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 49: Chosen

*Several Months Later, During The Wedding Month of Gamelion*

*Heiro's POV*

"Do you have anything less... sickly?" I asked the farmer as we stood against the rotted wooden fence of the pig enclosure.

He slapped one of the hogs on the haunch through the fence and looked towards me with a nearly toothless grin. "She'll do just fine," the farmer reassured me. "It is Gamelion, after all. Lots of people have already come through and purchased the more prized pigs."

My lips tightened into a thin line. This was the main task that Kyros had asked of me and I was not about to return to the villa with a half starved swine. "I'll take two," I said reluctantly. If nothing else became available, at least we had something to sacrifice.

The well-worn farmer gave me a broken smile as he reached an outstretched hand towards me. "It's a deal," he exclaimed proudly. Then, he hopped the fence into the pen and began to attempt to wrangle the poor things.
