Blood Thirst: God of War Your Turn Now!
The party atmosphere aboard the Primrose Hill had definitely been subdued. Now, the people on board either considered themselves extremely lucky that nobody had been shot by the gun… Or extremely unlucky that they had been invited for this party, which they had spent the whole year hoping and praying for. Duke Morgan seemed in slightly better health after Julius' assurance. Regaining control of himself, he immediately called for an urgent meeting in the boardroom. Minutes later, the Duke of Glamorgan was sitting at the head of the table, surrounded by his most trusted executives, with the addition of Julius. He sat with his arms crossed, his sharp eyes scanning the room.“Double the guards. Lock down all exits, and keep a strict watch on the guests. No one gets on, or leaves this ship without my approval.”Duke Morgan declared, his voice was sharp as steel although he was badly shaken from the inside.A young man, who had been watching the proceedings with slight nervousness, offer
Blood Thirst: God of War Hello there!
The third helicopter hovered just beyond the wreckage of the first two, its dark silhouette slicing through the night. The pilot hesitated for a moment, watching his companions fall into the sea… then abruptly retreated toward the open sky.Julius’s gaze locked onto the insignia gleaming under the cockpit window: an eye, embedded inside a bleeding rose bud. “The Tiger's eye… again…”His jaw tightened. They hadn’t even waited for their agent to return with intel, before sending reinforcements like a pack of hungry hyenas. Their methods were still the same: no hesitation or subtlety, just trying to overpower their target at once like wild animals. He had spoken the words softly, unaware of the fact that the Duke had come to stand right beside him. Duke Morgan’s breath hitched, his usually steady hands trembling as he clutched the rail.“The Tiger’s eye! Why are they after us?”His voice was rising, as he spoke to his guards,"They are a shadowy mercenary group… they will do anything
Blood Thirst: God of War Countdown
With great difficulty, the pilot managed to steady himself. His initial panic at watching his passenger be killed was slowly vanishing, replaced by pure hatred and volatile anger.There was no way out of this for him now… no backup, no second chance, but if he was going down, he wanted to take this arrogant bastard with him.His eyes darted toward the cabin door where Julius stood, completely calm, flipping the stolen knife between his fingers.Like he had no fear in this world and nothing could scare him for anything… not even death. The pilot clenched his fists. If he could just shove Julius out, he could regain control of the chopper and the matter would be in his hands again.He charged towards Julius, his desperation making him more reckless…like a cornered rabid dog. But Julius already saw it coming. He was anticipating this reaction, ready for the pilot’s next move… it was just that he wanted to see what he would do first. At the last second, he pivoted. The pilot’s momentum
Blood Thirst: God of War The Heir
By the time Julius returned from getting his minor cuts and bruises tended to, the ship was already on its way back to shore. The Duke had ordered an early return, cutting the voyage short by several hours. The events that had taken place within the span of one evening had shaken them till the core, and nobody was complaining about getting home early. Even though they were about to dock at a port on the outskirts of the city, around 4 a.m. the guests were just happy to be alive.Meanwhile, Duke Morgan sat in deep thought. Although he was only in his early fifties, this night had forced him to confront his own mortality. He had never considered that people were already prying on him like vultures to feast upon his wealth, while playing for his death.Duke Morgan looked shaken as he stood at the front of the deck, raising his hand for silence.“Before we part ways, I have a decision to share. Tonight has made one thing clear, life is very unpredictable… and time is not promised to a
Blood Thirst: God of War Sail Hotel
The door clicked open as Julius slid the key card in, allowing them entry into the luxurious suite. The space was elegant and spacious, with a modern aesthetic softened by warm lighting. Floor-to-ceiling windows gave them a breathtaking view of the harbor, where the city lights shimmered on the water’s surface even at this hour of the night. A little farther away, a suspension bridge stretched across the horizon, its glow casting long, golden reflections on the waves.Miley stepped in, kicking off her heels with a relieved sigh before picking up the phone on the bedside table. “I think I'll order some coffee from room service. Will you have some?”Julius considered it for a moment, then shrugged off his jacket and tossed it onto a chair. “Yeah. Why not?” Soon enough, her sweet voice fell into his ears. “Hi! Please send two coffees to room number 407, milk and creamer too. Yes, thank you." Miley placed the order, then got up to stretch, lifting her arms high above her head. The
Blood Thirst: God of War Zehra Royale
The morning light had filled the luxurious suite with its golden glow by the time Julius stirred, his sharp senses slowly awakening.He blinked, his gaze adjusting to the unfamiliar silhouette of someone sleeping beside him.Miley’s hair was a tousled mess of soft waves, her delicate face relaxed since she was in deep sleep. She lay on her side, breathing evenly, unaware of his eyes transfixed on her face. Julius sat up slightly, running a hand through his own disheveled hair. He hadn’t slept this deeply in years. His body had been trained to remain hyper-aware even in sleep, always ready to react to the slightest disturbance. But last night… she had managed to sneak past his defenses. A memory flashed into his mind- soft hands, a warm cloth with which she was wiping his face...Immediately, his gaze flickered to the nightstand, where his clothes from last night were neatly folded into a pile. His shoes were placed neatly beside the bed, even though he remembered falling asleep with
Blood Thirst: God of War Troublemaker!
