MARCUSPeople could be so ungrateful. After everything I’d done for Reynard Tech., after devoting my entire life to making that company a success and building good relationships with every single employee, they still turned around and stabbed me in the back as soon as they found out how bad things had gotten. Damn fucking traitors. I sat in my study and stared at the dozens of resignation emails from workers in every department. Our factories in Texas, Shanghai and Washington had to be temporarily shut down, because there just weren’t enough workers to keep them running anymore. Qualcomm were also increasing their charges per chip, and it just didn’t seem possible to weather this storm anymore. “Fuck!” I groaned, shoving my computer aside and staring up at the ceiling. I’d done everything I could to keep us alive, but it just wasn’t working. After sacking 50% of our employees, another 20% decided to resign voluntarily. That would have been a good thing, except for the fact that ev

“So, how long are we going to be in Paris for?” Rachel asked, practically bouncing in her seat.“A week at most,” I replied. “Anything more than that, and I’ll be paying out of my pocket.”We were sitting in a secluded booth at an Italian restaurant, having the most amazing pasta I’d tasted in years. The bottle of champagne we’d opened to celebrate my promotion was almost entirely empty now, and I was already thinking about ordering another one. Joanna wasn’t coming to the office tomorrow, so I also wasn’t obligated to come in. I could just kick up my feet on the couch and watch reruns of The Office all day long. “Well, I don’t know about you,” Rachel said, “but I plan on staying an extra week. There’s no way I’m going to Paris and leaving in just one week. It’s not enough.”“I’m definitely not going to wait for you,” I said. “Unlike you, I don’t have flexible working hours.”“You know you could afford to retire early, right?” she said, twirling her pasta around her fork. “I mean I’v

I was running in the middle of the street, desperately trying to get away from something that was chasing me in the dark. I could hear its growls, and feel its sickening breath on my neck. But no matter how fast I tried to run, the shadow kept getting closer and closer. “You’re mine,” a cold voice whispered. “No matter where you go or where you try to hide, I will always find you. And you’re never going to get rid of me, no matter how hard you try.”I was screaming at the top of my lungs, desperately calling out for help. But no one was coming to get me. I was all alone, and sooner or later it was going to get me. A sharp pain suddenly pierced my ribs, and I collapsed to the ground as the darkness descended on me, and I heard Marcus laughing through the shadows. “I’ve got you now,” he whispered. “Nowhere to run anymore, little dove.”I screamed for my life, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up drenched in sweat, screaming while Rachel held me down and whispered soothing words

MARCUSIt was the waiting that killed me. Just sitting there and not knowing what was going on, while my demons ran freely in my head and made me question every decision I’d ever made, that was the brutal part. My hands were covered in blood, and even my shirt was stained with Emily’s blood from when I carried her straight to the hospital. I didn’t even want to look at that, because the guilt was eating up at me from the inside. I was sitting outside the OR, unable to look at anyone who walked past me. The only time I would look up was when the doors to the theatre swung open, and my heart would skip a beat as I braced myself for the inevitable. But then a nurse would come scurrying past with a worried expression on her face, and I would sink into depression once again. It was all my fault. Why couldn’t I just learn to control my anger? Why did I have to let the darkness take over? I knew it was wrong even in the moment, but I just couldn’t stop myself. No matter how badly I scream

"So, do you think Thanos was right?""Huh?""In wiping out half of all life on earth, do you think his actions were justified?""Chris, you can't keep asking me hypothetical questions like this," I said. "We're supposed to be having a fun evening.""We are," he chuckled, placing his hand on my knee gently before quickly pulling it away. "I just want to get an idea of how your mind works."We were sitting on a bench in Hyde Park, eating our burritos and enjoying the rare warmth that spring brought. After weeks of rainfall, the sun was finally out, and it felt nice to just sit there and allow the sunlight to heat us up. “Well,” I said, “I don’t exactly agree with his methods. But in a way, he was right. What I would have liked to see from him would be a smarter choice, like choosing to rid the universe of evil entirely. If he had done that, then he would have ensured that overpopulation was fixed while also bringing about the peace that he thought he would achieve.”For a moment, Chris

Sometimes, you don’t realise how little decisions can change your entire life. Looking back now, I sometimes wonder how an insignificant decision could suddenly set your life down an entirely different path. It started from the moment Rachel and I arrived at the airport. As soon as we walked into the lounge, we noticed a French couple arguing. Rachel immediately turned to face me, and we rolled our eyes. We sat as far away from them as possible, because we did not need to be a part of this drama. From what I could loosely tell from my abysmal French, the man had cheated on her with her friend, and she was breaking up with him after finding out just now. The boyfriend meanwhile was trying to plead with her and beg for her forgiveness, but she just wasn’t buying it.“I’d hate to be them right now,” Rachel said, glancing sideways at the couple. “Imagine having to fly with a partner who you just figured out is cheating on you.”“He seems like an asshole,” I said. “I despise men who cheat

