"Wife huh?"Nate said immediately she left the room. "Hmm". Daniel replied casually. "I didn't know you were interested in young girls."He said jokingly. Daniel glared at him. "Don't glare at me. Am serious. Isn't she too young for you?"He asked more seriously. "She's 18 and she'll grow. I'll make sure she has the necessary comfort. I'll guide her and help her make the right choices. " He said like a doting father. He looked so serious and his grey eyes became soft and loving. Nate was stunned for a second. Was this Daniel Froster? He was now curious to know more about this girl. Because the girl who could soften Daniel's heart wasn't ordinary. ...... 30 minutes passed and Rory came back downstairs. Coincidentally,Nate was already leaving. "You are leaving?"She asked. "Yes little one"Nate said while ruffling her hair. She was so adorable. He just had this feeling to protect her. "Ok bye Uncle Nate"She said goodbye to him. "Uncle Nate?"He asked her back. Why would she call h

She had finished reading after an hour,which was more than the usual time she would have taken to finish studying but it was all worth it to avoid Daniel's glare. However,2 hours passed and she was just flipping the pages in boredom. She was done a long time ago. But how could she tell Daniel that she was done reading a book with over 2 thousand pages? Therefore she chose to keep quiet and pretended to read. Daniel looked up and saw her bored expression as she aimlessly flipped the page. He sighed helplessly. It wasn't like he was going to force her but he really wanted her to do something for herself. Even if she decided not to attend school or she fails he'll still be there to support her. "It's getting late,let's go to bed"Daniel's voice sounded like a ray of hope to Rory. "Yes,yes"she quickly agreed. "Lazy"Daniel scoffed at her. Rory just giggled happily. She packed the book to one side and got ready to leave. "Aren't you coming?"She turned around and asked Daniel. Daniel

Rory's eyebrows furrowed. Who was this barbarian, shouting so early in the morning? She turned around to see Clara standing there glaring at her with her cat eyes. Of course, it had to be her. It was early Monday morning yet some people just couldn't help themselves to create unnecessary trouble. Rory blatantly ignored her and was about to walk away when Clara held her arm. "Who do you think you are to walk out on me?! Am not done talking to you!"Clara said furiously. Rory's dark blue eyes became icy cold and her expression unreadable. "Let go of my arm, "Rory told her calmly but her eyes lacked warmth. Clara was so afraid that she took a step back in fear and she subconsciously let go of her arm. Rory smiled at her reaction. Clara cleared her throat feeling embarrassed. How can someone like Rory make her feel scared? "Don't get like this. I was only concerned about you. A little birdie told me that you haven't gone to school before. I would be worried" Clara's words sounded

"Repeat what you said"Rory's aura became as dangerous as her voice. Because she wasn't saying anything, that didn't give Clara or anyone else the right to say such immoral things about her. "What I do with my life, has nothing to do with you. "Dragging my name through the mud is very similar to defamation so if I were you, I would mind what I say or you can tell your true story behind bars." She sneered. "Are you threatening us, Rory?" "No, I’m just telling you what I am going to do"She swept her gaze across Clara and Sammy. Her gaze was wicked. After she said that, she walked away. When the crowd saw her coming, they made way for her. Her aura was just too strong. Her friends followed behind her. ..... "Is it done?"Rory asked David lazily. "Yes. It's in this flash."David answered and handed over a black flash. She took the flash and asked cautiously, "I hope no one will suspect a thing?" "Trust me. Nobody would even notice anything. As you know, I am the best man for the j

Rory finished her exams in just 50 minutes. Everyone was shocked beyond words. even the teacher couldn't help but ask if she answered all the questions. As she was the first person to finish her exams, she left the class and roamed around the school, with nothing to do. She had a chat with the lunch lady, janitor, and security guard. After that, she talked to Daniel and inquired about her exams. She said she was done but she didn't mention the period she used to finish it. she just couldn't risk it. With that, she sat under a large tree and watched as how birds were flying into the school. it was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly. Sitting down there, she looked like a sculpture, and that she belonged there. She was so fired that she was about to doze off. "Rory?" She heard a voice call out her name and her eyes which were shut, opened revealing a pair of dark blue eyes. "What do you want Malcolm?" She asked with her brows furrowed. She hated being disturbed while s

After the whole class,found out that Rory was a genius,they didn't hold back their questions. Of course,they asked a series of really tough questions that even then r teacher couldn't answer.They also informed the maths teacher,Mr Cole who also tested her and found out she was a genius. Everyone who had doubts stopped and Rory promised to teach them and they all agreed. But she had a condition; they couldn't tell anyone in the school. This then became their class secret.During, lunch,Rory,David,Terrence,Kay,Blaire and Franklin were all sitting together and chatting happily."What do you guys think about going out this Saturday?" Blaire asked while munching on her food."This Saturday,I think it's okay"David immediately agreed."Yeah am free this Saturday. What about you Frank?"Terrence chirped in "I am also less busy"Frank nodded his head."Me too. Rory?"Kay turned her head over to Rory and asked with a smile.Rory smiled and declined."Sorry guys,I have something going on this Sa

