5 Empress

Two giant huskies landed right in front of Sara's eyes, knocking the men off-balance. They swiftly landed on the floor. Loud growlings and bloodlust filled the air. Sara just chuckled.

Just then, she heard the door open again. She raised her head and saw Mishka backing off, "Hey! Who are you?!"

"Where is security? Guards!" Mishka yelled.

Sara saw her best bodyguards enter. One of them directly slapped Mishka on her face, and she landed near the two burly men. Sara smiled as she stood up unsteadily, "Ben! Rio! Come back."

The two huskies backed off with their tails wagging as they snuggled close to Sara.

"Miss Ruby is waiting outside", One of the bodyguards spoke.

Sara nodded as she felt her head spinning, "Are those two drugged? If not, then drug them."

"Yes, Miss", the bodyguards nodded and came forward with a syringe.

"No! No! You can't do that!" Mishka yelled in agony, "I... I acted too recklessly."

Sara, who had stumbled near the door, leaned in its support as she spoke, "I am Sara James. People call me Empress. I can do whatever I want."

Ruby, who was standing outside the door, heard this and smirked, "That's my girl!"

Sara smiled and stumbled outside the door. Ruby saw the dogs and squatted down to pat their furry crowns, "Enough adventure for the two of you! Go home and grab some bones, alright?"

"Woof!! Oooof!!" the dogs barked happily as two bodyguards escorted them away.

The unstable Sara turned around and could faintly make out the fallen guards by the stairway. She smiled a seductive smile.

"Let's go!" Ruby held her, "I have arranged everything in your private lounge upstairs."

"En."

It was only a few steps, but for Sara, it was an eternity. She stumbled again and again. Thankfully, Ruby was there. Though she was drugged, she still carried her noble presence elegantly. The upstairs was dimly lit, and extremely quiet. Along the corridor, a young man was talking on his phone. He was extremely charming and refined, wearing a white shirt and a pair of black pants. The sleeves were pushed up to his elbows while his slick black hair swayed gently in the breeze.

For a brief moment, Sara's eyes met his. As she was drugged, she grunted and looked away as she entered her room with Ruby's help. But the man kept his eyes fixated on her until she entered her room. The moment her door clicked, he moved his eyes away and entered his room, which was opposite Sara's, while deep in thought.

Once inside, Ruby help Sara sit down on the bed. Then, she started instructing, "Your clothes her already in the closet. Take a warm shower. Remember to cover yourself with a blanket to sweat it out."

"Okay, Mom", Sara smiled as she stumbled slowly towards the bathroom.

Ruby sighed, "Call me once you are done. I am leaving."

"Okay."

Ruby left the room. When she exited, the door opposite clicked open slightly. Ruby stopped in her tracks and squinted at the door. But, she turned and walked away.

The door opened and the man from earlier revealed a thoughtful expression. Then, he muttered a single word, "How?"

...

Downstairs

Ruby's high heels clicked across the wooden floor as she descended the stairs. Two bodyguards were standing guards near the locked door of that room. Inside, a pig was being slaughtered.

"How is it?" Ruby suddenly asked.

"Uh..." the guards were at a loss of words.

"Open the door", she ordered immediately.

The bodyguards didn't question any further. They promptly opened the door. As soon as the door was opened, shrill screams and shrieks filled the air. Ruby grunted and immediately closed the door once she entered.

Mishka was crying pitifully as she howled and shrieked. Ruby snorted with disgust, "A slut like you should be good in this aspect. See how you can't even satisfy these two beasts?"

"Ah!" Mishka wailed, "Let me go. If the media found about this, won't your Tiara get implicated in the process? If you let me go..."

"For now, think about the image of the slut within you. If the media gets their hands on this information, your hard-earned fame as an actress will crumble."
