"What the hell?" Edward snapped, a frown merred between his eyebrows, him not understanding what was happening.
A young man had referred the Chancellor of Bitmus with his surname. Not only that, he had the audacity of spatting nonsense of suspending him.
Mr. Jonas, the Chancellor paled on seeing Theodore. Immediately standing up from his seat, he came forward, rounding around his desk and standing infront of Theodore in attention.
"Mr. Alexander." He greeted, his voice nervous and somehow dripping in anxiety. "What did I do?" He questioned, without beating around the bush. The words Theodore had spoken, right after entering, had the ground slipping from his feet.
Tilting his head to the side, Theodore looked at him with blank face, his hands inside the pockets of his dress pants.
"You don't know what you did? Or more specifically what you led happened?" On seeing Chancellor shaking his head with fearful eyes, Theodore let out small tsks sound.
"What happened here?" Mr. Arnold's voice was heard, followed by fast footsteps entering inside the living hall. Edward looked up at him from the floor, his eyes mahogany and flashing in unfathomable rage and vengeance. "That son of a bitch nearly choked me to death!" He burst into fits of anger, on seeing his father as he gently pulled away from his mother's hold, who was busy inspecting the bruises on Edward's neck. These words had Mr. Arnold's face scrunching in rage. "Who dared?!" He boomed, his voice thunderous. Hitting his only son was the hard limit he had drawn the line of his tolerance, at. "That fucking Brigadier!" Edward roared with hoarse voice. All the fury dissipated from Mr. Arnold's face. Shock and disbelief flashed on his face before they got replaced by neural features, all traces of anger long gone from his face.
Shivering, she was refraining herself to open her eyes. Her face had gone pale, mind numb, not understanding how to deal with this sudden shock.Theodore was here. Inside her room. And from the tone of his voice, he did not sound happy. That had her insides curled.For few minutes, there was adhering silence around her. Only her own heartbeats audible to her ear.Then, suddenly, she sensed hot breath hitting her face before a towering body was pressed against her small one."Open those beautiful eyes, Sweetheart." His tone was seductive yet stern, letting her know he wasn't in mood of nonsense.Ever so slowly, she unfolded her eyelids, before lifting her hazel eyes that were sparkling in fear and nervousness.The fret of him finding something out there, wasn't allowing her to think straight."There's my girl." He whispered before enfolding his arms around her shivering body, engulfing her in his warm embrace.Confused, she also
There was pin drop silence inside the room. The night stands lamp brining light to certain parts, leaving the rest to shallow in darkness.In amidst of the deafening silence, Theodore's low voice was heard which had her trembled to bones."I dislike being on waiting row, Sweetheart." He had reminded her in voice that seemed to be on edge."I..." An involuntary whimper from her lips interrupted her whisper."You? Hmm? You what, Sweetheart?" He asked, his thumb rubbing her soft cheek in circular manner.Hazel swallowed the lump in her throat and looked here and there, looking for an escape. Her mind getting all worked up.Theodore noticed her eyes movement and looked down with a sigh."Go on." He suddenly backed from her, startling her."Try and run." He stated, crossing his arms over his chest."If a failed attempt of escap
Two Days Later :Mona was just done placing mug of coffees on the table when she sensed a presence.Looking up, she found Theodore coming down stairs, busy in adjusting the collars of his camouflage shirt. He was attending an important military meeting today and for that, he was dressed in his military uniform that had given a raise to his already authoritative and charming stature.Giving one curt of a nod to his mother, Theodore walked past her and sat down on his head chair. Mona sighed, seeing the dryness in his mood, very well aware of the reason.Taking a seat beside him, she looked at the vacant seat infront of her which belonged to Hazel and which had been empty from past two days.Despite Mona's constant requests and Theodore's orders, Hazel had refused to step out of her room. Mona couldn't understand what had Theodore done. He had also refused to address this ma
As Hazel stepped out of the house, the sparkling sun welcomed her with it's stinging rays, it's light shining in her eyes, causing the golden in them to twinkle.She deeply inhaled the fresh air, knowing that's what she has been craving for past two days.A hand on her back had her continuing her path to the porch before she stopped infront of the car. As she stepped forward to open the door, Chris beat her to it and pulled it for her.She looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes, surprised at his chivalry."Don't look this shocked, munchkin." Chris chuckled, "I'm just practicing for my future wife." He ended his tease with a wink.Huffing, she sat down as Chris then closed the door, rounded to his side, opened the door to his side and sat down followed by him starting the engine and car roaring to it's life.As per Theodore's instructions, they were now headed to the headquarters, much to Hazel's excitement.She
All her senses went flying out, heat rushing to her cheeks. Her back was facing him, though front view was no better.Chris was standing infront of her with smugness written all over his face, his eyes playful, lips holding a smirk."Yes, Hazel. Tell him. What were saying earlier?" Chris took teasing steps towards her, her pleading eyes evoking no ounce of mercy inside him."Stop right there." Theodore sudden order caused Chris to pause in his tracks, a frown merring his features."Take those steps back." Theodore demanded with arms crossed over his chest, his back leaned against the doorframe of his office.Confused, Chris did as he asked, Hazel also watching the scene with furrowed brows.As Chris recovered back to his initial place, Theodore nodded in approval."Now turn around and go where you are needed which I assure you, is definitely not here."Chris was dumbfounded at his words."I just wasted half of my d
"Isa."Isabel couldn't help but feel a sensual shiver running down her spine, hearing her name in Chris's voice.The way he would pronounce her name would erupt blend of sensations in her. The science was out of her range, she couldn't understand.Theodore Sir would call her by same pet name. But, to the depth Chris could go, while pronouncing the syllables was beyond her understanding."Sir," She greeted, her voice soft and polite."How is Hazel doing?"Chris could imagine the havoc Hazel would create when she would find out he has used her name as an excuse to talk with Isabel.Not that he cared. He was Isabel's boss. With or without excuse, he held all the rights to call her, physically or on the phone, during her working hours.Isabel turned around to look at Hazel who was heading towards restroom."Fine, sir. She is getting along with others very well.""That's a relief."Isabel just hummed. But
Squinting her eyes in pain, Hazel tried to open her eyes, but the unwelcoming bright light wasn't allowing her.Her first instinct was to move her hands and brings them to her face but on finding her arms cuffed, a wave of fear washed over her.And that's when it hit her.Everything came rushing to her mind with speed of light, causing her heart to drop, it's mild beats in sync with the thundering, drumming ones.The anastasia was still in her system that was disallowing her to wiggle her weak bones.Opening her swollen eyes, she first looked up to see the source of lightning.A dim bulb.It was hanging from the ceiling, right above her head. The rest area around her was an abyss of darkness, causing fear to erupt inside her.She discovered, she was tightly bounded to a wooden chair, rough ropes were digging in her skin, making her wince in pain.She was confused.What had happened?After pressuring her min
