"
What are you doing here, Madison?" Austin asked. I was in his room to keep a few documents on his working table, but I saw a locket hanging from the pencil holder when I was leaving. It instantly caught my attention and I pried to look further into it. I picked the locket and felt the texture of the circle pendant in the chain. It looked like it had some type of mechanism to open it as there is something with a sword shape engraved in it. It might be something...
I looked at Austin to find him in his sweatpants, I think he was getting ready for bed. I kept the locket down back from where I picked it from. He followed my hand's movement and he stiffened that playful smirk that was long gone. I think I have brought back memories, very unpleasant memories for him. I wonder what happened.
He was right in front of me, I was caught off guard, I just blinked once and he was already in front of me.
"I have asked you something, Madison," he said. I took a few st
Austin’s Point of ViewI looked out of the window at the lush green grass that is now hiding in the darkness of the night. I smiled thinking of what was going to happen tonight. I could have done that way back but I wanted to wait for the right time to come and now is the right time. My laptop gave me a signal indicating that Madison had entered her room and so I quickly turned and sat on the soft comfortable chair facing the laptop and looked at what she was doing at the moment in her room.She just came out of her bathroom after eating the leftover dinner. She was wiping her face and hands with the face towel when she entered the room then she placed the towel at the foot of the bed and stared at the lamp. I observed her every action through the camera I had made my men install in her room. It is a very small hidden camera, not easy to find. I have placed those cameras almost everywhere in her room with a few microphones here and there
I looked back at the screen when I heard a knock on the door in Anabella’s room. She got up and opened the door. I walked in on a maid holding a cup of herbal tea which I specially asked them to prepare.“What’s this?” Anabella asked.“Madam, sir has asked me to give you this herbal tea, he said it will help you to relax and sleep quickly,” the maid said to Anabella. She has to accept the cup of tea otherwise my plan wouldn’t work. If she doesn’t accept the cup of tea then I will have to use my other plan which would be noticed easily. The gas would be visible to her if I released it and it would make her suspicious.However, I did not need to use plan B as she accepted the cup of tea and kept it on the nightstand. She took her phone and was sliding through some pictures in her gallery and stopping at each one of them for a minute or so. I zoomed on her phone and was surprised to see pictures of her and Isabella wh
My revenge for the Volkov’s will start from today, in fact from this moment onwards. I am waiting for Jade to arrive at the café we decided to meet in. He said to arrive at half-past six and now it’s ten minutes past seven. I look around the café and I feel uncanny. I don’t know why but something is unpleasant here. There are a few people here in the café. Jade and I decided to meet at the café in the evening in lieu of discussing the contract and the plan over lunch. Now, here I am waiting for him to arrive.There is a man in black reading newspapers in the corner with a cup of coffee, I assume. He lowers the newspaper to pick the cup of coffee, he looks familiar to me. I have seen him somewhere but where? I look at him for a few more seconds then shift my gaze to the couple sitting at two tables to my left because I don’t want to look like a creep.The girl is laughing about something the guy is saying and their han
Just as I was about to avert my gaze a car zoomed past us. It was surprising to see another car on the same road as us. This route only led to the mansion and hardly any cars passed this route. The mansion was now in full view, it was standing in its full glory with light shining from the insides of the mansion. The gates opened as our car came close by and we passed through them to the porch of the mansion.I looked at my watch and the time was now five minutes to nine. I hadn’t realized that I was twenty-five minutes late from the time Austin had ordered me to come back. I walked in confidently, the mansion was eerily quiet- not a single sound except for the sound of my heels clicking. The lights were switched on but not a single soul was seen around. This was not the usual, it was almost dinner time and not a single worker was spotted.I walked to the kitchen to see if there was anyone in there but surprisingly I found that empty as well. I looked around once
I watch as the clouds come in my view and the land below me shrinks and shrinks. The view is breathtaking from this height. I look out of the window until the plane tilts to the other side and I can no longer see the land but the sky and the setting sun.I look at the figure sitting in front of me with a glass of wine in his hands and looking at me but his mind seems somewhere else. I wave in front of my face but he does not respond nor blink. I don’t know what he is thinking. I mentally shrug and let him.I don’t know what Autin has seen in me that he claims me to be his. I don’t know if he is playing with me or if he is serious. I wouldn’t mind if he isn’t serious but my heart does not support my thoughts, they go against them. I don’t despise it when he claims me to be his. I don’t hate it when he gets possessive and controls me and my actions.I don’t know what he is doing to me. There are many things I want to
“Here is your coffee, Sir,” I said and he looked up, narrowing his eyes.“Sorry, Austin. Here is your coffee, Austin,” I repeated and kept his coffee on his desk right next to papers. “So, what are you doing?” I sat down in one of the vacant chairs in front of his desk.“I’m thinking of letting the deal go,” He said, then he explained it further, “The deal with the Knights,” He said. He can’t let that happen. This is the deal the Jones require and if they get this deal my plan would fail; all the hard work I have done till now will be of no use. Austin was blankly staring at me as if he was in his thoughts but his eyes were trained on me.“Austin, I think you should work with them. Our company will gain a lot from this. It’s a million-dollar deal and we will be able to expand our business all over Italy and other countries. We will get many opportunities if we sign this deal and
Today is the conference meeting with Mr Knight. Along whatever it was a couple of days ago, he’d decided to meet all the companies that had proposed to sign a deal with them and will arrive here at any moment.Austin had called me in his cabin this morning regarding the meeting today. When I entered his office he was standing there with a bouquet of multi flowers. I was surprised when he smiled and handed those to me. He didn’t even say anything at first but kissed me like we were a couple. I know I’m crossing the line by saying this but ‘Everything is allowed in love and war’, and I'm afraid I have taken that too seriously.“This is for you…” he did not complete his sentence but looked at me, dipped his head down and kissed me again.“Thank you, Austin, for these lovely flowers,” I said. He was trying his best to not laugh but he failed. Why was he even laughing? I looked at him as if he was crazy; we
I could hear Isabella and me screaming for him to stop. The scenes of Liam hitting my sister and me with a belt, or a whip kept on playing in my mind; the way he made us feel like the dirt he was.“No! Please stop! Please, we are sorry! I did not know-” I said as someone shook my shoulders. I could hear Isabella scream as she was beaten to unconsciousness by Liam. I had tried to stop him but he had pushed me, making me fall on my back.“Ma- Annabella! Annabella, what happened? Baby, look at me,” Austin said as he brought me back from the haunting memories. When I looked at him, he looked relieved, concern etched in his eyes. He pulled me into his chest and rubbed my back soothingly.“It’s okay. Breathe in and out,” He said and I did as he said.I did not know what I would have to deal with when I planned to seduce him and make my way to my goal. I did not know this would get this serious, this is just hilarious. I
