Barry had finished watering the flowers in his garden and was now attending to his koi fish.

He caught a whiff of something delicious coming from the kitchen which told him Snow was cooking.

Snow was a wonderful cook. It's been five days since they moved into their new home, and it's been nothing but bliss.

At first, Snow was afraid of the luxury in the mansion but after a day or two, she got used to it.

It was amazing how quickly she adapted and could even give ZEUS voice commands to adjust the lighting, operate the coffee maker and do the cleaning.

Since he moved in, five days ago, Barry enjoyed nothing but peace. For the first time in years, he slept like a baby every night.

Suddenly, ZEUS called out to him. “Sir, I have detected two individuals standing outside the gates.”

Barry glanced at the smart hi-tech wristwatch which was connected to ZEUS.

“Who are they, ZEUS?” Barry asked, swiping the screen of his watch. “We haven't had any visitors since we moved in.”

  • Barry's wedding anniversary date

    Barry seldom did anniversaries the ordinary way. For a man who had moved nations with a phone call and halted crises with a signature, loving his wife demanded nothing short of the extraordinary.So this year, for their wedding anniversary, he chose Paris. And not just Paris—he rented out the entire Louvre Gallery. The world’s most famous museum.Veronica’s eyes sparkled like a child seeing fireworks for the first time. She had always been a sucker for art. They slowly approached the Mona Lisa, the crown jewel of the Louvre. With no tourists crowding around, no flashes or whispers, the painting seemed almost alive."It's even more breathtaking without the crowds," Veronica whispered, leaning her head on his shoulder."Anything for you," Barry replied, smiling down at her.She laughed gently, about to respond when suddenly, the silence was shattered by a loud, arrogant voice that echoed through the hall."Hey! What the hell are you two doing here?"Barry stiffened.He turned slowly,

  • Home

    Sebastian stepped over Senator Branson, who was curled in a ball on the floor sobbing like a child, and walked to the corner where the girls were huddled. They were still obeying his command, their eyes squeezed tightly shut."Good job, ladies," he said, his grave voice now returned to its familiar, calm tone. "You can open your eyes now."Daisy kept her eyes shut. "Sebastian? Is that really you? You're not hurt, are you?" Her voice was small and worried.A soft smile touched Sebastian's lips. "No, young mistress, I am perfectly fine. Now, open your eyes. Everything is alright."Slowly, Daisy and then Debby opened their eyes. They saw Sebastian standing before them, not a single hair out of place. There was no sign of a struggle. He seem perfectly fine and the bad men were gone. Letting out cries of relief, they rushed forward and threw their arms around him, burying their faces in his jacket. They didn't know how he did it but they were glad to be rescued by him."I knew you'd come

  • Harold's judgement

    As Senator Branson continued to sob and writhe on the floor, Sebastian turned his burning gaze to Harold Grant.Harold was drenched, his clothes soaked through with cold sweat. He trembled violently, his last shred of confidence completely gone."Please," he begged, his voice a ragged whisper. "Sebastian, right? I... I don't know what came over me. I just wanted to hurt Barry. I didn't think—""Harold Grant," Sebastian interrupted, his voice devoid of any mercy. He opened the Black Book, and wrote Harold's name with the black pen. "You have two options."He looked up, his red eyes locking onto Harold's."Option one: You will spend the rest of your natural life as a pig. You will live in the mud, eat slop, and have no memory of the man you once were. You will be slaughtered in due time, like any other animal."Harold's eyes bulged. "What? No!""Option two," Sebastian continued, relentless. "You will become a servant to a notoriously cruel lord. You will be his property, to be beaten an

  • The two choices

    Senator Branson stared, his mind reeling. "Judgement? What judgement?""This is how it works," Sebastian explained, his voice calm and horribly reasonable. "You will be given two choices. The decision you make will shape the rest of your existence. Choose wisely."Branson swallowed. His hands trembled by his sides. “Two choices?” he repeated, as if asking to buy more time."Option one," Sebastian began. "Your firstborn son dies tonight, peacefully in their sleep. You will live the rest of your life with that guilt, but at least your other kids would be hale and alive."Branson's blood ran cold. "My firstborn son? No! I can't. I can't choose that!""Option two," Sebastian continued, as if he hadn't spoken. "You will live the rest of your life on this earth, healthy and whole, but completely and permanently stripped of your manhood."Branson felt a chill crawl down his spine. Even Harold was shaken by the second option."That's not fair!" Branson wailed, his voice cracking. "Those are i

  • The black book

    Sebastian stepped fully into the room, his presence seeming to block the very air from escaping. Daisy and Debby brightened up the moment they saw him. "Sebastian!" They cried out in unison, their voices choked with relief. "Please, save us."He didn't look at them. His burning red gaze remained fixed on the two men. "Close your eyes, girls," he commanded, his voice as cold as ice. "And turn away. This will be over soon."Senator Branson stumbled backward, his heart pounding against his ribs. "Who... who the hell are you?" he stammered, panic seizing him. This was no ordinary man. He could tell by the dark aura radiating from his body. Sebastian came to a stop, calmly straightening the white cuffs of his shirt. "I am Barry Sullivan's butler," he stated. "His loyal and faithful servant. You have made the grave mistake of taking those he loves. Now, I am going to give both of you so much pain and suffering that you will beg for the sweet release of death.""Shoot him!" Harold Grant

  • Sebastian, the demon butler

    Sebastian sliced through the afternoon traffic and pulled up in front of the school. There were police cars, a small crowd, and people clustered on the sidewalk. There was a sudden tight, wrong feeling in his chest. He instinctively knew something was wrong. He climbed from the SUV and walked toward the commotion. The principal, pale and shaking, saw him and hurried over.“Mr. Sebastian,” she said, voice thin with fear.He kept his voice steady. “What happened here?”A uniformed officer stepped forward. “Are you Daisy and Debby’s guardian?”Sebastian looked at the officer with a calm expression on his face. “Yes. Where are my girls?”The officer explained as best he could. “I’m sorry, sir. There was an incident. The girls were abducted by two armed men. They shot a security guard and a teacher. We’re doing everything we can. We’ve already put out an APB and are reviewing street cameras.” Most people would have freaked out. But not Sebastian. Sebastian did not show any sign of pani
