"Daddy!", the little girl who was sticking close to her mommy meekly came to life as she ran towards the man.
"Ruby", the man cried with a voice full of affection as he hugged the little girl tightly in his arm. He checked to see if everything was fine or not. "Ruby, are you hurt? Did anyone do anything to you?" The man was flustered and once again kissed the little head in front of him.
"Honey", a silky smooth voice called him drawing his attention from his daughter to the woman who was standing in front of him. She was a fair and simple lady. He hurriedly went to her and hugged her tightly. "You okay? What are you two doing here?"
Thousand thoughts were running in his mind as he resumed his action of hugging the two of his beloved people. 'He might be thinking to kill me before them giving them more mental torture or this devil might be thinking about ruining the life of these two people who were the apple of his eyes.' He tried to think positive that he might have brought them to threaten him to spill out the beans about his boss. Although he was loyal to his boss it didn't mean a shit in front of his family. He was willing to anything now as long as the two people in his arms were safe and well.
"Honey, we are fine. Nobody treated us badly but we are also confused why we were invited to such a big mansion. They said something about you being sick….but you look fine… only a little worn out." The wife asked with concern as she noticed his pale lips and the heavy bags under his red shot eyes. Although she didn't know what the situation was she could tell something was wrong. Listening to his wife he felt relieved realizing his line of work was still unknown to her. She would have to know it sooner or later but he wanted to be the one who will tell her after she was ready to accept it.
Rena looked at the man who looked so high and mighty even as he sat there expressionless. Rena was a smart woman. She knew her husband wasn't a normal security guard but whenever she tried to pry further into his profession her husband used to change subject and pretend as if he didn't listen to it. Looking at the present scenario he must have done something wrong but what? Countless thought ran across her mind as an unknown fear crept into her heart.
Looking at this family reunion the three men sat in silence. When around five minutes had passed a cold voice spread throughout the room. "Since it looks like all of us are here shall we talk about business?" "You know what I want from you, don't you?" He stared straight into the eyes of the pale man. The man felt that he wasn't asking question but rather he had already decided everything and was just passing down his decree.
The man fell down on his knees as he spoke trembling. "I am ready to offer anything in exchange for your mercy to my family." Rena didn't know anything but she also copied the action of her husband. "Whatever he has done to offend you I beg you to let me also pay for his crime."
Looking at the scene which looked identical to a historical setup Chris couldn't help but sigh deeply as he knew they had misunderstood his brother. The problem was also with his brother who was really a man of few words.
He could only understand him as he had been with him for the longest period of time. When he turned to look at specimen of a human kind that is his brother another heavy sigh left his mouth before he could even realize. The man was expressionless as ever but his eyes couldn't betray the confusion brewing inside him.
He had always been an observant man so he had felt like he had seen the man somewhere before. When he was studying crime and psychology as an additional course in university he had gained accessed to some of the cases and he had been interested in this particular case which seemed to have been modified and changed to match the interest of certain individual and party.
Although it was old he dug up all the events surrounding it. He wanted to know the truth tho it didn't meant a thing for the convicted person now. He had been successful in finding all the facts surrounding this case.
Some words from author to the readers:
[The next chapter contains story of Isaac and because it is imortant for undersatnading the charcter of our Male lead I suggest you to read it. Or you can skip it whichever you feel better.]
