Lucy was more than nervous, waiting outside. Yeah, that was no important job like her mother would say, since it was for no grand company, not to earn millions a year. But to Lucy, that was a life changing job. The beginning of her life, her own life.

She was waiting outside the manager’s office, since the interview would be with that person. She had no idea if it was a man or a woman.

“Thank you, Mr. Fischer!” A man’s voice echoed from the door that was being opened. The person who left was a middle-aged man, with a gentle smile. He looked at Lucy and moved his head as in a greeting.

After he left, she looked again at the door and a very blond man, around his fifties and a few white hairs in his temples was looking at her. His eyes were very light, but she was unsure if blue or green.

“Miss Fairfax, I suppose?” He asked and Lucy stood up, nodding. “A pleasure to meet you! I am Arnold Fischer, the manager of this company. Please, come in!”

“Thank you, Mr. Fischer!” Lucy said and

    “Rindley, come on! It’s lunch time!” Augustina had called her beloved son, who had been playing with Lucy, outside. “Come, sis, it’s time for us to eat,” the little boy had said, already up and offering a hand to Lucy, while the other one had been dusting off his clothes. Lucy had been a very shy girl, therefore she’d been unsure whether she’d been also invited to eat, since her mother had not called her. She’d said ‘Rindley’, not ‘kids’. “I… must I go?” shed asked her brother in a small voice. “Of course, Lu. How silly!” he had said and held her hand, smiling at his sister. “She didn’t call my name,” Lucy had insisted. Last time Augustina had called Rindley and Lucy had followed him, she’d been scolded and punished. Rindley had crouched in front of the little blonde girl and patted her head. “Lu, you are my sister. If I go to eat, you also will go to eat. We are twins, remember?”“But momm–”“Don’t worry, Lu—I’ll protect you this time!” he’d assured her and put a hand on his c

    As soon as Lucy arrived home, she went to her room, with a happy smile on her face. But she didn't even have the opportunity to take her jacket off, for Rindley barged into her room.“Oh, my Gosh! Rindley!” Lucy was startled by his sudden entrance, and her hand went automatically to her chest. “Couldn’t you knock first?”Rindley had a scowl in his face and closed the door with a slam, staring at Lucy. He started to walk in her direction, making Lucy take a step backwards for each step forward he took. “Tell me, Lucy, were you always such a little whore, or has it begun now that you are in college?” he asked her with a dangerous expression, and Lucy frowned, incapable of answering. “Answer me!” “I-I… W-what are you t-talking about?” Lucy stumbled over the bed, when the back of her knee bumped into the piece of furniture. She was looking at her brother in confusion. The words he was saying made no sense in her mind. “I saw you, Lucy!” he screamed, and then his hands were on her shoul

  • The Almighty Heir's Return   Confrontation

    After classes, Brandon left the building and someone blocked his way. Since he was thinking about his life and what to do next, he didn’t see the person’s face right away, but when he did he was a bit surprised. Rindley Fairfax. “Brandon, right?” the man asked, looking at Brandon with a certain… contempt?Although Brandon knew who the guy was, he decided to pretend he didn’t. How could he know? He would have to explain where he first saw Rindley—and it had nothing to do with Lucy, but with the secret he wanted to hold to himself: his family. “And who is asking?” Rindley took a step in Brandon’s direction. Although Rindley was a big man, Brandon was much taller for about a head and, now, filling up. Not that people could really tell, since he used baggy clothes, but even his face was larger. “Don’t play dumb, ok? I know you and Lucy have been more than too friendly. And you, Brandon, seem like the stalker type.” Brandon couldn’t deny that, because he did stalk Lucy on social media

    The weekend arrived and Brandon was supposed to meet Gregory's sister at the fair. Whoever arrived first would wait for the other outside and the two would enter the fair together.While Brandon was waiting for the girl called Ellie, Damon and Lucy arrived at the scene, accompanied by Rindley. Damon wasn't too happy with the company of his fiancee's brother. He hoped this was just a date for the two of them, but with her brother in tow, not even taking Lucy aside and kissing her, he would be able to do.Damon was the first to spot Brandon and he gritted his teeth in anger.“What is this asshole doing here?”Lucy, who still hadn't seen Brandon, was confused. Rindley was looking at a stand of huge pumpkins and hadn't looked in Brandon's direction either.“Oh, the fair is open to anyone who wants to visit Damon.” Lucy said and tugged on his arm, urging him to enter the fair and leave Brandon alone."Maybe this isn't a good place for us to stay, after all, any crap can get in." Damon said

    Everyone around was surprised by Kayle's words. There were many students around who knew Brandon, albeit by sight, and were shocked by the revelation.“Are you going to deny it?” Kayle asked, in an affronted tone. “Answer me, damn it! Are you going to deny that you've been fucking my girl?”"I don't think this is the place to discuss such a matter." Brandon said, glancing around. He didn't want to speak the truth in front of all those people, or they would know who he was, the Heir of the Ashford Family. Also, even though Erika had been a bitch to him, Brandon didn't want to expose her any further.It was possible that some people had already mentioned the young woman's name, after all, the video that Kayle had recorded, with Erika's help, had spread and people believed that Erika and Brandon had gone to the hotel and had been in a compromising situation. Now, after hearing Kayle's words, it would be too easy for them to believe that she and Brandon had actually come to blows.“Oh, is

