Forced Alliances

Claire blinked and punched her arm to make sure she was alive. It was like she had heard the world was coming to an end. Two million dollars was a lot of money and one she wasn't ready to handle.Although she had been lusting for power, she still felt that she was in trouble. With the amount she was given, she knew he would be asking her to do other things soon.“What are you up to?” Claire asked, getting ahold of herself.“That's no way to talk to your Dad or appreciate a gift. I wasn't sure that you would see through the wedding till the end. Even though you had rejected the money I initially offered, as a businessman, I can't let you make such an unreasonable choice,” Jason said.Claire bit her lip, she wanted to reject the money but all of a sudden, her mouth didn't belong to her. It was as though she had lost the ability to speak anymore.“To be clear, this doesn't make a difference to me. You're still an inconsiderable person who has no human feelings,” said Claire.“Whatever, I

The Mother's Interest

Twisted Fate/Rachel Melendez

The door opened, and Claire sat and put her phone on the desk. In the large room, she felt like little.A lady walked in, pushing a tray of food. Claire hadn't ordered any food, so she was shocked by this, but she was even more surprised when she saw the next person who walked in.“Come quickly, you sloth. Do you think I have time for your laxity?” Said a voice from outside the door.Judging by the voice, Claire could tell it wasn't someone she had met before. It sounded more domineering and made her feel like she had to be on her guard.Claire certainly did, as the next person who walked in was Melissa Gold, Ryan’s Mom.Claire was taken aback when she walked in. She had met her once at the wedding but hadn't had a serious conversation with her.In truth, she hadn't had any conversations with her as Melissa was too busy with other activities.The only time they made eye contact was when she was dancing with Mason. At that moment, she had managed to catch her glance at her, and for a f

Claire looked down shyly and forced a weak smile. Claire was also getting bored and had also been willing to get it all over with. Seeing Claire’s reluctance to answer the question, Melissa decided to brighten the mood with desserts on the tray.Melissa took some out of it and ate it. Melissa then signaled Claire to have some. Claire smiled and took some.She knew she would have to answer the question as soon as she finished the bite, so she ate as slowly as possible.“It's just as I expected. From your reaction, I can see that it's not going as well as you would like. That's disappointing, well, you see, my son has had a weird romantic life. Sometimes, I feel that he is gay and then doubt myself,” Melissa said.Claire was pleasantly surprised by what she had just heard as she paused amid a bite. Claire had not even considered such a possibility. If it were true, she would have much less to worry about.Claire began to feel more relaxed and could eat more calmly now until she heard t

Power Play

Claire was on her bed watching a movie when she heard a soft knock on the door. Claire listened again to ensure she had heard correctly, and she found out it was so.The knock came again, this time far louder than before. Oh no, who could it be knocking at this night?Claire checked the time; it was well past Ten. At such an hour, whoever could knock couldn't be up to any good.Claire remembered the day of the wedding and the things that had happened that day. As a result, many strange thoughts began to go through her mind.The man she had married was one who often got drunk and, from past experiences, could tell that drunk men were dangerous ones.Not only was he a drunkard, but he was a friend of Mason, which meant that he was a degenerate as well, or so she loved to believe.The knock came again; this time, Claire knew she had no choice but to allow the person in. Claire sighed and closed her eyes before letting the person in. When she saw who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief.

A Taste of Control

“Why aren't you eating your food? Isn't it delicious enough?” he asked, making Claire turn around quickly.Claire wondered what kind of man he was. He had moved from his side of the table to behind her, and she hadn't even noticed.With such skills, he might have been a powerful assassin in his former life. Still, Claire had to get a hold of herself.She was still staring at him, who only looked at her food without shaking or moving. Looking at him, one might think he was seeing something relevant. Claire's thoughts were interrupted again when she heard his voice again. It seemed like he was always ready to surprise her when she least expected it.Claire tried to speak but found it extremely hard when she saw the look on his face. He didn't have the blank look anymore; he was smiling, which was even more surprising considering his words.“I asked you a question, girl,” he said.“Um, the food is good. The chefs are very experienced, and I can tell they have done this job for a long ti

