68 The man behind the shadows 1 (1/2)

At the Williams' residence, Victoria was alone with Julia in her room. She has given her daughter sedatives just to calm down and sleep. Looking at her daughter's tear stricken face she felt her heart tighten with pain and anger.

”How dare they do this to my daughter.” Victoria said while clenching her fists. She get her phone from the bedside table and dial a number that she knows by memory.

The phone was ringing for a while, then someone answers. ”How may I help you Mrs. Williams?” a voice of a lady is heard from the other end.

”I want to speak to him.” Victoria said.

There was a pause for a while.

”Please wait for a while. I'll put you on hold.” The lady said.

There was a man sitting in a chair behind the desk situated at the far corner of a dark study room. It was night time and only a desk lamp was giving light. The man was covered in the shadows.

'Knock, knock, knock'

”Come in.” A masculine voice came from the man in the shadows

The door opened and a lady came in and gave a slight bow.

”Sir, Mrs. Williams wants to talk to you.” The lady said.

”I understand. You may leave.” The man in the shadows said. The lady bowed again and left the room while closing the door.
