Stacie was in a very desperate state.Her sudden emergence from the crowd had stunned everyone into murmured gasps, the words she said spurring their attention.Someone suddenly seemed to have realized something as they yelled out, "Isn't she the girl who attempted to kill herself for the nation's husband?" "Yeah, it must be her!"Everyone's gazes turned to Peter.As this city's most important person at the moment, they didn't dare say anything bad about him, however looks could tell what the mouth dared not speak.Most people wouldn't willingly watch an injustice happen to a young woman right before their eyes.Looking at Stacie she was a young and very beautiful girl, however her eyes looked hollow as if she hadn't even gotten to sleep at all for days.Her state looked completely miserable as if she'd spent days pining for someone.Everyone immediately felt sorry for her. Peter raised how eyebrow as he glanced at her. "What did you say just now?" He asked calmly.Stacie looked at
The young woman who had just arrived was Katie Halton.When Amanda had gone around trying to convince everyone in class to side with Stacie's story, only Katie left without even giving her a listening ear.Peter had contacted Katie as his witness to show the world that Stacie was nothing but a liar.Katie walked up the stage holding up her skirt."Everyone, this is one of my classmates, Miss Katie Halton and one of the witnesses of my former relationship with Miss Stacie. I brought Katie here to help clear everything up." Peter gestured to Katie who nodded without any hesitation and stepped towards the mic."Stacie Williams, aren't you the most black bellied woman to ever exist on earth? How can you shamelessly speed these lies, if Peter were to marry you after all these lies, do you even think you could be happy with him?" Katie directed her words to Stacie, she felt incredibly upset about what Stacie was doing."Everyone I'd like you all to know the truth. Stacie broke up with Pete
Peter knew Stacie already came prepared, he was quite interested to see what else she had in store for this big plan of hers."Mr. Crox, please don't insult this innocent lady anymore, you've already done enough to cause her pain. If you really want proof, then I'll show you the proof that she's really pregnant."The woman who had stepped out of the crowd faced Peter."My name is doctor Gina Edwards, here's my ID for everyone can confirm. I didn't expect to see Stacie at this party tonight, at first I didn't want to interfere since we only have a doctor patient relationship however I'm a woman, I can't watch another woman in trouble. This man has to take responsibility for her and her child,"As for proof of her pregnancy, luckily I have a backup file on my phone containing all of my patients records."The woman took out her phone and scrolled for several minutes before she raised her head again, "Here's Miss Williams record that clearly shows that she is pregnant. Mr Crox, do you dar
"Stacie Williams, did you really think I would marry you?" As she heard Peter's words, Stacie glanced up at him with a hint of fear in her eyes. The confident smirk on his face told her he had something up his sleeve. She felt a chill suddenly run down her spine."You... but you have to marry me now." She said softly."You have indeed entertained me Stacie. I want you to go back to that fateful day when I was thrown out of the university and stomped upon by you and Joey, remember all the humiliating words you said to me."Stacie's expression changed as Peter reminded her of all these things.'Don't look so disappointed Peter, I never planned to be with you forever, how could you expect a girl like me to be with a loser like you? Joey is my boyfriend now, so I'm breaking up with you.''The girl is very pretty, but look at that guy. His clothes look like they were picked out of a trash can, did he really expect such a pretty girl to be his girlfriend?''It's good for losers to know th
It was as if an angel had descended upon Landville, everyone was transfixed in their spot unable to move.The woman's dress seemed to be embellished with diamonds as they glitter almost blinded eyes.She walked steadily into the hall, her round pink lips tilted up in a smile when she sighted Peter.It was as if everyone else in the hall were unworthy of her presence except for that one person on the stage, the person her beautiful eyes were fixated upon.No one could move or speak as she walked towards the platform and gently raised the hem of her skirt to climb up the steps.Every move of hers was soft and dainty, yet when one looked closely they would see a danger in her eyes. "Wow! Am I in a dream, or has an angel really appeared before me?""She is too beautiful, I've never seen a woman like her in my life!""Look at her skin, it's as soft as tofu.""Damn I'd love to feel what that supple body of hers would be like.""Shut your lecherous mouth, this young lady looks like an angel
Peter stared at the small flag for a long time in confusion, but no matter how much he stared, he couldn't remember anything about why it looked familiar.Peter sighed massaging his temples, "What could all this mean?" As he asked himself this question, loose pieces began to form in his mind.'...when you find out who you truly are.' The old man Jonathan's words flashed into his mind.'...I hope someday you'll come home too.'"Clues..." Peter muttered with a thoughtful expression."Could it be... I'm not who I think I am?" Looking down at the flag again, Peter stared at it as if he could find the answers on it, he sighed after a few seconds unconsciously flipping the flag when he noticed two letters written at the back of it. "I.S" Peter read the letters trying to figure out what it means when something suddenly occured in his mind. A knowledge that he had no idea how it came to his head."I.S means Independent States?"He asked himself."I don't know how I know this, but it makes
"Why is the independent states logo on this book as well. Could the author be from this place? If I can find them, I'll be able to know where on earth this independent states really is."Peter reached for his phone and quickly browsed the author's name."Camilla Foxx, a renowned fantasy author with over three hundred books to her name..." Peter read out her biography,"She's pretty impressive, to have written over three hundred books she must be some old lady in a retirement home by now."He continued, "Her latest book, The reborn demon general has amassed fame, having millions of fans all over the world. Camilla is skilled with world building and weaving a magical fantasy..." "Can I skip all this and reach the part where they tell me where she lives? Why can't I find any pictures of her?"Peter searched and searched but didn't find a single picture of the author on the internet nor any direct address where he could find her. Peter sighed in frustration, "Could the author of this bo
When Hunter stepped down from the Gulfstream G650 he beckoned one of his workers over."Boss you called." The man hurried over."This here is my friend Peter Crox." Hunter introduced.The worker gazed at Peter with his mouth open, "The new owner of every property in this city?" "You got that right, more accurately as he's called by everyone, The city Lord." The worker turned to Peter bowing his head lowly, "City Lord!" He called in a respectful greeting.Peter was slightly taken aback before he waved his hand, "No need for all that. It's just an empty title." Hunter laughed, "Of course it's more than an empty title, do you know that the fates of all the people in this city rests on you? One word from you could seal their fates forever. A man who owns a single building is called a landlord, one who owns a whole city is the lord over it all.""Your words make sense, but I don't want to be given too much unrequired respect." Hunter shrugged, "If you say so." He turned to his employee
