"Aunt Lucy, I-I will take her to the room."Without waiting for Aunt Lucy to respond he carried her princess style and walked inside the house quickly. He was flustered thus he didn't notice Aunt Lucy taking pictures in her phone with a greedy but gentle expression. She looked at the pictures she had taken and after ascertaining that the pictures looks Ok she sent it to two people. After doing that Aunt Lucy walked away towards the servant quarters while humming a tune.Victor carried Veronica to the room where she stayed when she just came here or rather say when she was kidnapped and was taken here.Although the room was not used after she emptied it, it was still clean as Aunt Lucy would from time to time ask the maids to clean it. The room looked like it was cleaned just now.Victor put Veronica on the bed and gently pushed a pillow under her head and covered her with a warm blanket. After turning on the room heater and switching off the lights he was about to exit the room when
In the middle of the night two phones dinged. Amber looked at the pic sent by Aunt Lucy and smiled.-Plan accomplished!-She put down the phone and went back to sleep. It was her plan. First she made Veronica drunk then she tipped a waiter and booked all the empty rooms in the hotel so that Victor couldn't find any room for Veronica and third step was she made a call at home telling her father to come pick her up as she was drunk, can't drive but she miss them and wanna go home tonight.Aunt Lucy was her partner in crime as she gave all the maids and servants an early off today. It wasn't a high profile plan but rather a simple one but Victor still got played in the hands of these two women. It wasn't that Victor was not smart, it was just that he never would have thought that the tricks Amber used on Lucas can also be used on him by her.He was overconfident in himself and underestimated Amber and thus was caught off guard by her. He still didn't know that he got played by his own
"Marriage agreement??"Veronica asked in disbelief."Incase you decline your responsibility towards me." Victor replied."Wasn't it that the guy has to be the one to take responsibility in such cases? Why am I the one taking responsibility here? And I don't even know till now what I have done to you to take responsibility.""What do you think you did?"Victor said in a mocking tone."........"Veronica really wanted to smack his face."I am not signing it unless you tell me what really happened."Victor looked at Veronica who looked nervous, confused, angry and frustrated."I knew it. You never wanted to take responsibility. Look how you have refused to sign these papers. You were just putting words and weren't planning on taking action. If not you would have signed the paper without saying anything. Now you are making excuses.""I just want to know what really happened last nig-""Excuses! Excuses! These are just Excuses. You wait here. I am gonna let everyone know what kind of person
"Now I don't wanna know."Veronica retorted.Her eyes were filled with firmness. She doesn't want to get more embarrassed than she already was.Before Victor could start anything else she decided to escape." I need to get ready for the training so I will be leaving first."Saying that Veronica scurried away immediately.Victor watched Veronica leaving with amusement and a smile appeared on his lips.But as soon as she left his eyes his smile also vanished and his face became cold.He looked at the signed papers. He doesn't love her, at least not yet. He had his reasons for signing this marriage agreement with her but love is not one of them. But he is attracted towards her though and there is something stopping him from converting this attraction into love.His emotions were complex as he looked at the signature on the papers. The phone in his pants vibrated. He took it out and after checking the caller id he accepted the call and only said four words."Come to my office."After say
Sandra's POVFrom where I am standing now I saw a road in front of me and mountains. The view in front of me feels unreal. It's breathtakingly beautiful with the sun peeking from behind the mountains. The sun will soon be completely hidden behind the mountains and darkness will engulf half of the world.The sky has turned orange.The birds are returning back to their shelter, to their babies. I don't know how I came here or what I am doing here but I am happy to be here. The view is providing peace to my mind. The surrounding was peaceful with the chirping sounds of birds returning to their homes, the pleasant breeze and the dim brightness. While I was still enjoying the landscape in front of me I heard the sound of an engine raving and caught sight of a red car coming from my right. I can make out that three people are sitting in the car, two in the back seat: a man and a woman and the third one is the driver itself. The male and female in the backseat were talking with big smiles o
Sandra's POV Nooooooo!!I screamed in my mind.I didn't have more strength to fight again, so I stopped struggling. When the man noticed I had stopped struggling long ago he loosened his grip on my mouth and body. My body fell on the ground. The men carried me to the car. The other two men soon caught up to the third one. They put me in the trunk. While I was losing my consciousness I heard the men talking about the Scorpion and Phoenix mafia fight.Hearing the name of the mafia I lost all my hopes of ever escaping in my life. Tears started to fall from my eyes . And just like that darkness engulfed me .Victor's POV"He is caught and is tied in the torture room."My man was reporting about the progress when Amber came.I signaled him to shut up and leave.Amber looked at the man leaving and then looked at me and gave a cheeky grin.Amber is ranting about a girl in her class who is jealous of her. She is the daughter of my father's assistant uncle Stephan. My mother and Amber's moth
Sandra's POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I did was to check myself. I was relieved to see that I am still properly dressed, that too in my own clothes and there is no sign of molestation or rape. I released a sigh of relief. I noticed that my cellphone which was in my pants pocket is missing .There is no sign of my portfolio. But that didn't concern me as much. I was wearing black office pants, white crepe blouse and a black coat over the blouse. None of my clothes are missing. My emerald ring, gold tops are still there.My mother gifted me the ring on my eighteenth birthday and the gold tops on my 25th last year. Nothing except my phone is missing. It means that the kidnappers didn't want money.It only means that the purpose of my kidnapping is neither money nor for molestation, they might have some other purpose. Maybe they kidnapped me to get some ransom money.Suddenly I remembered the names of Scorpion and Phoenix mafia which I heard just before passing out. My mind started
Victor's POVI entered my room and went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.After the bath I changed to a new set of clothes. I wore an all black office attire.The table clock placed beside my bed is showing it's 3:30 pm. I have a meeting with the managers of a few of my clubs and bars at 4:30 pm. I have an hour to go there.Some little problems are encountered by these bars and clubs one after the other in the previous two or three weeks.I can tell that it is the doing of the Scorpion gang .I went out of the front door of my house. I haven't lived with my parents since I started taking care of the business after my dad retired. I live alone here. I bought this place just after six months of working. The driver is already ready there with the car. Ethan is standing along with the driver. Ethan and Lucas have both worked with me since my first day at work.They both have been trained alongside me from childhood. Lucas and I are of the same age while Ethan is two years younger
