Rise of the Fallen Son-in-law Chapter 115
Juniper's anger started to subside, and she saw that beneath Dorian's unreadable expression was a desire to make things right. She also saw how much he wanted to look after her, and how much he cared for her. She knew she should be grateful for that."I'm sorry for overreacting," Juniper said, her voice softer now. "I know you didn't mean to hurt me, and I appreciate you trying to help."As Dorian reached out to embrace Juniper, she flinched, and her arm shot up. Her fist made contact with Dorian's jaw, and he staggered backwards, holding his cheek. Juniper's eyes were wide, and she clapped a hand over her mouth, her cheeks flushing bright red. "Oh my gods, I'm so sorry!" she cried. "I thought you were trying to grab me, and I was trying to get away. I didn't mean to hit you!"Dorian winced as he rubbed his cheek, but then he broke into a smile. "Don't worry about it," Dorian said, his voice reassuring. "It was just a misunderstanding. No harm done." He reached out his hand, offering

"I'm sorry," she said, her voice shaky. "I know I was insensitive and thoughtless. I didn't think about how my words would affect you and Nancy. I just want you both to know that I'm really, truly sorry."Dorian looked at her, his expression unreadable.A long moment passed, the silence stretching between them. Then Dorian spoke. "I appreciate your apology," he said, his voice soft. "And I know you meant no harm. But I'm not the one you need to apologize to. Nancy is the one who was truly hurt."Juniper swallowed hard, looking over at Nancy. She could see the pain in her eyes, the hurt that Juniper had caused. "You're right," she said. "I'll talk to her."With a deep breath, Juniper turned and walked over to where Nancy was sitting. She sat down beside her, not quite sure what to say. "Nancy," she began, "I'm so sorry for what I said earlier. It was thoughtless and insensitive. I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know that I did. And I want to make it right."Nancy looked at her, her eye

The mention of Laureline's name sent a shiver down Markus' spine. He had heard rumors of her visits to the capital, and he knew that she had a reputation for being unpredictable. Some said she was a force for good, while others whispered that she was a dangerous and wild creature. But whatever the case, she was a powerful goddess, and her presence could not be ignored. As she approached, Markus could feel her energy swirling around him, like a storm gathering in the distance.

Markus' heart was pounding so hard he could hear it in his ears. He was torn between love and duty, his mind racing as he tried to find a solution. Finally, he looked up, his eyes fixed on Laureline's. In a clear and steady voice, he spoke. "I can't betray the woman I love."Markus knew that his decision would anger the Blackwoods, and they would most likely try to retaliate. But he could not betray Celeste, and risk losing her love and trust. He would not be a cheater or a liar, even if it cost him the alliance with Laureline. He stood tall, his eyes full of conviction. "I am sorry if my decision disappoints you, but I cannot do otherwise."Juniper's thoughts were racing, her mind filled with questions and doubts. She loved Dorian, but she wasn't sure if she could withstand the trials of love. Love was a battlefield, and she had never been one for conflict. She wondered if she was truly ready to face the challenges that lay ahead, or if she would crumble under the pressure. For the f

"A god."Markus's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Wait, what? You thought this person was a god? What makes you think that?"Mrs. Blackwood sighed and looked down at her hands. "It's a long story, but the short version is that he did some things that seemed... impossible. I don't know how to explain it, but it was unlike anything I've ever seen. And his name is Darius Fastfingers.""Goodness," Juniper exclaimed, her voice high-pitched with astonishment. "You're saying that the god of thieves was your lover?"Markus shifted uncomfortably, glancing at Mrs. Blackwood. "That's quite the claim," he said, his tone cautious. "Pshaw!" Juniper exclaimed. "The god of thieves was her lover? That's a laugh! The idea is preposterous! Mrs. Blackwood is quite the character!"Markus arched an eyebrow, a quizzical expression on his face. "You don't say? I must admit, this is all news to me. I had no idea Mrs. Blackwood had such a colorful past. It certainly casts her in a new light."Celeste's heart ache

"I want to take you on a getaway trip, just the two of us. We can leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and enjoy some time away from it all."Leo turned to her, curiosity evident on his face. "A getaway trip?" he asked, his eyes widening. "That sounds amazing, but I'm not sure it's such a good idea. I mean, what about work?"She waved a hand dismissively.Leo's heart sank as Fiona spoke. He knew that this trip would be anything but a relaxing getaway. He was dreading the awkward silences, the forced conversation, and the inevitable comparison to his future father-in-law. But he also knew that he couldn't let Fiona down. Fiona's eyes shone with anticipation as she awaited Leo's response. She could practically hear the cogs turning in his head as he considered her request. Finally, he took a deep breath and turned to face her."I appreciate the thought, Fiona, but I'm not sure it's a good idea," he said gently. "I know your father means a lot to you, but I don't want to get i

Richard's face was like stone as he stared at his daughter. He was furious, but also impressed by her bravery. He had never seen her stand up to him like this before. It was clear that she was not going to back down, and he knew that he had to choose his next words carefully."You have betrayed me, daughter," he said, his voice cold and calculated. "You have turned against your own family, and for what? A boy?"Fiona's eyes flashed with anger. "This is not about Leo," she said. "This is about you and your obsession with power. Your thirst for control has clouded your judgement, and you are blind to the suffering of your people. You have become a tyrant, and I can no longer stand by and watch."Richard's face turned red with rage, and he rose from his throne. "I have given you everything you could ever want," he spat. "And this is how you repay me? With betrayal and disrespect?"Fiona's hands were trembling, but her voice was steady. "You have given me nothing but misery and fear. I am
