Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

So here is the new writing style, I'm going to apply in the novel:

For the thought of a character, it would be Italic.

Other than this, everything will be same for now. ^..^

-------------------------------

William knew that he would die in a few minutes if he did not sign the papers and he needed that antidote to live.

However, if he signed the papers, he would lose all the wealth and power he had.

Would a life without them be worth living?

He contemplated in his mind, he wanted to know if his life was more or less important than the wealth and power that he had to pay as a price to Ashen for his life.

Even if I die right now, my wealth and property will be passed on to Leopold, my son.

But would it be worth it?

Can he manage this much wealth by himself?

And what is the guarantee that he won't get caught in the same scheme by Ashen?

If he signed then, wouldn't my sacrifice right now be worthless?

If the wealth is going to be sacrificed anyway, wouldn't it be better to save my life right now?

Also, hasn't Ashen also lost everything, but then too, he managed to put me in this situation and is going to get all the wealth back?

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

If I get to save my life, there will be opportunities to take my wealth back.

There are many weaknesses around Ashen, I can simply kidnap his grandfather or his brother and he will return all my property and wealth to me.

Yes, This is the way, I need to save my life first and then strike back harder in the future.

Just you wait Ashen, I'll take back everything back with interest!

After completing his thought process, he signed the papers without any delay.

He believed that Ashen would comply with his words and let him leave safely since the guards and others outside wouldn't know that the Velinor family was now under Ashen's command.

"Ashen I have signed the papers, tell her to give me the antidote!" William yelled with desperation.

"Wait, William, Let me first make sure that the papers will be delivered to me. Maria, Go and throw these papers out of the window!"

The Secretary nodded as she grabbed the papers and threw them out of the window!

Afterwards, the secretary came and handed the antidote to William.

William, in a hurry, took the antidote before glaring at the secretary with hatred.

Meanwhile, the secretary fixed her gaze on the tablet: "Master Ashen, I've done as you ordered me to, Please let my husband go!"

She pleaded as William was shocked by her words: "Husband? Maria, But aren't you unmarried? How can you have a husband? I made sure that you had no relatives other than your mother whom I kept under my watch as insurance that won't let you betray me!"

"Let me answer that for you William!" Ashen's Voice came from the tablet as William paid attention to Ashen's next words.

"When I was fifteen, I managed to find the driver who was driving the truck that day when my parents died. He was in prison, I went to talk to him along with his 12-year-old daughter. Using his daughter to threaten him, I made him confess. He told me that it was your secretary who had ordered him to kill my parents. Also, that he had killed many people on your order."

"From that day on, I became vigilant and suspicion became my nature. Because of you, I became a person who couldn't fully trust anyone. Understanding that you were my ultimate enemy, I began planning for revenge."

"For that I required your Secretary to work for me, however, she had no weakness to exploit other than the mother whom you were exploiting. Hence, I decided to create a weakness for her myself."

"From then on, I began looking for men who were good at seducing women and I offered millions of dollars as a reward if they could get your secretary to fall for them such that she would betray her boss if threatened with their life. Many men tried and failed!"

"Maria was a tough opponent for even the biggest playboys of the world, however, then came along a man who had sincerely fallen in love with Maria at first sight and wanted to marry her, however, he didn't have money or status to pursue his love."

"Since I was already helping men to try and seduce Maria, I decided to help him too. I gave him some money and a fake identity with which he could meet Maria. Maria, at first treated him the same way how she had to other men, however, after seeing his sincerity, she somehow fell for him."

"They married each other without your knowledge since I was helping them from behind to escape your surveillance and it was easy since you were so confident in your control over her with her mother that you only made two men protect and spy on her. I simply made those two work under me with some means. They began giving you false reports and everything escaped your eyes."

"After that, it is today. I threatened Maria with her husband and promised her the safety of her mother and she agreed to poison you."

William's eyes were wide open in awe: "You... You were planning for that long? What kind of child are you? You monster!"

"Of course, and it wasn't easy. I first thought that threatening you with your children since kidnapping them would've been easier than all this, but then I remembered that you don't love any of your children more than your wealth and power, hence I decided to go with this plan!--"

*Cough* *Cough*

William suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood and his eyes were widened in horror and shock. It was dark again and this time, much darker and full of lumps.

"Didn't I take the antidote? Ashen, what's the meaning of this?

In response, Ashen looked at the watch and saw the time: "Oh, 5 minutes are up? William, It looks like the antidote didn't work! You'll be dying any second now!"

"WHAT??" William stood up in shock and anger and as he was about to curse Ashen: "You!.."

"ARgh!"

Suddenly, he grabbed his neck as he was not able to breathe properly and froth came out of his mouth and he fell to the ground.

Soul left his body and he died.
