Richard

It had been a long day, but the day was far from over. I had even accused Emilia of drugging me that night, even though she claimed her innocence. It took me a short while but I finally realized how wrong I was. I was happy to find out she was carrying my child. Now, it seemed that Katherine was the one responsible for drugging both of us. I would get to the bottom of this. If I found out she was behind my own ordeal, she was in for even more trouble. She was already in hot water, but this? It could destroy her completely.

Emilia was fast asleep, and honestly, I couldn’t blame her. She had been through a lot, we both have and she was carrying my child. I watched her as he slept peacefully on the couch, her body curled slightly as she rested. It made me feel protective of her. I couldn't help but smile as I admired her, but then my mind turned back to Katherine and everything that had unfolded today .I needed answers, and I was going to get them.

I stepped out of my office, loo

    EmiliaI had just woken up to find myself alone. All alone in Richard's office. My head was throbbing really hard, and my eyes felt very heavy and weak. It was probably due to the pregnancy and the stress that followed from everything that has been going on. I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes and my temples as I tried to shake off the dizziness.I stood up slowly and carefully, the room was still spinning a little around me. I had no idea where Richard had gone to. I hadn’t heard him leave as I was fast asleep on the couch. As I walked towards the door, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my lower abdomen. I froze, gasping a little from the sudden discomfort. I placed my hand on my stomach instinctively, and the pain seemed to linger on for a second before it faded away just as quickly as it had come. What the hell was that?I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. The baby was okay. I was okay. It just had to be all the combines stress. That’s all it was. I wasn’t used to feeling so

    EmiliaThe sight of my best friend brought me a sense of warmth that I didn't know I was missing. Seeing her in all her felony was nothing compared to texting her or our long hours spent on calls.She ran towards me like a child who had just been promised a candy bar. I swear, if she didn’t know that I was pregnant, Bae likely would have jumped straight into her arms.When we finally embraced it was like a homecoming. We stayed like that for a while, just holding each other in the middle of the office, completely forgetting where we were. The people walking by didn’t seem to care much. They probably thought we were just another pair of friends who hadn’t seen each other in too long.Bae and her exaggerated antics always made me smile.After a moment, we pulled back.“Oh my God, what are you doing here, Bae?” I asked, still stunned. She could see the shock on my face, and it made her grin from ear to ear. "Oh, I didn’t come here for you, I only came here for a little bit of sightseei

    RichardIt's been three days since Emilia and Bae's little reunion. Things at my company now seems to be running smoothly.I sat behind my desk with my eyes glowing due to the reflection of my computer. I was going over the company's financial records, reviewing some data and making sure no one was screwing anything up.The kane group was expanding at a very rapid pace and I needed to make sure everything was right on track. The numbers had to add up, the strategy needs to flawless, and my employees need to keep being persistent. There is simply no room for errors.As I scrolled through the data repeatedly, the door to my office creaked open.I didn't need to raise my head to know who it was.The loud clicking of high heels across the floor made it clear to me it was the company's legal representative, Alisha Johnson. I didn't mind her company, so far it was strictly professional.She had been trying to make moves at me for months now but I didn't give in, and I'm glad I didn't. My

    Richard Katherine sat still in the interrogation room with her hands resting on the table in front of her.I stood right outside with Emilia behind a reinforced glass. The kind of glass where we could see what was going on and was being said on the inside but they couldn't see or hear us outside.A female officer sat across from her as I watch we watched outside behind the glass. Flipping through a file. She didn’t speak immediately, just reading whatever information they had.I stood there hoping to get some answers about what had happened that night."Do you think she'll confess, she is very hot headed you know." Emilia commented."She doesn't have a choice, we have enough evidence against her to put her in prison whether she talks or not." I scoffed. "Either way she better confess." "You’re being investigated for drugging Emilia Kane," the female detective finally said, her voice professional and neutral. Katherine lifted her chin as she smirked. "I want my lawyer."The nerve of

    Emilia“What the hell is going on, Jayden?” I asked sharply.I couldn't believe my eyes, even after stepping in here.I could hardly believe it hours ago when Bae had called and told me that she'd spotted him entering what was a supposed celebration in a grand hotel at the other end of the city when he'd claimed to have travelled for work. Despite my doubts I had come here abd she was right.The company he worked for, Kane Group was having a company wide gala and he hadn't told me.But that wasn't the worst part. No. Because as I had rushed in her I saw him.Jayden, my boyfriend of six years, wrapped around so comfortably with another woman.I felt the urge to vomit.Now, pulled away from the crowd he remained unresponsive, not even flinching from my question, instead his brown eyes narrowed and a hint of annoyance became evident.He looked at me as if I didn’t belong here in the first place. Like I didn't have the right to ask why on earth he was at a company party he told me absolut

    EmiliaI wasn't alone.My heart skipped a beat as I noticed the warmth and the faint sound of breathing that wasn't me. Panic surged through me as I whipped my head to my side to find an equally naked man beside me.Dark, messy hair covered the top half of his features and sharp, angular features that made him look like he had stepped out of a magazine.‘Snap out of it Emilia,’ I mentally slapped myself blinking back to reality.There were too many questions in my head. I tried to recall the entire day, but the last thing I remembered was talking to Jayden and then moving to the bar. Everything else was so…fuzzy after.Had I …spoken to someone?Frustration built up in me. I didn't know what the hell happened after and that was the key to understanding this. It definitely couldn't have been the alcohol considering my tolerance and that meant someone had done something to me. Like drugging me.And now I was naked with a man I'd never met.I was so lost in my thoughts that the moment I f

