sign of surprise, but nobody was going to say anything. To them, Kenneth was a hero! A kind hearted man who was ready to do anything for anyone, while Julius was just a loser. A wounded mule wasn't even good for carrying weight. But unlike everyone else, Mr. Gracia had never trusted Kenneth even for a second! However, before he could have objected, Quella sneered. “What do you think you are looking at, you mutt? Do you really think that my Grandfather would never come back to his senses and you could keep fooling him forever! No! After Kenneth donated his blood to him, he must have realized the difference between a fox and a lion!” “What the hell are you saying Quella? How can grandpa change his Will inside the operation theatre? And you're forgetting one thing: he is not Mr. Garcia’s grandson-in-law! I am! Because legally, we are still married–” "For now.” Quella said calmly, and Julius looked at her. "We are legally married for now, but not for too long. Because I want to get married to Kenneth, which will officially make him a part of this family.” Saying this, she stepped forward, holding out a stack of papers. “I need you to sign these papers. Our marriage was just a farce for the world, and now that Grandpa is gone, there is no reason to continue it anymore. I want a divorce, I have every right to choose a better life for myself. And of course, you are no longer part of this family.” There was a brief moment of silence, before celebratory cheers filled the hall. "Finally! Thank Goodness!" "This dead weight should’ve been gone ages ago, but it's never too late!” "The old man Nolan was just confused when he kept him around. I'm happy that at last, he came to know the true colours of this crow, whom he considered a swan." Kenneth looped his arm around Quella’s waist, pulling her against himself as he smirked. "Julius, take my advice and don’t drag this matter unnecessarily. Be a man for once in your life, and walk away." On hearing Quella's offer, Julius stared at the stack of papers that Quella had thrown on his face. Without a word, Julius placed the papers back onto the table, turned around, and walked out of the funeral. "There he goes, tucking his tail between his legs!!” “Thank God! There is a silver lining in every cloud, and the old man's death finally got us rid of that leech." “You are really brave Mrs. Colton, we always knew Kenneth is the right match for our Quella! Thank you for fighting on our behalf and casting that bat out of our family.” “Yes! You are right, otherwise I was afraid that a pig like him is not going to leave us so easily. And look, how he is walking without even taking the money she was generously offering him! I can bet he is going to regret the moment he is going to step outside this hall.” “I bet he’s going to go cry in some alley. Maybe we'll find him begging on the streets.” Laughter rang through the hall, but Julius didn't bother to reply at all. Outside, the rain had begun to pour heavily, but he walked out, without caring about the cold droplets soaking his hospital gown. Needing something to calm himself, he reaches into his pocket. He pulled out a cigarette, and lit it with his left hand, as he dialed a number with the other. "Tell them," he said, voice low but clear. "The God of War is coming out of retirement. And yes! Make this effective immediately, the Garcia family’s protection is revoked. Let them fend for themselves, I don't have any association with them anymore." "Understood, Your Majesty." Julius cut the call, exhaling a cloud of smoke. He had considered them his own family, and carried that relationship with sincerity. But they were never worthy of it, as they only wanted to take from him. And now, he had nothing left to give… except his revenge. A thought arrived in his head, this was when a gentle hand touched his shoulder, pulling him out of his thoughts. He turned his head slightly, and found a woman standing there, holding an umbrella over him. She leaned into the shade of the umbrella, whispering in awe; “I finally found you, Julius.”

