The spoiled protégée of the ruthless CEO Claude's Epic
Claude killed his first victim when he was merely sixteen. On the opposite of what he thought, killing was not that difficult nor that tormenting. It was relieving. Claude knew he was a sociopath from the very start. He has been raised by a great father that taught him to be good. And thanks to that, Claude is a sociopath but he's also a good man. Good sociopaths are not common, but good training and good psychiatrists can help the patient to elaborate some cognitive empathy. And it was all that Claude needed to be a good part of society. After seeing the worst face of evil, Claude took a different path from his father. Justice can't be found in the same system that killed it. Only someone outside of the system can find it. Only a rebel who's brave enough to enlighten the fire of revolution.

The guard was shocked to see the visitor at the door. He came back to William and asked him if he was sure:"He looks like a beggar!""I do not believe a beggar is up to such a dangerous speech""You only listened to him throw the ring phone! I SAW him! He doesn't look at all the kind that my master would meet!""Let me see him"William barely opened the door and discovered the guard was not wrong: He saw a teen boy wearing black untidy clothes. He looked strange. The boy heard the door open after he was looking in the other direction. So he turned and saw the doubting eyes of William.William was about to refuse the visit when the boy looked at him with a couple of confiden

The boy opened his eyes after a long time. He felt horrible vertigo. But his body felt much better. He hardly looked around to see himself in a sophisticated, dark bedroom. His arm was connected to an IV line. On his forehead, there was a cold pad. Near his bed, there was a fireplace and a table full of medicines. Some maids were working around casually. And then there was a graceful gentleman in a suit, talking to the doctor at the door. The boy tried to wake up. And here was when those in the room discovered he is awake.The maids hurried to help the boy sitting. The doctor rushed to him too. Only the gentleman kept walking slowly, not only due to his cane but also because there was no reason to speed:"Easy, easy." The gentleman said "Don't sit yet. You may get dizzy"The boy set anyway for he can never sta

"But!" William was about to protest "No need. I am not spending any added moment in this place, Mr. Knightly." The boy answered and walked to the door. "You already slept for three days. The north spies must be everywhere looking for you by the moment. If you get out of here, you will get yourself either caught or killed" "No need for you to care, thanks" "You won't get out of here unless I permit it, gentleman" "You can't.." "Of course, I can." He hit him again with the cane. The boy resisted and fought bravely. But the old man was too skilled. Finally, the boy fell to the ground again. "Admit you are just a monster like Matthews!" Although he was skilled in keeping a poker face, that sentence made Mr. Knightly mad. "I guess you still need proper education" He hit the boy's face with the cane to make him calm. Then he ordered the guards to bend him down. The boy spited blood and looked at Mr. Knightly like an enraged beast. "What do you want from me?!" "I want you to s

"And this is the answer of a true knight." Mr. Knightly replied.Wolf was not surprised or flattered. He knew what he was.Mr. Knightly walked to the window and looked through the glass window. It was dark outside. And even if the sun rises, it will still be dark.The pain people are living is worth mourning. And this will never come to an end unless the mafia goes down.Mr. Knightly asked the boy:"What if we have a contract?""What kind of contract?""I will adopt you, give you my inheritance, my guidance, and help.""And on the other hand?""You will give your life to this: Defending the weak, especially Gotham's people. I had a dream, but I doubt my age will allow me to achieve it. So you will achieve it instead of me."Mr. Knightly turned to Wolf and added:"You will take. The Mafia. Down."Wolf's eyes sparkled. He answered:"I agree""That was fast.""I know what I want.""I like that. From n

"Do you like cheese, young master?""Cheese?"Claude was quite astonished by William's question.Claude spent two other days in bed. On the third day, he woke up much better and was able to stand properly and leave his room. The maids brought him breakfast at nine. Thanks to his kindness, they grew much friendlier to him. One of them, Lauren, was his private maid."Why do I have a private maid?" Claude asked William once he came to visit the boy after breakfast. "I mean, I am thankful for the master's care. But I can take care of myself. I am old enough for that!"William smiled at Claude and answered:"Young master, your maid's mission is not typical. She will a

Flora woke up the next morning to the sound of knocking on her chamber door.“Yes?!” She asked“Are you decent?”“A moment please.”Flora jumped off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She knew the voice owner: That was the voice of Mr. Wolfgang! Flora changed her clothes and did her hair then she stood up in the middle of the chamber, head high, straight posture, and severe facial expression:“Please, come in.”Wolfgang came into the room and smirked looking at Flora: She tried to appear solemn and severe but the excitement in her eyes failed her:“How was your night, young lady?”“Cozy, thank you. How have you been, sir?”“You can call me Father. Or don’t. That silly son of mine shall marry you first.”Flora got as red as a cherry and she looked down shyly. He knew she was emotionally entangled with his adopted son! “Calm down Flora. Don’t mess it up this time.” She whispered to herself.“Mr. Wolfgang.” She said to him, “I want to talk with you.”“Here I am.”“First,
The spoiled protégée of the ruthless CEO Cassius the Enforcer
“Are you happy?” said Mielle. Cassius barely added a word after Claude left him and Mielle. He asked her to give him her seal and gun if she had any. Mielle took off the necklace she kept under her clothes. That necklace had a seal on it: The seal of a thorny rose. With that seal, Mielle has the access to the Brotherhood’s database and has the right to communicate with other members. Without a seal, she is just a hanged member who has no voice. Cassius was not afraid of her. Even if she asks for help, his position as enforcer will prevent her from getting any. Plus, he knew she didn’t want help. Mielle was far too proud to not accept the consequences of her free actions. But he respected the protocol. From the moment she is considered a sinner, to the moment she accepts redemption, Mielle shall stay isolated from the rest of the brotherhood to not spread her sins among them. It was ridiculous, but it was the law that protected this brotherhood for centuries. Mielle gave him her gu