Into the Unknown

Twisted Fate/Rachel Melendez

Close froze out of stock and bewilderment. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Ryan expected her to wait in his bed. The ease with which he had said those words further amplified his alpha nature.Claire wondered where her fate would be at the hands of an untoward person like him. In such an untenable situation, she had no choice but to look on and hope to escape by a faint stroke of luck.Out of nowhere, a shrill laughter filled the room again. Claire looked at him in surprise; why did he laugh at the things that weren't funny in any way? She wondered.Claire was terrified, yet he was having as much fun as possible. Was it all an act, or was this his true nature?“You intrigue me, girl. What do you take me for? I'm not going after that just yet. There's more than enough love for you and my chicks. If you don't want to do Iti, don't think I'm going to try and force you,” he replied, caressing her neck, which sent shivers through her body.This man was nuts; his words and act

Testing Boundaries

Claire looked at other parts of the room before bringing her attention back to the paintings. Strangely, some sides of the building were quite ancient and she could imagine why it had been left that way.Claire reasoned that it was probably to keep the originality of the mansion as it was surely an ancient one and had been redecorated over the years.Claire decided to bring her attention back to Ryan and saw he was smiling sheepishly at one of the paintings which was the oldest of them.“It's a great sight, isn't it?” Ryan asked.“Yes, I guess it is,” Claire replied.“There are so many faces and the style of painting is renovated with each painting since there are a lot of years in between. It's quite funny how there is always a price to be paid for a lot of good, isn't it!” Ryan asked, coughing slightly.Claire opened her mouth to reply but could not when the coughing continued. Claire remained still in hopes that the coughing would seize but she was wrong. “Are you okay? Should I g

A Delicate Balance

“Why are you getting so worked up? After all, I'm only telling the truth,” Claire asked.Ryan signed, he knew she was yelling the truth like she said but he was still very angry about it as he didn't like her tone in any way.“What's this about?” Ryan asked, losing it finally after all. “I already told you,” I have no idea what else you need to hear from me,” Claire replied.Ryan sighed and coughed again. Ryan checked the time, It was very close to midnight and he was getting sleepy.Ryan contemplated going to retire in his chambers but he quickly banished the thoughts as he wasn't ready to let Claire have peace.“Watch your tone. Now, pick up the Lamp, and let's keep walking,” Ryan said after a short and awkward moment of silence.Claire did as Instructed and they left the room. After locking the door, Ryan instructed that Claire go ahead of him as she was the one with the light.Claire was uncomfortable with this as she had no idea what he was up to. However, refusing him wasn't an

The Unexpected Turn

Twisted Fate/Rachel Melendez

All of a sudden, Ryan threw the candle off and pulled her up into his arms. They were close and Claire couldn't believe it but they could still see each other clearly in the darkness.They stood there, silent for a few seconds as Claire had also held Ryan instinctively when he pulled her close for fear that he would let her go.Ryan was looking into her eyes and she was doing the same. It appeared that they weren't in a hurry to leave each other as they provided each other in the cold.Claire didn't have much choice to let go since her feet were barely on the edge of the stairs so she was a bit taken by surprise when he refused to let her go.All of a sudden, Ryan brought his eyes down to her lips, making her go wild. It came from nowhere. Claire couldn't believe it and she wasn't prepared if he was about to do what she thought he was going to do.“What are you doing?” Claire asked, her voice barely a whisper.“I'm sorry, it's just that I was expecting to hear you sing again as apprec

A Family Affair

Twisted Fate/Rachel Melendez

Ryan woke up to a slight tap on the shoulder. Ryan was having the most horrendous dream he had ever had. In the dream, he and Claire had been running away from monsters that were attacking them.Ryan had no idea what the reason was for such a dream but he knew he remembered it perfectly and was sure he was not mistaken.Looking around, Ryan wondered where he was and why he was under the clear sky and not in his bedroom. Ryan heard a voice and only then did he decide to pay any attention to the ones who had been tapping him before.Ryan saw Anton, the man who was the male head of the household workers. He had been with the family for a very long time and he was very loyal to the family.“What are you doing here? What am I doing here?” Ryan asked, making the man stutter as he was unsure of which question he was supposed to answer first.“Well, typically yesterday you and the lady had a nice meal and you both came here to spend the night. I'm guessing you were so overwhelmed by the dri
