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 31: Comfort In All Four

<strong>*Atlas’ POV*</strong>

“What do you want to do?” Heiro whispered to Eris.

She was so still and quiet as she watched the scene in the bath unfold. Kyros was with some woman and they were making a fuss that drew the attention away from us.

Eris whispered something that I could barely make out. “It’s her,” she said again after clearing her throat. “It’s her!”

“What are you talking about?” Deimos asked as he grabbed Eris by the hips to prevent her from crawling away,

“That woman,” Eris whispered loudly. “She was at the party.”

“Klytia?” Heiro asked. “That’s Boethus’ wife. She’s always carried a torch for Kyros.”

Eris was silent for too long before she uttered the words that stiffened all of our spines. “She’s the one that pushed me.”

I looked from Eris to where Klytia disappeared into the crowd. Then, my eyes met Kyros’. He looked so lost, so confused.
