Semua Bab Sold to My Ex-Husband's Alpha Father: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Investigations commenced immediately and with each turn, we were faced with strong opposition; it was either the council members who were adamant about providing the useful records and details, or the village chief who would not make established laws and enforcement on the basis of forgetfulness or extreme workload. Anonymous threats and warnings were equally surfacing at one point or the other, but we were able to pull through.We pressed harder until the elders succumbed first and did nothing to oppose me or my team anymore; they just provided whatever information we needed. Although their compliance was a good thing, I was still suspicious of their dealings and felt the information provided was either false or work shopped. Since there was no proof to that, I kept my cool. The village chiefs on the other hand were still adamant; all we had to do was buy time continually and exercise patience. Bram was going to find out anyway and then we would see who the major culprit is. The d

I knew expecting a response from Selene immediately would be very silly of me, but I’m on a mission to win her back so baby steps. I was going to make her fall for me little by little; she would have to fall in love with me while still maintaining her position as my father’s wife and the queen of the obsidian throne. Once I achieve that, I would plot to take down my father with her help; she would be too enamored with me to oppose it and must have given me all veto power by then. There would be no other opposition from any of the royal cabinet because the power vested on me would supersede all, then Lara would be my queen and Selene would be taken down.As for Lara, her freedom would be curbed permanently even when she becomes my Luna and queen. The previous incident was another warning to keep my plans secret, away from her knowing eyes and ears. Besides she kept hers from me so it was a fair game, who knows how many more she was keeping from me. I dressed as fast as I could for t

It was strange seeing the castle buzz with activities, the halls and public was filled with at least ten servants, workers and elders moving around. My father was someone who never liked the crowd and people around; there were no frequent parties or gatherings that he ever enjoyed, Selene’s arrival must be one special event in his life.I chuckled and shook my head, wondering how we got to the point where the cold ruthless father I had grown to know was now someone who acted like a love bird. The woman who he had acquired was in charge now, running the affairs of the kingdom. The guards and maids bowed and greeted as I walked past, well not many of them, there was still a sworn loyalty the citizens had for my father so I knew the rest that cared to acknowledge my presence was either doing so out of pity or just decorum. I walked down to locate Selene’s chambers, deliberately avoiding my father and his lap dogs. The risk of going to her chambers was well considered since they all dot

I looked at him for a few minutes and then narrowed my eyes, “when did you begin to question me about my whereabouts? I really don’t appreciate it…..” “I’m trying to keep you safe,” he cut in. “Besides, it’s about time you settle down, this marriage and ruling the kingdom would not work with you moving around.” “And how would you know that huh? Having staying in a place, cooped up like a fowl helped?” I snapped. I knew this was going to happen but it was better being here than with Vespera, Dorian was flexible and easily manipulated. “I have never had any problem with you going out, especially if it is for the progress of the kingdom and my rule, but right now a lot is happening, the so-called queen is truly raising dust in every part of the country.” “Oh, you were referring to the conspiracy trial that happened recently. I assure you babe, that bitch can do nothing out of the ordinary. She’ll get tired soon and stop barking all over the place, power is intoxicating you know and s

Theo held my hand like a child would hold on to an aged mother, “since it is a friend’s gathering, I think it’s wise to act as one.” I smiled, “do you mean walking behind me as a bodyguard? But that is your job.” “Spare me this one time please!” He whined. I laughed, “just this one time, after this one, no more.” “I thought we were friends,” he muttered with puppy eyes. “No bribing, now let’s move, I’m the hostess and I don’t want to be late.”Maddie and Barbara had gone ahead to prepare the food and drinks, I knew it was going to be wonderful. “Shall we, my lady?” Theo said with a bow.“What do you expect from this? I know it’s strange a queen is this accommodating with her subjects, I doubt the people would want to loosen up or feel too comfortable in fear of angering me.” “Hmmm, why don’t we get there and see how it goes.” Theo shrugged. “I was equally surprised you were hosting a picnic with all your staff, but it’s like an appreciation event with the hopes of you enjoying