Roxanna was aware of the situation. The moment Cassius told her Claude was waiting for her. She nodded and spared herself successfully from the police. She walked into the study where Claude was smoking and greeted him:- I pay my respect to the glorious silver knight.- Welcome Miss La Rosa. Do me the honor of sharing a discussion.It was a bit dark inside. The smoke made the air thick and gloomy. Roxanna knew that Claude was angry. With his dominant posture and cruel face, he looked quite the dangerous. Claude sat in front of Roxanna and offered her a cigarette. She accepted it and smoked as well. Claude sighed and asked her, with a dry tone:- Long story short, are you the one who did it?- Would you punish the one who did it?- No. I want a painful death for that witch. Yet, choosing this time is just irrational.- It was not me Mr. Knightly. If it was me, I would admit it with no fear.- In that case, do you know who did it?- No, no one told me about something like that happeni

Flora felt nausea. What has she done?! Claude will kill her for this! He will damn kill her!Once they heard Bianca’s scream, Flora was about to run into the building and head to the ballroom, when Vlad caught her hand:“Stay here, I will go to enquire.”“Yes.”The moment Vlad disappeared, Ludovic appeared as if he was waiting for her to be alone. “So? Shall we go?”“What have you done?!”“Nothing. But it is a good occasion to run without Jack and Claude noticing us.”“No, I can’t! I didn’t tell Claude yet that I am going with you! I can’t just disappear again! That would be cruel and disrespectful!”Ludovic grabbed the woman’s arm and growled: “Do you want to meet Wolfgang or not?”“But…”“Yes or No?! Make a choice!”“Yes.”“Then let’s go. We have no time left. Soon the two men will get aware of your disappearance.”Ludovic took Flora to his car and ordered his men to act as secretly as possible.

Bianca screamed as her mother collapsed in the ballroom: “Mother! Mother! Wake up!!!”A line of black thick blood was coming out of the mouth of the unconscious woman. “Poison!” cried a lady “She is poisoned!”Claude came to the ballroom with Jack as soon as they heard the screaming:“Is that your doing?” Claude asked Jack the moment they got to the door.“No. Yours?”“No.”“Who then?”They didn’t need that answer for the moment. Instead, they approached the victim:“What the f*ck is this?” said Jack as he knelt beside the collapsed woman.“Oh! Mr. Black! Mother! Mother got poisoned!” responded Bianca crying.Claude ordered his men to call the police and an ambulance. But Jack said coldly as he examined the woman: “Order them to hurry and bring a doctor along. I do not think she can make it in more than an hour.”“Alright. Ladies and gentlemen, please do not leave your positions. Stay where you are until the police are here.”Inside, Claude was cursing. That was far away from being a

Flora looked around her all the time. Claude was nowhere to be seen when she needed to talk to him as soon as possible. Staying around Roxana was the best. But Flora was anxious so she excused herself and went into the hallway to look for Claude. The anxiety made Flora not pay attention to Jack who came after her. But suddenly as she walked in the long corridor, she felt a shiver. And she immediately knew what it was. She turned to look solemn and saw Jack behind her, smiling as the devil he is:- Did you miss your Daddy, babydoll?He said with a teasing smile and Flora had the desire to vomit. And she did not answer. She just kept looking at him with pride and confidence.Jack’s smile started to fade as he sensed something was different about Flora’s eyes. He saw her arrogant look thousands of times before, but this… this was something different:- Come back to your house my dear wife. Your husband and family, we are all waiting for you- Does that include your wipes and ropes?- Of

It was the time for a Valse. Cassius asked Flora to be his partner and she didn’t let him down. Cassius, as the sweet guy he is, attracted many of the ladies at the ball. First, they got disappointed seeing he had a partner. Then, they got even more disappointed to see him dancing with the ball’s queen: Flora La Candida.Cassius only smiled at Flora. No word was said for a while. He led her softly and naturally. They looked perfect dancing together. But after some time, Cassius bent on his partner and whispered:- Tell me he didn't hurt you that night Flora. Please, tell me he didn't.- He didn't- Thank goodness. Cassius sighed. Now that you are back things will get better. As his close friend, I am truly happy you are back, Flora. Claude was acting strong but inside he was burning. Can you believe Mielle herself was kind to him?- Gosh... I am sorry - Don't be. Or be. If you want to apologize, apologize to Ciel. The poor man was having a VERY hard mouth.Flora laughed.

Back to the present,----------Flora woke up after some minutes. Claude was still holding her tight and caressing her back. When she opened her eyes she saw him looking at her and she felt like heaven."We must go back to the ballroom, don't we?""I think we should. I'll never get enough of the shocked face of your stepmother."Flora giggled:"Neither I !""Let me help you dress then I will go and ask a maid to help you with your hair and makeup.""Gosh! I have a problem. I didn't bring anything to correct my appearance!""That's alright. In the resting room, they are keeping some brushes and makeup simple.""What a relief to be in a masquerade held by a billionaire."Claude laughed and said:"Are you aware you came to a masquerade without a mask? All of that to disturb those b*tches?""Well, in fact, I was planning on wearing a mask and meeting you privately. Then I thought: Why am I scared? Let them know I am alive. Let them burn for my happiness. I think it was worth it. I am not
