"Damn!!" Ethan said.Ethan had now shut his mouth tight.He refused to speak anymore while sulking."Anything else?" I asked their boss."You are in Canada now. So if you want to escape, think before running away""I know. Do you think I am an idiot who would try to escape, already knowing that the whole area might be surrounded by your men?......If nothing else I will take my leave."I turned towards the door and left the room. I went the same way I walked to come up here. I entered the room in which I slept last night.It's been two days since my conversation with The Cold Man in that room. I didn't leave my room in those two days. We didn't meet or talk after that. I would see Ethan daily in the training ground. Aunt Lucy would come three times a day to serve me food. Every time she would come, she would give me the same sweet smile. I am a vegetarian. Fortunately, she always brings veg food.Since The Cold Man had told me already that I will be staying here and won't be going back
Sandra's POVI was completely immersed in reading the book so I didn't notice anyone coming in. Suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I jumped in fright."Oh Maa !! " I shrieked.I was about to throw the book at the intruder but stopped midway when I saw who it was."Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I called you many times but you didn't respond so I tapped on your shoulder.""It's OK Aunt Lucy. Why were you calling me?""Young Master Ethan told me that you wanted a haircut so I brought someone.""Thank you Aunt Lucy." I smiled at her."Oh it's nothing. Do you want me to bring her now or sometime later?""If she isn't busy, she can do it now.""Ok I will bring her to your room."Saying this she went out of the library.I looked back in the room to find something to be used as a bookmark but didn't find anything.I looked in the backyard and decided to use a leaf. I entered the backyard and looked around. The backyard has many kinds of small plants, trees, and a sma
The female trainee who was named Steffany came running and stood in front of him."Show her around.""Yes Sir!!"Ethan left us after that."Follow me" She said with a serious face. She was a young woman in her late twenties or early thirties with green eyes and blonde hair. She was dressed differently from other female trainees. She might be in a higher position than them.I followed behind her. She showed me the canteen, the meeting room, dispensary(medical room) and the training ground. "Training starts at 8:00 am sharp in the morning." She said and took me to a hallway."You will be staying in this room."The room had two beds. An almirah, two small side tables and there is a window in between the two beds. The best thing is that the room has its own private bathroom. This way I won't have to share it with other females except my roommate."For the time being you will be living alone in this room."With this the tour was over. Before leaving she gave me a bag which contained two
Sandra's POVNext morning I went for a run which I had been skipping for the past two days. After that I carried the bag on my back, came out of the room and went to the kitchen for a light breakfast. "Good Morning Aunt Lucy."I greeted Aunt Lucy with a smile."Good morning darling"I noticed something about Aunt Lucy's behavior in the past few days. Whenever she is worried about something or there is something on her mind, she would call me "darling", in normal talks she would call me "dear" and when she is angry she would call me "Veronica". "What happened Aunt Lucy?"She sighed."You haven't even moved yet and I already started missing you. I am gonna miss you. A lot."I smiled."I am just moving to the building next door. I will visit you regularly and you can also visit me whenever you want. What? Is it not allowed?""Yeah. We can visit each other."But she still looked depressed. So, I gave her a tight hug. Aunt Lucy froze at first but soon returned the hug.She went to kitche
Ethan's POVAfter talking with him I walked back to the training ground. I looked around and saw everyone training. I went to the shooting range where I saw all the girls practicing shooting. That woman was missing. I became alerted as I just got a notice. But soon she appeared with Anna, with Anna pulling her. She looked a little uncomfortable, awkward. Anna looked excited as she might have made a new friend. It's Anna for you. Always energetic, excited, happy, full of life and full of hopes.She is the youngest here and has been here for two years already. She is 19 now. Looking at her smile no one could tell that she was a victim of gang rape and her family members were killed right infront of her eyes by a small town gang. We rescued her during our mission to wipe out that gang. She was only 16 at that time and stayed in a coma for a year afterward.I shifted my eyes to Veronica. She gaped at the whole shooting range. They both stopped walking then Anna started talking to her whi
Sandra's POVSoon the break was over and we again went to train. This time Steffany was also present there. She assigned partners to everyone except me and told us to fight with our partners. A girl has asked for leave during the lunch break so that's how I was the only one left without a partner to fight with."Veronica!" She called me.-Looks like she already knows my new name.-I walked to her and stood in attention."Since you are new here, you should first have some basic knowledge about fighting. Do you have any knowledge beforehand?"She asked me."If I had known how to fight beforehand then I wouldn't have been standing in front of you today. I might have been at home with my parents."I replied with sarcasm."Hmm. I'll be teaching you from now on."I nodded."Let's get started."She assigned me some exercises to increase the strengths of my hand and gave me some moves to practice first.And went away to the other girls to tell them their mistakes.The whole day till six in th
