FATHER I turned and flashed him a disarming smile out of the blue, destabilizing him in the process and I knew that. He probably was expecting me to get defensive but he was not worth my anger. “Have a seat please” I offered as I got behind mine and sat down comfortably. Only to look up at him and noticed he has not taken on my offer, the man was so stubborn even now he needed my help he was still acting as if he was in control, I guess we do have somethings in common after all. After a moment or two he finally sat down reluctantly. “So tell me father, what did I do to warrant such anger for you this early morning!?” I knew exactly why he was angry, in fact he was already angry with me for pulling out on the deal I made with his company and I only made him more angry with the senators stunt I just pulled I knew how much my father loves power and love to cling to it, the senator was his white whale and with how much he had tried to push the senators daughter on Ray it sho
**ODESSA POV** I stood in front of the full length mirror in the room I share with Blair, I was dressed in one of Blair’s cloths and the black cloth was very constraining giving me little to no space to properly breathe. I was more busty and curvaceous than Blair is making me on average not able to fit in a cloth she owns and as it that was not enough somehow these three weeks I did spend in Spain I sort of picked up a few pounds and now the cloth was choking me almost as if I wore a corset instead of an adjustable dress but this was the only cloth she had that could adjust and fit me and so I could not complain after all I did not bring anything with me. “Wow you look beautiful” Blair said as she walked into the room and as me trying to adjust the dress “I think I am too fat” I complained “Nonsense, you are perfect” she had a way of making me feel good about myself and I loved it. I actually looked good not withstanding the fact I was not breathing all too well but apart fr
THE POWER OF A BLACK CARD It was indeed a big store with different departments heavily stocked in all brands and sizes and the had all products available, the top brands graced their racks and it was too beautiful to just have one choice but I was suffocating. We reached casual wears and just like other departments we passed it was also very colorful and so I picked the first thing I found without even bothering to check the price tag. Took out a Jean trousers and a white top and as if sensing my urgency the staff quickly led me to the changing room giving me a bag to put my other cloth I was on inside while I changed to the one I took After changing and looking at my self in the mirror I was glad everything was a fit because it meant I would not have to go out again in search of what to wear. I admired myself and was happy with what I saw, I made a mental note to take another pair or two I stepped out of the booth smiling “How do you feel now miss!?” The staff who guide
VIVIAN AND ANDREW SCOTT It’s been a while I have been here in this house, since Elliott and I started having problems and he served me divorce papers he stopped me from visiting his parents probably because he knew they would support me and so I could not visit them. Andrew and Vivian Scott have always been like my true parents, during Elliot and I courtship and even during marriage this home was my second home. Elliott let me alone a lot and sometimes disappear for weeks because of “business meetings” and because of that I always came to spend most of my time with Vivian and Andrew, they were both retirees as they left their company in the hands of Elliott and because of that they had a lot of free time and welcomed me anytime. With how much I came over and spent time in their company one could think I was their actual daughter and Elliott was the one who married into the family and not the other way around and so therefore there was no way I could be angry at either of them f
I WAS POISONED!? “There is more!?” I heard myself ask unconsciously as I was still in shock and Andrew nodded gently in response to my question “Elliott after killing her ran.....” “Why did he have to run!?” Vivian suddenly butt in “He could have come to us and we would have known how to help me. How did he have to run!?” She asked again as she broke down once more It was very sad to watch, the truth is they really loved him especially Vivian. They could be harsh on him and admonish him when he errs but that is because they love him. Andrew held her once more as she sobbed while I just stayed there trying to process everything in my head. “So he ran away from the scene and disappeared but his finger print was all over the scene of the crime as well as the neck of the woman as he strangled her to death. Instead of coming to us or the police he made plans to flee the country and In his bid to run out of the country he was caught at the airport, quickly apprehended and that