***This chapter contains violence and rape. If you are uncomfortable with such contents you skip that part.*He had doubts so he had asked to check the history and background of the man. Named Isaac and aged 40 at present, before he had been an honest worker, a security guard at a well-known company full of duty and righteousness. Despite being at a young age he was dedicated to his work but at the age of 25 he was charged with various offences and crimes. What more a lawsuit was charged against him for selling and spreading the private and classified information of the company to the competitors by the higher ups of the company.One day when he was patrolling the parking lot, he heard the scream of the woman coming from one of the car. He rushed there immediately only to find a lifeless body being thrown out form the car. A young man around same age as him at that time sat inside panting heavily with sweats covering his forehead. Looking at the torn clothes on the alm
"Hello Mr. Isaac. I'm Franklin Loom, your lawyer for the hearing." Isaac sat in a chair separated by a glass partition from the man in a black coat wearing a dark framed glasses. "Hello, thank you so much for taking my case." Isaac sincerely thanked the lawyer."Enough with these pleasantries, let's get to the main point immediately." Franklin looked impatient and irritated for some reasons. 'Oh, seems like even my lawyer is not willing to fight for me.' Isaac was grim and even his last shred of hope was snugged out. He gave up. He directly told the lawyer, "What do they want from me? What should I do? Hmm?""Looks like you are not as stupid as you look", the lawyer finally showed a smirk. "So you plead guilty in the court tomorrow and that way everyone can have a happy ending." The lawyer leaned back on his chair as he said this.Unlike how the lawyer had first entered all gloomy and irritated when he left the meeting room he was in a good mood. He was th
The couple entered the room after sorting out everything between them. "Mummy, daddy", Ruby ran towards them smiling showing her brilliant smile. After looking at his wife and daughter Isaac didn't want to die and leave his precious treasure behind all alone in this world. He was ready to die for the boss who took him in when he had nothing. 'I m allowed to be selfish once in a while can't I?' Isaac thought as his desire to be with his family grew stronger.Isaac directly went in front of the man and said, "I don't want to die yet. I have things I need to take care of and things I need to see through till the last of my capability." This time Isaac didn't have the pathetic begging attitude but he seemed determined and eyes were full of light completely different from the man of last night who was psychotic. Letting him cool spend a night in oblivion was the best decision. Kim and Chris both gave thumbs up to their boss in their heart.Chris did all the talking for his
One month passed in a blink of an eye and it was time for graduation. Normally parents were the one who came with the students to get their certificate. Elaine was enthusiastic for the graduation even more than others for she was accepted in the university she wanted. Although she didn't get the hostel her tuition and training was free. She had a very important goal to achieve and it could be only fulfilled if she enrolled in that particular university."Central Military School" was the top most university in the country that produced the best soldiers and civil workers in the country. Because of this even the government gave a huge priority to this institution and provided scholarship to top and worthy students. "Congratulations Elaine. All the best for your future." She was congratulated by her peers and teachers and she thanked them whole heartedly. The one month she spent opening up herself to her students had left her many memories. She was going to miss them but t
The day had finally arrived. It was time for Elaine to say goodbye to the small village. It was not like she was going away forever but she still had an attachment towards the place where she had grown up and lived with her parents. She also had the memory of her first love or maybe it was appropriate to call him her crush since he went away before she could express her feelings. If fate was willing then she might just bump into him in the streets. This place was filled with bittersweet memories. Elaine smiled as she went over every event. She stopped a few step away from the house and turned back one last time to look at it. "I am off Mom and Dad. I will be back. Take care of house for me." "Grandpa, Grandma." Elaine waved at the two elderly couple who were waiting for at the bus stop. "This girl is also leaving us." Mrs. Ron was only trying hard holding back her tears but her old feeble hand couldn't help but tremble as she patted her head. "
He had to look at her twice to make sure he was not hallucinating but he didn't want to be found by her if she was really Elaine. The girl hesitatingly looked behind her eyes showing the strong desire to see something."It really is you." The man didn't know whether to be happy or distressed that he saw her here.The last time he had seen her she was still a childish young girl always following him and pulling the cuffs of his school shirt which was as white as clouds on a sunny day. Even when he scolded her she used to smile like an idiot without any care.He always knew that girl had some feelings for him but he had ignored it thinking it as a child's obsession."I finally found you." His inner thoughts came to sudden halt when he heard the calm voice behind him. He didn't have to turn around to know who it was. The voice was more mature than before and he could hear the stiffness in her voice as she suppressed her words and tears down her throat.
