My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor A New Path
Cedric made his way to the palace to see his nephew. He heard that the culprit had been apprehended and the heir returned. He was heading there for two reasons. First, was to demand an apology from the Emperor for torturing him despite his innocence and second, was to see the little thing who made him suffer.To his surprise, when he got to the palace, the guards sealed the gates, refusing to let him in. “What is going on here? I am here to see the Emperor so let me in!” He demanded. “I'm sorry but the Emperor instructed that no visitors are welcomed in the palace for now. Only the Lords are permitted to go in so if you have a problem, kindly meet with any of them,” one of them informed him. Cedric couldn't believe what he has just heard. This had to be the height of insult. Who exactly did Styles think he was?“Are you stupid? Do you not know who I am? I am the emperor's uncle and a Lord so open up and let me in before you lose your heads,” Cedric snapped. “The Emperor does not

“Isn't she beautiful?” Ivory asked, gazing lovingly at the sleeping baby. Styles rubbed her shoulders gently. “Of course, darling. She is just as beautiful as her mother which is why you need to go to catch some sleep. You need a proper rest after all the stress she's put you through today,” Styles softly spoke. Ivory shook her head, “But I'm not tired. I will just watch her sleep for a little while.”“Honey, you haven't slept a wink since she disappeared. I thought your body would be more willing to relax now that she is safe,” Styles said to her. “Safe? I don't think so. It was in this very palace that she was taken from us, right under our noses. What are the chances that it won't happen again? I won't make the same mistake twice,” Ivory told him. He understood immediately where the problem was coming from. The PTSD from her baby's disappearance had a strong hold on her mind. Once again, he felt guilty that he couldn't prevent it from happening but he was going to fix all that

The ice-cold water forced her back to consciousness. “How long were you planning to run, Elen? Did you think you could escape after all you've done?” Ragi asked.“I… I don't have a baby. I swear I was just…”“Running for fun?” He interrupted. “I know you don't have the baby, I can see that. But the fact remains that you took her and went ahead to lose her…”“I didn't lose her. I got attacked by cannibals. We were only saved because you attacked,” Elena injected. “And you ran without the child?” He asked coldly and she swallowed. This conversation was not going in her favor. “I didn't take her with me because I knew you would find her. I thought maybe if you did, it wouldn't matter if you found me or not,” she responded lowly, keeping her eyes on the ground.“That is a very twisted logic,” Darell commented. “Take her back to the palace and lock her up. The Emperor will decide what to do with her,” Ragi ordered.Elena didn't struggle or beg. It was useless when her fate wasn't to be

“Are you sure he knows what he's doing?” Archie whispered to Cedric as the artist worked on replicating the seal on the scrolls. “He's been taking hours.” “Hours to make it perfect, Archie. You know he needs to get every detail right because any slight mistake will give this scheme away,” Cedric responded. Archie eyed the artist skeptically before going over to see what he was doing. “He's still on the first scroll! I told you this man is a con. He doesn't know what he's doing,” he huffed and the artist looked up “I beg your pardon, sir. You shouldn't call me names or belittle me because of the time taken to complete my work, except you want to complete the work yourself,” the man spoke. “He has an attitude too,” Archie mumbled, walking away from him. Cedric chuckled at the exchange.“I told you to calm down, Archie. He knows exactly what he is doing.”“Fine, if you say so. He should hurry up though. We don't have all day. It's been almost three hours and he is still struggling t
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Retaliation
“Get to work!” The whip hit her back and she let out a shrill scream. She could barely move as the open injuries stung. “I said get to work!” The second lash had her moving like a worm bathed in salt. Earlier, she thought there was no way death could be better than torture, but with the way things were going, she was soon going to eat her words. Mona forced herself off the ground, just in time to avoid the third lash. She struggled to lift the sacks of ash.The guards did not allow her to carry one at the time so she had to move all five sacks at once. Each time she dropped it, she was rewarded with a whip. Gritting her teeth as she lifted the sacks, she dragged her feet in the direction of the kitchen. She prayed to the gods that she could get there before it dropped again.Her palms were already peeling up and it hurt a lot because of the friction. The guards didn't consider her plight. They just wanted her to do the work assigned to her. Finally, she reached the kitchen and dr

“I know you,” was the first thing Mona blurted when she saw him. “I know you do. What are you doing hiding here? You'll be in a lot of trouble if they find you here,” Daniel told her. Mona had been so exhausted from the day's torture so she resorted to hiding out for a few days. Of course, they panicked that she had escaped and sent men into town looking for her. But that didn't bother her. Even though the punishment would be tripled once she was found, her body really needed this rest to heal.So she hid in the last place they would ever check. Their quarters. It was disgusting hearing all the dirty talks they had and irritating living under the bed of a men's room but it was safe. Except someone was looking for his shoe of course and she had to find it as quickly as possible before they would resort to looking under the beds. Fortunately, the spot she had chosen was the cleanest section in the room. Whomever owned the bed was definitely too organised for a man and she was tha