    ONE MONTH LATERRichardI’d re-watched the footage so many times that I knew every detail, yet in the silence of my office I clicked the mouse once more.The hotel footage from a month ago replayed itself. In the dim lighting of the hallway, a dark grainy figure stumbled and swayed while still rushing in what looked like panic as she used the wall to balance herself. Then after a short pause she found the door that led to my hotel room.I paused right at the moment before she stumbled inside, into what was my hotel room. My gaze traced her figure, immortalized in that single frame.A mix of frustration and longing ignited within me.It's been a month since that night, and yet, no matter how much I analyzed the footage, I couldn’t look away.This wasn’t how I expected things to happen. I was very detailed about my life, careful with every move I made.And yet, in just a single night, everything had spiraled out of control because someone had dared to drug me.And then there was her.Al

    EmiliaSomething was wrong.It was jarring. Things weren't supposed to be this way and for the most part, it was.Freedom felt good . It had been a month since Jayden's breakup with me and I had been thriving. I'd realized it after taking on the first five jobs within only two days of re-entering the job market. All this time, albeit unconsciously, I had been subduing herself.It all started years ago because of what Jayden used to tell me. I had graduated with better honors and opportunities than him but because of his insecurity, I took low level jobs to not make him feel bad and kept supporting him. Now I realized what a stupid mistake I'd made. In pushing myself down he had thought I was lower than him.Without Jayden dragging me down, I’d made waves in my freelance career. Jobs surprisingly kept piling up and for the first time in years, I felt like I was actually progressing. I was happier than ever in life.Until the symptoms started.At first it was just simple exhaustion and

    EmiliaWhat the hell? What the actual hell? It was her. It was Katherine who drugged me that night. Now that I actually think about it, it all makes a lot of senseThe realization of this truth hit me like a train, my body stiffening as the pieces came together. I actually thought I was crazy, I kept on questioning myself over and over again about what exactly had happened that night at the club. But now, it all made sense.I remembered vividly, she had approached me that night, all smiles and she came to mock me. My drink had been right in front of her, and I recalled that I had turned my back at her at some point. That must have been when she did it. That crazy bitch.I clenched my fists as my breathing became fast. I could not believe it. After everything, she was the one who had drugged me that night, setting everything in motion.I swallowed hard. Richard.Had she done it to him too?He had even accused me once, believing I was the one who spiked his drink. But what if Katherine

    KatherineI woke up the next morning feeling like absolute hell. My eyes were still swollen from a lot of crying, my head pounded, and my entire body ached from last night. But I refused to let it show. I was Katherine Smith, and I wasn’t going to let this break me.That bastard Jayden was gone. My father was now in prison. Everyone in the company was whispering behind my back, waiting for me to crumble. But I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction. If Emilia thought she had won, she was dead wrong.I picked myself up, put on my best dress, did my makeup to perfection, and walked into the Kane Group building like I totally owned the place.But I wasn’t just here to work today.I was here to ruin Emilia from the inside out.And I knew exactly who to use.As I stepped into the office, I saw Lucia, one of the lower ranked employees who had a bad habit of poking her nose where it does not belong. She was the type to gossip about literally anything and everything, always eager to spread rumor

    EmiliaThe morning was chill and filled with promise as I walked into the office, my steps were super confident, I held my head up high. It had been a while since I had felt like she truly belonged here, but today, something definitely felt different. The whispers from the other staff had faded. I could see the way people looked at me now, with total and absolute respect, and perhaps even a bit of admiration. The change was palpable and I liked it. Jayden was nowhere to be found, and neither was Katherine. They were probably hiding their faces dey to the shame and total embarrassing situation the had faced in multiple occasions. It was as though the storm they had caused had passed, and the calm was after a long time finally setting in. Iwalked in through the office, greeting a few employees who waved or nodded at me. I smiled back, feeling a slight sense of raw peace settle over me.I went through the usual routine of meetings. Richard had arranged for me to meet with some of t

    KatherineThe atmosphere around me felt really damp with silence in the aftermath of Jayden’s hurtful and bitter words. It was as if the whole world had frozen right around me, and all that remained was the bitter sting of raw rejection.I sat on the edge of the bed, my phone clutched very tightly in my hand. As my fingertips hovered over the screen, trembling ever slightly as I stared at Jayden's name. Why did it feel like I was holding onto a lifeline that was slipping away from me? Why?I dialed his number again and again,, for the hundredth time, hoping, praying that this time, he’d answer. But he just refused to.The call went straight into voicemail.I stared at the screen for a long moment before finally deciding to leave another message. The words came out even more shakier than I intended."Jayden, please… pick up. Pick up the bloody phone. I don’t understand. You can’t just walk away like this. You simply can't. Not after everything we’ve been through. Please, don’t do this
