2024-12-06 14:53:22When Clyde got out of the building, he found Clarissa waiting for a cab. He walked up to her. He sighed in his heart. He could not believe his marriage ended just like that.
He understood Clarissa's worries; women liked the typical strong alpha rich men. Men strong enough to shield them from harm, and also rich enough to provide their needs. He was strong no doubt, but he wasn't rich (at least in this fake life of his). This was the reason Clarissa left him. He bore no animosity towards her, despite what the old man inside the courthouse had said. “Clarissa, I wish you the best in life. I hope you find someone who will love you as much as I do, and who will take good care of you. You truly deserve to live a good life.” Clyde said with sincerity. He truly loved Clarissa, if things were in his power, he would have told her about his real identity a long time ago, but sadly he couldn't say anything about it. So right now he was trying to soothe her feelings and show that he understood her predicament, but to his surprise, Clarissa simply sneered. “Of course I found someone who would take good care of me. I also found someone who's ready to splash thousands of trium on me. You think all men are as useless as you are?” She sulked. Flustered, Clyde’s lips parted, “Hah!, why say more?” “You think after wasting a year of my life with you, I would accept another slum dweller's marriage proposal? You really are delusional. And yes I deserve to live a good life, which is why I want to stay as far away from you as possible lest you infect me with your pauper sickness!” She kept on yelling. “Only God knows what I would have become if I spent another year with you. Gods! I was blind and dumb to have accepted your proposal and foolish to have believed your promises. You know what Clyde, getting married to you Clyde, was the biggest mistake I ever made!” Clarissa spewed out a lot of hurtful words at Clyde. If a stranger was there, they would think Clyde had truly been a good for nothing or not a suitable husband for any woman. Clyde smiled bitterly. He was utterly hurt by all Clarissa said. The love he has cherished for the past one year was now discarded as trash. He only had to live a simple life for three years, and after two years, he thought it was best to get married, which he did.. but now. Where had he gone wrong? He never cheated on her, he always made sure to show how much he loves her in the best way he could. He defended her from muggers and touts. And now, all because he could not buy her a Lamborghini Aventador, a BMW X7 or get her designer clothes from Hermes and Chanel. Was her love for him genuine? Was her love for him based on materialistic things? Perhaps the middle-aged man and his PA were right, she doesn't deserve to be his wife. Perhaps she never even loved him. Clyde's heart got crushed as he began to realize that he never really mattered to her, none of the sacrifices he made for her sake mattered.. He was just a low slum dweller to her.. and this realization, coupled with her hurtful words cut him deeply. As Clyde stared at Clarissa's sneering face, Clyde's love for Clarissa began to diminish at a fast rate till it vanished into thin air. He no longer felt anything for this materialistic woman in front of him. And even if she begs him later, he won't ever accept her back. Right then, an expensive car stops by Clarissa's side.. It was a blue BMW X7, and out came a short bald man with a big belly, unrelated to Clarissa in any way. This man could not be classified as handsome. He was so ugly with crooked teeth. Clyde recognized this man as the son of the general manager of the OLR company (Omega Lorenzo Royalty) he works at with Clarissa.. his name was Seth Mandeep, son of Nicholas Mandeep who was the general manager of the company. Seth Mandeep was a well known playboy. It was unclear how he managed to hook the ladies to his side despite his unhidden ugliness. “Darling, you are here.” Clarissa greets Seth with a sweet smile on her face. She walks towards him in a seductive manner towards Seth. 'Women who suddenly find faults in you and request for separation have one thing in common; they have found someone else and seek to ditch their former lover' the middle-aged man's words rang in Clyde's mind immediately he saw this. “This can't be happening, right?” Clyde muttered to himself. “Oh love, you look simply stunning.” the ugly short Seth said while showing a smile that only made his face look like rat's shit. Surprisingly Clarissa didn't think much of it, but instead flashed a seductive smile. Clyde stood a bit farther from them as he witnessed a scene he never ever thought could be possible. “Was she going to go with this stature of a man just because she's greedy?” He mumbled to himself. Unable to believe his eyes, he only waited to see what was to happen next.

Clyde couldn't believe Clarissa dumped him for an ugly cow. The problem wasn't him not being lovable or caring or not doing his best.. no, the problem was Clarissa had already been cheating on him because she simply was just a materialistic woman who saw nothing but money.Clyde couldn't believe this! He now knew exactly why Clarissa suddenly asked for a divorce; Clarissa was cheating on him, and when Seth couldn't bear to keep it a secret anymore, Clarissa then demanded for a divorce.. it all made sense now!He had been cuckolded without even knowing. When did it start? How long have they been having sex behind his back? Three months? Four months?Anger and hatred welled up in his heart for these two in front of him. Clyde looked at Clarissa's smiling face as she blushed and held Seth's arm as if it was a bag full of trium.. perhaps it was.His mind immediately flashed back once again to what the middle-aged man had said.“I once had a wife who didn't see me as a nice fit for her.

