Knight Sisters
"They're terminating our contract?!" Natasha yelled as she read the words on the document in front of her. Raphael sat quietly beside her with a copy of the contract in hand. Then he glanced up at the men seated opposite them. "The time to end our contract is yet to elapse. Ending it all of a sudden is something you can't do." He said, frowning slightly. "The Conglomerate is really sorry and we will compensate you in any way possible to show our deep regret for this." One of the men said and Natasha scoffed. "The only thing you can do for me right now is not to terminate this contract! Do you have any idea what Queenie will do to me once she finds out I've been deserted!" Natasha yelled but Raphael held her hand, cutting her short. The men got onto their feet and bowed slightly to them. "We really are sorry but there is nothing that can be done about it. It's your signature on that document or we might as well leave you with nothing. Our time here is limited, so we are calling it

A Surprise
Natasha found her way to Gandios Pub. She had a reservation for a private room, so the moment she arrived, she headed up to it. One of the waiters who had seen her come in contacted the manager of the pub who rushed out to meet her. Fortunately for him, she was just getting out of that elevator when he showed up. "Ms. Knight." He called with a smile and Natasha looked up at him. He was used to her stoic face, so he deepened his smile and walked right beside her as she headed to her private room. "I had no idea you would be coming but when I got informed, I immediately assigned some people to clean up your room. Please, can you wait by the bar until it's ready?" The manager asked the question quietly expecting Natasha to lose her patience. "Okay." She said, agreeing to his words much to his surprise. "I'll wait by the bar but don't take too long." The manager nodded fervently and walked away quickly while Natasha walked with large strides towards an empty seat in the counter. Unl

You Two Were Tight Friends
6:15pm, Subway station In the sea of people moving to and fro, Raphael sat quietly on the long bench, perfectly disguised with a hoodie. He glanced at his time numerous times with a light frown before someone sat next to him. He glanced at her and scoffed. "You invite someone for a meeting and you turn up late? Seriously?" Queenie didn't turn to look at him, instead, she dipped her hand into the bag which she hung across her body and took out a file.She placed it on the space between them and the man slowly reached for it. When he read the first piece of the document, he looked up worriedly. He opened his mouth several times like he wanted to say something but closed it each and every time. Queenie didn't need to look at him to know he was in a dilemma. Unlike him who looked flustered, the way she sat suggested she was a nonchalant girlfriend who was breaking up with her fiance. "How did you get this?" He finally asked and Queenie chuckled. "Sometimes you ask questions like a

There's Something You Have To See
Queenie stayed silent for a long time. "What exactly happened to my memories?""Your father hypnotized them out of you. Most of them are back but others might not return unless you find yourself in the same decision as that memory." "Mommy?" Queenie heard and looked towards the stairs to see Aaron staring at her. She got up immediately and walked to him. "How are you, baby?" "I'm fine, mommy." The boy replied and walked down the stairs. When he got to her, he asked, "Where are we going?" "Home. Daddy and uncles are waiting for us there." Queenie said, extending her hand to touch his face. Aaron said nothing else but she couldn't help feeling he had something else to say. "Do you want to tell me anything, baby?" The boy hesitated for a while but ended up shaking his head. Aster and Aaron soon ran into that living room. Queenie glanced at Langdon with a small smile. "We will be back this weekend." The man nodded and watched them walk out. Queenie fastened the three of them to t

Devil Incarnates
Queenie ushered her children into the house and walked into the limousine again with Pierce. "I found out that your mother worked in the old laboratory building that was bought at the auction by Benjamin Moore." The man said, taking out his phone to show her some pictures. "In other words, there should be something of hers, a document or anything which should point us to where she kept the rest of the medicines." Queenie spoke but the man shook his head. "I thought the same but after a second thought, there's no way she'd keep it in the Knight's Mansion in Maile, nor will she leave it in a place like the laboratory. If she wanted you to find it, then she must've left some clues somewhere." Queenie rubbed her forehead slightly. "Why didn't she just go into hiding until I grew up and save me the exhaustion of finding what she hid." "Hiding would've made a lot of things worse. Your mother knew that dying was the only way to keep you and your brothers safe. If she was still alive so

