Veiled Vengeance

"Are you going to hate me, little girl?" the man asked with a flat, emotionless voice that made Annica's mouth taste bitter with fear and hatred. Annica remained silent. She just stared at the frozen face without blinking, ignoring his increasingly blurred gaze. The man laughed. "What are you going to do? This is your fate. Accept it." The monster turned his body around and walked away, leaving Annica alone in her cold room. The gust of wind rushing in through the door extinguished the light from the remaining short candles in the room. But Annica could still gaze at the man's back. Tonight, the moon seemed brighter than usual. Tonight, Annica's world split in two. Tonight, the 14-year-old girl lost everything.

New Plan

Filip swept his hand across his desk and knocked the objects on it to the floor.

Papers scattered like fallen leaves, ink bottles shattered, and the quills snapped as they hit the ground. The clinking of his brass wine cup was the last sound heard in the silence of the room, echoing ominously before everything fell still.

He stood there, his chest heaving with anger, his eyes blazing with frustration.

The flickering candlelight cast jagged shadows on the walls, mirroring the chaos in his mind. He clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening, as he tried to rein in his temper.

Everything he worked for, all his efforts were in vain.
