The city of Zenith was home to a wealthy man named Samuel Blackwood, who had formed a secret organization called The order of the Elite Ten.The ten members of The order were all wealthy men from different parts of the country, carefully chosen by Samuel himself for their influence and resources.The meeting place of The Order was a hidden chamber beneath the Blackwood mansion. The meeting place of The order was a large, dimly lit room by flickering candles with high ceilings and thick, stone walls.The men were gathered around a long table. They all wore masks to conceal their identity and strange, oversized robes to hide their physique.This was to ensure that their meetings were kept secret and to protect their identities from potential enemies.The men were curious when they received the summons, as it happened rarely twice in a year. As they waited, they discussed their businesses and speculated about the purpose of the meeting.When the head of the organization arrived, the m
Nicholas noticed Julia's distant behavior and how she had been speaking to him less frequently since his marriage to Adriana and Lady Isabella. He couldn't help but feel confused and wondered if something had happened to her. Nicholas knew he needed to address this before they departed from Argatha city.As they departed, Lady Isabella flew to Helveta, while Nicholas took Julia along with him. He had an appointment with the Dutch family, whom he had kept aside for a long time because of his busy schedule with his wedding and the two cities, Helveta and Argatha. However, now that he had more time on his hands, he was going to meet the Dutch family and do business with them, just as he had promised.The Dutch family lived in Maplewood, a neighboring city off North Hills. Nicholas knew the Dutch family recognized Lord Niklaus as a woman, and in Maplewood and North Hills, no one knew his true identity. As such, Julia would have to play the role of Lord Niklaus.Nicholas had kept his
Julia's heart was racing as she stood before Nicholas in just her towel. They were in a hotel room, the two of them alone, and she had just confessed her feelings to him. The atmosphere was tense, and Nicholas was stunned. He hadn't expected this from her.He didn't know what to say. Nicholas had always thought of Julia as nothing but a loyal subject who had saved his life more than once. This was an unexpected announcement. Julia likes him? Where did that come from?Julia continued, her voice trembling, "I like you, Lord Niklaus. I've always secretly admired you. I want to become one with you. I want you to see me as a woman, not just your Subject."The silence between them was deafening as Julia waited for Nicholas's response. She felt vulnerable, and when he didn't say anything, she continued, "I'm sorry it took so long to relay my feelings across to you, Lord Niklaus. I was afraid you would reject me, and things would go awkward between us."Julia paused for a moment before c
The Order Of The Elite Ten were gathered once again, this time for the third time in the year. They sat in the dimly lit room, their expressions serious as they waited for their leader, Samuel, to begin the meeting.Samuel walked in and took his seat at the head of the table. He wasted no time in getting straight to the point. "We have been summoned again because of the latest development regarding the Phoenix bank frozen accounts."The members of the Order Of The Elite Ten started arguing with each other, their voices growing louder and more intense with each passing moment. Everyone was trying to put forward their own ideas on how to tackle the issue at hand."We shouldn't have interfered with the Phoenix family in the first place. Hiring those assassins to eliminate Lord Niklaus was a bad idea," 008 queried.005 stood up in support, "I agree to that. Let's not go any further with this, please. My businesses are suffering. I can't pay off my debtors because my account has been froze
Everyone's attention was focused on Sherry. So far so good, the amount she had offered was already more than what anyone had expected. Eight hundred million Phoenix Dollars?The auctioneer was taken aback, and the other bidders were staring at her in disbelief. But then, a stranger appeared out of nowhere and made an even higher bid. Sherry was furious. She had not planned to bid that high, but this man's challenge had angered her. She looked at him, and all she saw was a nobody. He was poorly dressed and had no business outbidding her. The auctioneer stuttered as he announced the new bid, "Eighty Million Phoenix Dollar, going once, going twice—" But before he could say sold, Nicholas suddenly spoke up, "One hundred and one Phoenix dollar." Sherry's jaws dropped. She could not believe what she was hearing. This pauper-looking man had just outbid her. And not just by a small margin, but by a huge amount. She stood up and protested, "You're one big mouthed man. Do you serious