Seth and Clarissa came out of the car, irritated and ready to have a fierce quarrel with the Cybertruck driver.. Seth had a reason for this; he knew that if he pleaded, he might get off with a fine, but he didn't have the funds to pay a heavy amount of such fine.. this was a Cybertruck limo for crying out loud.Unknowingly, the driver of the Cybertruck limo was actually the Personal Assistant and Adjutant of Clyde. Danielle was driving one of the most expensive cars in the world.. what's a Lamborghini Aventador or a BMW X7 compared to a Cybertruck.. and not just any Cybertruck, but a Cybertruck limo.Danielle had come pick up Clyde. She has received a call from the Royal family to bring Clyde back to the palace as the Empress sought to comfort her son. Danielle didn't even glance at Clarissa nor the fuming Seth, rather she went straight to Clyde and performed the courtesy bow.“Young lord, I am glad you seem fine.” she said as soon as she raised her head.“I thought you'd come tomorro

He was like a dazzling laser light, attracting attention wherever he went.He had taken the sports car to cruise the highway of Gold City and clear his head. After all he's been through, he didn't want to take any more chances.After a while, Clyde came to a public parking lot. He stepped out of the car. He wanted to scream out his frustration, but he knew it would be impossible to do so. How could he not see that he was being led on? He was being cheated on by the woman he loved most. And for what? Just a few thousand trium? What's a few thousand trium compared to the billions he had?'I have to calm down. First of all, let me park this car someplace safe, I need to trek for a bit and plot out a plan on how deal with Seth and make them regret ever going against him.Clyde rushed back to his car, entered and drove off towards one of the most famous five star hotel in Gold City.[MAJORDOMO FIVE STAR BAL HARBOUR RESORT.

Clyde took a cab to the Omega Lorenzo Royalty company building. He knew what he had to do, but how to do it and get the best result was what he contemplated on.'I think I should call Danielle, she will give me the best idea there is.' he thought as he took out his phone and dialed a number.“Sir, do you need for anything?” Danielle's voice rang forth.“Yes. I want take over the Omega Lorenzo Royalty company. Make it happen. Also replace Seth's father with one of our trusted person.” Clyde spoke in a serious authoritative tone.“Hohohoho!” Danielle chuckled“The young master is out for revenge. I love it. I will get it done in just an hour.” Danielle replied.“Good, I will be waiting for your call in an hour then.” Clyde said and disconnected the call. He then walked over to the cafe nearby for a cup of coffee while he waits for Danielle's call.He was in the cafe when he saw Seth's BMW pull up at the front parking lot. Then he saw Clarissa and Seth holding hands lovingly and walked r

“What young master!?” Seth questioned manager Howard.“How can you call this lowly slum dweller 'young master'? Don't be deceived by this conman. He's nothing but a poor and wretched slum dweller.” Seth's frustration was already piled up.“Are saying I don't know who my Boss is?” Mister Howard questioned with a frown on his face. He was clearly angry at Seth's rambling, but this only excited Clyde more.'The higher they are, the bigger they fall.'Clyde felt someone staring at him, he turned around and saw Clarissa's eyes on him. She had this thoughtful expression on her face as if she was finally comprehending all that was happening.“Your Boss!? What Boss!? Let me elaborate these to you Mister Howard! That man sitting there is the full definition of poverty. If he was rich enough to buy this building, then he won't be living in that shack at the slums!” Seth then turned to Clarissa.“If he was so rich, it won't be easy for me to get under the pant of his wife! He's so poor that hi

BADOOM!It felt as if an atomic had been dropped on Seth. He certainly could not believe what he was hearing; did the slum dweller just told him to clear out his office or else he would call security? No, he must have misheard. There's no way that the low sonofabitch who used to work as cleaner will suddenly become the Boss.'And where the hell is Dad!?' Seth could not help but panic. Just then the door opened and Seth's father stepped in.Mister Mandeep was average in height and bald, he was just a little above fifty but now he looked like he's aged eighty.“Dad! Right on time. This trash here says he now owns the company and he even had the guts to ask me to clear out my office in five minutes else he would call security to throw me out.” Seth laid out his complain but his father didn't even once glance at him. Mister Mandeep's attention was on the plain clothed handsome man who could pass out as any street bum, but he knew better. This man in front of him was Clyde Darkfang, heir t

