The drive ended as we pulled up to the company, where a crowd of reporters had already gathered. I let out a small laugh, they were really here, waiting to make me talk. Did they think they could force words out of me? They had to be joking. Whatever they publish about me won’t change my mind. I will deal with Adam until he regrets ever working for this company.As I stepped out of the car, the reporters rushed forward in a blur, bombarding me with questions. Thankfully, Biggy was there, clearing a path for me toward the entrance."Ms. Emily, don’t you think you are taking things too far?" One male reporter with tinted glasses called, as if it was any of his business."Is this some sort of publicity stunt? Are you just trying to trend on social media?" A female reporter added. She must think everyone’s like her, making money off fake news. I don't think she knows her worth, she wouldn't have to spew such statement."You are coming between two friends. Don’t you think you are overreact

It was getting late, so I decided to call it a day and packed a few documents I needed to work on into my bag. I placed my Samsung tablet inside and made my way out.I walked out of the office, heading toward the parking lot. Most of the employees had gone home, leaving the place a bit deserted. My secretary had left a few minutes earlier after waiting for me to finish up.As I reached my car, I settled into the driver’s seat, but then noticed an old man standing behind the car, motioning for me to wait. It was getting darker with each passing second, what would an old man be doing outside at this hour?"Don't get out of the car; I will send him away, " Biggy said, as he stepped out and walked toward him.I watched them exchange words back and forth. Biggy tried to move him along, but the old man wouldn’t budge. Seeing how it was getting even darker, I opened the door and strode over to join them. I don't expect someone as old as him to still be out here.To my surprise, the old man a

It was a beautiful morning. I had a good time with Lisa last night. We both skipped dinner, munching on the snacks she had brought while chatting randomly about guys. She couldn’t stop talking about the man she met at the banquet dinner last time, even though they hadn’t exchanged contact information. Talking about guys made me remember the kiss I had shared with Ryan. It had been wonderful, almost surreal, but I was unable to bring myself to tell her about it. If I told her I had met him, she would just bombard me with questions. Better to keep it to me. I had truly enjoyed our time together, and she ended up spending the night in my room. I woke up just as she was about to leave to get ready for school. I thought it was a bit early and asked her about it, but she said they had new freshmen arriving, and it would be fun to meet them. I still don’t comprehend why she comes home when she could just stay on campus. Driving two hours each way every day is crazy. I got ready for work a

In a few minutes, we arrived at the company, and I made my way into the reception area. A few employees greeted me as they walked past. I reached my office and entered, with my secretary following behind."Good morning, ma'am! Here’s your schedule for today; it’s going to be quite a busy day." She said, setting it on my desk.I set my bag aside and picked up the schedule. So, I would be busy from 10 a.m. until the end of the day—and Biggy wasn’t even at the office."These are the company’s most honored clients, and you will be meeting them in various restaurants and a few at the hotel." She added."It’s going to be a long day. I should grab my coffee before I leave the office." I responded. She nodded and made her way out.I set the schedule down and reached for my laptop when my phone began to ring. It was my father calling. I had just left home a few minutes ago—why was he calling?"Hello, Father. Everything okay?" I asked."Of course! I just heard from Mr. Lincoln that most of the

EthanI drove to the hospital as quickly as I could. When I arrived, the doctors were already attending to him. According to them, he was brought in just in time, any delay, and things could have been much worse. It's a relief few of the security guards were with him.I was in the doctor’s office, waiting for him to return from my father’s room when my phone chirped. Glancing at the screen, I saw Emily’s name."Hey, I just left a few minutes ago. Aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting?" I asked. It hadn’t been long since I left the office, and I knew she had a full schedule."I handled my client quickly; we were on the same page, so it didn’t even take ten minutes. But that’s not why I’m calling. How’s Father? Has he woken up?""Not yet." I replied. "He was brought to the hospital just in time. The doctors and nurses are with him now, and I’m waiting here for an update.""Don’t you think you should be by his bedside?" She asked, sounding worried."Relax, sweetheart. Your father is fin

"Let's watch television." I announced as I walked inside. I grabbed the remote and turned on the screen. Immediately, Emily's face appeared, relaxed on a couch with a drink placed in front of her. When did she decide to have an interview? What’s going on?"Did she discuss this with you?" Mother asked."If she did, you would have found out when we spoke. She called earlier before I came to Father's room, but she didn’t mention anything about an interview."There are three media companies in the country that carry exclusive news, and this is one of them. The one that released the rumor about Mother is the third company."Her schedule today is tight. Isn't she meeting with them?" Father asked."I don’t know how she did it, but…" I trailed off, watching intently as she began to speak."I'm not here to defend my mother's name, and I won't even try. If there’s a rumor about someone, there should be proof" she said, speaking fluently and confidently."What are you getting at, Ms. Fernandez?"

