The Emperor’s only Heir Chapter 60
Her eyes widened in confusion and shock! She couldn’t believe the sight of her empty pockets. Where was the letter she kept in her pocket just a few minutes ago??“Where is the letter?!” Lord Reynolds shouted, his voice sending vibrations across the room. He was getting impatient now.Elizabeth began to tremble uncontrollably, her chest heaving with each rapid inhalation as her face darted frantically across her surroundings. “The- the letter wa- was just here… it- it was just here- here in my pocket,” she stammered and looked up at her brother who slammed the table with his clenched fist and stood up abruptly.“How dare you come to my home and fabricate lies?!! How dare you??” he roared. He was so angry that his nose flared with each breath. “You think you can come here and destroy my home like you did yours?!”Elizabeth’s gaze shot at her brother. She couldn’t believe her brother would say such mean things to her. Hearing his last statement felt like a physical stab in her heart th

“Will you shut up!! How can you claim that the food my wife prepared for me was poisoned by my own wife!”Maria froze in shock and disbelief. She wanted to attack Elizabeth but she couldn’t find the words because she couldn’t comprehend how a person can be this relentless. After a moment, she finally found her words. “Elizabeth, why are you hell bent on destroying my home?” she whispered, her tone tinged with sadness.Elizabeth ignored her and faced her brother, “if you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you!”Without thinking twice, Lord Reynolds turned to the servants present and said in anger, “Throw her out, this minute.”With that, they went for Elizabeth and carried her to be thrown out. Suddenly she shouted, “Kill me if I’m wrong!”Was she really betting her life on this?The gravity of her words shook the grounds. Lord Reynolds signaled the royal servants to drop her. “You’ll sacrifice your life just because you want to prove a point?”“No brother, that’s not the point. I’

After Maria explained the events to Dario from her point of view, she continued,“So you and I ended up on the streets without anything. Without any help from anyone. Life was hell.” She heaved a sigh and continued, “And it got even worse when the word got around quickly and the few people that could recognize me, tried to take revenge on behalf of their emperor. So, I had to move us to another city too.”Dario had his hand covering his wide opened mouth and his eyes widened the whole time Maria was talking. How could a human being with blood running through their veins be this wicked?!!So Elizabeth was the reason for their years of pain and suffering??She did not only turn Lord Reynolds against them, she still tried to kill both Dario and Maria even after so many years of anguish, and there’s a possibility that she has a hand in the death of her own brother!Damn!Dario thought Elizabeth was ruthless because of everything she had done within the weeks of knowing her but with what h

Dario arrived at Galleria restaurant to have a meal as planned before heading home. He parked his car in the underground parking lot and walked to the entrance of the restaurant.On his way, he glanced at his watch for a second to check the time; he wanted to get home to Maria on time. But that split-second distraction was enough for him to bump into someone. Before he could look up and apologize, the person pushed him, making him stagger. “Are you blind?! Why not just say watch where you’re going! Ugh!”Dario realized it was a woman from the push and the high pitched voice. He knew he was at fault so he forgave the push and apologized, “I’m really sorry about that,” he said.As their gaze met, they both realized they knew each other. It was Delilah.What a coincidence.Delilah had been on her phone, chatting with her friends about her big day tomorrow when she bumped into Dario. Her wedding ceremony was finally happening tomorrow!“Delilah?”“Dario?!” Her eyes immediately narrowed i

Dario arrived at the venue, in his Mercedes Benz. He wore a gray sleek tailored suit and a pair of black classic leather shoes.After parking his car, he casually walked towards the entrance of the hall. And on his way, he saw Lauren and Tara coming towards the same direction as his, but from a distance. He hoped they wouldn’t see him but the Williams always have a way of spotting him anywhere. “See who shamelessly brought himself to my daughter’s wedding!” Tara shouted from a distance as she scurried to block Dario’s path. Immediately grandma Lauren locked eyes onto Dario, her face instantly twisted into sneers of contempt. “Well, well, well, if it isn’t the failure himself,” Tara spat, her voice dripping with disdain as she finally caught up to Dario.Dario didn’t bother leaving. He knew they would insult him and call him names after seeing him, but he didn’t mind. In his mind, he had a satisfactory smile plastered on his face as he watched them have the time of their life and w

As the guests settled down in their allocated chairs, the soft melody of love songs echoed in the background, setting the stage for the arrival of Delilah.

