New Employee
“Are you certain you want me to do this, Don Pedro?” The young man asked, his voice barely above a whisper.Once again, he looked around, staring through the tinted screen of the white car. He was nervous, his voice barely able to break through the jitters that spread all over his body. He tried, but looking at the old man seated at the back seemed like a taboo; some abomination that could put his promising life to an end. While he waited for the cringing silence to end, he took a deep breath, hoping that he had not pissed off the old man. His chest tightened, his throat unable to accommodate the hot saliva he tried to force down the pipe. Don Pedro sighed, and the sound made the young man take another deep breath. “How long have you worked for me, Ferran?” He asked, his tone low but firm. The young man counted, his eyes rolling as he searched through his mind. Then he cleared his throat, forcing his voice to break free from the cage. “I have been with you since I w
Familiar Face
“Perfect,” Ferran responded after gathering his strength, nodding as well.The lady chose to believe him, returning her eyes to the screen in front of her.“Oh, yes. Mr. Thornwood. Mrs. Brian is expecting to see you today. You are right on time.” She lifted her fingers from the keyboard, returning her gaze to Ferran with her smile intact. “This way. First door by your left. Last floor.” “Thank you.” Ferran nodded, already on his way toward the elevator. The ding sound of the system almost made his heart sink deeper, his grip on his properties almost loosened. The metal door finally opened, but it took him a while before he finally stepped out of the elevator.His shiny black curly hair bounced as he sauntered along the hallway, bearing in mind the exact door the lady downstairs had mentioned.Knock-Knock! He wasn’t sure if anyone could have heard that, his knuckles still resting on the wood even after he was done. “Come in!” The voice he heard expected to hear responde
To Debunk
Ferran was frozen, his eyes staring widely at Brian. Arya noticed the awkwardness, turning to Brian who was already on his way marching toward the new employee. “Have we met before?” He asked, his voice low but audible.“Ferran took a deep breath, forced to listen to the sound of his heartbeat.“I don’t think so, Mr. Regal. I have never met you before, but I am glad I have the honor to meet you now.” Ferran cleared his throat, then he extended his hand toward Brian. “I have heard so much about you and the work you do. You are one of the most brilliant tech guys I have researched. I wish to be like you someday.” Brian chuckled softly, then he shook hands with the young man. “Thank you, Ferran. You are welcome to SilverLine Tech. I would you would make things easier for my wife. She spoke so highly of you.” He looked the young man in the eyes, then he took a deep breath.His expression shifted, the brightness on his visage almost doused.“Are you sure we have never met bef
Guilty Until Proven Otherside
“Who do you think did this?” Brian asked in a low tone, then he looked at the post while he listened.“Travis,” Arya responded without delay, then she waited to see her husband’s reaction. “Your brother?”“Yes, Brian. That looks exactly like his handiwork.” She pointed at the phone Brian was still holding while she nodded.“I cannot count the number of times my Grandpa has asked him to frame people for refusing to do his bidding. Travis may be slow and inattentive, but he is smart when it comes to blackmailing people. That has his handwriting all over it.” She pointed out, her voice audible and firm.Brian took a deep breath, then he looked at the screen, tapping until the post appeared. He scrolled for two seconds, then he cleared his throat.“I see…” The smirk on his face refused to vanish, even when he returned his gaze to Arya.The lady raised an eyebrow, then she waited, hoping to hear something else.“What do you think we should do, Brian? I don’t think Travis is goin
The Fraudster
Brian turned to Arya, but before he could say a word, she had already shaken her head frantically.“No, Brian! I don’t want you to go with them!” She hurriedly grabbed his hands, then she looked at the policemen. “I know my Grandfather is responsible for this, Brian. I think we should call a lawyer. Do you have one?!” She grabbed her phone from him and began to scroll with trembling fingers. “Arya. There is no need for that.” Brian stopped her, gently pushing down the phone. He looked into her eyes with a promising smile, causing the lady to stare without blinking.“Go home and wait for me, Arya. I will be back on time for supper.” Arya’s breath was still quivering, even when she took a deep breath.She tried holding onto Brian, but he slipped through her fingers, her chest tightening. “Brian…” She muttered, more tears dropping from her eyes. Brian turned toward the door, but just after taking two steps, one of the policemen pushed him, causing him to stagger forward.