THE REVENGE PLAN“You don’t have to give us an answer right away. We know it’s a big ask and you can’t just say yes on the spot” Andrew said coming to my rescue because I honestly had no idea what my answer would be it was just too much, coming back from the trauma of being taken and abused by Aryan only to be thrown in back again it was too much I wouldn’t know what to say to their request.“thank you very much” I said in a honest appreciation for that rescue because I did not want to disappoint them I knew what it meant for them to ask me to run the life work and company, it was the Ultimate vote of confidence anyone could give to another person especially one that isn’t family so I knew why it meant to them and I did not want to give them an answer based on emotions, I wanted to analyze it properly and know if I really want to run their company.&

**Arayn pov** I stepped out of the vehicle as i looked at the heading right above me. It read “Elysium Restaurant”. It’s been a while i visited as i had been eating in a controlled environment out of precaution as i did not know who had kidnapped Odessa and why they did that but now that I know and had everything taken care of i could once more visit for a quick lunch. Elysium restaurant was arguable the top restaurant in the state because of its cuisine which earned the restaurant a Michelin star, the meals are prepared and supervised by a world renowned chef, Adams Moore. He had made a name for himself with his meals and with this restaurant he was living his dream which according to him was to cook and serve good meals, the high end restaurant which a plate cost thousands of dollars was visited by the rich and powerful of people and because of how busy it was even they had to made reservations ahead of time to even have seat when they showed or else they might have to wai
Let me ask you a question, do you think the police do no know about me?” I asked her a rhetorical one as I turned to look at her and saw she got my point, I continued upstairs while she followed “Do you think Odessa is the first woman I have kidnapped? Don’t you think there have been more? And if that is the case would you not think there have been people who have reported and me to the police?” “There are a total of 6 bed rooms in this house, 4 are all upstairs with conjoining restrooms and even their own seating room while just two are down stairs” I said as I showed her every single room, but I was convinced her mind was not at my house tour rather it was on what I had said last. “So about what I was saying last, if there are people like that who suspected me and believe I was behind the disappearance of their love one that would beg the question why haven’t the authorities done anything about it right? And even more where are all those who believe I was behind it? where are
Lucas drove carefully as he followed Aryan’s vehicle, he did not need to as he already knew the way to his home but knowing Aryan he might not be taking them to his house, maybe one of his numerous properties, he could not Imagine Aryan carrying Blair to his real home if he does not intend to kill her afterwards “You know you should be really careful how you accept invitations in the future” he said to Blair who was sitting at the passengers seat and awfully quiet. “Yea? Why?” She asked stubbornly “You know if it were just anyone and not you that there is a big chance you might die today? Do you know that?” Blair gave a skeptical laugh “And you think he would just get away with murdering someone? Who does he think he is?” She asked as she was getting upset. It was obvious she did not know the power and influence Aryan has “You really don’t know how powerful he is?” He asked rhetorically “Just don’t upset him please. That’s all I ask because if you do I am not certain I
“You! Where are you taking her to!” She suddenly turned to face Aryan as she attacked, this was exactly what I feared, exactly what I knew should happen“Blair! Please stop, not now!” I scolded her “But that is actually a great question!” Aryan said and I was forced to turn in my seat and look up at him, this could only be a joke right!? He was supporting her attack on him?Why!?“How are you feeling Odessa?” Lucas asked after he nodded to Aryan and Dave. It looked like he was trying to lighten the mood and remind every party that this was about me. “I feel better thank you” I said with a smile, he seems to be quite nice and polite to me, unlike Dave who always seem to act like I was the origin to all his problems. I was also sure Luca was not directly related to Aryan and his evil dealings. From what I heard they are friends, Lucas could be why you would call Aryan personal doctor and Lucas has nothing to do with the deaths Aryan was involve with, I felt safe allowing him employ
Today is The day I was officially declared fit and healthy to go back home. Today I was been discharged and though it meant I was okay, I did not feel fine at all because of the worry I could not eliminate. I felt like something really bad would happen today between Aryan and Blair. Aryan was the first to arrive as he was told earlier this morning that they would keep me for a last checkup just to be sure that I am fine, and the checkup would last until noon. He walked into my room pushing a wheelchair with him and Dave followed closely behind, it was obvious they both came from the office and I could see the wheelchair was new. “Hello princess” Aryan said gleefully as he greeted me, it almost seemed as if he was the one been discharged today instead of me, he looked genuinely happy. “Aryan that is unnecessary, I am capable of walking on my own” I said to him as he arranged the chair close to my bed and came for me. That was not entirely true, yes I could walk no doubt but I ha
