"Must we really attend the party?" Ivanna whimpered as she wandered behind Nicholas. They were outside of the Quinn's Mansion.The Quinns were hosting a party, and the Pierlot were invited. Mr Pierlot wasn't accessible, so he instructed his children to attend in his place."Dad wanted us to, so stop whimpering." He hissed, and Ivanna glared.As they walked to the entrance of the mansion, someone recognized Nicholas and ushered them in."It's been a while, Nicholas," It was Mr Quinn."It sure is, uncle," Nicholas answered back politely. Mr Quinn was an influential man."Ah, this must be Ivanna, what a lovely lady she has become." Mr Quinn commented and Ivanna glowed.Ivanna glanced around the room and noticed how filled up it was. She didn't really know what the party was about, but she knew it had something to do with business."Ummm...Uncle, what's this party about?" Ivanna asked.Mr Quinn smiled and glanced around the room. "It's supposed to be a business party, but I guess I've tur
Rogue couldn't believe this was happening. He glanced at the others and urged them to obey as he turned around. "Fucking bitches." He mumbled under his breath."Ivanna?"Rogue heard a voice he presumed to be her brother's, which made him whirl his eyes. Plopping a hole in the cop's head crossed his mind, but he shook his head with disagreement."Handcuff these suspects." The leader commanded.Like hell, they would. Rogue balled his fingers."Wait," Mr. Vogel said as he moved closer to them. "He's my son, let him be." The cop looked closely at Mr. Vogel and then at Rogue before nodding at his men."Inspect the area and bring evidence of anything you deem suspicious." The leader said."Yes sir!"Mr. Vogel stared at Rogue as he spun unhurriedly. "What happened?" He inquired. "Are you hurt?" Concern filled his voice.Rogue grunted a little. "A little, I think. I think I sprained my shoulder getting that fat girl to the shore." He rotated his shoulder to prove his point. "What about you? H
"Marry me, and everything I possess will be yours."Ivanna glanced at the man proposing from the corner of her eyes. His face was blank and he wasn't even down on one knee. Rather, he appeared relaxed as he planted his back on his car. They were in a disclosed niche.Who proposes in that manner?The girl he was proposing to didn't seem impressed and darted disappointedly at his expression, before storming off. But not before she whacked his devilish face with her purse.The shock on his face made Ivanna rupture into laughter.The laughter happened to have been loud since she caught a glare from the man. His face hardened as his eyes found her.Her bad.She hastily jumped off her seat and attempted to fade away into the crowd. It was nighttime anyway.But the man didn't seem to want her gone yet as he trailed behind her with long steps.Ok, now this is creepy.She picked her pace and began running. She halted when she got to a juncture, the man wasn't after her anymore. Her eyes scanne
"Father," Rogue mumbled.She reckoned the man behind the door was his father."Are you alright, Rogue?"Ivanna heard the man, Mr Quinn inquire."Yes. Is there a problem?" Rogue asked.Ivanna could tell he knew what was wrong. His voice was too calm."Not quite. Mr Pierlot's daughter, Ivanna went missing the same minute as you, so I thought you might have been kidnapped …nevermind. I'm glad you're safe."Ivanna's eyes broadened."I haven't seen her since you introduced her and her brother to me. I hope she's found soon, but I'm sure she isn't missing.." Rogue said to his father."I know, I just thought I should check on you, to make sure you're okay. This country is crammed with dangerous people, and I hope you stay away from them." Mr Quinn advised.Ivanna found it weird that he didn't even invite his father inside his house. She was surprised at how calmly he spoke while lying to his father."I never keep bad company, father."Mr Quinn smiled. After some time he left.The tape around
Ivanna watched as the door to the room she was given slid open. And Rogue stepped inside."What do you want with me?" She ask, she had been at his Mansion for a week now. She knew he wasn't planning on killing her soon, not when the entire town was searching for her."You should have disappeared when I told you to,""I did nothing wrong, why should I disappear? It's because of the girl, isn't it?"He didn't reply for a moment. "I'll give you another chance to leave. Flee. If you still desire to keep that pretty little neck of yours intact, heed my advice." He didn't wait for a response and strode out.She contemplates his words for minutes. Moments later, she heard a noise downstairs. Fast reflection made her jump off her bed and ran towards the door. She placed her hand on the hold, and surprisedly, it opened.It was nighttime, but it wasn't that dark yet. She climbed down the stairs and headed towards the noise.It was coming from a room. The room's door was narrowly unlocked, so sh
The night of that big announcement, Ivanna tossed on her bed with uneasiness. Marriage was the last thing on her mind as it was the only obstacle she was encountering on her way to achieving her big dreams.She needed a plan. But She didn't get the chance to think when an almost silent knock came on her door."It's me, Nicholas," A voice said from outside. She hurried to it and unlocked it. "Are you alright?" He asked immediately as his face came into view with a concern-filled tone.Nobody knows her more than her brother. His concern brought tears to her eyes.She shook her head softly."Don't worry," He said as he pulled her into a hug. "I know how much you aren't happy about this, it's my fault for supporting father instead of you." She tightened her arms around him. "So it's up to me to correct it,"She raised her face and looked at his face. "What do you mean?""There's a ship leaving for the capital, It's father's ship but they answer to me. I can get you inside and transport yo

She halted when she got to a juncture, the man wasn't after her anymore. Her eyes scanned the crowd, scouring for someone.She could recollect he instructed her to remain where she was, and now she couldn't even recognize where had been earlier.She inhaled deeply before releasing it. It felt good to be at home. Being back in the country after a decade and a half felt great."Ivanna