"You seem to believe you have the right to decide who belongs here and who doesn’t. But unfortunately for you, the world doesn’t revolve around your delusions! As long as we are inside this store, I am a customer– and I'm just as respectable as any other paying customer.”Anna scoffed,"Yes! The word ‘pay’ makes all the difference! And we all know you are incapable of paying for even a paper bag from this store. The world doesn't revolve around me, but no matter which corner of the world you got to, beggars like you will always be inferior to people like me!”Her boyfriend smirked in agreement. "That’s just the truth of the world! Some people are born into respectable families, and all doors open for them… and people like you should just admire things from the outside."Anna laughed, making sure her voice was loud enough to be heard by the surrounding customers.“If window shopping is your new hobby, I would suggest you to find another place to stink up with your presence.”A round
Blood Thirst: God of War True Purpose!
Duke Morgan entered the store, and his powerful aura was enough to make the gathered crowd step back in awe of him. The Duke of Glamorgan was actually blessing them with his presence!Duke Morgan coldly scanned the store, trying to get an idea of what had happened. However, the moment the manager laid eyes on him, the look of arrogance on his face was wiped clean.He blinked rapidly, his mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air. He shot a panicked glance at Julius, then back at the Duke, his brain struggling to understand what had just happened. This low class man he had mocked and humiliated… he wasn't faking it? This man had actually called Duke Morgan, and the Duke had actually come there too…?For a split second, his face drained of color, but his instincts quickly kicked in. He plastered on a bright smile, the kind of polite expression he only saved for royalty and billionaires. He hurried forward, nearly tripping over himself in his eagerness.“Ah! Your Grace! Wh

Misunderstanding?
Julius heard the sudden crash from inside the house, sounding suspiciously like the sound of glass shattering and hurried footsteps. His muscles tensed, and he turned sharply, ready to bolt inside.His hand was hovering over the doorknob that led to the inner hall, fingers twitching with the urge to push through… but his legs stopped as he realized something. Maybe, what he was assuming to be an external threat was actually Miley? Maybe he had misjudged the situation. Maybe, Miley had indeed knocked something over, but not by accident. Maybe, she was trying to vent out her frustration with him… And if he barged in right now, it would only add fuel to the fire. He had hurt her, that much was clear. His rejection had been clear, and he might have become too cold while making it clear that there could never be anything between them. But it would end up being in her favor, right?She saw him as her protector… as someone she could trust with her safety, and he had taken advantage of
Apology
Author's POV:Miley was feeling like she was somehow descendent to the heavens and it was the taste of the elixir that she was experiencing and deep down in her heart she somehow knows very well that no matter what,she wanted this moment to stop forever. The time to pause right then and there and nobody could ever separate her from Julius.But it was her dream …one wishful dream that was very near to her heart, and in reality everyone knows that dreams are never meant to stay forever, in fact they are meant to be broken and just like that this dream of hers also broke, as Julius pulled off the kiss.But she was okay with it . because even though it was their first kiss, that doesn't mean that it was going to be their last kiss, in fact it was just the start of her dream becoming reality.Thinking this she was about to say something, completely unaware of the storm that was about to crash her entire city of dreams along with the most beautiful memory of her reality, as before she could
Longing
“Those enemies are closer than we think.”The words had shaken Miley deeply, and she suddenly understood why Julius had gone through the effort of preparing her a drink first. She took a sip of the whiskey– the burn was sharp but pleasant, taking away some of her nervousness.Julius continued, “After our little run-in at the jewelry store, I knew we were dealing with professionals, not just hired thugs. And then came the assassin ls at the mall… she confessed that someone had put a bounty on the Duke’s head, and the desperate actions of her comrades only proved her right.”Miley suppressed a shudder, recalling how effortlessly Julius had broken the assassin’s will to resist.“The organization behind these attacks at the Zehra Royale was the Red Albatross. But it's not the only one, nor do they operate alone. They are just a piece of a much bigger game.”Miley’s grip on her glass tightened as she gulped the whiskey down, trying to suppress her panic. Julius’s eyes darkened. “There
Long Story!
