Double Thwack
THWACK! THWACK! Brian landed two deafening slaps across Xavier’s face, causing his head to spiral.Xavier grunted, holding onto both cheeks while he staggered backward. The shock was intense, surging into silence among everyone while they stared with wide eyes. Xavier’s head was bent to the ground, and it cost him a lot of strength before he could lift his face. “Are you okay. Dad?!” Sarah hurried to him, grabbing him by the waist. “Are you okay?!” She asked with an urgent voice, holding onto her father.Xavier rubbed both hands on his cheeks, then he adjusted his jaw while he listened to be sure his eardrums had not been broken. His guards pulled closer without him asking, ready to fight on his behalf.“What are we going to do to him, Mr. Hopkins?” The first asked, cracking his knuckles while he faced Brian with anger brewing inside him.“I think we should take him to the back and beat him until all the bones in his body break.” The second suggested, burning inside.
Shock of his Life
“Wha…” Xavier froze, his internal organs getting so cold that his nerves began to shiver.“What did you just say?! I think you have the wrong person!” Sarah broke her silence, in haste to defend her father.“That’s the man you should be arresting, not my father!” She pointed to Brian, still staring at the slim man. “My father has done nothing. He would never commit any crimes!” She claimed, yet her voice was about to betray her. Andrew ignored her, turning to Brian. “I hope we didn’t take so much time, Mr. Regal. We came as soon as we got your message..”“Not at all.” Brian nodded, taking four steps forward.He shook hands with Andrew who rushed before he could get to him. “You are right on time, Mr. Newman. Right on time to make him face justice.” Brian turned to Xavier and sniggered.“What’s this?!” Xavier grunted, turning to Andrew.“How dare you accuse me of such?! Do you realize that I can make you lose your job?! I am friends with the Defense Minister. Your main bo
The Dinner
DING-DING!The sound of the call going through seemed to be in sync with Brian’s thudding heartbeat. He couldn’t tell why he was uneasy, beads of sweat forming on his forehead even though he wasn’t supposed to be sweating. The call ended, and Arya didn’t answer. Brian’s heart skipped a beat, and he was certain that something had gone wrong.“What’s going on?!” He grunted, pushing the redial icon while he moved toward the back of the car.His grip on the device was beginning to get slippery, a sign that he could have been sweating even on his palm.“Why isn’t she picking up her call?” He muttered, the phone still fastened to his right ear. He moved toward the other side of the parking lot, his feet staggering to the end. There was still no sign of Arya, not even her familiar scent. Brian grunted in frustration, his mind going through the many things that could have gone wrong. He lowered his phone after the seventh attempt, scrolling through his contact list.Then he
Time to Step Down
“Arya?” Don Pedro called out, and that was the beginning of a silence that lasted for a while. Everyone stopped eating, turning to face the old man.His expression was plain and unreadable, and while he waited for the servant to take out the empty dish, he grabbed a glass of water and emptied it.Then he handed it over to the servant while he grabbed a napkin.It seemed like no one else had the appetite to eat anymore.Those still with their cutlery were getting ready to drop them while they stared at the old man. Arya took a deep breath while she waited, wondering what was taking the old man so long to speak. Don Pedro cleared his throat, sending the servants away with his eyes.“There is something I have to tell you.” He said, facing Arya. That sounded like a warning, preparing her for whatever he was about to haul on her. “What is it, Grandpa? You sound like something bad has happened.” Arya chuckled again, turning from one person to the other.Again, she saw the sm
Forgotten so Soon
“You will do as you have been told, Young Lady!” Don Pedro banged hard on the table, his eyes raging as he rose to his feet.Arya was startled, even Travis and his mother fidgeted as soon as they heard his outburst. Arya took a step backward, wary of her Grandfather. She had known him throughout the growing years of her life. He was ruthless, decisive, and unpredictable.Don Pedro didn’t need to speak, just his eyes alone were enough to sound a warning.And that was exactly what he was doing at that time- glaring at Arya while he sauntered toward her.Arya took another step backward, ready to flee if it was going to come to that. The moment Brian sensed that things could get out of hand, he rose to his feet, turning to move toward his wife.Jemima urged him to hurry, afraid that her daughter could be in so much trouble.“How dare you speak to me in that manner?!” Don Pedro growled inwardly, scowling at Arya.He was ready to cover the remaining space between them, anger
Take the Offer
