The angry murmurs made Arthur shut his eyes tight in disappointment; his only son had brought him nothing but shame and dragged his name through the mud." Is he not going to show up?", one of the board members asked angrily.Unable to utter an apology statement after they've been waiting for hours. He flipped his eyes open and turned to the Members in the room." Let's proceed with his relegation", he announced.Victor's removal was approached, and with no reason to remain in the room; Arthur stormed out of the room, walked briskly out of the company, went towards his car, and hastily jumped in. With furiosity, he drove to his house and dashed into the sitting room where he met his wife and daughter." Where's your son?", he asked angrily," You came back early today, honey..."," I asked, where is your son?" he yelled angrily, startling and cutting Noely short. She was surprised to see him that angry, and the way he angrily loosened his tie and rolled up his sleeves, she knew he was
Alice belched and frowned, she was rubbing her stomach weakly as the feeling of nauseousness and fatigue kept settling in. She was worried and, at the same time, assured that the symptoms she had been feeling had no reason to be alarming." It can't be what I'm thinking, right? I haven't had sex for a while now. Ramses and I broke up, and it's been more than half a year since I had sex with Victor, so there's no way it's what I'm thinking", she said assuring herself.She saw Ferdinand rush in just then." Dad? What happened to your face?", she asked upon seeing his bruised face." What's my wife?"," She's in her room", she replied still puzzled about his looks.' he didn't come home last night, and now he showed up looking deranged,' Alice said in her mind as she watched him rush upstairs." Patricia!", he shouted her name before barging into her room." Why is the cheater yelling my name like that?", she glared up at him, " anything I can help you with?"," I know I did something wr
" Are you going to keep pretending like you don't know why you're here?" he asked, taking dangerous and calculative steps toward Victor.Without getting to him, Victor began to pee. He cried in fear and humiliation." I don't know, I swear I don't know but whatever it is I'm very sorry", he pleaded," Sorry? What's the meaning of that?" he asked innocently as he squatted in front of him, his eyes focused on his legs." Please! Please, I'm begging you", he cried, but what followed next was his deafening scream, which didn't satisfy Christian.He had just stabbed his foot so deep and pulled the knife immediately, slowly bringing the knife to his face for him to see it dripping with his blood." Still don't know why you're here?"," I know! I know!", he shouted, screaming in agony." Now tell me", " I'm so sorry; I was drunk that night and wasn't in my right senses."Christian furrowed his brow in confusion, " what are you confessing?",Victor, who is now drenched in sweat and tears, sa
Slowly, Clarisse flickered her eyes open to the white ceiling and the beautiful round chandelier. Her eyes dance across the strange room, occupied with few but yet beautiful furniture. The wall had no portrait, the desk was empty, and the wardrobe looked like it had never been opened. The room was uncomfortably quiet and empty even though it was bright and simple.She could hear the indistinct sound of the chirping birds, the gentle rustles of the leaves, and the continuous breeze that seeps in. She sat up gently with a headache that caused her to groan; she wanted to peep out of the window when the door burst open, and the last person she expected to see strode in." Kyle?"," Oh!", he grinned happily, " see who's finally awake, I was already getting scared"," Why would you be scared? And, where am I ?"," My house", he replied, grinning, and sat on the bed, next to her thigh. Clarisse moved away slightly, not comfortable with him sitting on the same bed with her. " Why am I in yo
"Someone like you might not want to be here," Blue said as they walked into her apartment." What am I like?" he asked, looking around the room." A wealthy, pompous kid?"," I believe you mean the antonym of those last two nonsense words, "he said, looking around the room.The room is small but impeccably kept, showcasing its owner’s careful, organized nature. The walls weren't decorated with expensive wallpapers, but neatly hung over it were a few paintings of hers which she made by herself. They were proudly displayed. Each one, though simple, is full of life—scenes of nature, bright flowers, and quiet still-lifes, lovingly framed in basic wooden borders. They add warmth and personality to the space, a testament to her quiet creativity.After admiring the paintings with a smile on his face, his gaze moved to her small bed that was neatly made with a carefully folded patchwork quilt." I love this room arrangement," he was forced to say, " the arrangement was made with thought; it m
Christian strode past the guards at the doorstep and walked into the room. Grandfather turned to him as he walked in." Why are you looking so homeless?", he queried the moment he entered the room. " I've been busy", he said walking towards him," Enough to make you look this haggard? Is something up?"," No"," It can't be about the rumors circulating.. woof! Woof!", his statement was interrupted by a cough," Stop talking, it's not the rumors and I'm good", " But you don't look good boy"," I'm here; you called for me," he said as he finally got to where he was lying.Christian watched him laying on the hospital bed with hospital wear and drip being passed into him; he said no word to him and just stood beside him, looking unkempt with no expression on his face."Tell me, if nothing is up then where have you been?"," Taking up a challenge"," Is the challenge that tough?", Grandfather asked trying to sit up while he quickly helped him with it, " thank you "," Hm", Christian nodd
On the last floor of a three-story building, staring out of the window, is Clarisse, looking disappointed and hopeless. She stared down out of the building to see that her intention of jumping out of the window wasn't possible. The house is extravagant; it is surrounded by nature, and the furniture is simple and luxurious, telling the nature and the wealth of the owner, but none of this entices Clarisse. None of the beauties she's seeing could ever be compared to her home, and the person who makes everything beautiful is also not there.How can such a beautiful building be in a place of nowhere?She thought, thinking of screaming to see if anyone would surface but looking around once again, all she sees is nothing but forest. Her shoulders dropped, and her face was clouded with worries and fears.' I wonder how he's doing,' she thought in her mind staring out of space, ' he'll be so worried; what's he doing currently? Is he searching for me? What if he thinks that I ran away? He would
It was long for Invisible Two to know the reason behind Christian's restlessness, and it wasn't a slap to Christian only but also to him that The underworld supreme one's wife was kidnapped, and for four days now, she hadn't been found. Every attempt was fruitless; they found nothing at the end of the day. He finds it so disrespectful, not only to Christian, but to himself and their clan, and he makes sure that the news doesn't spread to the clans, which is successful cause no one knows or recognizes who the supreme one is, only Damien. Invisible Two stood behind Christian, calculating his steps to him. He wasn't only worried for the kidnapper but also Christian; he looked too restless, he hadn't eaten or slept for days, his hair was unkempt, and all he takes is hamburger and coffee, and he took it once a day. He wasn't hesitant to go meet him, but he had to; he was worried that his health might have deteriorated by the time they found her. " My lord", he called quietly, " Speak",