RyanI turned off my screen after the interview ended. Where did she get the boldness to threaten them? They are the third-largest media company in the country. It won’t be easy to make the manager apologize to her mother for the accusations. If they do, they will deserve it, why accuse her of something she didn’t do?I think I would do the same if I were in her shoes. Accusing my mother of murder would be going too far. Fernandez's wife died in a car accident, which I’m sure happened before they even met. But suddenly, after all these years, she’s accused of being the murderer? Fascinating. She didn't just die of from the accident, she was drunk while driving. The police had to cover the part about her being drunk."What was that about? Did she have to tell them she’s moved on without me?" I mumbled, thinking it was unnecessary."If she hadn’t told them that, there might have been rumors about the two of you getting back together.""Of course I will get her back. I don’t care what it

I instructed Jasper to get some KFC chicken and drinks from the restaurant. Let’s take it to him and see if he will eat. He’s been acting stubborn, thinking he’s clever enough to make a deal with me. I need to find out what he knows, who sent him to crash into my car, and whether the gunshot incident is connected to Anderson.If it’s not, then I have one other person in mind. Threatening someone without facing them directly, only a fool would do that. I'm done running or trying to stay distant from her. The closer I get, the more likely he will reveal himself.Emily also mentioned someone following her, but I couldn’t ask her for details because I had to rush off to help my sister. If this has been happening since before we married, then either I was the target from the start, or she was and that made me an enemy to whoever’s after her.The big question on my mind is, did she have someone in her life before she started working for me? This could be connected to her ex-boyfriend, which

It had been two days since I announced the launch of the new refinery, and today it was happening live. I had invited a few people to grace the occasion, and I was pleased they all showed up to celebrate with me. Most of the invited guests had already left, leaving me with just a handful who stayed behind to keep me company while I addressed some issues. One of them was Mr. Fernandez.I had sent him an invitation, hoping he would come, and to my greatest surprise, he did. I spotted him earlier when most of the guests had gathered. At the time, I was busy inspecting some equipment and walking around the machines when he and his group arrived."Mr. Ryan." one of them called, catching my attention. I stepped back to meet them, extending my hand for a handshake."I'm honored you showed up. Thank you for sparing some time from your busy schedule." I said."You are welcome! Keep up the good work. We will be on our way now." Mr. Fernandez replied.I nodded, gesturing toward the exit. "Let me

I arrived home and made my way upstairs to freshen up before thinking about grabbing dinner. It had been months since I last cooked, but making something tonight didn’t seem like a bad idea. I dropped my phone on the bed and proceeded to strip off my clothes. While reaching for my T-shirt, I thought I heard some commotion outside. The voices sounded distant, and it would take a minute to get downstairs to check. I ignored it and turned to walk into the washroom when a knock on my bedroom door halted me. "Jasper, is that you?" I asked, waiting quietly for a response. "Yes, we have a problem." He replied, and I immediately thought about the voices I had heard. "Anderson showed up and refuses to leave until he meets you." Anderson? What does he want? Could the police still be watching us? Does he want to get dragged in for questioning? It’s only been a few days since his accomplice died—why is he showing up at my house now? I need to warn him. "I will be downstairs." I responded. He

Ryan It was late in the evening. I had been indoors working all day, but an idea suddenly popped into my head, prompting me to step out. The death of the figure we held hostage still lingered in my mind. I decided it was time to find out more about the kind of person he was and the people he worked for. If Anderson was truly one of them, then it’s likely they worked together before he was killed. I recalled keeping a business card belonging to one of the men from the abandoned estate where the figure resided. He had claimed he wasn’t a killer, and if he was telling the truth, then I needed to uncover who he really was before that bastard ended his life. I have tried every possible way to catch the perpetrator, but nothing has worked so far. What other avenue is left for me to explore? I was a peaceful young man during my school days, with no issues or conflicts with anyone. Yet here I am, entangled in a web of betrayal and violence. In my line of business, there are many who have

