Four weeks had passed since we began our collaboration with Everett Innovations. During that time, Nancy, Marie, the Roma Aesthetics team, and I spent countless hours at the Marriott Building, fine-tuning every detail of our project. The collaboration had exceeded all our expectations, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.

Today was our final day before the big presentation. The atmosphere inside Roma Aesthetics was electric with anticipation and excitement. Our entire team gathered to celebrate our achievements and the hard work that had brought us to this point. Laughter and animated conversations filled the room as we reminisced about the journey and speculated about tomorrow’s presentation.

Marie, my closest colleague and friend, was beaming with pride. She had been instrumental in steering our project in the right direction, and her enthusiasm was infectious. No wonder she was awarded as an employee of the year for Roma thrice in a row. That surely was a testa

    ElaineThe day of the presentation finally arrived, and Roma Aesthetics was filled with excitement. The entire venue had a special energy. The grand ballroom was beautifully decorated. Soft, warm lights made the room glow with a golden color. The high ceilings had chandeliers that sparkled, and the walls were covered in rich, ivory fabric, creating a calm and elegant look.Every detail was carefully planned. We hired the best events team to make sure everything went smoothly. As our VIP guests arrived, they walked past flower arrangements of white roses and lilies. Servers moved through the room, offering glasses of champagne. The air was filled with the fresh scent of flowers and the delicious smell of appetizers.This day was very important for us as it was the launch of our marketing campaign for Bride Essentials, the top bridal couture brand on the continent. We were about to reveal Timeless Elegance, a new collection from them that also introduced the company’s rebranding. The col

    ElaineI held my breath, hoping the presentation would go smoothly. The room was quiet, except for the soft hum of people waiting. My hands were sweaty, and my heart raced. This moment was important for all of us. Everything depended on it going well. All the hard work and sleepless nights we had put in were now resting on these slides going off without a hitch.As the first slides began to play, I started to feel a bit calmer. The images were clear and beautiful, just like they had been during our practice. The colors were vibrant, and the designs looked flawless. I could hear a few guests quietly admiring the slides. For the first time that evening, I allowed myself to relax. Maybe everything would be okay after all.Then the voiceover began, resonating through the room with clarity and professionalism, enhancing the presentation. I noticed the guests leaning forward, fully engaged, their attention captured. The atmosphere in the room became more focused, and I felt a small smile fo

    ElaineI felt my heart sink further as the room seemed to close in on me. Nancy’s face turned red with anger. The light from the big chandeliers made her look even more intense. “That bitch!” she shouted, her voice echoing in the large room. “She sabotaged the event, didn’t she?”“No, Nancy,” I begged, my voice shaking. “Marie would never do that!”Nancy’s eyes were like fire as she turned to face me. The fancy decorations and plush seats seemed to make her anger even more intense. “Then who did, Elaine? Only you and Marie had access to the file! If it wasn’t her and it wasn’t you, then who?”Tears blurred my vision, but I had no answers. I was as lost as everyone else, standing there as the dream we had all worked so hard for crumbled to dust.To make matters worse, Mr. Smith, his wife, and the rest of our partners approached. The Chairman of Bride Essentials, Lauren Yang, looked particularly furious. I could feel her sharp gaze cutting through me like a knife.“What is going on her

    Elaine The air felt heavy, and the distant voices from the event I had just left made me feel even more alone. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat loud in my ears. I tried to breathe deeply, but the tightness in my chest made it hard.When I looked up, I saw Megan and Tristan walking towards me. They were framed by the warm, fading light, making the moment feel unreal. Megan walked with confidence, almost like she was hunting me. Tristan’s steps were slower, his eyes fixed on me. The difference between them was clear. Megan had a small, sly smile on her face, while Tristan’s expression was hard to comprehend. A knot formed in my stomach as they got closer. Fear and anxiety washed over me, knowing that nothing good could come from this. My pulse raced, and my body tensed as if I were preparing for something bad to happen. I wanted to run, to escape this situation, but my feet felt like they were glued to the floor.They stopped in front of me, and I saw the glint in Megan’s eyes.

    ElaineI noticed the look of dislike on Tristan’s face the moment he saw Trevor. His lips twisted into a frown, and his eyes narrowed as if he was upset. The air felt heavy with tension, and my heart started to beat faster with worry. But before I could think too much about it, Trevor was suddenly beside me.Trevor’s presence was comforting. His hands were gentle as they touched my shoulders, helping me stand up straight. His grip was firm but kind, steadying me in a way that made me feel safe. The warmth from his hands eased the tight feeling in my chest, and I began to feel a little better.“Elaine, are you alright?” His voice was soft and full of concern. “I heard what happened in the news and rushed over. I needed to see you, to make sure you were okay.”I nodded, unable to find the right words. I was grateful for Trevor’s presence, the way he always seemed to show up when I needed someone the most. As I nodded, I felt the tension in his body ease, as if he was relieved just to he

    TrevorThe streets were quiet as we made our way to Elaine's apartment. Her steps were slow, almost hesitant, and I stayed close, matching her pace. She kept her eyes down, lost in her thoughts, and I could feel the heaviness that hung between us. The night air was cool, but there was a tension in it, a reminder of everything that had gone wrong tonight. I didn't try to break the silence. I knew it wasn’t the right time for words.Her shoulders were slumped, and she took deep breaths now and then, like she was trying to calm herself. I stayed by her side, close enough to be there but gave her space. She needed that. I no longer want to add to the suffocation she was feeling at that moment. When we finally reached her apartment door, I hesitated, unsure if I should say anything. I wanted to make sure she was okay, but I didn’t want to push her.Yet in the end, I asked gently, "Are you okay now?"My voice was soft, barely above a whisper. I just needed to hear her say it, even if it wa

    ElaineI shut the door behind me and clutched my chest. My heart was racing, and I could hardly believe what I had just done. I had hugged Trevor, and I knew deep inside that it wasn’t just a friendly hug. It was a gesture of gratitude and appreciation for everything he had done for me. And yet, there was a special feeling to it. After that hug, I realized Trevor was more than just a friend. I glanced down at my hands, still pressed against my chest as if trying to hold onto that feeling. The realization startled me, and I felt a flutter deep inside. There was something hidden beneath this special feeling, something I couldn’t quite grasp. I touched my chest again, searching for answers, but all I found was confusion. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. My gaze fell on the couch, and I walked over to it, collapsing onto the cushions. My legs were shaky, and I needed to sit down. I buried my face in my hands, feeling overwhelmed.Was it love? Definitely not. At least, not y

    TrevorI was nine years old when it all began.I remember sitting on that old, worn-out sofa, crying hard. Tears streamed down my face as I clutched my mother's picture tightly, the only thing I had left of her. I held it close, hoping it could somehow protect me from the loud, angry voices coming from the next room.The noise from the other room was intense. Alpha Roman was shouting angrily. "That child is a mistake, Dad! I can't take him with us to raise beside my son. Don't you understand that?"His words hit me like a punch to the gut. I squeezed the picture even tighter, hoping it could somehow block out the harsh reality and make everything okay. But the pain and rejection were impossible to escape. I knew they were talking about me. It hurt more than anything I had ever felt.If only Mom were here with me.When Alpha Lucian's voice roared with fury, it felt like an explosion. "Mistake? But it's your mistake! You slept with his mother and fathered this child, and now you're deny

    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
