She paused, her eyes scanning the area, and there it was—the same figure she’d noticed before, standing in the shadows across from her apartment. Tall, cloaked in darkness, and watching her. A shiver ran down her spine.She blinked, and just like every other time, the figure was gone, as if it had never been there at all.

At the police station, the phone rang, piercing the quiet of the afternoon. Officer Morris picked up. "This is Sergeant Morris, how can I help you?" The voice on the other end was frantic. "There's been a terrible accident. A car is completely burned out on the old highway, about 20 miles from the city. You need to send someone quickly." "We're on our way," Morris replied, his tone serious as he hung up the phone. He quickly gathered a team, and they sped towards the remote location.

One evening, after dinner, Brenda and Jessica sat on the porch of the cabin, enjoying the cool breeze. Tofi lay at their feet, snoozing peacefully. "Jessica, can we talk for a bit?" Brenda asked gently, breaking the comfortable silence. Jessica looked up, sensing the seriousness in Brenda's tone. "Sure, Brenda. What's on your mind?"

I Came Back As A CEO Chapter 5 - The Meeting
Dominic found himself spending more and more time at bars with his old friends as the company's profits continually plummeted. The whiskey flowed freely, and the laughs came easily, but underneath it all, Dominic was spiraling deeper into despair. One night, he sat at the bar nursing his drink when his friend Mike slid onto the stool next to him. "Man, you look like hell," Mike said, signaling the bartender for another round. "Everything alright?" Dominic sighed, rubbing his temples. "The company’s tanking, Mike. I don’t know what to do. Nicole always had the answers, and now... I just feel lost." Mike clapped him on the back. "Hey, you’re not alone. We’re here for you. Why don’t you take a break from all that stress? It’s Friday night, let’s just have some fun."