“Say yes to the offer and become a rich man.” Travis refused to keep quiet, ignoring the angry look from his mother and sister.“You can always get another beautiful lady with all of that money. I am sure there are other women as pretty as my sister.”“Why would you say that to him, Travis? Are you that insensitive?” Jemima scolded her son, anger burning in her eyes.“Let him speak, Jemima. He has only said the truth.” Don Pedro remarked, maintaining his coldness.“Brian here has served his purpose, and I think it is time for him to walk away.” He stated, facing Brian with a resentful expression.“Leave my sister alone, Brian. She deserves better, not a penniless looter like you.”“Don’t speak to him like that, Travis. That’s my husband.” Arya rebuked, eyes sparking with displeasure.She wasn’t certain of what to concentrate on at that moment.Probably the fact that she was about to be cheated and treated like she meant nothing, or the fact that it was all because of her choice of a h
Punch to Order
Punch!Brian sent him staggering with his left fist while he held onto Arya with his other hand.Travis almost fell if not for the table behind him.His hands moved to grab something, but he ended up sending the dirty plates and cutlery clattering.Jemima was ready to move to him until she was certain he wasn’t going to touch the ground.Blood oozed from his nostrils, staining his white shirt.“Did you just lay your filthy hands on me?!” He growled, touching his nose.“You are a dead man, Brian!” He threatened, turning to his Grandfather.“Do something, Grandpa! We cannot let him go unpunished! He just injured me!”Don Pedro tried to hide the disappointment on his face, but nothing he did worked.Travis definitely stood no chance against Brian, and he was beginning to wonder if he had made the right decision.Nevertheless, he couldn’t let his ego be faltered.His pride was way more important to him than rethinking the decision he had made.He turned to Arya, ignoring his grandson and
A New Order
“Travis Kirk. CEO Link Tech.” Travis chuckled softly, practicing his grand entrance for the hundredth time.He held tightly to the steering wheel, his eyes turning to look at the tall building.He paid keen attention to the big lighted sign, reading as though it was his first time setting his eyes on it.“By the time I finally take over, everyone will know that I am not as useless as they have tagged me. Arya will know my worth. She thinks without her we cannot survive…”He snorted, eyes burning with disdain.“We will see about that…” He scoffed, grabbing the door handle and pulling.While he made his way toward the building, he grabbed his phone and made a call.“Hey! Sweetie! Guess what?!” His voice was loud and excited, the impatience to break the news laced in his tone.“What now, Travis? I hope you have not called to tell me you love me. I already know that.” Came the uninterested female voice from the other end.Travis shook his head, still holding onto his excitement.“I have j
Not Right!
“I didn’t see any email,” Travis claimed, but there was only one way to find out.As quickly as his trembling hands could, he reached for his phone, patting all his pockets until he found it.That was the first notification that had popped up on his screen that morning, but he was too ignorant to have seen it.“What is this?!” His voice trembled, his eyes looking into those of the Manager.“How could you let this happen, Mr. Fletcher?! This is the biggest contract we have heard of since the foundation of this company!” He waited for an explanation, but all the Manager could do was stutter.The other employees staggered backward, turning to stare at each other.They thought about it, their minds flying into different directions.The salary raise that was promised, the group vacations, and the additional benefits.Everything seemed to be going down the drain.Soon, the attention of everyone was drawn to the footsteps approaching from a distance.Don Pedro drifted into the building like
A Different Apple
“What are you doing here?” He asked, staring at the lady seated in front of the desk.He blinked twice to be certain his eyes were not deceiving him, his cane struggling to remain in place. “Arya?” Travis muttered, leaning to take a better look.“What are you doing here?” Arya turned slowly, a wry smile on her face.She pinched them with a sneer before she could even say a word.“Hello, Grandpa. Hello, brother. Fancy meeting you guys here…” She waved at them, increasing the spite. Don Pedro grunted, then he turned to the manager, who had been wondering if he was invisible. “Mr. Adkins?” The old man pushed forward, but he couldn’t continue without turning to look at his granddaughter. “I received an email…” He paused, searching for his phone again.Then he grunted, frustration running through his veins. “Why have you decided to put a hold to the Power Line Project? That’s not done!” Owen took a deep breath, then he pushed himself up from the seat. “Welcome, Mr.
