Is he Jealous?Back at the hotel, Danielle paced the room. Clyde’s abrupt departure left her uneasy, and the news report on the tv hadn’t helped. She couldn’t shake the image of Clarissa’s bloody, broken body from her mind.She felt a pang of guilt and pain. She felt it was all her fault. For shutting the door at her without letting her get to speak to Clyde. Maybe that would've changed everything.The sound of the door creaking open made her spin around. Clyde stood there, his face unreadable.“Young Master,” she said, her voice a mix of relief and worry. “What’s going on? You left like the city was on fire.”He stepped inside, his movements deliberate. “It’s complicated,” he muttered, brushing past her.Danielle grabbed his arm, forcing him to stop. “Don’t give me that. Tell me the truth. What's going on?”Clyde sighed, running a hand through his hair. For a moment, he softened and she saw the storm raging inside him. “Clarissa’s in the hospital,” he admitted. “Someone ran her off t

Zizou Empire was an empire known for its military strength. Their weapons were always the state of the art, and their training exercises were so excruciating that the death counts during training was always higher than that of an actual war. This made Zizou Empire the number one Empire in the continent. And the capital of this amazing empire was; Gold city. Far away from Gold city, an angry female’s voice could be heard coming from a small house. A couple lived here and day to day, the wife will always make a few snide remarks at the man, today seemed a bit different, as it seemed that instead of the casual remarks, she was going all out. “Clyde! I'm deadbeat tired of all these!? I can't keep living like this! It's frustrating, you hear!?” the lady's high pitch voice could be heard. Clarissa Davidson. She's fair, slender, long black hair, It will be a shame if all these beauty goes to waste in this slum.” Clarissa used to be an upstate girl. She had come from a well to do famil

Unknown to Clarissa, the gift she called trash were actually the top notch, best of best, out of this world, items that money could buy. It's difficult to believe the fact that a billionaire will leave the life of luxury, and then decide to settle in the slums. What kind of a life will that be? But Clyde did it.. he chose this life for a reason. Clyde had gotten a gold card with black diamond engraved on it, this card was only for the wealthiest in the Zizou Empire. This gold card had no spending limits and could contain billions of trium (the currency of the Zizou Empire. One Trium is equivalent to One dollar. In the modern world, Clyde will be one of the richest men there is. Another gift he had prepared was the state of the art smart-wristband, which after facial recognition will allow Clarissa the access to learn about his real identity as the lord of the Zizou Empire's military forces. Clyde's identity was known only to a few. Even in the military, only a handful of military

Later that evening, Clarissa and Clyde were on their way to the government agency for a divorce.Clyde had tried to make her see reasons but Clarissa was adamant and demanded it wholeheartedly.On the way, Clarissa kept on mopping about how Clyde had been unable to give her the kind of life she deserved. Even after a year of marriage she had nothing to show that she was married to a 'Man'. She had talked to Rachael while she was at her home.Rachael had pointed out the fact that ever since she was married, not only had she been left behind by their classmates, but her societal hierarchy had plummeted to rock bottom. She had agreed to it when Rachael had laid out these facts in front of her.“How can you be so useless, and yet you expect me to remain with you!? I'd say 'in your dreams' but then again, I'm not sure if you even have dreams.” Clarissa spoke harshly to Clyde as they both sat in the cab which was conveying them to the agency building.The cab driver had a frown on his face

When 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 he
The Return Of Martins Goblin. CHAPTER 005.
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

SassyClarissa gazed up at the towering skyscraper before her. The building seemed endless, its reflective windows catching the glow of the late afternoon sun, and freshly installed flowerbeds added a vibrant touch to its modern aesthetic. She glanced at her phone, double-checking the address Rachael had sent her. It was the right place.The hotel was breathtaking. Memories flooded her mind—her first and only visit to a five-star hotel years ago with her father, back when he was still a man of importance. If Clyde was here now, it only confirmed what she’d heard—he had wealth beyond imagination.Taking a deep breath, she smoothed her dress and clicked her stiletto heels against the paved path leading to the entrance.*A man watching keenly from the comfort of his car stared at Clarissa. He picked up his phone and placed a call.“Target sighted. What should I do?” He said.“Make it swift and quick. Make it natural.. no suspicions.” The voice at the other end instructed.“Okay boss.” H