“An increase in tax? When did that happen?” Styles asked Ragi as they rode back towards the palace.“I am just as surprised as you are. I remember when that bill was presented, it was automatically trashed out. How then was it approved and circulated?” Ragi mused. “I don't have the answer to that question either. The whole thing is just surprising. I feel like someone is messing with me and it's not funny. Do they know the consequences of what they have done?” Styles related. “I think so. This was only a peaceful protest. We have no idea what tomorrow might bring if we do not resolve this immediately. Those documents do not look forged in any way,” Ragi said. Styles shook his head and focused his gaze ahead. Never did he anticipate that his life as Emperor would be so complicated?“Your majesty, you don't have to worry. We have sorted it out already with the people. All that is left is to ensure it doesn't repeat itself,” Ragi tried to ease his pressure but Styles didn't share the
My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor Logical plans
“Mona escaped? That stupid child with little to no brains? How was she able to pull such a stunt while I was still struggling to get away from the watchful eyes of these punks?” Elena pondered as she worked on the floors. They suddenly increased the number of guards around her as if the ones around her were not suffocating enough. She didn't understand why until today. The servants were gossiping and she just happened to walk by when she heard them talk about her daughter's escape. She never thought the girl had it in her. She always needed someone to push her to do something. This made Elena livid. She knew Mona wouldn't come back for her. Not after everything. So she was stuck here with the consequences of her foolishness. She scrubbed the floor harder, hoping to scrub away her frustration but it remained the same. She felt so suffocated and these men didn't care that they were invading her personal space. They followed her everywhere, even when she wanted to relieve herself.

“You already cast this spell on me. Am I supposed to stay awake forever, Darell?” Ivory was fed up. “Please calm down, your highness,” Darell said softly. “How many more of these temporary spells do I need? You already did the first one and it wore off in three days or less and now this?” Ivory exasperated.“We are trying to buy time to find a solution, Your Majesty. Please understand,” Darell explained calmly. She couldn't find it in her to get pissed at Ivory. She couldn't even imagine what the woman was going through now. “You know what, I'm done with this!” Ivory growled and stormed out of the room. “Where is she going? Somebody stop her!” Darell yelled but the glares that Ivory threw their way made them stand back. They resorted to informing the Emperor as he was the only one who could calm her down. Ivory got to the kitchen and matched to the cabinets where the knives were kept. The maids gasped as she grabbed the butcher knife. Darell rushed into the kitchen at that mom

Awake
Darell went to the execution ground with a couple of guards. Roy was still unconscious and it was perfect for her operation. She set her materials in place and started the ritual. Soon enough, she invaded Roy's mind but just before she could extract the information she was looking for, his eyes flew open and a cruel laugh escaped him.“What do you think you are doing?” He asked her. “Do you think I will keep such confidential information in my head?” “What did the Empress do to you?” Darell demanded.“Nothing,” he shrugged. “Was it the Emperor then?” She asked. “He doesn't need to do anything for me to punish him. I love the feeling of crushing the weak,” he laughed. Darell knew this man was a maniac.She knocked him back unconscious with an enchanted powder and began the ritual once again. Although he made it clear that the answers were not in his mind, she didn't want to relent. Even if she didn't get a direct answer, she was sure she would find a clue on how to stop it. She

The first hit had Daniel flying across the street. He let out a loud groan as his back connected with the tree. This wasn't the regular fight he was used to but he knew exactly what he was getting himself into when he challenged Roy.He forced himself up the ground and charged towards Roy but the man easily swung him to the side. “You know when you challenged me, I actually thought you had some insight on how to fight me spiritually,” he huffed, “but engaging you has proven to be a waste of time!”“Which is why you should take me on!” A feminine voice challenged from behind. Roy already recognized the voice as Darell's.He whipped his head around, surprised that she could get the chains off her. He'd always known there was something special about this woman and every single minute he spent with her proved that she was twice as powerful as he was.“I didn't expect you to be up so soon,” he said. “How long did you think I could stand the stench of your wife?” Darell retorted. “Wife?

