Irina stood in the center of her large, luxurious bedroom which had just been turned upside down after it was just scanned minutes ago, as her heart pounded erratically against her ribcage, her eyes fixated on the dreadful horror she was staring at.

Her breaths came in sharp, shallow gasps as she stared in disbelief and shock, at the small, insidious devices that had been hidden in every corner of her room without suspicion, all scattered across the floor- the dread that she had been sharing her private space with, longer than she could ever figure out.

From underneath her bed frame, the floorboards, her nightstand, and the corner and shelves of her dressing room that had been scanned thoroughly, were where the black beeping devices were discovered. Wiretaps in her room. Everywhere.

Just days ago, Irina had unintentionally discovered the spy and tracking app that had been unknowingly installed on her phone when it suddenly fell in pieces, and had to be taken to a phone engineer

    “You can wait here,” Zoe instructed Dylan, who had accompanied her to the front of the door that led to her office in the company, as she pushed open the heavy glass doors that led to Zara's office, and she sauntered in after hesitating for a moment. Her eyes meandered across the familiar expansive space of the secretary's office, as she switched the lights on, and then proceeded to enter her own office. Turning on the light to hers, she slowly made her way toward where her large, polished desk was centered, her glass-encrusted nameplate catching her eyes. With a tired sigh escaping her, she ran her fingers over the surface of the nameplate and read the letters that had been encrusted on it under her breath, the coolness of it sending a shiver through her as if she was saying goodbye to more than just the office. Her eyes lingered on the small corner near the panoramic windows where she had strategically placed the last spy camera from weeks ago, and walked over to quickly pluck

    Zoe stood in the dimly lit hallway of her luxurious suit, and her eyes were fixed on Dylan, who was standing before her, her voice laced with urgency, “Were you able to get the document of authentication?”Dylan nodded, having confirmed it a few minutes ago just right after they both returned from her office, “It is going as planned, ma'am. The lawyer said the papers will be finalized and confirmed by tomorrow. By then, you will have full authority over her assets and her son’s welfare,” he explained. Zoe nodded in satisfaction even if her heart was racing with some underlying hint of dread, feeling the need to take another step since every charge against her had been dissolved, and there was a new search for the person who had tried to murder Audrey. The first step was to make sure that the Meyers would not be able to take control over Aaron and Audrey anymore through legal means. “Good,” she finally said, while trying not to think too much because of the sudden state of anxiety t

    The heavy grand doors of the Meyers mansion swung open with a sharp creak as two security men matched in, with grim faces, walking tall and formidable behind Malcolm. “Get Ivy down here!” He ordered in a very cold and authoritative manner, and it caused the maids who were at his call to shudder in fear as they went to get her from her room instantly. Unaware of what the sudden hubbub of her brother wanting to see her was, Ivy, who had gotten home less than five minutes ago, made her way down the grand stairs that led to her room lazily. For the past few weeks, all she had done was go to clubs to dance and drink with her friends, while spending money lavishly as she pleased. She had been unable to get rid of the anger and pain that her head had been drowning, knowing that she lost her ex to Audrey. It bruised her ego non-stop anytime she thought of it. And since she had been unable to talk to anyone about it, she decided to keep it to herself, considering how messy the family ha

    After she was dragged away from the mansion by the security guards into the car they came with, Ivy was taken to a small vacation house that they drove to that night, which was miles away from the mansion after making sure they were not being trailed. The room they made her sit in after they arrived was suffocating as well as trepidatory, and all she could do was bury her eyes on the floor while sitting so stiffly, her heart thumping fast as the men that brought her in, left her with Malcolm. She cowered in fear as she refused to meet the eyes of her brother, who stood miles away from her, his gaze hard and unyielding, with his arms crossed against his chest as if barricading himself against any slightest feeling of compassion for her. For some reason, Ivy had no idea why he had chosen not to believe her when she said that Isla was involved too, which had frustrated her more than ever and made fear sink into her stomach because it looked like no one was coming to save her. Not

    Zoe stood in front of the dresser in the master bedroom of the private suite she was staying in, her eyes staring conceitedly at her reflection in the reflective glass before her, and her heart swirling with the weight of the big decision she was finally making that night. She had spoken with Marcel two days before, and he had given her a sad reply that his father was unwilling to release his private jet to him because they were still not on good terms, even if he had no idea what she wanted to use it for. However, she told him not to worry anymore because she would still be able to use that of ANCLAIR’s conglomerate in the meantime, till her grandfather would probably decide to finally cut her off from the benefits as the CEO if he found out what she was planning. She finally told him why she had requested that of him. Earlier in the morning, she asked that Aaron be discreetly transported to Zara's house, and asked that the dutiful secretary take care of him till evening, kno

