Twisted Fate The Spider's Web.
The night bled slowly into morning, but Claire found no peace.She sat curled on the edge of her bed, staring at the door as though it might burst open at any moment.Every sound in the massive house — the creak of the floorboards, the moan of the wind against the windows — set her nerves on fire.Somewhere in the darkness, Mason was plotting.Waiting.The thought made her stomach churn violently.By the time the pale light of dawn filtered through the heavy curtains, Claire’s mind was made up: she couldn't just sit and wait for Mason to destroy her.She had to act.If Mason had proof — real, undeniable proof — then she needed to find out what he had. And she needed to destroy it before he could use it against her.Still wearing the wrinkled clothes from the night before, Claire grabbed her burner phone and slipped quietly from her room.The house was eerily silent.Not even the usual bustling of the maids could be heard. It was as if the entire mansion was holding its breath, sensing
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-28Twisted Fate Seed of Doubt
Mason could barely contain his excitement. His mind raced with the countless ways he could twist this new information to his advantage.The feeling of power pulsed through his veins like a drug, intoxicating and dangerous.He paced the hotel room floor, a devious smile playing on his lips as he planned his next moves.Meanwhile, Claire sat quietly in her room, unaware of the storm that was gathering.She had taken the old woman’s advice to heart, and for the first time in weeks, she turned on the television.The familiar theme song of her favorite movie flooded the room, and an unexpected warmth spread through her chest.It was bittersweet—It reminded her of Josie.Of home.Of the girl she used to be before her world was upended.As she sat curled up against the headboard, the scenes flashing across the screen, her mind wandered.Was she really doomed to live this lie forever?Would Ryan ever find out the truth?And if he did...Would he destroy her?The thoughts weighed heavily on h
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-28Twisted Fate The First Move
The rain started softly that night, a drizzle tapping rhythmically against the windows, but it soon grew heavier, matching the storm that raged inside Claire’s heart.Sleep did not come easy.She lay curled beneath the covers, the silver key pressed tightly in her palm like a lifeline.Every creak of the house, every whisper of the wind outside, set her nerves on edge.Somewhere deep down, she knew something was coming.Something inevitable.And she wasn't ready for it.In another part of the mansion, Mason lurked in the shadows, his mind sharp, his plan ready to unfold.He had waited long enough.Tonight, he would make his first move.---Claire woke to a loud knock on her door.Her heart slammed against her ribs as she sat up quickly, the key slipping from her hand onto the bed.She stared at the door, her throat dry.The knock came again—More urgent this time.“Claire? It’s me,” came the old woman’s voice.Relief and confusion warred within her.Claire scrambled out of bed and ope
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-28Twisted Fate A Crack in the Wall
The next morning, the mansion felt colder than usual.Even the sunlight streaming through the windows seemed dim, washed out.Claire rose slowly from the bed, her body aching from the tension of the night before.Her hands trembled as she splashed water onto her face, trying to erase the evidence of her fear.But no amount of cold water could wipe away the heavy feeling sitting on her chest.Ryan knew.Maybe not everything—but enough.And it was only a matter of time before everything unraveled.She needed a plan.Fast.---Downstairs, Ryan brooded in the study, the half-empty glass of whiskey forgotten on the table beside him.He hadn’t slept.He couldn’t.His mind replayed every moment, every word, every smile Claire had given him since the beginning.It all felt poisoned now—A performance.He hated being played.He hated himself even more for believing it was real.Mason’s words echoed in his mind, louder than ever."She’s a maid. An imposter."Ryan clenched his jaw, fury surging
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-28Twisted Fate Trapped Beneath Lies
Claire's heart hammered in her chest, each thud deafening in the suffocating darkness.She pounded on the heavy door, her fists bruising against the cold, unyielding wood."Hello?!" she screamed, voice raw and cracking."Is anyone there?! Let me out!"Her desperate cries bounced back at her, distorted and hollow, swallowed by the stone.No answer.No mercy.No escape.Claire slid down to the floor, hugging the leather-bound journal tightly to her chest.Tears welled up, blurring the darkness into shapeless monsters lurking at the edges of her mind.This couldn’t be how it ended.Not after everything she had endured.Not after surviving betrayal, lies, and the constant threat hanging over her.Not locked away like some dirty little secret to rot and be forgotten.She pressed her forehead against her knees, her entire body trembling.She refused to die here.Not like this.---Above, Ryan stood at the threshold, his heart thudding painfully in his chest.He could hear her desperate crie
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-28Twisted Fate The Heir's Secret
Claire's fingers trembled as she held the brittle journal, her eyes glued to the faded ink."The truth about the Arrington heir must never be revealed..."The words were written in a delicate, hurried hand, as if the writer feared someone would catch them even as they scribbled.Claire's mind raced.What secret was so dangerous that it needed to be buried—even at the cost of her freedom?She flipped through the pages, each line more disturbing than the last.---The Arringtons' power wasn’t built just on business prowess.It was built on deception.Betrayal.Blood.Ryan’s birth itself was shrouded in mystery.The journal spoke of another child—an older one, a first heir, born before Ryan.One who had mysteriously disappeared.Swept under the rug.Erased from all records.Forgotten.Or so they thought.Claire’s stomach churned.If the real heir was gone…then Ryan’s place as head of the family was based on a lie.And if anyone ever found out—everything would crumble.---A sharp sou
