"Crash...!!"
The sound of a loud crash echoed through the dimly lit room, followed by the shuffling of bodies and the thud of flesh against the hard floor. The air was thick with tension as a man's angry voice filled the space, berating three kneeling individuals who looked like they had just been through a war.
Their bodies were battered and bruised, with whip marks and slash marks covering their skin like a grotesque painting. They looked up at the man towering over them with fear in their eyes, prostrating themselves completely on the ground as if begging for mercy.
The man was Nathaniel Delacroix, brother of Vivienne, and he was seething with rage. He had invested his money and resources in these three individuals - Orion Black, Scarlet Reigns, and Raven Nightingale - with the promise that they would help him take down his sister's company, Delacare. But now, they had failed miserably, and Nathaniel's anger was palpable.
