With her apartment viewing plans unexpectedly canceled by the real estate agent that afternoon, Emily decided to make the best use of her weekend by beginning to pack her belongings, preparing for her eventual move.

She was currently residing in a small, modest apartment within an old refurbished building, where the walls were so thin that they might as well have been made of paper. The voices of her neighbors conversing loudly or tapping away at their keyboards perpetually echoed through the hallways, each sound an incessant reminder of her lack of solitude. This place had never been more than a temporary refuge—a hasty solution following her breakup with Ethan—something she had settled for without much thought simply because she needed a roof over her head.

After organizing her things for a while, she gathered some old items and trash that she no longer needed and made her way downstairs to discard them. As Emily reached the dim corridor with the garbage bags in her hand, she felt a

"They're going to keep an eye on the surveillance footage, and they'll notify the authorities once there's enough evidence."Emily sat in the passenger seat, her gaze drifting towards the window as her thoughts ran wild. Outside, the view gradually shifted from the chaos of crowded streets to the serene tranquility of upscale neighborhoods.

    Emily moved gracefully through the kitchen, the aromatic scent of fresh herbs and sizzling oil filling the open space, as she prepared dinner with care. She didn't know much about Alex's preferences, but she had decided on steamed fish, coconut chicken soup, and a simple yet perfectly executed stir-fried shredded potato. Judging by his tall and brooding demeanor, she imagined he would have an appreciation for the warmth of home-cooked dishes, something comforting yet rich in flavor. She added a delicate sprinkle of green onions, hoping to enhance the essence of each dish, silently praying it would suit his taste.The crackling of hot oil, the rhythmic sound of her chopping, and the soft sizzle of the vegetables gradually mingled into a melody of home, a symphony that brought life to the otherwise serene evening.

    The first rays of early morning light filtered gently through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft glow. Emily stirred in her sleep, slowly turning over, her mind still lost in a lingering sense of warmth. In her dream, Alex’s aristocratic face hovered close, his dark eyes smoldering with intensity.

Every inch of him was pressed tightly against her, his hand sliding around her waist with a possessive strength that both captivated and overwhelmed her. Their breaths mingled, and the sensation of being engulfed by him seemed to erase everything else, each heartbeat echoing louder until it felt as if nothing existed outside of that heated entanglement.Emily could feel herself losing herself in the fervor of that dream, slipping further into a desire that felt dangerously deep.Suddenly, she gasped, her eyes snapping open, the vividness of the dream evaporatin

    After finishing their game, Sara headed to the locker room to change, and Jay, without hesitation, followed her in, quickly shutting the door behind them. The demands of the Black Friday project had kept them both incredibly busy, and it had been a while since they last had a rendezvous. To make things worse, Jay's wife had recently taken to dropping by unannounced on weekends, which left them no room for privacy. The secluded locker room seemed like the perfect opportunity—a rare moment for Jay to indulge himself.As soon as Jay stepped inside, his desire got the better of him.

    After hanging up the phone, Alex's eyes remained cold, his fingers lightly tapping on the table. He knew Leo would thoroughly investigate the matter, but he was also aware that the malicious report against Emily was far from simple. The anonymous letter was clearly just the tip of an iceberg, hiding beneath it a formidable force. Somewhere along the way, Emily had unknowingly stepped on someone's toes, or perhaps she had become their target.On the other end of the call, Leo ended the conversation with a faint smirk. There were people with hidden agendas in the company—he had long suspected it. Such a cunning, malicious report was beyond the capabilities of an average employee. It was time to test just how deep this murky water ran.The morning sun streamed through the glass of the office building, illuminating the polished floors with a warm glow.

She arranged the dishes with precision: pan-seared salmon glistening with golden perfection, bright red poached shrimp piled neatly on a platter, a fresh salad with crisp greens, and a bottle of handpicked red wine to complement the meal. Every dish reflected the care and thought she had put into this dinner, her own subtle way of expressing gratitude. As Alex entered the living room, his eyes scanned the table, a hint of admiration lingering in their depths.“Looks good,” he said in his low, even tone, as he pulled out a chair and took a seat.Emily gave him a gentle smile, settling into the seat across from him, lifting her glass for a toast. “Thank you for all your help,” she said warmly, “and also, thank you for the gift you brought back today.”The gift from Alex was a delicate silk scarf, its soft fabric and intricate pattern clearly marked it as something special, crafted by
