57. A Mole in A. K. Media
Victory waited the whole day for Aaron to update her on Arthur's release.
First, she paced around her apartment restlessly. Muttering incoherent words under her breath. Checking her phone every five seconds. Going over all the different scenarios in her head, picturing sordid thoughts of Arthur being tortured by unscrupulous police officers while in custody.
Seconds slowly ticked into minutes.
She played with Astor, bathed him, fed him, cleaned up his room, tidied his closet and took out all of his newborn clothes and put them in a box, marked for charity.
Minutes painfully crawled into hours.
She cleaned the apartment, rearranged the kitchen, reorganised the closet, gave out unused clothes to charity and completed everything in her to do list.
And hours hauntingly morphed into days.
Time seems to crawl agonisingly slow when you are lying in wait. And during that time, Victory was incredibly productive, she co

Arthur was sitting alone in a darkened corner booth, holding a glass of vodka in his hands. He was not garbed in his usual fancy designer suits. Like Victory, tonight Arthur was also on a mission. His thick dark hair was covered by a nondescript brown trucker cap, his face partially hidden in the shadows. He was wearing a navy blue buttoned down shirt, blue jeans and a pair of sneakers. Like a speck of dust, he blended in with his surroundings, unnoticeable and uninteresting by those around him. He was sitting with his shoulders hunched over the table, giving the impression of someone who is drinking their problems away.Hisface was tense and a muscle was ticking impatiently under his jaw. His eyes were glittering with intensity as hequietly observed the scantily-clad crowd dancing in the nightclub, his expression unreadable. The nightclub that he was in had a huge dance floor in the middle and a raised platform with
A Knight for Victory 59. Arthur is Back
It was past midnight and Victory was sitting cross-legged on her bed, lookingat her notes. She is closer to figuring out the double agent who's been working secretly with Marshall Media but she needed confirmation from both John and Jane, her private investigators. Until then, her only option is to keep her lips sealed. And besides, Arthur has yet to return so it's not like she has anyone to bounce her ideas with. She is in quite a predicament indeed. Her musings were interrupted by the buzzing of her phone, a familiar face appearing on the screen. Her face broke into a wide grin and she almost jumped with glee. "Hey, stranger." She answered, her voice sounding breathless and husky to her ears. "Where have you been?" "Hi, honey bun." Arthur's deep voice floated from the phone, causing her heart rate to spike up as warm, fuzzy feelings overtook her emotions. "Sorry for not calling sooner." His voice sounded remorseful, pained that h
A Knight for Victory 60. Kate's Connection to A. K. Media
That afternoon, Arthur was visiting his new apartment, inspecting the changes made by Samantha, his interior decorator. He stepped out of the elevator and was immediately greeted by cerulean walls, the colour that he had chosen for the foyer of the penthouse. Strolling into the living room, he surveyed the decor, his eyes trailing appreciatively over the new furniture, fittings and artwork.Samantha had just completed the finishing touches to the apartment and he wanted to make sure everything was designed according to his specifications. The empty living room is now furnished with caramel leather sofa, arranged artfully to face a feature fireplace which had been painted in white. The walls were painted in a soft buttermilk shade, creating a warm glow to the interior of the apartment. He had requested for the windows to be bare, void of curtains, to allow maximum sunlight to penetrate inside. Besides, the large terrace that encompasses the ex
A Knight for Victory 61. Victory's Reaction to Kate
Thoroughly disgusted and repulsed by Kate's unexpected move, Arthur pushed her away from him and bounded over the sofa, his long legs rushing to meet Victory who was standing shock-still in the foyer. "Honey bun?" He asked cautiously, his eyes roaming over Victory's face, uncertainty shimmering from his pale blue orbs, hesitant over what he should do next. His hands fisted at the sides of his body, he desperately wanted to touch her but was afraid that she would push him away. Victory stared coldly at Kate before her gaze trails to Arthur, her emerald green eyes glacial and filled with disdain. Her facial expression was filled with contempt, disgust reverberating in waves from her body, belying the true feelings that she felt inside. "Hello, Kate. I didn't notice you there." Her voice slithered smoothly, dismissing Kate's presence like a speck of dust, as a mere disturbance while blatantly ignoring the kiss that she had just observed between Kate and Ar
A Knight for Victory 62. Empty Nest Syndrome
And just like that, the very next day Arthur picked up Astor and Susannah from my apartment and took all their belongings with him. He was so confident that I will follow suit that he cleaned up everything in both their rooms, insisting that they won't be coming to visit me as I will be coming to stay with him soon. He even offered me to let him bring my stuff as well but I was adamant for him to wait until after the third date. No mule is as stubborn as a Victory Sinclair. We were standing at the front door of my apartment, Susannah and Astor had left with Gerald and are waiting for Arthur in the car. I stared at his pale blue eyes while he stares into mine. Neither of us backs down, for we have arrived at an impasse. Which is weird because he wants me in his bed and I also want to be in his bed. No surprises there. The only thing holding me back is my insistence at going for the third date, simply because that is what we had agreed upon.
A Knight for Victory 63. Getting Ready for the Halloween Party
Red-faced and choking on my saliva, I ran out of the living room to my bedroom, muttering some lame excuse to Faith about not feeling well. My heart was pumping wildly, interlaced with fear and disbelief. Why did I have to say that? Why does my mouth always seem to get me in trouble? Urgh! I feel like punching myself, if that is even possible. I went to lie on my bed, trying to make sense of my thinking. Strange thoughts popped up like bubbles on the beach, one after another. I gave out a frustrated sigh, trying very hard not to pull out all of my hair, thoroughly annoyed at myself. As I was drowning myself in regret, my phone suddenly beeped, a message popping up on the screen. Relieved to have something to divert my attention, I picked up my phone. Arthur: "Do you want me to accompany you tonight, honey bun?" Speak of the devil and here he is. I huffed in annoyance, pursing my lips as I consider on ignoring the
A Knight for Victory 64. A. K. Media’s Halloween Party
By the time Arthur and Victory returned to the hall three hours later, the Halloween Party have just begun. A. K. Media's immersive parties are legendary and quite rare, as they are hosted only a handful of times in a year. The last immersive event that A. K. Media hosted was the blackout luncheon at The Peninsula hotel when Victory returned to New York from Switzerland.There is a long waiting list of celebrities and social influencers clamouring for an invite to the event. The invitation list is exclusive, limited to a small number of people. Tonight, the guest list only includes 300 people. A small line can be seen at the entrance of the hall, party-goers handing over their black and gold invitation card to catwoman and supergirl manning the registration counter. This being a Halloween Party, everyone was garbed in various costumes, and that also include the staff of A. K. Media who are working tonight. A gift bag is handed to each party-g
A Knight for Victory 65. Something Brewing at Knight Enterprises
"Arthur, what do you think happened between Faith and Aaron all those years ago in high school?" Victory asked after they have left the Halloween party. Her forehead wrinkled as she tried to think of the connection between Aaron and Faith but nothing came to mind. Victory has not been a good best friend to Aaron for the past few months. Granted, she has had her hands full with adopting to her new position at A. K. Media, battling Arthur in court over the custody of Astor and now rebuilding her relationship with Arthur. And whenever she would talk to Aaron, it was always about her problems and not his. She hasnot heard a peep from Aaron about the mysterious girl who took all his clothes and left it outside the toilet and she is curious about her. It was a relief that she was able to easily find his clothes, otherwise she might have to resort to taking the table cloth from the registration counter for Aaron to use to cover his nudity.