A mere assistantOutside the palace_The night air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of jasmine from the palace gardens. The tension between them was almost tangible as Clyde tossed the sleek leather luggage into the boot of the newly released, limited-edition Mercedes. Only four of its kind existed in the entire world, and he was privileged to own one.Danielle stood nearby, leaning casually against the car. A book was in her hands, her glasses perched delicately on her nose, giving her an air of quiet brilliance.She looked every bit the intellectual, lost in her own world, but Clyde couldn't take his eyes off her. A smile tugged at his lips, unbidden, as admiration coursed through him."All set. Let's go," he said, stepping closer, his voice low and warm.She raised her head from the book, her expression calm but unreadable. "Sure," she replied, moving to open the car door. But his hand shot out, stopping her."Uh…" He hesitated, his usual confidence faltering. "Are we still goin

The world belongs to the strongIn the dimly lit VIP room of his favorite club, Seth sat ensconced in luxury.He leaned back on the plush leather couch, surrounded by women laughing at his every word.His expensive whiskey glistened in the dim light as he reveled in their attention. His hands wandered freely, eliciting giggles, and his laughter boomed across the room, a testament to his dominance and indulgence.The mood shifted abruptly when the doors bursted open. Four men in black stormed in, their faces concealed by menacing masks. Their mere presence sent the women screaming and scrambling for the exits, their high heels clacking against the floor in desperation.Seth froze, his smirk fading. His sharp eyes caught the fifth figure entering the room—a mountain of a man, towering and broad-shouldered. Dark hair spilled over his hoodie, which hung like a cape, casting an ominous shadow over his face.As soon as he crossed the threshold, the man lunged forward, gripping Seth by the t

Unspoken emotions*“I miss her too,” Danielle whispered, her voice trembling.Without thinking, she reached for Robin and pulled him into a hug. He stiffened for a moment, then melted into her embrace, his arms wrapping around her as if holding onto something precious.The two of them stood there, the weight of their shared grief pressing down on them in the shadow of their mother’s grave. The world around them seemed to disappear as they held each other, the silence broken only by the quiet rustle of the wind.“I wish she could see us now,” Robin murmured, his voice thick with emotion. “See what we’ve become.”Danielle closed her eyes, letting the tears fall freely. “She would be proud. Of both of us.”Robin pulled back slightly, his eyes searching hers, his face a mixture of sorrow and longing. “You think so?”“I know so,” Danielle said firmly, her voice steady despite the storm raging inside her. She managed a small smile, brushing a stray strand of hair from his face. “You’re eve

A determined HeartThe first day was grueling. The recruits were subjected to endless drills—running, climbing, sparring, and endurance tests. By the end of it, Danielle’s muscles burned, her hands were blistered, and her vision swam with exhaustion.“Still standing?” Lythos asked as she staggered to the line where the others stood.“Yes, sir,” Danielle gasped, barely able to catch her breath.“Good. Tomorrow will be harder.”The boys didn’t make it any easier. They teased her relentlessly, sabotaging her equipment and tripping her during drills. But Danielle didn’t retaliate. She focused on her training, pushing herself harder with every challenge.The turning point came during a sparring match. The trainees were paired off to practice combat techniques, and Danielle was matched against Garrick, a towering boy with a cocky grin.“This’ll be quick,” Garrick said, brandishing his wooden sword.Danielle said nothing, gripping her weapon tightly.The match began, and Garrick came at her

The mind is a weaponShe pulled back, her hands gripping his shoulders as she looked him over. “No, you’re not,” she agreed with a laugh. “You’ve grown into a man, Robin. A skinny, bookish man, but a man nonetheless.”Robin adjusted his glasses, a sheepish smile on his face. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”Danielle’s gaze softened. “It is. I’m proud of you. You’ve always been destined for great things, and I can see you’re well on your way.”He blushed but tried to contain it.She held his hands, her eyes scanning his face. “How has it been over there?”Robin adjusted his glasses, a nervous smile tugging at his lips. “Busy with studies, mostly. But I brought something for you.” He rummaged through his coat pocket, his movements precise and deliberate.Danielle watched him with quiet admiration. Her little brother was now a man, though his slender frame, pale complexion, and tired eyes told her he had likely been pushing himself too hard.From his pocket, Robin produced a small objec

Mom would be proudThe Gold City chapter of Clyde’s journey had come to an end. The artifact was safe, and his mission complete. Yet, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the palace grounds, his thoughts returned to Marula.The insurgents remained a looming threat. Though his cover had been blown, Clyde vowed to continue the fight against them, working from the shadows.For now, the road back to Marula awaited—a path paved with danger, uncertainty, and the weight of unfinished business.*Danielle had one wish before leaving for Marula with Clyde: to visit her mother’s grave.As she made her way to the graveyard, the air grew colder, and the wind carried the faint rustle of leaves. The moon bathed the path in silver light, lending an eerie tranquility to the night.Approaching the grave site, Danielle froze. A dark, frail silhouette knelt before the cremated tombstone. The figure was wrapped in a long coat, holding a bouquet of freshly cut roses. He sniffled
