Didn't Go As Expected
“Impossible! This is total bullshit!” Don Pedro growled, his eyes sparking with rage as he looked at the screen of the iPad. “How was he able to do this?!” He almost cracked the screen with his vibrating thumb, his eyes moving from one end to the other. He lifted his face after a few seconds, turning to Travis who stood in front of him like a branchless tree.“How did this happen?! I thought that silly Detective was supposed to handle Brian!”As usual, Travis had nothing to say.He looked away, his eyes staring at the table at his right. “Clegane was supposed to have him locked up, Grandpa…” Travis tried to keep his voice stable, but the fierceness he saw in the old man’s eyes wouldn’t let him.It was menacing; the kind of countenance that could make anyone have a heart attack. “I knew we couldn’t trust him, Grandpa.” Travis tried to shift the focus, gnashing his teeth as he approached silently.“I knew that Clegane was going to do something like this. He couldn’t just ha
Early Delivery
Finally, the old man was standing a meter before the box.The little space between them was already looking like it had vanished, his eyes flashing with uncertainty while he looked.He turned to Travis, then to Brian. That annoying wry smile was still plastered on his face, as though that was going to be its everlasting abode. Don Pedro took a deep breath, then he pushed his left hand forward, his cane firmly gripped to it. With a little effort, he lifted the lid of the box, opening it easily.Travis leaned to take a look, but the distance prevented him from seeing what was inside. So he looked at the old man, trying to read his expression.“What’s inside, Grandpa?” He asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Don Pedro’s silence lingered as though he had never been able to speak, his eyes staring deep into the box. Then he lowered his cane, taking a deep breath. “Grandpa?!” Travis called out, yet there was no response.“What did he put inside the box?!” His curiosit
Secrets in a Box
While Travis voiced out his rage, he felt the relief that sprang into his body from the moment he saw the old man crushing the device. “Now that your evidence has been destroyed, what other weapon do you have for your little quest? I am sure you didn’t think it through, Brian. Walking into this place with your little self to try to blackmail us.” He snorted, clenching his fists and ready to throw a punch.But he was still a coward, once and always. Don Pedro cleared his throat, drawing the attention of everyone.But he wanted Brian to look at him before he could speak, staring silently until he finally did. “How did Arya even get married to such an idiot like you? How unintelligent can you be?” He grunted, his eyes sparking with contempt. “My daughter married a bingo, and now my Granddaughter has gotten married to a worse breed of animal. What kind of curse is this?” He gnashed his teeth, glaring at Brian. Then he was able to see clearly; the wry smile that had refused to
The Shame
“What?!” He lifted his face to look at Brian, then he swallowed hard.He took a step backward, returning his gaze to Brian. “Is that?!” He lost his words, pointing to the device that was resting comfortably on the center rug, unscratched and without any dents. “Did you do this?!” He staggered backward, his eyes bulging and wide with panic.“Are you responsible for that?!” His trembling finger was still pointing to the phone while he kept his eyes on Brian.“Did you do this?! How?!” He could hear his heart pounding hard against his ribcage, his mouth agape while he stared. Brian remained silent, allowing his wry smile to do the mocking. “No…” Travis picked up the phone from the floor and began to swipe.“I need to delete this! I need…” His voice became feeble while he scrolled. Sweat beads covered his forehead, more of them running all over his body.His grip on the device almost made him drop it, his pulse getting heavier with anxiety. “How do I delete this! It’s not
Unclad Sight
“Where is Arya? Where is my daughter?!” She was desperate for an answer, still moving her eyes until she saw Travis still curled up on the couch. “Travis?” She drew closer to him, a concerned look on her face.“What’s wrong? Why are you in tears?” She sat next to him, grabbed and pulled him closer.“Who did this to you?” She asked the moment she saw the blood, turning to the old man as though she already knew the answer.Don Pedro’s scowl confirmed her thought, but she needed to be sure, returning her gaze to her son. Travis sniffled, then he lifted his head.“I didn’t do it, Mum! This bastard must have hacked into my phone and posted it!” He turned to Brian, breathing heavily. “What are you talking about?” Jemima turned to Brian, bemusement etched on her face.“What’s going on, Brian? What’s Travis talking about?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Brian sighed heavily, then he moved his eyes to the phone. Jemima understood the gesture, turning to her left.