Elaine finally came back to her senses when her body hit the soft bed.“I actually agreed to come to his house.” Elaine imagined beating herself up for being such a dork and spacing out.She finally glanced around the room. It was neat and tidy with just the right amount of furniture and decorations. She glanced at the willows painting on the wall. It brought back the memory from her past.Elaine had a small argument with her mom so she ran away from home to spend some time alone in her secret hideout but it was occupied by somebody else. She was angry as indicated by her red chubby cheeks. She silently approached the sleeping boy.“He is so handsome.” Elaine gasped as she looked at his face. She extended her small hands to touch his high nose and giggled when he frowned.“Even good looking when frowning.” Elaine was giving points in her heart. She was caught in surprise as the boy opened his eyes staring s
"This chapter contains mature content."“Sophie, Why are you here?” Drake removed the hands from his neck. He dodged sideways when she tried to kiss him. Sophie was little upset seeing him trying to shun her away. Even though she was right before him, he wasn’t paying attention.“You didn’t miss me, did you?” Sophie pouted as she pushed the man against the wall totally unaware of presence of another woman in the house.Sophie was a woman with just the right curves and her body was oozing with sexiness and maturity. In other words she was the ideal woman of Drake. Elaine turned around and happened to witness a woman kissing Drake as she clung to him, her bosom pressed against him.She felt her heart grow cold. Even worse her eye made a contact with Sophie’s who let go of Drake when she saw someone unexpected. Thousands of emotions could be seen passing through her face: surprise, shock, jealousy, hatr
Everything looks perfect. It was the perfect evening with the perfect scene of the evening sun that was setting on the horizon. Peace, serenity and contentment; a mixture of all these feelings overflew within Elaine as she looked at the silent beach while silently looking at the constant ebb of the waves. How long it had been since they saw something like this together, she wondered as her hands travelled to touch the back of Michael’s hand that was resting on her lap. Two figures stayed in silence that was equivalent to their inner peace and satisfaction on a bench near the sea looking at the seagulls that were flying on the great bluish red horizon. “Thank you for being with me all this time,” Elaine smiled as she looked at the profile view of Michael who had a faint smile on his well chiseled face. It was their 5th year of marriage; according to some people this amount of time was more than enough for th
After two years A beautiful and well-maintained Villa was in sight. It was surrounded by a huge plain land that was filled with beautiful flowers and plants. The whole scene looked quite mesmerizing and enchanting. The sun was high up in the sky by was slowly moving towards the western hills to hide itself amongst the clouds, painting the whole sky golden and a bright shade of red. One would probably call this setting romantic or better, a beautiful scene right out of a fairy tale. Few people were walking in the ground as they busily moved their hands to do the things that needed a lot of manpower and time to do. These people were dressed in neat and ironed maid and butler dresses. But no matter how much they tried to look like well-established gentlemen who were lending hand to the maids to work around, one could see their piercings and tattoos that looked fiercer in contrast
Elaine’s eyelid fluttered open as she felt his hot breath in her ear, making her a bit ticklish. It was winter, however, right now she felt like she was living in mid-summer. The heat surrounding her was enough to melt her. She moved her hand, her fingertips traced a straight line on his masculine back, caressing every muscle before finally reaching his nape. The heat was getting to her mind, making her delirious. However, she followed her desire to give everything to the man she loved, Michael, while taking everything she could from him. Feeling his soft but firm lips against her own, she blushed a bit. Even this small amount of intimacy caused her endless pleasure. Yet, it was just the beginning.