Sherry hesitated for a moment but then, she began to unbutton her blouse, feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. Nicholas watched her with amusement, enjoying the power he had over her. Suddenly she stopped, "I can't do it."Nicholas wasn't taking no for an answer. She started this and now she's going to finish it. He got down from the bed and walked up to Sherry. It was not in his nature to womanize but in this case, he had to prove something to this arrogant prideful woman. She must be thoroughly punished. "On your knees," Nicholas ordered. Sherry quietly went down on her knees. Then Nicholas brought out his hard meat and said to her, "Use your mouth and worship my cock, bitch!"Sherry shut her eyes, using her hand and mouth, she obeyed Nicholas and sucked his cock dry. Then Nicholas pushed Sherry up against the wall, his hands tight around her wrists. Her heart was pounding as he pulled her arms above her head and held them there with one hand. His other hand trailed down
The capital city of Alveria, Stone Gate, was a grand sight to behold. It was the first city built on Alveria after it was discovered by it's founder in the late 16's. Its towering buildings and grand architecture spoke of a prosperous city. At night, the city was aglow with the warm light of city lights and the twinkling of stars in the sky. The house of the president of Alveria, shone in the distance, a beacon of power and authority. * * * *Julia adjusted her outfit in front of the mirror, checking that everything was in place. She was going to the strip club with the other girls, but before she left, she needed to talk to Nicholas. They were in a rented apartment, just the two of them. The other squad were dispatched to their respective position. As she made her way to his room, she rehearsed what she was going to say.When she found him, he was sitting on the bed, going through some papers."My Lord," she said, "I'd like you not to forget your
Thomas Bishop lay on the bed, gasping for air as Julia straddled him, her knife pressed against his throat. He had never been in such a precarious situation before, and he was completely out of his depth. He could only hope that he could talk his way out of it or that someone would come to his rescue. For now, he could only wait and see what Julia would do next.Sweat dripped down his face and his robe clung to his body, the result of his nervousness and fear."Please, spare me," he begged, his voice shaking. "I'd give you anything. Anything at all. Just spare me, please.""You're pathetic," Julia spat at him, her eyes flashing with anger. "What I want, you cannot give me."Thomas Bishop's mind raced as he tried to figure out how to handle this situation. He knew he couldn't call for help because his guards were nowhere to be found, and the loud music from the indoor pool would drown out any cries for assistance.Before he could even think of a way out, Julia's knife pressed harde

The grand doors of the throne room swung open with a resounding creak, drawing the attention of all who were gathered inside. The courtiers, advisers, and members of the phoenix family turned their heads towards the entrance, anticipation evident in their eyes. The room was filled with an air of both tension and hope, for this was the day when King Nicholas would make his return home. Nicholas, adorned in regal attire, stepped into the room with measured grace. Every eye was fixed upon him, their gazes filled with a mix of reverence and relief. His recovery from the treacherous poison that had nearly claimed his life had been nothing short of miraculous. He had defied all odds and emerged triumphant from the clutches of death, earning the unwavering loyalty and respect of his subjects.The king was dressed in a flowing royal blue velvet robe, intricately embroidered with golden thread that glinted in the light. A golden crown adorned his head, gleaming with precious gemstones,
As Nicholas lay unconscious at the base of the well, his mind engulfed in darkness, a faint voice called out to him. "Your highness. Your highness, wake up." The voice was familiar, like a distant echo penetrating his subconscious.Slowly, the sound seeped into Nicholas's unconscious state, stirring him from his slumber. His body felt heavy and his mind foggy, but the urgency in the voice compelled him to respond.With great effort, Nicholas opened his eyes, only to find himself surrounded by the cold, stone walls of a well. Confusion washed over him as he tried to piece together his fragmented memories.And then, like a beacon cutting through the darkness, he saw Julia's face.Her eyes were filled with tears, her expression a mix of relief and anguish."Julia?" Nicholas muttered, his voice hoarse and weak. "What... what's happening?"Tears dripped from Julia's eyes, falling softly onto Nicholas's face as she held him in her arms. "My lord, we found you. You're safe now," she whisp
After Nicholas had been thrown into the well, Rose ordered her men to close the opening, sealing him inside. The heavy stone slab slid into place, shutting off any glimmer of light from the outside world.Satisfied with her sinister act, Rose ascended the stairs, leaving the chamber behind.Returning to the upper floors of the castle, Rose made her way to a vantage point that overlooked the vast expanse of the sea. As she gazed into the distance, her thoughts swirled with a mixture of anticipation and a hint of trepidation.A wry smile curled on Rose's lips as she imagined Julia and her relentless pursuit.She knew the Phoenix family would be on her trail, to rescue Nicholas. But Rose was prepared. Even if they came with an army, she was unyielding and unafraid.In her mind, she played out various scenarios, envisioning the forces that could be marshaled against her.She reveled in the prospect of a battle, relishing the challenge that awaited. Rose was a woman consumed by her thi
