Twisted Fate A Taste of Control
“Why aren't you eating your food? Isn't it delicious enough?” he asked, making Claire turn around quickly.Claire wondered what kind of man he was. He had moved from his side of the table to behind her, and she hadn't even noticed.With such skills, he might have been a powerful assassin in his former life. Still, Claire had to get a hold of herself.She was still staring at him, who only looked at her food without shaking or moving. Looking at him, one might think he was seeing something relevant. Claire's thoughts were interrupted again when she heard his voice again. It seemed like he was always ready to surprise her when she least expected it.Claire tried to speak but found it extremely hard when she saw the look on his face. He didn't have the blank look anymore; he was smiling, which was even more surprising considering his words.“I asked you a question, girl,” he said.“Um, the food is good. The chefs are very experienced, and I can tell they have done this job for a long ti
Twisted Fate Into the Unknown
Close froze out of stock and bewilderment. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Ryan expected her to wait in his bed. The ease with which he had said those words further amplified his alpha nature.Claire wondered where her fate would be at the hands of an untoward person like him. In such an untenable situation, she had no choice but to look on and hope to escape by a faint stroke of luck.Out of nowhere, a shrill laughter filled the room again. Claire looked at him in surprise; why did he laugh at the things that weren't funny in any way? She wondered.Claire was terrified, yet he was having as much fun as possible. Was it all an act, or was this his true nature?“You intrigue me, girl. What do you take me for? I'm not going after that just yet. There's more than enough love for you and my chicks. If you don't want to do Iti, don't think I'm going to try and force you,” he replied, caressing her neck, which sent shivers through her body.This man was nuts; his words and act
Twisted Fate Testing Boundaries
Claire looked at other parts of the room before bringing her attention back to the paintings. Strangely, some sides of the building were quite ancient and she could imagine why it had been left that way.Claire reasoned that it was probably to keep the originality of the mansion as it was surely an ancient one and had been redecorated over the years.Claire decided to bring her attention back to Ryan and saw he was smiling sheepishly at one of the paintings which was the oldest of them.“It's a great sight, isn't it?” Ryan asked.“Yes, I guess it is,” Claire replied.“There are so many faces and the style of painting is renovated with each painting since there are a lot of years in between. It's quite funny how there is always a price to be paid for a lot of good, isn't it!” Ryan asked, coughing slightly.Claire opened her mouth to reply but could not when the coughing continued. Claire remained still in hopes that the coughing would seize but she was wrong. “Are you okay? Should I g
Twisted Fate A Delicate Balance
“Why are you getting so worked up? After all, I'm only telling the truth,” Claire asked.Ryan signed, he knew she was yelling the truth like she said but he was still very angry about it as he didn't like her tone in any way.“What's this about?” Ryan asked, losing it finally after all. “I already told you,” I have no idea what else you need to hear from me,” Claire replied.Ryan sighed and coughed again. Ryan checked the time, It was very close to midnight and he was getting sleepy.Ryan contemplated going to retire in his chambers but he quickly banished the thoughts as he wasn't ready to let Claire have peace.“Watch your tone. Now, pick up the Lamp, and let's keep walking,” Ryan said after a short and awkward moment of silence.Claire did as Instructed and they left the room. After locking the door, Ryan instructed that Claire go ahead of him as she was the one with the light.Claire was uncomfortable with this as she had no idea what he was up to. However, refusing him wasn't an
Twisted Fate The Unexpected Turn
All of a sudden, Ryan threw the candle off and pulled her up into his arms. They were close and Claire couldn't believe it but they could still see each other clearly in the darkness.They stood there, silent for a few seconds as Claire had also held Ryan instinctively when he pulled her close for fear that he would let her go.Ryan was looking into her eyes and she was doing the same. It appeared that they weren't in a hurry to leave each other as they provided each other in the cold.Claire didn't have much choice to let go since her feet were barely on the edge of the stairs so she was a bit taken by surprise when he refused to let her go.All of a sudden, Ryan brought his eyes down to her lips, making her go wild. It came from nowhere. Claire couldn't believe it and she wasn't prepared if he was about to do what she thought he was going to do.“What are you doing?” Claire asked, her voice barely a whisper.“I'm sorry, it's just that I was expecting to hear you sing again as apprec
Twisted Fate A Family Affair
