Lisa grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. We didn’t stop until we reached the parking lot, where she leaned against her car. I watched as she pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and held it up to my face.

I frowned, unsure of her intention, until I looked closer. The image on the screen caught my attention immediately, it was Samantha. She appeared to be arguing with, or even striking, the woman next to her.

"That’s Ryan’s mother, but… what is this? And the woman with her, who is she?" I asked, my confusion deepening.

Lisa raised her brows, silently urging me to figure it out on my own. But she remained quiet.

Taking the phone from her hand, I zoomed in on the video. As soon as I recognized the other figure, my heart sank. My hands flew to my mouth in disbelief as I stared at Lisa.

"What are they doing together?" I muttered, more to myself. The scene was unsettling, the two of them on what seemed to be a quiet, secluded road. "Why would they meet when they don’t even get alon

    RyanIt was late in the evening, and I had just finished giving a speech at a conference I was invited to. Though it was impromptu, I had to attend, even though I still wasn't feeling like myself after what happened yesterday. I had to leave immediately since I had a meeting with Mr. Fernandez. He had literally reached out to me earlier this morning to meet him at a popular restaurant in town.Everything that happened yesterday made me feel less of a man. I didn’t know what to think after finding myself at Alex’s apartment. He’s been insisting Zara has something to do with this.I don’t even know how to convince him otherwise, how to tell him she’s innocent and wouldn’t spike my drink. When I went home this morning, I found her crying because I hadn’t returned her calls. She thought something had happened to me, and Jasper didn’t pick up her calls either.This isn’t the first time I have experienced this. It always starts with a sharp headache, and suddenly, I become sleepy. I have al

    Ethan Father is taking longer than expected to arrive. I had spoken to him a few minutes ago, he told me he was already on his way to the address I shared with him, but there’s still no sight of him. I should reach out to Emily—maybe he’s still at home, forgot something, and had to go back. I turned to the guys, extending my hand to get the phone. Once I collected it, I scrolled through and dialed her number. I’m supposed to fly out of the country soon; the pile of work I have is alarming, and I need to get it done. Laughter greeted me when she picked up, followed by her voice. “Hey, where have you been?” “Lisa didn’t tell you? We caught the twins’ friend. I’m at the crib with him, but he’s refused to say a word.” I heard her sigh. I know she's probably gritted her teeth even though I can't see her. “You should beat him until he bleeds; that way, he’ll cooperate. Share your location with me. I’ll be there.” She ended the call before I could respond. Staring at the phone, I heard

    We arrived home to find the director parked outside the house. The guards must have stopped him from going inside. As we drove into the compound, Father instructed the guards to let him in.We all stood there watching as he drove in. He parked his car and stepped out rushing, falling to the ground and clutching Father's pants.“Please, you have to help me! I’ll tell you everything I know, but you must save my company,” he pleaded, sweat dripping from his face. His disheveled appearance made me wonder if he was involved in drugs or something similar.“I thought he claimed he was innocent? Why is he here asking for help now?” Emily said, stepping forward. “What the hell do you think you’re doing here? Have you suddenly become loyal?” Her tone was sharp and full of anger.I didn’t know what had transpired between them, but he must have crossed a line. Despite all those scandals, he had acted as if he was untouchable.“Let’s hear what he has to say.” Father insisted."No, I told you what

    Ryan "How do you feel after taking the medication?" I asked Jasper, who had just returned from the hospital. I had dropped him off after we left the restaurant so he could see a doctor. Still, something tells me that wasn't where he went. I even called Alex to check if Jasper had come around, but he said he hadn’t seen him since we left his place. After dropping Jasper off, I returned home to find the Internet buzzing with Adams' scandalous videos. My gut tells me Jasper has something to do with it, but he's keeping it from me. "Yes, I got some drugs, and I was injected." He replied, pulling items from his pocket. I stared at his hands, waiting to see what he was bringing out. To my surprise, it was a bunch of prescription drugs. Was he really sick? Where did he get treated? Alex said he never showed up, but now he’s back with medications. "Come sit down and have dinner; you can't take drugs on an empty stomach." I urged, gesturing toward the dining table. He sat down, dropping

    WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT I felt anger blazing through me, my hand clenched into fists as I stood staring at her, my gaze on her nipples. "Eyes up here, mister." She demanded, obviously caught me staring at her. "Why are you dressed like this?" I asked, gesturing to her shorts and top, trying to keep the strain from my voice. "I don't think that is any of your business. Where is Alex?" Emily demanded, while raising her head high, meeting my gaze. I glared, my jaw tightening. So she did come to see Alex. Without thinking, I dashed towards her, pinning her against the desk. Her eyes widened, as she let out a gasp. "What are you doing? Let me go."She said, breathing heavily, as she struggled to get my hands off her. I ignore her, wrapping my hands around her waist, pulling her closer into me. Our faces are just a few inches away from one another. I watched as she gulped, looking elsewhere but me, one of her hand dangling, the other on my chest as if attempting to push me away but

