Elara Thornfield was a woman of many secrets, a puzzle the world could never fully solve. To outsiders, she appeared cold and distant, entirely consumed by her work. But beneath her stoic exterior lay layers of complexity, haunted by vivid, exhausting dreams that left her drained each morning. As she stood on the precipice of a life-changing moment, her choices narrowed to two: 'DO OR DIE'.The evening at the office began like any other. Elara sat at her sleek mahogany desk, the phantom glow of her computer screen illuminating her sharp features. The office, usually alive with the hustle of executives, now lay in silence—punctuated only by the faint hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustle of papers. She was reviewing the financial projections for the quarter when her phone buzzed insistently on the table. The screen flashed: Unknown Number.A prickle of unease danced up her spine. The Thornfield name attracted all kinds of people—some looking for favors, others hoping to

Elara took a deep breath, steadying herself as she looked at Ava. Her voice was calm, but her words cut with precision. "Ava, I told you to do this internship, but of all the trainers available, you chose me. You know I’ve hidden my identity, and you understand how important that is to me. Next time, if you dare to call me 'sister' even once, I won’t hold back. You know my temper, Ava. Don’t mess with me."Ava blinked, stunned, her lips parting to say something, but Elara did not let her.She continued, her tone unwavering. "Your job here is to learn, and my job is to train you. That’s it. Don’t think this will help you get closer to me. The distance I’ve maintained from everyone, including you, isn’t going to change. I’ve told you all this before, and yet none of you seem to understand. These six months... I don’t need any drama. Do you hear me?"Ava’s eyes welled with tears, her composure crumbling under the weight of Elara’s words.She lowered her gaze and whispered, "I’m sorry...

Alex was staring at her, his eyes filled with an emotion Elara couldn't quite identify. Elara raised an eyebrow. "What happened?" Alex blinked as if he had just been pulled from a trance. Then, without warning, he burst into laughter. Trying to regain his composure, he stammered between chuckles, "Wh... at... you have taught me of? Ahh, do you think I’d fall for this kind of joke? Come on, Elara, I’m not that dumb." Elara didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she smiled, her gaze softening. But inside, she whispered to herself, You are dumb, Alex, for not believing my words. By the time they reached the office, the familiar buzz of workplace chatter surrounded them. Whispers and knowing glances followed their steps. News of Alex and Elara’s relationship had spread like wildfire, fueling envy among their colleagues. Their names were on everyone's lips—part admiration, part jealousy. Elara quickly settled into her tasks, immersing herself in work to avoid the stares and whispered sp

As Alex and Elara moved closer, Alex felt himself losing control, almost overwhelmed by the moment. Just as he leaned in for a kiss, Elara pulled back suddenly, surprising him. Alex paused, staring at her in surprise, unsure of what he’d done wrong.Elara looked at him, a bit flustered, and said, “I think… I think I need a little more time for this.”A silence fell between them, thick with awkwardness. After a few moments, Elara tried to lighten the mood. "Do you, um, need anything else?"Alex shook his head. "No…"Elara smiled, trying to smooth things over. “Okay, then. Want to watch a movie?”Alex’s face brightened instantly. “Yes, let’s do that.”They sat down, putting the earlier tension behind them. As the movie played, they grew comfortable beside each other. Slowly, their tired eyes closed, and they both drifted off, sleeping side by side.Morning...Elara awoke to find herself wrapped in Alex’s arms, his face relaxed in sleep, looking softer and more innocent than usual. An am

When Elara opened the door, he was left speechless. “Elara…” he whispered, barely able to find his voice.In front of him stood the most stunning woman he had ever seen. Elara wore a beautiful navy blue dress that hugged her in all the right ways, with diamond earrings catching the soft light. She had chosen minimal makeup, allowing her natural beauty to shine through, giving her an effortless elegance that took his breath away.For a moment, he couldn’t find his voice. He just stood there, his mind blank, completely captivated by her. Her quiet grace, her gentle smile—it was as though she had stepped out of a dream.Noticing his expression, Elara laughed softly, her laughter light and warm. “Are you planning to stand here all night until your family sees you, or are you going to come inside?” she teased, a playful sparkle in her eyes.Snapping back to his senses, Alex blinked and laughed with her, rubbing the back of his neck, embarrassed by his reaction. “Yes… right. I mean, yes,

Next morning...... Elara sat alone in her room, lost in a daze, barely able to muster the will to move. The same dream had haunted her again last night, lingering with a heaviness she couldn’t shake. Today, the weight of it felt unbearable, pressing down on her heart as though it might break. Tears slipped silently down her cheeks, and she barely noticed them. “Why is he trying to interfere, Mom?” she whispered to herself, voice cracking as she spoke into the emptiness. “Mrs. Thronefield fought so hard to come through all of it. Doesn’t he see how much it would hurt her?” She closed her eyes, clenching her fists in a desperate attempt to hold onto the strength she had left. “I promised you, Mom. I promised I’d protect them, all of them. No matter what, I won’t let anyone hurt our family.” Her words, though brave, couldn’t match the ache within. The pain was too raw, too deep. Without thinking, Elara pressed her face into her pillow, letting out a wave of sobs that she’d held ba