The driver dropped Rory at school.Rory entered the school and noticed something was off. The whole school was as silent as a graveyard. Why?Was it because of the test? No it was very unlikely. The school should be noisy. If not noisy at least there should be students but the place looked deserted. She suddenly felt this was creepy.She searched for her phone in her bag and her pockets only to notice it wasn't there. She wanted to call Kay and asked where she was."Of all the days to forget my phone it just had to be today"She said exasperated.She looked up to see a familiar figure on the other side of the school. It looked like Sammy. At the same time,Sammy also looked in her direction. Then a smile that could send chills down one's spine was formed on Sammy's face. Rory didn't want to go over and ask her anything. Who knows what atrocities she had committed. She just shrugged her shoulders and headed for her class.When she got to her building,she looked up and saw a huge stone

"dad Rory is still your daughter, you should still try to be patient with her" Sammy told her dad"I know Sammy. But that girl is really something else. I just called to ask her to come back home. I mean,she left home and the next thing we know,she's already attending one of the most expensive schools in the city. How can she afford it? She has really let me down" Right now,he sounded like an upright father who was so disappointed in his daughter."Wow! The award for best actor goes to,Mr Henry Devane!" Rory clapped and entered the living room. Mr Devane and Sammy frowned."What do you mean?"Sammy asked."What do I mean? A minute ago the both of you sounded so self righteous. Ah yes! What was that thing you said about me letting you down?""Oh yes I remembered!"She sat down on the couch and put her legs on the table."Rory!"Mr Devane shouted."Rory!"Rory imitated and laughed."Aurora show some respect to dad. He's your father after all"Sammy told Rory.Aurora started laughing so hard

Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN. DANIEL!
Rory’s gaze locked onto the tail lights flashing like taunts in the distance. The night was thick, the road weaving like a black ribbon through the desolate countryside. Nate gripped the wheel beside her, jaw clenched and eyes narrowed in concentration, while Oliver sat in the backseat, his laptop balanced on his knees, fingers flying over the keys.“They’re gaining speed,” Rory muttered, adrenaline flooding her veins. “Can you keep up, Nate?”He gave her a quick, fierce nod. “I’m not letting him get away with Daniel.” His voice was tight with determination, as he pressed down harder on the gas. The engine roared in response, pushing the car forward as it veered dangerously around another sharp bend.Oliver’s face glowed from the laptop screen in the backseat. “I’m trying to hack into Jordan’s phone,” he said, his tone laced with urgency. “If I can disrupt his GPS or disable the car remotely, it’ll give us an advantage.”Rory threw a glance over her shoulder. “How long will that take?

“Right!” She yelled, jerking away from Jordan’s evil touch. “Really? Well, I’m sorry, love. Your guess is wrong!” Jordan informed her and she closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears from flowing.“Please don't kill them! Please!” She pleaded and Jordan clicked his tongue repeatedly. “Awww. But you should have guessed properly!” He brought out a gun and shot the woman on the right in the head. ‘Bam!’“No!” She shrieked. “No, no, no! You monster! You freak of nature! No wonder your parents die! They deserved to die than to see the monster that you've become! Yes! They deserve to die!”“What did you just say?” His head snapped to hers, looking her dead in the eyes, his gun pointed at her, daring her to speak.The gunshot echoed in her ears over and over again but she didn't care. He should get it over with. “I said that your parents deserved to die the way that they did! Who would want to have a deformed and debased being as their son? I most certainly would not even if my life depen
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE. MIND GAMES (4).
[Trigger Warning: Mention and mild depiction of SA. I tried my best to shorten it.]***They said darkness enveloped you when you were dead. However, Rory felt the opposite. Darkness shrouded her because she was hopeless. Because no one was going to save her but herself. That's what she did. She played the part of a docile girl after the beatings Jordan had given her. She stopped saying, ‘Fuck You’ and curled herself into a ball and sobbed. Jordan crouched down beside her, as her shoulders shook. “Awww. Weren't you the one who wanted to pretend to be brave, Aurora? You know I like you like this. Weak, defenseless, and helpless.” He reached out and touched her hair, twirling them in his fingers but Rory kept shaking, tears streaming down her face.It felt like a thousand horses were stampeding on her body and that she was being thrown off a cliff, over and over again that the pain became a sound. It was a sound at this point, pushing her to the brink of insanity.Jordan smiled, a rea
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR. THE FARCE-MIND GAMES(3).
The table was the only thing dividing Oliver and Daniel. But what kept Daniel calm was a mystery to Oliver as the video on his laptop played. Daniel had aged badly. He had stubble, his eyes were heavy, and dark circles covered the beauty of his steel eyes, still, the sharpness in them swirled as he peered at the screen. What was playing was a blurry video of a woman in the car who had almost hit Nana Clarisse as she tried to escape. It was very fleeting and unclear but he got a glimpse of those blue eyes and he knew who it was. His Koala. “How is the old woman?” he asked monotonously. Life had been sucked out of him these past few weeks and to make matters worse Rory’s family had been attacking his company non-stop because they blamed Daniel for everything. Oliver understood that they had lost their daughter twice and this was a normal reaction but how did this solve the problem? Although both sides were working together to save Rory. That was the most important thing at this poi
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-THREE. MIND GAMES(2)
The car sped down the road, its headlights cutting through the night like blades. The hum of the engine was the only sound in the tight space, broken occasionally by the crackle of the walkie-talkie. Rory packed at the side of the road, gathering her thoughts. “This is The Riddler to Sleeping Beauty, do you copy?” Jordan’s voice came over the static. “The Riddler. I like ‘The Riddler’ but that’s already taken. What about ‘The Puzzler’? No that sounds terrible. What do you think, Sleeping Beauty?” Aurora hesitated, her fingers gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles whitened. Her eyes narrowed in on her target. The task he gave her was to run over Nana Clarisse, who was buying something beside the road. He wanted her to kill her Nana? How could she? How would she? “Sleeping beauty? I asked you a question. Which name do you want me to use? I need an answer.” Rory would never take for granted his light and playful tone. He never joked around. Everything he said was

