Love and Death

Chap 1: I thought you'd last longer

"What're you doing Zack?!" Raya yelled when her brother moved her clothes and sunk into her bed. "This isn't even your room neither is it your bed dumbass so what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Geez Ray, I meant no harm" Zack said calmly with his playful grin. "I'm.."she sighed "I'm sorry, I'm just really tensed. Today's my first day at my office and I want everything to be perfect, not even a wrinkle on my shirt" she flicked his hand that was approaching her shirt.

"Ouch! " Zach pretended to be really hurt, she had thought he was being serious until he laughed. "Leave please, I want to get dressed" Raya also joined him in his laughter. Zack always had a way of lightening the mood.

"Alright, I'll leave. But don't stress it Ray, you'll do just fine" with that he gave her a peck on her forehead and left.

Today was Raya's first day at the company where she had gotten a job. Initially, she didn't want to take it. She had made it clear to her father that she would find a job herself, but he still thought it necessary to get her one and that too at a highly prestigious company as that one.

She knew she was a good doctor, but she didn't know if she was good enough to work there, after all she didn't have much experience. 'That's what you get for being the last child and only daughter' she thought to herself as she prepared for the day ahead.

Little did she know that her day would be more eventful than she thought...

At Lloyd & Co.

"Did you or did you not send those files to them?" The man sitted behind the desk asked. He had a calm and deadly aura around him that screamed danger. His mysterious silver grey eyes seemed to see right through people.

He was none other than successful business tycoon Zayn Lloyd. The most feared man all over the country and beyond. His name alone rang bells and no one dared to offend him. He wasn't known for being merciful.

"Sir.." Mr. Sands, the other man in the room who looked like he was bathed in sweat started to speak. He had made a wrong move, he tried to dupe Zayn Lloyd and now he was in for it. He was about to lie to him, but he thought it best to say the truth.

"Ye.. yes Mr. Lloyd, I sent the files to them. I..I am..sorry sir, please forgive me" the man begged falling down to his knees and suddenly bursting into tears.

A wrong move on his part. Zayn despised people who easily gave in, he thought of them as weak and being liabilities.

"Hm, I really thought you would last longer but you disappointed me" Zayn's choice of words were very intentional and they seemed to have the right effect on Mr. Sands because he looked up immediately at him and they made eye contact.

Mr. Sands was not prepared for what his boss had said and so the shock gripped him so much that he had unknowingly made eye contact. One look into those silver grey eyes and he knew he was done for. As quickly as he had lifted his head, he took it down same way.

Zayn was the kind of person to tease his victims before punishing them. His punishments were never heard of, but the few people who made it out never remained the same. He was getting bored, he decided he had enough fun.

"Leave my office, you'll be taken care off and henceforth your services will no longer be needed. Leave." his deep melodious and at the same time thunderous voice filled the room. Mr. Sands flustered as he was, got up instantly and almost ran out of his office. He knew better than to stay a second more.
