The 4 Faces of Corruption

"We need to get going," one said in a low growl as he came up beside me. "Not playing with some toy at the bath house. There's plenty of things to play with at the party." "I don't know," the other one responded loud enough for everyone to hear. "This toy is nice to look at." --- Vasilia came from humble origins, and she craved to be more in life, what she never expected was, to climb so high, taken by four powerful and corrupted sinners. --- I couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of my lips. Perhaps I was finally losing my mind or maybe the heat was just getting to me. Crazy or not though, it didn’t matter. These men were nobles, powerful men with pull and sway. Getting close to them was my potential foot in the door to the life of the rich and the powerful. --- The 4 Faces of Corruption is the work of Jasper Quirk, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 45: Time to Think

"We should head back inside," I said as I leaned my head against Asteria's shoulder.

She leaned her head against me and we simply sat there for a moment, enjoying one another's company. It was nice to just be with my sister again, but there was also shame for how long I'd gone without contacting her. I would have to do better.

Asteria patted my thigh and we both stood, followed by Messene as we headed back inside.

When I reentered the sitting area, I was surprised by the lack of people. All I saw was Deimos and my father, standing there with weird looks on their faces.

"What's going on?" I inquired of the men. "Where is everyone?"

Before either of them could answer, I noticed the state of my father. Tears flowed from his eyes and he appeared nearly feral as he stood there, swaying. Deimos seemed to be trying to support him and my sister and I rushed to our father.

"Father," my sister exclaimed. "What's the matter?"
