“What the hell are you saying, Lily?” Stefano said in a whisper. “Didn’t you hear that Ellen is the commander of the strongest kingdom?”"Are you even thinking?" Stefano angrily exclaimed at Lily. “If Ellen found out what you’ve been scheming, not only you’ll die, but the whole family would also!” he added.“I’m just saying, father. Aren’t you mad that he’s wrap us around his finger? We have been fooled and I bet he also fooled Sophie too!”“Stop it, Lily!” Selena said gripping lily’s hand tightly, pulling her to her side. With gritted teeth, Selena whispered to her, “I already felt bad that I did those things to Ellen and called him names! I don’t want this situation to escalate even more!”“We have to be on his good side from now on!” she said. “We have to find a solution to make up for what we’ve done to Ellen.”“Your mom is right. We’ve done enough damage on Ellen. We need to be on his good side now.” Stefano added. Lily couldn’t help but roll her eyes to what her parents saying.
"Commander what should we do with them?" Vox asked as he was ready to grab his sword and slit their throat.Ellen looked at them and asked them. "What do you want?""I'll kill them for you!" Vox said and drew his sword ready to slit their throat."Stop it!" Ellen stopped Vox on time and be back off after that.The fear in their eyes was shown when they saw that they almost died by sword. So, they have back away for a moment."Commander these people have kept on bullying you since day one. I don’t even understand why you kept them alive. Because if someone has done it to you, you would surely kill them with your own hands. They should have died the moment they open their mouth," Vox tried to reason."Mom! Dad!" Lily pulled her parents as she gulped seeing that Vox was not joking.Ellen glared at Vox and said. "Don't forget that they are the family of Sophia that is the only thing that was keeping them alive right now. If Sophia doesn't even care about them, I will not let them live the
“Mother! Mother!”Selena shouted as they make their way into their main house. After the confrontation with Ellen and his subordinate, Stefano said that they will visit some other time and come back home immediately because the situation is getting worse.Stefano doesn’t want their relationship with Ellen severe and the only thing they could do is to fall back and regroup to discuss what they have to do from now on.“Mother!” Selena yelled as she barges inside the chairman’s office.“What is it? Are you planning to wreck my hundred-dollar door? Calm down, will you?!” the chairman said as she sips her tea.She sits upright in her seat, unaware of what her family knows about Ellen. The revelation that Ellen is a god, their son-in-law, would surely both shock and delight their grandmother.“Mother I have good news and bad news!” Selena said.“What do you want to hear first?” Stefano asked."Can we just reveal the truth and then strategize how to handle the aftermath?" Lily suggested with
“This won’t do, Commander. We have to get rid of them.”Vox said after they went inside Ellen’s office. Ellen sits on his chair in front of his table and sigh heavily. He can see that Vox is anxious about Sophie’s parents knowing Ellen’s true identity.“Can you stop walking back and forth, I’m dizzy just by looking at you.” Ellen said as he rests his back on his chair.“I’m also anxious about this situation.” He said after he sits up again. “Part of me wanted to get rid of them but if I do that, Sophie wouldn’t forgive me.”“We had this huge fight because of her family recently and I learned that even if she treats them like this, she can’t still let go of the bond she has with her family.”Vox gritted his teeth, “But commander, you told me that you wouldn’t let any humans manipulate and blackmail you again.”“I did,”“Then why are you just letting it go?! I can see their true intentions commander! I know they won’t settle around now that they know who you truly are!”“That family is
One week after the incident of revealing Ellen’s identity, Ellen now is back from office. These past few days there’s no movements from the Alexiou’s except that same day when they knew who he really was.Ellen discovered that their system had been breached and someone was hacking into it. Classified data regarding his companies and important contracts hadn't been stolen; only information about him had been compromised.Ellen knew it was the Alexiou who did it, but he let it go, he knew that the chairman wanted to confirm if what she heard is really true. Despite his suspicions, Ellen decided not to confront the Alexiou family directly about the breach.He expects that one of these days, the chairman would make a move but it’s been a week and there’s no action from their end. Ellen thought they must have planning something big this time and he couldn’t wait.And if they really made a move, Ellen is already prepared. He is one step ahead from them and wouldn’t let himself be manipulate
Ellen went home on time, when he opens the door, he was greeted by his lovely wife in a long cute maternity dress.“Welcome home, my love!” Sophie excitedly said. Ellen chuckles and embrace her.Ellen kneels and kisses Sophie’s belly, “How’s my little Sen? You didn’t trouble mommy when I’m not around?” Ellen asked with a smile. Ellen looks up and stare at his wife, smiling back at him.“Let’s have dinner together,” Sophie said with a smile.Sophie pulls him towards the dining table and proudly presents the dishes on the table. Sophie pulls the chair for Ellen to sit, he hesitated but eventually sat down.Sophie smiled and sat across from Ellen, “Look I cook all our favorite!” Sophie said excitedly.“What’s the occasion?” Ellen asked and started eating, “Uhm! This taste delicious love!”Ellen devoured the meal like it was his last and Sophie couldn’t help but be giddy as he watched Ellen’s reaction to her food.“I just wanted to cook for you for once before I give birth to Sen,” Sophie
It’s been two days since the office incident with the chairman. Ellen is currently visiting their house because Sophie’s family keeps pestering her on inviting Ellen over to chat.Sophie couldn’t help but be excited because finally her long time wish that they accept Ellen is finally coming true. Their relationship is slowly improving but deep inside Ellen is disgusted by how he was treated now by the Alexiou.Right now, Ellen and Sophie are walking to the Alexiou main house towards the garden to enjoy the imported rare tea that Daniel, Lily’s husband, got from his business partner overseas.“Ah! My daughter and son!” Selena greeted as she stands up to approach Ellen and Sophie.Ellen smile as if it didn’t make Selena’s greeting made him want to puke his guts out. It’s strange to be treated right by them.“Hello mother!” Sophie said with a wide smile. Selena kisses her cheek to cheek and was about to kiss Ellen too, but Ellen raises his eyebrow on her that made Selena flinched and pau
The talked between them suddenly changed into how Sophie is and what the baby needs. Sophie said that everything is already taken care of and they don’t need to add more things to their nursery room because it is already full of Sen’s things and what their child needed.“What about your check-up? I wanted to accompany you and hear about my grandson's well-being!” Selena exclaimed.“I'd also like to join and bring him some more educational toys. Which hospital and doctor are you visiting?” Stefano added."I know several excellent OB-GYNs, and I can arrange for you to be admitted to the top hospital here in Kester City," the chairman offered.Ellen quietly listened as he savored his tea, though he couldn't fully enjoy its flavor due to its improper brewing. Only people of the northern land of his country can brew this tea, if not properly brewed, it leaves a bitter aftertaste. The sweetness and the aroma of the tea is still overpowering but when you drink water after this, you can taste
