BeneathHe was truly right. “If he looks like my dad, then he should look like me, or is there something Mum was hiding from me?” I thought to myself. As frustration built, I narrowed my eyes at my mum.“Mum, do I really look like Father?” I asked, my gaze fixed on her. She seemed a little uncomfortable with my question and turned her gaze to Derick.“Derick, take your chips upstairs,” she said, and with that, he left, leaving the three of us alone.“Son, why ask such questions?” she said, her gaze fixed on mine and a frown creasing her forehead.“Don't you have his pictures? You can confirm your doubts with them,” she replied, raising my brows.I felt a little uneasy. “Sorry, Mum,” I apologized, but my mind was still clouded with uncertainty. “But if Derick truly looks like Dad, then he should also resemble me,” I said, prompting an immediate gasp from Lily, who almost choked.“Darling, are you alright?” I leaned towards her. She nodded, picking up the glass of water and gulping it d

CoincidenceThe light from my phone, indicating an incoming call, suddenly illuminated the room. Who could be calling at this hour? I wondered. I quickly reached to pick up the phone, rolling off Lily, who was still basking in the afterglow of our recent intimacy. After we made out, we continued for a while longer, enjoying each other's company. Derick was left in my mum's care because she insisted he sleep with her in her room instead of the vacant one. I never had the time or energy to argue with mum, who was always bent on doing what pleased her without considering others. It's an aspect of her I despise, and I prefer not to clash with her over it.I picked up the call and was immediately taken aback by what I heard.“Boss, I think there's a situation,” Louis snapped over the phone.My heart suddenly quickened. “What’s the situation, Louis?” My voice was a mix of uncertainty and anger.“Boss, we... we got to the mansion only to find the gatekeeper in a pool of his own blood,” his v

Worst NightmareCeline's POVSo it's true that William Wood is actually gone. When I suddenly had the opportunity to tell him I was his child, I thought I finally had the chance to have a father figure and the love I never had while growing up. They knew I would find peace at last and decided to cut it short. Why is life so cruel to me? Am I meant to live a life without peace, joy, or happiness? The tears that were already clouding my eyes streamed down my cheeks seamlessly.I was beginning to think I was meant for this. Maybe somehow, that's how life has designed it for me—a life of misery. The only parent I had left was gone just like that. Couldn't he have spared me the opportunity to identify who I was before embracing death? Couldn't he have held me in a warm embrace, looked straight into my eyes, and called me "daughter"? Something I have longed and prayed for. Now my efforts were in vain, with nothing left. I sobbed even more.“Celine, everything will be fine,” Evelyn consoled,

UnexpectedHe’s all have got left when everything came crumbling before my eyes, and I couldn't bear to leave him behind.His loving, tender face brought life back to me when it seemed to fade away. Henry gave me hope again and a fresh start.“This life... we are like flowers that sway in the morning but suddenly fade away when the sun shines. We are like passersby and will go away when our time is up on this earth. What will you be remembered for when your time is up?”The priest's voice pulled me out of my reverie. My heart suddenly quickened. If I leave this earth now, who would miss me or feel my absence? Perhaps only Evelyn and my beloved son, who was only a few months old. I had no one else by my side, and no one else to miss me. It was a reflective moment for me. “What will I be remembered for?” The question kept ringing in my subconscious.A new courage surged within me, and the worries were over. It was as if I had awakened, and another aspect of my being emerged—an aspect of

Jack's POVWhat would you do if you discovered that the one you considered prey would soon become a lion and tear you apart? That the one prey would soon be a thorn in your flesh?I felt betrayed, and my heart pounded in my chest when I received the information about Celine. She was not just a staff member at the company but also a figure who posed as his lost daughter. All these years with the boss, he never talked having a child, not to mention a daughter. How was that even possible when he despised associating with women?The boss was such a free spirit years back when he hadn’t amassed so much wealth, and back then, I was so close to him. He trusted me more than anyone and would disclose some hidden secrets to me. I remember those days when I was his PA; I tried to uncover the reasons why he chose to remain without a wife or even a mistress. He narrated his encounter with a certain lady whom he slept with one fateful day after being drugged at a party. He woke up only to find that

Depth The dirty, filthy scent of the air, thick with a sense of dread, suddenly irritated my being, sending shiver down my spine. I slowly opened my eyes, but what greeted me was darkness, impenetrable darkness. It felt as though I was in a dungeon, the walls themselves closing in.The air was thick and musty, carrying the rotten scent of death, making my stomach lurch. The urge to vomit surged, and I clutched my hand to my stomach, while my other hand covered my nostrils. I was suffocating. I doubted I could survive one more minute in such a disgusting atmosphere; the stench was overwhelming.The walls were made of rough-hewn stone, cold to touch and covered in patches of moss and creeping vines. Flickering torches mounted on the walls cast eerie shadows that danced along the corridors, revealing glimpses of rusted iron gates and heavy wooden doors reinforced with metal bands.The last thing I remembered was the guards dragging me to the car, Evelyn shouting and pulling at me, but t

UncertainI slowly opened my eyes as a bit of reality struck. My vision was blurry, and the pain in my body alerted me, but by now, I was warm. The cold chills were gone, my wet dress was slightly dried, and I could tell I was near a heater. I couldn't comprehend how, in such a short time, everything had changed. My body was almost steady, apart from the pain I still felt, which caused me to groan.I lifted my gaze slightly, only to meet an unfamiliar figure. My heart quickened, and I slowly sat upright, my fear evident in my expression. He was seated next to me, and my eyes narrowed as I suddenly realized I was in a moving car. Stunned by how and where I had been taken, I fixed my gaze on the figure, whom I presumed to be the boss, fear written all over my face.“You're awake. How are you feeling right now?” he asked quickly, interrupting my thoughts and making me feel more uneasy. He didn’t seem harmful—his expression revealed only concern and worry—but his voice was familiar, or wa

Where’s Henry“No sir, you might be mistaking me for someone else,” I lied, trying hard to mask my fear. How was I getting into more complicated situations every day? From Dad's death to the funeral, then the dungeon, and now I was with someone I had offended in the past, just when I thought I had a chance of escaping once again.“Why don't I believe you?” he spat, gazing directly at me, probably in deep thought. “And why does your expression contradict your words?” His tone dripping with uncertainty. At that point, my heart raced. Even in my feeble state, I wished he would just drop me off, but how could I be sure I was safe in an unfamiliar place like this? The only way out was to maintain my stance of not knowing who he was.“No, I’m right,” he said with a grin on his face. “You mentioned having a son earlier, which explains it all. The last time we met, you had a bulge, and now it’s clear. You're the one.” He narrowed his eyes at my flattened stomach. I was doomed. What could I do