Vindictive Persona
“That’s the moron over there.” Clegane pointed, taking another step backward. Don Pedro’s eyes met with Brian’s and they stared at each other, more tension rising between them.Don Pedro was not alone. Travis was right behind him, walking in majestically as he had just purchased the entire building. “Oh wow!” He sniggered, pointing at Brian with a taunting look all over his face. “That’s the loser who has refused to let go of my sister! That’s the idiot who is trying to ruin my life!” He moved ahead of his Grandfather, standing right in front of Brian with the table between them.“Pathetic!” He spat, eyes burning with disgruntlement.“Why isn’t he in cuffs?” He asked, turning to Clegane with a little hint of disapproval in his tone. Clegane took a deep breath, then he turned to Travis and scoffed.“I cannot remember being answerable to you, Travis. Learn how to talk to me, I am a Police Detective, not one of your thugs.” SCOFF! Travis sniggered, looking the Detective i
Chain and Saw
The silence that followed was loud, sending more chill down Travis’s spine.His lips parted, yet he couldn’t even say a word. There was a spark in his eyes, but it wasn’t valor this time, it was nervousness.Some kind of sensation that he couldn’t explain ran through him, forcing him to take a deep breath.“What did you just say to me?” He asked, his voice almost trembling.But Brian had not gotten used to repeating himself, maintaining his wry smile while he looked him in the eyes. “You think this is a joke?!” Travis tried to lunge at him, but that suddenly felt like a bad decision, especially since Brian was standing like a solid rock.He lowered his fist, taking a step backward. His chest kept on rising and falling at the same time, but it was useless. He wasn’t going to do anything with it, not even a push. “I will visit you in jail, Brian. And when I come, I will make sure I bring some new clothes along with me. You will need them.” He swore, taking a deep breath.
Two Promises Made
“Who are these men?” The Detective’s voice was shivering, his vision blurry as he scoured the room.There was no space; the men had occupied everywhere, their anger rising to the roof.He watched them bow to Brian, and he was forced to turn to him, panting heavily. “Do you realize that this is a police station?! This is the Lakeville Headquarters. You cannot just walk in…” SLAP!Clegane’s head was slammed into the wall, a loud grunt escaping him.He felt the blood running from his nostrils, his heart beating like talking drums. He whimpered, holding onto his head while he groaned.“Ah!” The pain was unbearable, causing him to fall to the ground.His vision became worse, his eyes attempting to see who was walking toward him. “You are going to pay for this! I am a policeman! You are not above the law! No one is above the law!” His tone was distorted, tears streaming from his eyes. He felt two sets of hands grab him, then his body was lifted before he was dragged roughly.
Guilt Resistance
“Yes!” Clegane nodded, his head almost breaking from his neck.He managed to catch his breath after a while, then he proceeded to beg. “Have mercy, sir! Have mercy on me!” His tears were unending, the mucus still dripping freely.He sniffled, his eyes totally red from crying.“I have a family, sir! I have two daughters and a wife to take care of! If anything happens to me, no one will take care of them!” He coughed louder than before, pushing out more blood from the unnatural holes in his body. Brian took a deep breath, then he sighed heavily.He waited until Clegane’s sobbing had reduced to the barest minimum.Then he cleared his throat. “We would have to finish what we have started, Mr. Detective. We have a deal, remember?” “No. We didn’t!” Clegane shook his head again, more tears flowing from his eyes. The look of uncertainty on his face was the only thing that made it visible, his veins lined up like strings of panic.“I beg you, sir! I will let you go! I will not
Heart and Tumoril
The sound of Clegane’s heart dropping felt like an earthquake, his skin turning white while he stared at the gun with side eyes. Once again, he swallowed hard, returning his eyes to the view of the camera.The thought of a bullet thrusting into his skull and shattering his brain made his toes compress inside his luxury shoes, his fingers almost dried out.He cleared his throat, then he exhaled slowly. Yet the anxiety didn’t let go of him, holding onto him as though it had tentacles. “Go ahead. Confess, Clegane. And don’t forget to tell the whole world who made you do what you did.” Brian’s voice was low but imperative, his grip on the gun firm while his index finger was ready to move the trigger. Clegane saw this with a glance, and his mouth opened, ready to produce a sound. “I…” He began, reality almost crushing his cold bones. “Mr. Brian Regal is not guilty of everything he was accused of. It was all a lie…” His heart collapsed again, his breath barely hanging inside h