We spent the entire day moving from one orphanage to another, distributing the items I had asked Ethan to arrange for me. I hadn’t been to the office all day. Though it was the weekend, I still had work to catch up on. As soon as I left the house, we headed to the store where the items were packed.Father was kind enough to hire some guards to accompany me on the journey. I went out with a convoy of vehicles, which I hadn’t expected until they showed up at the location where the goods were stored.The guards helped load everything into the cars, and we set off to deliver the items to the orphanages. It had been a fun and fulfilling day since morning, though I had overheard some of them complaining about being hungry.We had breakfast before leaving, but I guess going there and here, had made them all exhausted. They made a great team, I wasn't just going out with them, they were all entertaining and fun to be with.We were headed to a Christian orphanage run by a group of reverend sis

As we arrived at the courthouse, I spotted the lawyer outside, engaged in a conversation with an elderly lady. The area was slightly crowded, making me wonder if the session had already concluded.Stepping out of the car, my gaze shifted to Adams, who was emerging from the courthouse exit. His expression was dark, and moments later, his father followed behind him, both looking tense. I couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to put them in such a mood.I walked toward the lawyer, who waved me over. As I approached, I noticed Adams heading in my direction. Ignoring him, I focused on the lawyer."Don’t tell me I’m late. I left as soon as I called you." I said, standing beside the elderly lady he had been speaking to, exchanging greetings."When you called, we were about to enter the courthouse. The evidence you provided was strong enough to wrap things up quickly." He replied."Emily, I need to talk to you." Adams interrupted, his voice firm."I'm sorry, you can't see her. Please lea

EmilyIf I hadn't grown up a bit before Father left us, I wouldn't have believed what Mother told me a few hours ago. I had a rough childhood, and he was never there for me. Mother wasn’t allowed to show me love, which I guess was why she lied to me—saying he had died—and ran away with me.But did he really tell her he wouldn’t come home unless she sent me back to the orphanage? Did he divorce her because of that? How could he have trust issues when he knew she liked his friend before he made his intentions known to her?Two best friends fell in love with her, but she ended up with him. Such a miserable man I call Father. How could he even think Mother slept with his best friend when she was married to him? Was he that insecure because he was lucky to wed her instead of his friend?Mother did the right thing by leaving him. I'm glad I didn't grow up with him. Who knows, he might have killed me by now and claimed it was an accident. I have a father who cherishes me, I should hold him d

Ryan I sat in the car, waiting for Zara to come prove she was in her hostel and not somewhere else. The clip my men sent me played on repeat in my head, a video of her walking out of Empire Company. What was she doing there? I had warned her countless times to stay away from Emily. The last time she interfered in Emily’s business, she got a punch for her efforts. And now, she had the audacity to go all the way to her company. For what exactly? I sent Zara to this school for a reason, to study and, most importantly, to stay away from Emily. But clearly, a two-hour drive wasn’t enough of a deterrent for her. If she needed anything, why couldn’t she have called Jasper? Or me? Instead, she chose to disobey, as if my warnings meant nothing. She had claimed she was in her hostel over an hour ago, saying she needed to freshen up before coming out. But the timeline didn’t add up. It was clear she hadn’t been in her hostel, at least not the whole time. And now I was left to wonder how man

As I swiped it open, a video clip popped up, and I proceeded to play it. The sight of what I saw almost made me drop my phone. Remembering I was still in the reception area, I hurried down to my office and shut the door behind me. Watching the clip, I clutched my chest, struggling to breathe. This has been happening right under my nose, and I’m just finding out? How long has he been sleeping with her? Did he really sleep with her? Unable to take it any longer, I let the tears roll down my cheeks, crying out the pain that surged through me. Is this why he never looked at me with love? I tried for four long years, was I never good enough for him? What did I do to deserve this? Was liking him my mistake? Has he been with her all these years? Where? How? And why am I just finding out now? I reached for my face and wiped my tears away. He’s not worth it. Why should I cry? It’s been months already, but I still can’t get over him, no matter how much effort I put in. Fine, we are divorce

I woke up to voices drifting from another room—or so I thought. It wasn’t until I jumped out of bed and made my way downstairs that I realized the voices were real. Following the sound, I marched into the living room, only to find Father and Ethan fully dressed, with Biggy standing beside them, arms folded.I froze, furrowing my brows as I scanned the room. They were deep in conversation, so much so that none of them noticed me standing there."You are all dressed? Are you heading somewhere? It’s still early to go out." I said, breaking the conversation and drawing their attention.Father turned, smiling faintly as I stepped closer. I wrapped him in a quick hug. "Good morning." I greeted, pulling back."Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?" He asked."I did," I replied, then turned to Ethan, who patted my hair lightly."Hope you are okay?" Ethan asked.I nodded but kept my focus on them. "Where are you all going?"Father cleared his throat. "We are heading out. Mr. Lincoln wi
