Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 172: Conor’s Gambit

"What purpose does this serve, Deinmaar Conor? Have we not seen enough?"Conor held his gaze. "There are ancient laws, buried within the kingdo
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 173: Gregor’s Last Stand
The courtroom was tense, the air heavy with the anticipation of what was to come. The walls of the grand hall seemed to close in, the once-vibrant banners of the kingdom’s crest hanging like a judgmental audience over the proceedings.Conor’s presentation of the ancient scrolls had left the nobles and the High Council in a stunned silence. The echoes of the scribe’s voice reading aloud the punishments—the loss of titles, lands, even the death sentence—hung in the room like a noose.Kerrigan could feel the shift, the palpable unease among the gathered nobles. The trial had taken an unexpected turn, and for the time, the Benedicts were truly on the defensive.Conor stood beside her, his calm presence a steady anchor in the storm of tension.

Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 174: The King's Intervention
The heavy oak doors of the courtroom swung open with a thunderous crash, causing every head to snap toward the entrance.A hush fell over the hall as the King entered, flanked by his personal guards, their gleaming armor reflecting the flickering torchlight. His presence was unmistakable—a living embodiment of power draped in royal blue and gold, his crown a sharp, unyielding reminder of the authority he wielded.The air itself seemed to stiffen in response, and a ripple of uncertainty passed through the assembled nobles.Kerrigan’s eyes narrowed as she watched the King approach, his gait purposeful and imperious. She felt Conor’s hand subtly brush against hers, a silent exchange of solidarity. They both knew what this meant: the King’s sudden arrival was not a mere show of concern but a calculated move to reclaim control over a trial that had veered dangerously off course.“Your Majesty,” the presiding judge said, rising from his seat and bowing deeply. The rest of the courtroom follo
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 175: The People’s Voice
The murmur of unrest had started as a faint whisper in the marketplaces and taverns of Jinstain, but now it had grown into a roar that echoed across the kingdom. News of the trial’s latest developments had spread like wildfire—Conor’s revelation of the ancient scrolls, Gregor’s desperate attempts to sway the court, and the King’s thunderous intervention. The entire kingdom was watching, and the people were no longer content to remain silent.Kerrigan stood at the window of her temporary chambers in the capital, looking out over the city below. What she saw was a kingdom divided. The streets were filled with people—merchants, farmers, laborers, and nobles alike—gathered in clusters, engaged in heated debates. Some bore banners that called for justice against the Benedicts, emblazoned with slogans like “No One Is Above the Law” and “Protect the Dragons’ Covenant.” Others, however, held signs in support of the King, proclaiming, “Loyalty to the Crown” and “Order Before Chaos.”The trial
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 176: The King’s Ultimatum
Late in the evening, the grand doors to the King’s private chamber swung open with a low creak, and Kerrigan and Conor stepped inside, their every movement weighed down by the tension that had been building for weeks.The room was dimly lit, a far cry from the usual splendor of the palace, as if even the light itself had recoiled from the gravity of what was about to unfold. The King sat at the head of a long, polished table, his face shadowed, his posture rigid with barely concealed frustration.He looked every bit the ruler who had been backed into a corner, and Kerrigan could see the cracks in his carefully maintained composure.To the world, the King was still a figure of unassailable authority, but here, in this private confrontation, he was a man fighting desperately to maintain control over a kingdom that was slipping through his fingers.“Come in,” the King said curtly, gesturing to the seats across from him. “We have matters to discuss that cannot wait.”Kerrigan and Conor ex

That night, as they sat in their quarters, Kerrigan spoke first. “The King will never truly hold Kelan accountable. He’s too valuable to him and his limited control over Gregor. The moment the trial ends, Kelan will find a way back to power or at least live in comfort, and nothing will change.”Conor stared out into the night, the city below still restless with the echoes of protest and dissent. The King’s ultimatum hung over them like a storm cloud, and every instinct told him that they were at a crossroads.Yet the path forward felt obscured, and the weight of the decision before them was crushing. The King had offered them a way out—a false peace that would preserve his power but betray everything they had fought for. And Conor knew, deep down, that they were running out of options.Kerrigan sat beside him, her face set in grim determination, but there was a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes. “We can’t accept his terms. This isn’t just about the Benedicts anymore. It’s about the so
