Mike's secretary knocks gently on his door.

"Don't come in." Mike says grumpily, not looking up from the documents in front of him.

Knowing him and his moods all too well, she opens the door and enters. "I have what you asked me to get for next week Friday."

Mike looks up immediately, making the importance of whatever it is triple in her hands. "Bring it here and show me."

She walks to his table and places the tab in front of him. "Here is his schedule and here is hers. Friday night, he has a business meeting in Washington DC so he won't be here for that night. He'll be back the next day so she will be staying alone at the mansion that day."

Mike's eyes lights up and it doesn't skip the secretary who's not exactly oblivious to what his plans are. "How about the product I asked you to get for me?"

She shakes her head. "That one is a bit harder to lay hands on. I was able to get his own schedule off the company website and hers by sneaking it off her secretary's table. But that product,

    "I'm going for an overnight business trip by the end of this week." Ashton mentions as he takes a bite of his lunch."Yeah, you mentioned it last week as well. I'm genuinely happy for you." Ivy smiles, knowing the kind of deal he is traveling to settle. "So are you saying this deal will be like a new start for CR?"Ashton nods before voicing out. "Yes, it's totally going to be. It's a trillion dollar deal after all. After a lot of deliberations and pitching and investments, they have agreed to invest. And if they do, everything will be better for my staff, but it'll start with you."Ivy laughs lightly. "Sweet words from the mouth of a man is like sweets, after licking it for a while, it reduces till there's nothing." She jokes and pretends to continue eating while Ashton chuckles."You didn't just say that to me..."He stands up and walks to her side of the table, tickling her in the ribs and she laughs uncontrollably, giving up."Fine fine.

    "That's a brilliant thought. How do I get it in her drink though?"Roger laughs. "I think that's up to you, you want to fuck her alone after all.""Don't worry, I would have you with me. You'll be my watch guard, and I may even give you the spicy news of it all when I'm done."Roger rolls his eyes. "Like a third wheel? How about I bring my own woman then?"Just a bait but he already knows what Mike's answer will be."No, what if she makes noise and it wakes Ivy up before we complete what we are done? By the way, do you know how many hours the aphrodisiac will work for? I'm sure I'm going to be up for many many rounds that night with her, especially as she would be the one throwing herself at me, begging me to fuck her..." His eyes take on a hazy faraway look as he's imagining and looking forward to that day.Roger shakes his head and pushes him. "Stop daydreaming... The time will come, you don't need to imagine it before the time. You'll just get disappointed when the time comes."Mik

Ashton orders the driver at the backseat, sitting at the back with his wife, Ivy, their hands intertwined."Come on, I'm only going for one night, I'll be back before you know it."Ivy does not respond and places her head on his shoulder."I thought you said you were not sure if you are going to miss me? What's this sudden show of affection now?" He teases, squeezing her hands gently. I.She looks up at him. "I wish I said yes to going with you. Now it's too late. Come back fast okay?

    "What are you doing?! Come on, let me go... I'll give you everything I've got, just release me." Richard pleads and begs on his knees with a black cloth tied over his face.A gruff laughter echoes in the room. "What have you got to give me that I don't have already?" The unknown man asks, sitting in the shadows and watching the man tied less than ten feet of him.Richard shivers for some reason. He doesn't know this voice and yet it seems so familiar to him... Fear clouds a person's memory anyway. "I have a lot. I am Richard Wright. Just let me make a call to my family and you'll know how far my hands go.""Your family? That whore you sleep with? Or the actual Wright's who exiled you less than a month ago?"Richard swallows. "I see you know everything. Just let me go, I'll do something for you, anything.""You can't even do anything for yourself than try to force yourself on your ex wife. Disgusting idiot."Richard scoffs.

    Arielle's heart raced as she was led back to her cell by the stern as always female police officer. The harsh fluorescent lights overhead illuminated the grim surroundings of the police station, casting long shadows in the gloomy evening.Arielle thinks to herself that now, they have no use for her anymore since they now have a new lead. She'll probably just be abandoned, be left behind at the cell until something makes them remember her once again.With each step, Arielle's mind churned with a whirlwind of emotions—fear, frustration, and a sudden burning desire for freedom. As they approached her cell, she couldn't help but notice the long corridor leading to the exit, tantalizingly close yet seemingly out of reach. The lights from the hallway that she has become so familiar seemed to shine even brighter in the evening of the day.Suddenly, a very wild idea took hold of her, fueled by desperation and a sudden energy rush. Without a moment's hesitation, Arielle lashed out, her fist co

    The arrival in Washington DC mirrored the twilight spectacle Ashton had grown accustomed to in New York. Its a city alive with the energy of its inhabitants as day surrendered to night.