Ryan woke up to a slight tap on the shoulder. Ryan was having the most horrendous dream he had ever had. In the dream, he and Claire had been running away from monsters that were attacking them.Ryan had no idea what the reason was for such a dream but he knew he remembered it perfectly and was sure he was not mistaken.Looking around, Ryan wondered where he was and why he was under the clear sky and not in his bedroom. Ryan heard a voice and only then did he decide to pay any attention to the ones who had been tapping him before.Ryan saw Anton, the man who was the male head of the household workers. He had been with the family for a very long time and he was very loyal to the family.“What are you doing here? What am I doing here?” Ryan asked, making the man stutter as he was unsure of which question he was supposed to answer first.“Well, typically yesterday you and the lady had a nice meal and you both came here to spend the night. I'm guessing you were so overwhelmed by the dri
Twisted Fate "Secrets and Revelations"
Ryan smiles, knowing that it was his pesky workers who were supplying his mother with daily reports on his life.Although it annoyed him, he was still happy with it as it only meant that she was concerned about him which was a thought he welcomed gladly.“Wow, that's interesting. I wonder who among my staff is spying on my family for you,” Ryan replied jokingly.“I would prefer to keep that secret. Who knows? It could even be all of them and knowing you, I'm not comfortable with letting you become aware of it,” she replied.“Well, it's true. I and Claire shared a dinner yesterday like normal married couples do but if you're craving to hear something that would excite you, I'm sad to disappoint you as I'm not romantic like Dad,” Ryan replied.“Oh please, don't give me that. From what I heard, you and he had a lovely meal and even went up to spend the night. I won't ask what happened because it's none of my business but I know that I'm very happy with it as I'm expecting to see my grand
Twisted Fate The Dark Truth
Claire was shocked by those words, and a worried look appeared. Her brother, the only family she had left, was now facing whatever problems he was at the hands of a psycho.Although she couldn't tell what the problem was right away, The fact that it was in the man’s house that the problem happened made her suspicious of him.After all, Mr Josie was a known psycho, and he was capable of pulling a few strings together to make him fall sick accidentally if he needed to for a reason.Claire was picking at this point, not she decided she would boy let that show. Instead, she would find out the problem before jumping to a conclusion.“What do you mean by that? What has happened to him?” Claire asked angrily.Although her intention had been not to show any sign of too much when it came to it, she had failed miserably in this as when she spoke; her mouth had only followed what she was feeling and not what she thought.“Calm down, it's not as serious as you think. I was playing with your emoti

Twisted Fate A Chance of Encounter
Come on!” Mason growled as he slammed into the lady from the back repeatedly while she moaned. “Yes, baby,” she screamed in response. Mason was in a hotel room and having fun with another one of his many chicks when his phone rang.At first, Mason ignored the call, but when it persisted, he decided to check it out. Mason put the lady on him to ride him herself and checked the phone.It was a call from the person he had hired to find out as much as she could about Josie, and it seemed that he now had an update for him. Mason reluctantly shifted the woman off him, and he went to the verandah to answer the call as he never let anyone listen to his conversations, no matter how close they were to him.“Hello, this better be good. You're interrupting my fun time, and I don't like this,” Mason said arrogantly.“Well, if you want, I could always call back when you are done with your trysts,” the man replied, unwilling to accept any nonsense from him.Mason was not happy about this, and he
Twisted Fate A Moment of Respite
The laughter filled the room as she and the old lady discussed extensively. It was not a short discussion, resulting from her trying to be as lovely and caring as possible.One thing led to another, and they began discussing the Television shows she enjoyed watching in Josie’s house.It was not surprising that they had access to the same kind of movies, but it was shocking that the staff of the Gold’s could manage to find enough time to watch a movie.Knowing a little about Ryan and about how the workers feared him, it was shocking that they had the guts to dare to use their working hours for some fun.Although she had clarified that she got some favors over the others, it was still hard to imagine that Ryan would let such a thing go on under his roof.Nevertheless, the woman knew more about the movie than Claire herself, and it hurt her to know that.Josie had been the one to fall in love with the movie at first, and it was because of her that Claire had even gotten to find out about
Twisted Fate A Convenient Affair
After a long ride, they got to the restaurant, and both got out. It was a restaurant known for privacy, so there was no risk of getting the information out to the public and being in the media's crosshairs.It was a safe restaurant used by the rich for their affairs, and it was known to keep whatever happened in it a secret.Sitting across from Bethany made Ryan feel different.

