I was caught off guard, shocked by his statement. Fear of failing to grasp success washed over me. But with the remaining determination and courage, I cleared my throat once again and continued in a louder voice.

"I am here as a representative of Roma Aesthetics to discuss a potential collaboration with Everett Innovations on our new marketing campaign. We believe that partnering with your esteemed company would greatly enhance the impact and reach of our initiative, and it would be an honor to have your expertise and innovation driving this project forward."

"Ahh," Mr. Everett responded with a single word. Then he turned his attention toward the pile of papers in front of him. As I went on with my short report, he only gave me a few nods and an uninterested look. I still continued up to the last moment, despite the growing lump in my throat and the sting of tears welling up in my eyes.

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Everett," I said, my voice trembling. I felt hopeless, thinking

    Elaine Inside the expensive limousine, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Trevor was beside me, and we were both clearly in awe of the luxurious vehicle we were in. It was unlike anything we'd ever seen, and to be honest, it was a bit overwhelming for me too. Since we boarded the car, which was exclusively owned by the chairman, no one had dared to speak a single word. The silence was almost suffocating as I sat there with Mr. Everett and Trevor. Trevor looked puzzled, clearly trying to piece together how we ended up in this situation. Half an hour into the ride, his curiosity got the better of him. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "I’ll give you a minute to explain what’s happening right now." I met his gaze, scratched my head, and leaned closer to him. "It would be wise to explain things later," I replied softly. The silence resumed, heavier than before, until Mr. Everett took a deep breath. Out of nowhere, he began to speak, breaking the quiet with a st

    Elaine“LEO!!!” I rushed to hug the kid, my heart aching at the sight of him. Lyndon and Trevor’s jaws dropped when they saw him too. Lyndon looked devastated, clearly upset about his grandson’s current situation. The kid was very dirty, probably hadn’t taken a proper shower for months. His arms were thin and looked very unhealthy, likely from not having enough food. Leo hugged me back tightly.“It’s been a while. Where have you been?” I asked excitedly.Leo started telling stories with the innocence only a child could have. “I went to Fishville to work. Someone asked me to run some errands and in return—” Leo pulled out some money from his pocket and showed it to me with a bright smile. “The kind man gave me 5 bucks. It was honest work and I’m happy about it.”Leo looked so satisfied and content with his little earnings that it broke my heart. I smiled at his innocence but couldn’t help feeling pity for the poor child. Just then, Trevor approached me from behind and started coughing

    ElaineThe office was filled with cheering and bright smiles. I could feel the weight of the biggest milestone the company had ever achieved. Even the head of the marketing team was speechless at how things had turned out for the whole company. Suddenly, I was startled as someone grabbed my hands from behind. A man was shaking my hands without permission."Congratulations, Miss Elaine Smith," the strange man smiled widely at me.I just gave him an awkward smile. He walked away like he had done something completely normal. I chuckled at the interaction and tried to look for Marie, but my co-workers were so eager to congratulate me. One of the pioneers of the marketing team raised his voice, capturing everyone's attention."Who would have thought our best employee here could pull off such an impossible task?"Everyone murmured, but with smiles on their faces. Their attention was all locked on me, making me feel a bit uncomfortable yet fulfilled. Not long ago, no one believed I could do i

    ElaineThe day of the party came in an instant. I found myself standing on the doorsteps of the hotel, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. I read the huge sign on the side of the door.“Mystic Hotel… This is it,” I whispered to myself.I had arrived just in time at the venue. The hotel seemed incredibly elegant just by looking at the entrance. I took a deep breath and put on my best smile, feeling a rush of confidence as I stepped inside. I headed straight to the front office to ask for some information, and one of the employees kindly offered to lead the way towards the venue.I boarded the elevator, and the hotel employee pressed the button for the last floor, the rooftop. Excitement crawled over my skin at the thought of the view and the elegance of the party. Important wolves would be attending, so Roma Aesthetics had to give their best. I was so grateful Mr. Smith had handled everything. It was more than I could have ever expected.The elevator door opened with a soft chi

    ElaineI turned quickly and walked away from them. Tonight, my intention was to have some fun, and I had no interest in interacting with them. I kept my back straight and my shoulders firm as I moved through the crowd.I could hear Megan’s disbelief as she confronted Tristan. “What’s wrong with you, Tristan?!” Those were the only words I caught before I was far enough away. I glanced back and saw Tristan and Megan still arguing. I no longer cared about their conversation and lightly shook my head, dismissing their drama.“MARIE!!” I exclaimed, spotting my friend in the corner. We were both happy to see each other, but the celebration started, cutting off our conversation. Mr. Smith stood proudly in front of everyone to give the opening speech.“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for joining us tonight. It’s wonderful to see everyone here to celebrate our success. This Thanksgiving party is a testament to our incredible year.”The visitors clapped their hands, and the employees cheered

