LYCAN'S HIDDEN LOVE

Vicious Truth

Chapter 12 –

At the entrance of JR,

The loud horn of the taxi brought Aranya back to reality. The taxi stopped by the entrance of Jarnsaxa Residence. Aranya paid for the taxi and turned to look at what type of place Mr Karen would choose for his date.

Aranya thought her eyes weren’t enough to witness the majestic entrance of Jarnsaxa Residence. The magnificent appearance of Jarnsaxa Residence made her open her mouth wide enough to wonder and her eyes glittered with the exposure of flashed lights.

Aranya’s eyes trailed to the logo of the Jarnsaxa Residence, “Woah... It looked majestic and what’s that in the logo? They have trident symbol in their logo, what does that mean? Jarnsaxa Residence, mighty as the name sounds!” she uttered.

Articulating the names of the restaurant, Aranya wandered across the corridor. A doorman at the entrance stopped Aranya from entering looking at her dress, “Excuse me miss, and share your code?”

“Code! What code? I am not aware of it,” Akshara said by gesturing uplifting her shoulders.

The doorman in the entrance explained to her, “Miss, we give our guests a unique code to share while they enter. If you don’t have the code, you are not allowed to enter.”

“So I need the code to enter?” Aranya questioned the doorman.

The doorman replied, “You got me right, Miss.”

“Oh man, this is how my destiny curses me. It's fine, can you hand over these files to the man named Mr Karen Redclaws, CEO of Inno Swap Corporation?” Aranya exhaled her breath after tagging the name of her boss in detail.

The response from the doorman shocked her, “Sir, you have an emotionless face. Do you get trained for that? (After a pause) Oh, don’t say, you didn’t know him. He has been displayed in the large banners in and around the city.”

A rich man and his girlfriend, who had been cuddling from their car to entrance, interrupted the conversation of Aranya with the doorman, “Excuse me. Can you check our codes and let us enter?”

The man said while pulling the hair curls of the girl burying his head in the neckline of the girl who accompanied, since those things are common to witness, the doorman didn’t mind their act. But for Aranya, it was a forbidden thing to display their lust in public.

Aranya told them, “Can you not do this thing in public? Since everyone is watching you?”

The man turned his face to Aranya and eyed her from head to toe, “My... my... goodness. A beauty is concerning about public...”

The man wiggled his shoulder and moved towards Aranya. But she shared him a sharp look and shrunk her face uttering, “Disgusting...”

The man left the girl he brought and flirted with Aranya, “I know the value and I know what to display in public and what to retain in private. A beauty like you should be worshipped in my private chambers. You can enjoy all my luxuries... Come with me.”

Aranya stopped the approaching man and said, “You are a mind-rotten person. But that girl deserves some dignity. She deserves some respect. I am not your type. Keep moving and don’t ever be spotted in my eyes. I don’t know what I will do to erase you from this world.”

The doorman interrupted the rich man and Aranya to check the codes of the couples. He allowed them to enter the restaurant of Jarnsaxa Residence while Aranya kept on pestering the wallet to allow her to enter.

The doorman looked at Aranya, she immediately asked, “Why did you allow these types of persons. Huh, never mind and it’s none of my business. Can you please allow me to hand over this file to my boss? If not, he would kill me.”

“I seek your apology, miss, my services are limited. I am helpless. Since you don’t have any codes, please do let me do my work,” the doorman shooed Aranya from blocking the entrance.

“What do you mean, your services are limited? It’s just simple work, deliver this file to him. I need to hand over this; it’s my life or death journey for me. Please help. (Hesitation was marked on the face of the doorman) oh, I figured it out, call your price?” Aranya asked the wallet in a lower tone and waited for a positive response from him.

The word ‘price’ indeed triggered the nerves of the doorman and he busted in anger, “You can’t bribe me. The management is paying me highly. And I don’t need anything to do my job. Just don’t make a fuss around here and don’t ruin the reputation of this Jarnsaxa Residence. Go away.”

The doorman held her arms to drag her out of the entrance, Aranya hectored him, “Don’t, shoo me. Do you know who I am? Are you ready to face the consequences?”

“Are you suffering from memory loss?” the doorman asked her.

“Probably no; why do you ask?”

“Then, how do I know about you? It’s none of my concern. Miss, please return and let me do my job peacefully and come back.” the doorman said.

Aranya was made to wait in the entrance for Karen, and the waiting killed her energy. With Karen's deadline approaching, time was running out to kill her. She shook her head and devised a strategy to enter the Jarnsaxa Residence and hand over the data.

Aranya cooked numerous plans to enter but all went in vain. The doorman ignored her. The head waiter happens to look at Aranya for a while and enquired about her with the doorman.

“Who is she?” the head waiter asked the doorman.

“She is just a crazy girl who intends to lose my current job.”

“What crazy girl? She has a nice face but went crazy. Shoo her away, if she is caught in the eyes of the manager, then we will join her venturing like crazy.”

Aranya overheard their conversation and headed to them to confront them, “Hey, who is crazy? You both are crazy. Do you know who I am?”

