Sophie woke up without Ellen again by her side. Lately Ellen is spending more time outside the country and in the office rather than their home. Sophie understands that he needed to do this in order to maintain the company and show the people who look down on him that he is capable and deserving of his position as the president and as Sophie’s husband.However, Sophie couldn’t help but feel lonely. She gets up and ready for the day. When she got downstairs, the mansion felt empty. The maid who greets her, stops. “Where is Emilia?”The look in the face of the maid remained stoic with a business-like smile and said, “Mss. Emilia said she was busy with something, if you like something you can just ask us and the head maid madam.”Sophie nodded and the maid excuses herself. When Sophie was left alone in the living room, she felt even more lonely. Sophie shakes her head, “This is just hormones.” She said to herself and rubbed her belly.“Sen, what do you want for lunch?” she said lovingly
When Sophie arrived at the living room, she saw their maids lineup and their head maid and butler at the side.“The two maids who block me on the way inside.” She started. “Come forward,” Sophie looks at them with a blank face.All the maids look at each other, hesitating to come forward. “I said come. Forward.” She said calmly but the maids can see that Sophie is just holding back while gritting her teeth.“Head maid,” Sophie called, and the head maid understood immediately and grabbed the two maids. The two maids come forward with a proud look on their face.Without any word Sophie slapped the two maids in front of their colleagues. “How dare you,” she started.“You have the guts to look proud in front of me. How dare you block my path and prevent me from going inside?!” she lashes out.The two maids angrily look at Sophie, “We were just following orders Ms. Sophie. Just ask the head maid,” one of them said.Sophie gritted her teeth and slapped her again. “The chairman ordered us to
Ellen woke up in an unfamiliar room. He looked beside him and saw no one, “Where the hell am I?” Ellen asked himself. Ellen sat up and massaged his temples.“What an awful morning,” Ellen said while silently cursing himself. He looks at the clock on his bedside table and notices it’s still early in the morning.Ellen sighs, “What the hell happened last night? How did I get here?” Ellen asked as he ran his hands on his face to wake him up.His entire body felt peculiar, a sticky sensation clinging to him. Ellen attempted to recollect the events of the previous night, but all he could recall was drinking at a bar and becoming unusually intoxicated. He couldn't believe how swiftly he'd gotten drunk, especially since he had cut back on alcohol consumption upon learning of Sophie's pregnancy.“I should get up,” Ellen said. He immediately stands up. His eyes narrowed down to his lower half and realized he was naked. “What the f*ck?”His heart pounding in his chest, Ellen couldn't help but a
Sophie woke up when she heard her mother groan. She looked at her and saw her mother’s eyes finally open after sleeping for twenty-four hours.“Mom,” she carefully called out to her. Sophie’s mother looks at her with a confused look on her face. Sophie smiled at her and gently sat beside her. “You’re finally awake. How are you feeling?”“Sophie?” her mother cried out in a weak voice. Tears started to form in her eyes, and so did Sophie’s. They burst into tears when they tried to console each other.“Mom, I’m glad you’re okay!” Sophie said. The doctor entered right on time to check up on Sophie’s mother and is shocked because finally, the madam is awake.“Pardon me, Ms. Sophie, but I need to check up on her to see if she’s really okay?” the doctor said. Sophie nodded and let the doctor do what he needed to do.“Is she alright?” Sophie asked.She had been so worried about her mother ever since the accident. Seeing her awake was a huge relief, but she couldn't shake off the fear of what
Ellen aimlessly drives out of town. He wanted to cool off his head before returning home, he didn't want to make a mistake he might regret later. Ellen knows that this isn’t the best action to do but he couldn’t bring himself to turn back just yet.Not like this at least, he thought. Ellen’s phone rang and he connected the call to his car before answering. “What is Vox?” he asked.“Where are you right now?” Vox said. Ellen can sense the seriousness of Vox's tone.“What is it?”Vox sighs before he answers, “There’s some idiot who attacks our village in the southern part of our territory.”“Let Sedan handle it,” Ellen replied. “It’s time for him to learn how he handles things.”“That’s what I thought too but after learning who’s behind it I don’t think Sedan can handle it on his own.”Ellen frowned, who might be strong enough to challenge his strength and power after the war broke out from Martavia. “Who is it?” Ellen asked.“It’s the God of Love, Amoris,” he declared. Ellen smirks, wha
Ellen crashed into one of the buildings, collapsing under the rubble. All three of them, Lyric, Vox, and Sedan look at their commander with a worried look.Ellen stood up like it was nothing, removing the debris that fell over him and brushing off the dust from his shoulders. Ellen looks at the heart stone golem that’s waiting for him. Ellen didn’t get any scratches or broken bones from the golem's attack. He managed to block his head with his hands before the golem launched its attack.“Commander!” the three called out in unison. Ellen saw the golem running towards him. He picks up a stone brick from the rubles and scans where the golem's weakness is.Fire wouldn’t cut it, that’s why Amoris created a lot of them because it could stand a fire. Ellen smirk, “If my fire won’t work, perhaps a stone like itself will.” Ellen said while tossing the stone he picked up, up and down.Ellen wondered what that red stone was on its chest, and in an instant, he knew what he needed to do to kill th
"Vox!" Ellen's voice echoed through the chaos. “What in the world are you doing?”“Come back here!” Ellen lunged towards Vox, but he found himself surrounded by his enemies. “F*ck, Vox!”Despite Ellen's calls, Vox seemed oblivious, fixated on Amoris, whose eyes continued to glow ominously. Despite this, he continuously calls out for Vox in order for him to regain Vox control over his body.Ellen grabs the enemy’s weapon and uses it against them. The number of enemies surrounding him doubled making it not easier to catch up with Vox.Cursing under his breath, Ellen pondered, "Is he being manipulated?" He slashed through his opponents, his mind racing with worry."Commander!" Lyric's voice pierced through the chaos. They were completely surrounded, facing overwhelming enemies all at once. “What's happening to Vox?” she demanded.As she fought her way towards Ellen, Lyric voiced her suspicions. “Could it be... a love spell?”"A love spell?" Ellen repeated, furrowing his brow in confu
“F*ck!”Ellen cursed under his breath. He had been so close to capturing Amoris, yet he let her slip away. Frustrated, he angrily removed his armor vest and let it drop to the ground. Closing his eyes, he tried to reign in the anger simmering inside him, massaging his temples to ease the tension.Taking a deep breath, Ellen forced himself to calm down. He couldn't afford to let his emotions cloud his judgment. Opening his eyes, he glanced around, his mind already racing with plans to deal with the situation.One of his men approached him, concern etched on his face. "Commander, what do you plan to do next?" he inquired. Ellen let out a sigh before replying."We'll do what we've always done," Ellen began, his voice heavy with determination. "Gather all their dead bodies and display them outside our walls. It's been too long since we've enacted this ritual. We need to remind them of the consequences of daring to invade our territory."He scanned the area, his gaze steely. "Leave nobo