Aurora awoke with a pounding headache, her temples throbbing in rhythm with her heartbeat. A low groan escaped her lips as her eyes fluttered open, but she instantly regretted the movement. The world around her was dim, blurred. She could feel the rough wood pressing against her back, the cold bite of tightly knotted ropes digging into her wrists and ankles. Panic gripped her, sharp and immediate. She was tied to a chair. As her senses slowly returned, fragments of memory surged forward in jagged flashes. The sound of a gunshot echoed in her mind. Zoe... Butler Zoe was shot. Her heart clenched, bile rising in her throat. The old man, who had cared for her like a father, had died. For her. Because of her. A tear slipped down her cheek, unbidden and burning. She quickly blinked it away. She couldn't break now. Zoe's sacrifice couldn't be in vain. She had to get out. Her eyes swept her surroundings light barely illuminated the large, grey expanse. It was barren and cold. The place l

Daniel stepped into the dimly lit house, expecting the usual stillness, but instead, a strange scent filled the air—coppery, metallic. His pulse quickened as he scanned the room, his eyes freezing at a horrifying sight. Butler Zoe, his loyal companion, sat slumped against the couch, blood staining his white shirt, the fabric darkened around a bullet wound in his chest. “Zoe!” Daniel’s voice broke as he rushed forward, falling to his knees. His hands hovered over the wound, shaking, unsure where to press, where to help. Zoe’s breath was shallow, each inhale a desperate grasp for life. “Mr. Daniel…” Zoe’s voice was faint, almost swallowed by the gurgling sound in his throat. He tried to lift his head, but the effort seemed monumental. “Where’s Rory?” Daniel’s voice was frantic now, his hands pressing harder against Zoe’s wound, trying to stop the relentless flow of blood. “Where’s my wife, Zoe? What happened? Tell me!” Zoe’s eyes fluttered, struggling to focus. His lips parted, but t

Aurora sat at the long, polished oak table, the clink of silverware on china filling the air. The dining room was imposing with its towering walls lined with ancestral portraits that seemed to watch her every move. Her family—the family she had only just found out about—sat across from her, each holding a strange, silent tension. It was as though she were a foreign object, placed delicately on the surface of their world, and no one was quite sure what to do with her. Her mother, Anita, sat at the head of the table, her face a carefully constructed mask of poise, though Aurora could see the warmth of curiosity beneath. Her eyes darted occasionally to Aurora, as though she couldn't quite believe her daughter was real. Her father, Romero, gripped his wine glass a little too tightly. Emiliano sat across from her, Santiago beside her, and Diego, another brother she just found out that she had sat beside Santi. Then there was Antonio. Her twin brother was seated directly across from her.
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE. BACHELOR.
Daniel was behind his desk, Oliver seated in front of the desk and Rory at his side. “First, we have to put all the clues we've had so far for the past three years,” Daniel said. “Three years? Didn't everything start this year?” Rory furrowed brows. “I’ve been receiving threatening messages from an unknown number after Blaire’s banquet. The first one was sent to Malcolm: ‘Sleeping beauty has pricked her finger.’” “And you didn't think to tell me? That my kidnapping was not by the Devanes?” Rory’s voice hardened. She wondered what other things he was hiding. Their hug at the hospital didn't mean their relationship was fixed. She wasn't sure if their relationship could ever be mended. “Let’s not stray off-topic for now. We know that the person involved likes riddles but is more straightforward when speaking to Daniel which means he has a personal vendetta against Daniel. Targeting Daniel is the goal since he attacked his mother first.” “The person also loves anagrams and is
