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 37: Mother’s Garden

I set the box down on the grass in the garden and sat down beside it. It was a beautiful gesture, but it wasn't enough to take away the feeling of being a caged bird. I spent most of my days napping, either in the garden or in the library. My nights were restless and filled with tossing and turning until I grew too anxious to tolerate it. Then, I would come out here to the garden and gather flowers for the day.

I wasn't sure how much longer I could tolerate seeing the same dozen faces everyday. There was a disquiet inside of me that I couldn't settle down. I felt jittery and anxious, like I was due to erupt at any moment.

When a sudden shadow blocked out the sun, I looked up to see Kyros looming over me like some indomitable force.

"Oh," I said in a rush as I stood and brushed the grass and dirt from my palms. "My apologies." Kyros' one rule was to not bother him when he was in the garden. I hadn't even known that he was out here.
