Twists and Turns. Worried
***Flashback*** "Rory! Where are you?!"A young girl shouted. She was about 7 or 8. Her small face which was meant to emit innocence was cold and arrogant. "Here I am,Young madame"Rory came rushing and bowed her head. Not daring to look up. She was wearing a maid's uniform but it only made her cuter. Her chubby cheeks were filled with bruises caused by Mrs Devane and Sammy. Her father didn't really care about what they did to Rory. To him,Sammy was his only child and Rory was a servant. Rory was frequently abused and tortured by the mother daughter pair. "My room is a mess! I am going to have teaparty. My friends are coming and my room hasn't been cleaned. Yesterday,my friends came over and they said my room was to dirty!"She yelled at Rory. Anger and viciousness was in her eyes. Rory just looked down and didn't say anything. But her silence only made Sammy angrier. "Can't speak? Huh? Are you mute?"She yanked Rory hard and started hitting her,but Rory didn't make

"Papi?"Her voice was low and hoarse. She was awake!"Koala?!"Daniel could barely contain the excitement in his voice. Even though his face held no emotions,his grey eyes that were shining and his thrilled voice gave it away."Hmm"Rory hummed in reply. Her face was still pale and her lips had no colour. Still,she looked as beautiful and pure as an angel. "How are you feeling? Are you in pain? Do you need anything?"He started bombarding her with questions."Papi?"She called out to him softly "Yes?""I am fine. Just a little hungry"She giggled."You're hungry? What do you wanna eat?"He asked."Hamburger,pizza, lasagna,mashed potatoes,scrambled eggs..."She went on and on.Daniel chuckled and said,"You just had surgery,how about you eat something light?"Rory's face fell. She pouted her lips and said stubbornly,"I am not hungry then""Don't behave like this. It would be really nice if you ate""Besides I know you eat a lot. A wonder you are not gaining weight"He teased her.Rory's face g

Her dark blue eyes,stared at the building in front of her. Her hair,which was long was now curled and reached her shoulders. The uniform hugged her waist and gave off a formal,serious vibe. The 5 inch heel and black pop sock she wore only made her more beautiful.Those eyes that would have looked cute and heartwarming,was now cold and had a tinge of danger.Walking into the school with her head held high and her bag hanging over shoulders,everyone couldn't help but ogle her. She was a beauty. Mistake,she was a goddess. Every step she took made everyone hold their breaths."Rory? Is that you?"Blaire walked over in shock."Mm"She answered simply.It wasn't that she looked completely different,but there was just this change to her countenance. A change she couldn't put a finger on."It's been like what? A month?"She hugged Rory.Rory rolled her eyes. They still saw each other yesterday and she was acting like it had been ages since they saw. "Hey beautiful!"David came over and greeted

Daniel walked into the room. His eyes immediately landed on Rory. Seeing what she was wearing,his eyes darkened.His Adam apple bobbled up and down."You're back"She said softly. "Hmm""How was work? You hungry?"She moved closer to him, oblivious to the look in his eyes."Yes"His voice was low and had a hint of danger. He was already filled with lust.Rory didn't understand the meaning behind his answer,so she asked innocently,"What do you want to eat? I mean have already eaten but I can still.."Before she could finish her statement,Daniel grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in for a kiss.His lips met her's. They were so soft that he was sure that just biting it would make it bleed. Rory was in shock and didn't know what to do but she just wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes,following his rhythm.Daniel pried her mouth opened and she let out a soft moan.At this point,he had already lost all control of his rational thinking. All he wanted to do was rip the clo

Rory was walking through the halls. She saw the school's bulletin board and stood in front of it. But it wasn't the board that caught her attention but a poster. It was an Arts competition. The poster was very beautiful and sparkly. It read: 'The Next Picasso Art Competition. Criteria: Only for those who have the guts to go against Picasso'. She was so intrigued by the poster that she didn't notice someone's presence beside her."Thinking of signing up?"The voice beside her questioned."Hmm?"She snapped out of it and turned to where the voice came from."Samantha"She uttered in disgust."That's no way to talk to your sister"Samantha said as if she had been wronged."What do you want from me? What part of 'stay away from me' didn't you get the last time?"Rory scowled at her."Sheesh! No need to get all riled up. You were so deeply concentrated on the poster I thought you wanted to sign up""How does that concern you?"Rory said with contempt written all over her face. She started walkin

"Those women are wretches. How did you leave with them all these years?"Oliver questioned"Patience"Rory said with a smile."Patience?"Oliver asked again."Yes. Patience of knowing that you'll get your revenge one day"She breathed in fresh air and exhaled before she continued,"And it feels good""Yeah""Hey guys!"Blaire,David, Kay and Terrence walked over to greet them."Hey"Rory said."Hello you guys"Oliver replied with a smile.Kay couldn't help drooling when she saw his smile"Kay,you're drooling"Terrence taunted."Huh?"She touched her lip area and saw there was no drool and Kay smacked him tight on his shoulder.Everyone started laughing."Is this how your friends are?"Oliver was amused."Huh huh. They love to fool around a lot"Rory smiled."It's good to know that you have nice people around you. Now I can be rest assured,you'll be just fine"He patted her head."So you are going?"She asked"Sure. Be good. And if these witches give you any trouble,you know who to call"Oliver clicked

"Would you mind retaking the test?"He dropped the news."What?"Miss Agatha was in shock.Mr Walker had a smug smile on his face."Why?"Just a simple question."Because Mr Walker here as a hard time believing that you didn't pass the exams without malpractice."Mr Lawrence,the Biology teacher answered, sending a mocking look his way."Mr Lawrence it's not about me,it's about the NCE,remember? That's why we all gathered here"He defended himself and everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes."Besides unlike all of you,I ask the right questions and I teach that to my students that's why the students in my class always get the top spot"He boasted."Exactly!"Miss Agatha agreed with a smile."Thankfully Miss Agatha has come to her senses and realized the truth""Oh yes I have. I finally understand why our school never made it pass the district levels"Miss Agatha said sarcastically with a provocative smile on her face.The teachers couldn't help but laugh."Principal I wouldn't mind retaking t

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?
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-SIX. DEAD.
“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
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-TWO. MIND GAMES(1).
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
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINTY-ONE. JORDAN.
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
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY. LLIERAM.
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