“Hey, where have you been?” Elaine looked with puffed up eyes and a red face, at the guy who was sneaking inside the hospital room. She was holding a pile of laundry in her hand as she glared at the man with red eyes full of questions. “Oops, I was caught right?” Michel who was still dressed in his hospital gown with a bandage around his stomach looked at Elaine with a half embarrassed and half smiling face. “What do you think?” Elaine rolled her eyes as she proceeded to keep the folded laundry in the wardrobe. Although he was caught sneaking, his face showed no sign of remorse or regret. In contrast, he seemed to be a little happy about it. No matter what he did, it seemed to him that he could not run away from his lover’s eyes. It kind of made him happy. “Well, I am back, aren’t I?” He winked while hiding something in his hand. He was holding something in his hand that he had gotten after sneaking out. He placed his h
Elaine did not know when or how they reached the hospital. All she saw was the bleeding man in front of her, the man she loved. He was unconscious and it was scary. She did not know what to do except for pleading with the nurses and doctors that were taking him for an operation. “Please, stay with me…” she pleaded as she held his hands. She was breaking down with each passing second. She was dying inside as she watched the weak light in his eyes dilate. “Please, get her to another ward to get a check-up,” the military head asked as soon as Michale was sent to the operating center. She could not believe it, she could not believe anything that was happening at the moment was real. Most importantly, she did not want to believe it was real. She did not want to leave his side no matter what. “Please, miss,” the nurse managed to separate her away from Michale who was heading to the operating room. He needed to get surgery soon, otherwise, he was going to die cause of blood loss. Elaine
Elaine was too shocked and frozen to understand and react to what was happening all of sudden. So, she watched with her eyes opened up in surprise at the devil that was running towards them, well, her to be more precise. …… “What is the situation over there? A man dressed in military dress spoke in his walkie talkie. “Sir,” a man who was in a slightly lower rank than him said with a slightly hesitant voice as he looked at the surrounding around him. They had come here in an important mission as they had gotten a confidential information from their undercover agent that someone from the government was being held hostage by the convict who was supposed to have been dead in the raid 3 months ago. The place they were at was located in an extremely deserted location that even they had hard time finishing. Whoever the person was, he had to salute that person for being able to contact them even while being held hostages. But, it
“Oho, little missy.” Dave saw that Elaine had somehow loosened the rope that had bound her hand. “Are you trying to escape from here?” he asked with a mockery smile on his face. The look on his face clearly said that he was not going to let her leave this place alive or dead. “Dave!” Elaine muttered the name half conscious, half asleep. There was no way he was going to let the girl who ruined their perfect plan and reduced it to nothingness to go away from his hands. Elaine looked at her hands and turned her attention to the guy who was slowly advancing toward herself. ‘Just a little more,’ she encouraged herself to not give up and continued with the work of untying the rope. If she was going to leave this place alive, no one else was going to help her except herself. She did not want anything to happen to others anymore. Taking a deep breathe she looked at the side and saw the lifeless body of Ark which was b
Dave; He is the leader of the Black Rose Gang. After spending his time in seclusion after the demise of his parents, he had not appeared much often in the public. After all, his gang, and especially the head was in a vulnerable position of getting killed anytime. So, all this time, he had been living in foreign nations, hiding while making plans to come back to the central city. He could never abandon the central city, after all, it was the palace where everything started. He had plans to attack the Tyrell Gang slowly when it was weakened. He had also planned to take help from Aurora and anyone he could. He did not mind getting his hand dirty to get what he wanted. However, everything changed when he got the recent news. Someone was digging into the past of the black rose gang and their misconduct. Well, it was only fair that as a mafia gang, they are supposed to do dirty work. Nevertheless, this was going to pour water into all of his har
“Where is everyone?” A man dressed in a black tailored suit was standing on an elevated platform that was on the center of the ground. “Is everyone dead?” He shouted out loud but the only thing that replied back to him was his own reflected voice. He was surrounded by black chairs from all around and with how dark the room looked, the person looked much more intimidating than he was. The size of the room was immense but the presence of the man was much greater than the room itself. Hearing his voice, a man who was also dressed formally came running forward from the door. From the looks of it, he seemed to be some kind of security guard. “B-Boss..” He was staggering as he walked. From how surprised and taken aback he looked, there was no doubt, the visit from this Boss was unexpected. “Oh, here comes someone,” he chuckled as he spoke. His eyes followed the movement of the man from the moment he had entered the hall. Seemed
