"If you think he's going to be a problem for me in the future, get rid of him. I don't leave any threats unresolved," Mr. Whimper said, his phone clutched to his ear."Yes, yes, I mean end him immediately. As simple as that," he added before ending the call. "And you, what are you doing just standing there? I told you to send out the invitation cards. The party needs to happen before we leave for Paris!" He barked as he turns his attention to a nearby guard.."Yes, Sir, right away," the guard replied, rushing off without hesitation. "Mr. Whimper, Mr. Whimper, there is someone outside looking for you," one maid has she rushed to him, her voice urgent."And who is that?" Mr. Whimper asked, his fury barely contained."I don't know, Sir. The outside guard called to let us know," the maid said."Did you check the visitor bookings to see who it might be?" Mr. Whimper asked, his patience wearing thin."Yes, yes, Sir. There were no details matching the person's description on the booking lis
“I spoke with Mr. Whimper, and he said he's going to help you out,” Aunty Soso Lolo said.“And how is he going to do that?” Brindle asked sharply.Aunty Soso Lolo leaned in and whispered something into her ear.“How dare you? Do I look like a mentally unstable person?” Brindle’s anger flared, her eyes blazing with indignation.“This is the only way. Otherwise, you’re going to end up in jail,” Aunty Soso Lolo replied firmly.Breathing heavily, Brindle said nothing, her fists clenching and unclenching at her sides.“Just listen to me for once,” Aunty Soso Lolo urged. “If you want to really get revenge on them, just go along with this.”“They're going to regret this, every single one of them,” Brindle muttered, her gaze fixed on the distance as fury burned within her.“The lawyer and medical personnel will be here soon,” Aunty Soso Lolo added, watching Brindle closely."AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!" she wailed, her voice shredding the air as the memory flooded back. She knelt on the floor, facing the
"Ha! Mr. Whimper, now I understand why you saved the best for last. Immaculately perfect, a beauty like the first woman created," one man said as they all made their way towards Natalie, smiles of happiness on their faces as she descended the stairs. "Cheers to the queen of the hour," another added, raising his glass of wine as they approached. As Natalie reached the bottom of the stairs, the guests encircled her, admiring her. Mr. Whimper gently took her hand, even though she tried pulling away, and led her to the center of the room where a spotlight shone on them. "Ladies and gentlemen," he announced. "Let's raise our glasses to the enchanting queen here by my side." He slowly kissed her hand as he stared into her eyes beneath the masquerade mask. Walking slowly, he passed by a group of jubilant guests as they cheered and clinked their glasses. His gaze fixed on the center, he carefully maneuvered through the crowd and positioned himself in a corner where he could have a clear v
I was so scared," she whispered, her voice shaking as she flung her arms around Liam's neck."I won't let anything happen to you," he whispered back, his arms tightening around her as he stroked her hair.Natalie pulled away from his embrace, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at him with sorrowful eyes. "I'm sorry, Liam," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I'm sorry for not telling you everything you needed to know about me."He slowly raised his hand, his fingers brushing against her lips to silence her. "Shh," he whispered gently. "It's okay. I'm here for you. All that matters is that you're fine," he said with a slight smile, his hand cradling her face as he spoke, his thumb stroking away her tears. He leaned in, his lips brushing against her cheek in a soft, comforting kiss, then pulled her back into a tight hug."It's all going to be okay," he murmured into her hair.….…………………………"Let me in!" he shouted, his voice tinged with desperation. "You're going to lose your jobs
Sitting at a small metal table in the psychiatric hospital's dining room, Brindle poked at the unappetizing breakfast on her tray. The room was filled with the murmur of other patients, some lost in their own worlds, others engaging in muted conversations of nothingness.A group of three women, notorious for causing trouble, approached Brindle's table. One of them, a tall woman with unkempt hair, sneered down at her."Look at the little princess," she taunted, nudging Brindle's tray so the milk spilled over. "Too good for hospital food, huh?"Brindle stared at her face and clenched her fists, trying to compose herself. But the second woman, short and stout, grabbed a piece of toast off Brindle's tray, stuffed it into her mouth, and laughed hysterically."Leave me alone," Brindle said, her voice low and trembling with anger.The third woman, with a wild look in her eyes, leaned in close. "Or what? You'll cry for your mama?" she said with a laugh.Brindle's patience snapped and she stood
Natalie went to her knees. As she trembled with fear, her body shook uncontrollably. Liam quickly rushed to her side, knelt beside her, and wrapped his arms around her in a protective embrace. "You're safe now," he murmured, his voice filled with concern.Richard stood beside them, his eyes still fixed on the sky where the jet had disappeared. He clenched his fists, frustration, and anger evident on his face. He then turned and walked briskly towards the police."Make sure you find him," he said."We will make sure to trace him now. It's going to be difficult, but we will do everything we can," Officer So said while the other police officers secured the area, ensuring no further threats remained."I will keep a follow-up on this matter, I know Whimper," Richard said as he fixed his gaze back on the sky."We will keep a close watch and coordinate with international authorities. He won't get far," the officer assured.….……………………………………….Dressed in prison garb, he runs breathlessly throug
"Haha, he's such a great guy, and I know he's going to make me the happiest girl on earth," Miss Rose said with a giggle as she shuffled on the sofa next to Natalie, sipping her beer.Natalie nodded with a smile, taking a slow sip of her beer before turning to Rose. "When are you going to give love a try, Miss Rose?"Rose sighed heavily and leaned back on the sofa. "I guess I'm just too beautiful. They all probably think I'm too good for them," she said dramatically, shoving a handful of potato chips into her mouth.Natalie chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "I see," she said, looking at Rose out of the corner of her eye. "So your beauty is a curse, huh?"Rose nodded, trying to look serious despite the crumbs around her mouth. "Absolutely. It's a burden I must bear," she said, striking a mock-heroic pose.Natalie burst out laughing. "Well, maybe you need to find someone who appreciates your beauty and your love for potato chips!"Rose giggled, almost choking on her chips. "Ye
As Brindle walked into the hall, the TV mounted on the wall was playing a news segment, and the voice of the host caught her attention, causing her to stop in her tracks.In a dramatic turn of events, famous actress Natalie, who is popularly known for her role in Until I Die, was saved from the clutches of the notorious business tycoon and dark movie founder Mr. Whimper at his 25B residence after she was reported kidnapped. She is now safe and in good hands, the host announced.Brindle's eyes narrowed as she listened, her fingers gripping the arms of the chair nearby. Her heart pounded in her chest. Her eyes were glued to the screen as another host cheerfully chimed in. "And we have just learned that her wedding is soon.""Wow, another wedding. What a happy ending for her," the first host said."I know, right? She deserves all the happiness. I hope I get invited," the second host replied."Haha, me too," the first host said.A strangled cry escaped Brindle's lips as she took a step clo
