The Crimson Trail of Death Tension and Games
[Adrian's POV]I felt her gaze on me as I treated the bruises on her skin, returning the first aid kit after."Try to get some rest now. I will handle everything; don't worry," I said, leaving the room after. I made my way outside the mansion, walking to the courtyard. I grabbed a shotgun in a swift mode, aiming it as I shot without blinking.But yet, that did little to calm me down."I thought you didn't like hunting," a voice caught my attention, and my eyes landed on Uncle Gavin approaching me."I still don't; I just need something to calm my anger down a bit," I said, releasing another shot."I know you must be angry about what Lucas did to Sierra. I mean, I stood quite shocked to know he could even think of such a thing and try it here in Marc's mansion. It was a death-welcoming for him," Uncle Gavin said."I am not angry because of what he did to Sierra, Uncle Gavin," I said, watching an exclaimed look on Uncle Gavin's face. "Wait, why are you angry then?" he questioned."I foun

Elena and I had been friends right when my dad had brought me and my brother here to stay with my uncle. Those days were when I would sneak out of the mansion, tired of the cruel acts, only to bump into Elena one day at the doorstep."Dad just killed Mom," she kept on mumbling at our mansion doorstep.Elena's dad was a drug lord, feared in his territory, but yet, all knew he was no match for Uncle Marc's and still showed respect whenever around him.Her dad killing her mom was a sight I knew she could possibly find hard to forget. I had to help her out of it while also trying to help my weak brother, who now thinks he's the great one.Each day, she would wake up screaming like hell. I guess she wasn't used to the real world back then. All I could remember last was her traveling out of the country to go stay with her mom's family. Well, that was what Uncle Marc's said.But yet, it stood shocking to gaze upon her today after the many years, and yet it feels like it hadn't been that long

[Dominic's POV]Walking through the hall, my ears caught a buzz, and I pulled out my phone. My gaze landed on the caller ID; it was Nate. Why could he be calling me? Was something up with the club? Well, I hoped it wasn't anything too serious. I didn't leave him in charge for nothing.I picked up the call. "What happened, Nate? Why are you calling?" I questioned, hoping to get straight to the point."Well, I'm sorry that I didn't inform you about this before, boss, but there has been an issue lately," he said."Issue? What issue, Nate?" My brow raised, anticipating his response."Well, there have been four breaches in the contracts and two escapes lately," he explained."What?!" I yelled, trying to maintain my calm demeanor afterward. "I'm sorry, boss. One of the workers killed a client, two drugged a client, and two more escaped after figuring out some of our dealings," Nate continued."What do you mean, Nate? Can't you handle things with me being away for a few days?" I demanded."I

[Sierra's POV]I stepped out of the bathroom after washing my face from the bloodstains. I found it hard to rest my head; my mind was still reeling from the incident that just occurred. I could tell from the silence that echoed around that the party had ended and everyone had left the mansion. Well, that was expected, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that he would kill his own nephew just like that, in a single shot. His eyes showed no remorse for it. They were truly all devils known by their name, and such wouldn't hesitate to kill a common stranger.I should really be careful from now on. It seems keeping a low profile would have to stay much longer if I wanted to leave to carry out my revenge. I can't let him find out that I am after Dominic and that the marriage between Adrian and I is just a contract marriage. I can't imagine what he would do after finding out.My ears caught a knock on my door, which jolted me up from the bed. "Who's there?" I questioned, receiving no answer

My ears grasp on a whisper, which was louder, as a bump on the mansion entrance door caught my attention, and my eyes landed on Adrian, brought in by one of the helpers."Please, be careful, sir," she uttered, trying to maintain his staggering manner. From his darting legs and mumbling words, I could tell that he was drunk."Oh, my Adrian!" A yell escaped as I watched a hand on Adrian push the helper away. "I can take him in myself." My gaze landed on the same girl who had bumped into me at the party, the same one who called herself his friend—Elena, or what was her name again?But then her heel slipped, landing on the couch afterward with her shutting up immediately.But why was she still in the mansion? The party had ended, and everyone had left. I could tell they both had too much to drink. He had stopped me from drinking at the party, claiming the ideal wife stuff, but he was allowed to do what he liked, limiting my own choices."Hey, what are you thinking?" A snap drew my attenti

[Adrian's POV]Chuckles echoed loudly; my vision blurred from it all—two men arguing, or were there three? No, four..."I shall expose you and your brother; your whole family shall burn to ashes, Victor.""You don't have to do this, Mr. Patrick Elias. Stay out of all this and look after your precious family," I heard my father say.A painful slice slammed through my brain, causing my eyes to jolt open. I found myself in my room, confused about what had happened yesterday. The last thing I could remember was going to get some drinks. No, wait... I remembered entering the mansion."But why does my head hurt so much? I mean, I was quite used to drinking, except... could she--" I whispered, murmuring to myself, trying to put things together. My only thought was of Elena and the guess that she mixed my drinks with some pills.I stood up from the bed after, hoping to question her as I opened my room door, only to feel a pulse on me as my eyes caught sight of Elena already at my room doorstep