Victor's POVThe three day trip to Germany was successful. Lucas and Alex went there with me.The day my flight landed in Canada my mom called telling me to go back home tomorrow.She told me that she misses me and want to see me and also threatened that if I didn't go then she will come here and permanently shift here. After this she disconnected the call without giving me a chance to speak.I called my father. "Hi Dad. How are you doing?""I am good. Are you okay?""I am good too""Is business going well?""Very well"Then I lowered my voice." Is mom beside you?""No why"I can sense the confusion from his voice.Hearing the answer I spoke normally again."Hi Man! What's your woman planning this time?""She didn't tell me anything this time after I cheated on her for you last time.......... So I can't help you this time.""Really?""Even if I know something I won't tell you." My dad said evilly."Please help your one and only son, Dad" I tried to act cute for him."Nope. Not gonn
Victor's POVNext day I decided to catch the figure. So I hid in the jungle around the time the person sneaked out. I didn't have to wait for long. Soon she came dressed all back and went into the jungle. I followed her silently. I have been trained since childhood so she can't notice. But still I was extra careful as I still don't know who she is exactly and what she is hiding. She walked for 15 minutes approx and stood in front of a tree. There she bent down for a minute, got up and left in the direction from where she came. I came out of the hiding after she left and went to the tree to take a look.Six boiled eggs are on the ground and some crumbs of eggs around them. I stayed there for sometime and left.I followed her for three nights straight. Everyday she would sneak out at the same time, go to the same tree, stay there for a minute to put down the eggs and would leave.Everyday the previous eggs would be missing. I want to find out who is taking the eggs. I have a doubt as i
At first he was still thinking whether she might be planning something on him or not but after she signed the marriage contract he had a firm suspicion on her. -Which girl in her right mind, would sign a marriage agreement so easily, without knowing the truth?- Now he has done everything he could by giving her an opportunity to get close to him and now only has to wait for her to do whatever she wanna do. -Let's wait and see what you are planning.- He started doing his work and got busy with it. Whereas on the other side, a girl's mind was about to burst from thoughts. -Wasn't it too damn easy?- -Is he that stupid or that easy to seduce?- -If it was that easy to seduce him then she has to think about it again. She can't marry such a pervert. She will be really disappointed in him.- Veronica knew nothing happened last night. It was just a passionate kiss, initiated by her. She wasn't drunk but was acting as being drunk and was acting as if she was doing everything under the in
"Now I don't wanna know."Veronica retorted.Her eyes were filled with firmness. She doesn't want to get more embarrassed than she already was.Before Victor could start anything else she decided to escape." I need to get ready for the training so I will be leaving first."Saying that Veronica scurried away immediately.Victor watched Veronica leaving with amusement and a smile appeared on his lips.But as soon as she left his eyes his smile also vanished and his face became cold.He looked at the signed papers. He doesn't love her, at least not yet. He had his reasons for signing this marriage agreement with her but love is not one of them. But he is attracted towards her though and there is something stopping him from converting this attraction into love.His emotions were complex as he looked at the signature on the papers. The phone in his pants vibrated. He took it out and after checking the caller id he accepted the call and only said four words."Come to my office."After say
"Marriage agreement??"Veronica asked in disbelief."Incase you decline your responsibility towards me." Victor replied."Wasn't it that the guy has to be the one to take responsibility in such cases? Why am I the one taking responsibility here? And I don't even know till now what I have done to you to take responsibility.""What do you think you did?"Victor said in a mocking tone."........"Veronica really wanted to smack his face."I am not signing it unless you tell me what really happened."Victor looked at Veronica who looked nervous, confused, angry and frustrated."I knew it. You never wanted to take responsibility. Look how you have refused to sign these papers. You were just putting words and weren't planning on taking action. If not you would have signed the paper without saying anything. Now you are making excuses.""I just want to know what really happened last nig-""Excuses! Excuses! These are just Excuses. You wait here. I am gonna let everyone know what kind of person