    TristanAs I walked towards Elaine, she was the only person I could see. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, words I desperately wanted to convey to her. Elaine's eyes locked onto mine, filled with disgust. Just my presence seemed to sour her mood instantly. It was painfully clear she was uncomfortable with me closing the gap between us.“At least give me a chance to talk, Elaine,” I whispered to myself.When the CEO mentioned Elaine's name, I was stunned. I couldn't wrap my mind around how she managed to achieve such a significant milestone. It seemed unbelievable that my wife had done something worthy of such pride. Every employee was cheering for her.Elaine was undeniably different from the person she used to be. She had truly changed for the better, looking more independent and capable than ever. Clearly, the company had come to rely on her skills. Memories of Elaine's true capabilities replayed in my mind. It was harsh to admit, but I had always thought of my own wife as dumb,

    MeganI looked everywhere, hunting Tristan down for a confrontation. My heart pounded with anger, and my fists clenched at my sides. I couldn't bear the humiliation since we saw each other at the party. My eyes darted around, scanning every corner of the venue, but I couldn’t find even a shadow of Tristan."Arghh! Where the hell are you, Tristan?!" I muttered through gritted teeth, my voice a low growl.Passing by the lobby, I finally saw him sitting down. My heels clicked loudly on the floor, echoing my fury as I approached. Heads turned, and I relished the attention. Tristan didn’t notice me at first, but as soon as I stood behind him with my arms crossed tightly over my chest, he quickly turned around and saw me. His face twisted into a scoff, and he started to leave without saying a word.But I was faster. I grabbed his arm, my nails digging into his skin. "Where do you think you're going?" I burst out loud, my voice shaking with rage.He quickly shoved my arm away, and I felt his

    Megan "Hey, you! Give me another glass!"I leaned my head against my hands on the table, taking a deep breath while muttering curses about Elaine into the thin air. The bartender silently placed my order, giving me an uncomfortable look before going back to cleaning and wiping some glasses. I downed the drink like it was cold water."One glass of what the other lady ordered, please."I heard a voice from my left side and turned to see a she-wolf sitting close to me. I gave her a once-over from head to foot and rolled my eyes. The lady just chuckled and told the bartender, "Make that two. Hers is already empty."Hearing this, I spat out mean words. "Oh please, bitch. I have more money than you think. I can buy you that drink for eternity."The she-wolf removed her glasses and put them down on the table. Our orders came, but I didn’t even bother to look at them. Feeling the irritation bubbling up inside me, I continued."Find somewhere else to sit, cunt," I gave her another look from

    ElaineLiz didn’t say anything. Her mouth opened a little, yet no words came out of it. The usual brightness in her hazel eyes turned into something uncertain She glanced down at the floor, then back at me. The pink color in her cheeks earlier was gone. Now, her face looked pale. The happy look she had when she arrived was replaced by sadness. Her lips pressed together tightly as if she was trying to hold back her feelings.“I’m sorry,” she finally said. “I didn’t mean to ruin the mood. I should have kept quiet instead of sharing—”“Stop,” I said gently as I cut her off. I reached out and took her hand. I held her warm hand firmly to let her know what I really felt inside. “You don’t have to say sorry, Liz. You were just telling me something about your life. And I’m happy you did. That’s what best friends are for.”Her brow furrowed. "Yeah. But I don’t want to make things harder for you. I didn't even know what you were going through. What kind of best friend am I?”"It's my fault a

    ElaineTrevor and I were sitting on the sofa. We do not talk much but feel relaxed in each other’s presence. This was how we normally spent the rest of the night before going to bed. Then, we heard a knock at the door. Trevor gave me a quick nod before telling me to stay while he got up to check. My heart was pounding inside my chest. Eventually, I reminded myself to stay calm and don’t let my overthinking get the best of me. The door opened, and Liz rushed in before Trevor could say a word. She was so full of energy and was like she was bringing the sunshine into the room. In one hand, she held a paper bag that smelled amazing. In the other, she carried a pile of colorful board games that wobbled as she moved. Her smile was so big, it made me smile too. “Hope you’re both hungry!” Liz said, setting the bag on the coffee table. The smell of sesame chicken and fried rice filled the room right away. Expectedly, it made my stomach rumble.“I’m in the mood to play some games tonight. Wh

    Elaine“Hmm…”The kitchen was filled with the warm aroma of coffee brewing and the faint sizzle of something cooking on the stove. Trevor stood at the counter with his sleeves rolled up. He was too focused on chopping vegetables with such precision that seemed almost out of place in such a casual setting. I leaned against the counter opposite him as I watched his hands move.“You’re really good at that,” I teased to break the silence. “Where did you learn to cook like this?”He glanced up at me. A playful smile appeared at the corners of his lips. “A man’s gotta eat, Elaine. Besides, you’d be surprised what a few cooking shows can teach you.”I laughed softly. And it sounded light and free. Something I hadn’t felt in days. It amazed me how easily Trevor could make me forget the heaviness that seemed to cling to me lately.“Do you want to help? Or are you just going to stand there admiring me?” he teased before tossing a piece of chopped carrot in my direction.I caught it mid-air and