Blood Thirst: God of War I found you
"I finally found you, Julius.”His sharp gaze landed on the woman who had spoken, still holding her umbrella over his head. Her smooth tan skin was glowing and her long, dark hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail. A brown trench coat was draped over a silk dress, far too elegant for this part of town. Clearly, she didn’t belong here. “Excuse me, but how—” This was the moment he met her black eyes, and his question shifted instantly. “Have we met before?” The woman’s lips lifted into a radiant smile. “I knew you would recognize me! I don't know if you still remember it, but you saved me on the battlefield once. I never got to hear your name, but I heard them call you the Julius.” Julius stared at her, as his mind tried to sift through the memories. “I’ve been searching for you for seven years. I know it’s a long shot, but I wanted to find you, and repay the kindness you showed me. Will you come with me?” Julius let out a chuckle, mocking himself while gesturing at

The air in the banquet hall shifted the moment the heavy oak doors slammed open. A group of tall, muscular men strode in, their presence like a pack of hyenas barging into a lion’s den… except they clearly thought they were the lions here. The guests stiffened, instinctively pulling back as the uninvited newcomers spread out, their smirks full of arrogance and malice. Miley’s father rose to his feet, his face paling. "Who are you people? What do you want?" The man in front chuckled, cracking his knuckles. "Relax, old man. No need to be so jumpy." His voice was as slick as oil, his grin revealing gold-capped teeth. "We're just here to collect what’s ours." He gestured lazily to his men, all dressed in black, their beady eyes scanning the room like vultures sizing up a dying carcass. "Y-You’re from the ‘Eighteen Street’ gang?" Miley’s mother gasped, clutching her husband's sleeve. "Sharp lady," the leader smirked. "Since you already know who we are, let's not waste time. Your
Blood Thirst: God of War The Blood Eagle
The gang leader was sprawled across the table, coughing and gasping, struggling to get some air. Julius had loosened his grip, but hadn't let go completely. The leader's men stood frozen in their places, their eyes jumping like ping-pong balls between their boss, and the man who had single-handedly brought them to their knees, without even breaking a sweat. The leader's trembling hand clutched at the edge of the table as he tried to regain his composure. The terror in his eyes was visible, despite all his attempts. “Who the hell are you?” he rasped. Julius didn’t answer immediately. He didn’t need to. Instead, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small metallic ring, and placed it on the table in front of the gang leader. The moment the leader's eyes landed on it, all color drained from his face. His body stiffened as if he had been turned to stone. His lips parted, but no words came out. Instead, his breathing grew rapid and uneven, like a cornered rat realizing the c
Blood Thirst: God of War The Invitation
Both Julius and Quella stood there in silence for a few moments, the tension was thick enough to choke on. They had found a relatively deserted corner of the mansion, out of everyone's sight and earshot. Quella was standing with her arms crossed; with the same, cold arrogance she always carried around him. So she got straight to the point. “Where’s the signed divorce agreement, I know you have already received it, so don't try to lie.” Julius pulled a folded document from his coat pocket and handed it to her without any hesitation. Quella looked at his face to spot any reluctance or sadness, but she didn't find any trace of emotion there. He was behaving like this was a business transaction, and nothing more.Shaking her head to get rid of any nagging doubts, she unfolded the document, and found his neat signature at the bottom. Her lips lifted into a smirk. “Get out of my sight. You will pay for your betrayal, but not now.”His voice was so calm that Quella felt momentarily
Blood Thirst: God of War The Primrose Hill
The Primrose Hill was floating majestically at the port, shining in the soft glow of twinkling lights and the golden hues of the sunset. The crest of the Morgan family was displayed on the bow of the 150-meter-long luxury yacht. The Morgan family was like the royals among the elites, and tonight, this floating palace would host the most exclusive summit of the year. Guests were already gathering at the stern, where the security guards were checking the invitations before allowing them to get on board. But something else fascinated the attention of the guests, who were still waiting for their turn to board. At the bow of the yacht, a special boarding gate had been arranged. Unlike the regular entry, a red carpet was rolled out to welcome the mysterious guests– but right now, it was completely empty. “Honey, let's go take a look." Kenneth nudged Quella, as they were still quite far behind in the line. They walked over, and he looked at the exclusive entrance with longing eyes. “I
Blood Thirst: God of War Dancing Queen