‘God please do something!!’Delilah’s breath came in shorter ragged grasps as the seconds passed. She couldn’t hold it in anymore, she needed to scream or else she might explode. Now, she didn’t care anymore. She was going to let it all out.She took in a long inhale and suddenly, the grand double doors burst open! Everyone’s gaze shot at the door and it was Cooper!Cooper was finally here! “He’s here!” she muttered, her eyebrows shot upward. “He’s here!” she repeated, a wave of relief instantly washing over here.

Chapter 202
Elizabeth’s anger boiled as she approached Dario too with calculated steps. Watching her soldiers fall one by one, crushed by the Persian Empire’s forces twisted her guts and she couldn’t stop thinking about it as she stared at Dario. ‘I’m going to kill you today!’ she thought to herself with fierce determination. She had made up her mind as her helicopter descended that either her or Dario would die today. And she was certain that she was not going to be the one.Dario on the other hand wondered who Elizabeth thought she was to land uninvited in his empire. The audacity was as outrageous as it was infuriating.‘Unwise audacity has always been her thing. When I’m done with her, she would wish she didn’t make this choice,’ Dario said to himself. Their gaze remained fixed on each other and time seemed slow. Suddenly, Elizabeth reached out to her gun and started shooting at Dario. The gunshots rang out across the premises, echoing in the ears of everyone around. But as the bullets s
Chapter 201
At the eastern border of the empire, the loud sounds from gunshots and clash of swords and shields filled the air. The soldiers from the Beth empire came ready and rained an attack on the Persian empire. But to their surprise, they weren’t as ready as the soldiers of the Persian empire. Elizabeth and her ally kingdoms had decided to rain an apocalyptic attack on Persian and had been planning this very attack for months. But unfortunately for Elizabeth, her trusted ally kingdoms opted out and failed her on the supposed day of the attack; today. They recognized Dario’s strength and power and knew that they wouldn’t dare!But despite being betrayed by her allies, Elizabeth was adamant on going on with the attack with her own men. A few of her allies tried to talk her out of it but they failed as she was determined to attack Persian without a heads up or a warning. “Y’all are so obsessed with us,” a Persian soldier sneered at one of Beth’s soldiers, looking down at his lifeless body
Chapter 200
Dario let his gaze wander around the throne room, taking in the majesty that surrounded him. Every single thing around was a testament to his journey.He closed his eyes and leaned back against the throne, allowing his mind to drift and be filled with the memories of his past. The thoughts of days when he had nothing, when survival was a daily struggle, and he and Maria had to scavenge abandoned leftovers on the street. Those days, when they returned to their home on the street after going out to scavenge for food, Maria would ask, “what did you find?”And Dario would also ask, “Were you able to get plenty?”The bitter cold nights coupled with the gnawing hunger and the hopelessness that often threatened to consume him. But he also remembered the moment things got a little bit better; when Sir Davis miraculously came around. It was still hard but it got better. Life was humiliating and filled with insults until everything suddenly turned around for good. From a ‘nobody’ one night,
Chapter 199
SEVEN MONTHS LATER…The air of the mansion was thick with the scent of power and influence as the President and his associates discussed with Dario in the throne room.“Mr Dario,” the president continued, “again, thank you for seeing us on such short notice.” Dario returned a smile as bright as the President’s, nodding and said, “It’s always a pleasure, Mr President. Please, to what do I owe this pleasure?”The president glanced at his associates with relief evident on his face and answered, “I will just cut to the chase. We’re here today because over the past months, it has become clear what the people have chosen.”Dario took a second to try to understand what exactly the president meant and was driving at. “What the people have chosen?” he asked. “Yes, Mr Dario. And by this, I mean the people in the entire country.”“Okay,” Dario answered, dragging his word and waiting for the president to continue talking.“The truth is that, I have always admired you since the presidential cont