    MeganI was knee-deep in paperwork. My desk was full of piled files and documents demanding attention. The sound of the clock ticking faintly in the background was the only company I had in the silence of my office. I barely glanced up when Marie entered. But she sounded like something was urgent which made me pause.“Miss Megan, the peacekeepers are here. They said it’s about Elaine Scott,” she announced.Elaine Scott. My hand froze mid-signature. I looked up sharply and masked my unease with a calm smile. “Send them in.”Marie nodded. Then she stepped aside to let them enter. Two officers walked in. Their presence was shouting authority. I gestured toward the chairs opposite my desk. “Please, have a seat.""Thank you," They uttered before settling in. I put down the pen I was holding and smiled at them before asking, "How can I help you, officers?”One of the officers, a tall man with a stern expression, got straight to the point. “We’re investigating an incident involving Miss Ela

    TristanI had not planned to follow them. It wasn’t something I’d intended to do, but the moment I saw them leaving Elaine’s apartment together, curiosity turned into an uncontrollable pull. Trevor’s car disappeared into the distance. And I found myself trailing them. I couldn't resist it. The mere sight of Elaine beside him stirred a storm within me. I noticed how she smiled at him so easily. My blood was boiling as I realized that it seemed to belong to that bastard now. It was hard to believe that she would easily give it to another wolf just like that. It felt like all the moments we shared had disappeared. It felt like those were replaced by something I couldn’t reach.“As if you shared something wonderful with Elaine. You’re not fooling anyone, Tristan,” My wolf uttered sarcastically inside my head which I chose to ignore.Even if I walked a few distances away from them, they didn’t seem to notice me. They were too engrossed in their world. Trevor’s hand guided Elaine protecti

    ElaineThe drive to my apartment was quiet. Trevor was driving beside me, and his calm presence made me feel safer. That was something I was so grateful for.Earlier, Trevor said something that stuck in my mind. He told me I couldn’t let my fear control me. He was right. If I stayed afraid forever, I would lose who I was. I've come so far to claim my life back from my failed marriage and I couldn’t let all those efforts go to waste simply because I was afraid to die.As we arrived at the apartment complex, Trevor parked near the entrance. He looked at me and smiled. “I’ll wait here,” he said gently. “Take your time. I’m not going anywhere.”His words made me feel a little braver. “Thank you,” I said softly before stepping out of the car.Walking into the building, I felt a mysterious chill. Everything looked the same, but it didn’t feel the same. My heart started beating faster as I opened the door to my apartment. Suddenly, the memory of that awful box flashed in my mind. I stood

    ElaineI couldn’t shake the heavy feeling brewing inside me. It stayed like a shadow, always following me wherever I went. The thought just wouldn’t leave me alone.Someone wanted me dead, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Even when I tried to feel safe, my mind kept overthinking. I was even afraid to close my eyes, feeling that, at any moment, someone might barge through the door and kill me. Despite Trevor being here to accompany me, it did nothing to ease my fear. Not because I doubted his ability to protect me, but because I was afraid he would get hurt because of me again.My concerns were valid, right?Trevor must have noticed my distance. He always did. I heard his soft footsteps walking toward me and soon, he was sitting next to me. He didn’t have his usual smile. Instead, he looked worried.“You’ve been quiet all day,” he said gently, “I am not used to you being like this.”I let out a shaky breath and held the edge of the chair tightly. “How can I not be? Someone out t

    TristanMy room felt like a prison. The walls were cold and suffocating. I was a free wolf, but I obviously didn’t feel like one.I smirked at my own thoughts. As an Alpha, I shouldn’t have felt this way. Mom and Dad had given me a little kingdom of my own to rule. I had money to spend on anything and servants willing to do all my bidding.But none of that mattered. My mind wouldn’t stop racing. No matter how much I tried to distract myself, every thought dragged me back to the same place.After the council meeting earlier, I felt like even my birthright as Alpha could be taken away from me at any moment, just because they weren’t satisfied with my rule anymore.Pathetic, wasn’t it?I felt alone. Truly alone. I had no one to turn to. Nothing to quiet my thoughts or provide comfort when I needed it. For the first time in years, I felt the burden of being alone.My parents were long gone.My best friend, Shawn, had died years ago.Aunt Melina had lost her mind to the point where I could

    Elaine“Yes, Mr. Smith. It’s been… a challenging few days. I appreciate your understanding.”Mr. Smith’s voice echoed through the receiver. “Elaine, you don’t have to explain. Take the time you need. You’ve earned it. In fact, take as long as necessary.”I sighed. I was touched by his generosity but shook my head instinctively. Even though he couldn’t see me, I knew that the message would be clear. “A week will be enough,” I replied. “I just need a little time to clear my head and settle things. If I need more, I promise I’ll call.”“Good,” he replied after a pause. “But remember, the offer stands. Call me if you need an extension. We’ll manage, Don’t worry.”“Thank you,” I murmured, feeling a swell of gratitude. “I’ll keep you updated.” With that, I ended the call and set my phone down on the coffee table.A quiet moment passed before Trevor appeared. A steaming cup of tea was in his hands. He offered it to me with a small and warm smile. “Here. I thought you could use this.”I too
