Despite seeing his hostile expression, Zac merely feigned a faint smile. “You want to kill me? I highly advise against having such a thought. See that phone on the table?” As he spoke, he reached out to flip over the phone that was facing down, revealing its bright screen. Apparently, the screen displayed that the phone had been on a call for more than ten minutes the same duration since Dominik came in.
“Should I die, your plans will be exposed to the world. By then, you’ll be a betrayer, an abhorred usurper to the hidden clan that will be resented forever.” Zac chortled as he spoke. “Oh, Dominik! You claim to be superior to everyone else, but all you value is your pride. I suppose you don’t even dare to lay a finger on me, isn’t that right?”
Undeniably, Zac was the sliest of all men, having secretly observed Dominik all this time and refraining from making a move on him, only to threaten him on the night before the ascension ceremony.
That was a fatal impact to Dominik as his decades of commitment and hard work, in addition to his long-built reputation, might be destroyed in one night, and there was no way he could face such a humiliating end.
Seeing him stand still, Zac raised his eyebrows as he snubbed out his cigar in the ashtray. He then got up and walked toward Dominik before pinching his cheek with his fingers, his eyes ogling across his face. “Dominik, I have adored you for a very long time.” He leaned in toward Dominik and gently pecked his lips before holding his hand and dragging him to the bedroom.
That night, Zac was deeply satisfied as his wish came true. As a master in bed, it didn’t take him long to completely ‘conquer” Dominik. Though, perhaps it was thanks to true love that he turned from dominant to submissive, willingly “serving Dominik
Dominik, who initially felt humiliated, had his first taste of such bliss and eventually gave in to lust. As they fooled around in pleasure, satisfying each other, he would “give and take,” drowned in total euphoria. At the break of dawn, Dominik snuggled in Zac’s arms. “I could never have imagined such elation in the world.”
“Humans often associate relationships as a means to propagate their legacy, but I’d say what we possess is true love.” Zac chuckled and added, “It’s getting late. You should go and get ready. My sniper is right outside. Bring him. into the palace with you, or he won’t be able to get in with the tight security surrounding the palace.”
“Okay.” Dominik nodded. He then tidied himself before exiting the bedroom. As soon as the door was shut, extreme hostility and murderous intent surged in his eyes. Reaching the living room, he glanced at Troy, who was standing by the door. “You’re the sniper Zac mentioned?”
Troy subtly nodded. “Yes.” “Come with me.” And so, Dominik left with him. Hours before that, in the palace, Eleanor fell asleep in the side hall.
Worried that she might be insomniac from the nerves, Tanya went to her, only to find her in deep sleep. With that, she sighed and shook her head. “What an ambitious girl.” She wanted to wake Eleanor up, but after thinking about it, since she had given Eleanor all the advice and instructions she needed to, she decided to let her rest.
Thus, Tanya left the side hall and returned to her own chamber. As she was getting ready to sleep, a servant knocked on the door to her room. “Queen Tanya, Prince Liam is here.” “Liam?” Despite being confused by Liam’s visit, Tanya replied, “Let him in.”
Seconds later, the door was opened, and Liam entered. “You’re resting, Mother?” he asked.
“Yes, I was about to. Why are you here this late?” Tanya got up and poured him a cup of tea as she signaled him to take a seat on the couch.
