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 24: The Physician

I couldn't make sense of what was happening as one of them lifted me from the bed and began to carry me somewhere. They spoke too quickly and urgently. They were so loud.

When the shock of the cool water hit me, I jumped to life with a shrill scream. Immediately, my teeth started chattering and I attempted to stand. A strong, warm hand held me in the tub and then there was a chilly trickle of water down my back.

"What is the meaning of this?" I screamed as I clutched at the hand – my only source of warmth.

"You have a fever and an infection. We need to call for a doctor right away but I need you to stay in the water and stay lucid." Deimos held my face in his warm palms as Kyros continued to hold my shoulder and pour cool water down my back.

Once the initial shock wore off, it wasn't much different than the baths I took at home when I didn't have the energy to walk to the bathhouse after working all day.
