I opened my eyes and saw a policeman hitting a rod on the steel bars of the cell. I closed my eyes and pretended I did not see anything and at the same time, I tried to shut out the noise. I heard the door open and then footsteps that only seemed to be getting closer and closer. In the next minute, without my expectation, I was jerked to my feet by a policeman. "Get up lazybones!" the policeman said to me. He took me to a room and made me sit on a chair with a table in from of me and two chairs on the opposite side of the table. After a while, a man and a woman came into the room. They both sat on one chair each and placed some documents on the table. "Do you know what you are here for?" the woman asked me. I shook my head in response to her question."That's what I thought," she said."So you know for sure that I am innocent?" I asked her. "Innocent of what?" the man who was seated next to her asked me."Of killing the woman who was found dead in my house," I replied to him. "So
"Calm down sir!" Mrs. Hemsworth shouted at him. "What is wrong with you?!" she asked him. "Take your seat and keep your mouth shut!" she instructed Mr. Thomas. "My apologies madam." Mr. Thomas said and sat down as he was told by her. Mrs. Thomas took a deep breath to calm herself before finally speaking, "First of all, let us understand that the woman, in this case, is already dead. We cannot get information from a dead body can we?" Mrs. Hemsworth questioned. "Of course not. That is why she cannot testify against him." Mr. Thomas said, interrupting Mrs. Hemsworth. "I thought I told you to stay quiet." Mrs. Hemsworth said to him, in annoyance. "Sorry." Mr. Thomas mumbled and turned away."And you mentioned that there were two men who came in after she died right?" she asked me. "Yes," I answered her."Will you be able to describe those men to the artist?" Mrs. Hemsworth asked me. "No..." I said to her. "It was too dark for me to identify their faces. They did not see me either
"The fact remains that I need to be married. It can be a contract marriage if you want. You are the perfect choice for me. Others will just do it for my money and lay stupid conditions." she said to me. "So your best option was a poor nobody who was just caught for a crime he did not commit?" I asked her, feeling that both she and her grandfather had lost their minds or had an alternate plan. "You are honest and kind at heart and not for a price. Plus, you are gorgeous so you can pass for a male model or most likely a hot bodyguard. And to be honest, I want to get to know you." she said and batted her eyelashes at me. I looked at her grandfather and then at her. I gave it a thought for almost five full minutes as I paced from side to side with an aching stomach. Most likely it would be the excess hunger I've been through in the past and the overworking at a minimal paying block factory that gave me my god-like body and rock-hard abs. And come to think of it, it's not like I have
[Night time]:Loki stepped into the mansion in the middle of the night, his shirt was stained with blood and his heart was pounding like never before.Loki went up the stairs continuously and tried to suppress the pains at the same time. Finally, he reached his room and opened the door only to find his twin brother seated on his bed and watching the door which Loki had just opened."Where did you go?" Loki's twin brother, Dean, asked him.Loki ignored Dean's question and went passed Dean and into his bathroom to wash up. Just as Loki took off his shirt and put it in the sink, his twin walked into the same bathroom. Dean turned on the water and helped Loki in rinsing off the blood stains on the shirt Loki had just taken off, all while in silence.Loki left Dean to it and entered the shower."When will this stop? You are not exactly helping things." Dean asked Loki while Loki was in the shower."It will end when I say it will," Loki answered him and increased the shower so he wouldn't h
"What?" I asked Clarissa."Oh... Oh! It's nothing." Clarissa said and continued eating."So, Alec. Can you tell me more about yourself? I mean, we will be getting married soon so as a wife, I need to know." Clarissa said to me."How soon are we getting married?" I asked her. "Tomorrow," Clarissa answered me."Okay," I said. "So can you tell me more about yourself?" Clarissa asked again."No. That part of me does not concern you in any way." I replied to Clarissa."What is wrong with her wanting to know you more? Answer her questions." her grandfather said to me."You are the one who wanted me to marry your granddaughter without even saying anything against me being a stranger sir. You both just have to deal with it." I started and got up. Clarissa held my hand, stopping me from leaving in the process."I'm so sorry I asked. Please forgive me." Clarissa begged and getting up from her seat, hugged me from behind.I don't know why but her presence gave me nothing but bad vibes and this h
The two men came and stood right in front of me and Clarissa, "Who is this that you have here?" the second spoke up."Babe I forgot to tell you about these two," Clarissa said to me."Loki, Dean, Meet my husband-to-be. His name is Alec Stone." Clarissa said."And Alec baby, these are the Vandelson Twins. Loki and Dean Vandelson." Clarissa added. The mention of their names took me down memory lane. "Those were the cousins the dying woman was talking about. And their voices... They were the same people who had come into my house that night. It was because of them that I got caught for nothing by the police and not just that. I am sure they are responsible for the death of that woman.I was being stressed in the police station and got myself caught in the web of this spider called Clarissa. And all this took place because of then!"Move aside man," Dean said and pushed me aside as he proceeded closer to Clarissa. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Dean asked Clarissa."How do y
The two brothers went into their limousine and set off. I was left standing there with no idea where to go.I stopped a taxi, while having no money to pay him, and I gave him the address which Clarissa had given me. Soon I was back in front of the gates of her mansion and as soon as I stepped out, the driver requested his payment, "Let me get the money, sir. I will be right back." I said to the taxi driver, with the hope that Clarissa would change her mind and give me money to pay for the taxi.However, on hearing my reply, the taxi driver's face changed immediately. He stepped out of the car and stood in front of me with a serious look on his face, "Look, sir, I do not want to cause a scene here. I have been played this way before. You want to go into that mansion and disappear without paying up. Give me my money right now." the taxi driver said to me."I told you already that I will be right back. You can trust that I am not a thief." I said and turned away from the Taxi driver to
"What are you two doing in my home?!" Clarissa yelled at Dean and Loki."I came to see my beloved," Dean answered. Clarissa rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest, "Get out." Clarissa said to Dean.Dean got up but Loki remained seated and grabbed the remote which was already next to him. Loki turned on the TV and started to change channels while Clarissa stood in bewilderment. "What do you think you are doing?" Clarissa asked Loki."Hello?" Dean said, waving his hand in front of Clarissa. He caught her attention and finally put his hand back down."I came here to tell you that I am willing to take you back. As soon as you render a heartfelt apology to me and my brother." Dean said to Clarissa, his head held high."What?!" Clarissa exclaimed. I knew that this was the moment she would have wanted me to step in and so that was what I did.I went to where they were standing and I took my place, standing next to Clarissa and putting my arm around her waist, "She will not be r
