Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE TYRANT'S CONTRACT BRIDE: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

The three masters, Knox, Seven and Killian all knew the news wasn’t going to be anything good the moment Dimitri urged Knox to see it. And true to their instincts, it was worse than they had assumed. The faces of the renowned Judge Grayson, and Serena were plastered across the screen with a ticker below blaring in urgent red text: "SCANDAL ROCKS DELANEY MURDER CASE: SEX, LIES, AND JUDICIAL CORRUPTION.""This is Diane Sawyer reporting to you live from Star City with breaking news in the Delaney murder case. It appears the judge at the center of the controversy is none other than Judge Grayson, one of the most respected legal minds in the country." A perfectly coiffed blonde anchorwoman with a dazzling white smile spoke in a tone of excitement and her eyes were dazzling from the excitement of revealing such a scandalous news. She turned to her smirking, salt-and-pepper haired co-anchor seated next to her, barely able to contain her excitement. "Stuart, the allegations here are si

Everyone abandoned their brunch and followed Knox to the grand outdoor foyer, where Dimitri had gathered all the maids and guards per Knox's order. The employees were already quivering the moment they were brought out to stand there in formation. They had expected maybe Seven or Killian to handle whatever interrogation needed to happen but were shocked to see their Master, Knox himself, striding out looking like a predator on the prowl.The air was thick with tension as all the staff had their eyes cast downward in fear and respect. They shuffled uneasily, waiting for the impending storm.Knox's penetrating gaze scanned over the huge crowd that left Serena speechless. She was shocked to see so many subordinates working at a single villa - tall, muscular men in expensive black suits alongside maids in equally professional black and white attire, all gathered obediently. There had to be at least a hundred employees present, maybe more."Is every single member of the househo

The sound of shoes echoed on the polished marble flooring as Knox and the collected group made their way back into the lavish villa. "Take the traitor to the dungeon. Bind her in silver chains. Ensure she cannot escape." Knox's commanding voice that sent chills through the room rang out before they could fully disperse.“Yes, master!” Two burly guards immediately stepped forward. Their faces were set in harsh lines while they seized the traitorous maid by her slender arms. She let out a muffled cry of pain and fear as they roughly manhandled her, not caring about her comfort and began to wrap heavy silver chains around her wrists and ankles. The metal gleamed coldly in the light, its touch burning against her skin and suppressing her wolf abilities.The disgraced woman let out series of agonizing shrikes and struggled weakly, trying to dig her heels into the ground as she was dragged across the courtyard. But it was futile - her captors were far too strong, and her fate was

A hush fell over the room as all eyes turned to the young woman. The clinking of silverware against fine china ceased abruptly, and even Mrs. Ricci hovering nearby froze in place. Although everyone's attention had been focused on the dramatic matters earlier with the treacherous maid, Meredith's keen, perceptive eyes hadn't missed a single detail about Serena's current state.The witch had immediately noticed how Serena was walking with a slight, tell-tale limp. She caught how the human’s movements were way too careful than usual. Then there were the reddish love bites and hickeys peppering her neck, which the young woman was futilely trying to cover up with her long two-toned hair. Meredith smirked inwardly, remembering her own wild nights with Enzo.But the first thing that truly caught Meredith's attention was the obvious lack of a mate mark on Serena's delicate, creamy skin. She had initially thought that Knox had finally found a way to mark his mate without risking ki

He was arrogant and indifferent as he leaned back in a more leisurely posture on his chair. “I want to look the best tomorrow.” Thomas nodded, jotting down notes on his tablet. "Of course, sir. Anything else?"Alex paused as though considering something. "Yes, actually. I want you to dig up everything you can on Gaard Corp. Financial records, employee rosters, any whispers of scandal or impropriety. If there's dirt to be found, I want it on my desk by morning.""Right away, Mr. Montgomery," Thomas replied. With that, he turned to leave.Alex leaned back in his plush leather chair with a smug grin playing across his face. He felt like the luckiest bastard alive. Serena's mysterious man’s own family had turned against them. It gave Alex all the leverage and inside information he needed to counter any underhanded plans they might try to execute. He savored the feeling of power, imagining the look on Serena's face when he finally cornered her.Alex’s gaze narrowed when he he
