Baroness Goes On Strike Ch 1 Novels & Stories

she said, “it’s just a lot to take in. I haven’t traveled in these circles before. It’s a little… disorienting.” “Stick close to me, I’ll guide you through safely,” he said, looking down at her and giving her a reassuring smile. In the midst of the chaos, he still took her breath away. Being in this place with such a gorgeous, wealthy man felt unreal. She feared she might just be waiting for the other shoe to fall. They reached the bar and Angelo ordered two glasses of champagne for them. He handed one to her. “M’lady,” he said, “to our first official society coming out appearance.” He clinked her glass.

Adora kept smiling, her expression icy as ever. "Exactly. And where do you get the nerve to ask me for money?" "You…" Margaret’s face turned an ugly shade of red, mortified and furious. She looked ready to lunge at her. But one foot was still in a stiletto while the other was bare. As she stepped forward, she lost her balance and stumbled, pitching straight toward the floor. "Ah! Mrs. Bennett…" "Careful!" Lilian and two nearby assistants gasped, rushing to grab her, but they were a beat too late.

I can taste blood in my mouth, but I refuse to scream. Baron chuckles softly. “Oh, and I made a few changes to her. I thought you’d appreciate my improvements. You always liked a challenge, didn’t you? She’s quite the one now.” His laughter echoes in my head, cruel and hollow. Every word fuels my rage. I dig deep inside myself, searching for the strength I thought was gone. Then something snaps. My hand bursts free, and the shadows answer my call once more. They surge forward, slamming into Baron with the force of a storm. The blast throws him back hard, piercing through his chest. He crashes into the ground several meters away.

Agrezor whispered enough for me to hear. Slowly, I faced her and was shocked to see her next to me. Anger became visible in her soft mien. "Stay away from my family," she enunciated each word harshly like gunshots to my chest. "Monday will be your last day at work. Pack up your things and never come back. You're no longer welcome at Hasse." "Sorry, Ma'am, but I won't do what you tell me—"

Mr Baron asks, checking me out from head to toe with lust in his eyes. “I am Miss Isa,” I say primly, trying not to sound hostile because I don’t like the way he is looking at me. “If I had known such a pretty lady was waiting for me, I would have come sooner,” Mr Baron says smirking. “I think we should get back to the reason we are here,” Ismail interrupts in a stern voice. “Aha! We should,” Mr Baron says and tries to touch my hand on the table. But before I can pull my hand away, Ismail does the unthinkable.

My mother kept calling me while I was on a stakeout. I had been hiding inside a van, watching the suspects for six hours. Then my phone screen suddenly lit up. The ringtone shattered the silence. I panicked and tried to put it on silent, but I accidentally hit the speaker button. A faint sound came from the phone. I felt terribly guilty and embarrassed. If we alerted the suspect, our entire operation tonight would be ruined. Captain Derek glanced over and saw that it was my mother calling. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't panic. Go take the call. Ethan and I will keep watch." Ethan frowned and quietly warned me, "Be careful. Don't give away our position." I gave them a grateful look bef

I could feel the tremble in my bones now, a cold, bitter tremble that settled deep, maybe I should’nt have stormed out, I could have been to my room, or my study, but I fucking left. When I got to the house, I didn’t even turn off the engine. I threw the door open and bolted inside. “Penelope,” I called out, but she was exactly where I left her, seated on the floor. Bolt, who was lying at her feet, sprang up, running to me, trying to climb on me, wagging his tail. “Alfred, come handle Bolt,” I called out, walking towards her, and the only part of her that moved was her chest rising and falling like she was holding back a scream.

she declared solemnly and The Baron's finger hooked in the air just as he was about to begin on the next soldier. Olive avoided the looks of her people and steadied her glower on The Baron. His grin was the worst thing to ever exist. “Great. Here I was thinking my tactic wasn't working on you and that I'd better suck them dry before your eyes. I should have done that first even. But you see, I am well fed.” Olive hid her grimace at that prospect. “Strip,” The Baron ordered, his voice harsh and dark. Olive rose to her feet.

“Now go doll yourself up and put them on. The car will be there in an hour.” “I know you’re used to people doing exactly what you say, Baron,” I interrupt. “But I don’t work for you, and I don’t know what you’re up to, but I’m not putting anything on and you can’t make me.” “Wow, what a strong woman,” he replies mockingly. “You really think you’re tough, don’t you?” “I’m not doing it.” “You are doing it,” he growls. “Or I’ll kick you and your mother out of the house before the day’s over. How would you like living on the streets?”

But she had never resented her. Callum gave a chilling giggle. “Oh, really? You’re telling me the little lady of the Carrington family, cast off to live among strangers and bullied with no one to help—you never held a grudge? Come on, you’re lying. Aren’t you, Miss Carrington?” ***
