Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 181: Kerrigan's Struggle
Celia's voice, clear yet gentle, cut through the stillness left by Abraxas. Her presence was no less commanding, though her tone carried a weight of measured wisdom rather than fire.“Kerrigan Lokir,” Celia intoned softly, her golden eyes piercing through the lingering smoke. “You are bound to Abraxas by the flames of power, but power without wisdom is a blade without a hilt—dangerous to wield and likely to cut those closest to you. Will you, in the heat of your battles, remember to temper your strength with counsel, and will you accept guidance when the path ahead is obscured by your own fury?”The question hung in the air, a deeper challenge than Kerrigan had expected. It wasn’t just about her intentions or convictions—it was about her ability to listen, to be wise enough to seek counsel and to resist the pull of raw power when the stakes were highest. Celia’s gaze was steady, patient, yet the weight of her words made i
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 182: The King's Reckoning
The chamber was suffused with a tense, expectant silence as the flames receded from Kerrigan. She stepped back, breathless but unbowed, and the eyes of everyone in the room turned to the last figure left to face the dragons’ judgment: King Ryu Pinon. The King stood rigid, his posture defiant, but there was no mistaking the tension in his clenched jaw and the beads of sweat that dotted his brow. His authority, his very right to rule, was about to be put to the ultimate test.Abraxas loomed above, his presence commanding and unyielding, his emerald eyes locked onto the King with a piercing intensity. Celia’s light danced around the edges of the chamber, illuminating every flicker of doubt and every whispered murmur from the crowd. They had seen Conor and Kerrigan face the flames with honesty and resolve, and now they waited to see if their King would do the same—or falter under the weight of his own sins.The flames roared to life once more, encircling
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 183: The Dragons' Judgment
The flames around the King receded, leaving the chamber in a stunned, tense silence. King Ryu Pinon stood, visibly shaken, his regal facade shattered by the brutal interrogation of the dragons.Conor, Kerrigan, and King Ryu Pinon each stood at the edges of the ancient triskele, their fates now in the hands of Celia and Abraxas.The High Council, nobles, and the few permitted media representatives sat frozen, their eyes locked on the ancient, ethereal forms of Celia and Abraxas, who hovered above the room with a presence that was both majestic and terrifying.Every soul in the room, every citizen watching from the screens across the kingdom, knew that what was about to unfold would change the realm forever.Cameras whirred softly, capturing every moment as the dragons prepared to deliver their judgment, their power undeniable and absolute.Celia’s form shimmered with a soft, silvery blue light, her presence comforting yet edged with a sa
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 184: Dragon's Flame
as the cheers died down, all eyes shifted to King Ryu Pinon, the last to face the dragons’ judgment. The King stood alone, his posture rigid but his eyes filled with a mix of defiance and dread. The crowd’s murmurs grew uneasy, sensing the inevitability of what was about to come.Finally, Abraxas’s eyes turned to the man, isolated by the weight of his own choices. The flames, once fierce, now coiled around him like a serpent ready to strike. King Ryu Pinon remained defiant in his stance, but his eyes betrayed a flicker of fear.“Ryu Pinon, King of this realm, Guardian of the Crown, Keeper of the Kingdom’s Covenant,” Abraxas intoned, his voice as cold and sharp as a blade. “You have been granted power by the covenants of old, yet you have you have chosen to rule with authority, but not with wisdom. Your reign is without honor, and without regard for the sacred oaths that bind you.”Abraxas’s flam
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 185:The Aftermath of Judgment
The dragons’ departure left the courtroom cloaked in a charged silence, as if the very air was holding its breath. The brilliant glow of Celia and the fierce flames of Abraxas had vanished, leaving only the faint scent of smoke and the weight of what had just occurred.Every eye in the room was fixed on the empty space where King Ryu Pinon had stood moments before, now reduced to ash and memory.Conor and Kerrigan, still reeling from their own trials, exchanged a brief, knowing look. They had not expected to survive the Trial by Fire unscathed, let alone to be standing before the kingdom as its de facto leaders.But the dragons’ judgment had been clear: they were deemed worthy, and now the future of the realm lay in their hands, at least for the time being.The High Council, nobles, and media remained in stunned silence, their faces a mix of awe, fear, and uncertainty. The kingdom had lost its king, its stability shattered in an instant, and t
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 186:The Judgment of the Benedicts
Two days had passed since the dragons’ fiery judgment fell upon King Ryu Pinon, but the kingdom was still reeling.The shock of losing its monarch so suddenly had left the realm unmoored, and while Conor and Kerrigan had helped guide the kingdom through the immediate chaos, there was still unfinished business that weighed heavily on the court’s conscience.The fates of Kelan and Gregor Benedict—two men whose actions had threatened to tear the kingdom apart—still hung in the balance.The grand courtroom was once again filled to capacity, its walls echoing with the anxious murmurs of nobles, councilors, and the public. Media representatives lined the back, their cameras poised to capture every moment of what would surely be another historic day.The courtroom was not just a place of judgment today—it was a stage for the kingdom’s reckoning with its own failures. The people wanted to see justice, and they wanted to believe
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 187: Rebuilding Trust and Setting a New Path Forward
Near the end of the week, the dust of the recent trials had settled, but the echoes of the dragons’ judgment still resonated throughout the kingdom.Golan was a realm wounded by corruption, deceit, and the unchecked ambitions of its leaders. Yet, with the sentencing of Kelan and Gregor Benedict, a new chapter was ready to be written—a chapter where the people’s voices would finally be heard, and justice would no longer be a commodity traded among the powerful.The weight of this responsibility fell on Conor and Kerrigan, alongside the newly formed Regency Council, as they stepped into their roles as temporary stewards of a kingdom in need of healing.The Regency Council convened in the Great Hall, a grand space now filled with a renewed sense of purpose. Lord Bravik, Duke Atholl and his wife Lady Atholl—two figures of unimpeachable honor who had guided the council with measured wisdom—took their places at the head of the assembly.Conor and Kerrigan sat side by side, their presence a
Rejected Billionaire book 2: Abraxas's Revenge Chapter 188: Planning for the Future
The morning light filtered softly through the windows of Lokir House, casting a warm glow across the grand study where Conor and Kerrigan sat, surrounded by maps, documents, and the echoes of recent events.The trials were over, the kingdom had begun its journey toward healing, and the dragons’ judgment had set the realm on a path to a new beginning. But for Conor and Kerrigan, the work was far from finished.Today, they were not standing before a court or making speeches to the people; today, they were simply two partners trying to figure out how to balance the immense responsibilities that lay ahead.Kerrigan sat at the large oak table in the Lokir war room, her fingers tracing the edges of a map that spanned the entire kingdom.Her eyes moved over the marked locations—Jinstain, Lokir, Velyki—each one representing a piece of the life they were trying to build and manage. Conor stood by the window, looking out at the lush fields of Loki
