Mayor’s Request
“You sent for me, Grandpa,” Brian said as soon as he walked into the room, reaching to grab the wooden chair in front of him.He sat down quietly, looking the old man in the eyes. Lord Ambrose took a deep breath, then he sat up, grunting with so much effort.“I am fine…” He said the moment he saw that Brian was about to get up and help him. He finally succeeded, but he needed some time to regain his lost strength. “I wanted us to talk, Brian.”“About what?” Brian asked, his voice low but audible. “The Mayor…” Lord Ambrose cleared his throat, then he grabbed the glass of water on the table beside him.Brian waited, watching patiently while he gulped until nothing was remaining in the glass.The old man sighed heavily, returning the empty glass to the table. “He wants a loan.” He stated, speaking with a lighter tone. “Another one?” Brian retorted, lifting an eyebrow. “Yes. And this time, he wants more.” Lord Ambrose scoffed, then he signaled to one of the guards stand
No More Scoundrels
Arya marched out of the office like a champion who had just defeated her greatest rival. The smile on her face was evergreen, spreading like wildfire. But she had to stop after she had walked past Travis, taking two steps backward with both hands gripped to her purse.Travis didn’t blink while he stared at her. His anger was still hot and steaming, but it was silent. “Hi, brother.” Arya waved at him, then she laughed. The kind of laughter that pierced through the chest, sending waves of mockery into the skin of whoever it was directed at. Travis swallowed hard, and even though Arya didn’t have to say much, he heard a lot. “What games are you playing?” He asked, clenching his right fist.“What silly games are you playing, Arya?! What are you doing here?!’“I am sure you are going to find out soon, Travis.” Arya retorted, taking a step forward.Then she turned to face him properly, looking him directly in the eyes. “I am done working for you guys while you take all t
The Same Man
“Isn’t that the name of Brian’s company?” Don Pedro didn’t exactly direct his question to anyone.His eyes turned from one person to the other, and the light inside them dimmed. “That bastard!” He snarled, then he positioned his gaze to Arya.“I always knew that moron was up to something! I knew it!” He growled, staring deep into Arya’s eyes.“How could you let him do this to us, Arya? Can’t you see that he is just using you? First, he pranked you to get married to him, and now he has taken that which belongs to us, to our family!’His tone was distraught, finally cracked by the weight of the betrayal and anger he felt.Any other person would have had tears well up in their eyes, but certainly not Don Pedro.The old man glared at Arya, even when she looked away.“You are just like your mother!” Don Pedro accused, gnashing his teeth.“You two behaved like love puppies. You let scoundrels into your life and allow them to take what is mine!”His grip was still hard on the wood
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.
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 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
