Blood in the Shadows

Arriving at the location, my eyes scanned the area. My only hope was that Darius was tagging along. Putting all my hope in him felt absurd, but there was no turning back now.I heard footsteps echoing, growing louder with each step.It was Gregor, finally arriving with a few of his men at his side. Our gazes locked.I finally caught a glimpse of that bastard after so many years. A reminder of the past few weeks struck me—the fact that I wanted him at my mercy, to pay for all he had caused me. But now, being this close, I couldn't make him pay. The situation was against me; I was surrounded by his men."Long time, Mr. Hawthorne," Gregor broke through the lingering silence. Our eyes remained fixed in a daring gaze."Where is she, Gregor? Where is Scarlet?" I questioned. The fact stood that I couldn't kill him—not now, at least. I just had to wait for Darius to get a clean shot and silence him. But before that happened, I needed answers. I needed him to reveal Scarlet's location before I

Torn Between Fear and Truth

Scarlet's POVMy head felt dizzy, my body giving off a weak scent. I couldn't deny my rumbling stomach. I had refused to accept the food they had offered me; they wanted me dead, so who knew, they could have possibly had it laced with poison.I managed a glimpse, gently opening my eyes. Standing at my side were still the same two men. I couldn't forget the muscular one—Kane, wasn't it? His grip still left a numb pain on my neck.My mind still couldn't accept the fact that I would be dead once Sebastian showed up. "How could this be happening?" I uttered, my voice barely a whisper, but it seemed to catch the attention of the men positioned at my side. Their eyes flickered at me before returning, but his eyes remained fixed on me, the same guy who had mocked my weak state."How was your nap?" he said, pretending to care. "Your face looks pale. You should have really eaten back then—you would surely need the strength."I hated it—his eyes mocking my despair. "I—I won't eat anything you b

Escape into Uncertainty

The whole area echoed with gunshots, followed by each moan of pain. One of the men grasped Sebastian, who was in an unconscious state, helping him up. I felt a grip on me as well; it was the scarred man."Let's go. We have to leave now," he uttered as he gripped my hand, leading me through the hallway as we ran for it.I tried to maintain our speed, but my weak state made it difficult. My vision was blurry, and my footsteps echoed haphazardly. Guns pointed ahead were silenced as bodies dropped to the ground, blood gushing out. I wanted to shut my eyes—it was hard to take in the gruesome sight. But I couldn't give up; I had to keep going, denying my body's weakness.As we made our way through, we finally arrived outside the building. The clear, bright sun left a piercing beam, causing me to shut my eyes a bit, having been in the dark for a while. They led me into a vehicle parked on the side as we hurriedly entered with gunshots still piercing the air."Let's go. Move it," the scarred

Unhealed Scars

Sebastian's POV"Come on, show me what you've got, huh, punk?" Laughter and mockery filled the air as their legs kept smashing into me, hitting me right in the stomach."Let me go, leave me alone," I uttered, but it seemed like my pleas fell on deaf ears. They continued to hit me relentlessly."Who the heck do you think you are, punk? Yeah, your father may be rich as fuck, but how dare you, you little brat, try and stand up to us?"Should I say they were angry, or should I say they were just jealous of the fact that I came from a wealthy family? They saw fit to inflict their anger on me, the only way they saw to get to me. Every day became a living hell, but I fought through it. I did try to stand my ground, but I crumbled in the end. Still, I didn't give up.Gunshots pierced the air, followed by the moans of pain increasing. Everything went dark.I was alone, blood dripping from my body."Stop," whispers escaped my lips."Stop," another followed."Just stop!" I uttered, only to be me

Resurrection of Loyalty

"How is this possible? I thought you were dead," I questioned Darius, still in disbelief."Well, I was, boss. Thankfully, I was wearing a bulletproof vest, so I only got bruised a little. I'm sorry that I arrived late, and they had already gotten to you hard," he apologized."No, Darius, it's okay. I really thought you were gone, and I own it to you for keeping your word and not failing me," I admitted."That's just my duty to you, boss. You don't need to thank me. I was the reason this all happened in the first place. I should have controlled and stopped Nikolai from harming Gregor's son. Maybe if I had managed to get that done, you wouldn't have been in that situation in the first place. I'm really sorry, boss, for my mistakes—grave mistakes, which I made. I can only promise that no further mistakes will be made on the way," he confessed.Truthfully, I couldn't have been happier that he was alive. I admit I was initially angry, but he was my best man, and losing your best man isn't

