Chapter 783: Stepdaughters In Queen's Chambers
As Wang Jian slipped out of the King's chamber, satisfaction painted his face.
The conquest of Lady Soffa had not only fulfilled his desires but had also secured him yet another valuable asset in the Spanish Royal Family. He knew he'd won the unwavering loyalty of the Queen herself, and he intended to use this to its fullest advantage.
Now, there were other matters to attend to- and so he moved swiftly to meet Mariana and Valeria, the two princesses who had proven equally valuable and loyal.
He found the princesses waiting in a secluded corner of the palace gardens, the early morning light casting a soft glow over their poised figures. Their gazes brightened as they caught sight of him, expressions filled with excitement and admiration. It had been a week since they'd seen him, but the distance had only made their feelings stronger.
As he approached, he offered a mischievous grin. "Ladies, I have some exciting news for you. Your stepmother, Lady Soffa... she's mine now."
Mariana's eyes sparkled with intrigue, her lips curving into a sly smile. "We had a feeling that would be the case. Soffa was always weak against charm and power. We knew it was only a matter of time before you'd make her yours."
Valeria glanced between her sister and Wang Jian, the admiration in her gaze now mixed with a hint of amusement. "So what's next, Wang Jian? You've conquered her... What more do you need from her?"
A knowing gleam flashed in Wang Jian's eyes. "Tonight, I'll need both of you to join me in her chamber. We're going to 'break' her once more-this time, as a family affair. She's wavering on the edge of absolute devotion, but a little reinforcement will ensure her loyalty is unbreakable."
The princesses exchanged a look, a silent understanding passing between them. They both knew what Wang Jian wanted and were more than willing to comply. Their loyalty to him had only strengthened with each passing day, and the thrill of collaborating in their stepmother's submission excited them.
Mariana placed a gentle hand on Wang Jian's arm. "Consider it done. We'll be there."
Valeria leaned in close, her voice soft yet brimming with fervor. "Anything for you, Wang Jian. We're ready to do whatever it takes."
With a satisfied nod, Wang Jian took a final glance at the royal palace. His foothold within its walls was firmly planted, and now it was time to focus on the larger scheme. As he left the palace grounds, he felt no fear of re-entry. The royal family was practically under his control, whether they realized it or not.
His next destination was the luxurious hotel where his girlfriends-Charlotte, Sarah, Bella, Jessica, and Emma-were eagerly waiting for him. He had stayed in touch with them only through phone calls for nearly a week, but it had been long enough for them to miss him greatly. When he entered the suite, he was greeted with smiles, hugs, and barely contained excitement.
Bella was the first to voice her impatience. "Well, look who finally remembered us!" she teased, playfully slapping his shoulder. "We were starting to think you'd fallen in love with the palace life."
Jessica raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with curiosity. "Did your 'stay' in the palace yield any worthwhile results?"
Emma, always the voice of warmth and support, wrapped her arms around him, smiling up at him. "We've missed you, you know. I hope your time there was worth it."
Wang Jian chuckled, basking in their affection. "I can promise you that my time there was anything but wasted. In fact, I have excellent news for all of you. Jessica, Emma, Bella... your companies-InnovateX Solutions, Lumina Lifestyle, and Elegance Global-are about to receive national contracts, and possibly a few international ones, all thanks to the Royal Family of Spain."
over the Spanish Royal Family in every possible way. Lady Soffa's submission would be complete, and with Mariana and Valeria at his side, his plans for domination were well underway.
As Wang Jian entered Lady Soffa's private chamber, he glanced back at Mariana and Valeria,
each with a sly smile curling on her lips. They had no love for their stepmother, the woman who'd wed their father for reasons that seemed more about power and position than any genuine affection. Wang Jian could sense their simmering resentment beneath their composed exteriors. Tonight, he intended to capitalize on every bit of that disdain.
Lady Soffa, seated by her vanity, looked up with a start as she noticed him enter, followed by her stepdaughters. Her surprise quickly morphed into a sultry gaze as she realized who had returned, her lips parting with anticipation.
"Wang Jian," she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper, glancing at Mariana and Valeria
with slight unease. "What... are they doing here?"
Wang Jian's grin was confident, almost predatory. "They're here to help, my dear," he replied, stepping closer to her. "Mariana and Valeria have some things they'd like to... resolve with you. Isn't that right, ladies?"
Mariana's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she stepped forward. "Yes, Wang Jian. I think it's time we address a few things. Stepmother," she said, her voice laced with mock sweetness as she sauntered closer, "you've always been so... good at taking what you want."
Valeria followed, folding her arms with a bemused expression. "Soffa, you've taken our father's favor, his resources... and his trust. But tonight," she continued, glancing at Wang Jian with a soft smile, "it seems that Wang Jian's shown us just how... replaceable you are."
Soffa's face turned pale as she struggled to maintain her composure, but Wang Jian placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, his touch steadying her. "Easy now, Lady Soffa. I'm here to bring peace to this little family... in my own way."
Soffa turned to him, her eyes filled with a conflicted mixture of admiration and trepidation. "And what does that mean, Wang Jian?" she asked, her voice soft but tense.
"It means," he said, tightening his grip on her shoulder, "that from this night onward, you'll
belong to me-completely. And these two," he nodded toward the sisters, "will watch as you give in, accepting your new place in this family."
Mariana stepped forward, leaning closer to her stepmother with a mocking smile. "Face it, Soffa. You're nothing more than a pawn now-one of Wang Jian's playthings. Just like you wanted to control us, you'll be the one controlled now."
Wang Jian chuckled, taking hold of Soffa's chin and turning her face toward him. "Let's begin,
shall we?" he whispered, his tone both commanding and seductive. He captured her lips in a possessive kiss, drawing a gasp from her as her last remnants of resistance crumbled.
Valeria watched with a smirk as Wang Jian's hands roamed over Soffa's body, guiding her to
respond. "We always knew she'd fall for power," Valeria murmured, her gaze locked on the scene before her.
Mariana crossed her arms, a wicked smile gracing her lips as Wang Jian continued, "And now, let's make sure Soffa understands her place."