    “Ah, you’re finally home, dear!” Georgiana happily said it, putting the magazine aside as she got up from the white sofa.She was a very elegant woman, tall, slender. Her very blond hair was almost always tied in an elegant bun at the back of her head. The impeccable make-up, the clothes always feminine tailoring. High shoes with square heels. She was the epitome of the well-educated and completely traditional rich woman.“I went out with Lucy, Mom.” Damon said and Georgiana smiled.“Oh, that's great! And how are things going between you and her? She is such a good girl!” Georgiana adored Lucy, and although the Fairfax were not as wealthy as the Montgomerys, Georgiana felt that the young woman was ideal: pretty, educated, intelligent, and studious. She didn't pick fights, she knew her place. And, of course, Damon was in love, now.“Things are going well.” Damon said and sat down on the couch, followed by his mother. The maid approached and Georgiana asked for refreshments to be served

    “So, how was the fair?” Chung-hee asked Brandon as they drank water after training.“To be honest, it was crap. Kayle showed up and created a scandal.”After Brandon told him what Kayle had done and said, Chung-hee stared at Brandon.“And does anything he said about you and the girl…?”"No!" Brandon defended himself. "She... She tricked me, played with my feelings in a very dirty way, so I would never touch her, romantically. Even if I wasn't in love with someone else. I still have an ounce of dignity and self-respect.”Chung-hee nodded in agreement."Great. I'm glad to hear that. But…why would that boy accuse you?”Brandon thought for a few seconds and shrugged. He'd thought about it and all he could think about was that Erika was the one who told Kayle that."I don't know. Maybe she told him something.”“But why would she do that? She didn't seem to want to be attached to you.""I have no idea.""Why don't you ask her?" Chung-hee suggested and Brandon felt himself in a dilemma: shou

    Ellie was bored and had no one to talk to. Gregory was on a date with a girl and Ellie wanted to go out. She thought about buying some books, but as she was new to town, she didn't know anyone. Except for Brandon.The day before, she'd lied about liking someone. Well, if you consider that the guy was a famous actor… then it was a lie, right? Because that would never happen.So she asked Gregory to give her Brandon's number, as they hadn't exchanged numbers the day before.At the mall, Ellie was waiting for Brandon to arrive when a guy approached her."Hello!" He said, very cheerfully and Ellie looked up, meeting a tall man with blue eyes so dark you had to look closely to see that they were blue. His dark hair and tanned skin made him look very handsome in Ellie's eyes. She swallowed hard.“Oh, hi! What can I help you with?" she asked sympathetically, trying not to sound like an idiot.“Can I sit here?” he asked, flashing a beautiful smile."Hmm, I'm expecting a person, but of course.

    After Peter was dropped off at a house with Ashford security, Gideon went to the hospital to visit Wanda. Her father was there and when Matteo saw his future son-in-law, he decided to talk to him."Ah, Friedrich, can we have a word before you go into Wanda's room?"“Yes, of course, Mr Grayson.” He answered and the two sat on some benches farther away, where there were no people around.“I'll be direct, okay? Wanda and you… Are you really going to get married? I mean, are you a real couple?”Matteo Grayson's question made Gideon frown. He didn't understand why that man decided to ask him something like that.“Yes, we’re going to get married. And yes, we are a real couple. Wanda is the woman of my life, Mr Grayson.”“It's just… She came up with these questions about me forcing her to marry another man if she didn't marry you. I know you've been through the odds and ends, but did anything else happen? Something I don't know about?""No. Wanda is the love of my life, the woman I want to s

    We need to go

    Peter was very competent at what he did and Gideon was thoughtful as he watched the boy working on what he had been asked to do.'If he had had more opportunities, maybe today he would be much better off in life', he thought and looked at Brandon, who didn't take his eyes off Peter.Brandon was worried. He knew that if he didn't hear from the Clan, he would be forced to travel, but without being sure about Krasner’s death, he couldn't afford that luxury. He would be risky and falling again from the mad doctor's hands would be certain death.It wasn't that Brandon feared dying. No, he was not afraid of death. Not when it came to himself. But if he was captured and killed, Gideon and Lucy would be after him for sure and they would most likely suffer the same fate. And that Brandon could never risk."I got it!" Peter announced and started rummaging around. “Their initial system is rudimentary, but despite that, it's all well done and protected. Afterwards, the bastards managed to put up

