The Bane Of Your Existence 소설 & 이야기

His mother was no longer physically fit to run anything. Aaron had secretly injected his own mother with Brazil… that cancerous, slow-killing drug. Since his mother had completely refused to cooperate with his wicked plans against Zaydeen, Aaron had promised to send her off to her Maker silently. And soon, very soon, his mother would die from the poison. If more evidence came out in court, he would go to jail for life, and everything he had ever worked hard for… his entire company, his wealth, and his assets… they would all become Nova’s own property.

After that incident, Bexley City underwent earth-shaking changes. All four prominent families suffered heavy blows. Without their support, the Grant Corporation collapsed overnight, drowning in massive debt. They were blacklisted, hunted daily by creditors, until finally, the family vanished without a trace. As for Isla, after returning home, she lived in constant terror of retaliation. Unable to withstand the crushing pressure, she eventually leapt from a building and ended her life. My words had come true. Those who hurt me would always pay the price.

The weight of the day's unexpected series of incidents pressed down on Joslyn’s shoulders, almost suffocating her with their heaviness. Rummaging through her purse, Joslyn's heart sank as she realized her keys were nowhere to be found. It was the final straw, the tipping point that sent her cascading into despair. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision as the reality of Josh's near-death experience crashed over her like a tidal wave.

Every sound faded into oblivion as the heavy truth dawned on me. “Bane is dead”

She basically growls and cuts the link. For fuck sake, can’t I catch a break from women and their theatrics for one moment. First Ximena being mated to another woman, then that pain of a Mate and now this leech that’s breathing in my neck. It’s like the Goddess is taking a piss on me and ‘gifting’ me with powerful woman, well fuck her too!

Blake P.O.V. The roof’s a bad joke; waist-high parapet that’d make a safety inspector faint, a chimney that leans like it’s thinking of retirement, and a view too pretty for what’s been happening underneath it. Bane comes for me because of course he does. He always picks the wrong fight.

I glance at Bane, who is focused on the road, clearly annoyed that I opened his window. "Do you have a mate?" he asks, losing focus and nearly causing an accident. "Hey, keep your eyes on the road!" I remind him as he continues driving. "So, do you have a mate?" "Why? Do you want to be my mate?" "Of course! That would make me the happiest woman in the world. But no, I don’t want to be tied to you in any way in this life. I wouldn’t drink from you even if you were the last drop of water on Earth," I reply sarcastically.

I whispered into his ear. "Blah, I think im going to be sick!" Bane fake gagged. "Why don't you leave this whole war alone okay, and try and be a nice guy..." he interrupted me by bursting out into laughter. "Your so stupid if you think I would do that. Im going to kill you on the night of the blue moon, then I will become the ruler of the natural world. Then vampires will be the true race of this world"

"Bane, when can I be as 'exceptional' as Simon? This guy's… unstoppable!" Bane's face was grim as he sneered. "Oh, you want to be like him? Sure. I'll destroy your vital gate and focus your energy there. Then, you'll be just like him—except you'll die, your body shriveled to skin and bones. You want that?" Michael swallowed hard and shook his head. "Hell no!" "Exactly," Bane said coldly. "And this can't go on forever. We can't just keep calling for more women. It's not sustainable."
