LOGINThe man’s question fell on deaf ears as he continuously heard the heavy and slow footsteps grow louder and louder.“Please,” He swallowed in fear, “I beg of you, don’t kill me.”And just when he didn’t expect it, the footsteps stopped.His breathing became heavy; he didn’t know what was happening, but could only pray that he wasn’t killed.“This man is human.” The man jerked at the sound of Brynn’s fierce voice.“It appears so, master,” Luke said.“He doesn’t look like one who could wield a knife to arm,” Brynn crossed his arms backwards, watching the man shiver in fear.“I didn’t arm anyone, sir, I swear.” The man begged.Brynn sighed, “I know. I apologize for the ill treatment.”Brynn turned to Luke, “See to it that the man gets back safely, and enough compensation for the damages.”“Yes, master.”The man became surprised; he wasn’t physically beaten, and he was about to get compensation? He kept quiet, not knowing whether to thank the kidnapper or not.“I have been played,” Brynn a
“Have them all taken in for questioning.” Phil sounded as if the crowd seemed to be thrown into a frenzy.Some of the affected parties began to fear for their lives, as they contemplated begging him, knowing that he wasn’t going to change his mind.“Master,” Aurora’s earlier challenger cried out, falling on his knees. “I… I can explain.”“Do that to the authorities.” Phil shot coldly, turning against him and facing Aurora.“Please, I beg of you.” The man lay on the ground, while other affected parties joined.It started to become rowdy and noisy, which wasn’t fit for a work environment.Phil, annoyed by the noise, turned sharply to the secretary, “Get the guards to bundle everyone of them before the police arrive.”“Yes, master.”Aurora watched in shock as the knight in shining armour she knew looked so cold and so different in her sight right now.She had never seen him in this light before, and before she knew it, men stormed the boardroom, mercilessly taking the people out, in twos
“Take a good look at the sheets in your hand,” Aurora’s voice rang clear. “These are the documents you’ve given us. Now compare them to what’s on the screen. You’ll notice,” she pointed at the screen, “that these red marks show the discrepancies in your submission. What you see doesn’t match what’s in the paper you’re holding.”The room was silent for a moment, but the opponents began murmuring among themselves. One man who seemed clearly flustered stood up, attempting to challenge her.“This is absurd,” he snapped, waving his sheet of paper. “These errors could just be... formatting issues. You can’t seriously expect us to believe this is deliberate.”Elena slowly sat upright, wanting to take over from Aurora, but Aurora wasn’t going to make Elena feel she wasn’t good enough to handle it.She did the findings and had mastered the backing of her claims and evidence when she was preparing to bring them to Elena. So, explaining wasn’t an issue for her.Aurora’s eyes narrowed as she rais
Aurora paced about nervously in the restroom. She blew into her sweaty palms as she stood and stared into the standing mirror.She had taken a big decision without even thinking about it.‘I know I can do this.’ She thought.But doubt crept in, “Can I?” She asked, but her reflection stared back at her in response.What was she even thinking? That such a job would come without any risks?Even though she really wanted it, it still shouldn’t be at the detriment of her safety.She hesitated.At that moment, she heard something,‘Do you know what’s worse?’Her voice, sounding very low, came upon her as a reminder as she looked at her reflection.“The feeling of regret.” She said with assurance.And that was all she needed to put herself together.She smiled, “Yes, I can do this.” Adjusted her clothes and stepped out, ready to face the world.Aurora swallowed nervously behind Elena as the door to the boardroom opened.The room before her was grand, with a large TV on one wall, a round table
Theodore’s heart pounded as he glared at the entrance; his fists were clenched tightly.His emotions were a burst of anger, frustration, and guilt, and he fought to contain them. His throat tightened with the weight of everything he wanted to say to his mother, but he feared the consequences.His gaze softened as he looked back at Moira, her broken, battered body lying helplessly in front of him. Her swollen eyes, busted lips, and the bruises and broken bones told the story of her torture.Moira’s weak murmurs only made Theodore’s guilt grow, as he wasn’t there in time to stop this.Bianca, totally disgusted at the gestures of her son, angrily turned and left.Quickly, Theodore pulled out his phone.“I need squad G to the mansion’s prison ASAP, for a secret extraction. Get the vehicle ready and call the doctor. Most importantly, the master must not know about any of this. Also, get the S.C.S. for clean-up immediately.”“Stay with me, Moira,” He softly whispered, “Help is on the way.”
Bianca was in her room, sipping on her tea, when Theodore barged in.“Son?” She raised an eyebrow, “I could’ve been naked.”“Where’s the butler, mother?” Theodore’s voice was cold, and his eyes, stern as he stood tall in front of his mother.“And why would I know?” Bianca sounded detached.“I’m not dumb, mum.”“You aren’t?” She smiled mockingly, “Then why ask me something so foolish?”“You’ve done something to her, haven’t you?”“You think I don't know how to put someone in their place? Since I couldn’t get to her nitwit directly, I found another way.” She smirked and looked at Theodore. “Smart, isn’t it?”Theodore hesitated.“Maybe it’s time to actually start warming up to Aurora,” Bianca shot a look at Theodore as he continued, “She isn’t bad at all, if you get to know her.”“I forbid it.” She sounded coldly,Bianca’s eyes narrowed as she stood slowly, towering over him. “What’s happening to you, Theodore? Have you been bewitched into standing up against your own mother?”He glared