Nicholas's mind raced with thoughts of escape with each steps he took. The air in the narrow tunnel was stale, suffocating, and the sound of their footsteps echoed ominously. It seemed like a desperate race against time.As they ventured deeper into the tunnel, they stumbled upon an unexpected sight. The passage suddenly widened, revealing a hidden opening that led to the vast expanse of the sea. Moonlight spilled through the opening, casting an ethereal glow on the churning waves below.Nicholas's heart skipped a beat at the sight. A motor boat, small yet sturdy, bobbed gently in the water, its engine idling. Rose's voice cut through the air, filled with sinister delight. "Oh, how touching. A family reunion at the precipice of doom. Nicholas, my dear, you get on board. Yumi and William will be staying behind."Nicholas turned to face Rose, his eyes burning with anger. "No, Rose! They have nothing to do with this. Let them go. It's me you want, isn't it?"Rose sneered, her grip t
A thick silence fell between Nicholas and William. Nicholas could sense his father grappling with the weight of this revelation. "You believe your mother is alive? How come? She couldn't have survived that Poison all these years."Just as Nicholas was about to speak, the door swung open, and Yumi emerged, her hands raised in surrender. A look of panic flashed across her face, mirrored by Nicholas and William's shocked expressions.Before anyone could react, Mariam stepped out from the shadows, holding her rifle with a steady hand, her eyes filled with determination. "Nobody move, or else I'll shoot!" she declared with a mix of desperation and resolve.Nicholas's voice quivered with confusion as he asked, "Mariam, what's the meaning of this? Why are you doing this?"As if on cue, another figure emerged from the darkness, accompanied by three imposing men. The shock reverberated through Nicholas and William as they recognized the figure leading the group – it was Rose, Nicholas's mo
Seated at the dining table, Nicholas, Yumi, and Mariam enjoyed a cup of freshly brewed coffee, its aroma filling the air with warmth and comfort. The atmosphere had transformed from initial tension to a sense of collaboration and shared purpose.Yumi, with a warm smile, introduced Nicholas to Mariam. "Mariam, may I present to you Nicholas, the King of The United Republic of Niklauria."Mariam bowed slightly, a mix of respect and curiosity evident in her expression. "Your Majesty, I have heard a great deal about you and have seen you on television. It's an honor to finally meet you in person."Nicholas returned the gesture with a nod, acknowledging her words. "The pleasure is mine, Mariam. I have come here in search of answers and a possible cure. I was poisoned by the viper's veil, and Mrs. Abigail offered to create an antidote for me."Mariam's eyes glistened with a mix of nostalgia and sadness. "My mother-in-law told me about your visit and your request, Your Majesty. She believed
Coughing and wheezing amidst the swirling dust and rumbling aftermath of the explosion, Nicholas and Yumi struggled to regain their composure.Nicholas, wiping away the dirt from his face, turned to Yumi. "What in the world just happened? Who could have done this?"Yumi coughed and replied, her voice hoarse. "Could it be... Mrs. Abigail's killer?"Nicholas nodded, his expression determined. "It's a possibility. Someone must have gotten to Hans, overpowered him, and orchestrated this explosion to seal us inside."Realizing the gravity of their situation as the dust gradually cleared, they surveyed their surroundings and discovered that they were indeed trapped within the secret chamber.Nicholas remained composed and calm. "We cannot afford to panic, Yumi. We need to find a way out of here."Yumi's eyes widened in concern. "But how? We're surrounded by collapsed walls. There's no visible exit."Nicholas's voice carried a note of reassurance. "There must be another way, a hidden passage
Fear gripped Hans's face as he stared at the gun pointed directly at him. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his heart raced uncontrollably, and his trembling hands betrayed his intense unease. The shadowy figure emerged further, revealing the person behind the weapon.Hans's shock only deepened as he found himself looking directly into the eyes of Rose. Her gaze was hardened, and she appeared like a fugitive on the run. His lips quivered as he called out her name, barely able to believe what he was seeing. "Rose... you're alive?"With the gun still trained on him, Rose responded with a cold, unwavering voice. "Yes, Hans. I survived, thanks to Nicholas's foolishness. He thought a small dose of poison would slowly end my life."Hans was trembling. "How... how did you manage to survive? After taking that poison, I thought..."Rose gaze hardened as she interrupted him. "I returned to Mrs. Abigail, who concocted a cure for me. From that moment on, I started planning my revenge ag