Lake House Event
He ended the call at once, then he pocketed the device and slowly got into the car.His head spiraled with the plentiful thoughts that crawled inside, causing him to grunt momentarily. He sighed heavily, then he pushed the start button and zoomed out of the Kirk Estate. It took about half an hour for him to get to his destination, and he prayed fervently that things had not gotten out of hand. He alighted as soon as he turned off the engine and ran across the wooden bridge, his eyes on the lake house as he moved.From a distance, he could already see some figures, but it was unclear who they were.Certainly, none of them looked like Vicky or Carl, giving him a reason to increase his pace. “Stop there!” One of the men in black suits yelled at him the moment he stepped down from the bridge, eyes sparking with anger.“Who are you?! And what do you want here?!” Brian scoffed, amused by the question. He took two steps forward, completely unfazed by the number of men among t
He is Their Cousin!
“Oh, they are your cousins!” The middle-aged man snorted, transferring the same aggression to Brian.“This makes it even more interesting!” He nodded, gnashing his teeth. “Maybe I will roast you as well. You look like you will take a while before you burn to ashes.” He stated, observing Brian from the little space between them. The next second, the sinister smile on his face vanished, replaced by a scowl. “Your little cousins made a terrible mistake the moment they touched my precious child. My only child!” He clenched his fists, showing his white knuckles. His eyes were still on Brian, but only for two extra seconds. “Get the gallon and pour the fuel! Take this one too and throw him into the house!” The man ordered, pointing to Brian.One of his men grabbed the gallon while two others moved to grab Brian just as their boss had instructed. The two were in a hurry, approaching with snarls on their faces. Brian didn’t look at them, his attention was drawn to their cohort
Burn Them!
“Brian! Is that you!” A familiar voice broke out from the Lake house, laced with tension.“Please save us! Don’t let that crazy man harm us!” Vicky’s voice followed after her brother’s, laced with arrogance even in her plight.Brian grunted, shaking his head slowly.He took a deep breath, returning his gaze to Kai. “Let them go, Mr. Virox. There would be no need to linger in this situation. It would be too chaotic.” “Don’t listen to him, Dad!” Kai’s daughter bellowed from where she was standing, taking two steps forward.She turned to Brian, glowering at him with so much contempt in her eyes.“That stupid Carl promised not to cheat on me! But he brought another woman to this place and fucked her!” She grunted, tears of pain and annoyance trickling down her face. “I want you to kill him, Dad! Kill him with his sister!” She urged, stomping her right foot on the ground.Then she sniffled, wiping some of her tears.“That bitch is lucky she was able to run away before my fathe
Valor Defeated
“If that is how you want it, so be it.” Brian nodded, a wry smile on his face. “I hope your daughter wouldn’t be in so much pain when she sees you on the floor.” “What did you just say to me?” Kai growled, then he freed himself from his daughter’s grip, marching forward to Brian. His eyes were still glittering with rage, his right fist clenched while he reached for his jacket pocket with his other hand.“Here is what you have asked for.” He said quietly, showing the key he had taken out, his teeth grinding against each other. “Come get it, if you can.” He dared Brian, fury sparking in his eyes.His vigor was palpable, like stagnant water that was never going to run dry.His eyes flashed with disdain, his teeth still grinding as though they were about to crush Brian between them.Silently, his daughter hailed him from the back, already celebrating her father’s victory before it could happen.She turned to Brian, and her smug smile vanished for a second, replaced by contemp
The Apology
“I was just trying to make him pay for what I did, Sir!” Sasha’s tone was still slippery, gradually losing its grip.“Any other person would have done what I did, sir. I am sure you are aware of that.” She swallowed hard for the third time in two seconds, staggering backward again.Her heartbeat increased with so much uncertainty that her muscles constricted like twigs. But Brian didn’t have anything to say to her.The sound of the heavy banging on the door behind him caught his attention.He sighed heavily, then he turned and sauntered with the key in his right hand.The moment he inserted the key into the hole and twisted, Vicky pushed from the inside, almost hitting him with the wood.“Brian! You saved us!” She wrapped her arms around his neck, slightly pushing him backward in excitement. “Thank you so much for coming! That maniac would have killed us if it wasn’t for you!” Brian pulled her out of his body, his eyes looking into the lake house.Carl’s face was the firs