    THREE MONTHS LATEROn the last day at the jewelry company, clusters of office workers lingered by their desks and in the hallways, talking in hushed, worried voices. An eerie feeling and a weird hollow quietness settled in the surroundings of each office, as if amplifying the uneasiness everyone was overwhelmed by. Brown boxes that belonged to them lined the floors, filled with items from their desks and cubicles, and the once-glittering display cases where sample pieces of exquisite jewelry sat proudly were now empty. It was not a shock that everything finally came to that, because for the past months the company, Hila Jewelry had been struggling more than it had since the beginning of the year, and a few of them who got a better offer, or even less good offers from other companies, left as fast as they could before they soon became at the mercy of joblessness.While faced with the fear of all of them being laid off since an employee buyout might not happen, their voices rose in co

    The presence of the woman that made her way into the boardroom radiated a chilling, and self-assured elegance as she sauntered across the room, her piercing gaze locking onto Isla for a brief, almost taunting second. Dressed in a sharp, immaculately custom-made white suit, her movements were graceful, calculated and classy, like a predator closing in on prey, her stunning white heels clicking ostentatiously on the marble floor. Isla felt the blood drain from her face instantly, as she stared in shock, unable to process the sight before her. “How…?” she barely whispered to herself, too stunned to speak louder, her heart nearly stopping, “How……” She could barely keep herself composed as her eyes narrowed on the woman, who stood confidently before her, with a smug smile settling in the corners of her mouth. Desperately trying to make sense of the unraveling events, Isla's voice trembled as she forced herself to speak, “Zoe?” she called out, her voice trembling with fear, unable to b

    The atmosphere in the boardroom was tense as the meeting finally began, and Isla was still reeling from Zoe's revelation, gripping the edges of her chair, forcing herself to sit up straight despite the humiliation twisting inside her. Every eye in the room now focused on the man at Zoe's side, who was the host of the meeting. He was a tall, polished secretary with the most dashing look, and he exuded great appearance. He cleared his throat with a crisp authority as if calling everyone's attention to him, and began to speak, “Ladies and gentlemen,” he greeted politely, “I understand this is a day of difficult transition because of the sudden disruption, but it is necessary to review the reasons the shareholders are being advised not to honor Ms. Isla's requested payout before the transfer of ownership rights is completed,” He glanced down briefly at his papers before him, and then backed up, his eyes locking with each shareholder. Isla felt a pang of dread as he continued, her hear

    Meanwhile, at the MEL-CO headquarters company that morning, every worker scrambled quietly to get to the main building to clock in for the day with their employee’s card, where they could stuff themselves into the elevator and get to their respective offices before their working hours for the day would begin. Inside the private elevator which led instantly to the CEO's office was Malcolm standing without a word, and beside him was Edward, who was shuffling through a neatly organized tablet of notes, completely unaware of the storm awaiting them as the elevator went up with the speed of light. Reaching the top floor of the office building, the elevator doors slid open with a quiet dinger, and Malcolm stepped out, his polished leather shoes blending with a silent click against the marble floor. He was dressed in an impeccable dark navy blue suit, which perfectly complemented the crisp white shirt beneath, and the black tie that knotted his neck. Expecting to see the usual bustling

    Amid the hubbub that had filled the city’s media outlets, Isla sat in her office, with her legs crossed elegantly behind her desk. Her lips were curved in a satisfied smirk, as she sipped delicately from the porcelain mug filled with tea that was hanging between her fingers. She drew deep breaths in and out as she closed her eyes to savor the rich aroma of the tea incessantly before each sip, with her eyes glistening in the amusement of the exciting news that filled her ears that morning. The huge television that was always buried within the walls of her office and had always just served for aesthetics, played out its first purpose of displaying the scandal regarding the person, whose downfall she wished for desperately. Her lips curled in a derisive, wicked grin, as she muttered, “So many people want her ruined too,” Isla thought with delight, “It is not just me. How poetic,” she tilted her head as the anchor’s voice droned on about the chaos at the mall. To her, it sounde

    Jasmine drove her car along the quite busy street that led to her flower shop in the morning after dropping Raine off at school, while tapping her fingers on the steering wheel absentmindedly, her thoughts still muddled from a restless and sleepless night. She didn't sleep well the entire night. She had too many worries buzzing around in her head, even if no one could tell just by looking at her merely. She looked as radiant as ever, her auburn hair loosely tied into a bun, and lips a perfect curve in the usual alluring manner. The tires of her car glided right across the front of her shop, and she pulled up outside it, the brakes letting out a faint squeak as the car staggered a few miles to the back before it finally came to a halt.Turning to the back to grab her bag from the passenger’s seat, she stepped out of her car and waited a few seconds before shutting the door behind her, as a brief weariness weighed against her heart.Jasmine drew in a deep, sharp breath and shut her ey

