Meeting the president’s son was really not as I expected. At least not the way I expected it to be.

BRIAN’ S POV

“Yes, Violeta. Send the emails to them and make sure to finish up the files.” I said as I walked into Holly Empire, barely responding to the greeting from a passerby. “Also, make sure that the files with Holly are done before tonight. We are lagging behind.” I told her.

“Okay, sir.” She responded. I disconnected the call, swiping my access card on the access control. I walked into the elevator, letting out a deep sigh as I clicked the ninth floor. Just as the elevator closed up, someone pushed their leg forward, stopping it from closing and I lifted a confused look up to see Bishop who tilted his head to the side.

He came to stand beside me, dipping one of his hands into his pocket. “Good morning,” He greeted.

“Morning to you too,” I replied, keeping my focus forward. We didn't talk to each other after that. Reaching the seventh floor, Bishop stepped out while I contin

    I walked into the building, scared to the core, unable to still my beating heart. The text message has me on hold and I didn't know who could have possibly sent me that text message. Who got hold of my contact and decided to play with me? It even hinted that I must not come with anyone which only made me even more cautious. I was not stupid, the person must have known because there was no way I would come here without letting anyone know so I called Toby to know. He promised to look out for me and I was grateful. We had yet to discuss our differences but at the same time, I still chose to trust me once more. He was the only one I felt safe around. I didn't trust Brian after he ruined it years back and I definitely won't trust Gerald because he could not betray his Alpha once more or else, Brian might decide to remove him from the Beta position which I didn't want to take the blame for for. I don't want to ruin things so I would rather do it myself. So let us get on with t

    JESSICA’S POV I cast one last glance at Freddy as he kept his focus on the road. Turning away, I let out a deep breath. I was going to introduce him to my kids today and I didn't know the reason the thought alone made me scared. It was true that people didn't know I had kids and it was all because I wanted to protect them and yet at the same time, I knew a time would come when I would have to do such. Doing it today made me feel exposed. Like I was doing something that would result in pain for me. It was for the best after all. “Do you think they would like the chocolate I got for them?” He asked for the umpteenth time and I slowly nodded. He had gone out of his way to get something for them even when I had told him that there was absolutely no need for it. He insisted and in his own words, “They are kids, Jessica. It is only right for me to get some things for them.” I could not argue with him so I let him fulfill all righteousness. Letting my head fall back, I cracked

    **Jessica’s POV** I glared daggers at Freddy, signaling him to start the car as the man behind us continued to thank me. When he saw I wasn’t joking, Freddy sighed and started the engine, following the man’s shaky directions to the hospital. Freddy was clearly irritated, muttering under his breath about scams and gullible people, but I ignored him. “Just drive, Freddy,” I said curtly, keeping my gaze out the window. When we arrived, the man led us to his daughter’s ward. Freddy hesitated at the door, folding his arms as if daring the man to prove him wrong. I stepped in first, and my heart nearly stopped at the sight before me. The little girl was frail and pale, hooked up to monitors and an IV. A nurse stood by her bed, jotting down notes. She looked up when we entered, her brows furrowing in confusion. “Why are you still here? Didn’t you leave?” she snapped at the man, her tone sharp and dismissive. “Have you forgotten what the doctor said? Your child has less than four

    **Chapter: Nelson’s Fake Proof** Jessica sat at the head of the conference table, addressing the shareholders with calm confidence. Her words were measured, her gaze steady. Every eye in the room was fixed on her, a blend of respect and cautious curiosity. She was building momentum, solidifying their trust in her leadership, when her phone vibrated on the table. She glanced at the screen: her lawyer, Mr. Hendricks. “Excuse me for a moment,” she said, giving the shareholders a polite smile before stepping out of the room. “Mr. Hendricks?” she said, pressing the phone to her ear. “Ms. Holly, I need you to come to my office immediately,” his voice was tight, laced with urgency. Jessica frowned. “What’s wrong?” “It’s about Nelson. He claims to have evidence that may affect your position. I think it’s best we address this in person.” Jessica’s stomach sank. Nelson was like a thorn that refused to be removed, always scheming, always waiting for an opportunity to strik

    **Angela’s POV** The metallic clang of the prison gate echoed behind me, a sound I thought I’d never hear again. For three long months, those gates had been my reality—cold, unyielding, and suffocating. Now, they were shutting behind me, leaving a hollow sense of disbelief in their wake. I took a hesitant step forward, my heart pounding in my chest as I squinted into the sunlight. Freedom felt foreign, as though I’d stepped into someone else’s life. A black car idled by the curb, sleek and polished, standing out against the drab prison exterior. I had no idea who was responsible for my release. The last time I’d heard from anyone, it was Brian's failed attempt to see me, blocked by the guards. I thought about him for a brief moment, then quickly shoved the thought away. The driver exited the car and opened the back door, gesturing for me to enter. I hesitated until I saw her. Sophia White. My mother.

    BRIAN’S POV I stared at my phone, tapping my fingers against the desk as the ringtone droned on for the third time. No answer. Grey wasn’t exactly the most reliable guy when it came to picking up calls, but this felt different. The longer the silence stretched, the tighter the knot in my stomach became. He should’ve answered by now. Something wasn’t right. I hung up and dialed again, muttering under my breath. “Come on, Grey. Pick up.” Still nothing. Before I could decide whether to leave another message, my phone buzzed in my hand. An unknown number lit up the screen. For a second, I debated ignoring it, but instinct told me to answer. “This is Brian,” I said sharply. “Brian, this is Officer Carter from the precinct.” The name took a second to register. Carter. I’d spoken to him before—back when Angela first got arrested. His tone wasn’t urgent, but it wasn’t casual, either. “What’s going on?” I asked, already bracing myself for bad news. There was a pause

    The quiet hum of the office enveloped Jessica as she worked diligently at her desk. The papers strewn before her detailed the intricacies of her latest case, but her focus faltered as her mind wandered. The events of the last few days had been overwhelming, to say the least. The precinct was still reeling from the chaos surrounding Angela's arrest, and tension hung in the air like an oppressive fog. Jessica leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temples as a faint headache began to pulse. She was no stranger to pressure, but something about this situation felt more complex than usual, as though there were pieces to the puzzle she hadn’t yet discovered. A sharp knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. She straightened her posture, masking her fatigue with a professional demeanor. "Come in," she called, her voice steady. The door creaked open, and Bishop stepped inside. He moved with the calculated confidence of someone who always knew more than he let on. His expression w