Eisha didn't dare look back as she ran. Although she was afraid of what would happen to Daniel with her gone, she knew it was necessary to save the Empress before the monster she once considered a friend got to her. She didn't think that Daniel was equipped enough to hold him down for long and her legs were getting tired. On sighting a horse from a distance, she quickly flagged the horse and luckily it was a royal horse. “Who are you running?” The soldier asked. Eisha was about to respond when she suddenly realized that a single royal horse couldn't be out here in their market.It only meant one thing. Without responding, she dashed past him, running to catch a carriage to the palace. Her heart skipped when she heard the horse galloping behind her.“Hey, woman! Stop there!” He yelled. She quickly diverted into a narrow street and went through several houses, confident he wouldn't find her. By the time she was out on the street again, the rider was nowhere in sight. She flagged a

“You need to come with me to the palace now,” Daniel told Eisha. “Why? Is something wrong?” She asked. It was sudden to see him return at that this time of the day so she knew for sure that something was up. “Yes, very wrong. The Empress, something is happening to her and we don't know the cause of it,” he said. “What is wrong with the Empress?” Eisha asked. “Her nightmares are becoming reality. She has bite and claw marks all over her and it's becoming frightening. I have this feeling it might have something to do with Roy,” he said. Eisha frowned. She didn't exactly see the connection. As if he read her mind, he responded. “The attacks started immediately after the ceremony,” he explained.“I know Roy is into some shady business but I am not sure he has anything to do with the Empress' ailment,” Eisha argued. “Fine! Even if he's not responsible for it, let's inform the Emperor about his true identity.”“I don't know, Daniel. Is that really necessary…” Eisha drawled uneasily.

Corpse
Darell opened her eyes to an unfamiliar environment. The place was stuffy and smelled like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Her heightened senses could pick out the smell of a rotting corpse somewhere. She tried to sit up from the lying position only to discover that her body was chained to the bed. Her nose scrunched in irritation. “You're awake,” the gruff voice startled her. She didn't notice his presence in the room, until now. “That's good. I was hoping we could have a civil conversation.”“If you were going to abduct me, you should have at least picked somewhere with enough oxygen. I would the bare first than a room with a rotting corpse,” Darell said.Roy's eyes widen in shock. He thought the spell he used to give the room a homely smell was very effective since no one ever complained about it.How come she smelled it in just seconds of consciousness?“I don't know what you're talking about,” he denied. “You have a yard behind this place, don't you? Didn't it occur to you

Missing
Darell squinted her eyes, trying to get a glimpse of his true appearance but there was nothing for her to see. Everything was concealed by the mask on his face. “I don't want to kill you. Left to me, I wouldn't even be here but you are trying to interfere with something that is none of your business and I can't let that happen,” Roy said. “You mean the royal family? I'm afraid that is every bit my business as it is yours and I am going to stop you,” Darell said confidently. Darell pulled out a sword, surprising her. For someone with such an evil aura, she expected him to go fully spiritual on her. “A blade? I thought we were playing with magic. Except, you're not as powerful as you pretend to be,” she mocked. Roy didn't let her words get to him. The mountain already weakened him enough. Any attack he made on this woman had to be physical.She could head to head with him spiritually because of his weak state but her dainty form was no match for his physical strength.“You are not

“What do you think?” Ragi moved away from the Empress with a puzzled expression. “I must confess your highness, I have never seen anything like this. It is strange to me,” Ragi said.Ivory’s shoulder sagged hopelessly. She was expecting that response. Even in her kingdom, there had never been a record of anything like it. “So what do we do now? We have less than ten hours to figure this out, Ragi. I don't want my wife going to bed and waking up with more injuries. We need to do something about this,” Styles said. “I'm sorry, your Majesty but I really don't understand what we can do in this situation. It is a new ailment and it is quite scary,” Ragi sighed.Ivory stood, begging to be excused. She couldn't take it anymore. The images in her head was scary enough, she didn't need a reconfirmation.Styles wanted to go after her but Ragi stopped him.“Maybe Darell can help,” he suggested.“Right, Darell! Why didn't we think about that earlier? Get her here as soon as possible. I'll go

Bitten
Ivory sat in her chelanvers, staring at the clock. She was afraid to sleep. She didn't want a repeat of what happened the last time.A part of her was still trying to convince her that it was all in her head. That she probably for the scratches from thrashing. But the injuries were too deep to have been her nails and the doctor confirmed it too.Styles walked into the room and this time, she was well aware of his presence. “My love,” she smiled. “Why are you still awake? It's pretty late,” he asked then glanced at the baby's cot, “was she giving you trouble?”“A little but I'm glad she's asleep now. I didn't expect you to come in so soon,” she said. Of a truth, she didn't expect him to come to her chambers at all. She was afraid he would easily notice the marks. Although she was fully clothed, she could feel the lust as his eyes roamed her body. “You're a bit overdressed, don't you think?” He spoke up and she bit her lip. “I was catching a cold,” she lied. “Are you feverish?” H