The sight of the sprawling cityscape, with its gleaming monuments and bustling streets, stirred memories of their plans to travel together.Before Ashton could fully immerse himself in the sights and sounds of the nation's capital, his phone buzzed with a message from Ivy.

    Grant Hall sat alone in his dimly lit office, the soft glow of his computer screen casting shadows across the cluttered desk. Outside, the city buzzed with life even as the night descended, but inside the confines of his office, the atmosphere was one of solitude and silence, just as he loved it.As the hours stretched on, Grant's thoughts were consumed by the case that had consumed his every waking moment—a puzzle with more questions than answers, and stakes higher than he dared to imagine.Just as he resigned himself to another long night of solitary work, a gentle knock at the door shattered the silence. Startled, Grant glanced up to see Wren standing in the doorway, a small bag of food in her hand and a small smile on her face."Wren," Grant greeted her with a weary smile, gesturing for her to come in. "What brings you here at this hour?"Wren stepped into the office, her gaze meeting Grant's with a mixture of unreadable feelings and determination. "I knew you'd be working late to

    "Calm down, she'll be fine." "How can I be calm when I can hear her screaming her lungs out here!" Ashton half yells at Grant and then composes himself. "Sorry but I can't help feeling like this when her screams seem to be pushing at my heart right now." Grant smiles and puts a hand on his shoulder. "You'll be fine." In a little bit, the agonizing screams stop and there's calm. Ashton springs to his feet the third time in a minute. A nurse comes out. "She delivered safely. It's a baby girl. She's been dressed now. You can..." She hears her name being called again and goes back inside, not finishing her sentence and the look she gave to Ashton makes him three times more scared. Ivy is in the labour room, her contractions had suddenly started while on a road trip so Ashton had drove like his life depended on it. Well, maybe because his wife's life depended on it and so did his. The baby had come two weeks earlier than the date she's supposed to arrive which has got all of them

    She hugs him gently on the bed and presses a blue button above his head.In about a minute, the doctor with his levy of nurses open the door and come inside. Ivy leaves them to it and steps out for the moment. As soon as she steps out, everyone crowds around her."What's wrong?""Why are the doctors rushing in like that?"Ivy smiles and motions them to calm down. "He woke up just now. I called the doctors for their routine check. We may be able to see him after his checkup."They all sigh in relief and some even hug in relief.She waits with them outside and after a little while, the doctors and nurses finally come out of the room."He's fine now. You all can go in to see him."Without waiting for any other confirmation of any sort, they all push past them like the really big family they are portraying and go inside the room, Ivy goes in last but Veronica gives her the chair so she won't stay standing, tired because of the life growing in her belly.At first, there's nothing but then

    The next three hours is a flurry of activities as their families begins to troop in, Grant joining them at a point."Where is he?" Judith asks as soon as she arrives, talking Ivy's in his."They just wheeled him out of the surgery room. I was told to wait outside while they set him up or something."Judith nods. "Oh thank goodness. How did you find him?"She glances at Grant who shrugs right back at her. "I had help from a police officer. He helped me locate him.""Don't tell me it was that one on the news?" Veronica chips in as she comes by, coming into the discussion."Yes, it was him. He just wanted Trust Financials as a reward but I knew he was going to betray me anyway so I didn't really give him.""But the news didn't say you were there?" Judith quips this time."Well, I left there with Ashton and came to the hospital so I wasn't really there. Just popped in and out." She smiles, turning slightly red as she covers one lie with another.Grant laughs and then quickly masks it with

    "Grant! Watch out!" Ivy yells as she grabs the gun laying closest to her.Grant whips around and stares right into the barrel of a Beretta '94 that had been left behind by one of Mike's own men.Mike chuckles painfully. He glances momentarily at Ivy who's fiddling with the gun in her hand and scoffs. "You can't even handle it, how can you use it?" He takes his eyes off of her and focuses it on Grant. "So you killed my little brother because he raised the gun at you first? Why am I not dead yet?"Grant rolls his eyes. "Is this one of those villain long talks? I'm sick of them, come on. Just drop the gun and accept your fate. Is that so hard? You lost the fight. Well, leave then." Grant mutters disinterestedly even though he's looking right at a loaded gun.Mike shakes his head. "A fight isn't over until it's really over. Do you know why I took that man? Her husband? After she passed out, I was determined to make him a widower who lost his baby by not letting her to go the hospital on t

