2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hail Victoria!" "Hail!" "Hail Victoria!!" "Hail!!" "Hail Victoria!!!" "Hail!!!" The thunderous voice of the army echoed through the forest. Judging by their response, one could discern the might of the army. Lieutenant Anderson, the second in command of the Giant Hall Army of Victoria elite soldiers, was in a cheerful mood that day.
The soldiers gathered for the next line of instruction. "Soldiers!" Anderson began. "We are not here today for war; we are here for a celebration!" Anderson shouted with great joy in his voice, which made the soldiers chant in jubilation.
As the cheering subsided, Anderson continued, "We are gathered here for the wedding celebration of Dominic Lorenzo, 'The Surtr' and 'Fire god' of the Giant Hall Army!" Anderson screamed at the top of his voice, the soldiers cheering along. Happiness filled the atmosphere. It was their Captain’s wedding celebration, and they were excited.
“Wedding anniversary,” Sergeant Ramirez whispered in Anderson’s ear before withdrawing from him. “Huhhhh, wedding, anniversary… is there really a difference?” Anderson asked, squeezing his brows at Ramirez.
“Eat, drink, and party, knights; the party has just begun,” Anderson echoed with so much charisma. “Don’t forget, we need him back. We can’t underestimate Mezeth,” Ramirez reminded Anderson. “Ohhh goodness, Ramirez, are you made for war? Enjoy the moments, man. Party, drink, eat.”
Dominic needed to be back as soon as possible to protect his people from Mezeth. There were rumors that they were planning an attack on Victoria in the absence of their captain.
KESTER CITY, 9:35 PM
Dominic returned home after a stressful day, eager to wash away his stress under the shower. He opened the door, which made a squeaky sound. Dominic sighed. "This door needs to be greased," he said to himself.
"Dominic! Is that you?" A familiar voice called out. He sighed in frustration; all he wanted now was a cool shower and nothing more. "Yeah, babe, I'm home. How are you?" Dominic asked, faking a smile as he observed his wife engrossed with her phone on the sofa.
"I want some oranges now!" She ordered without sparing him a glance.
"Not now, babe. I'm so tired; I want to shower." Diana shot him a deadly glance that made him reconsider his decision.
"How do you want it? Babe, you can't be serious now. You know I can do anything for you," Dominic said, smiling at his wife. She had a way of emotionally blackmailing him. "Oh, dumbass, it's just a way to prove how well-cultured you are," she sneered with disdain.
"Culture? So, you were testing me. You’re unbelievable," Dominic sighed and made his way to the kitchen. He wasn’t in the mood for her games.
Diana chuckled as she watched Dominic obey her. She continued on her phone, replying to Frank’s message. "My plaything. He's indeed a good dog and will always do as I say, so you don't need to worry. I'll make him sign the divorce." She waited impatiently for Frank’s reply.
Diana had met Frank Catt, a plump and overweight man, six months back. He had managed to capture Diana’s heart with his money.
She had secretly been having affairs with him, as he provided for her needs and spoiled her with whatever she wanted. Diana soon became tired of Dominic.
He even proposed to her and promised to marry her if she managed to divorce her husband. Diana loves Frank for his money and is willing to divorce her wretched husband for him.
"Here you go, babe. I could feed you if you want," Dominic said, trying to be romantic. He couldn't wait for tomorrow to see the shock on his wife's face when he reveals his real identity, and she realizes that she's the first lady to a Surtr and first in command in Victoria's territory.
Dominic moved close to his wife, shoving the strands of hair that slightly covered part of her face. In disgust, she shoved him off, making the tray of oranges slip from Dominic’s hand and spill on the floor.
Dominic sighed in frustration. He stood up and made his way to the shower. He wasn't ready for her tantrums.
Dominic wondered if his subordinates had made all the preparations. He couldn't wait to give his wife a better life. He worked four extra jobs to make sure he made his wife comfortable.
Dominic soon finished his shower. He approached his wife; she must have forgotten tomorrow is their anniversary, or was she also planning a surprise for him?
"Okay, I’ll be there tomorrow. Please prepare the divorce papers," Dominic heard Diana discussing with the other person on the phone. "Divorce?" Dominic raised his brows in surprise. "Yes, darling, I have an anniversary surprise for you," Diana said with a smirk on her face.
"Oh wow, that would be fun. I can't wait for your surprise. Talk to me, babe," Dominic said joyfully as he took a seat close to her. "I filed for a divorce," Diana said straight to the point without flinching or an iota of remorse.
Dominic's eyes instantly turned red; he didn't understand why his wife was filing for a divorce. “We have been through a lot together, babe, so why a divorce now?” He couldn't believe his ears; Diana, again, made him feel like a failure.
“I can't bear the shame anymore, Dominic. Washing dishes in that pathetic restaurant downstairs, really? And you touched me with those filthy hands! Disgusting.” She said, spitting at his face.
“Diana, it's a job! I'm working hard to provide for us. I work five part-time jobs daily, aside from my main work with the company,” Dominic said, wiping his face with sadness as if all his efforts had been in vain all this while. He worked many hours a week to meet up with her extravagant lifestyle.
Diana laughed, “Your idea of providing is lining up for the latest iPhone and juggling five part-time jobs a week? It's embarrassing. And don't even get me started on not having my own car!”
“Diana, we ought to be a team. I thought we were happy,” Dominic said, with the last strain of hope laced in his voice.
“Happy? With a pauper like you? I deserve better. I'm no worse than anyone else, so why did I marry you?”
Dominic just stood there as he watched his wife; she was breaking his heart. Tomorrow was their wedding anniversary and also his birthday. He had prepared his gift. He wished she could wait a few more hours to see it.
“I deserve the best. I don't want to be tied to someone who can't give me the life I deserve,” Diana said, standing up to leave.
“Diana, please. Let's talk about this. We can work it out.”
“No, Dominic. I've made my decision. Tomorrow morning, we're signing the divorce papers. I will forward you the location of the law firm. Goodbye.”
Dominic stood devastated; all his efforts indeed went in vain. She left him. She called him a failure. Her words taunted him badly. He loves her and could do anything for her. But she broke his heart. Dominic’s phone beeped, jolting him out of his misery.
He glanced at the video message sent to him and forced a smile. He looked at his watch, and it was already 12 am. “Happy birthday, Commander,” he heard a familiar voice of Eleanor behind him.
“We've got Diana so many gifts and surprises,” Eleanor said as she stood gallantly in her silver tuxedo. Dominic faked a smile as he admired his female guard. He had missed them and her especially.
“Where is she? I can’t wait to see her,” Eleanor voiced out, looking around in expectation.
"Cancel all preparations and prepare for my homecoming," Dominic ordered, feeling a surge of power inside him.
"What!" Eleanor exclaimed in shock, looking stunned.
"She said I have no money. That's the reason. It's over.”

