The Breaking Point – Axel and Sarah Struggle to Maintain Control

Sarah had spent years perfecting the art of lying.

She could lie faster than anyone could blink an eye.

She'd lied her way out of every desperate situation.

And now?

She stood before Fraser, her eyes fixed on his as his face clouded, reading through the deposition that the triplets had signed.

Sarah had scant time to think.

The Rooftop Confrontation – Sarah's Ultimate Lie

Fraser's fingers tightened around the folder, his knuckles turning white.

"Sarah," he panted, his voice low and threatening,

"tell me this is a forgery."

Sarah's mind was reeling.

    Fraser Walks Away – The Price of Betrayal His feet had been pulled from under him. His fingers relaxed on the folder, the papers slipping from between them, flowing out on the bonnet of his car. Emails. Transfers. Deception. It was all founded on deception. And Sarah? She simply stood there in front of him, eyes open and desperate and urgent. "Fraser please," she gasped, stepping closer to him "It isn't what you think." He laughed a harsh bitter sound. "Not what I think?" he growled, low and rough. His chest ached. Because despite all the evidence standing before him, there was still that stupid, faithful part of him that he'd loved her. That had trusted her. But now? All he could do was think about the betrayal. Jade folded her arms. "Not wo

    As the hush of morning fell, whispers of mischief danced across the soft light filtering through the windows."Jasmine, breakfast is ready". Jade's voice cut sharp through the quiet, resounding across the house. "Got it coming!" Jasmine responded chirpily while her voice still tinged with sleep. She stretched out lazily, feeling the cool air brush against her skin as she pulled herself up from bed."Let me shower now," she mumbled while removing her clothes and stepping into the bathroom, turning on the water before pouring soap into the bathtub. The warm water surrounded her, washing away a tidal wave of calmness over her.Finally, some peace, she thought while brushing her teeth as the hot water soothed the throbbing headache that lingered on her, her body drying with each part of her towel. No sooner was she near the closet than the door swung open with a bang."Jasmine We have been waiting for so long. Come on so that we can finally have some breakfast!" Jayla hastened in, fru

    He hastily undresses, his hands shaking as he fumbles with his buttons and zippers,his chest heaves with ragged breaths, and sweat glistens on his forehead, trickling down his temples in tiny rivulets, as he rushes inside the bathroom.He stands in front of the mirror, stroking off his makeup, revealing his real face; a sly grin spread across his lips. He turns on the shower, letting the water cascade over his body, erasing any remnants. He wraps himself in a bathrobe leaving no trace of what had transpired.He opens the door and she instantly wraps her arms around him, their lips meeting in a hot steamy kiss."Baby, what took you so long?" I've been knocking for a while now she says, her voice laced with a playful, impatient tone. He replies, a beam flashing across his face, “I just got back from work and decided to take a quick shower.”She pulls him closer, her breath warm against his ear as she whispers, “You didn't wait for me,” her hands roaming over his body, teasingly close

    "Jade let out a scream that reverberated through the house, her face radiating pure joy. 'What happened?' Jasmine asked, her eyes wide with curiosity. "I just got an invitation from Elysium Arts Gallery, the one I've been longing for,'Jade replied, her voice quivering with excitement." "Oh my God, Jade, that's incredible!" Jasmine exclaimed, rushing over to hug her. Congratulations, my baby! I knew you could do it. Jayla chimed in, her smile warm. So, what are you going to wear to the event? Jade's cheeks flushed happily. I haven't decided yet, probably the top I bought at Louis Vuitton when we went shopping," she replied, her heart brimming with gratitude. She felt so blessed to have sisters who were always there for her, lifting her with so much love and support. As Jayla walked upstairs, her mind still buzzing with excitement about a coffee date with Axel, Jasmine's gaze followed her, noticing how springy her steps had been lately and how often she smiled these days. “Hey

    She opened the door to find her sister standing in the hallway, Jasmine looked slightly flustered but managed to smile, “Hey Jayla, can you go to the grocery store and pick up a few things?" "I'm in the middle of cooking Dad's soup and don't want to leave it unattended.” Jayla blinked, still tangled from where her thoughts had been. “Oh, sure, just give me the list,” she said, reaching for the list in Jasmine's hand.She glanced briefly at the list, then looked down at her dress, smoothing it in front of the mirror.As she adjusted her dress in front of her mirror, Jasmine's voice grew softer. “You know, I'm worried about you.” Jayla turned, her gaze meeting Jasmine’s eyes in the mirror. “Worried about what?” Jasmine stepped closer, her face stern. “You seem different these days. You know, happier but also I don't know, a little distant.” Jayla's smile faltered slightly “It’s just I'm still getting to know him. But I like him, Jasmine, he's different.” Jasmine nodded thoughtfully.

