Ares grabbed his phone and turned on the recorder. "Alright, let's start. Tell me everything about the plan that you kept on saying earlier. I want to hear every detail and don't you dare lie to me because I will let you have a companion if your statement isn't the same as her statement. You know where you will end up. Do you understand?" "Y-yes! Yes, I understand!""Good… Now, don't waste my time. Start." Ares ordered with full of authority in his voice.“What— what do you want to know? Whe-where should I start?” “I said I wanted to know every detail. Let's start at the very beginning. Can someone get me some chair?” Ares asked and one of his men immediately went to the corner and get him a chair. “Here, boss…”“Alright, so where are we? Aren’t you going to start?”Considering how anxious she felt, Vera simply swallowed. “Are you aware of how Asteria hated her sister?”“Don’t ask me some stupid question and just tell me everything. I don’t have a lot of time for you.”“I understan
“I will claim it…”“Good. Now, I want you to do something for me. Make sure that you will be able to do it properly because if not, you know where you will end up.” “What— What is it?”“I will tell you later but first you need to fix yourself. You look like a f*cking mess.” Ares mumbled and stood up. He then signed something from one of his men. Ares men immediately put a gag in Vera’s mouth and carry her and left the room. She tried to fight for her life but then her strength couldn’t even make her stand anymore. She gets so weak. “Mhmmm!” Vera moan while they were taking her in a van. After his men left the area he then left the abandoned house and went to his car. He grabbed his phone and called his secretary, Kyle.*Ringing * ringing * ringing *"Boss?” Kyle answered in the other line.“Kyle, the girl is on her way make sure to take care of her and make sure she looks presentable. We need her tomorrow.”“Yes, boss. Boss, you have a lot of meeting today. Are you going to attend
KIAThere are certain days in life that fly by and are easily forgotten because they were just another day going about your business, and then there are other days that stick out like a sore thumb as you look back on them because they were different from the monotony of daily life. But I'd say that today will go down as one of my most memorable.* Flashback *A loud ring surrounded my bag. It must be coming from my phone. I immediately stood up and went to get it. We just finished eating dinner and I was busy watching television when suddenly my phone started vibrating. I grabbed it from my bag and answered it.“Miaree?” I murmured as I answered the call.“Hi, Kia! How are you? I and Marcy are so worried about you…”“I’m fine. Ares is making sure that I am still enjoying my stay at home while the investigation still hasn’t finished. Any update in school?”“Well, as usual, the issue is still roaming around and they were criticising you but don’t worry because a lot of students are also
KIAAs I do every morning, I stretched out of bed and onto the floor while raising my arms to touch the ceiling. I got out of bed like any other day and strolled into the kitchen, where I could smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.My husband made breakfast for the two of us as soon as he woke up. The aroma of that coffee easily awakened me today despite the fact that I am not a morning person. Normally, I wouldn't have woken up that quickly, but today was different. This day seemed different from earlier days for some reason. Perhaps because I enjoyed myself so much yesterday when I did some relaxation. I have the impression that today will bring about nice things for me.“Hon, I have a very busy schedule today. So, expect me to be late. I will just order you some food so that you don’t have to cook—”“No, thanks. I got it, hon. It’s okay. I feel in a good mood today so I will just cook for myself or maybe go out.”“That would be great. Text me whenever you need anything, okay?”
She questioned whether or not she would be granted permission to leave that day.Ares jerked her head back and cast a curious glance in Vera's direction. “Maybe. If you are willing to cooperate. This is the official document of the company that your family runs. I am also already aware of the secrets that you and your family are keeping hidden. You are aware of the potential outcomes if you choose to ignore any of the advice that I give you. But that's not why I came to this place today."“Please… Please don't do anything to hurt my loved ones. I—I'll do anything you ask of me..."“Yes. Now, here is what I desired for you to do... Today, I want you to go to your school and talk to the dean there.""Why is it that you can't just do it by yourself? You have already forced me to tell you everything back there in that deserted place. Why don't you try to clear Kianna's name using that evidence?"Did I ask you to talk?" Ares inquired as he fixed a cold stare on Vera."N-no… I'm very sorry.
"Ms. Ventura, may I inquire as to the nature of your visit to this establishment? I told you that you are not permitted to come here at schools while the investigation about the cheating issues is still ongoing and has not yet been completed.Before beginning her statement, Vera took a moment to pause, bow her head, and gather her thoughts. After mustering up the bravery to admit what she had done, she walked over to the dean's office and stood before his desk. The dean is glancing at her, perplexed as to what she was doing and why she is acting in such a manner at this moment.“Are you okay, Ms. Ventura?”“Dean… "I am going to come clean about something..." Vera uttered those words in a hushed tone.“What did you just say? Do you think you could raise your voice a little bit, please, Ms. Ventura? What it is that you are trying to say is completely incomprehensible to me. The question was posed by the dean.Vera looked down at the area of her shirt where the microphone was being attac
KIAAres wasn’t able to accompany me for the whole day since he was so busy with work so I decided to do some workloads at home. After having a general cleaning of the house, I decided to go and buy some groceries. My wrists started to ache terribly as I trudged along the hard concrete road. Usually, when I took this route home, I passed all sorts of strange-looking people. The neighborhood where we lived was strange; everyone was kind, but sometimes too friendly, interfering with your privacy and asking questions about your personal life that you weren't sure how to respond to. But on this particular night, a muggy night at that, there was not a sound to be heard. Not even the giggle of an elderly guy walking by or the squeal of a tire turning around a corner could be heard. I looked down at the multiple plastic bags I was holding, which were filled with the necessary groceries I had run out to buy at the last minute for supper, while the ache in my wrists turned into severe agony.
KIAThe gloomy area had been invaded by daybreak. The sun was currently attempting to emerge from the far mountains but was failing. Even the sky is beginning to get lighter, and the roadway is already well-lit. One of the most gorgeous pictures I've ever seen is a street scene in the early morning; it never fails to leave me with feelings and impressions that will last a lifetime.The street was now vacant in the early morning when everyone was just waking up. Only a few distant yellow leaves appeared to be falling gradually to the ground, and I caught a glimpse of the shadows of two large crates on either side of the bicycles pulled by two street vendors. But I still find myself wondering about the strange encounter I had the night before. Ares appears to have noticed that I am different today despite my best efforts to disguise it from him.“Hon, are you okay?” He worriedly asked. “You look so occupied today. Did something bother you?”“No, I just… I don’t know… I feel weird and I