Seth stood there, holding the phone to his ear, his mind struggling to process what had just happened. The words from the bank manager seemed like a bad joke: his accounts, his entire wealth, were frozen indefinitely. There was no way this was real.“What the hell is this!?” Seth yelled at the now silent phone, his voice trembling with disbelief. His grip tightened, as if the pressure could somehow reverse the bank’s decision. His heart raced, and he could feel the anger and panic rising like a tidal wave.He glanced at his father, expecting some kind of support, but Mister Mandeep’s face was ashen. The old man was staring at the floor, wringing his hands as if trying to wish away the nightmare unfolding around them.“Dad! Tell them to fix this! Tell them that this is a mistake!” Seth’s voice cracked as he turned to Mister Mandeep. But his father remained silent, too terrified to utter a word.In the silence that followed, Clyde’s calm voice cut through the tension.“Everything you’ve

CheckmateSeth furiously stared at Clyde, anger smoke oozing from his ears and nose. If stares could kill, his was definitely throwing daggers at Clyde. “How dare you!!” He roared and opted to get physical with him. The security men around held him down immediately. He struggled to be set free but they held him in strong bonds, he only managed to throw fists in the air. “How dare you lock up all my accounts and funds! Who do you think you are, huh? You wreck!You'll pay for this! Mark my words!” He threatened, pointing fingers at him.“Take him out of my company. I don't need a psycho in my business premises.” Clyde said nonchalantly_ obviously he wasn't bothered by any of these at all.“You heard the Boss! Get this filth out of here!” Mr. Howard yelled at the security guards when he noticed their sluggishness. They quickly picked Seth up in the air and carried him out of the company.“This isn't over Clyde! You hear! This isn't over!! I'll deal with you! You haven't seen the last of m

The helicopter roared above the ground, its blades slicing through the air with a deafening intensity. The sheer force of the rotating blades stirred the earth below, sending plants swaying wildly and loose leaves spiraling into the air. Dust and debris danced in the chaotic wind, creating a haze around the landing zone.One after the other, five military men descended from the aircraft, each gripping tightly onto a thick, sturdy rope. Their movements were swift but precise, their bodies clad in fully knitted tactical gear designed for the mission ahead. The black helmets, bulletproof vests, and camouflage patterns blended seamlessly with the dim light of the forested area.Their boots hit the ground with a muted thud, each man landing in a crouched position, weapons at the ready. The soldiers immediately fanned themselves into formation, their eyes scanning the area with hawk-like vigilance. The tension in the air was palpable as the craft blades above continued their furious rotatio

In her memories_ she could recall how his face fell on her intently, and how all eyes were on them at the gala. His softened gaze broke the walls around her heart and he ushered himself in without permission.She remembered the feel of his lips when she crashed hers on his in front of Clarissa.Her tongue swam through her lips, wetting it. But then_she reminded herself that she was just an ordinary assistant.Instead of dwell in self loathe, her mind tried to figure out a way out of the distress. She thought about a thousand and one thing then suddenly, a very brilliant idea crossed her mind.Still in chains, she counted the numbers of guards at the exits and around. She realizes she won't be able to out do all of them on her own. So she started strategizing how to get out of there.*It was midnight.There night was dark as coal serve for the moon that gave off a little light.Her shut eyes opened up abruptly, woken by her instincts.

The day was hot, the sun shone over the battlefield. Blood stained the ground, smoke curled into the sky, and the scent of death filled the air. But Clyde had no time for the fallen. His heart thundered in his chest as he gripped his sword tighter.Danielle was gone.Again.Clyde inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay calm. Anger was useful, but only if controlled. His vision sharpened, his mind focused. There was no room for failure. Whoever took her, whoever dared to use her as bait would learn the true wrath of the Darkfang Clan.He turned to his men, their faces streaked with blood and sweat."Spread out," he ordered, his voice cutting through the night air. "Track every scent, every footprint. Someone knows where they took her.""Yes, Master!" they responded in unison before dispersing like shadows into the ruined battlefield.Clyde’s earpiece crackle."Master, we found a lead," Walex’s voice came through."Talk.""A survivor.

