“Get up! get up Mrs Woods, Garnet. Why are you letting him do this to you?” Bill demanded and tried to pull them up while they resisted and Thor just watched in amusement.“What do you think you are doing?” Bill turned to Thor when he saw that no one was willing to listen to him and just ignored him.Thor simply watched him and Bill bit his bottom lip as he remembered how he had been knocked out by this man, he certainly did not want a repeat so he turned to Garnet and held her hands.“Why are you letting this man do this to you, I am here now and I will fix everything all you need to do is…” his words trailed off as his eyes caught something and he leaned closer to have a better look.“What happened to you, why are your wrists looking irritated and red?” He asked and Garnet wrestled her hands out of his hold while blushing then she glanced briefly at Thor before looking down at the ground.Bill caught the look and felt a chill run through him and he swerved to look at Thor, Garnet’s g
The bass of the music vibrated loudly in Thor’s ears as his eyes carelessly roamed around the crowded club in boredom while Laverne danced before him, twirling her tiny waist and sensual figure in the skin tight leather bodysuit and high strapped heels that made her look like a supermodel. He sat lazily on the seat, he did not enjoy being here in this noisy club where people were eager to show off their wealth in the crude and ostentatious manner which had them throwing down impossible amounts of money on alcohol just so that their rivals could look at their tables in envy meanwhile they shirked their responsibilities and were in debt everywhere. The clamor to seem better than everyone else made him nauseated, he would very much rather spend the ridiculous amount he had just spent on a single bottle of Dom Perignon White Gold Jeroboam on an orphanage or a cause that actually bettered someone who needed it but it could not be helped, if he intended on accomplishing his goals then he
“Are you blind?” Garnet yelled in anger as she looked down at her sequin dress which was now dripping with the contents of the cocktail glasses she had been holding before looking up angrily at the no doubt drunken fool who had walked into her and still had the nerve to cuss. She usually kept away from places like this because it almost always turned bad for her, she had thought it would be different because this was Andrea Glen’s party but it was just as tacky and rowdy as any other club and she badly regretted coming.Her eyes widened when she saw the man who was standing before her and staring her down, his shirt sporting a map of some country where she had spilled her drink on him and she gulped wondering what kind of bad luck she had. She stood uncomfortably as she wondered how she would deal with the situation but before either of them could say a word a head peeked out from behind him and Garnet’s shock turned to disdain. “What is she doing here?” Laverne said grumpily, her
After driving for what seemed like the longest time the car came to a stop in front of one of the most expensive apartment buildings in the city and the car came to a stop in front of it. When Laverne got down and left the car in an angry huff.Garnet examined the building in amusement and wondered if Thor was responsible for Laverne living in this apartment. He was a generous man and she wondered if she was generous to his mistress and decided that he probably was.“It seems that I have ruined yours and your girlfriend’s plans tonight, you know that i will not be offended if you went up to be with her.” She said softly as she tried to convince him to leave her alone.Thor did not say a word and just kept staring straight ahead at the road and Garnet huffed in frustration before turning away and looking out the window at the buildings that flew past.“Maya is going to be looking for me, you dragged me out and did not even give me a chance to tell my friend that I was leaving.” She pou
Garnet sat sipping a glass of red wine at the new oak dining table that the constructors had fixed. She listened to her mother chatter like a little bird while they worked on the invitations, menu and decor ideas that the party planner had brought for their approval for the party that they would be holding in the upcoming weekend. Her mother was excited to once again be able to step into the role of a hostess and it was almost infectious if not for the gnawing anxiety which had been turning in the pit of her stomach since that night when Thor had turned around and gone back into the night probably into his lover’s arms.“I am so excited, we will definitely invite the Glen’s also.” Beth said, her eyes shining with excitement at the thought of inviting the people who had believed that their family was doomed forever.She was going to throw the most elaborate party and would be the most excellent host. This was all due to Thor’s money and she had to admit that she was still stunned that
It was finally the day of the party and there was an energy in the air as staff went about putting finishing touches to the elaborate event. The guests were due to arrive in about an hour, Garnet was in her room along with her mother and the make up artist was putting finishing touches to her face and hair yet, Thor had still not made an appearance.He had not called, he had not shown up at the house, she had gone to the office everyday, anxious for him to summon her to his office but it had been crickets and at this point she was worried that he was in a ditch dead somewhere or plotting some evil plan that would badly burn her family. “I can not believe that Thor has not come or even tried to call to find out how far along we have gone with the preparations for the party.” Garnet complained and her mother who had been trying to decide on a jewelry set to wear that evening stopped rifling through the drawers and turned to look at Garnet.“What would you rather have happened? Would it
Thor glanced in amusement at the colors which had been chosen especially for the party. He knew without a doubt that Garnet was responsible for this, she had probably been mad at his disappearance and she wanted to upset him by choosing his least favorite colors, he wondered what other special considerations she had made for the party on his behalf. Well two could play this game that she wanted to play, he was very happy to oblige her.Garnet bit her lip and wondered about the wisdom of her little childish tantrum, of course Thor’s watchful eyes had not missed her special touch on the decor. Now that he was here she no longer thought that it was a good idea but she straightened her back and decided to stand by her decisions even if they came back to bite her. There was a little Orchestra band which had set up on a platform that had been created for them and were playing some music. Garnet pretended not to notice the raised eyebrow Thor had sent in her direction and turned with a smile
The air hung heavy with the scent of jasmine and the joyful thrum of laughter from the revelling partygoers in the ballroom. From the corner of his eye Thor watched as his wife and Bill left the hall hand in hand, with a charming smile he managed to extricate himself from Laverne and Andrea’s hold.He knew Garnet was feeling humiliated and hurt thanks to his actions but he shrugged off the creeping concern and told himself that the pain in her eyes did not bother him. After all, he was only paying back what they had given him. Her family must be stupid to think he would be so generous with them after how they had treated him all these years, this was just the beginning because he intended to make them pay for all they had done to his family.Having excused himself from the boisterous crowd and its endless rounds of clinking champagne flutes and music, Thor silently followed Bill and Garnet into the moonlit embrace of the garden. Even though it had seemed like he had not being paying at