    “So, boy. Here's the thing: we need you to hack a system for us. We are without our agent at the moment and I heard that you are a formidable hacker.” Gideon said as he popped a piece of gum into his mouth. He didn't smoke, never had, but when he got too nervous, he liked to chew gum.The boy adjusted his glasses again and looked at Gideon, still amazed.“Yeah… Is this some kind of test?” he asked and Gideon rolled his eyes."I'm not a cop trying to catch you with your hand in the cruse." Gideon sighed. “I need you to get into that system. I need to know if a person is still alive.”“Look, then I think you should go to the police. I am not…"“Enough with the small talk, boy!” Gideon said and approached the boy, who took a few steps back until he bumped into a trash can in the street and almost fell with it. But Gideon caught him by the collar of his shirt. "I need it now. I will pay you well for this.”Peter remembered the wad of cash his father was given and didn't doubt that the man

    Gideon was in the hospital room with Wanda, reading one of her favorite books for her, Jane Eyre, when his cell phone rang.“Just a moment, my love.” Gideon asked, raising one finger and Wanda, who was more than pale in the face and smiled slightly, in agreement.Outside Wanda's ward, Gideon answered the phone.“Hi, Bro. What is going on?""Rindley still hasn't been found, but we have a plan." Brandon said on the other end of the line and Gideon listened intently.Upon entering back the room, Wanda was more than awake, looking at Gideon.“I'm going to have to leave for a few moments, honey.” He told her softly.“Gideon… You don't have to go through with this.” She said and sighed. “Our marriage is a sham. You don't have to keep coming here.”He frowned at her and walked over to the bed, sitting in the chair and taking her hand in his.“Do you think I would risk dying for you if I didn't like you?” he asked with an offended tone. “Fuck, I dare say I love you, Wanda!”He notices when he

    Problems

    “It means we have no way of contacting the Clan?” Brandon asked Lucy. He was sitting in a hospital bed, his torso getting wrapped in gauze, while he talked to Lucy on the phone. “I’ll try to find another way. I’ll call Rindley again.” “Ok, love.” Brandon answered and smiled. “I love you, Lucy. And I’m sorry for dragging you into all those problems.”“It is not your fault, baby. Actually, if not for me, you’d have never gone into that trouble.” Lucy said, since Brandon decided to start training because of her, then, he got ‘murdered’ because of her as well. “We were made in heaven.” Brandon laughed, feeling a sting on his flank. The adrenaline was not high anymore running through his veins. The doctor wanted to give him morphine, since he had a great wound on his side, but he denied it, with fear it might make him vulnerable.“Keep still, Brandon! I can hear you’re in pain!” Lucy nagged. “I’ll call my brother.” She finished the call with Brandon, but her heart was clenching, as if

    "My children!" Gareth smiled and spread his arms wide, as if genuinely happy to see the twins and their mates."Father!" Gideon said and broke into a huge smile. “We have something new and we wanted to come and tell you in person.”Gareth looked from one to the other, and then, the four raised their hands and the rings gleamed in the ambient light. Gareth widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows.“Did you get married?” he asked, surprised."Yes! We couldn't take it anymore. After everything that happened, we decided it was necessary. I had no reason to keep putting it off.” Brandon spoke and sounded very calm.“Then… Then we need to celebrate!”For Brandon, it was very strange to have to look at that man who was in his biological father's body, but in reality, he was nothing more than a crazy doctor, capable of anything to put the crazy creations of his mind into action.A party was arranged and the four had to pretend that everything was fine, that they were a happy family.“So, any

    Peter was more than shocked by everything he had just read. So he ran to the driver and asked him to take him to the Ashford mansion.Gideon was waking up next to Wanda and smiled to see his wife who would soon be his wife, sleeping quietly.'She's finally mine!' He thought proud. 'My wife. Just mine!'.When he was waking up Wanda with kisses, ready to have morning sex, someone knocked on his bedroom door and Gideon growled in frustration as Wanda laughed softly.“Good morning, Harold. What there was?" He asked angrily."Mr. Peter is down there and he said it is a matter of greatest importance." The butler spoke. "He is even having difficulty breathing."Gideon agreed with his head and inspired deeply.“Okay, tell him that I'm already going down, okay? Let me just take a shower. ”"Yes sir."Gideon closed the bedroom door and saw Wanda sitting on the bed, her breasts from the outside. He approached her more than he quickly and ran his tongue on one of the nipples."Love!"He laid her,

    The car drove through the gates and soon parked. The men put Brandon and Gideon on the stretchers and when it was time to put Peter on, they made fun of him because he was shaking. “This one, poor guy… He was the most affected.” One of the guards spoke in a mocking tone. “Look at him, poor guy. So frail. He got in trouble just hanging out with the Ashfords.” “Ow… I'm straight, but these guys are hot.” “I wanted to be like this… I saw them awake. What a beautiful eyes! That must be why they get such beautiful girls!” “Are we going to have to inject them with more of the hallucinogen?” “The boss didn't say anything about that. They are sleeping. Let's put them in the rooms and wait for further orders.” The men continued to talk about subjects that neither Brandon nor Gideon were interested in. Once in the rooms, Brandon opened his eyes slightly and looked around as best he could. He figured he was being filmed, so he didn't wake up right away. He started to move, like he did in