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-28Twisted Fate A Prisoners Night
Claire thrashed against the stranger's grip, panic exploding in her chest like a wildfire.She tried to scream, but the rough hand clamped tighter over her mouth, cutting off any sound.Her captor dragged her backward, away from the gate, into the suffocating darkness of the woods.The rain battered down harder now, turning the ground into a muddy trap.Claire kicked wildly, her foot connecting with something soft—a grunt of pain escaped the man, but he didn't loosen his hold.Instead, he lifted her bodily, throwing her over his shoulder like she weighed nothing.Claire's heart pounded against her ribs.This is it,This is how I disappear.Tears blurred her vision as she struggled in vain.Where was Ryan?Where was anyone?Was this a setup?Had Ryan let her go… knowing someone else would capture her?Betrayal twisted her gut, but there was no time for answers now.Only survival.---They broke through the trees and came upon an old, battered truck parked by the side of a dirt road.T
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-28Twisted Fate Blood in the Rain
Ryan stood over Mason, the gun steady in his hand, smoke still curling from the barrel.Claire lay in the mud at his feet, coughing, gasping for breath.The sight of her—broken, bruised, terrified—unleashed something wild and primal inside him."Step away from her," Ryan said, his voice low and deadly.Mason wiped blood from his mouth, a twisted smile spreading across his face."Well, well," he rasped."The prince himself comes to rescue his little whore."Ryan’s finger twitched on the trigger.It would be so easy.One more shot.End it.But Ryan held back.Barely."You don't deserve to say her name," Ryan said, his voice vibrating with rage.Mason laughed, a wet, ugly sound."Come on, Ryan. We both know you don't really care about her," Mason sneered."She's just another pawn. Another puppet for your twisted games."Ryan stepped forward, gun raised."You don't know a damn thing," he said, eyes blazing.Mason's smile faded.For the first time, there was fear in his eyes.Good.---C

Twisted Fate The Final Revelation
The room was still, save for the heavy breaths of everyone present.The sound of breathing — sharp and erratic — seemed to reverberate against the walls, bouncing off the tense atmosphere that had settled like a thick fog.Ryan’s chest heaved with every breath, his fists still clenched at his sides.He was standing over Mason, his body rigid, his eyes wild with rage, but there was something else behind the anger.Fear.And the fear was growing, creeping beneath the surface like an insidious tide."Who’s behind this?" Ryan’s voice was a low growl, but there was a tremor to it now.A hesitation that hadn’t been there before. The calm, unshakable leader that he had always been was slipping, revealing the cracks in the facade. "You’re not going to get away with this, Mason. Not this time."But Mason only laughed. The sound was sharp, cruel, and mocking.A laugh that sliced through the tension, amplifying the feeling of dread in the room."You think you’ve got it all figured out?" Mason s
Twisted Fate The Betrayal
Claire’s heart dropped.Someone closer?The words echoed in her mind like a drumbeat, each thud growing louder, more insistent.She had been through so much. The violence, the betrayals, the bloodshed.But hearing this — the sharp, cold implication of it — was different. It felt like a punch to the gut, a strike to the very core of her being.Ryan’s hand, still clutching Mason’s collar, tightened with a force that seemed to rattle the very air around them.His face was a mask of rage, but Claire could see it—the briefest flicker in his eyes.A shadow.Fear.He wasn’t just angry. He was terrified.It wasn’t the same fury that had burned through him when Mason had first walked into the room.This was something deeper, something that went beyond simple hatred.Mason was watching them both with a smile that seemed to grow with each passing second, basking in the tension he had created.The air in the room grew thick, suffocating, like smoke from a fire that no one could put out.No one sp
Twisted Fate Unraveling the Past
The battle was far from over.Claire’s hand was still trembling as she lowered the gun, the weight of it foreign and heavy in her grip.Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs, each beat a painful reminder that she was still alive.The attacker she had shot lay sprawled at her feet, blood pooling beneath him, staining the pristine marble floor a deep, angry red.The sharp, metallic scent of gunpowder clung to the air, thick and suffocating.But Claire couldn’t focus on any of it.Not yet.Because something was wrong.Something was missing.---Ryan moved like a force of nature through the chaos, swift and brutal. His men—loyal, lethal—cleared the room with ruthless precision, every movement efficient, every shot deadly.The leader who had taunted them earlier now lay crumpled near the fireplace, a bullet hole in his chest.And yet... the gnawing sensation in Claire’s gut only grew.This wasn’t just a random attack.It wasn’t even a revenge strike.It was a message.Her eyes darted
Twisted Fate The Silent War Begins
