Her office became abuzz with interest, every member of her crew racing in opposition to the clock to make certain every detail changed into place. Leila coordinated with the media, at the same time as Elijah worked closely with Mr. Graham to stable prison protections for Paulina in case Vincent retaliated.
“This needs to be faultless,” Paulina said at some stage in a briefing. “If we pass over even one element, Vincent will slip via our arms.”
Elijah nodded, his jaw tight. “We’ve blanketed each other's attitude. But once this begins, there’s no turning back. Are you equipped for that?”
Paulina met his gaze, her voice consistent. “I’ve been prepared for this because the m

Vincent Crane’s empire turned into crumbling. His pals were turning on him, his fabricated allegations against Paulina have been unraveling, and the government had been remaining in. But Vincent wasn’t completed. Paulina stood in her workplace, the air thick with tension as Leila paced in front of her. “We’ve traced the source of the faux files,” Leila started out, handing Paulina a report. “Vincent employed a private corporation to forge them. The true news is we have proof to show it. The bad news is he’s escalating. There’s chatter that he’s making plans for something drastic.” Paulina frowned, her palms drumming on the desk. “What form of drastic?” Leila hesitated. “We don’t recognize it yet. But Elijah’s crew is operating on it.” Meanwhile, Elijah turned into assembly together with his security contacts, making sure that every angle became blanketed. He returned to Paulina’s office that nighttime, his expression grim. “We’ve intercepted a few communications from Vince
The race to prevent Vincent Crane from escaping justice became on. Paulina, Elijah, and their crew labored tirelessly to coordinate with law enforcement and tune his actions.“He’s heading for the personal airfield just outside the town,” Leila said for the duration of an annoying convention call. “He’s been given a jet looking ahead to him. If he boards that plane, he’s long gone.”Paulina’s knuckles turned white as she gripped the brink of the table. “We can’t permit that to occur. What’s the plan?”Elijah’s voice changed into calm however. “I’ll lead a crew to intercept him on the airfield. Paulina, you stay right here. It’s too dangerous.”Paulina shook her head. “No. I need to peer this thru, Elijah. This is ready
The days following Vincent’s arrest had been a whirlwind of interest. Paulina’s criminal team worked tirelessly to make sure that Vincent might face the overall extent of the law, while the media coverage persevered to gas the fallout from his actions. Every new revelation seemed to deepen the public’s outrage. But amidst the chaos, Paulina discovered a sense of peace settling over her peace that was tough-earned and long-awaited.Paulina sat at her table, her arms resting on the floor as she appeared out of the window. The town outdoors changed into humming, however inside her workplace, she felt a stillness that changed into both foreign and comforting.“Elijah,” she said softly, no longer taking her eyes off the view. “I by no means concede I’d be right here. After the entirety after all the lies and the pain, I in no way imagined I’d
Paulina sighed as she carefully arranged the tea set on the tray, her hands trembling slightly as she heard the loud voice of her mother-in-law echo through the halls."Paulina! Have you made the tea, or are you too busy daydreaming again?" Mrs. Whitney called out from the living room, her tone dripping with disdain.Paulina took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "Yes, Mother. It’s ready. I’ll bring it right in."She walked into the wide living room in the house, sometimes she’d forget that she actually grew up in this very house with her parents, ever since she got married to her husband and her mother-in-law moved in, it’s almost like they did a complete makeover of the place making it unrecognizable. Without looking up, Mrs. Whitney spoke condescendingly, "It’s about time. Honestly, Paulina, how did you ever manage before you married my son?" If Paulina could get a penny for every time her mother-in-law asked her such a question she would have been a millionaire by now
The next day happened to be Paulina’s half sister’s birthday. So she tried to surprise her sister in her apartment since there was no work on that day. As she got into the house with her spare key, she noticed that something seemed a little off. Paulina stood frozen in the hallway as she approached Alexis' room, curiosity filling her. She hesitated for a moment, not sure whether invading her sister's personal space was worth it, but then a wave of determination washed over her. She would just peep. Taking a deep breath, she turned the knob and pushed the door open only for her to be broken by what she had seen, as it had made her stomach churn. James was in her sister’s bed, his arm wrapped casually over the bare back of Alexis, she couldn’t believe it was her own step-sister. The sheets were tangled around their bodies, and the room reeked of sex and alcohol.Paulina gasped, the sound tearing through the silence of the room. Both James and Alexis jolted up, their eyes wide wi
Paulina’s eyes opened, her vision blurry as she tried to focus on her surroundings. She felt disoriented, her mind hazy with confusion. The last thing she remembered was falling down the stairs, the pain shooting through her body, and the darkness that had swallowed her whole. But now, she was lying her head on a table, the cool surface pressing against her cheek. Slowly, she pushed herself up, wincing as she did. Her heart raced as she looked around, trying to make sense of what had happened.She was in her living room, but something was off. The room looked different—familiar, yet somehow wrong. She glanced down at herself and noticed she was wearing a black dress, simple and elegant, the kind one would wear to a funeral. Her hands trembled as she ran them over the fabric, her breath catching in her throat. “What… what is going on?” she whispered to herself, her voice shaky. Her mind raced as she tried to piece together the fragments of her memory. The last thing she remembe
Paulina stood in the living room, her mind full of emotions as she stared at James. The man she had once loved, the man who had broken her heart into a thousand pieces, was standing before her, concerned and unaware of the sins he would commit in the future. She knew what was coming, knew how his love would turn to betrayal, how his charm would morph into cold indifference. But now, as he stood there, offering her comfort in a moment that had once been the start of their union, Paulina felt a strange mix of anger and confusion. How could she be mad at him for something he hadn’t done yet? And yet, the knowledge of his future infidelity burned inside her, making her sick with the thought of what was to come.“Paulina,” James said softly, stepping closer to her, “what’s going on? You’re scaring me. Did something happen?”Paulina’s heart pounded in her chest as she took a step back, her resolve hardening. “James,” she said, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and determination, “I

The following morning, Paulina sat in her workplace with Elijah and Leila, the call James had carelessly revealed gambling time and again in her thoughts. Vincent Crane. A call tied to her father’s enterprise, however one she had a concept long buried.Leila placed a thick record at the desk. “Here’s the entirety I ought to discover on Vincent Crane.

There’s a long history of shady dealings underneath his name.”Paulina flipped through the record, her anger constructing with each web page. “So, Vincent becomes the only one pulling the strings at the back of James and Alexis.

Paulina sat in her workplace, her hands tracing the threshold of the envelope in her hand.