    Emily Having him touching me after so many years was blissful. I have missed him but refused to admit it for so long, always waiting for him to make a move, and finally, he did. I let out a gasp as he plugged into me and I gave a little scream, feeling a bit of pain. He paused, watching my expression with so much care in his eyes, allowing me to adjust against his length before he started moving again. "Damn! So tight. Must have missed me." He whispered huskily against my ear, giving my earlobe another bite. I moaned, wrapping my hands around his neck and trying to move against him impatiently. I needed him deeper in me. He laughed, before giving me a spank on my butt. "Easy." He cajoled before he rammed into me again, not stopping this time, as he thrust himself in, and I let out pleasure-filled gasps, closed my eyes, and relaxed my body. My heart began racing, and my fingers were twitching as I tried to control myself from not begging for more. It felt so good, his touches, car

    It has been more than an hour since I left the hospital. I had to leave because I didn’t want anyone to show up while I was still drenched in sperm. Ryan was kind enough to help me clean up before urging Jasper to drive me home.I don’t know how everything happened, but I have no regrets. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do with him while we were still married, but he never spared me a glance. I didn’t just enjoy what we did—I wanted more. I wanted him to devour me until I couldn’t move. Those four years of marriage ended in divorce, but nothing I feel for him has died.At least, that’s what I thought. But I was only lying to myself. Every time I see him, something new sparks within me, and I can’t help it. I’ve just been hiding it from everyone because there’s no escape.I was glad when I arrived home, I didn’t find anyone. I don’t know how I would have made it upstairs without arousing suspicion. It wasn’t a bad idea to go out in that outfit—it led to me being laid on the desk a

    It’s been three days since I spent time with Ryan, and I haven’t heard from him. The silence is stuck with me, making me nervous. I haven’t heard from Jasper either—he hasn’t been picking up my calls. I had no choice but to return to my daily activities while still trying to reach out. After spending so much time at the hospital, Biggy insisted on being discharged. I couldn’t blame him—it’s suffocating to be stuck in a hospital, even for visitors. I can only imagine how the patients feel, restricted to stepping out for fresh air but never to their homes. Father had no problem with Biggy being discharged. He believed that once he gets home and had enough rest, he’d recover better. I was outside, leaning on the door, when I heard it creak open. I straightened, watching as Biggy stepped out of the room, with Mother following behind him. She handed me the bags she was carrying, and I followed them out to the parking lot. “Are you heading to the office?” She asked, stopping at the car.

    EthanIt’s been more than thirty minutes, and we still can’t find Emily. The certifications have been issued to the graduates, and they have taken their oaths, but there’s still no sign of Emily. She can’t just leave without informing anyone. At this point, I blame her guard for giving her the keys without asking questions.How do we find her? People are already leaving. We want to take a family picture, but we can’t find her. If only I had insisted on coming with her. If I had waited, we would have gotten here together. She wouldn’t have left without me knowing where she was headed. She knows I wouldn’t allow her to leave if she didn’t inform me where she was going."We can’t keep waiting for her. I believe she will come home." Father said, obviously tired of waiting. He’s been seeing guests come to congratulate him on Lisa’s graduation, and has even gotten tired.He should be at home resting, not here when he still has stitches on his body."She's old enough to take care of herself.

    It’s been such a busy morning since I woke up. I’ve been helping the maids prepare food for the guests who showed up even before the day had begun. It’s Lisa’s day, and everyone is happy, coming to congratulate and celebrate with her. Finally, we’ve got a neurologist at home. I’ve been wondering how she intends to go after her business.She’ll be resuming work at the hospital a few days later before flying out to her desired place, which Father is still working on. I’m going to miss her; she’s been the most supportive sister and friend I’ve had since I lost my other friends.Everything has happened so fast, in the blink of an eye. I can’t believe I’ve been married before, and now I’m pregnant. I should inform Ryan about it instead of keeping it from him."Hey, what are you thinking?" I looked at the figure. It was Lisa, all dressed up, looking stunning. She was wearing a lace-trim off-shoulder slim dress, with elegant long sleeves and a back cut into a heart shape. Her hair was styled

    It was a hectic evening with Lisa. We finally managed to get her something to wear for her graduation. I’m not the one graduating, but I’m so happy she’s signing out of school.When we arrived home, Biggy helped carry the clothes from the car boot while we made our way into the living room.Father hadn’t come with us because he said the Mayor was coming over to see him. I guess he finally agreed to meet him, especially since the scandal he’s caught up in has been spread by bloggers.I’m certain that Ethan had something to do with it, but he feigned ignorance when Father asked him. Speaking of Ethan, I haven’t seen him since he left the office with Freya, who has refused to return despite his requests.We marched into the living room and found Father seated with the Mayor. Their expressions didn’t seem lighthearted.I quietly marched past them and ascended the stairs."Good day, Mayor." Lisa greeted, clearly seated close to Father, as I heard her plop onto the couch."Hello, Lisa! Cong