    Jayla lingered beside the herb stall far longer than was called for, her gaze set on where Jade had disappeared a few moments past.The bustling market seemed to close in around her, the vibrant voices of vendors calling out their last deals of the day blurring into a distant hum. She could still see Jade's figure etched in her mind-her sister's shoulders drawn tight, her steps quick, purposeful. Too purposeful.*Why hadn't she said that she would be here?* Jayla thought, the idea nipping at her like a flea. They shared almost everything she had thought. A twirl of unease curled in her stomach as she turned back to the herb stall, fingers tracing the edges of a bunch of parsley without really seeing it.The heavy phone in her pocket seemed to reverberate with Jasmine's call, still ringing in her ears, but it was something entirely different that held her attention. Jayla couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. She could almost feel it like a thick, invisible thread tuggi

    The plates clattered softly as the triplets moved in sync, cleaning up after the dinner they had shared with their family. Within the air remained the warmth of laughter and conversation, though Jayla couldn’t shake off the feeling gnawing at her since earlier in the evening. In gold, soft, the kitchen was aglow, faintly scented with roasted chicken and spices.Jade wiped her hands on the dish towel and smiled to herself, her voice light. "I just love Sarah. She's such a sweet person. I don't know what we would do without her."Jasmine, who was drying a plate, nodded in agreement with her sister. "Yeah, she's practically family.We're so lucky to have her. Honestly, I can't imagine what life would be like without her now."Jayla's hands moved mechanically; her fingers wrapped around plates and utensils as if on autopilot. Her mind, however, was far from the lighthearted chatter between her sisters. Instead, it was back in the fading light of the evening, watching Sarah walk out the d

    Axel jerkily pulled the phone away from his ear, cutting the call with Jayla mid-conversation. With his heart racing, he turned toward Audrey, his fiancée, who was at the door, her arms crossed, suspicion clear in her eyes."To whom were you talking to?" Audrey asked this time more softly, but still laced with curiosity.Axel thought fast and put his best smile to diffuse the tension: "Oh, it's nothing. You know this shopping mall I work at? They want to throw a party, and I suggested, 'Why not do it at the beach?' I was talking with a colleague about that.Audrey's brow furrowed a moment longer, suspicion yet in her gaze. Axel's heart pounded against his chest as he worked to will the calmness down into his limbs, his lips curling into a well-rehearsed smile. It was an instant change in mood; Audrey softened, her head lighter now as she laughed-the wave of her hand dismissed the matter.Ah, that's all? I was starting to think you were planning on keeping some kind of secret from me.

She glared at her phone, reading the vague text message again and again: "Lies fall apart quickly, Sarah. Are you able to keep up?" She had a choice. 1. Panic. 2. Hit back. Sarah was not a panicker. She seized her coat, pulled her keys from the table, and shut the door to her apartment on one thing and one thing only. Get Fraser. Before the others.

She was seconds away from losing everything. Fraser still held the folder Jasmine had given him, his eyes reading the pages slowly, laboriously. Each second seemed to drag on like an eternity.

Slouched shoulders, tilted head, a little to make her appear fragile, unsure. Vulnerable.Axel devoured it.He was lying along the bar, his eyes fixed on her in a hunter's stare, balancing his prey."You look lost," he said, smooth, practiced.Tressa let out a little, hesitant laugh—not too wonderful, just rather small enough to show that her guard was weakening."I guess you could say that again." dropping her gaze as she shook her head as if she didn't want to burden him with her personal issues, though. "It has just been really tough for me this past couple of months. I thought starting over here would be a fresh start, but now…" She let the sentence trail off without completing it.Axel's mouth curled into a tiny twitch of a smile.She could already imagine the thoughts plaguing hi

Whiskey and cigar smell hung in the air and jazz seeped from some ancient speaker far across in the corner.Jayla and Jade sat observing her from behind across where she was sitting, nervously protected.They waited.Then Jack showed up.He was wearing a black leather jacket, smile smeared across his face, still cutting. Jack eased in next to Jasmine and glanced at her sisters before he reclaimed his seat in his chair."Long time, ladies," Jack slurred. "Now, dish—what did you get your noses out of joint about this time?"Jayla was scowling, but Jasmine wasn't as fast on the draw."You get together with someone?" she asked boldly.Jack smiled. "Not anyone." He moved in close to her. "I met the best."Jade raised an eyebrow. "Yo

    The Aftermath – A Plan Is Born There was quiet in the apartment. Not because there was nothing to say but because there was too much to be said. Jasmine sat and observed Jayla and Jade sit opposite her shell-shocked by what they had just discovered. Their bodies remained still, and their faces expressionless, yet she could sense the energy flowing from them—anger, betrayal, disbelief. Jayla broke the silence. Her voice was cold and biting. "We're calling the police." Jade jumped up to vigorously nod, jumping off the couch to grab her phone and rushing back with it. "This is attempted murder. This is—a conspiracy. We have evidence. We can put this to rest once and for all." Jasmine gulped in a mouthful of air. No. Not yet.