A tense silence filled the grand hall of the Kylain stronghold. Clyde stood at the center, his dark eyes locked onto the Kylain leader. The air crackled with tension, but what held his attention the most were the men standing behind the leader, some mercenaries, not Kylain warriors. They were heavily armed, their faces concealed by masks, their weapons gleaming under the dim chandelier light.A third party?Someone else had entered the fight and tried to sabotage our plans.Clyde exhaled sharply. He had anticipated resistance, but this was different. The Kylains had brought outside forces into their war. This wasn’t just a clan dispute anymore."Who are they?" Clyde asked, his voice calm but sharp.The Kylain leader smirked. "You thought this was between us? You underestimate the reach of those who desire the throne."Clyde clenched his jaw. He didn’t like surprises, and this reeked of something bigger."Your father made many enemies, boy," the leader continued. "And you? You are just

Clyde stood in front of the large glass window in his chamber, hands behind his back, his mind lost in thought. The night sky was dark, but the moon cast a faint silver glow across the city. From here, he could see the vastness of his estate, the territory of the Darkfang Clan stretching beyond the horizon.Tonight would mark the beginning of a war that had been brewing for years.Danielle’s face flickered through his mind again. The thought of her trapped in Seth’s hands made his jaw clench. He should be the one to get her out. He should be the one by her side, but he couldn't afford to risk the mission. If things went wrong, Danielle would suffer, and he wouldn’t allow that.A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts."Come in," he ordered, his voice steady.Craig entered, his expression serious. "Everything is set. We’ll be moving in an hour."Clyde turned to face him. "Good."Craig hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Are you sure about splitting the team like this

“He also said you once saved his life from a fire incident so he feels indebted to you and is willing to help you with this information but_you only and no one else. So far, he seems willing to share some information about Seth, his location and where he is keeping Danielle hostage.” Craig explained.Clyde looked at the man intently, his face not striking any resemblance. Yet he was right about one thing. He did save a number of people from a fire accident long time ago but he harldy recalled anything significant about that event and barely remembered the faces of those he saved or how they looked like.Perhaps he could be telling the truth_part of his facial skin folded upon each other—depicting a once upon a time fire victim. The scars were still there and didn't seem to ever go away.“How sure are you that we should trust this man? This could be a trap!” He said, his face portraying no emotion.“He works as one of Seth's men.” Craig replied.Clyde's eyes narrowed as he looked at th

He sighed and pinched his nose bridge. “Danielle has been kidnapped.” He said calmly, his breath was sharp and deep, finally he got himself to say it.They stood, quiet and calm, their faces betrayed no emotion.“What?” Clyde was agitated. “Won't you guys say something?” He asked, annoyance evident in his tone.“We're waiting for your orders, Young master.” They responded calm and professional.He sighed.They were right—his orders.He should've handled this professionally and less emotional just as he was taught in training than let sentiment cloud his judgement and thinking.“I need more men!” He repeated, his tone low but audible. “I need men that'll sweep through the entire empire until Seth Mandeep is found and apprehended.” he spoke, his tone deep and icy.“You order we execute!” They said, “Your wish is our command.”“Danielle must be rescued alive!” He emphasized.“Roger.” They saluted. “No worries Master, this matter is settled, you're in safe hands.” Craig said, his face sta

Clyde didn't respond. In terms of size or status, this man had it all. Compared to him he took the likeness of a buzzing fly_ regardless— he made up his mind. He wasn't one to chatter so he was not going to banter words with him.While he thought he gave baby punches_ he was tasting the waters, strategizing and trying to figure out where would strike the most if he was to hit him. Seeking for his most vulnerable side.He kept looking strategically until he found it and though he received a black eye from that challenge he gave that fat, arrogant jerk a reason to visit the hospital.Since then he was feared the most in the training ground.The man in question was tall, huge, had long dark hair that flowed over his shoulders and he loved wearing wolf skin. —-*Danielle blinked slowly, her eyes adjusting to the blinding rays of the sun. She yawned, spitting a strand of hair that almost got into her mouth—that was a long sleep.She attempted to move her body but realized that she was in

“She hasn't woken yet, your men must've given her too much of that drug!” She complained, irritation lacing on her words.“She'll wake when it wears off.” Seth shot back, his tone dripping with annoyance. Angry that she's unsatisfied with anything he does.“This better not make Clyde turn beast mode on us. I expected you to capture both of them.” She retorted sharply.“Well, he wasn't home.” he shrugged, dismissing her reprimand.He left Danielle and strode somewhere else.“Next time wait till he is.” she chipped in, her voice raising to the ceiling.He scowled, muttering under his breath, "Ungrateful bit—"“You said something?" she asked, her sharp ears catching his mumbled insult."No... I meant, yes. Yes ma'am__ I'll do better next time" he quickly corrected himself, forcing a smile, his tone bordering on mockery.She looked at him suspiciously, “Now listen to me.” her eyes dimmed, her voice commanding.“Try not to lay any of those filthy hands of yours on her. She's not your play