Pieces of the Past

Scarlet's POV Leaving the mansion, I parked my car on the side of the street, trying to catch my breath. My head still ached, and the wounds on my neck hadn't fully healed. I wanted to question Sebastian about what was going on, hoping to find answers to all my questions. I had gotten involved in his world and was almost killed in the process. The least he could do was tell me what was happening and why that man was after him.Did Sebastian really kill his son? And if so, was Sebastian in the wrong? Each question left a suffocating ache in my head. I just wanted everything to go away. Why did it feel like things had to take a turn for me each day? I wanted out of his world, but it seemed I was already entangled in it somehow.Why come after me when they all held grudges against Sebastian? Of course, I was his wife in the eyes of the world, so it made sense for them to target me as a way to get to him. Now my life was at risk because of things I had no knowledge of.I wrapped my hands

Shattered Clues

After consoling Sebastian's mother, I led her outside the restaurant to her car. I watched as she entered, wiping her tears before starting the engine and driving off. This meeting hadn't brought me any closer to the answers I sought.I made my way back to my car and started the engine, driving without a destination in mind. It seemed I had no choice but to ask Sebastian directly about his alleged criminal activities and the true profession he had kept hidden beneath his businessman persona. But I knew it wouldn't be easy to get answers from him.After driving for a while, I decided to park at my mom's house. I had wanted to check on her before I was kidnapped. I had no idea how she was doing. As I stepped out of the car, I caught sight of Evelyn exiting the building, followed by Tristan – the same guy who had apologized to me, claiming it was all a mistake. Here he was with Evelyn, and I watched as the two shared a warm embrace before turning and walking away together.I approached m

Twisted Realities

I stumbled back, a disoriented feeling washing over me. "What are you saying? What did you do, Evelyn?" I questioned, my hands raised, ready for an attack. What was she saying? Mom? Mental asylum? How was that possible? She was just fine a few days ago. Now, I was sure Evelyn must be lying. This had to be another one of her jokes, nothing less."Tell me now, Evelyn. What did you do to Mom? Answer me!" I uttered. All she let out was a slight chuckle with a sly grin, which only erupted a raging anger in me."What do you mean, 'what did I do to her'? I mean, the old lady went crazy, and she was taken in for treatment. How is that really my fault?" Evelyn replied, nonchalantly."Mom was just okay a few days ago! You're lying! She was fine, perfectly fine!" I shouted, disbelief clouding my mind."Oh, you don't believe me? Then why don't you go confirm it yourself?" Evenly challenged with a smirk."What do you mean?""She's in the city asylum, being treated. Why don't you go pay your precio

Seeking the Truth

"Yes, the illegal kind. The substance was quite a harmful one, which currently has left some of her organs damaged, and her brain cells also, which left her in such a state. We are not sure yet, but we think she might have gotten the addiction side effect as well.""Addiction side effect? Brain damage? Drug overdose? Please, what are you saying, doctor? My mom doesn't take those kinds of drugs, so how is this possible?" My mom hardly smoked or drank, and now I was being informed that she had gotten into drugs. It all sounded absurd to me, knowing that my mom would never involve herself in such things. I knew my dad's death must have traumatized her or left her down, but yet, she couldn't, right?"I know this may be a lot for you to take in, but you have to try. The reports displayed show that it was due to a drug overdose.""Alright, doctor, let's say it's so. But what can we do now? Is my mom ever going to be alright again? Would my mom still be able to recognize me as her daughter o

Uninvited Moments

Sebastian's POV;As my eyes opened, a buzz caused my ears to focus on the doorbell being rung, which persisted for a while before being answered by the maid. I was quite sure it wasn’t Scarlet."He's upstairs in his room," I heard the maid utter, and not long after, I could grasp footsteps approaching as they grew nearer to my door, leaving a creak as my eyes caught sight of Annabel walking in."Annabel?" I questioned, curious as to why she was here. I then remembered I had been absent from the workplace for some days and hadn't been in discussion with her during that period. As she got closer, I noticed a pause in her demeanor, and I watched her expression light up with concern."Boss, what happened to you?" she rushed, growing near and sitting on the bed beside me, her hands unsure where to lay a touch, as half my body was bandaged."It's nothing, Annabel," I said as I tried to sit up on the bed."How did this happen, boss? Who did this?" she continued to press."Let's just say some
