Rory came down stairs with a small blue box in her hands.

"Rory where did you get the money to start schooling?" Mrs Devane asked her.

"None of your business". Rory simply replied.

"Rory!" Mrs Devane yelled at her. "How dare you?!"

Rory laughed and said matter of factly,"You kicked me out of the house and told me I am no longer part of the family. So what I do with my life has nothing to do with you!"

"Rory, mom is just looking out for you. Moreover isn't it strange that out of the blue you just start attending one of the most expensive schools in the town with no explanation. People are bound to spread rumors". Sammy said as if she was trying to help Rory out. Rory sneered at them. This mother and daughter pair are really something.

"The daughter of a mistress can go to school freely with no criticism but I can't?" Rory asked calmly. Her words made the color on both the mother and daughter's face drain. Mrs Devane's face darkened.

"Who are you calling a mistress?!"

    The next day was Saturday so she wasn't going to school. She went downstairs for breakfast only to find that she was the only one at the table. "Zoe, is Daniel not joining us for breakfast?" "No Rory. He's in the study,so he won't be able join you for breakfast."Butler Zoe answered. Rory nodded and didn't ask any further questions. It wasn't that butler Zoe was the only servant in the house, but she first met butler Zoe, naturally she'd be close to him. There was also Cecilia who she called Cece. Cece was also a major figure in the house like butler Zoe but wasn't as powerful. After breakfast Rory decided to take a tour around the house. Apart from her room and the library that Daniel showed her yesterday,she hadn't really been to any part of the house. Exploring the house was in was the best option and it would really help her not to die of boredom. Rory started with the huge garden that had different flowers. Some of the flowers she knew while the rest were all foreign to her.

    "Yes we have a guest"Butler Zoe informed. A guest? "A guest?"She asked. "Yes"He replied. She gently nodded. She really didn't want to go. She'd rather spend the whole day in this room playing the piano. However,it won't be nice to send the guest away so she agreed. Rory followed butler Zoe and she made sure she marked the directions of the route to the piano room. When they reached downstairs,she saw a handsome man with black hair and black eyes. He was wearing casual clothes and he looked about Daniel's age. The man had an aura that was powerful and aloof but he wasn't as cold has Daniel. The man looked up and saw the darkest blue eyes staring at him with curiousity. Rory was carefully observing the man and the man was doing the same to Rory. His curiousity was piqued. Why was there a girl in Daniel's house? Daniel didn't like women. So who was she? Was she a friend? Of a relative of some sort? But Daniel didn't even like his mother visiting him. If he could do that to his mot

    "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.

    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

    The sun kissed the horizon as golden waves lapped softly against the shore. Rory’s laughter filled the air, a sound Daniel had feared he might never hear again. She ran ahead of him, her hair whipping in the salty breeze, her bare feet sinking into the cool sand.“Come on, slowpoke!” she called out, grinning over her shoulder.Daniel jogged to catch up, a small smile tugging at his lips. The past year had been a blur of pain, healing, and rediscovery. Therapy had helped Rory process the loss of their unborn child, and while the ache would never fully vanish, she had learned to carry it with grace. Daniel had his own scars, some visible, others etched deep within, but seeing Rory’s light return had made his burdens lighter.“Slowpoke?” he teased, catching her around the waist and spinning her. Her laughter bubbled out, bright and free. “I’m the one who kept up with you in therapy runs, remember?”“Barely,” she quipped, playfully swatting his arm as he set her down.They walked along th

    The hospital room was a hollow shell of life, filled with the mechanical hum of the ventilator and the faint beeping of the heart monitor. Rory sat by Daniel’s bedside, her fingers gently wrapped around his cold, unmoving hand. The once vibrant man she loved was now a pale reflection of himself, his face gaunt, his body thinner than she remembered. His smile, the light in his ocean-blue eyes, the warmth of his laughter—all of it had vanished into the sterile silence of this room.Rory’s cheeks were streaked with tears, her throat raw from months of pleading. She spoke to him as though her words could reach him, as though somewhere in the depths of his unconsciousness, he could hear her and find his way back.“Daniel,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “do you remember that summer we spent by the lake? You swore you’d teach me to fish, but I ended up tangling the line so badly we had to cut it. You laughed so hard you couldn’t even be mad at me.”Her fingers tightened around his, as

    The ambulance lights flickered like a warning, their red glow staining the night. Rory knelt beside Daniel, her trembling hands pressing against the gushing wounds. Blood soaked through her clothes, hot and unrelenting, as though time itself had opened its veins to bleed alongside him. His face was pale, his lips cracked, yet his eyes-oh, those eyes--still found hers, still held her like an anchor in the storm. "Stay with me, Dani," she whispered, her voice a broken hymn. But her words fell like ash, scattered by the wind. His smile was faint, weaker than the last exhale of a dying candle. "You will always... make me stay." And then his eyes fluttered closed. She screamed. A sound ripped from the marrow of her bones, a raw and primal anguish that silenced the world around her. Nate flinched at the sound, his breath hitching as he stumbled back. Rory crouched over Daniel's body, her hands now shaking too violently to apply pressure to the wounds. She was crumbling before him,

    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

    [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

    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

    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