For this night, the Primrose Hill was like a floating world of its own, on the sea where only the most elite of the elite were gathered. And all the limelight was on the Morgan family. Kenneth and Quella had a clear mission as they moved through the grand ballroom with careful eyes: to find the Duke of Glamorgan. The head of the Morgan family. When they only found guests standing in every corner, Quella spoke in a slightly irritated way. “Why can't we just enjoy ourselves first? I'm already tense about the presentation, can't we at least eat something first, or at least mingle with our friends instead of looking for the rich old man?”Kenneth tugged at her arm, a little harsher than he was used to. "Hush! Mind your words, Quella! There are many ears around… and most importantly, he isn't any random rich old man. He is the richest man in the country, but that's not all! His lineage traces back to a hereditary duke, making him actual royalty.”Quella took a deep breath, she kn
Blood Thirst: God of War The Beginning of Revenge
The banquet was still in full swing, but all the celebratory vibes in the world couldn't save the Garcias now. Kenneth and Quella had finally completed the first step of their mission and found the Duke. And right now, they stood with their heads bowed, trembling before Duke Morgan as their pride was shattered to bits. “P-Please, your Grace! We don’t understand anything… why did you terminate your cooperation with the Garcia family all of a sudden?” Kenneth stammered, his usual arrogance gone. Quella lowered her head in submission. “My grandfather has recently passed away, your Grace. But I assure you, you will never face any complaints from our side. We have always been loyal to you, and I remember all your favors on us. Please reconsider, your Grace…” Her words trailed off, since Duke Morgan had already moved towards the guests standing on the other side of the room. He didn't even look at them once, as if they were completely beneath his notice. But they refused to g
Blood Thirst: God of War The Assassin
Duke Morgan had just walked out on the deck– no matter how disgusted he felt by the presence of that desperate couple, he wanted to witness Julius' punishment for them. He saw Quella running away towards the back of the deck like a cockroach who had just been sprayed by pesticide, and commanded one of his guards. “Huh! Just take that girl on a cutter boat, and dump her on the shore. And yes! Make sure I don't see their faces ever again.”The Duke adjusted his sleeves, as if he had just thrown away a disgusting piece of garbage. And then, lifted a flute of champagne. “Well, now that all the unnecessary people are out of the way…”His cold demeanor morphed into a regal smile. “Let’s make sure to enjoy this evening to the most!! We are looking forward to a wonderful partnership with the Hammonds, and tonight, we will celebrate in their honor!”The guests cheered, as the tension from earlier was forgotten in an instant.“Tomorrow afternoon, a panel will review the tenders for the proj

Marry you
After the chaos at the summit, Julius knew things couldn't return to normal so easily. That night, he arranged to meet a few of his most trusted military buddies at a low-profile bar outside the city.Officially, the meeting was to catch up over beers — but the real reason ran deeper. Julius needed their input on the Home Front Horizon project, to make sure every possible security risk had been anticipated. More importantly, he needed fresh intel.The group who had ambushed the summit hadn't claimed allegiance to any known faction. They moved like trained operatives but struck with a kind of brutal recklessness that was worrying. Whoever they were, they weren't amateurs. And Julius wanted to know exactly who he was going to war with.Hours later, after downing too many bottles and trading battle-scarred jokes, the men finally insisted on dropping him back at the estate. They were half-drunk, loud, and yet there was a current of unspoken understanding between them — a brotherhood born
Training
The car hummed softly along the winding country road, the estate drawing closer with every turn. Inside the car, finally the atmosphere was warm, almost comfortable, a stark contrast to the chaos they'd left behind at Lawrence Hall.Finally they have managed to leave the tension, fear, anxiety, disgust and fear behind them and move forward with relief that they were safe.Or else Julius would never have been able to forgive himself, if anything would have happened to Miley, on the other hand Miley was slowly getting relaxed with the assurance that she was with Julius and till she is with him, nothing is going to happen to her, he won't let anything happen to her.This was when Julius, suddenly handed her a thermos, saying;Here! Take this and try to drink it slowly, you will feel a little better, I know what happened earlier was something neither of us are going to forget till our lives, but I still want you to try to forget about everything and just focus on the part that you are saf
Blame
Outside the conference center, the early evening air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of rain.Miley hugged herself against the breeze as they waited near Julius's car. His security team moved efficiently around them, coordinating, reporting, clearing the path for them to leave. Yet Julius stayed by Miley’s side, not more than a step away, his posture protective without being overbearing."You cold?" he asked casually, glancing at her from the corner of his eye."A little," Miley admitted.Without a word, Julius shrugged off his jacket and draped it around her shoulders. The fabric was still warm from his body, and it swallowed her frame, but she didn’t have it in her to protest. She looked up at him, surprised by the simple gesture."Thanks," she said quietly.He grunted a little, stuffing his hands into his trouser pockets. "You can thank me later. Preferably after you stop looking like you’re about to collapse."Miley chuckled under her breath. "I’m fine, really.""You always sa
Fate!
