“WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING?!” A man shouted as he was getting dragged and tied to a chair forcefully by three men. Those men were dressed in black suits.
The whole room was filled with people, terrified and quiet. Sweat trickled down their foreheads, and their hands became frigid as they watched that scene happen in front of their eyes.
Some looked away, some closed their eyes, and some started praying that they could get out of there soon.
It was happening just cause that man had been provoking a commotion this whole time and rebelled against what the kidnappers had told them to do.
“You asked for it, darling." A female voice came from outside, and all eyes went in that direction.
The door opened, and the sudden light was blinding to their eyes, for the room was quite dark. As their eyes adapted to the light, that figure became clearer with the passing time.
It was a girl who entered that room; fair skin tone and mid-length brown hair. She wore a beige coat over a white shirt and black pants, which complemented her sleek figure. She appeared to be in her early twenties, but her attitude made them deny this fact. Her hazel colored eyes were filled with confidence, and no fear was visible in them, even in that tense situation. She held a loaded gun in her hand and seemed to be the boss for all those black-suit-men bowed as she entered the room.
“We did ask you politely but you decided to be a rebel." She said, and they all looked at her in confusion. As far as they could remember, kidnapping someone is not considered polite.
"Try to remember, you got an invitation, just a few days ago, that asked you to attend an auction. But you ignored it, that's when you risked your life and especially...your business. So now you gotta pay for not obeying our orders, the people who created you." She said and glanced at the guards standing beside that young guy.
One of them punched him the next second. The people in that room gasped and were filled with fear. Their fear increased as she walked past them. She was headed towards that man who was tied at the end of the room. They forgot what she had said earlier due to that mess.
“You’re the one who kidnapped us?” He asked and looked at her as she stood in front of him.
His eye was bruised, and his lower lip had started bleeding, but it didn’t look like he was giving up anytime soon. He continued thinking about her words, and he only saw one possible result.
“Who else would it be?” She said and sat on the edge of the table. Even though the situation was pretty tense, they had kidnapped all those 'rich' businessmen all at once. She looked pretty calm as if she wouldn't care even if they got caught.
“This is Astley family's company, how did you get into this building?” He asked and was provoking her to know the whole truth; the room was filled with gasps as the people started remembering the Astley family.
The Astley family owned the most dangerous underworld organization, the Y organization. People only knew their name; no one even knew who the leader was. One day the whole organization suddenly vanished from the underworld. Now that this name was brought up again, it just meant that this was just the silence before the storm that was going to come soon. The queen was back in this game.
“You are not capable of doing anything to us, you have no idea how powerful we are. No matter what you do, we aren't gonna compromise!” He said as he stared at her with no fear in his eyes. “You’re just a fucking thief…”
*thud*
She slapped him across the face, which was followed by pin-drop silence. Her expressions were cold and heartless as if she could kill him and not even flinch.
He went silent and was more shocked than scared. He was not expecting anything like this, especially from her. He had previously thought that they were just normal kidnappers asking for money, but it seemed to be bigger than that.
“You talk too much,” She complained and took out her gun, holding him at her gunpoint. “I know exactly how powerful you guys are. I also know how many drugs you have sold and how many people you have killed to get that power.”
Her words were followed by pin-drop silence; those businessmen could not believe how she knew the secrets that even their families did not know.
“Well, time is up, baby. I gave you a chance to compromise, too bad you did not take it.” She said as she reloaded the gun.
“Who are you and how do you know all those things?” He asked and looked kinda terrified, for he did not want to get exposed in front of the world. It would mean an end to his whole career.
“Oh wow!” She smiled and looked at him. "You all are my customers after all, how would I not know.” She said, and his eyes widened as he heard her words.
They all remembered that they used to do all such trades with Y organizations. Her saying something like that just meant one thing. That guy stared at her for a second and then gulped before he spoke up. His lips quivered as he opened his mouth.
“Y…you…a...are…” He stuttered and looked scared.
“Summer Astley.” She cleared his doubt and placed her finger on the trigger, about to shoot him any second. All the hostages were shocked and looked at each other's faces.
The girl standing in front of them was Summer Astley, the only heir of the Astley family. And it just meant that the tigress was back in the game to conquer her kingdom when no one had expected it to happen for their name was last heard almost 7 years ago.
“I’m sorry, master.” That guy begged and started crying.
Even though their name wasn’t so popular now, but people knew how dangerous and brutal the people from the Astley family could be. They didn’t dare go against her and quietly signed the documents which were placed in front of them.
The documents stated that they were giving up their powers and considering her their boss from then on. She'd let them stay the leaders for the company, but they had to follow her orders and give up everything whenever she asked them to. She was making them her puppets, leaving them no choice to refuse.
That guy bowed in front of her, and she slowly lowered her gun. The guard threw the documents on him. He picked up the pen and started signing the document.
She tilted her head and a faint smile formed on her face. “Now that is like a good boy.” She sat back on the table. “You better know your place.” She said as she pinched his chin, making him look directly into her eyes. He started shivering at the very instant, for all he saw in them was coldness and no sign of any warmth.