Dominic double-checked his phone to confirm he was at the correct address. Standing in front of the private law firm, he read the name as if to reassure himself. Today had been ruined before it even began. Instead of celebrating his anniversary and birthday in grand style, he found himself at the threshold of a legal office."Good morning, you must be Dominic, right?" the lady at the reception said with contempt evident in her voice. "Yes, I am. I'm here to...""That way, please. You kept everyone waiting, thrash! No wonder she wants a divorce. Such a loser," the receptionist yelled harshly.

But it left as quickly as it came. He looked at Eleanor, and for a moment, he didn't recognize her. He had never seen this side of her. So, he gently pushed her hand away, eager to get out of there.Eleanor still held his hand, unwilling to let them further humiliate her general.

"Come on, princess, the clock is ticking. Chop-chop!" Linda mocked, exchanging glances with her accomplice Zara.The two always found it amusing to taunt Dominic. He consistently overlooked their attempts and focused on his work, and today wasn't an exception. However, he had made up his mind."I wonder how he manages to work so hard. Rumor has it, he's his wife's puppet." Zara said silently but loud enough for Dominic to hear. This wasn't his problem; he had learned how to ignore them. They were still unaware that he had divorced his wife, so they still mock him for always pleasing his wife.Although their words still hurt, he wasn't ready for it to deter him. He had made up his mind to move on, and he continued to pack his belongings. He was ready to call it quits. He had worked hard to serve this company and also put in extra effort to please his wife. That was all the aim of coming to Kester city and since his wife left him, he wasn’t ready to keep up with it.“What's with the gl

Dominic went straight to his locker, ignoring them as if he wasn't the one they were referring to. Clark was not ready to let it slide; he attacked Dominic, pushing him on his shoulder. “You're despicable and a coward. I hate you.” Dominic ignored him like he wasn't there.“What do you expect from the little princess? Once a lady’s puppet, always a laddy’s puppet,” Linda added. Dominic saw it as a waste of time to reply to them; he was going anyway, so they could keep ranting all they could.Suddenly, a group of men stormed the office, looking dangerous and terrifying everyone present. There were five in number, and their presence sent terror through the office. “Where the hell is Selena?

