The day was gradually becoming dark and it was time for Scott to return back home for work. Scott went into the changing room to put on his clothes and walked out and placed the uniform in his locker.
After putting the uniform inside the locker,Scott closed it and walked out with Tory. Scott promised to treat her to dinner to celeberate his upcoming wedding.But it's not like Scott actually wanted to take her there,it was all Tory's idea. But Scott had no objection. He had the money to feed the entire country for centuries."Where do you plan on taking me?" Tory's voice reverberated through the dark and quiet company. The time was already very late and everyone already left after work."I don't know,you say." Scott replied while making his way out."Deveraux Restaurant." Tory implored sacarstically. Deveraux restaurant is the biggest restaurant in all of Spain.It is a place where the big shots go on a date and spend lavishly. The food over there was really cost and no ordinary person could just walk in without having atleast $1,000 on him."Sure,why not." Scott replied,unbothered as he kept on walking.Tory's eyes almost popped out of her sockets after hearing Scott's response. She was only messing with him by asking him to take her to Deveraux Restaurant,but Scott said yes."Did you hear the name of the resraurant i called?" Tory inquired with a surprised expression."Uh..yeah,i did. Is there a problem?" Scott replied with a raised eyebrow."Ah,no. I am just surprised that you woukd treat me to dinner in such expensive place. We could always go to the local restaurant where food are cheap. I don't want you spending all your life savings on a single dinner." Tory stated with a look of concern.She knew how hard Scott worked in the company just to get paid in the end of the month. She couldn't imagine herself speding the whole fortune Scott worked hard for."You don't have to worry. I just want to celeberate with my bestfriend before i finally get married." Scott responded,placing his arm around Tory's shoulder as they made their way outside."Don't say i didn't warn you,though. If i am going to step foot into Deveraux Restaurant,i will make sure i taste all they have there and eat to my full." Tory replied with a smirk,causing Scott to laugh out loud."Haha,we'll see about that." Scott stated.The duo finally exited the company and began to make their way to the Deveraux Restaurant.Moments after Scott and Tory left the building,A figure emerged from the darkness and made his way to Scott's locker.The strange man managed to unlock the locker and open it,placing a small bag inside and locking it back.After locking it,the man quietly made his way outside to avoid getting seen by anyone. Before carrying on with his act,he made sure to turn off every CCTV cameras that were available in that location.***The duo arrived at the restaurant. A tall building with lots of modern designs and the name written boldly, "DEVARAUX RESTAURANT".Tory glanced at the building with her mouth wide open,still in disbelief that she was actually going to enter it."Come on." Said Scott as they both walked inside.The opulent restaurant exudes an air of refined elegance, with its lavish decor and tasteful accents. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow over tables adorned with fine linen and gleaming silverware. Plush, high-backed chairs cradle patrons in comfort as they engage in animated conversations. The atmosphere is permeated with the melodic strains of a live pianist, providing a backdrop of sophisticated serenity. Impeccably dressed servers move with graceful precision, attending to the diners' every need. The menu boasts an array of exquisite dishes, each a culinary masterpiece, and the wine list showcases a curated selection of rare vintages. The air is filled with the delightful aromas of carefully crafted cuisine, mingling with the soft hum of contented chatter, creating an ambiance of unparalleled luxury and indulgence.Tory and Scott could see the rich men glaring at them with looks of disgust."Hey,how may i help you?" A waiter beckoned on the duo polietly."We would like to book a table for dinner." Scott replied.The waiter glanced at the duo from head to toe before replying. "Sure,this way."The waiter directed the duo to an empty seat and made them feel comfortable."So,what can i get you guys?" The waiter asked,holding a paper and pen,ready to jot down."Just get her what she wants." Scott stated."Anything?" Tory asked. Her eyes filled with greed and anticipation."Yeah,anything. I just got accepted by my fiance's family,i need to celeberate. So don't worry." Scott replied.After receiving the response,Tory shifted her gaze to the waiter and began to make order upon order upon order. Anytime she made a single order,she would glance at Scott's face,but he seemed to not be bothered by her demand.At first,Tory found it strange that Scott was ready to spend lavishly tonight by taking her to the Deveraux Restaurant even if he worked so hard to get the money. But after thinking about it for a while,Tory finally understood what was going on.Scott was dating the daughter of the richest man in Spain. Definitely she would often give him some tips here and there just to keep him smiling.Moments after making the order,the table was now filled up with different kinds of food. Chicken,rice,wine,sauce,and so on.From the sight of the food,Tory began to drool as she rubbed her palms together.Tory wasted no time and began to dig in and feast hungrily. Se couldn't remember the last time she's had something like this. What she ate everyday was her usual junk food.Few minutes later,the table was already empty. Tory and Scott both leaned their backs on the chair with their mouth stained with sauce and their belly the size of a pregnant woman.The waiter walked towards them aftee noticing they were done."It's time to settle the bills." The Waiter demanded."How much?" Scott inquired,taking out his phone to make the transfer."$9,500" The waiter replied.

Shall we?