The stunned silence broke when one of the attackers roared in anger and charged at Miley, his palm raised to strike her across the face, with the complete intention of slapping her hard, for the daring she was showing in front of them.Miley instinctively flinched, her arms raising to shield herself.But the slap never landed, and how could it, because in the blink of an eye, Julius was there. His hand shot out, catching the attacker’s wrist mid air with a bone-jarring grip. His eyes blazed with fury as he tightened his hold, forcing the man to his knees with a sickening crack."You think you can touch her even in your wildest dreams?" Julius growled, his voice low and lethal.“ Do you really think that no one is standing behind her, do you really assume that she is all alone by herself, or do you really think you could imagine hurting her, without even knowing who actually holds her back?”With a sharp flick, he threw the man’s arm back, sending him crashing into a line of chairs. T
Iron rod
The Lawrence Hall, which was supposed to be buzzing with celebration and ideas, had turned into a warzone. The grand banners of the Female Entrepreneurs’ Summit fluttered weakly under the whirring air vents, their messages of empowerment and progress now bitterly ironic. Armed men patrolled the marbled floor like vultures circling prey, while nearly forty women, all bound and gathered like cattle, sat along the marbled floor under the barrels of loaded rifles. The air was thick with fear, and the scent of sweat and expensive perfume mingled into something nauseating.Every male security guard and staff member had been dealt with already, and now lay unconscious by the exits and staircases. The attackers; twenty-five masked men, all armed and speaking in clipped, foreign accents, had taken full control.Their movements were sharp, mechanical, and practiced. This wasn’t random, or a coincidence. The ambush was planned from start to finish. That much was clear, but their agenda was
Stand by!
Since the moment Miley had kissed Julius on his birthday, something had shifted—and not just between them. The tension that once simmered beneath the surface had burst open like a dam, and now, in its place, there was complete silence. A week had gone by, and Miley had skillfully managed to dodge every attempt made by Julius to talk, meet, or even casually bump into her. At first, Julius tried to be patient. He reasoned with himself that she might need space—that maybe the kiss had been impulsive and she regretted it. But by the seventh morning, he was done playing the fool. So when he saw her strolling into the hallway in her satin night suit, arms raised in a lazy stretch, her hair tousled from sleep and a faint yawn escaping her lips, he decided it was time. She froze mid-step when she noticed him standing there, arms crossed, leaning casually against the wall. Julius didn’t say anything at first. He just stared. Miley blinked at him and frowned, trying to walk past him, but aft
Happy Birthday
Julius had barely taken a moment to catch his breath, when the sound of footsteps alerted him to the presence of someone. However, before he could get panicked and act, he realized it wasn't more goons, but just the guests who had gathered around the corridor after hearing the commotion, their murmurs rising with every second. The sight of two groaning men on the floor and Julius standing over them like a storm personified was something none of them had expected at a birthday party.Someone had just given Miley a hand; and now, she was standing to the side, visibly shaken, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as if trying to hold herself together. Her hair was disheveled, her cheek slightly bruised where she had fallen earlier. Julius turned toward her, concern written all over his face, but before he could reach her, Laura’s shrill voice cut through the tension.“And who exactly is this girl? And what sort of company does she keep, I wonder? Any decent woman would know better t
Unreasonable
“You’ve always been uneducated, classless, and an idiot!” Quella shrieked, her voice cracking with fury. “But you’ve truly lost all shame today, Julius!”The ballroom had quieted once more, heads turning toward the escalating chaos between Julius and his former wife. Laura was still on the floor, wincing and trying to gather herself, while Quella stood firm—her voice the only thing piercing the heavy air.“How dare you push my mother-in-law like that!” she screamed, flinging a hand toward Laura. “Has that girl really done some kind of magic on you? You’ve completely lost your consciousness!”Julius didn’t even look at her. His eyes scanned the crowd, desperate and unfocused. He had only one thought now—Where is Miley?“Oh, I see what this is!” Quella sneered. “That’s why you’re after Kenneth, isn’t it? You think that if you send him to jail, I’ll come crying into your arms?”She laughed, bitter and mocking. “Grow up, Julius! Who even thinks like that? Teenagers? Children? You really t
Insane!
The slap echoed through the grand ballroom like a gunshot.Quella staggered back, clutching her cheek. Her eyes widened in disbelief, then turned red as tears welled up in them, stinging her eyes. Her face stung from the unexpected blow, the sharp imprint of fingers still burning across her skin. First came the shock of being hit, then the pain of the impact. And finally, hot, white anger.“What the hell? Who are you?” she shrieked, voice shrill with fury. “Fucking slut! Do you even know who I am? Thriving on my leftovers, really?”Miley didn’t flinch. Her hand was steady, her posture poised. But the glint in her eye was cold steel. A smirk curled her lips as she said, “I think Mrs. Sorren gave the perfect description of you—lying, cheating, a whore who isn’t worth anyone’s trust. But let’s leave that aside for now.”She leaned in, voice cutting like ice. “Do you know who I am?”Quella scoffed, still clutching her face. “Yeah, yeah,” she spat, rolling her eyes. “You must be flexing y