Ripping Of His Perfect Disguise
Queenie and Pierce stopped in front of the limousine at the back of Velon's house. "Do you think they'd take the bait?" Pierce asked and Queenie shrugged. "They might." She replied. After Pierce had stepped in front of her, completely shielding her from the view of Anthony and Antoinette, she knew he wanted her to do something. The twins didn't look like people who would go back on their words. So he knew they really wanted the necklace. Queenie had made use of the little time they had to message Lucas to bring a car to the back of Velon's house and told the driver in the other limousine to leave after planting the grenade. Then she opened up the necklace and took a tiny piece of paper which had been folded to look smaller than her pinky finger. "I didn't see anyone enter the car." Lucas, who had been watching the limousine the whole time, said, and brought down his stethoscope, "They didn't fall for your bait." The duo got into the car and the driver who had driven the other

I've Found Alicia
For their date, Benjamin had chosen a five-star hotel and they had spent the next thirty minutes talking about things that sounded irrelevant but funny. After they ran out of content, the duo went silent. Suddenly, Benjamin glanced up at her and asked, "So, how was your childhood? I mean, I heard a lot about you and your sister." Natasha blinked repeatedly before nodding. "She was a star. Practically the best in everything and for a reason I hated her so much." She replied and the man chuckled. "A lot of people argue that you are simply jealous of your younger sister. They even say you've tried to kill her once when she was still pregnant." The man said in a whisper. Natasha paused and kept her eyes on the plate. Then she suddenly looked up at him. "I'm just kidding." Benjamin suddenly said and laughed. He dropped his cutleries and reached for his glass of wine, "I don't think your hatred for your sister can make you do such a thing. It's just too silly." Natasha nodded stiffly

I Have To Meet A Female Friend Of Mine
The atmosphere was ambiguous as Queenie hummed while pacing around in the kitchen. At exactly 7:10 am, Aster and her brothers walked down the stairs with the help of Pierce. It wasn't the first time she was seeing them in their uniforms, but it was her first time admiring the beautiful pattern which the school had used. "What would you say about mommy dropping you off at school today?" Queenie asked them as she served them their breakfast. She moved towards Aster and Aaron to feed them while Pierce fed Adrian. "How was your sleep, darling?" Queenie asked Aaron as soon as she stopped in front of him. The boy hesitated for a while before he answered, "It was fine." She found his behavior strange but she didn't probe further. She had her daughter who would tell her what she wanted to know. All she needed to do was get Aster out of Aaron's sight before the questioning. "I thought I smelt something nice?" Lawrence asked, poking his head into the kitchen. His eyes settled into the f

People Understand Fear
In the Director's office in Dalton Elementary School,.a couple sat opposite the nonchalant Queenie. Aaron sat on Queenie's lap as she massaged his hair gently while Caleb sat next to his parents. "Mrs. Verlice, I do not have any memory of my son doing a thing like that. And raising a complaint because of what your younger kid said doesn't sound like a good thing to me." Michelle Green said. She was a renowned woman in all of Hiltonia. She came from a reputable family no worse than the Verlice. She also got married to someone from a prestigious family, Owen Garfield. Frankly speaking, she felt she was in the same position with Queenie in the commercial world. Queenie stopped touching Aaron's hair for a brief moment before asking, "In other words, are you trying to say my younger son is lying?" "Yes." Michelle replied and Queenie glanced up at her. The woman's frightening eyes sent chills down Michelle's spine and she flinched before she knew it. "And that sounds like you're cal

I Can Be A Girl If Mommy Wants Me To
Along her way back, Queenie's phone rang. It was an unknown number but she answered anyway. "Queenie Knight on the line, who is this?" She spoke first, her eyes fluctuating between the phone and the road. "Queenie." A trembling voice called from the other end and Queenie narrowed her eyes slightly, "Queenie, is it really you?" "Is that disappointment I hear in your voice?" Queenie asked, the corners of her mouth curling up in mockery. Floral scoffed. She often had the urge to hit this niece of hers. The latter was just fortunate she was the only niece the Knights had. "I heard it was your idea to keep your father's body in the house so you can send his killers to the grave with him. Unfortunately, your father's family has refused to keep him any longer and demands that he is to be buried this week." Floral went straight to the reason she called. There was nothing she could do to convince them to keep the body any longer but they refused to listen to her. In the end, she had to g
