This was the nightmare journey back to the mansion, a cruel countdown, mile by mile bringing her closer to that reality she feared and had no choice but to face. Sabrina's heart is a tempest of emotions: dread, hurt, hope. Beneath it all, still clinging somewhere down deep, was the chance that maybe his coldness would turn around, and Benedict would prove he cares; that he'd call or text, asking when she'd be coming home. But the word of him was silence, this void that hollowed like an ache in her breast.

When she finally opened the door to the mansion, night had fallen deep. It was dark-dark enough to feel ominous, like any feeling she had inside was dark. She parked outside the house and sat inside the car for a while as her fingers clutched the car wheel, as if clinging to it for life itself. Going inside, entering into the life that she chose to remain in, felt like entering a vacuum. But she had promised herself—and, thereby her child—that she would try.

    The sun had only dipped beneath the Thompson Estates when Saben arrived, his sleek black car curling up the winding drive lined with trimmed hedges and white hydrangeas. The estate, ancient and elegant, bore the weight of three generations of power and legacy.Inside, the high-ceilinged living room vibrated with the scent of rosemary roast and soft classical music. Crystal chandeliers cast golden sparkles on waxed marble floors.Benedict Thompson, never slow on his feet even in his navy cashmere sweater, was spinning a wine glass by the fireplace. His wife, Sabrina, reclined on the velvet chaise, as lovely and poised as the CEO she once was.Grandmother Teresa sat beside the bookshelf, reading an old copy of The Art of War, as Leila Auburn, the naughty one of the two grandmothers, adjusted her diamond earrings, smiling.And sitting beside the big chair by the window was Wendy Taylor, great-grandmother at 97, whose entrance still felt like a royal decree. Cane in hand, shawl draped ove

    It was only seconds before she realized Saben was purposefully out of his way coming towards her, pestering her with little comments, and needling her more than ever. Jenny sat at her desk typing up reports when, in a habitual manner, the door to her office groaned."Jenny," the ice in Saben's tone cut through the air. She didn't have to look up, didn't have to turn around, to recognize that it was him.She kept typing at her computer, hammering away hotly on an email in an effort to keep tension at bay. "Yes, Saben?"He moved slowly, purposefully. She could hear him coming towards her.“You’re still working on those reports,” he said, his voice a little too casual for her liking. “I would’ve thought you’d have them finished by now.”Jenny clenched her jaw but didn’t let her annoyance show. "I’m almost done," she replied curtly, trying to avoid eye contact. "I just need to go over the projections one more time."He did not budge. Instead, he simply stood there, a few feet outside her

    "Saben," she commanded, her voice firm. "I want the reports on your desk this afternoon at five o'clock."Saben's eyes blinked for a moment, a dance of something—interest, maybe?—struggling behind them. He lowered his head, though his face was tight."Good," he growled. "I'm waiting."Jenny's heart leapt into her throat as Saben came over. She could sense the tension, the tension between them. He was not saying a word, but his presence in itself was suffocating—overwhelming, autocratic.She bristled, holding her breath to calm it, but tension was building inside her belly by the second. Something he was doing, the way he was looking at her that made her feel as if he was trying to analyze her, or even waiting for her to break down. His expressionless face, but there was determination around his eyes that made her heart beat quicker.“I’ll make sure the reports are thorough,” Jenny said, trying to keep her voice steady, but there was an edge to her words. She couldn’t help it. Every ti

    The only sound to be heard was the reverberation of Jenny's footsteps pacing back and forth along the hall as her mind raced to keep pace with all that had just transpired in the boardroom. The bite of Saben's critical words hung around her like a millstone around her heart. "Not good enough," she muttered to herself. "Not good enough for him. Why do I even bother?The air in the hallway grew cold and did nothing to still the tempest raging inside. She had poured every ounce of heart and soul into this presentation. And then, just when it counted, Saben had barely glanced up from his phone, interrupting her at every opportunity.Her hands were clenched at her sides. "I'm not going. I won't. Not again," she growled, struggling to keep the feelings raging inside from surfacing.She remembered the words at the end of the meeting. Saben's last words had not been disheartening, not at all. There had been something. else said. Something very near approval. She was not going to let herself h

    But Zina was right. Avoiding him would only give him more power. She needed to face him. She needed to stop letting his presence rattle her."Okay," Jenny said after a long moment of silence, her voice steady but with a hint of steel. "I’ll do it. But this time, I’m not going to let him walk all over me. I’ll make sure he hears me."Zina's face unwound into a triumphant smile. "That's the spirit, Jenny. I'm so proud of you. You've got this. I know you do."Jenny sat up straight and breathed in deeply. She couldn't stop Saben from speaking or acting, but she could avoid answering back. And she wasn't going to let his vanity stand between her and earning the right.The day for the following meeting came sooner than she had anticipated. Jenny knew that she was going to have to prepare. She'd worked all night on her data, running over her plan in her head so that it would be sound. She wasn't going to allow Saben shoot her down again.When the boardroom began to fill, she drew a deep brea

    The next few days had been a daze. Jenny could scarcely get the meeting out of her mind, but Saben's patronizing tone pounded away in her head like a drumbeat. His calculating, cold glares. His acid-tipped, slashing one-liners. It seemed as if every aspect of her—her dedication, her concepts—had been shrugged off with increasingly more and more arrogance.But when she got to the office the following morning, something within her came to a breaking point. Enough.She was not going to let him do that to her again. She was not going to let him brush off all that she had put into it and just walk away with that smirk still on his face.Once she sat down at her desk, she found herself looking at her inbox for a few minutes before she could even begin to type. She had no idea what she was going to write yet, but she needed to release the emotions. She could no longer keep pretending day after day that everything was okay when it was not.The heels of her shoes clacked on the shiny floor, in
