Horrid Haze

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-10 23:47:25

Kevin Fitzpatrick walks into the towering glass building of Unique Auditing with a feeling of purpose. His steps are confident as opposed to the ones he had when he had been thrown out of Campbell, as he makes his way through the lobby, exchanging nods with a few familiar faces, but he wastes no time in heading straight for the elevator. His destination is clear, being a supposed VVIP here, he is headed to the top floor, the CEO’s office.

The elevator doors slide shut, and Kevin feels the weight of the briefcase in his hand. It’s not just paperwork, it’s a lot of leverages, plans, and promises and even threats and evidences that could change the future of the entire Campbell Conglomerate, not in an exactly positive way, that is.

As the elevator rises, he reflects on the slight game he’s playing. He’s already secured John Worth’s company, and now it’s time to report on the progress to the one who is sponsoring all of his current lifestyle, safe to say his current boss.

The elevator din

    Bethany stands in the hospital corridor, her hand resting on the elevator button. She had previously planned to head over to Arthur’s in just a random visit but then there’s the distance and it can’t be arranged just randomly like that so instead of going to her own office to face those insisting protesters, something in her gut tells her to check on her brother, Mason, instead.She’s already at the hospital anyway, so it wouldn’t hurt to drop by, he’d probably be even more disappointed to hear that she came by the hospital and did not check up on him. After all, it had been a priority to visit but she had never gotten around and visited his office, and with everything going on, she just feels the need to see how he’s holding up.They haven’t met since that night he ruined her dinner.And it’s been a while since she has been able to visit her mum too, even though she makes to call her every day, she should ask about her from Mason as well and help her pass on her regards, she should g

    “Set up the camera properly.” She order bitterly, her eyes downcast as she watches Tina do the set up. The younger woman has a small smile on her face to show that in the end, she’ll triumph. She had told her not to do anything crazy anyway and she went ahead to instigate the world against a poor woman just because of her obsession and now she has been put, rudely, in her place.“Are you done?” Millicent asks her, a sharp edge to her tone.Tina nods, stepping back. “Do you want me to hand you the note once again so you can revise?”“No, its fine. I know what I want to say already.”“Camera rolling… Three, two… one. Go.”Millicent is an actress so it would be entirely weird if she is not able to put up an act. As she raises her head to stare into the recording camera, her eyes are slightly drooped at the sides to give an illusion of tiredness and then stay pretty at the same time.Tina snickers inaudibly.“Good afternoon fans out there, I am Millicent Atkinson.

    Years ago at Stanford University, a much younger Arthur Worth rushes across the campus grounds, his backpack slung over one shoulder and his books tucked under his arm. He’s already running late for his lecture and barely notices the bustling crowd of students around him as he walks through and around them, just trying to make it to class on time.As he nears the lecture building, his mind preoccupied with the material he’s about to study, Arthur doesn’t see the girl approaching from the opposite direction who is laughing at something she is listening to… Until it’s too late.Crash!They collide at the foot of the stairs, and suddenly everything is a blur. Books, papers, and even a cup of coffee go flying into the air. The next thing Arthur knows, he’s on the ground, his belongings scattered across the floor, and warm coffee stains spread across his shirt.“Damn it.” He mutters, looking down at the mess. His eyes then land on the girl, who’s already on her knees, frantically picking u

    Two years into the wedding, still the picture perfect billionaire couple, the duo attended all functions with their spouses, they did picnics, had fun like a couple should, then came that day.Millicent bursts into the house with a sheet of paper in her hands, her breathing coming in short, loud gasps.Arthur descends the staircase of their Beverly Hills house in Los Angeles. “Hon, welcome back. You look pale? Did something happen?”Millicent is too speechless to say a anything and just hands him the piece of paper, which turns out to be a pregnancy test.“I am four weeks gone. A month. I thought I just had a simple cold, nausea, of course sometimes we get nauseated and shit. But pregnancy? There is a baby growing inside me?” Millicent mutters to no one in particular.Arthur, on the other hand, is happy for the news. Their family will now be complete after all. He picks her up from the ground in a hug and twirls her around. His joy for the pregnancy overshadowing hers by miles. “This

    The lights in Unique Auditing company flicker once, then slowly began to fade floor by floor, casting the building into darkness. Each level’s lights went off in sequence staring from the grund floor, leaving only the top floor illuminated, the faint glow cutting through the night surrounding the tall building.Up on that top floor, a figure sits motionless and unmoving in the CEO’s chair, waiting patiently.As the final lights went out, the entire building was plunged into silence and darkness.The figure rose slowly, pulling off a black mask that had been obscuring their face for the whole day.

The weight of everything, the scandal with Sienna being his child, and the suffocating guilt of having an affair with her for years and now, she is dead, presses down on him, making it hard to breathe.But the worst part is the uncertainty, the part that he does not know.Had he been the one to kill her?

    Up in Arthur’s office after the short conference that is safe to say had left all of the reporters with even more questions than the answers that they have come for, Bethany sips some orange juice, laughing at something that Arthur had said.“You know, you are like the regular kind of CEO but you are a money grubber too. I can’t believe you said it out loud that you will get only richer with the lawsuits, come on.” Bethany comments, while laughing.“Well, if there is one thing I know people hate in our society, it is the rich getting richer… and yet, they are not helping themselves either. So I know that if I make that statement that I will use their money to get even richer, they will stop, or at least, it will reduce.Bethany bursts into another round of laughter.“Why were you at the hospital anyway?” Arthur asks, coming to sit on the same couch as she is.Bethany’s face lights up and then dies down. “I learnt quite a lot of things there today. I’ll start with Quinn. She told me th