    EmilyIt has been more than ten days since we uncovered the truth that my birth father was the mastermind behind all the chaos that has unfolded. Since Ryan lost track of him that night, there have been no further leads to locate him. My adopted father was livid when he found out, ready to take matters into his hands, but his friend Liam managed to calm him down.There’s a reason I deeply respect Liam. He has a knack for stepping in at the right moment, offering advice that’s both timely and wise. He convinced my father to let Ryan and Ethan handle the situation, especially Ryan, who has been enduring threats and even narrowly escaped death, all because of me.In four years of marriage, I had no idea Ryan was hiding such a burden from me. None of this made sense at first, but after my birth father admitted to all his crimes, I couldn’t deny the truth. He never truly liked me, not even as a child. If not for my mother standing up for me, I might have ended up in an orphanage, far remov

    It took me a few minutes to bring Emily back to her senses. She was losing it and needed someone to ground her. We couldn’t fight her father here, he came prepared, determined to take her away with him."Don’t say a word." I warned her, turning to face the man standing in front of us. He doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s father. How could Jasper not find anything substantial on him when I asked him to investigate?"I’m disappointed in you." I began, my voice steady and sharp, "not just as Emily’s father but as a so-called boss who can’t even protect his men from danger."He furrowed his brows, clearly confused, as if he didn’t understand what I had just said."You must remember when I told you that only a fool hides while his world crumbles around him. Your men were kidnapped, yet all you could think to do was chase someone you’ll never catch.""Is this your attempt to provoke me?" He retorted, his tone calm but laced with disdain. "You’ve failed. Your words mean nothing to me.""Can you

    I made sure all the plans were in place before stepping out, fully prepared. He’s coming to get Emily, while the twins and their boss are coming for their friends body, and that of his brother. I will finally uncover who wanted Emily dead and went so far as to plant a bomb in her car.The anonymous figure who’s been tormenting me for years, forcing me to divorce her, needs to be unmasked. I need answers. Why has he been doing all this?Once I was ready, I got into the car, buckled my seatbelt, and drove off. We’re out to catch two people today."Hey, is everything set? Any movement yet?" I asked, gripping the steering wheel tightly as I exited the parking lot. My nerves were shot, not because of the plan itself, but because Ethan kept giving us problems. I could only hope he wouldn’t jeopardize this operation."Nothing yet, but that doesn’t mean no one will show up. You’ve seen the twin brother. He’s not just starving, he’s like that because he’s been separated from his brother." Khan

    Ryan"The both of you need to calm down. What has gotten into you? This isn’t the place to argue. You have to come to terms with this." Khan intervened, his voice sharp with irritation.I looked away, not proud of how I had responded. But if I keep letting Ethan talk down to me, he might end up punching me in the face or trying to order me around. I’m only doing this because Emily wants me to.I took a step back as Khan continued to vent his frustration. Ethan didn’t even look remorseful. He started this whole mess; I just had to put him in his place."Can we not have a peaceful conversation without you two fighting? What is this? Is this how you intend to plan things out?" Khan asked, his tone exasperated."If there’s anyone to scold, it’s him. He acts childish and doesn’t even think before speaking." I defended, glaring at Ethan."You’re the childish one. Don’t you dare talk to me like I’m one of your servants!" Ethan snapped back, raising his hand as if to hit me."Enough! Enough,

    "You have to do something about this. It's too early to be showing signs of fatigue." Alex explained as he looked at the chart.I should be careful from now on. But how? How can I be cautious when I'm dealing with all this at the moment? I can't just sit back and not help Ethan. Besides, I'm the reason he's been moving around effortlessly."I will try to be careful." I responded.Surprisingly, he looked in my direction and cast me a furtive stare, obviously not supporting what I had just said. I watched as he dropped the chart, his attention now fully on me.He took his seat, crossing both hands, his gaze locked on mine."Listen, Ms. Emily, if you don't want to lose that baby, you'd better behave and take care of your health. If something happens to that child, I won't forgive you." He said firmly.My heart skipped. Why? Why wouldn’t he forgive me for losing the child? What reason does he have to say that? Besides, I don’t want to lose the baby either. If something like that were to h

    EmilyI waved my hand in the air, hoping he would see me as he walked out of the airport. His attention wasn’t on me, as he glanced around the precinct, searching. I had been at home when he called, asking me to come pick him up. I hoped his business trip had been a success—he had been away for weeks now.Finally, he spotted me and hurried in my direction, a smile plastered across his face. As he approached, I stepped forward, pulling him into a warm hug."Welcome back." I said, pulling away slightly. "How was your trip?""I got the deal." He said, breathing out in relief, his smile infectious. I wasn't too savvy with the specifics, but it was clear he was pleased with the outcome."Congratulations! Are you heading straight to the office?" I asked as Biggy helped load his luggage into the trunk."Yes, there are some documents I need to send out today." He replied, then paused, his expression softening. "How have you been? I've been following the news... The media is buzzing about your
