Where Men Win Glory Novels & Stories

Pierre smiled after hearing my words, "Noted, madam." Pierre properly geared me up for our combat training, and while watching him tie my shoelaces, I finally reminisced that this might be Pierre's first time to date a woman, and so he's still crippled for the essential things that he has to do. Looking at Pierre, who's also flawed in some ways despite all of his heavenly attributes, I realized that effortlessly perfect men only exist in books and fiction. In real life, a man has to work and exert effort to make himself perfect for the woman he desires and this is something that us, women, should enuinely appreciate.

He had gone undefeated, winning championship after championship. However, at the peak of his career, he had retired to devote himself entirely to training me. Maybe it was my unwavering stare that finally made him relent. His tone softened slightly as he said, "Clifford, stop competing with Daniel. "He's been out there alone for years and suffered more than you can imagine. As long as you behave, we will take care of you for the rest of your life." I forced myself to stay upright and spoke in a low, hoarse voice. "I won't compete with him anymore. Dad… could you demonstrate one last combat technique for me?"

Secondly, the real guest of honor at the party should have been Stella Morrow who never showed up at the event. Thirdly, Stella Morrow was the one who had previously received an official invitation for a Brookhaven television interview. Attached beneath the article was an audio clip from the banquet. Naomi's voice rang out loud and clear. There were screenshots too, including the post from Naomi's private account that was captioned: "The exams might have been a loss, but my family's devotion is the real prize!" Beneath it, there were also replies she'd personally left in the comments section. "My cousin was jealous of me and hid my admission ticket, which is why I failed the exams."

"To be honest, for this proposal, I only did what I was supposed to do under the guidance of Ms. Prescott and Mr. Whitlock. I wouldn't dare take credit for it. Most of the credit belongs to Mr. Whitlock." He said all the right things and carried himself with humility, yet the moment our eyes met, an imperceptible triumphant look and provocation flashed through his gaze. I held his gaze with a poker face. He did what he was supposed to do? Since he joined the company, he hadn't done a single lick of work; he'd spent his days playing games at his desk. How shameless could he be? Now, he was taking credit for two weeks of my hard work.

means when Dominic is clearly the only man I want when a voice breaks the silence. "That was the most brutal thing I’ve seen in years." I jump, turning toward the shadows. A man is leaning against the stone pillar. He looks like he just stepped out of a male model magazine. I could smell his perfume from where I stood and it was amazing. He’s strikingly handsome with dark, somewhat messy hair, piercing eyes, and a rugged jawline that feels dangerous. He looks like the polished men in the ballroom but there was still something different about him. Something alluring and I find that my heart is beating faster.

The sound of my own pulse pounding in my ears was the only thing I could focus on for a few seconds. My mind wandered to the last awards ceremony, where I’d been snubbed by the very wolves I’d worked so hard to impress. But that didn’t matter now. None of it did. I wasn’t there for their approval anymore. I wasn’t even there for the king’s favor. I was there to win—plain and simple. Let them have their awards, I thought bitterly. I had my eyes on something far more important now. Glory. Real, tangible glory. Something that could only be earned in the heat of battle.

The gladiators knew that success in the arena meant not only personal glory but also financial prosperity for their masters. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the training grounds, the gladiators, adorned in their distinctive armor, gathered for final instructions from Rhesus. His voice, authoritative and commanding, echoed through the courtyard as he motivated his warriors, reminding them of the honor and wealth awaiting those who emerged victorious in the arena.

She thought his violence was strength and courage? I knew why she picked John all of a sudden. In my previous life, I kept the food in my storage space, but cooking in a famine was more obvious than fire in the night. The starving people gathered their forces and tried to take my food away. John, being a thug, would never let anyone take his food. Thanks to me, he had full meals all the time. With his size and strength, he fought the starving people off, and there were dozens of them. Thanks to him, our food was safe.

The same teammates who used to hype Nicole up were now spewing insults, cussing her out. [I can't believe this! The competition deadline is an hour away, and Nicole's program crashes with a bug. Not only that, it wiped out everything we built. She straight-up ruined all our work!] [Damn it! We spent a whole month grinding on this, and now it's all gone. We told her to fix the bug herself, but she didn't know what the hell she was doing. She kept typing mistakes into the code until the whole thing was completely dead!]

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out, and he could only lower his head in helplessness. A man who once powerfully dominated others now lacked even the courage to lift his eyes and face Don Conway. Mother could no longer hold herself up and collapsed onto the floor, letting out a cry of despair. Lastly, there was the diary. Don Conway took it and casually flipped through a few pages. A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He closed the diary, and while looking at the pitiable people before him, he slowly said, "A stolen gun, and a stolen life… The Shaws are quite entertaining."
