Austin's stare was shot from afar. His eyes brightened with so much bewilderment.
"I'm going to ask you once again, what do you think that you are doing?" There was an obvious frown on his face as he spoke.
But Ariel could not hide her stiff hatred for him as she went ahead to speak.
"I just want to ask you one question." She began.
His eyes were farrowed as he waited for whatever she had to spew, tagging slightly below his thigh with his index fingers.
"What makes you think that you can get a drink here? Right after you stole your way into this place?" She glared at him with so much fury in her voice.
"And I should return that question to you, what makes you think that I stole my way into this place?" He responded.
Luther laughed out, his voice lashed with so much mockery.
"Spear us little fools."
"And we didn't come here to utter words with you. Not again. We just came here to tell you to leave."
"Or what?" Austin's hands were clenched and his stare was fierce.
"Or you, we are going to get you out of this place ourselves." Luther resounded.
But the words sounded so funny to Austin that he could not hold back his laughter anymore.
"Let's see how you are going to do that, maybe through your so-called imaginary friend?" He laughed out loud.
His mockery was like a piercing stab through Austin's direction, and he didn't hold back his anger even for a single moment.
He spotted the expert guard who was standing at the far end of the hall and he stamped his feet quickly toward him.
He soon reached out to him and the guard shot a really confused look at him since his stare was really strong and he could already sense that something was wrong.
"Is there anything wrong?" He couldn't help but inquire almost immediately.
"How can everything not be wrong when thieves are allowed to walk in and out of here so freely?" He responded.
The face of the security officer spun around with shock, unable to make out words for a while.
The party was strictly by invitation, Ms. Jane had certainly made sure of that looking at the current situation of the family.
With the heavy security, there was no way that what he just said was right. But even at that, the guard knew that he had to be at his most professional self.
The place was littered with the most influential persons in the world, he didn't want to get on the wrong foot with any of them so he said politely.
"I think that you must be making a mistake sir." He replied and that flared up Luther's anger as he growled.
"Are you trying to say that I am lying?" He responded swiftly, still growling at the guard that stood before him.
"That's not what I meant sir." The guards tried to speak calmly but then, Luther would not listen.
"So you realize who I am? Do you realize that you are nothing compared to me?" Luther frowned even harder.
"Sir, be assured that everything is safe around here and there is certainly no way that anyone with such a reputation will gain entrance into this place.
The tickets were prepared directly by Ms. Jane, PA to the heir.
The more he spoke, the more Luther's anger flared up.
Finally, Ariel walked gradually toward their direction and opened her mouth to say.
"I can't believe that you are arguing with the youngest millionaire in the city, the one with the potential of becoming one of the top three most influential men in the city." She announced with so much pride in her voice.
Hearing these words made the face of the security officer break up into cold sweat and a large lump went down his spine almost immediately.
"I'm relieved, sorry sir." He shivered right on the spot.
"If you are sorry, then you should be finding your way to following me and getting rid of that piece of trash," Luther responded.
There was little to nothing that the guard could do about this now. He followed them closely from behind until they finally got to Austin who was enjoying himself.
"Just look at him. Getting the opportunity to have a feast when he isn't even worth it." Ariel gritted her teeth with a spice of irritation.
Meanwhile, the guard shot a quick stare at the human standing right before him.
He was confused. He was not looking bad or good either. Plain, unlike the rest of the people that were gathered there.
It was sure that he wasn't anyone that held any great social status.
"Then why would Ms. Jane get him an invitation?" The thoughts clouded his mind.
"Is there a problem?" Austin said nonchalantly, standing up from the point that he was sitting on and shooting a stare at the security officer.
"Sir, do you have an invitation?" He inquired just to be sure.
"If I don't, why do you think that I would be here?" He responded.
There was a sudden pause before he went ahead to say what he wanted to say with a really deep sigh.
"I'm afraid but you will have to leave." The guard said
For Austin, the words came with a really deep shock.
Random thoughts ran through his mind as he paired around towards Luther who had a smirk on his face and back at the security officer.
"I want to repeat what you just said. You want me to leave? Even when I got this invitation from the personal PA of this company?" Austin inquired with a furrowed brow.
The guards were fighting with him. He shot a stare at Luther and back at Austin.
The thoughts that clouded his mind were the fact that Luther could do a lot of things to him that were unimaginable while Austin. He was a practical nobody.
Even though it was against work ethics, this was just his way of choosing the lesser of two evils.
"Yes, you will have to leave." He affirmed his words.