Claire woke up the next morning, the remnants of a restless night clinging to her.The storm clouds still hung heavy in the sky, and there was no sign of the sun. It seemed fitting, considering the tension she felt, coiling tighter around her chest with every passing hour.She glanced over at Ryan, still sleeping soundly beside her.It was a rare sight.The lines on his face were softer now, his usual fierce demeanor replaced by a quiet vulnerability. For a moment, Claire just watched him, letting herself breathe a little easier. But the weight of their situation pressed down on her, pulling her thoughts back to reality. They didn’t have the luxury of peace for long.Her phone buzzed beside her on the nightstand.Claire’s heart stopped.It was a message from an unknown number.She reached for the phone, her fingers trembling as she unlocked the screen.The message was short, but the words hit her like a punch in the gut.> "You won’t see it coming. Be careful."Claire’s stomach flippe
Twisted Fate Secrets That Refused to Stay Buried
The following morning felt colder than usual, even though the sun was out.Light streamed through the windows, painting long golden stripes across the floor, but it didn’t chase away the chill.Claire woke with a start, reaching instinctively for the warmth beside her.But Ryan’s side of the bed was empty.The sheets were cold, as if he’d been gone for hours.Panic gripped her chest like a vice.Had something happened overnight?Had he gone after those men alone?Throwing off the covers, she scrambled into a hoodie and leggings, her pulse racing painfully.She flew down the grand staircase, barefoot, heart hammering against her ribs.The estate was eerily silent.As if the walls themselves were holding their breath.---In the kitchen, Claire found Mrs. Dalca sitting at the long table, sipping coffee from a delicate porcelain cup.The older woman barely glanced up from the newspaper spread in front of her."Where’s Ryan?" Claire gasped, breathless from running.Without missing a beat,
Twisted Fate The Calm Before the next Storm
Claire sat by the window that night, wrapped in a blanket Ryan had placed around her shoulders.The rain had softened to a drizzle, tapping softly against the glass.But inside her chest, a full storm still raged.Ryan sat across from her, watching her in silence, a glass of whiskey untouched in his hand.Neither of them spoke for a long time.Words felt too small for what they had been through.Finally, Claire broke the silence."Who were they?" she asked, her voice still hoarse from screaming earlier.Ryan leaned back, jaw tight."Enemies," he said simply.Claire let out a shaky breath."But why me? Why not come straight for you?"Ryan’s eyes darkened."Because they know how to hurt me."The confession sat between them, heavy and raw.Claire tightened the blanket around herself.For so long, she had thought she was just a pawn—an outsider trapped in a game too big for her.Now, it was terrifying to realize she mattered more than she thought.That she was the leverage.---Ryan stood
Twisted Fate Storm Brewing
Morning came too quickly.The world outside the window was still gray and heavy with rain, but the house stirred with a new kind of tension—a waiting, stretching unease that pulled at every corner.Claire awoke in a cold bed.Ryan was gone.For one heart-stopping moment, fear clutched her chest.Was it all a dream?Had he abandoned her?Her fingers clutched at the sheets, her breath quick and shallow.Then she saw it—the note folded neatly on the nightstand.Stay inside. Don’t open the door for anyone but me. — RClaire snatched the note, reading it twice.The neat, slashing handwriting steadied her trembling fingers slightly, but only just.Something was wrong.Terribly wrong.She could feel it humming under her skin like electricity before a lightning strike.The house—usually so loud, so full of life—felt muted, as if it were holding its breath.---Downstairs, the estate was alive with hurried footsteps and hushed whispers.Guards moved like shadows through the halls, their faces
Twisted Fate The Aftermath of Fire
The halls of the Gold estate were eerily silent, every shadow seeming heavier, every creak of the old wood floors louder than usual.Only the low, steady hum of rain against the windows kept them company, a soft percussion that filled the empty spaces where words couldn’t.Claire sat curled in an armchair in the guest room, a thick blanket wrapped around her like armor.Her wet clothes had been stripped away by kind, nameless hands, and a fresh set of soft cotton pajamas clung to her skin.A cup of tea steamed on the nightstand nearby, untouched, forgotten.She stared blankly at the wall, not really seeing it.Her body was there.Her mind...Her mind was still back in the woods.Still feeling the slick weight of the gun in her shaking hand.Still seeing the twisted snarl on Mason’s face.Still hearing the deafening crack of the gunshot.She should have felt victorious.Strong.Triumphant.Instead, she just felt—Tired.So, so tired.Her bones ached with it.Her soul sagged beneath it.
Twisted Fate Blood in the Rain
Ryan stood over Mason, the gun steady in his hand, smoke still curling from the barrel.Claire lay in the mud at his feet, coughing, gasping for breath.The sight of her—broken, bruised, terrified—unleashed something wild and primal inside him."Step away from her," Ryan said, his voice low and deadly.Mason wiped blood from his mouth, a twisted smile spreading across his face."Well, well," he rasped."The prince himself comes to rescue his little whore."Ryan’s finger twitched on the trigger.It would be so easy.One more shot.End it.But Ryan held back.Barely."You don't deserve to say her name," Ryan said, his voice vibrating with rage.Mason laughed, a wet, ugly sound."Come on, Ryan. We both know you don't really care about her," Mason sneered."She's just another pawn. Another puppet for your twisted games."Ryan stepped forward, gun raised."You don't know a damn thing," he said, eyes blazing.Mason's smile faded.For the first time, there was fear in his eyes.Good.---C