The sun had just set over the bustling city, casting a warm orange glow across the skyline, bathing the sleek, modern skyscrapers in a golden hue. Among them stood the towering building that housed Carden Energy Corporation, the flagship of Scott Carden’s corporate empire.Inside the top-floor office, Scott sat silently behind a large glass desk, his arms folded across his chest as he stared out the expansive window. His sharp eyes tracked the fading sun, yet his mind was far from the scenery. Thoughts of alliances, betrayals, and the uncertain future clouded his focus. A quiet storm brewed behind his expressionless face.His contemplation was interrupted by a soft knock on the heavy door.“Come in,” Scott called out, his voice calm but authoritative.The polished wooden door slid open, and the company’s secretary stepped inside. She wore a crisp white blouse and black pencil skirt, holding a tablet in her hands.“Mr. Lorenzo, you have a meeting scheduled with Mr. Alex Chen from Smart
Whispers behind the cross
The morning sun rose gently over the estate, casting golden rays that pierced through the half-drawn curtains of Scott’s bedroom. The warm light flickered across his face, shining directly into his eyes and gradually stirring him from slumber. He groaned softly, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand before sitting up in bed.Still groggy, Scott swung his legs off the bed and stood. He moved towards the window with slow, deliberate steps, drawing the curtain slightly to the side for a clearer view of the sunlit estate beyond. Standing there for a few moments, he tilted his head side to side, cracking his neck softly as the early rays bathed his face. Thoughts began flooding his mind—serious thoughts, dangerous thoughts, lingering concerns from the night before.Moments later, he turned away and headed to the bathroom.Scott stepped under the shower, allowing the cold water to wash away the remnants of sleep clinging to his skin. The crisp sting of water jolted his senses to life.
Failed to obey
Kelly staggered backward as the deafening sound of the gunshot rang out. Her eyes widened in terror, and her gaze locked on the body of Mario lying lifelessly in a pool of blood. His eyes were still wide open, staring blankly at the night sky, and a thick stream of blood seeped from the gaping wound in his head—precisely where the bullet had torn through.Her heart pounded violently in her chest as she continued staring at the corpse, frozen in horror. Slowly, her trembling gaze rose to meet the eyes of the man who had pulled the trigger.His weapon was still raised—and now it was aimed directly at her.Kelly’s heart skipped a beat as the cold metal glinted in the moonlight, and she swallowed hard, her throat dry and tight. She instinctively scanned the area, desperate to find an escape route. But escape was a hopeless dream. They were surrounded—heavily armed men stood on all sides, watching her like hawks, their fingers already caressing their triggers.She knew that if she so much
Dead weight
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Aunt Kelly gasped, panic choking her voice as her chest heaved up and down. Her heart thundered like a war drum, and beads of cold sweat streamed down her temples and across her face like a leaking faucet.Mario, tense behind the wheel, glanced sideways at her, his grip tightening on the steering wheel."What do we do, ma’am?" he asked quickly, his voice tight with dread. "If we get caught… it's over for us."Kelly didn’t answer right away. She sat there in frozen silence, her mind spinning violently as it tried to pull together a plan—any plan—that could get them out of the disaster unfolding in real time. The situation was slipping through her fingers like sand, and she knew it.Then, with a sharp inhale, she finally spoke."Step on it," she ordered through clenched teeth. "Push the accelerator. Go as fast as you can. We need to lose him, create enough distance, and then find a place to hide—somewhere dark, isolated. Somewhere he won’t see us."Mario’s eyebro
Secrets in the trunk
The shiny black car pulled over after arriving at the bridge, and the driver turned to face Kelly, who was seated silently in the back seat.“We’re here, ma’am,” he said softly.“Good. The bodies should be here,” Kelly replied as she pushed the door open and stepped outside. The driver also exited the car.The two of them stood beside the vehicle, their eyes scanning the entire bridge. The night air was chilly, and the gentle wind made Kelly’s long black cloak flutter behind her like a banner of shadows.She glanced around the area until her gaze finally landed on several indistinct shapes lying motionless a few meters ahead.“That should be it,” she murmured, her eyes narrowing and fixating on the dark figures sprawled across the bridge. “Come on.”Without another word, they advanced, their footsteps echoing faintly against the concrete.At first, the darkness made it hard to identify what the shapes were. But as they drew closer, it became clear—bodies. Four of them. Lying in grotes
Lies
Back in Italy…Scott’s EstateThe sun was beginning to set, and the day was slowly descending into darkness.Aunt Kelly walked briskly into her room after leaving the dining hall, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. She made her way straight to her wardrobe, opened it, and pulled out a long, black cloak. With practiced ease, she wrapped it around herself and fastened it at the front. The cloak was long enough to cover her legs entirely and came with a deep hood that shadowed her face in darkness when worn.She grabbed her purse and car keys from the nearby dresser, then turned toward the exit. But just as she was about to reach the door, it slid open with a soft whoosh.She froze mid-step, her heart skipping a beat.To her relief, it was only Edward.Letting out a sigh of relief, she placed a hand on her chest. “You scared me,” she murmured, trying to catch her breath.Edward stepped inside and paused, taking in her unusual attire. His gaze traveled from head to toe,
