I slowly turn my back and walk out the door in tears. After I left I heard Shane cry so loud inside the room. I rushed back and opened the door. I hugged her so tightly and kissed her and begged her for the last time but she hardly pushed me away. She didn’t want to say those hurtful words towards me but the pain that I caused her is so much for her heart to handle. A wonderful love that ends in an instant. The love that we thought could last forever end just like that.

I will give him more than he bargains for. I go to my new home, a plain suburban affair. It is furnished. Quickly, not breaking a sweat, I move most of the furniture into the garage. Then I retire to the master bedroom, draw all the shades, and lie down on the hard wooden floor and close my eyes. The sun has drained my strength, I tell myself. But as I doze off I know it is also the people I have met this day that have cut deep into me, where my iron blood flows like a black river over the cold dust of forgotten ages, dripping onto this green world, onto the present, like the curse of the Lord himself. I hope to dream of Krishna as I fall asleep, but I do not. The devil is there instead. Yak

As Nathaniel stood at the window one last time before sleep, he felt no urge to intervene. This was not a crisis. It was a reckoning.

Smith chose John once again. Jimmy then pointed at the stacks of supplement Henry sent and grinned at John. "Don't worry—I'm sending that stuff to a nursing home later." The gloom in John's eyes faded, and he told his assistant to send over everything he had prepared. - Henry was left watching as Jimmy carried all the supplements he sent downstairs. Then, he even looked Henry in the eye, not holding back as he scoffed, "Love that comes too late is cheaper than dirt. Nothing can be changed—be it all the times you hurt Tina or Sophie's death.

“This—this is deception! You don’t understand! She bewitched him, that is all—” The imperial physician, frantic to salvage what little control he still had, pushed forward, robes billowing, his voice dripping with false confidence. “Yes, yes, trickery! No woman could draw silver out of a Lycan’s blood. She must have used forbidden charms. She has deceived you all!”

. Villa in the North Empire- . Inside, an old man wheezed from the soul attack done to his puppet. His ion energy, which was already damaged started to deteriorate.

“Imagine the person you hate the most or the person you consider your opponent groveling at your feet. Imagine the world all bowing to you. Imagine everything you wished for being yours. Now, what are the steps you will take for that to happen? Who are your pawns? Who will you tear down to make it possible? Those impure thoughts fill my head every waking moment. My thoughts are noisier than a market and they urge me towards destruction, anger, sorrow, and grief. The path I walk is a thorny, flesh-rendering path. Let me walk this path on my lonesome while you focus on procreating with my brother and making your kingdom great.” “What do you mean?” “Long Live the Empire,” Natalia whispered in h
