Instant Empire Book Novels & Stories

I remembered the first time clearly, a charity gala years ago, back when I was still new to J and F, still learning how to move through rooms like this without feeling like an imposter in someone else's expensive life. Selena had approached me at the bar, unprompted, and looked me over with an expression I hadn't been able to place at the time. Not hostility exactly. Something more calculating, more assessing, like she was trying to figure out where I fit into a puzzle only she could see the full shape of. "You're the one everyone whispers about," she'd said, swirling her drink. "The girl who came back." "I suppose I am," I'd answered carefully.

So a sweeping restoration took hold, and Jayzepan rose almost overnight. This backward little farming nation became a full-blown capitalist empire, and once an empire develops past a certain point, it instinctively starts expanding outward to bleed off its internal pressures. And so the Jayzepans marched down the road of invasion. Ray could stomach almost anything. Even the Age of Broken Crowns, even the people of Gohaven reduced to two-legged livestock, he'd never once stepped in. But standing in Jayzepan, watching this pack raise the banner of militarism, he simply couldn't hold himself back anymore.

My husband, Benji Morrison, is a system guide from another world. His mission is to get me pregnant so that I can give birth to his successor. However, although I've already gotten pregnant seven times, I suffer a miscarriage each and every time. "Your uterus has been severely damaged due to the amount of times you've suffered a miscarriage," the doctor explains. I'm racked with guilt. I resign from my job and stay at home to focus on getting pregnant again. When I get pregnant for the eighth time, a comment appears before my eyes just as I'm about to share the good news with Benji. "She's so pitiful. She's nothing but a tool that the male lead is using to get together with his first l

This was one of the places I found my peace. My gaze flickered to the guy in grey suit on the chair beside mine, as he flipped through his bible to find Matthew 26:52. Even after the pastor had gone on to another verse, he didn't seem to be impatient. He continued flipping pages after pages, as slowly as a snail. It was obvious he didn't know Matthew was the first book in the New testament. My lips twitched, itching for a smile. "Marco, Matthew is the first book in the new testament."

Adrian Chase wouldn’t allow himself to be weakened by something as trivial as love. After my workout, I got in my car and drove across town. I parked across the road from the towering, clinical-looking building and stared at it with fury coursing through every cell in my body. It was the central DC headquarters for MID, and I had plans to get inside to try and find out more about the homeless people Amelia and Barney Fucking Fife had stumbled upon.

The threat against the Empire has been dealt with. The Empress, along with her family and the First Prince were sent to be imprisoned. The Empress didn’t manage to fully implement her plan because of me. Everything in and out of the Palace was back to normal after a few days. The guards that pledged their loyalty to the Empress surrendered and they were banished from the Empire. As for me, while I was recovering, I thought about what I needed to do. I pulled out the book that the scholar gave me. As I opened it, the once boring map suddenly jumped to life. There were colors in a few places and my name suddenly appeared at the bottom of the map where our Empire could be found. A few names pop

“The succession war.” “Yes,” I said. “The emperor fighting to keep his throne. The heirs fighting each other. Nobles plotting against all of them. The Empire is too busy to retaliate, too fractured to aid Lone Star, and too arrogant to believe anyone would dare act while they’re distracted. We take Lone Star now, and the Empire can do nothing but watch.” Alessia tilted her head. “You mean to strike while the wolf is hunting itself.” “I mean to remove the wolf’s shield before it remembers we exist,” I replied.

But as I looked closely, I could see them watching us carefully. ‘There..no..we are trapped in here. There is no way we could get past them.’ I gulped in some air, as the one with the horizontal plume began to speak. “Welcome to the Makedon Empire. You visitors have been as some of you are no doubt aware have been enslaved by us. The lawful subjects of his Imperial Highness, Emperor Alexander IV. We are members of the Imperial central army, V Legion. You are now soldiers in the newly formed slave corps. Your job is simple. Attack and kill what we tell you to. However, for you the Imperial Emperor has given you all one divine blessing. If you fight and win ten battles. You will no longer be s

Looking at her anxious face, the emperor hurriedly diverted the topic and suggested her . "Well, you have to read that book . " Yes, the book... amidst their conversation , she totally and nearly forgot to ask him about the book properly, yet he still understood her the best and sensing her thoughts he tried to elaborate all the things saying ... "Read 7 DAYS AND 7 LIVES…... slowly and swiftly page by page, according to the time zones. You .. You have to start reading it from the front page and then proceed further slowly.

I always thought that my aunt would bust through a door and tell me everything or I would bust through a door and demanded answers. “Well, I’m going to go look for Henry. I don’t like leaving him on his own with the vampires or anyone else anymore so..take as much time as you need,” she ended nicely. I nodded, my eyes glued to the cream ceiling. She shuffled around for a while and then left with a moment of hesitancy. As the door closed, I sat up on my bed and placed the book before me. ‘The mysteries of the Imperials’, it was titled. I inhaled deeply and decided that I wasn’t going to overthink it, I was going to have an open mind. I nodded to myself and turned the cover.