Odessa saw Aryan was just as he imagined. very handsome and though he knew she did not feel anything for him he still could not help but admire his beauty from afar. In the dream she reached out to touch his shoulder, only to find that there was no skin on it. His breath caught at the thought of such a thing. Her long flowing hair was dark with streaks of green interspersed among them and her eyes were large, brown, innocent looking pools filled with kindness and concern. When she looked back at him a small smile came over her face“I am sorry” she said and turned away from him, “I have been told you are a bad man, and I don’t want that kind of life”He tried to reach out again, but his hands phased through her“No” the girl said, and her voice seemed to resonate inside of his head, causing him pain, she sounded like a song, like a sweet voice singing a sweet melody, he wanted to know more about her “you are a bad man who has hurt other people and I will always be worried about what y
If you killed him I swear...” “You will what!?” He shot back at me cutting me off as he came even closer, I leaned back further into the ground in fear“I really do not see what you all see in him, he is a common rouge, a gangster” “And you are a serial killer” I had no idea why I was attacking him, I knew antagonizing him was wrong but I could not help myself, I knew he had done something to Aryan and I felt like hitting him or somethingHe laughed dryly to my accusation “Aryan have killed more people than I have or ever will, he has started gang wars and wiped out entire families and bloodlines for his own selfish reason and you call me the bad guy?” He scuffed “You are really like her! Always defending him and indulging him”I had a feeling he was talking about their mother“What did you do to Aryan!?” I demanded, I know I was going to die irrespective and did not care about my tone. “He is fine but the tail he put on you, now that is a different story but about Aryan don’t wo
The last few weeks have gone smoothly, Blair had even found them a home and they both have visited it, Odessa loved the place as the space was enough for them both to live in, so without a second thought she bought the place, they then decided to decorate it to suit their needs and so the employed an interior decorator to suit that need while they waited. After extensive remodeling the interior decorator finally called that she was done and that this weekend they both intend to move in. meanwhile Elliott was executed, the day it happened Vivian cried out her eyes and even passed out and because of that I had to move in with them and Blair followed to keep me company, I kept her company and tired to lighten her mood, if took a while but gradually it got improved, even more so I accepted to be their CEO on the clause that if I believe it was not fit for me I would quit which they both agreed, Vivian was happy I accepted the role and both Vivian and Andrew showed me the ropes. With ti
Aryan ended his call as he looked shocked and angry all at once after just reviving the call. Dave looked at him from the rear view mirror “Is everything sir!?” He asked as he noticed the scowl on Aryans face, he knows Aryan do well and can tell when he is angry“We are being attacked” Aryan said simply but Dave knew exactly what he was taking about, infact he fear this might happen and he knew what caused this “What!” He asked in shock, still shocked they had the nerve to outrightly attack Aryan, everyone the the underworld knew he was ruthless especially to those who undermines his authority, provided you know your place Aryan was always willing to allow you do your business despite being an enemy but cross him and he would not just kill you but wipe out your entire generation and name, that was how he operated, he was known as the Legacy destroyer and so if you are willing to defy him you should be okay with not just kissing your life but those who bear your name and blood. “T
“Your stories had loads of loopholes and as much as I tried sweeping it under the carpet, it just kept staring into my face. The night of the murder, Jones was at your place, and left after the murder took place, helping you make it seem like it was a break-in attack.” the detective pointed out, bringing out her phone from her pocket.“That was the CCTV footage that showed Jones leaving your place at exactly 11:05 pm, on his bike after the murder, a few minutes to when the police made their way here.” The footage showed a dark figure on a motorbike driving out of the compound.“Impressive, you're not so dumb after all,” Hazel said with a dark chuckle. “Please carry on.”“Our investigations led us to the fact that Mr. Harold isn't your real father Hazel.” The detective deadpanned, watching Hazel's eyes go widened in large saucers.“Oh please, don't act like you weren't aware.” The detective rolled her eyes.“You discovered this at one of your drunken mother's sprut, where she mistakenl