Although he did not like her and had no interest in her, It was nice to stay with someone he considered a friend in a nice restaurant like that one.Bethany was beaming with smiles and forcing him to do the same. Mason had advised him to go for dinner with Bethany as he felt he needed the female company of a person who wanted him.Ryan had been stubborn to accept this Idea, but in the end, he had been forced to eventually go for it as he realized that it was useless being tough and all.Although he was married, it was not the kind of marriage anyone would want or hope
Twisted Fate The Cost of Survival
Claire held her breath and signed out of exhaustion. She knew she had no other choice but to carry out the task.After all, her brother's life was on stage here. He had already given her an ultimatum through a messageClaire now had limited time to get what he needed across to him. It was wild how demanding he was of her, but knowing fully what he had achieved, she had decided she would do it as he pleased.The earlier she could get her brother out of the crosshairs of a madman like Josie’s father, the better for herself and him.Claire took a deep breath; she was just about to get out of bed and try to get the picture of the document when she heard a faint knock on the door.Immediately, she panicked and asked who it was. A frail voice replied, and she saw that it was his,, the head of the household domestic servants.Claire was relieved and asked her to come in. The door opened, and the woman wished in with a food tray.It was just then that Claire realized that she hadn't taken any
Twisted Fate A Complex Bond
“Yeah, but don't be so proud of yourself; you weren't great in the game either. After all, if not for the large sums of money you had access to, we both know you wouldn't have as many girls as you did at the time,” Ryan responded.Mason laughed, and so did Ryan. The point was simple. Although it was the truth, no one cared. As long as he managed to get the girls he wanted to do what he wanted, nothing else mastered a man like Mason.A few girls claimed to love him genuinely, but Mason never took any of them seriously as he felt they were only lying and wanted to keep him all to themselves.It was one of the disadvantages of that lifestyle and, ultimately, why Ryan stopped. It was because no matter how sincere the girl might look, there was always the risk that she was after you for the gold.Ryan’s reputation did not help, so it was the same in my adult years. Eventually, he returned to that lifestyle when I saw that the few girls he tried out disappointed himAnd then, when he couldn
Twisted Fate The Price of Power
Ryan was not happy about this because he felt his pride was slightly damaged, but he took it in as Mason was a perfect friend of his and he was also an essential personality, and asides from all that, he was also here to see him and keep him company.“Welcome, man, have your seat,” Ryan said.“Thanks, Buddy,” Mason replied.“So, how has it been?” Ryan asked when they had both sat down.Mason sighed and took off his suit in his usual fashion. Mason wore a suit every day, and yet he was never ready to keep it on.As soon as he got the chance to get the suit off, he would always take it off without hesitation. It was his ritual, and naturally, Ryan was already used to it by now.“It's been a wild man. Last week, I met a mad lady by the name of Rebecca. She is everything young in a lady and more. Rebecca is so hot and crazy in the bedroom,” Mason said, causing the two to laugh.Ryan smiled and shook his head; only Mason would feel that was an appropriate answer.Mason was always praising
Twisted Fate The Mastermind's Plan
“Calm down, why are you yelling? I'm the one who should be angry here, and I'm not even angry, but still, you're feeling tense. Is there a reason why you are acting up?” I asked.“No, I'm okay. I don't even know what you are talking about. I don't feel tense or bad,” he replied; there was anger in his voice, and she could hear it.“You need to calm down. I don't know what you're going through, but you have to stay strong. You can't lose yourself for any reason. If you do, what will become of you when you regain freedom?” Claire asked, trying to be subtle with him.It was not who she wanted to be. She was too far away from him to make him hate her when it was unnecessary.It was one thing to lose access to him and another to lose her love in his eyes when she looked into them, and she hoped she would.“I don't know. I'm sorry, I guess,” he replied dryly.“Do you know you're being bad right now, “ Claire asked angrily.“That's enough. If you have any other thing to say to him, then you
Twisted Fate The Puppeteer's Gambit
Knowing the kind of man that he was, Claire knew he could want that, and with his last reply, she had already established the fact that he had a motive against their family.So many questions began going through her my. Why was he after the Golds? Was it for wealth or satisfaction?The idea that a family who was not as powerful as the Golds was trying to play rocks with them amazed her.It made her wonder why Josie was sent to marry Ruan in the first place if it was for a motive, and she was curious as to whether Josie was aware of the evil plan he was preparing or not. It wasn't too far-fetched to think such a thing. After all, she had been suicidal for a reason, as a forced marriage didn't even seem enough to be a reason anymore.“This is getting far more serious than I thought. Are you sure no cameras are waiting to get me in trouble the moment I get into that room?” Claire asked.“That's a good question. Let your mind be at rest; I made sure I took care of everything beforehand s
Twisted Fate The Silent Threat
Josie could not believe her ears; it was not that he said that he had not called because of her brother that bothered him; it was the fact that he was trying to send her on an errand after all that she had already done for him.These wealthy people could not have enough; they were never satisfied no matter what they made you sacrifice for them.“I can't believe you're asking me something like this. After all, I have done, it still isn't enough for you. Tell me something; if you did not want to tell me about this mission, would you have called to tell me about my brother's bruise?” Claire asked, knowing the answer to that question.“You see, I'm a businessman. If you know earned anything about business with that degree, you acquired as pathetic or was. If you at least paid attention to classes, you would know that customers love to return to their manufacturers for more when the deal is good. In that sense, I can not leave you alone in peace as you crave. Do not expect or hope for it;
