Elaine

The Roma Aesthetics Marketing Department was usually full of energy and noise, but now it had become eerily quiet. The room, once buzzing with the sounds of typing, printers, and conversations, was now lifeless. Desks that were once cluttered with papers and coffee cups were now empty. The bright lights above seemed to have lost their glow, highlighting the emptiness of the space.

The mood was heavy and tense. What used to be a lively place for teamwork and ideas now felt cold and abandoned. The silence was thick, broken only by the occasional ticking of the clock on the wall and the faint sounds of typing and hushed conversations. This place had suddenly become a total stranger, all because of the failure of Bride Essentials last night. What was even more shocking was discovering who was behind it and her complete lack of remorse.

No one could believe what had happened earlier. Everyone was at a loss for words. Of all people, Marie was the last person we would have suspected o

    TristanI sat in my office, twirling a pen between my fingers, my mind spinning with thoughts of last night. Elaine was all I could think about, and it felt like I couldn’t escape her from my mind. The way she moved with such confidence and grace was like meeting a stranger. I was stunned. After five years of marriage, I had never seen this side of her. Not once. Not ever. It was as if Elaine was completely unrecognizable in my eyes, and it bothered me. Elaine had always been so quiet and plain. She was a housewife, content to stay at home while I managed everything outside. I never imagined she had any talents beyond keeping the house in order. But last night, she was someone else entirely. Poised, smart, and completely in control. The way she interacted with the guests at Roma Aesthetics was like she had done it a thousand times before. I could hardly believe it was her first corporate job. In fact, no one would ever believe that she used to be a fucking omega who knew nothing but

    TristanAs soon as I heard Elaine was coming, my heart started pounding in my chest. What the hell?! Why am I nervous at the prospect of seeing her?Fuck! What is wrong with me?I clenched my fists, forcing myself to stay composed. I couldn’t let the secretary see how much Elaine’s visit was throwing me off balance. Taking a deep breath, I loosened my tie slightly, hoping it would ease the tension I felt creeping up my neck.“Please, ask Elaine to wait in the conference room,” I said, my voice surprisingly steady despite the chaos inside me. “She’ll be more comfortable there.”Before the secretary could even respond, I heard a familiar voice coming from right behind her. “No need for any unnecessary gestures. It won’t be long anyway.”My head snapped up, and there she was—Elaine Scott—standing there with that piercing gaze of hers, one that seemed to see right through me. I forced a smile, but it felt tight and unnatural. Damn this woman! What spell did she cast on me to make those pi

    MeganThe glass of champagne was cool in my hand, with tiny bubbles rising to the surface. I leaned back into the soft cushions, feeling them sink slightly under me. The bottle of champagne sat on the table as I relaxed on the sofa.My assistant knelt at my feet. Her fingers expertly massaged away the tension while I sipped on the sparkling drink. The bubbles tickled my nose, adding to the warmth of my satisfaction. She looked up at me with curious eyes and asked, “Miss Megan, you seem in a good mood today. What's the occasion?”I couldn’t help but smirk. “The rat that’s been irritating me is finally put in its place,” I said with such satisfaction. I felt a deep sense of relief, knowing that the rat that had been terrorizing my life had been pushed back to the sewage where she belonged. Elaine Scott and all those who chose to give her a chance. My assistant’s nose wrinkled in disgust. “Good. That vile thing deserved it.”“Indeed,” I replied, my voice laced with triumph. I was abou

    TristanI smirked and moved to a nearby chair, settling in as I watched Megan's face contort with that all-too-familiar expression. I didn’t even need to threaten her further. Her expression told me everything I needed to know.Panic flickered in her eyes, and though she tried to hide it, I saw right through her. Her hands trembled slightly, her shoulders stiffened, and her breathing grew rapid. She bit her lip, her fingers twitching nervously at her sides. Megan looked like a trapped animal with her fear tightening its grip on her.I knew these signs too well. The words I’d just spoken had hit their mark, and now the silence between us was thick with tension.Well, good. I want her to fear me. I want her to fear what was coming to her. “What?” I asked slowly, my voice dripping with sarcasm. “Are you going to say something, or what?”She froze, her body beginning to shake. Tears filled her eyes, and I could see her struggling to hold back a breakdown. Pathetic. She was falling apart

    TristanI paused as Megan's words hung in the air. Suddenly, something stirred inside me. A memory came back and I knew it was triggered by what she said.FlashbackIt was after our engagement was announced. The grand hall was full of people I didn’t like. They all congratulated us as if we were a perfect couple. My mother, who always cared about appearances, had pushed Elaine and me outside. She wanted us to have a "sweet moment" together under the moonlight. I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want to be anywhere near Elaine, but I had to play my part.At least for now, until I found the best opportunity how to get back at Elaine for what she did with Shawn. “You know what, Tristan? I feel like I am Cinderella now.”Her voice was bright and cheerful, and it grated on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard. How could she be so clueless and so oblivious to the hate I felt? I didn’t even bother to hide my disinterest in her. Yes, I agreed to the wedding yet I never accepted her to be my

    ElaineAfter the heartbreaking confrontation, I rushed outside. I couldn’t stand to be near the man who had done nothing but hurt me. I spotted a taxi and quickly wiped away the tears still clinging to my cheeks. I waved the cab down, and the driver pulled over.Inside the cab, Tristan’s words replayed in my mind. I stared blankly out the window, letting the tears flow freely again. The driver glanced at me occasionally through the rearview mirror, possibly concerned but unsure how to comfort a stranger in such distress.In the end, he just let me cry and focused on the road ahead.All I could think about was Tristan’s lies and the elaborate scheme Megan and he had orchestrated. Honestly, I was used to their behavior, but this time it was different. It wasn’t just me they were bullying but the entire staff of Roma Aesthetics and the families who depended on it.How could they do that without feeling even an ounce of guilt?My voice trembled with resentment. I wished I could slap Trist

    I was done. I was so freaking done!I couldn’t hold it in anymore. All the emotions I’d been bottling up surged to the surface, and I didn’t care who was in front of me. I could only bear so much, and I couldn’t hold these feelings back any longer.My heart felt like it had shattered into pieces. Tears streamed down my face, but my frustration burned even stronger. I slammed the pile of folders I was holding onto my desk, and the noise echoed through the office.Nancy looked at me, shocked by my reaction.“Isn’t this what you wanted? To see me quit?”I locked eyes with her with such intensity. I was done listening to her nonsense. I’d reached a point where I was tired of pleasing her or being intimidated by her anymore. All I could focus on was the frustration that had been building up and the deep disappointment I felt in myself for letting everyone down.Nancy shot back with equal intensity. “Yes, I want you to quit, but not like this!”I didn’t back down.

    ElaineThe day was finally coming to an end, but it felt like it would never end. The office was suffocatingly quiet. For the first time since I got hired at Roma, I was looking forward to getting home. My body yearned for rest, and my mind craved escape, even for a short while.I made my way to the side of the road. Each step felt like a mile. The weight of the day pressed down on me, and I wished I could just teleport to my bed. I let out a deep sigh, trying to push through the exhaustion. If there were a pill I could buy to ease this fatigue, I would gladly take a few just to escape this feeling.Suddenly, a voice cut through the stillness of the night.“Elaine! Can we talk?”I didn’t need to look to know who it was. Tristan’s voice was unmistakable, and it irritated me beyond measure. I kept walking, determined to ignore him, but his footsteps grew louder and closer. Before I could react, he was beside me, gently grabbing my arm.I pulled away sharply. I narrowed my eyes at him to

    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?

    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