The doorman exhaled, “You have been asking the same question to all men. I am damn sure you escaped from the lunatic centre asking men around about you?”

Aranya’s temper was perked with the doorman’s words, “You... you will bow me if you know my identity.”

“Wait, let her speak. Miss, I am listening. You can tell me,” the head waiter asked Aranya ignoring the doorman.

“Don’t let her speak, she is crazy. I am telling you after observing for hours,” the doorman interrupted before Aranya could speak to the head waiter.

The head waiter ignored the doorman’s words, “Miss, I am all ears, tell me,” he grinned.

Aranya quickly rummaged her brain to pull a better idea, “I am...”

The headwaiter and the door man was eager to hear her identity, Aranya begin again, “I am... (She thought inwardly: ‘please forgive me Mr Amber Eyes’) I am... fiancé of Mr Karen Redclaws.”

The doorman was shocked and saluted Aranya. The head waiter was stunned by the actions of the door man and so asked about that, “Why are you acting strangely? You didn’t need to do all these things. Stop acting weird.”

The head waiter called Aranya again and again, “Miss, you are Mr Karen Redclaws’ fiancé?”

Aranya asked the doorman, “Didn’t you salute me now?”

The doorman laughed at her, “Why would I? If I ever want to do that I prefer to chop my head and hands. (He turned to the headwaiter) Told you she is a crazy girl. Oh, I pity the life of Mr Karen Redclaws to get a crazy girl as his fiancé. Look she is daydreaming in the middle of the night.”

The head waiter laughed heavily at me. “I can’t believe that you are his fiancé. Did he go crazy after honouring the awards...?”

A red Mazda MX-5 Miata car stopped at the entrance of the Jarnsaxa Residence, the wallet rushed to the car to receive the guest, in the mean gap, Aranya hurried to enter the restaurant and ran randomly in search of Karen.

In Liz Fangs Mansion,

The feeble man named Sirius collapsed on the ground soon after he gave feedback on their new launch.

Mr Fangs was shocked to rise on his feet and barked to his maximum, “Rogez, you i***t, what did you give him?”

Rogez told him, “Sir, I gave him our new launch. I don’t expect he would be non-tolerance to dark chocolates.”

“Rogez, mark his feedback on this drink. It is denser than our other signature drinks produced in our factory. Make it mild just like Sirius’s loyalty to me. (He turned to the collapsed Sirius lying on the floor, seated on his knees) Doggie, I marked your feedback and the factory will process it,” Mr Fangs smirked to reveal his evil face.

Sirius struggled with his sore throat and his stomach ached of coughing, “I knew it. Death... (He coughed) Death is the only reward I can earn from you being an employee for three decades.”

Mr Fangs listened to him with an evil smile, “Too much of anything is good for nothing.”

“I have been with you in your ups and downs. Yet you decide to offer me death. You are soulless existences,” Sirius frowned his face to show his regret.

Mr Fangs scratched his neck to remember his past days, “I know, Sirius, we shared friendship than the relation of a boss and his employee. Did you regret when a stranger washed your brain with the froth of greed?”

Sirius coughed heavily and Mr Fangs told him, “Too much dark chocolate is enough to send a man to his grave.”

Sirius was struggling with his life and death with tears-filled eyes and he could hear the voice of Mr Fangs was close to his ears, “And you forget to count your last three numbers. Let me do it for you. Three, two and one”

When Mr Fangs reach one, the soul from Fred’s body had left without a trace. Mr Fangs sharpened his eyes to observe Sirius’ torture of soul leaving his body and he called Rogez, “Rogez, look this man got soul. I envy him and also I pity him for dying of too much chocolate consumption. Give this human a proper burial and compensation to his family to show our gratitude. And, remember humans are non-tolerance of too many dark chocolates. It would kill them.”

The guards who were guarding the doors entered to remove the dead body of Sirius while Rogez nodded and asked, “Sir, about Fred?”

“Just follow the same procedure.” Mr Fangs said casually wiping his hands with a clean tissue.

Rogez was speechless for a while and Mr Fangs asked looking into his silence, “What is it Rogez? What’s stopping you to act upon my commands?”

“Sir, we cannot follow the same procedure to Fred.”

“Can you explain why?”

“Because Fred was sent to hospital on time and saved.”

“How did he receive timely help? Who did it?”

“Young master Nerus.”

Mr Fangs grind his teeth, “That little bat always tends to ruin my plans. Keep everything covered.”

“Yes, Sir. And, Sirius’s blood?”

“I don’t prefer to drink contaminated blood. Dispose him before I tore him into pieces. (He headed to the door to depart but stopped suddenly) Rogez!”

Rogez ran towards Mr Fangs and lowered his head to accept the terms from him, “Sir, on your command.”

“Sirius mentioned his child,” Mr Fangs started his conversation.

Rogez nodded to agree, Mr Fangs continued, “Progress on that thing. The earlier children you brought didn’t taste much. Their blood was contaminated too. It’s been a long since I tasted the tasty warm blood of young children. Rogez, bring that kid from the closet, it's my dinner time.” He licked his lips twisting his tongue, remembering the taste in his mind and left the evil laugh.
