Liam walked into the luxurious hotel, blending into the background. He approached the reception desk, where a polite receptionist greeted him."Welcome to the Grand Plaza Hotel, sir. How may I assist you?"Liam's deep voice was polite but understated. “I'm here to collect my key. Presidential suite.”The receptionist’s eyes scanned him before asking for his name. “Your name please.”“Liam miller.”The receptionist's eyes widened as she scanned her computer screen. Her demeanor shifted from professional to servile.“I apologize, sir. I didn't realize...You're the owner of our presidential suite.”Liam's expression remained neutral, accustomed to the reaction.”it’s fine.” he said calmly“Key, please.”The receptionist hastily handed him the key, her hands trembling slightly.“Is there anything else I can do for you, sir? Complimentary champagne or—”“No, thank you,” Liam interrupted, taking the key.With a nod, he turned toward the elevators, leaving the receptionist in awe.As Liam ent
Jessica's cheeks burned bright as she realized her position.“Liam, I...I'm sorry,” she stammered, struggling to free herself.Liam's grip loosened, allowing her to stand.“What were you doing here?” Liam asked, attempting to compose himself.Jessica's eyes darted around the room. “I...I needed to talk to you.” Both of them could feel the tension between them. Liam grabbed a robe from the nearby chair and wrapped it around himself.“I am listening,” Liam said, his voice softer.“I can come back later.” she said.“It’s fine, have your seat.”“Tell me, why do you want to see me?” Liam asked, his curiosity piqued.Jessica's gaze dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. “I'm fine with it.”Liam's brow furrowed. “Fine with what?”She lifted her eyes, a hint of determination in her voice. “I'm fine with you cheating, Liam. Just don't let it get out.”Liam's eyes widened, shocked. “What do you mean cheating?” he exclaimed.Jessica's expression remained calm, her voice steady. “I told you,
“Wait,” Liam said. “ I need you to clarify something. Are you giving me permission to cheat?”Jessica's eyes widened, her expression a mix of shock and amusement. "What? No, Liam, that's not what I'm saying at all."Her response made Liam smile.Liam's brow furrowed. "Then what exactly are you saying? Because from where I'm standing, it sounds like you're giving me a free pass."Emily sighed, her shoulders relaxing. "I'm saying I trust that you'll make good choices and respect our relationship, once our relationship gets public tomorrow, everyone is going to be watching us.”Liam's gaze held hers, searching for reassurance. "And if I fail?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.“You can't afford to.” she said and slowly released his grip on her wrist.”Good night Liam.” she said and walked out of his room.-Jessica yelled upstairs, “shut up and get your ass up here!!”Arthur leisurely made his way upstairs, “I thought you said Master David will pick me up.” he yelled back whil
Theodore led his men through the winding tunnels of the Dragon's Spine mountains, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and ancient magic. The path twisted and turned, navigating treacherous ravines and sheer drops.“Stay alert,”Theodore warned, his voice low. "The enchantments protecting this chamber are notorious.His men nodded, hands on sword hilts, eyes scanning the shadows.As they descended deeper, the air grew colder, the darkness palpable. Theodore's gaze flicked to the ancient runes etched into the walls, pulsing with a malevolent energy.Suddenly, the ground trembled. Rocks cascaded down the tunnel, blocking their path."Trap," one of Theodore's men hissed. Two men suddenly disappeared.“Boss! Milo and Alex are gone!” one of them said, making the rest of them scared.Theodore drew his sword, its blade shimmering with a faint blue light. “Will join them!.” he yelled.They nodded in union. “ I thought as much.” he said. “If not,Clear the rubble," he ordered. "We must reac
The rustling in the trees grew louder, and Theodore's men readied their weapons. Suddenly, a majestic centaur emerged from the underbrush. His equine body gleamed with strength, while his human torso shone with wisdom.“Greetings, travelers.”the centaur said, his voice resonating like thunder. Theodore stepped forward, hand still on his sword hilt. “We mean no harm. We're seeking shelter for our wounded. The centaur's gaze swept the group, lingering on the injured.“I am Kaelos, guardian of these woods.What brings you to the wood?.” he asked.Theodore's eyes locked onto Kaelo’s'. “We're after the Dragon's Grass Seal,”he said, his voice low.Kaelos's expression turned hard. “You seek to plunder the Dragon's Spine? I cannot aid you.”Theodore shrugged. “We're not here to harm the land. The seal is our only goal.”Theodore's eyes locked onto Kaelo’. “We're after the map that leads to the Dragon's Grass Seal,” he said, his voice firm.Kaelos's expression turned hard. “The map is not in t

Asher's eyes narrowed, sensing a shift.Victor's expression turned alert.she came closer and whispered to his ears, immediately, Dere collected the phone. He answered the caall.Dere's voice dropped to a whisper. “What? When?”Asher's curiosity piqued. Dere's face became pale. “I understand,” Dere said, hanging up.“Hope no Problem?” Asher asked.“Not at all.” Dere said composing himself.“I'm afraid our meeting must end, Dragon head, something happened at my sect that i must address immediately.”“Is there any way I can help?” Asher asked.Dere smiled. “No, i am sorry i can't see you off.” he said “Victor, please see the Dragon head off,” Victor nodded and moved to meet him.“I will escort you out sir.” she said.Asher rose, Victor gestured toward the door.“Shall we sir?” Asher nodded.Immediately outside the study, Asher faced Victor. “I need your help,”Asher whisper
“Ouch, Laim, you're hurting me.” Jessica exclaimed.Laim's gaze snapped back to hers, his eyes widening in surprise.He did not realize that his grip was too tight, he relaxed his grip, and removed his hands immediately.“I am sorry, I didn't mean to.” Liam apologized, his expression softening.Arthur rushed to Jessica's side. “Are you good?” he asked, concern etched on his face.Jessica nodded, wincing slightly. Arthur turned to Liam, his expression stern. “What the fuck, man?!”Jessica grasped Arthur's arm, holding him back. “It was an accident, not intentional, okay? Let's all just calm down and settle into our rooms, okay?”Liam looked remorseful. “I'm sorry, Jess. I didn't mean to hurt you.” he apologized again.Arthur's gaze lingered on Laim before nodding. “Alright, let's cool off,” he said, backing down.“Arthur, you should head to your room,” Jessica instructed firmly, her eyes still locked on Laim.Arthur hesitated, his gaze lingering on Laim before nodding. “Fine, but we'
Liam's eyes widened as Jessica's yell echoed in the room. He rushed towards the bathroom, scared that something bad happened to Jessica. “Miss Matthew!!!!!Are you okay?’Jessica's voice came from inside, embarrassed. “Yeah, I'm fine. Just slipped.”Liam was relieved. “Do you need help?”“No, I'm good,” Jessica replied, her voice muffled because of the sound of the running water. Liam hesitated, then turned away, trying to ignore the mental image of Jessica naked that kept appearing in his head. He took a deep breath, focusing on the sound of running water.A few minutes later, Jessica came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, her hair dripping wet. Liam averted his gaze, feeling his face flush.“Sorry about that,”Jessica said, smiling wryly. “Guess I'm a bit clumsy today, there are no robes here.” she said laughing awkwardly.Liam cleared his throat. “No worries. Are you okay?” Jessica nodded, tightening the towel around herself. “Yeah. Just need to get dressed.”As Jessica bega