Dominic stood there motionless, unsure of the best way to react to what Selena had typed down on the agreement paper.Although he knew that she doubted he had $8 million dollars to give her, she had already won his admiration, making any wrongdoing on her part insignificant.“Okay... Ehhrrmmm… I mean your account number,” he said while sighing, attempting to control his emotion.“It's on the paper there, check it out,” Dominic said simply. She had given up on making him see reasons why he shouldn't involve himself. So, she just wanted to see where this whole drama would end. She was patient with Dominic; he has been one of her hardworking employees.Her phone beeped; she was expecting a reply from Clara, her best friend. She had asked her for assistance to pay off her loan. Yes, Clara had replied, but another message from her bank distracted her.“Ohh no,” she said surprisingly as her gaze met the sheepish smile of Dominic."How did you..." she tried to ask, but he cut her off.

“How cheap! I can't believe my elder sister sold herself for $10 million,” Camara mocked, and Selena's countenance changed. She was angry but chose to hide her anger so she wouldn't ruin her grandma's birthday celebration. Dominic took a deep breath, his tone firm but measured. "Camara, that comment is disrespectful and uncalled for. Selena and I are married because we love each other, and the decision was based on more than just financial considerations. Let's focus on the joyous occasion and show some respect.”Camara faced Dominic, ready to fight back. She was angry that he didn't have the right to reprimand her like a child, but Silas quickly stopped his wife from reacting to Dominic. He was afraid and didn't want his wife to mess with Dominic, realizing he could be the son of a very rich and influential person in the state.Clearly envious, Silas swiftly searched for Dominic's name to check if he was a celebrity he wasn't aware of. Finding no matches, he became suspicious of Dom

Silas leaned back in his chair with a self-satisfied grin. "I did a little digging, Selena. Your charming husband here isn't the hidden wealthy man you think he is. He's just a small employee juggling several part-time jobs for the past few years. The money he used to 'save the company' is likely every penny he scraped together from those menial jobs.”Dominic sat unfazed by Silas’ revelation and responded calmly, "Impressive detective work, Silas. Yes, I worked hard, took odd jobs, and saved every penny to help Selena's company. It's not about being a hidden rich man; it's about dedication and genuine care for someone I love.”“Oohh shut it, you loser. You don't have a place here,” Silas stressed with disdain. The room fell silent as everyone gasped at the sudden revelation. The Alexiou's family doesn't tolerate poor people, so they took it upon themselves to ridicule Dominic and make him see he doesn't have a place with them.Camara got the perfect opportunity to diminish Dominic fu

" Why don't we go to my house?" Selena suggested as they got to the carpark, she still had her rickety car they could take home. Dominic shrugged before nodding slowly." Okay." It wasn't as though he had a place to stay since he and Diana were no longer together. Together, they entered her car and she smiled at him as she threw the car keys at him. He caught them with ease. "Will you drive?" She asked him before furrowing her eyebrows as she stared at him, "I'm sorry, can you drive?" Dominic nodded, he didn't blame her for thinking that he wasn't capable of handling a car. " I can manage." He said and ignited the car. Selena smiled, " I trust you, but I don't want to die." She said. He grinned and Selena was taken aback by his handsomeness. Diana missed a gem and she was happy that she was the one who got it. " I can feel your eyes on me." He said and Dominic smiled as he navigated the car home. Then he suddenly brought the car to a halt causing Selena to be startled." Why did

"Of course, you heard what I said," There was venom and so much hatred in Diana's voice that the crowd shivered with it. Everyone fell silent, the people laid on the floor, trembling with their arms over their head as they prayed for safety. Diana came with a small army of men dressed in black suits and they barricaded the church. Apart from the conspicuous plastic surgery done on the left side of her face,she seemed to have grown bigger. Dominic didn't know how to feel, Selena might have imagined it as the last day of her life, she clenched tighter to him, wishing it would pass away like a dream. "Silly you are Marcus," she said with a snicker, "thinking you can defeat me this easily. I have spent a lifetime planning, waiting for this very moment" Her voice cut through the walls of the silent church, Dominic was still thinking of a response to give when she suddenly twisted Marcus arm and swept him off his feet.

It was finally the day of the wedding. Petals adorned the floor, surrounding the chair and giving off this crazy rich Asians vibe. It was almost feathery that one would think that they were going to lay on them. The church had been decorated by the best event planner in town. No one could even dispute the fact that their wedding was the most elegant in town and how much they had spent. It was the talk of the whole town. People had come from far and near to witness the joining. It was almost as if they had been told that if they missed this wedding, they had missed a lot of things By six a.m. the church was already packed.

