Twisted Fate The Deceiver's Game
Claire felt nervous sitting beside Ryan in the backseat. She didn't know the kind of person he was. Even though their wedding was arranged, she thought he was still going to demand sex.It wouldn't be out of place if he demanded it anyway. After all, it was their wedding night, and it was clear she had no choice but to accept.The driver was driving very fast, and their bodies brushed each other several times, making her shiver. It was like he would grab her any moment from now, and the stench of beer on him wasn't helping matters.Earlier, Mason and she had won the dance, and Ryan hadn't been pleased about it. After Ryan lost, he whispered in Claire’s ear that a woman is supposed to help her husband and not bring him down.Claire had been terrified and unable to utter a word when he began to laugh suddenly. Still, she couldn't tell whether he was offended or not.Many rumors had been spread about Ryan, and the entire city knew he didn't value women. Today, she was beginning a new lif

Claire woke up the next morning in a mansion. Although she had experienced wealth at its highest level in the last few days, once she opened my eyes that morning and saw the mansion in broad daylight, It was like she had gotten an immediate superior awareness.The mansion epitomized beauty, showing the inhabitants lived the best possible life. The bed alone was half the size of her former apartment, and the guest room given to her was bigger than the entirety of it.The walls were decorated with fine furniture, which probably cost thousands. Claire stood up to observe the rest of the room, and she wondered why the room needed a wardrobe when it was built with the idea of accommodating guests.Most people moving in would probably have their luggage with them, which was supposed to be more than enough.If this was a room meant for the guests that came to this house, Claire found herself wondering how large the size of the family members would be.This was a bit much for just about anyon

Claire followed because there was nothing more to do, and she had no choice. They both went In and left the billionaire to his bodyguards.“Claire, I was impressed with your performance; I didn't know you were such a talented dancer. It was very interesting to watch your battle online. Don't tell anyone, but I was rooting for you, “ she said, saying the last part in whispers.Claire smiled, embarrassed after that moment. She had been very happy and satisfied when they won because of how it made Bethany feel.It turns out that betting higher than the boys was more dangerous than it seemed. Unlike them, who were guys and didn't care about anything, Bethany was not used to losing, and she was very angry, having to give away that huge amount of money to him for free.Claire had kept a straight face throughout the dance and afterward, but she had been laughing inside as the sight had been very funny.After the dance, Bethany had eyed her and left, showing her disgust. If only they had agre

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 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

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.

“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

Twisted Fate The Final Revelation
The room was still, save for the heavy breaths of everyone present.The sound of breathing — sharp and erratic — seemed to reverberate against the walls, bouncing off the tense atmosphere that had settled like a thick fog.Ryan’s chest heaved with every breath, his fists still clenched at his sides.He was standing over Mason, his body rigid, his eyes wild with rage, but there was something else behind the anger.Fear.And the fear was growing, creeping beneath the surface like an insidious tide."Who’s behind this?" Ryan’s voice was a low growl, but there was a tremor to it now.A hesitation that hadn’t been there before. The calm, unshakable leader that he had always been was slipping, revealing the cracks in the facade. "You’re not going to get away with this, Mason. Not this time."But Mason only laughed. The sound was sharp, cruel, and mocking.A laugh that sliced through the tension, amplifying the feeling of dread in the room."You think you’ve got it all figured out?" Mason s
Twisted Fate The Betrayal
Claire’s heart dropped.Someone closer?The words echoed in her mind like a drumbeat, each thud growing louder, more insistent.She had been through so much. The violence, the betrayals, the bloodshed.But hearing this — the sharp, cold implication of it — was different. It felt like a punch to the gut, a strike to the very core of her being.Ryan’s hand, still clutching Mason’s collar, tightened with a force that seemed to rattle the very air around them.His face was a mask of rage, but Claire could see it—the briefest flicker in his eyes.A shadow.Fear.He wasn’t just angry. He was terrified.It wasn’t the same fury that had burned through him when Mason had first walked into the room.This was something deeper, something that went beyond simple hatred.Mason was watching them both with a smile that seemed to grow with each passing second, basking in the tension he had created.The air in the room grew thick, suffocating, like smoke from a fire that no one could put out.No one sp
Twisted Fate Unraveling the Past
The battle was far from over.Claire’s hand was still trembling as she lowered the gun, the weight of it foreign and heavy in her grip.Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs, each beat a painful reminder that she was still alive.The attacker she had shot lay sprawled at her feet, blood pooling beneath him, staining the pristine marble floor a deep, angry red.The sharp, metallic scent of gunpowder clung to the air, thick and suffocating.But Claire couldn’t focus on any of it.Not yet.Because something was wrong.Something was missing.---Ryan moved like a force of nature through the chaos, swift and brutal. His men—loyal, lethal—cleared the room with ruthless precision, every movement efficient, every shot deadly.The leader who had taunted them earlier now lay crumpled near the fireplace, a bullet hole in his chest.And yet... the gnawing sensation in Claire’s gut only grew.This wasn’t just a random attack.It wasn’t even a revenge strike.It was a message.Her eyes darted
Twisted Fate The Silent War Begins
Claire woke up the next morning, the remnants of a restless night clinging to her.The storm clouds still hung heavy in the sky, and there was no sign of the sun. It seemed fitting, considering the tension she felt, coiling tighter around her chest with every passing hour.She glanced over at Ryan, still sleeping soundly beside her.It was a rare sight.The lines on his face were softer now, his usual fierce demeanor replaced by a quiet vulnerability. For a moment, Claire just watched him, letting herself breathe a little easier. But the weight of their situation pressed down on her, pulling her thoughts back to reality. They didn’t have the luxury of peace for long.Her phone buzzed beside her on the nightstand.Claire’s heart stopped.It was a message from an unknown number.She reached for the phone, her fingers trembling as she unlocked the screen.The message was short, but the words hit her like a punch in the gut.> "You won’t see it coming. Be careful."Claire’s stomach flippe
Twisted Fate Secrets That Refused to Stay Buried
The following morning felt colder than usual, even though the sun was out.Light streamed through the windows, painting long golden stripes across the floor, but it didn’t chase away the chill.Claire woke with a start, reaching instinctively for the warmth beside her.But Ryan’s side of the bed was empty.The sheets were cold, as if he’d been gone for hours.Panic gripped her chest like a vice.Had something happened overnight?Had he gone after those men alone?Throwing off the covers, she scrambled into a hoodie and leggings, her pulse racing painfully.She flew down the grand staircase, barefoot, heart hammering against her ribs.The estate was eerily silent.As if the walls themselves were holding their breath.---In the kitchen, Claire found Mrs. Dalca sitting at the long table, sipping coffee from a delicate porcelain cup.The older woman barely glanced up from the newspaper spread in front of her."Where’s Ryan?" Claire gasped, breathless from running.Without missing a beat,
Twisted Fate The Calm Before the next Storm
Claire sat by the window that night, wrapped in a blanket Ryan had placed around her shoulders.The rain had softened to a drizzle, tapping softly against the glass.But inside her chest, a full storm still raged.Ryan sat across from her, watching her in silence, a glass of whiskey untouched in his hand.Neither of them spoke for a long time.Words felt too small for what they had been through.Finally, Claire broke the silence."Who were they?" she asked, her voice still hoarse from screaming earlier.Ryan leaned back, jaw tight."Enemies," he said simply.Claire let out a shaky breath."But why me? Why not come straight for you?"Ryan’s eyes darkened."Because they know how to hurt me."The confession sat between them, heavy and raw.Claire tightened the blanket around herself.For so long, she had thought she was just a pawn—an outsider trapped in a game too big for her.Now, it was terrifying to realize she mattered more than she thought.That she was the leverage.---Ryan stood
Twisted Fate Storm Brewing
Morning came too quickly.The world outside the window was still gray and heavy with rain, but the house stirred with a new kind of tension—a waiting, stretching unease that pulled at every corner.Claire awoke in a cold bed.Ryan was gone.For one heart-stopping moment, fear clutched her chest.Was it all a dream?Had he abandoned her?Her fingers clutched at the sheets, her breath quick and shallow.Then she saw it—the note folded neatly on the nightstand.Stay inside. Don’t open the door for anyone but me. — RClaire snatched the note, reading it twice.The neat, slashing handwriting steadied her trembling fingers slightly, but only just.Something was wrong.Terribly wrong.She could feel it humming under her skin like electricity before a lightning strike.The house—usually so loud, so full of life—felt muted, as if it were holding its breath.---Downstairs, the estate was alive with hurried footsteps and hushed whispers.Guards moved like shadows through the halls, their faces
Twisted Fate The Aftermath of Fire
The halls of the Gold estate were eerily silent, every shadow seeming heavier, every creak of the old wood floors louder than usual.Only the low, steady hum of rain against the windows kept them company, a soft percussion that filled the empty spaces where words couldn’t.Claire sat curled in an armchair in the guest room, a thick blanket wrapped around her like armor.Her wet clothes had been stripped away by kind, nameless hands, and a fresh set of soft cotton pajamas clung to her skin.A cup of tea steamed on the nightstand nearby, untouched, forgotten.She stared blankly at the wall, not really seeing it.Her body was there.Her mind...Her mind was still back in the woods.Still feeling the slick weight of the gun in her shaking hand.Still seeing the twisted snarl on Mason’s face.Still hearing the deafening crack of the gunshot.She should have felt victorious.Strong.Triumphant.Instead, she just felt—Tired.So, so tired.Her bones ached with it.Her soul sagged beneath it.
Twisted Fate Blood in the Rain
Ryan stood over Mason, the gun steady in his hand, smoke still curling from the barrel.Claire lay in the mud at his feet, coughing, gasping for breath.The sight of her—broken, bruised, terrified—unleashed something wild and primal inside him."Step away from her," Ryan said, his voice low and deadly.Mason wiped blood from his mouth, a twisted smile spreading across his face."Well, well," he rasped."The prince himself comes to rescue his little whore."Ryan’s finger twitched on the trigger.It would be so easy.One more shot.End it.But Ryan held back.Barely."You don't deserve to say her name," Ryan said, his voice vibrating with rage.Mason laughed, a wet, ugly sound."Come on, Ryan. We both know you don't really care about her," Mason sneered."She's just another pawn. Another puppet for your twisted games."Ryan stepped forward, gun raised."You don't know a damn thing," he said, eyes blazing.Mason's smile faded.For the first time, there was fear in his eyes.Good.---C