"What are you doing here, Adrian?" A voice caught my attention as my eyes landed on Uncle Gavin."I thought Sierra had gone to call you downstairs," he said.I guessed that's why she was there. "For what, Uncle Gavin?" I questioned."Well, dinner is ready, and Marc insists you all come down.""Alright, Uncle Gavin. I shall freshen up first, then come down," I said, watching Uncle Gavin leave a nod as he turned, hoping to leave after. "Uncle Gavin, do you happen to know anybody by the name 'Patrick Elias' and what connection he had with my father?" I blurted, watching a halt in his legs as his gaze turned to meet mine. I caught sight of a pale look, which flickered in an instant, replaced by a forced smile. "I don't have any idea who that is, Adrian," he said sharply, but yet I couldn't find myself to believe what Uncle Gavin was saying."Alright, Uncle Gavin," I said, and he left afterward."Was he truly telling the truth? Could Uncle Gavin be lying?" I thought, confused. Was it just

[Sierra's POV]Watching Adrian leave, my mind still lingered on his words, mentioning my dad. How does he know my dad's name?I wondered through my thoughts, but I guessed that maybe he found out. I mean, just like he knew about my uncle and everything about me when he brought up the deal.I just had to shake off the thoughts, and I was sure he didn't recall anything that occurred last night either.Well, I just wanted to forget it as well. My gaze shifted to Elena, who was lying on the bed. I had recalled seeing him beside her when I was making my way to in, as he helped her into the bed."Did she faint or what?" I made my way, walking through the hall after, when my eyes landed on Adrian, who was walking past me as he made his way back into the room.I couldn't help but notice Dominic's absence for a while now. Where could he possibly be, and what was he up to? I needed to keep my eyes on him and know every single thing he does while keeping my identity a secret.I needed to know h