Blake’s mouth went dry instantly as his eyes shot at Dario. He could hear his heart pounding so hard in his ears. “Y… your… your Ma-“ With Dario’s eyes still locked with Blake’s, he added, “Thank you for everything. You know what I mean by everything.” After his statement, he smiled and chuckled at Blake. “You… your majesty,” he stammered and swiftly cleaned the sweat on his forehead with his sweaty palms. “I- I don’t know what you’re talking about, Your Majesty,” he lied, his voice shaking. “Oh, really?” Dario asked, his brows slightly stretched upward. He then looked down and said, “Oh, Blake-“ The next second, Dario raised his head and glared intensely at Blake. His face was now tense and focused, conveying anger and intense annoyance. “There is no need to lie. And trust me, I’m not going to accommodate your lies one more time,” he added, his jaw clenched tight, making the muscles of his face look more pronounced. “You!” Dario shouted and placed the tip of his pocke
Chapter 197
The room fell silent as everyone exchanged puzzled glances before slowly disappearing. They knew something was off with Dario’s demeanor.There was a sudden change and they could all feel it. “Ethan! Evan!” Natalie called out to the boys, signaling with her hand for them to come to her. Just like expected, they both ran to her. “Let’s go get ready for dinner, my loves,” she said and led them out of the throne room while Bruce also followed.When everyone left and Dario finally turned back to face Blake, Blake wished the moment of everyone leaving lasted forever. ‘Why does he suddenly want to have a private conversation with me?’ Blake wondered as his stomach churned, but he maintained his smile. Dario took a moment to stare at Blake with a smile still lingering on his face. For some reason, the smile scared Blake the most. “Your Majesty,” Blake said, eager to fill the silence, “I just want to say again how incredible and magnificent you are. The way you-“Abruptly, Dario cut him
Chapter 196
Blake left Elizabeth’s living room with a heavy heart and his hand clutched to his crimson red cheek. And at the back of his mind, he knew that the stakes had never been higher. Before he left her house, Elizabeth had given Blake a sound and stern warning. After Elizabeth landed a hot and thunderous slap on Blake’s face, he looked up at her with fear flickering in his eyes as she rained blames on him. He couldn’t believe that after everything, Elizabeth shifted all the blame to him, but what could he do?“You must find a way to eliminate that rat!” she exclaimed, her gaze boring into his.“How?” Blake asked her, his voice a little above a whisper. “Emperor Dario will be on high alert now. Getting close to him or doing anything will be nearly impossible.”“I… don’t… care… how you do it,” she hissed, taking her time to say every word as she stared down at him. “You must find a way. You do whatever it takes, even if you lose your life in the process…”Blake’s eyes widened at Elizabeth
Chapter 195
*roar!!*Dario roared loudly, beating his chest with his other hand while King Nathan’s head was raised high with his other hand.He paused and moved the head from his left to the right in an attempt to show everyone what he had done. With his face stern, he roared again, pride evident in his demeanor as he beat his chest continuously.The more he roared, the louder the cheers of his people and supporters.Watching, Natalie couldn’t have been more proud of Dario. Her lips were spread into a very wide smile that her cheeks were starting to hurt. She clapped her hands non stop and screamed happily as her gaze never left Dario. Without even doing so much, Dario achieved victory. The Persians truly aren’t losers. “By the right of conquest,” Dario began, as everyone suspended their cheers to hear what he had to say. He continued, “ALL! that was King Nathan’s now bongs to me!” he declared, his words echoing across the entire area as cheers erupted again. This time, the cheers were eve
