Empress Ki Episode 1 Novels & Stories

"Wae? Is anything wrong?" "Not at all, darling. You're hosting a TV show. I told you last night, did you forget?" Maria asked, raising an eyebrow. "Ahh, anyo," Emily replied, realizing her forgetfulness. Maria glanced at Emily's dress for a moment, something flickering in her eyes. They left her office and headed to the presenting studio. As they walked down the hallway, the employees couldn't help but gush at Emily's presence. "Isn't that Empire World's WAVE?"

CHAPTER EIGTH Zhane I was busy doing my paper works when I heard a knock, the door opens but I didn’t pay attention on who it is. “Master, madam has woken up from her coma” Keith informed, as long as I heard his words talking about my empress, I stand up immediately “Prepare the car” I ordered him as I fixed my things and take long strides toward the door. Finally my angel is awake I cannot contain the happiness building up on my system.

I won’t let myself fall for the man who’s ruled my thoughts since the prenup. The knock comes again, sharper this time. “It’s time,” a voice calls from outside. Papa rises, extending his hand. “Ready, princess?” I slide my fingers into his. My pulse hammers, but I force a steady smile. “As ready as I’ll ever be.” I glance at my reflection in the hallway mirror. The bride staring back is tense, ready, unwilling to submit fully. I like that about myself. Even here, in silk and lace, I am not entirely tamed.

I cleared my throat to gather myself before I began speaking to the beautiful, yet devious creature before me. "Ms. Morgan," I began, "It's lovely to finally meet you. My name is Adrian Chase." I went to shake her hand, but she held it up as if she expected me to kiss it. She bent her slim wrist and exposed her expensive jewelry and perfectly manicured fingernails. I held eye contact as I leaned down and lightly pressed an open mouth kiss to the back of her hand. Two could play in this game.

the empress asked with a serious expression. "Yes! I am deeply insulted by you, and even you, Xu Ji and Xie Xi'er, are equally despicable to me! Your attitudes are far removed from the proper conduct of the Xie Empire. Especially you! Since becoming empress, your character has been nothing but flawed, except for the young princess Xie Hien." He replied firmly, and then the voice vanished completely from the hall. Even Xie Xi'er and Xu Ji knelt with sweat covering their bodies, for the one who had spoken was the oldest ancestor of the empire itself, and he rarely interfered or spoke to others. He had never even accepted anyone as his guest, except for one person—the young Princess Xie Hien, w

Yeah supposed to, where my security was waiting. But Aiden and I didn’t realize we’d gone the wrong way until the doors opened. When the restaurant doors opened, what I expected was quiet and well anything but what I found... Instead, camera were flashing in my eyes. FLASH. FLASH. FLASH. The was shouting, screaming and cameras everywhere. It was complete chaos. All I asked for was one day without the media circus... “AIDEN! RAE! OVER HERE!” “ARE THE TWO OF YOU DATING?” “AIDEN, LOOK HERE! SMILE!”

She wanted the world clean, small, and private. She picked up the envelope. It was thick and smelled faintly of smoke. Her name on the front, the old surname. Her hand shook. “Open it,” Sophia said. She slit the paper with a nail. Inside was a single card. No letter. No stamps, no signatures. Just three words: I KNOW THE TRUTH. The room grew small. Elara’s throat made a tight sound. She put the card down like it might burn. “Who brings a threat with no hand?” she said.

“Of course. But only if you stay longer than fifteen minutes this time.” I smiled, a small, genuine one. “I’ll stay,” I said. “I promise.” “Good. That’s what I wanted to hear.” After we hung up, I stood alone in the silence, the city watching me through the glass. And I realized something unsettling. Zara Harper wasn’t just a mistake that wouldn’t go away. She was the one thing I didn’t plan for. She'd crawled her way into my empire and for the first time, I felt out of control.

Miranda stepped aside as the cameras began broadcasting live. Adriana approached the podium. “Good morning,” she began. The room quieted instantly. “For the past week, my company has faced a series of accusations and financial attacks.” Reporters leaned forward eagerly. “Today,” Adriana continued, “I would like to explain why.”

He told himself he had done worse before, and the empire had survived because of it. Still, the name echoed in his head. Sierralya. He pushed away from the table and crossed the room, stopping at the window. From here, the palace grounds looked calm. Orderly. As if nothing beneath them was rotting. As if there weren’t things buried so deep even he pretended not to remember them. “She’s my daughter,” he said aloud, to no one. The words didn’t change anything. “Dismissed.” The councilors filed out slowly. When the doors finally closed, he was left with just Caspian.