    The drive to the mall had been a lot for Zoe, who was driving with the intensity that she wanted to solve what was going on in her company, only to be rammed with a memory she wanted to be very sure wasn't hers. She tried to block the absurd drunken memory that flashed through her mind out of her head as she drove and switched lanes aggressively, while jerking her steering wheel left and right. All through her drive, she was calling back a few of those who had called her incessantly to give them an order about what to do. “Come up with the fastest way to mitigate the effect of being sued by the victims, before we get to the bottom of this,” she informed the legal team. “Secure the footage for the past two weeks at the food storage and distribution centers, with the past few days in focus. Contact the heads and receive their logs for the past few days instantly, so that we can know what distribution unit brought it to the mall,” she told Hepzy, her general manager, whom she was sure

    “What happened?” Zoe questioned, her voice calm and collected, even if her head was already conjuring up the worst case scenarios. “One of our food products….” Zara exhaled sharply, her head spinning with worry, “It landed three children from different homes in the hospital yesterday night. Severe food poisoning. A mother went public about it, and now it is everywhere on social media, and news outlets. The two other moms joined in too, and now it is a crazy business. The mall is being dragged through the dirt, and people are canceling their orders. Many people are saying a lot of trash, and calling for a boycott. It is crazy!” She narrated without taking a breath. Zoe's head almost tumbled hearing that, but she remained composed regardless, “Which store?”“The gourmet section. It is the new frozen chicken which was just added to the line. They said they all had it for dinner yesterday night, and that was the food they had in common. I truly hope that there will be no more casualtie

    The morning sunlight filtered through the floor-length curtains of the living room which were usually barely opened, with its mild rays radiating heat against the body of the lady that was sprawled on the couch, her tightly shut eyes squinting endlessly. Unable to cope with the intensity of the sunrays, Zoe tried to turn to the other side the way she usually did on her bed, when her other hand suddenly landed on an open space causing her heart and eyes to jump open at the same time. ‘Shit. Where was she?’ she wondered, as her eyes which were initially struggling to open parted instantly from the shock that she landed on the floor from the chair. ‘She was sleeping in her living room and not her room?’ Zoe panicked, as she pulled her body up instantly, and looked around, wondering if it was truly morning already. ‘How long did she sleep?’ she wondered, her eyes scanning around as if she could tell just by that. She could tell from how she was feeling in her body that she slept a lot

    “You know her?” Jasmine asked reflexively, before she shook her head, realizing what a weird question she asked, “I guess she is so popular that you even know her,” She shook her head again, “It is no news if a child born today knows her.” “Ye…es. Yes. Yes, I do,” Justine answered, almost stuttering, her voice and gaze a little distant as if she was getting lost in the thoughts of something else. Her face suddenly stiffened in a more deepened shock. “She is. She is somehow the daughter of my first love, and friend who betrayed me so terribly. It is crazy how life turns out,” she continued to rant endlessly, deeply bitter because she just couldn't help but wonder how. She ran a thumb along the rim of her glass, staring at the city as if the answers were out there somewhere, and continued to speak, “And I know that it is not the child's fault that all this happened, but I cannot help but be resentful,” she paused again, her head spinning. “Sometimes I get sentimental, which is

    Malcolm's face turned pale as soon as she heard her question, and cats got his tongue so bad because he had not even expected her to ask on such a serious note. Words suddenly eluded him and his mind became a blank mark. “I just had to ask you know,” She let out a breathy, humorless laugher, the wine making her bold, or maybe just honest, “I mean my life is still pathetic even if I am rich, and I still cannot be happy. You would never even be happy with me. Just like we never were,” she smiled. Malcolm's heart sank the moment she said that, and his eyes, dark and weighted with things he never said, locked onto hers.“Find another woman,” she murmured as if compelling him, “One you don’t have to share so much guilt with, and have to atone to, for the rest of your life. And maybe I might find someone too someday. Someone I don’t have a love-hate relationship and very bad memories with.” “Love-hate?” Malcolm echoed, his voice less composed, or quiet now, his confusion betraying his co

    The balcony doors of the Grand MEL-CO suite were open on the fifteenth floor to the cool night breeze, which carried the faintest scent of the sea not too far away from the beautiful view. Seated there comfortably were two dear friends, who took the evening to meet up and get lost in the reverie of the moment while sharing how their days had gone without seeing one another. A glass of whiskey sat between the fingers of Justine, a stunning woman at forty-nine with beautiful striking features, as she leaned back against the cushioned chair she was sitting on, with two of her legs stretched out to the front, while delicately swirling the stem of her half-empty wine glass. A long, satisfied sigh escaped her, as she stretched her arms overhead, her eyes glistening with admiration of the beautiful sight before her. “You have no idea how much I needed that spa today,” she mused, tilting her head toward her friend, “I swear, Jasmine, it was divine. You would have loved it.” She sighed d
