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 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;
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 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