ETHANA wise man once said that life was a collection of tiny, insignificant moments that would ultimately amount to the story of someone’s life. It wasn’t some sort of grand story that would inspire a generation. Just the simple, everyday things that stood out to you. And that’s what I always believed. My life could ultimately be boiled down to a few significant moments; at first, I wouldn’t even know that they were going to stand out. But then, thanks to the gift of hindsight, I would look back and realise that that single moment was a defining moment in my life. One such moment was the first day I saw Olivia. From the first moment I laid eyes on her, I knew that this wasn’t like any other woman I’d ever met. Something about her stood out, like a single rose blooming in a field of thorns. I don’t know what exactly drew my attention to her, but from the moment I saw her standing across the dance floor, I felt something shift inside me. It was as if something slotted into place, a

Paris was amazing. Something about the city just felt so...alive. You could feel it in the air, hear it in the music from street performers who set up shop along all the tourist attractions. You could smell it in the bakeries, with freshly baked bread every morning that made my mouth water. Waking up every morning and heading to the hotel where the event was holding always felt so soothing as I wished I could just sit there and have a nice cup of coffee with some fresh bread, some cheese, and the perfect music playing in the background. Rachel and I still hadn't gotten an opportunity to do all the things we planned on doing. I was always busy, working from early in the morning until late at night. Thankfully she'd met a French guy on her very first day at a restaurant, and he was keeping her busy. I, on the other hand, was a different kind of busy. I usually worked well with event planners and party managers, but something about the French crew was just so infuriating. They outrigh

ETHANGrowing up, Marcus and I had a sort of sixth sense where we could always detect when the other person was in the building even without us seeing them. As soon as he walked into a building, I could somehow tell that he was around. And I would immediately turn in the direction he was about to walk in from. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, I didn't feel anything as I sat in the restaurant and waited for him to walk in. I was gently tapping my fingers on the table, planning what I was going to say in hopes that it would be enough to sway him. I'd gone through a thousand different possibilities of how this conversation could play out, and yet each time I wasn't so sure how well it would go. The door suddenly swung open, and I looked up to find Marcus striding towards me nonchalantly. He looked awful, it actually took me a few seconds before I realised it was him. His beard looked disheveled and unkempt, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He wore a large black hoodie, and

“Remind me again how the kiss felt,” Rachel said. “Come on,” I laughed. “I’ve told you about it a thousand times already.”“I still want to hear it again,” she said. “Now spill.”We were seated at the cafe across from the office for lunch, and she was staring at me like a wide-eyed teenager who just wanted to talk about boys and love. “Rach, are you alright?” I asked cautiously.“What do you mean?”“I mean why do you seem so invested in this?” I explained. “Normally you would be the one to tell me that this is nothing to get hung up on, and it’s just a kiss. So how come you’re so surprised and you want to keep talking about it?”For a moment, it looked like she wasn’t going to say anything. She leaned back into her seat, eyes vacant as she stared off into the distance and twirled her finger around her the rim of her coffee cup. Finally, she turned to face me and said, “I’m lonely.”Hearing her say that in such a timid voice broke my heart into a million pieces. I reached out and too

ETHANI knew I was a gone man the moment I woke up with the goofiest smile on my face. I couldn't even brush my teeth properly, because the smile just refused to disappear. All I kept remembering was Olivia’s lips on mine, and the feel of my fingers grazing her bare skin. “Get it together, Ethan,” I whispered to my reflection. “You have an important meeting today.”Reluctantly, I finished getting ready quickly and headed for the office. I was already prepared for how stressful today was going to be, but the sooner we got this over with, the faster we could get things back on track.Alicia was there to greet me as soon as I walked into the building, and she was practically bouncing on her feet as she handed me my coffee. “Good morning, Mr Reynard,” she said. “Big day, huh?”“Indeed,” I replied. “What time is the board meeting?”“In an hour,” she replied. “Although Mr Jones arrived a short while ago. He’s already in Conference Room B, and he asked me to inform you that he’s around.”O