“I...I am sorry, mam…” He said, and his eyes filled with tears because of fear and anxiety. She smiled as she saw him in that state, for she felt a sense of control and superiority over him.
“All these years you people have just used the Y organization but now it is time for you to pay back." She stood up and started walking around the room; all those hostages were filled with fear.
"You have to help us get back in this game and remember you have no choice to refuse. We helped you reach these heights so you better know we also have the power to make you fall on the ground. You’d better be careful from now on.” She threatened them with a cold expression in her eyes that sent chills down their spine.
Her words sounded familiar; they were similar to what the old leader used to say. They had never seen him, for he always hid behind the curtains, but only his words were enough to make them fear death. The same was happening in this situation, and it made them believe that she was indeed their daughter.
She smiled as she saw them tremble in fear, hesitant to even look at her in her eyes. She glanced at the guards, and it was enough to make them understand that the play was over, and now it was time to clear all the traces.
She walked out of the room, her heels clicking and echoing in the empty hallway for a long time, not letting them even breathe in relief.
The guards collected the documents and warned all of them once again not to let any words out, or they would destroy their lives. They then started sending them back from where they had kidnapped them.
“Amy, everything is set…” Jane, her assistant, said as she ran up to her. “They all signed the documents and agreed to work for us so we can start the plan whenever we want.”
“Good…” Amy said and was walking out of that building. “Ask our people to keep an eye on all of them and kill them if they even try to go against us.” Her expressions turned dark in no time. Jane nodded. Theo, one of her bodyguards, tagged along with them.
“For now, we just have to wait for some time. We still have to prepare a few things. So for now, stay in the hideout.” Amy said, and the other two nodded along and became a little more serious.
They knew that even a single mistake would result in failure and them getting killed.
“We have got closer to the final step now…it would not take much time until I meet them. I wanna see their reaction when they see me again after all these years that have passed…”
Cars honking in the background and the hustle-bustle of the world outside filled the silence in the car. No one spoke a word in the car; they did not even look at each other once.Amy was working on her tablet, examining documents, and checking different reports.They were going to make an official announcement of their return soon, so there was a lot of work that needed to be done
"Mam, the Elder Master wishes to see you..." The guards said, and the atmosphere became tense. The assistants looked at each other nervously. By elder master, the guard referred to her maternal grandfather, George Torres. He was the one who raised her, and that villa originally belonged to him.Amy asked them to go to the study and do the work that they were assigned.She went to h
*Bang*Several smoke bombs burst at once, and the whole area got filled with smoke; it became difficult for them to see anything. The guards heard unfamiliar footsteps passing them, but they all were helpless. If they did shoot, there were high chances that it might hit an undesirable target.They focussed hard and were able to see as the smoke decreased a little bit, which was quite impossible for a commoner.As the smoke cleared a little, they noticed that a young guy was standing in front of them; he held a gun in his hand, which was nothing compared to theirs. He wore a cap and black clothes with a leather jacket. They couldn't see his face clearly, no matter how hard they focussed."Nobody kills him!" Theo ordered through the microphones as he was coming closer to where they stood. The guards nodded in response and started walking towards that young guy.That guy held his gun with both of his hands; he pointed it toward
*Warning: This chapter contains some abusive and sexual actions that some readers might find triggering or uncomfortable.""Bitch, what the hell are you doing?" A guy said as he grabbed the girl's hair, who was sitting on her knees in front of him. She was naked and shivering with fear.Th
"Let this game begin now.""Our warehouse is on fire..." The assistant said hesitantly. The second they heard those words, they both froze.The warehouse he was talking about was the headquarter of the AB org., where they did all the dirty work- selling drugs, weapons, and sometimes even killing their targets. And by 'targets' I do not mean the people who are after or against them; I mean the people who are an obstacle in their way to power."What!!?" Thomas asked and was in denial."Someone set the warehouse on fire, sir." The assistant repeated and time in a more confident tone. The minute someone went weak in front of them...he was dead."HOW THE HELL CAN THIS HAPPEN!!? WHAT ABOUT THE SECURITY?!!" He shouted as he stood up from his chair with full force, making it go back rolling and bang into the wall."WHAT ABOUT THE CAMERAS?!" He banged his h
*AB headquarters*Thomas and Oliver were horrified to see their brick build warehouse, which had high windows, burn into ruins. The trails of smoke reached the sky, and the flames of fire were coming out of the windows. They could predict that nothing would have remained there by this point.They were shocked to see their 'hard work' turn into ash.