    Recovering from the gunshot and sudden appearance of Grant, Ivy runs for Ashton's who's very weak and his pulse is irregular. She looks around and her eyes land on a bunch of keys on one of Mike's men's trousers.He smirks at her when he sees her eyeing the keys. "Come get them darling."There's a second gunshot and a glaring hole appears right in the middle of his forehead and he falls to the ground. Wordlessly, Ivy runs for his body and removes the key. Mike's men all flee seeing that one dead. They all drop their weapons and run away, leaving Hank and Mike.The fact that her brother just murdered someone doesn't count at in the current circumstances. She loses the chains that he's been tied down with and he falls limply down into her arms. She holds him up with her strength, not letting him hit the ground, the same way he had cushioned her head that night Mike had hit her in the stomach.He moves ever so slightly and his hand come to rest on her legs before he closes his eyes, a ve

    True to his words, Hank calls her in thirty minutes. Reminding her that she has thirty minutes to get there. "Where am I meet you?" She asks him on the call."Grey Street Garage..."She immediately springs up from her chair, grabs all the documents from the table and hisses, remembering that place. She had been locked in a warehouse on the same compound for two nights. She inhales sharply and she's sure she's ready to go there.Not like she has a choice anyway.Anita sees her breeze right by but she doesn't say anything, guessing it's about the call that brought back her appetite momentarily. She sighs, wishing her boss well. If everyone in the whole wide world has to go through such thing, she'd never wish it on Ivy. She's basically the best boss she's ever had.The best of the best.Which is why she wishes her luck silently as the elevator doors close with Ivy inside.As soon as she's on the ground floor, she dashes for her car, checking the time every few seconds. It takes about t

    The first day went by...So does the second.On the third day, it has Ivy in a bind, pacing in her office.Anita comes in with a plate of vegetable salad and mashed potatoes, and steak in another plate along with another takeout cheeseburger and fries, even chicken nuggets as well, hoping she would eat one of the many dishes.She hardly acknowledges her entrance as she sets all of them down on the table and looks at Ivy as she paces around her table, her eyes not leaving her phone.Even Anita has no idea what she's waiting for but it seems to have so much importance to her so she can't interfere but she can eat while waiting... Right?"Ma'am, you won't eat lunch again? This is the third day you're skipping your breakfast and lunch."Nobody knows about the baby except her family, his family and himself.She looks askance at Anita and then looks away again. "I'm fine. I ate a lot last night.""Really? I was the one who threw the dishes away this morning."Anita has been the one bringing

    "Ma'am!" The officer yells as he bangs his palms flatly on the table. "This place is no joking area. There are conclusive evidence against you, all of this interrogations are simply formalities! Do you accept the fact that you did kill Tiara or not?"Yale scoffs. "Technically, Richard killed her not me."In the interrogation room directly upstairs, Richard scoffs. "That bitch said so? She's just trying to shift blames. She was the one who absolutely killed Tiara. As Ivy said in the press conference, I only aided and abetted. I am well aware of that and I am not denying it. But I really didn't kill Tiara."Downstairs. "He aided and abetted? That rat. He was the one who dragged her body to the car and suggested we dump her in the ocean!"Upstairs. "That whore. She said I suggested it? She hit Tiara over the head and make her pass out which I totally witnessed. Then we thought she had died. Thinking of it now, she had not even seemed any scared at all, she just said we should throw the b

    A murmur ripples through the whole crowd.Time seems to stand still.The point exactly was that nobody was expecting that was what she had come to say. Nobody, not even Anita who plugs in the flash drive and the presentation begins.Almost soulless and robot-like, Ivy turns around to the projector behind her that has a picture of cars. Not very specific car but a lot of them.Then she begins her presentation, using the laser pointer to point at the things that matter. "We all know Tiara died and her body had been fished out of the sea. Well, she didn't drown, she was murdered so that means she had been carried or somehow transported to where her body had been dumped. There are things called dash cams..." She uses the laser to point just as the image changes into a car's close up view.There is a small device with a blinking red light and she points to it. "That's called a dash cam and not every car has it but every two of five does. Which is why, from the place she had been killed, I
