Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

"Lenox,it is good that you are back. Your mother and I have been worried about you," Alexander said with a smile on his face as he stared at his son who was unfazed by his comment. "I am pleased to know that lord father has time to think of me," Lenox said with a cold smile on his face." Since it is so I guess it is time you start contributing towards the ķingdom," Alexander said as he stared at his son ." Majesty, Lenox has only come back home. Why don't you let him rest?" Akira pleaded on her son's behalf." Lord father is indeed right . I also think that as your third son I should be granted an official title like the others or what do you think your majesty?" Lenox asked causing Alexander to stare at him deeply." If I am not wrong your birthday is just around the corner. We will discuss issues pertaining your title on that day or if you have something in mind you can tell me," Alexander said in a nonchalant tone as he stood up to leave so that the mother and son duo could bond after all he was not that close to Lenox. Lenox stared at his mother and bowed towards her but his mother just stared at him curiously as she sized him up. Lenox was forced to narrate his experiences to his mother of course he made sure to only speak of the good moments in the forest and skipped all the dangerous staffs that he did together with the Wolf King. He stayed with his mother in her courtyard and made sure to make up for the lost .

Days turned to months and months to years and in a twinkle of an eye and now both Lenox and Elena were now grown ups. Elena was now responsible for some of her family's business empire and was now the face of the Brilliance corporation and under her parents' guidance she has grown up to be a responsible business woman.

On this day ,in an airport in San Francisco, a beautiful woman is seen trying her best to stop her tears from falling down yet the more she tried to rein them in the more the tears fell. The woman desperately heads towards one of the counter desk. Today was supposed to be the best day of her life but all went haywire. Today was supposed to be their anniversary after dating for more than two years now so she came early on so as to prepare him a surprise but ended up being surprised instead.

Elena had been waiting for Kevin, her boyfriend, for the whole day and had made sure to prepare a good surprise that her boyfriend would have liked or so she believed especially after he was promoted as a CEO of the star industries. The star industries was also a group of industries much like the Qin group of companies and they were under the Hutton's family making it a heavyweight industry in the world market. After being promoted Kevin was transferred from one of the branch industries to the main industry as a chief executive officer. Since then the two couples have been separated for now two years. Kevin was Elena's first boyfriend and her first love whom she trusted but it was that same trust that was now shattered to pieces.

After making the preparations, Elena waited for his arrival like a dutiful wife waiting for her husband. Kevin was completely unaware of Elena's arrival as she happened to an be a spare key to open the door to his apartment. Elena just happened to open the door to a scene that completely changed her life. Her heartbeat stopped for a moment and she felt her body shudder all of a sudden when she saw two lovebirds kissing passionately. This was a scene that Elena can't get rid of no matter how much she tries. The two faces were imprinted in her mind. Elena did not need to wait to witness more or listen to anything more.

She left everything she want with at Kevin's home and did not bother to pack her things. She only left with her phone which she used to book a plane for her to leave as soon as possible. Elena was now seated at the waiting bay trying to hold herself together but nothing seemed to be working. The plane was supposed to take off in about thirty minutes time.

In the same airport,a white haired young man with an aloof aura and a handsome face is seen walking to a coffee shop as he is now tired of waiting for the plane which coincidentally happens to be the one that Elena is to board. The man is Lenox who has happens to have travelled to America to investigate a few things that he was entrusted with. He had already left the empire for a few years now and had long melded into the outside world. He has been staying in East China since then and his identity was a secret tha no one knew. Anyone who saw him could mistake him for a female due to his delicate features, his white hair, his blue eyes and a pale face that had an otherworldly charm.

Lenox had just taken his cup of coffee and was making his way back to the waiting bay when he stumbled into someone and the coffee he had just bought fell when his grip loosened smearing itself on his suit." Am sorry. So sorry," a soft voice said causing Lenox who was ready to snap at the offender to be at a loss for words but this was only for a while before he regained his bearings. He turned around and saw a beautiful maiden at the prime of her youth staring at him with purple eyes. Although her hair was all messed up and her eyes were now swollen probably due to crying for a long time. At that moment Lenox wanted to speak but no words came out. He stared at the lady in pity and did not realise he had subconsciously crushed the coffee cup in his hands. The girl tied on an handkerchief to Lenox's burnt hand before she hastily left
