I kicked and struggled, but the arms that grabbed me and dragged me further were really strong arms, and when I realized that struggling only made his grip tighter, causing my bones to hurt, I decided to just let him lead me instead.After all, what use are my kicks and struggles? I have no idea where I am, or how far we have gone into the dungeon, so if they would just kill me like a chicken, I better not waste my strength fighting it.A horrid thought flashed through my head: what if this is not the place I showed the cab man? My whole body shivered in fear, and he knew that where he had taken me was very dangerous, that is why he did not spare a second before driving off in mad speed.The laughter and banters I was hearing had stopped, and a pounding headache sprang up in its place.He opened a door and shoved me inside. I fell, but was lucky enough not to have hit my head on any hard object. He picked me up again and placed me on a chair before removing the mask they used in cover

I arrived home in a taxi, because school had closed, and well, as expected, my driver was nowhere to be seen. I did not think of the consequences of my actions until I entered the living room and met Logan in a rage. “Where the fuck have you been?!” Logan thundered. I know I have seen him pissed of a couple of times already, but to see and hear him sound this enraged really scared the living daylight out of me. My driver stood meekly by the side, like a child who has been scolded severely for spilling a glass of milk at a coffee shop. I wanted to feel sorry for putting him in such a terrible condition, but then, he hasn’t been forthcoming at all.“Alice, where the fuck have you been?” Logan repeated, his jaw moving in deep sated anger. I moved two steps backwards, visibly afraid of what he could do to me. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the house cleaner and other staff peeping from their hiding place.Logan turned to the driver, “Get the fuck out of my sight…and you are damn fir

Leah entered my room without knocking and dumped an IV on my bed that morning. I consider it rude. At first, she did not even have the courtesy to knock before barging in, and then jumping stuff on the bed? Since she arrived days ago, she has not said a word to me, and even when I heard her screaming her lungs out over the changed meals and referring to the ones I replaced them with as gutter-food after she was told that I made the changes, she did not confront me.She was always having her meals earlier, or going to bed even before it gets dark. Tia suggested that she might be avoiding me, but then when I really thought of it, we have never been close friends…or friends at all.“That’s an invitation to the Secretary-elect’s party,” she said, but I made no move to pick it up to look at it.“Okay,” I said indifferently.“Okay?” Leah asked, “Aren’t you going to open it?” “It was not given to me,” I told her blatantly. I refuse to let both brother and sister treat me like trash, and sin

Riley and Emma met up at a low class restaurant downtown as usual. Riley made sure that this time around, nobody will be able to trace her to the restaurant, or to Emma. She had fired her manager the moment she landed back in New York;the stupid girl had been visiting every beach and chasing after young hairy boys without shirts on instead of doing her job, and employed someone else. She made sure she went for someone who is as eager to get a job done as he is to getting paid. It was he who found out the local restaurant for her, and she was grateful that she would be paying for whatever they would have in cash, instead of card payment.Emma strolled in just five minutes after Riley settled in at a booth reserved for them in the hidden corner of the place, and she sighed in relief, thankful that she did not have to wait for hours for Emma to show up. Emma did not bother herself much in the area of disguise like Riley, but of course, the bitch rarely cared about what most people think

I supposed the one that gets me the most is the boy dying. I had asked Ethan to get him a private doctor to tend to his injuries, because we cannot afford to take him to a hospital and risk getting exposed at all. And with Kozlova’s quest and thirst to bring me down, he is recruiting every gullible and greedy young boy in my team against me, and thanks to Ethan who does an excellent job at finding out things in time, he has been unable to succeed.What other means and length will the bastard go just to bring me down?If Kozlova has not given up in almost ten years, he is not about to give up now, and I am even surprised that he is still using the same method he has been using that has not worked for him. Although I really appreciate Ethan for being smart and sleek, I do not like the way he approaches these things.I am very sure there are other ways to get these young boys punished rather than being so brutal and fatal about it, but I think Ethan has gone beyond listening to me regard
