Brian battled the urge to ask how she knew about that, but there seemed to be something more important to worry about.

“You know I am never going to authorize this, right?” He sounded very firm in his decision, grunting in annoyance.

“Of course, I am fully aware, Brian…” Rebecca remarked, yet her confidence was unflickering.

“That’s why I decided to do something to convince you to give your consent…”

“What do you mean?” Brian was curious, pupils almost constricted.

A chime followed, then Rebecc

  • Lost Love

    Rebecca was missing from the corner where he had last seen him, making him turn until he had covered all the corners of the ball with his eyes. “Have you seen her?” The middle-aged man asked, causing him to return his gaze to him at once. “I have been searching for her since I came into this place…” He continued, groaning silently. “It was really hard for me to get through the guards. They kept asking questions until I almost gave up. All thanks to that crazy driver that distracted them….” He gasped silently, realizing he had said too much. His eyes scanned for anger in Brian’s eyes, but there was something else that seemed to have hidden it. “I hope you don’t throw me out, guy. Bro to bro…” He inched two steps closer, covered his mouth, and continued with a whisper. “Rebecca is the love of my life. I knew I was going to find her here. That’s why I came all the way from my city to see her. She is the only woman who makes me happy…” He sighed in despair, shaking his head sl

  • Lead Bodyguard

    Rebecca was already on her way back to where she was standing while Brian watched her without making a move. Brian thought that he wasn’t going to see a new face, but apparently, more guests were trooping into the hall in numbers. Obviously, none of them looked ordinary, the security men outside made sure that everyone who entered the hall was recognizable. Well, except for one person. Tall, middle-aged, and with a smile that seemed like he was glad that it was a funeral event. He ate everything he could lay his hands on, drank even what was not offered to him by the attendants in the hall. “Let me have that…” He grabbed the flute of champagne from the tray, and even when the servant glared at him, he still drank it. “Oh…” He smacked his lips, returning the empty glass to the tray. “I need another one…” There was no atom of politeness in his tone, his eyes sparking with greed. The servant’s annoyance was palpable, but keeping his job was more important than his emoti

  • Join Us

    Diego turned to his right, watching as Brian’s hand patted him with a gentle touch.He took a deep breath, then he cleared his throat.“I am going to miss him, Master Brian…”“I know…” Brian nodded, forcing a smile. “Me too…” His voice was barely above a whisper this time, his eyes flickering to suppress his tears.“You said you were looking for me, Master Brian…”“Oh, yes…” Brian broke his silence as well, pulling away from the Concierge.“It’s about the guests, Diego…”“Okay? I am listening…” Diego leaned forward, paying keen attention.“I want you to instruct the guards to keep an eye on them, Diego…” Brian stated, holding onto the visible sign that he still had more to say.“I don’t trust the people in there…” He pointed, but the Concierge knew too well that he wasn’t meant to look.“I have already seen enough to get me worried, and we both know that not everyone in there just came to console us.”“I understand, Master Brian.” Diego nodded, curving the corners of his lips.Brian w

  • Three Gentlemen

    “Of course.” Lucius nodded, taking a step forward.“Your father, Tiago, was one of us, Brian. Quite unfortunate that his promising life had to be cut short.”Brian remained silent, taking his time to process the sudden information.“You said that like my father was in some sort of secret cult.”Lucius chuckled softly, but his reaction was different from the others who groaned.“Not necessarily, Brian.” He returned his gaze to Brian at once, giving in to the urge to correct whataver impression was growing inside him.“You may be right if you say that no one knew about us, Brian. But I can assure you, we are not evil.”“I see…” Brian didn’t hide his dubiousness, turning to face the others one after the other.His gaze ended on Dylan, their gaze slightly intense.“So, what do you want?” He stared at Dylan a bit longer before he turned to Manfred, who seemed like he was already expecting that question and had prepared answers for it.“We want you to fulfill your destiny, Brian. We want yo

  • Laid to Rest

    Standing before the glittery casket, Brian took a deep breath, but it felt so heavy that he had to let it out almost at the same time.His head felt crowded, not only by the thoughts that filled it.Then again, he saw more faces the moment he looked up, faces that caused him to stare longer than he thought he would.The whispers didn’t stop; neither did the hand gestures and the eye movements.“Can we start now?” The Minister asked in a low tone, leaning closer to Brian while he waited for his response.“Yeah…” Brian returned his gaze to him, nodding slowly.“Go ahead.” He gave a slight wave of his hand, causing the Minister to nod.The middle-aged man cleared his throat, then he looked up at some of the faces before he began.“Dearest brethren…” He paused for two seconds, silently beckoning for silence from those who were still murmuring at the back.“We are gathered here this day, to pray for the happy repose of…”Brian closed his ears to the mention of his grandfather’s name, but t

  • All Began

    There was no response, and it didn’t look like Rebecca was going to get any.Brian’s eyes were still focused on the people in front of him, looking past the glares from his cousins.“I take it that she isn’t here,” Rebecca concluded, curling her lips.“That wife of yours has no respect for this family, Brian. Not even for the dead. She should have been here to honor my father, your grandfather.”Brian ignored the finger pointed at him, looking up at Rebecca’s visage.The anger didn’t move him, his expression plain and unreadable.“Arya is pregnant, Aunty Becca…”Rebecca tutted, rolling her eyes at the unsatisfactory explanation from her nephew.“She is not the first pregnant lady in this world, Brian. I was pregnant with Carl when your father died. I attended his burial with a big stomach.”Vicky nodded, as though she could still recall the incident.Brian took a deep breath, his expression still deadpan.“I asked her not to come, Aunt Becca. Arya wanted to be here, but I said no.”“O