Selena opened her eyes first and saw Dominic standing at the window looking outside the hospital. The sunrays hit her eyes and she squinted, she didn't know the time that she made the sound. It was very soft but he heard it anyway. She was tired and stressed but couldn't find an expression for her emotions.As if touched by a life wire, Dominic quickly turned and saw that she was awake. A small smile appeared on his face as he stared at her, she was beautiful even in her sick state. He marched to the edge of the bed and gathered her softly into his arms, her body was exactly the way he remembered. Soft, just that she had become very lean."Stop staring, I'm no longer fine again. I can't face you." She croaked and began to cough violently. Dominic quickly pressed the bell that was close to him and at the end of the day, he saw that she was feeling very tired. He planted kisses on her face. As a General, there were a few things that made him emotional but she was one of them. He didn

Make sure you shoot him now, you must not allow him to escape." He told the people who were standing and looking. Pauo smiled thinking that Todd was referring to Dominic.

He flared up. " Put those guns down!""You don't control us anymore!" One of the soldiers yelled and he was shocked to the bone. "What the hell is this?!" "Exactly what we should have done the very first time! We shout "have killed you the moment you took Selena." Another soldier responded.Paul was stunned and moved back a little. Everything was crumbling before his very eyes. "You can't be serious right now! Are you kidding me right now? You would save this man over me? The man who taught you everything you know?

Selena woke up in a strange bed and saw a man tapping a syringe slowly before clipping the needle to it. Her eyes widened in horror but she wasn't able to move. It seemed like her legs were stuck and all that she could do was to just protest in her head."Where am I God?" She wondered internally. Her tongue was almost clipped to the roof and all she could pray for was to be free. She didn't know what to do. She was feeling tied down and helpless. "Don't move darling, you're about to join the people above, greet your beloved father." The man in scrubs said and she became afraid. The heart monitor beeped loudly and the doctor stared at it before glancing at her in horror."You are not supposed to be alive darling because you'll only endanger yourself. Why don't you use the same energy to make sure that you sing well when you get to heaven or hell? I can't wait to see you dancing with the people on high. I hear it's fun though, what do you think?"

Dominic was trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea and he hoped that he didn't hit his head. He smiled and sought a solution. It was as if this was a distraction and he was ready to make sure that he wasn't being played. "Are you sure that you're here for me?" He inquired. He didn't want a situation whereby he'd have to undergo a fight that would stop him from seeing through their escapades."I don't think that you're ready for what's about to hit you though. Now that you're trapped, what do you have to say?" Paul replied.Dominic considered his next movement, these men were heavily guarded, doing anything unseemly was surely going to backfire and with the way things were going, he was trying his very best to make sure that he didn't fall into their trap."Since you already have me in your custody, what else can I say other than surrender? What do you really want?" Paul wasn't satisfied with that reaction, he wanted to see Dominic get vexed and expend his energy on nothing

Dominic rose faster than lightning because he panicked, not knowing what to do when he saw the building on fire. There was no way that she could remain in that building, he was damn sure of that but that still didn't give him all the assurance that he needed because he was feeling very scared. This was very tricky and he only hoped that he hadn't made a mistake in his calculations.The other boss watched the General almost sink to his knees in despair because, for the very first time, he had been outsmarted, it wasn't a very palatable sight to behold but there was nothing that could be done about that. It was either that or he continued feeling invincible.Dominic gazed around in despair, his brain trying to process all that happened but nothing was even coming up, making him look a fool.

Upon touching down in Venice, he refused to be tired of the way people often loved to behave when they arrived at s strange place. It was almost as if everyone could spot that the person was new to town and that usually brought about not having access to the right information or being cheated. He knew that they were somewhere here but that didn't matter if he didn't find them. That was most important to him."Hi, what are you looking for?" A trader called after him and he looked up to see other traders staring at him and he switched to their language causing them to be astonished by the way that he was speaking as if he was a local "That way, I didn't know that you speak." The man replied with pure English but he still wanted to buy their trust because he knew that it wasn't going to turn out well if he just headed toward the city without having a form of belonging here.

Marcel tried to peep through his brother's phone when he saw his countenance suddenly grow cold. He didn't need anyone to tell him that there was a problem. "They've been taken right? Or are they dead?" Marcel panicked, causing him to roll his eyes at the attitude. There were other ways to act but his brother was taking the cake. A full grown man who was acting as if he didn't know that they were involved in a combat and that it didn't ease up just like that. "You don't need to worry about anything because I'll make sure that you don't suffer from anything. Just do what I ask that you should. So, will you be able to handle this information or I need to find another partner." "I don't think I can bear to live apart from the woman that I love so much."Dominic rolled his eyes at the whimpering attitude that his brother was portraying, other people would even barf at the ridiculousness because it truly was and he was ashamed of it. He would rather that there was something else that he
