This something I never wanted to pass through again.My palm was wet with sweat, and so was my forehead. I was feeling so nervous and even when I tried to contain it, the thudding sound of my heartbeat that played in my eardrums wouldn't let me.“Didn't I ask a question, what's going on?!” He roared, his voice causing everyone to flinch as murmurings spread across the room.Everyone was afraid to speak, and it showed in the way they were trying to get someone to speak up.“Speak! What the fuck was going on? Have you all suddenly gone deaf, or would you rather lose your Jobs?!” He was calm, but the way he spoke instilled fear in them and I could see them shaking just the way I was before.“You, you were the one bl

Unfortunately for her, they were still mumbling about yesterday's happenings from the mouths of the people. However, what they were saying seemed to be different.“I never knew she could be that heartless!” A girl spoke but kept quiet when I came towards her.“What's going on? Was the jewelry found?” My eyes waited for answers as they stared into the girl's soul.“Ma'am, I'm deeply sorry about yesterday, I apologize with everything I have in me. I didn't mean to join the group who accused you falsely.” My gaze became serious, and my lips pressed into a thin line which was later released with a sigh. I had thought I would spend the rest of my life in jail for a crime that I didn't commit.“It's fine. I just wanted to know if the jewelry was found. I'm afraid that the blame might still fall on me because I was the only one in tha

It's normal to face problems in life, don't you think?” She asked and I nodded. It was the truth.

What a disappointment”He bent down and gave me an upper to my jaws. My brain rattled around in my skull and I suddenly felt a sharp pain building up in my thoracic region. I knew I wouldn't last much longer, but still, I would rather die than just give out the location of my family heirloom.“We knew you will be a hard nut to crack, and as such, we have prepared various gifts for you.”Kelvin moved to the table and picked up the landline, punched a number and put it to his ear.

Iris: The Mafia’s Bride Why did you do this?
Arthur's POVI could see Kelvin, then Sebastian and Knight. No way, I was probably seeing visions. Maybe the guys had tampered with my brain, perhaps I was hallucinating. Kelvin came forward and poured a glass of ice-cold water on me. It chilled to the spine. I was certain I heard footsteps, but they were all here?“Wakey wakey”Sebastian and Knight walked towards the chair where I was strapped with leather belts like a feral animal.“Oh forgive my ungentlemanly attitude, allow me to perform a little introduction here” he said mockingly.“Sebastian, Dad meet Arthur, the prodigal son”The word dad suddenly sounded differently to his ears.“Arthur, meet Sebastian and meet my father; Knight. I've heard you guys have gotten acquainted”.I was shocked, and could feel bitterness at the same time.

All through I repeated the line of action and expected results to my men and contemplated calling for backup, but I didn't want to cause a huge scene or attack unnecessary attention to myself.