The others stood by the truck and waited for Amy to come back. They all were confused about why she went to the other side of the building.Suddenly the sound of boots clicking filled the silent night, and they all looked up. They could see that figure clearly as she walked closer, towards the lights that were in the truck.Their eyes widened as they saw her state. Her hand was ble
"Mam, there is some issue with the auction." Jane said as she came running towards that room."What went wrong now?" Amy asked and was a little shocked cause everything was going pretty perfectly so far.Jane hesitated after seeing Chris sitting in her lap. The orders were not to speak anything in front of him."Oh, just speak." Chris said in frustration. He was getting excited to know what she was talking about. Amy glared at him."Don't." She said in a stern voice, and he went quiet. Amy got up and patted his head, making him smile the next second.Amy looked at Jane and nodded, asking her to speak further."Uh...oh..." Jane said and walked towards her."One of our partners for the auction..." She said, and she showed her a photo of that guy on her tab."He is the biggest shareholder... um... he ran away.""How? You guys were so sure that everythng was working out well." Amy said and
“So what’s the new plan, sir?” Ryan asked hesitantly and they all waited for the big boss to give them the new orders. They were still in the office, the big boss sitting on the head’s seat with his legs kept on the table as he stared at the ceiling, a soft smile on his face as he thought of how he would torture Amy.He was a middle-aged man, who wore fancy suits and walked with a cane coated in gold. His aura was similar to Amy’s cold and scary. No one dared speak in front of him as they knew very well that he could shoot them without any second thought if they got on his nerves. Oliver was still standing beside Ryan and the big boss’s assistant, Roy, was also present in that room. He was one of the most dangerous people in the underworld.“We can send you back to her for spying.” Roy said to Ryan as he was annoyed at him for failing such an easy mission. Ryan rolled his eyes as he was tired of hearing his taunts.“Kidnap her son and kill the old hag.” He ordered and the smile got
Chapter 26*Thud* A sound of something heavy being dropped followed by car tires screeching on the empty road. It was 3 in the morning, and there was no one in the huge building of the AB organization. And just now, Alex’s men had thrown Ryan in front of the building as instructed by Amy.It was sort of a test for him again, that Amy had planned especially for him, shebwas playing with him again, controlling everything he did. And once again he had no idea of that.She had done so many things just to make him fall for her and he did, unknowingly. Although she did break him completely by the end. At the same time, she also told him the harsh truth that would make him question whose side to take. There was a tracker on him already, so they could hear everything. No matter what he did, he was trapped ei
Ryan was resting in his room as instructed by the doctor when one of the guards informed him that Amy wanted him to go to the ZQ bar. He was quite shocked after hearing that. Amy was part of the underworld but he could never see her as someone who would go to bars and get wasted to the point of dying. Therefore, he was confused about why she called him to a bar. He had never heard of ZQ bar before.
“What the hell are you planning to do?” Aaron asked her as she walked out of the darkroom. He was standing outside, anxiously waiting for her, as soon as he found out that she was back at the mansion. But to everyone's surprise, she went to the cemetery which she never did before. Of course, she was the one who was responsible for maintaining it but she never visited it herself as it just reminded her of the dark past which was filled with pain and loneliness and those
“Think before you say anything.” She warned him. Holding Ryan on the edge of a knife. He held his breath and was trembling at this point.“What were you doing in my room and at the cemetery?” She asked him and pulled back the knife. Now she was standing in front of him. He could see that she was angry but was still holding back from being too
It was a new morning and a new hope. Everyone in the mansion had started working but little did they all know, there was someone sneaking around under their nose. As we all can tell it was none other than Ryan. He was looking for some secrets to blackmail Amy. Hiding away from people’s eyes he sneaked into Amy’s room that no one was allowed to enter.The
Amy smiled on seeing that sight; Sam aka Ryan standing on top of the unconscious guards. She was waiting for this to happen. The gang on the other hand were shocked and took out their guns at once. Amy stopped them as they pointed their guns at him."Amy this can be dangerous, step back!" Theo said in a worried tone.
"Be ready." She turned towards Thomas. Her eyes were cold and lifeless. "Everything you own will be destroyed soon...including that boss of yours." A cold shiver went down his spine as he was forced to look into her eyes.Their jaws dropped on hearing that. How could she know about their boss? No one even knew that he existed. Then how could she?Amy smiled cause she had just achieved one victory. She made them fall out of their bubble of happiness and showed them that she could still win. The Astley Empire never lost its power. They were still strong enough to take back everything they had lost. She stepped back a little, her eyes fixed at that slump figure in front of her- lost and nervous after hearing her words."See you soon." She said and turned around towards the door. In a few moments, the whole room was cleared from the whole gang, but they left behind those two broken people who were shivering from fear that she had just planted in them."What t
" Let's go!" Amy said and she turned around to go outside. The trio of boys nodded and they started closing everything and were done within minutes. Sam was puzzled by their actions."Was it their plan?" He thought as he solved the mystery that caught him for so long. "They wanted to lure them to her!" He jumped up at the thought of that, what will Thomas do to him for ruining everything."Where are you going?" Sam asked her as he rushed to her. He looked anxious and scared; all he could think of was what would happen to him if she went there. He didn't know anything about this plan and was freaking out as figured it. Thomas was going to kill him for letting this happen.Amy smiled as she saw him panic. He freaked out and let down his mark without even realizing it. He didn't think about the outcome of his carelessness."Just stay here." She said coldly. But he didn't back away at the right time."I...I don't feel well. Can you stay with me?" He sa