At first, I thought I must be dreaming. Surely I couldn’t be doing this right now. It felt like my soul had slipped out of my body, and I was watching as I leaned forward and kissed him. But when the sensation burned through me like a hot knife, there was no denying it anymore. His lips met mine softly, and it was obvious that I’d shocked him. He seemed uncertain, like he was testing something before he suddenly deepened the kiss. There was some unspoken but undeniable tension that lingered in the air as he pulled me towards him, placing me on his lap before he pushed my lips apart with his tongue. The kiss sent warmth spiraling through me, a slow unraveling of every doubt I’d ever had. I melted into him, my hands finding their way to the back of his neck, feeling the way his pulse raced beneath my fingertips. He didn’t rush at all. Instead he took his time, moving slowly and carefully, taking his time to explore every inch of my lips. He tasted like cherry, and I wrapped my arms ar

“Holy shit!” “I know,” I replied, smiling as Rachel flipped through the file incredulously. She looked like she was going to pass out, which was exactly how I’d felt when I read through the file earlier. We were now sitting in the living room, testing the brand new couches while eating Chinese takeout. The file contained a treasure trove of evidence that could bring down the entire Reynard family. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if this ever got out. Marcus would be done for, and probably end up in prison. “So what are you going to do with this?” Rachel asked. “Are you going to give it to the media?”“Not yet,” I replied. “I mean I know how bad it would be for him, but I’m saving it until I actually need it. I know he’s not going to be happy when he finds out that I’m back, but if he tries anything stupid, I’m going to use this against him in court.”“You sick bitch,” Rachel laughed. “I love the way your foul little mind words.”It was our favourite line from Aladdin, and

MARCUSI opened my eyes slowly, the blinding lights overhead causing me to wince. There was a steady beeping sound coming from somewhere over my head that I knew would irritate me very soon, but I couldn’t turn to see what it was. My head felt like it was going to explode, my mouth was painfully dry, and when I tried to turn, pain shot up my entire body and I was frozen in place. “You’re awake.”I shifted my gaze to find Emily sitting beside me, a cold and distant look in her eyes as she regarded me like I was a stain on the bottom of her shoes. “What is this?” I asked. “What am I doing here?”“You’re in the hospital, Marcus,” she said. “You drove straight into the lobby of a building and injured six people.”I remembered it now, the screeching of the brakes, the fuzziness from all the drinking, and the pain that exploded all over me as the car slammed into the wall. “How long was I out?” I asked. “Are you fucking kidding me?” she spat. “I just told you that you’ve injured six pe

Being back in the halls of J.P. Steele was like stepping through a Time Machine. Suddenly I remembered those awful days leading up to my divorce, when David was helping me out and I was actually stupid enough to believe that he was on my side. I knew better now, and I realised that I should have seen through their charade back then. Marcus has orchestrated everything from the beginning. He knew exactly which buttons to push, and he knew that David would be the first person I would turn to for help. Rather than securing David for himself, he pretended to look helpless, and have him pretend to be helping me so he could stay close and gather as much information as he could manage. I guess it was truly a smart move to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. I thought back to the meeting we had at the coffee place across the street, and how Marcus walked in on us while I had to hide in the next booth. I should have realised back then that the odds of him showing up at that exa

Okay, I admit it.I’m a terrible person. But in my defence, I didn’t know what else to do. It’s not like I could send him a text and say “Hey, just thought I should let you know that I’m in New York. Remember when you asked me to move to America with you? That was crazy, right? Anyway, we should get a drink together sometime. Bye xx.”I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I knew if I posted a picture with my location, he would definitely see it. And maybe it would soften the blow for when I would actually call him and explain myself. I wanted to believe that he would have some time to think about it before I actually called, and he would be willing to forgive me by then. But for now, I was focused on work and settling into the office. Rachel and I spent the first day interviewing our potential employees. After the fiftieth applicant, my head was starting to spin. There were so many of them, each one more eager than the last. They reminded me of myself and Emily when we were job huntin

ETHANFrom the moment I walked into the building, I knew that something was off. Not a single person dared to look at me, and everyone kept their head bowed as they hurried across the main lobby, dashing towards the elevators and glancing over their shoulders to make sure I wasn't going to rip their heads off. At first, I thought everyone just assumed that I was Marcus, and they were absolutely terrified of him. But that didn't make any sense. As far as I knew, Marcus had a close relationship with every single employee of Reynard Tech. And they didn't fear him as much as they respected him. But then, right as I was walking past the front desk, the receptionist nearly tripped over himself as he hurried over towards me, wearing the fakest smile I'd ever seen in my life. "Mr. Reynard!" he exclaimed. "Welcome back. It's a pleasure to have you here again.""Hello, Richard," I said, glancing at his name tag. "But I think there's a mistake somewhere. I'm not Marcus. I—""Oh, we know," he
