Chapter 168.
The Queen plotted to disgrace her in the worst way.
One night, the poor lady Jade was taken out from her bed and shoved into the chambers of the King.
The King was drugged, she was drugged and they spent the night together. The next day, everything was exposed.
The rumor of Lady Jade wanting to climb into the ranks of power through disgusting means filled the ears of the entire Kingdom, and so, she was pushed to the Rosaline Mansion with the scorn of the King and every single person of the Palace.
However, it was not doubt that she was the King's woman now, his mistress. Although, what that King loathed more than anything was the scheming ladies that wanted him only for his power, just like his mother did in the past.
He despised what she had done, he hated her for breaking the innocent image he had of her, and all the love he once held for her vanished like air.
Lady Jade was left to satisfy the King’s carnal desires when he visited h

The pair of arms that were holding her, the face that was looking at her, and the soft voice that was talking to her, all of that changed in a second. Now she was seeing a pair of blue dazzling eyes. Beautiful blue eyes, the kind that she knew they can sweep her heart away in one second. Then those lips, the kind that reminded him of a man, the one in her memories and dreams, the kind that she had always wanted to taste every day of her life."You..." Thea's dazed stare tried to recall where she had seen the man before her. She knew he was familiar. She knew he was the one she had been waiting for for so long but she didn't remember. "You are... you are the man... in my dream."The strange phrase made Dion look at her with a frown and a bit of a smile. It was as if she was telling him that she has been thinking of him, the same as the many times he had been imaging her next to him every day."I dreamt... of you the night before... then the night before, and before tha

Part 2. The darkness of the night was screaming with thunders and lightnings; the clouds threatened to shatter the world with the fatality of the storm. Screams and shouts of help came from everywhere in the world."Help!""It is the rage of a dragon!""Please, stop it!"They knew a mighty dragon had gone mad from the loss of his lover. The broken heart of a dragon was the worst fatality that could even descend upon the vulnerable. The mortal world will die because of the rage, the immortals will suffer and shatter to appease the sadness. A woman with silver hair was atop of a mountain, looking up at the figure of the dragon shouting in pain. "Come," she said, "come to me, I am waiting for you."The mighty dragon in the sky roared and with his red eyes shining and illuminating the darkness, he followed the voice of the woman. The thunders changed into a soft rain and then the sun rose again to alleviate the hearts of the people. No more rai

"Hello, beautiful lady," a man's voice stopped her in her tracks. She felt something strange going on, the past shinning of the Old Madame's house was dimmed. There wasn't a good feeling anymore. Emma turned around and watched as two men approached her. They look up and down at her with a little smirk in their eyes. They seemed like the kind of dirty tugs that liked to pester the people in the town in name of their mafia boss. "What do you want?""Oh... don't be afraid, pretty lady," one of them, tall with a big body but with a terrible face, walked several steps forwards reaching out to her. However, Emma moved back swiftly as if she was not afraid of the stature of that man. The other man snickered, "did you see, bro? She isn't afraid of you...""Well, that is a first," the tall one responded with a little smirk, "come with me pretty lady, we can have some fun.""Don't get near me," Emma said with a fierce stare."Why not? We can have a good t

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees. "Miss Emma, this..." one of the police officers looked at Emma with a bit of worry in his eyes. "You should go to the old Larks, they are waiting for

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market. "Is there something you need from the shop?""Darling, I thought you were already asleep," the old aunty came forward with a caring look, "you should go and sleep, you must be tired."Emma smiled, she knew that the old woman had seen her training, "I am fine, aunty, but I wish to take some fresh air now. There is something I want to test

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest
