Zachary didn’t turn once. Clarissa had no idea what she was going to do. Archer’s hands on her arm made her acknowledge his presence. A couple of people were taking their seats, but she stood rooted to the spot.“Who are you calling, dear?” He queried softly.She couldn’t respond. Instead, she moved slightly away from him. “Zachary!” She called once more.It may have been madness to make him know she was right there, but it was definitely better than playing chase with him. She could feel Archer’s hand on the small of her back.“Clarissa, tell me what the matter is. You don’t know anyone here,” Archer said with worry.She turned to him slightly, her throat tight. “There is someone I know. When he comes just act normal and stay out of the conversation. Sit down, Archer,” she said stiffly.He didn’t obey her but stood by her side instead. The least Clarissa wanted was to drag Archer into her problems. She had come earlier to ask for his help, but she hadn’t dared to stick to that reque

“Come,” Archer said softly.Clarissa looked at him slightly. She felt so exposed to the drama that just happened. Normally, she would slink away, but Archer was literally leading her back to her seat, and she didn’t heart to refuse him.People were also losing attention to them, and it made her sigh slightly in relief. Clarissa hated being the center of attention, no matter what happened. She didn’t have the heart to tell Archer this though.As she collected a glass of water from Archer, she realized that it was ok for her to stay here too. It was better than being close to danger. Zachary was still out there, and God knows.“Relax,” Archer said softly.She looked at him and felt so much worse. “I’m sorry that I’m ruining your night,” she said quietly.He shook his head slightly. “Don’t be ridiculous. Having you here with me has made this night much better. Don’t think about anything. I’m here to protect you to the best of my abilities,” he said softly.Clarissa smiled slightly at him

The maid or servant unlocked the glass and brought out the diamond. Archer took it from her and turned to face Clarissa whose face was red as the whole of the partygoers were looking at her in amazement.“Do I have the honor of wearing this on you,” he asked softly.She swallowed. “Yes.”He maneuvered around, and slowly, she lifted her hair. His fingers brushed her neck ever so slightly, shooting waves of pleasure through her. She didn’t understand what was going on. “Done,” he said suddenly.His fingers leaving her neck made her feel so empty. She wanted him to touch her even more.“Thank you.”He smiled. “You’re beautiful, and it’s beautiful.”She blushed red. Without a word, he grabbed her hand and led her out of the party and towards their car.Unknown to them, Zachary’s men were at the party and knew what was going on. He informed his boss at once about the whole thing.*****Outside, the wind was brutal. Clarissa leaned closer to Archer in a bid to take his warmth. At first, he

“I think they are bandits. Oh, my goodness! Do you think they found out about the diamond, and want to take it?” She asked in shock.As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she removed the necklace immediately and placed it in Archer’s hands. He looked at her then. He was about to say something, but his eyes diverted again.The lights from the other car were down, but Clarissa could clearly see four men move toward them. They were holding guns. Then, as they advanced, she saw another man come down from the car.The first four took their position in front of Archer’s car, and then, the other man moved through their midst.Zachary?Clarissa couldn’t believe that her brother was standing right in front of them with guns cocked. She knew he was dangerous, but this was definitely the limit to it all.Taking a deep breath, she decided that the best thing they could do was talk to him and this madness would stop. She looked at Archer and could see he was seething.“I’m so sorry that I dragg

“What the fuck!” He said in front.And, almost at once, he turned everywhere, cocking the gun everywhere and looking for who to kill. Clarissa was shocked at it all, but she couldn’t help the smile that touched her lips. Alpha Archer was not dead.Zachary kept cocking the gun in almost every direction. And, when they thought that things wouldn’t get creepier. A howl sounded, then another in quick succession.The night seemed to have taken a drastic turn. Clarissa knew it was Archer. She knew it without being told twice. This night was the longest night of her life, but somehow she liked it was happening this way.She needed Zachary to get out of her life for good, and maybe this would be a way for it to happen. Knowing that Archer was ok gave her more strength than she could have possibly put into words.“What the fuck is going on?” Zachary shouted.Beneath it, she tasted fear.At that exact moment, the lights that shone from the car went off, and the only light in the night was the s

“Come out sore loser!” Zachary screamed for the hundredth time into the cold.He jerked Clarissa forward till he was standing so close to his vehicle. The only surviving man stood with his gun raised. Clarissa thought the man was an idiot. He was risking his life for someone as morally deprived as her brother.“I said come out!” Zachary screamed once more.Clarissa panted. “Just let me go, Zachary. This isn’t right. You know it. Do the right thing,” she pleaded and earned a smack across the cheeks.“Which part do you not get? I told you to shut up. If I hear one more word from you, then you will wish we weren’t related to each other,” Zachary snapped angrily.Clarissa swallowed hard. The blood in her mouth was bobbling at this time. She wanted nothing more, but to spit it out. But, she couldn’t do even that, for fear. If she made one wrong move, there was no telling what Zachary would do. It was better to be safe than sorry.“I said come out! You dumb fucks, step out of the shadows!”
Twisted Fates FORTY-FIVE
Clarissa stared in horror as Zachary tossed the necklace up like it were a game of throws. She had no idea what this man was going to do to her, and that scared her so much. “Boss,” someone said behind her.Clarissa jumped in shock and turned back to look at two men in black. They had been hiding in the car since? But, how? Didn’t they feel the need to rescue their partners?Nothing was making sense at all.“What are you thinking, little butterfly?” One of them asked.Before she could respond, she was grabbed roughly from her seat and pulled toward the back of the car.“Let go of me,” she cried.They held her down. “It’s not our duty to fight those bastards. We don’t fight, we sell young girls like you to the market,” they explained softly.Clarissa looked from one to the other in horror. She turned back to her brother, who was still playing with the necklace.“What do they mean by that?” She screamed at him.He shrugged. “Don’t shout. What did you expect? Those bastards you have han

Clarissa sighed in frustration. She wanted to live. She wanted to see Archer for one last time. The urge was intense. It snuffed her senses and made her restless. She tried to move, but at the same time, Zachary turned his face toward her. She could see the cuts on his forehead, which made her gag. It was almost like a deep gash. But, what frightened her the most was that she was trapped, and he wasn’t about to let her go so easily.She tried harder to get herself free but failed.“Stop trying. You’re hurt. I will get us out of here,” he said softly.She shook her head fiercely, causing her head to spin so hard. “You won’t do that. I won’t let you get to me, because this is all your fault. What was the need to do all these?” She cried.Zachary grunted as he tried to bring his legs out from the under-seat, but he was trapped. He couldn’t move an inch. Clarissa could hear his heartbeat surprisingly. She knew then, that he was afraid, but she didn’t care. She only wished she could get o
