His tone was casual, as if discussing business. Elysia’s eyes narrowed. “Isn’t that what people like you do?” “People like me?” he asked, his voice smooth, his smirk only deepening. “Ruthless,” she spat. “Cold. You don’t care about anything except power. You’ll do anything to get what you want, even if it means—” “Even if it means what?” Adrian interrupted her, his voice low, cutting through her words like a knife. Elysia’s hands balled into fists, and she looked away. “Even if it means destroying everyone you touch.”

An unintentional trespasser in a world that didn't welcome mistakes. I opened the file, feeling like I was opening Pandora's Box. Name: Rainora Adderman. Age: 22. Background: Hailing from a small town called Westbridge, her father had disappeared without a trace years ago, leaving her mother to raise her and her younger brother, Arin, who was struggling with cystic fibrosis. Poor. She'd only recently arrived in New York, brought here by a friend's generosity--Eunice. She was working

Every venom of hatred she had for me echoed in her voice, laced beneath her words. ''Useless, ungrateful orphan.'' She spat on me. ''You think you have dreams? You think you have a future? You have nothing. You never had anything. You came into this house with nothing and you will leave with nothing. Go and do what you do best, be a slave to whichever man will take you.'' She stepped back. Natalie glanced at us and focused on her phone again.

"I'm not going kill it, that I'm sure." "Good decision," Ruth nodded as she stood up from the chair before taking a few steps towards me and putting her hand on my shoulder. There was something comforting in the way she gave me a soft squeeze. "Everything will be alright, okay? Don't worry. You deserve to be happy and I'm sure the goddess will give you the happiness you deserve. Just…just hang on and trust her. I know you're strong enough to do that." Her words were soft, gentle as a cool breeze after a night of rain. I closed my eyes and stayed silent.

I feel Levi’s eyes burning into me from the side but I don't dare to look his way just yet. The woman glances over at Levi before responding. “I am Ruth, Levi’s second in command and sometimes babysitter.” She replies, rolling her eyes at her King. I frown at her response. If his second in command doesn’t fear speaking like this in front of him then maybe he isn’t so scary afterall. I steal a peak at Levi and see him staring daggers at Ruth but not moving from his spot by the loveseat. Taking a steadying breath I ask the question that has been haunting my mind. “What did you mean by ‘you’?”

without fear of persecution, and if they spoke truly, for life. What did Ruth get to look forward to? Going back to her boring life. A mundane existence that didn't include the two hunks who taught her what passion simmered below her surface. Who introduced her to a world of pleasure. Who would now get on with their lives in Canada while she went back to hers.

I blamed myself knowing that it is a total contrast to what he just said. "Elijah told me a story about an ugly girl in a village. Everyone used to be terrified of her because of her appearance. Children used to cry , adults termed her as bad luck. People accused her for all the awful things happening in the village. No one believed her when she said she was innocent. They called her witch,hit her with stones and drove her out of the village. She believed that everything happened to her because she was ugly and blamed herself. On the way she came across a rift and threw herself into it and died." There is silence again. This time he is grinning stupidly as if he narrated some very motivatin

Ruth explained on Apollo’s behalf. Nathan did not understand. Honestly, Ruth did not understand it either. She waited for Apollo to catch up. The three of them entered the elevator, and Ruth suddenly asked in a seemingly casual fashion, “Speaking of which, are you and Abel brothers?”

They cast a weird gaze at themselves for some seconds trying to believe I had told them to do that "Let's start with what your names are," I mentioned and they both smiled. "Mine is Lesly," the one with short bob hair said while the second one with long black hair introduced hers as Christina. “Beta Zeus is the Alpha’s close friend, I heard Beta Zeus once helped the Alpha in a great course of war where he did not believe he would win.” “Excuse me?” I asked to get to know what they meant. “Don't tell anyone okay?” I nodded my head seeing how vigilante that are before they could say what they wanted.

Helen asked looking at the girl. "Yes she is. look at her, she can't even pour a tea in a cup." The woman said looking at the girl who was glaring at her. "I see. you're the new girl who dreams to be the king's maid, you can't even pour a tea." Helen said, shaking her head in pity. Eve only looked at her in silence, holding her hand down, tight in a fist. Turning back to Ms Jane. she said. "I will talk to you later Ms Jane."