The Sail Hotel’s grand ballroom was bathed in golden lights– the grand closing gala of the Morgan family’s annual business summit had drawn the most powerful figures in attendance. The Duke of Glamorgan had chosen this as the venue for the closing gala of the business summit, determined to make a statement to his enemies that he would not be forced to hide just because of their attacks. The first day’s opening gala had been tainted by the chaos of the subsequent attacks, and as a result, the second day’s bids had been called off. But tonight, the Duke was determined to end the summit with a display of grandeur, power, and resilience.But of course, the security was tighter than ever. Armed guards patrolled every corner, surveillance cameras scanned every inch of the venue, and guests were only allowed entry after rigorous checks. The elite of the business world were gathered to witness the Summit’s grand conclusion, and among the guests, Julius and Miley made their striking entranc
Spy!
The moment Julius and Miley were waiting for came faster than expected. A few seconds after Julius asked her to call Duke Morgan for backup, there was a faint but unmistakable rustling in the bushes outside. Julius' sharp gaze darted towards the right, and Miley followed his lead, picking up the subtle creak of a shifting weight on the perimeter wall of the Hammonds’ estate. And before she could ask him what he was planning to do next, Julius moved at the speed of lightning. Miley barely had time to react before he shot up and started striding toward the door. His movements were quick but controlled, like a tiger silently closing in on its prey. He didn’t even bother reaching for a weapon before slipping outside without making a single sound, following the faint sounds of the spy’s movements. Miley played her part well, pretending to call the Duke and announcing that she hadn't received any answer from her yet. After confirming that his targets were caught in a tough spot
Hammonds Mansion
Early the next morning, Julius and Miley left the Sail Hotel for the Hammonds family mansion, even though Duke Morgan was still worried about their safety and requested them to stay at the hotel– at least until the Morgan family Summit officially ended. And the sun had already covered one third of its path by the time they reached the city. Julius sat in the driver’s seat, one hand casually resting on the wheel, his sharp gaze flicking between the road and the rearview mirror. As they turned the corner to the mansion, Miley stole a glance in his direction before clearing her throat. “So… what now?” She asked, her voice hesitant. “Where are you planning to go from here?” Although Julius hadn't shared much about her past, Miley knew that his ex-wife had kicked him out of their home, and she wasn't sure where he was going to go next. Julius didn’t answer right away, and instead kept his gaze locked ahead, smoothly pulling into the long driveway of her estate. Miley, assuming th
Red Albatross
As soon as they stepped into the Sail Hotel, Duke Morgan wasted no time. He turned to Julius and Miley, his expression grave,“Come with me. Just the two of you.”Julius and Miley exchanged glances before following him down a corridor. The Duke led them to a secluded, soundproof room, his entire body was tense with urgency. Once inside, he shut the door firmly and turned to face them.“After what has been happening in the last two says, I don’t trust anyone, not even the staff at the hotel.”He admitted, rubbing a hand over his face. “Except you two, and my personal guards. If we had more than two guards with us today, Julius wouldn’t have been outnumbered over there! You may have beaten the odds today, but we may not always be so lucky.”Julius remained silent, standing with his arms crossed, his expression unreadable. Miley, on the other hand, frowned slightly, understanding the Duke’s concern.The Duke continued, his voice low but firm. “From now on, I’m enhancing security—not jus
Ambush!
A bounty of $100 Million over the Duke's head, placed by an unnamed person. That was all Anna had blurted out before dissolving into a puddle of sobs, blabbering incoherently. She was of no use to him, and it was better off to get rid of these assassins and leave. But before Julius could do anything, another gunshot rang out behind them. The sharp crack of the bullet sent another wave of panic through the crowd, who screamed while scattering off in every direction.Julius’s eyes flickered in the direction that shot had been fired from. Two figures had emerged from the second floor of the shopping mall, standing behind the railing. They were dressed casually, blending in with the shoppers, but the way they were holding their firearms revealed their true identities.They were Anna's accomplices…Julius barely had time to react before another shot was fired. He ran, holding Duke Morgan by the shoulders and pulling him off to the side, shoving him behind a display case. The bullet aime
Assassins
Julius had been prepared for this outcome the moment he stepped into the Zehra Royale Malll. He knew that powerful people like Duke Morgan naturally had enemies lurking in the shadows, and since their attempts to kill them during the Summit had failed, they would probably try and finish two powerful targets as soon as possible. The manager was tightly clutching the hilt of his dagger in his right hand, while the crowd that had gathered near the store started to scream and cry in panic, trying to get away from the range of the gun as fast as they could. Meanwhile, the manager tried to pull his hand and stab the dagger, but Julius’ reflexes were much faster. While his arm was still in the air, Julius squeezed the manager's neck and pulled his dagger- wielding arm back, dislocating his shoulder from the socket and sending him staggering backward. However, in his desperation, the man clung tightly to Duke Morgan’s leg. The sudden force caused the Duke to lose his balance, and he fe