In the middle of the night two phones dinged. Amber looked at the pic sent by Aunt Lucy and smiled.-Plan accomplished!-She put down the phone and went back to sleep. It was her plan. First she made Veronica drunk then she tipped a waiter and booked all the empty rooms in the hotel so that Victor couldn't find any room for Veronica and third step was she made a call at home telling her father to come pick her up as she was drunk, can't drive but she miss them and wanna go home tonight.Aunt Lucy was her partner in crime as she gave all the maids and servants an early off today. It wasn't a high profile plan but rather a simple one but Victor still got played in the hands of these two women. It wasn't that Victor was not smart, it was just that he never would have thought that the tricks Amber used on Lucas can also be used on him by her.He was overconfident in himself and underestimated Amber and thus was caught off guard by her. He still didn't know that he got played by his own
"Aunt Lucy, I-I will take her to the room."Without waiting for Aunt Lucy to respond he carried her princess style and walked inside the house quickly. He was flustered thus he didn't notice Aunt Lucy taking pictures in her phone with a greedy but gentle expression. She looked at the pictures she had taken and after ascertaining that the pictures looks Ok she sent it to two people. After doing that Aunt Lucy walked away towards the servant quarters while humming a tune.Victor carried Veronica to the room where she stayed when she just came here or rather say when she was kidnapped and was taken here.Although the room was not used after she emptied it, it was still clean as Aunt Lucy would from time to time ask the maids to clean it. The room looked like it was cleaned just now.Victor put Veronica on the bed and gently pushed a pillow under her head and covered her with a warm blanket. After turning on the room heater and switching off the lights he was about to exit the room when
As Veronica was pushed away she groaned as her ice cream was stolen away from her.She glared at Victor and without any warning jumped on him.When the car reached its destination, two of the three people in the car felt like their survival was in front of them after crossing a jungle full of danger.Victor stepped out of the car as soon as the car came to a halt. His well styled hairs were now unruly as if he hadn't washed his head for three days. The upper two buttons of his shirt were open and the third one was missing from its place. His face was as red as a tomato and he looked like he had taken a long sprint as he took long breaths to calm his beating heart down which was beating at an abnormal rate and he could hear his heartbeat in his ears.He looked at the car warily.Without Victor knowing the driver has already slipped away silently leaving Veronica in the car for Victor to deal with. It was the first time for him to see Victor being patient with a girl and a drunk one at
In the waiting lounge Veronica was slumped on a sofa.He asked his man to book a room for her but the man came back telling him that there is no room left in the hotel. Someone has booked all the empty rooms for tonight.He didn't know that it was someone he knows that booked all the rooms.He decided to take her home with him not knowing that he will remember this night forever all his life and wouldn't want to forget it.After contemplating for a while Victor decided to take her back home with him. She was slumped on the sofa in a weird position. First he made her sit properly and after that he carried her in his arms, princess style. She grunted a little but again fell into a deep slumber.The driver was shocked to see Victor carrying a girl in his arms but being a professional he opened the back door silently.After settling her down in the back seat Victor also sat in the back with her. She was still sleeping with half her face covered by her hairs. Her body was bending towards t
"She?"He squinted his eyes as if this would make him see the face of the girl clearly.He suddenly stood up with the laptop in his hands and went running upstairs and stopped in front of a room.He knocked on the door furiously."DAD!!! Dad!"Hearing no sound coming from the other side of the door he knocked again."Dad!"Suddenly the door opened and a middle aged man came out, his face flustered while eyes showing a killing rage."What is it?!!"From the inside of the room a woman who looked to be in her late 30's came out. She was trying to smoothen down the creases on her clothes while her face was red due to blushing."Calm down George. It might be something important.""If it's not important then I am gonna kill you today."He threatened the young man, who is his son, standing in front of him. "Why? Don't you love our son?" The woman asked."Of course I love him Dear. But I love you more." He said while giving a peck on her cheek.The woman blushed while the young man showed an
"Have a glass of orange juice, maybe you would feel better after drinking it.""Hmmm."She replied while holding her head in her hands.She looked up at me and took the glass of 'juice' I was giving her and drank it.I felt bad for playing tricks on her but what can I do? The future of my brother also matters. They will thank me later just like Lucas and Grace.After knowing that there is no one playing underhanded tricks and it was just the bride and the groom's plan I let go of whatever was stopping me from drinking .I got drunk pretty fast and so was Veronica. She was slumped on the bar counter looking at me with fuzzy eyes.Third Person's POV "Veronica…what do you think about my brother….Victor.""Cold Man." Veronica replied while playing with her hands."Huh?" Amber asked and hiccupped."Bad…. person.""No..no… he is a good …person."Veronica raised her head and looked at Amber, her face red and eyes fuzzy, her upper body was swaying a little and to avoid herself from falling f