The Crimson Trail of Death Unspoken Confessions
[Sierra's POV]After some days staying in the hospital, I was discharged. I made my way out of the hospital supported by some men hired for my security, as I entered the back seat of the car with the driver starting the car engine. My gaze glanced through the dark street; it was late at night.It felt as though everything was complete—Uncle was in jail, and Nate was dead. Yet, why did I feel like I had nothing else to look up to?The people I most cherished were gone. The only one I saw next to me was Aunt Malisa. "I have to keep going for her sake..." I thought.The driver arrived at the mansion, and I stepped out, managing some footings. I made my way into the mansion but paused, noting the dark presence the mansion left."What happened to the lights..." I wondered. I wasn't able to tell anything—my heart raced as I took little steps. Was I maybe wrong to think everything was over?In a blink, the light came, causing me to shut my eyes suddenly from the reaction. "Welcome back, mam.
The Crimson Trail of Death True Feelings
[Adrian's POV]"Uncle Gavin! I did it, Uncle Gavin!" Why was I seeing this memory now? I guess it's because of what occurred so far. The same man I saw as a father figure, the one I trusted so much, turned out to be the enemy.He trained me to be who I am today, but in the end... "Why, Uncle Gavin? Just why did you have to be the enemy?"I woke up, feeling the intense pain in my head. I tried sitting up, only to find Dominic sitting next to my side."You're awake, Adrian..." he said. Yet, I found only my gaze downcast."What happened? So it's over..." I questioned as Dominic replied, "Yes.""He died?" Should I be happy, knowing he was gone, or sad? A side of me claimed this was a victory, knowing all he had done, the fact that he was behind Mom's death from the very start. But why does my heart say something different? Those little tears that never ceased from falling down splattered on my hand."I know this is all hard to take in, Adrian. I also can't seem to understand everything th
The Crimson Trail of Death The Final Battle
All this while, I had thought it was Dominic. I wanted to make him pay so much, but, in the end, I teamed up with my mother's true murderer."Okay, that's enough now, Nate. Let her take it all in slowly. What more of a death would be greater than having them regret the whole life they have lived?" Damien said."Mom... I'm sorry, mom..." I whispered, those tears not ceasing. I felt something on my head. It was Nate aiming a pistol at my head. "Now, why don't I do you a favor and take you to that old hag?" he said, and my eyes shut in those moments as I heard a loud gunshot, causing my eyes to open back up."Do you think you can take down the De Santos that easily?" I heard Dominic, with a smirk playing on his lips. "I knew you would make a move, so I had a tracker inserted in my skin, and now you took the bait, dear Uncle Gavin," he said as more guns echoed through the area. They were coming from outside the room."We have to kill them fast, Father. We need to leave now," Damien said.
The Crimson Trail of Death Heartbreaking Betrayal
[Sierra's POV]"Sierra, wake up, Sierra!" I heard a voice as my eyes sprung open. I found myself tied to a chair, as Adrian and Dominic were also tied to chairs beside me."What are you doing here, Sierra?" Adrian asked, but shouldn't I be asking the same question? I had heard that he and Dominic went to attend the burial of one of the De Santos, but now I found the two of them here."That bastard; he must have spiked the wine," Dominic's voice cut in. He was also awake.But wait, does this mean they were both kidnapped and brought here from the burial? Who honestly was this enemy?I noticed another man tied to a chair, but his face was blindfolded with a sack mask, so I wasn't able to tell who he was.Just as I hoped to let a word out to Adrian, the door creaked, and I watched some men make their way inside."Who the hell do you think you all are to have Adrian De Santos here?" Adrian questioned, but was he expecting his name to help out here? I mean, these were people who had been h
The Crimson Trail of Death Spiked Party
[Adrian's POV]It had already been four months, and yet I found myself still unable to figure out who this enemy was. My mind still echoed the words I heard from Raglan after I paid him a visit. He mentioned that there was a third man; he was the one who seemed like the boss. But none of them had ever seen his face anywhere.After hearing that, I tried looking for any information, something that could tell me more about this third man, even visiting the experiment building again, yet I found nothing.The only thought I found myself guessing was that this third man was possibly the enemy, or he was working with the enemy, and the experiment seemed to be carried on.I had hired more men to help me figure out and fix this puzzle, conducting research and gathering information they could find."We have to go now, Adrian..." Dominic said. But why should we go? I wasn't even in full support of his death in the first place. One of the De Santos members had been killed again, and he wants us t
The Crimson Trail of Death The Final Confrontation
(Four Months Later)"Aunt Sierra! Aunt Sierra!" Zara's voice echoed in my mind. The last moment I heard her voice.I woke up as it was already morning, stepping down from the bed. I made my way to the bathroom and washed up.It had been four months already, and the bloodshed never seemed to have ceased. Many of the De Santos members were already gone, each dying in a cruel way.I wore my cloth, intending to step outside my room, only to find Aunt Marisa waiting."You should rest; you're not yet feeling well, Sierra." she said.I had a high fever last night, so it was expected of her to be this worried. After we met back at the party, I allowed her to live with us in the mansion."I have some things to attend to, Aunt Marisa. I will rest once I am back..." I said."Don't tell me you're going out to find the enemy, Sierra. I know it's not about work." she said. But I should expect her figuring things out. I had my father's company closed temporarily a month ago due to everything that oc
The Crimson Trail of Death Rope of Betrayal
[Sierra's POV]I made my way up the stairs, entering my room, as I sat down on the bed, processing what had occurred today. "So he had killed another De Santos..." I thought.I never expected the plan to fail, and I was almost killed. If I hadn't reacted by pulling the gun trigger at that moment."Mam, are you there..." I heard Colt's voice, followed by a knock on the door. "Come in," I replied. Colt made an entry as he approached my side."Mam, I don't think it's safe for you to step out again. I'm sure you saw what had happened and how you were almost killed that day..." Colt said, but I understood he was making sure I was safe at all costs, but hiding, I doubt, would be of any good."I can't stay in hiding, Colt. That's what this enemy would want..." I explained."But Mam..." he wanted to say."I have a plan, Colt. I want to learn how to protect myself better..." I cut in, standing up from the bed. "I will have things taken care of again so that at least Zara will be able to go to
The Crimson Trail of Death Seeking for more Answers
I sat down in my office, checking my phone as I read what was portrayed by the news regarding Laxton's death, and it seemed like another twisted story turned to see us as the main issue at hand."I must say, nice game, whoever you are..." I said, taking a glass of wine as I heaved a sigh.I received a call from one of the men I had hired to investigate this case regarding the experiment. It took a lot, deciding to hire one, knowing I couldn't trust any of them, but instead, I only requested him to obtain some information regarding the experiment. Could there have been a successful experiment that brought the outcome father wanted so much?I picked up the call, placing it against my ear."Speak," I said."Boss, I have just finished doing my research on all that you told me about..." he started."So, what's the update?""Among the prisoners, there seemed to be one man; he was the only one I could tell who managed to flee from the building. It was hard getting the footage and records bac
The Crimson Trail of Death The Deadly Message
The incident back at the conference meeting with Sierra didn't seem like it was going to die down anytime soon.As the news just seemed to be spurring the little fire that the coward had lit up."You asked to see me, Adrian..." Dominic said, standing before me. I wondered if I was making the right choice by telling him all this. I mean, why should I even bother telling him?But if there was a chance that maybe this was connected in some way, I needed more answers."Are you there, Adrian?" Dominic's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I responded, "Yes."I scanned the area before my gaze returned to Dominic. "I'm sure you don't mind doing a little walk to my office, dear brother..." I said as I noticed those eyes seeking the reason behind my words and behavior.We both walked through the hall as we arrived at a corner, and my legs paused for a moment. I checked our backs."What's going on, Adrian? Why did you call me?" Dominic questioned, seemingly eager, more than expected."Why