The air thrummed with car horns and the chatter of bustling crowds.Vincent, a man built like a linebacker with a surprisingly gentle touch, wrestled with a tangled mess of shopping bags.Ramsey, ever the joyful friend since childhood, sported a wide grin and a mischievous glint in his eyes as he nudged a particularly stubborn bag Vincent's way.And Austin… they all piled up in Vincent's sleek black SUV."Man, slow down there, Santa Claus," Ramsey chuckled, dodging a rogue shopping bag with a practiced swoop. "We just need a few suits, not enough to redecorate Austin's entire apartment."Austin, the object of their playful jabs, followed behind, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. "Hey, I gotta step up my game, right? Can't walk into my first official day as a manager looking like a college freshman anymore. Not in a hoodie and jeans, please."Vincent snorted. "Don't worry, Aust. By the end of this shopping spree, you'll look sharper

A grin split Vincent's face as Austin finished explaining his plan. "That's a brilliant idea, man," he said, bumping fists with Austin in a friendly greeting. Ramsey, ever the strategist, chimed in with a thoughtful nod."And remember," Ramsey added, "we're always here to back you up if things get hairy.""Yeah, thanks a bunch, bro," Austin replied, his smile widening as he shook both their hands. It was a simple gesture, a silent language of trust and camaraderie that spoke volumes.Ramsey, however, wasn't quite finished. "Hold on, Austin," he interjected, turning towards Vincent. "Don't you think we should get some supplies? The manager needs to look the part, right?""Right on, man!" Vincent exclaimed, snapping his fingers in agreement. The rest of them echoed his sentiment, a wave of realization washing over the group.Laughter bubbled out of Austin.

Saint gnawed on his thumbnail, pacing like a caged wolf on the narrow balcony overlooking the bustling city below. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the cool night air.He replayed the events in his head, calculating the timeline with morbid satisfaction. By now, Rose had to be gone. He was sure she would be dead.He'd orchestrated a "tragic accident" – a forced jump off a moving boat, playing on her crippling fear of water. In his mind, it was a foolproof plan.Rose had aquaphobia and being on the sea would have raised her blood pressure. And for her to even jump into the sea would have been so bad on her.Rose wouldn't have lasted a second in the water. Her aquaphobia was legendary, guaranteed to send her blood pressure skyrocketing and her heart

A steaming mug of coffee cupped in her hands, Ariel scanned the bustling coffee shop.Her eyes snagged on a flash of familiar blonde hair – Crystal, pushing open the door with a flourish. Relief washed over Ariel, momentarily eclipsing the bitter aftertaste of her previous conversation with Andrew.Maybe Crystal's infectious energy would chase away the lingering tension. Crystal was so anxious to know about her plans and here they were, ready to spill out.Ariel slammed her mug down a little too hard, the clatter drawing Crystal's attention. A wide grin stretched across Crystal's face as she sashayed over, her hips swaying with practiced ease. Crystal saw her at one go and walked towards her with a big smile on her face."I beat you when it comes to time but it seems like you win the Speed Demon award again," Crystal announced as she slid into the seat opposite Ariel.Ariel laughed, the sound was genuine despite the knot of worry tightening in her stomach. "Always," she conceded. "Tho

"He's headed to South America. That's far away." Christian muttered more like he was talking to himself and still looking at the tab before him, "He's hopping continents, Christian. That's a long way from the mess he made here." Disbelief laced Christian's voice.Saint, that criminal was traveling very far away from his crimes. He was trying very hard to slip further and further away."He's got a mission, Psalms," Christian said, a steely glint entering his eyes. "And we're going to help him complete it."Psalms scoffed. "By letting him waltz off to South America and hoping he spills his guts on some exotic beach? Christian, that's a crazy plan.""Not crazy," Christian corrected, his voice firm. "Risky, yes. But it's the only way to get him. Think about it, Psalms. If we follow him and get close enough to gain his trust, we can get him to talk. He might slip up, and reveal details about other operations, bigger players. Evidence the cops can't ignore."A tense silence rose between the

The sterile white walls of the hospital seemed to press down on Vincent as he shuffled behind Ramsey and Austin, their laughter bouncing off the polished floor. Outside, the late afternoon sun casts long shadows, promising the freedom Vincent craved."That's crazy, you know," Austin cackled, nudging Ramsey with his elbow. "Just leave him there. He'd probably start talking to pigeons again."Ramsey slapped Austin on the back, a booming laugh erupting from his chest. "Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Vincent, the pigeon whisperer."Vincent rolled his eyes, a familiar warmth blooming in his chest despite their teasing. "So, you're saying I've always been a couple of fries short of a happy meal? That I've always been crazy, yeah?"Ramsey grinned, a playful glint in his eyes. "Everyone knows that. Vinnie and Trouble, 5&6. You're our resident nutter."The playful banter felt foreign after weeks of IV drips and endless beeping monitors. Vincent winced as he remembered the metallic tang of bloo
