The sharp, relentless pounding on the door jolted me awake. My heart thundered in my chest as I blinked, disoriented, the faint glow of moonlight streaming into the room. Maddy stirred beside me, her small body curling further into the warmth of the blankets. For a moment, I wanted to ignore it—let whoever it was stay outside and figure their shit out—but the banging only grew louder, more aggressive.

I carefully slid out of bed, tucking the blankets around her sleeping form. She mumbled something incoherent but didn’t wake. Running a hand through my hair, I padded toward the door, my muscles tense. Whoever was pounding like that better have a damn good reason.

The moment I opened the door, Samantha shoved past me, her heels clacking furiously against the marble floor. “What the hell is wrong with you, Ethan?” she spat, her green eyes flashing with rage.

I stepped in front of her, blocking her path toward the bed. “What the hell is wrong with you? Do you know what time it is? I tho

    After the terrifying incident at the abandoned parking lot, I swore off Eleanor and her numerous secrets.Maybe it wasn't my place to uncover her lies.

Deals were bigger, expectations were higher, and everyone walked around like they were one wrong email away from getting fired. It was ruthless and I wasn't the office fan favourite, I was certain my termination was just a few seconds away as my colleagues were willing to go to any length to secure the massive bonus and all expense paid trip that management had promised the team that closes the most deals.Which was why I was shocked when Ethan made me team lead for the South Asia Expansion Pitch.He didn’t even blink when he told me. Just handed me the folder in fro

    Thr way I had been moving these past few weeks was enough to get me employment at the FBI. Ethan’s statement about Marcel caused my curiosity to peak and it confirmed my suspicion about everything.Something was off, the truth about Marcel was really close and I could feel it at the back of my neck.However, I had to stop my work investigation because King's had become my personal hell.The more I tried to work at the office, the more I realized I wasn’t just being watched. I was being monitored closely. It started with small glitches on my computer. From my browser history clearing itself, files I hadn’t opened being timestamped and a weird program that popped up once then vanished after I tried messing with it. I had clicked on it once and saw nothing but lines of codes before it crashed my entire system. I was petrified.Tons and tons of work emails, documents, important media, lost.I knew who was behind all these but I had no proof to support my claims.Confronting Eleanor dir

    I let the issue die. There was too much at stake.No matter how many times Ethan poked, prodded, or gently urged me to open up, I didn’t say a word about what had happened at his father’s home.The moment had passed but was not forgotten.And in all honesty, it was the best to lay low for a while. I lied about being pregnant to throw Eleanor off but as much as I wanted to blab about everything I had found in Ethan’s father’s office, I wanted to be safe and I wanted no harm to come to Ethan.I avoided being left alone with Eleanor no matter what , i didn't speak, didn't acknowledge her unless necessary, at least that would make her give up completely and my coldness would make her leave me alone.But I was beyond wrong. Eleanor didn’t back off.If anything, she doubled down and became a literal thorn in my flesh. A fucking pest and a burden.She started showing up at the office unannounced, dressed in her usual business suit and high heels and a tight resting bitch face that would mak

    Eleanor’s eyes locked with mine as Ethan and I stood in the silent hallway of his father’s mansion. She had followed us from the garden and it looked like she didn't plan on leaving either.“I need to speak to Ethan privately,” I said softly."Please."Ethan glanced between us, sensing the tension that could be felt from a mile away.“Mom, maybe—” he tried to say but Eleanor interrupted.“No.” she stepped forward and looped her arm around his. “If there’s something to say, it can be said in front of me. I am your mother, after all.”I wanted to scream. She knew i was on to her. I could feel it in her eyes and the way she stared at me like a cornered cat. I had to think fast. If I pushed too hard, she'd know I had seen the briefcase. If I hesitated, Ethan might lose interest in whatever I had to say and leave.“I think I might be pregnant,” I blurted without thinking.Ethan’s head snapped towards me. “What?”My lips trembled just enough to look convincing. “I’ve been feeling sick. I ha

    I couldn't ignore the comment any longer. My mind was practically itching for answers. What did she mean by that?Instead of bombarding myself with unanswered questions, I turned to the lady and extended my hand for a handshake. “Hey… um, I couldn’t help but overhear what you said earlier about Eleanor and Samantha. I was told the same thing," I lied confidently even though my insides were trembling The woman stared at me blankly."I doubted the story so much. I always wondered if other people knew," I pressed on, sounding as convincing as I possibly could.She raised her perfectly groomed brow and assessed me with her piercing blue eyes before finally speaking. “Why are you asking? Who evrn are you?”I hesitated for a moment but I needed answers so carried on with the lie I had started.“My mother… used to work for Eleanor before she passed away. They were really close and Eleanor confided in her a lot."The woman’s face softened and her suspicion melted into pity.“Oh, sweetheart

    Ethan’s breathing was steady when I returned to the hotel room, but I couldn’t stop pacing.I kept replaying Eleanor’s voice in my mind as I walked around, trying to calm myself.Her threat wasn’t empty.She found out our hotel, stalked me and threatened me with a gun. She could’ve killed me.And the worst part? No one would ever know it was herr.I took a long breath and turned to Ethan. My pacing must have woken him up.“Maddy?” he called to me, his voice groggy and hoarse. “Where did you go?”“I—I had to see someone,” I said. “Eleanor.”His eyes darkened instantly.“What? Why”“She drafted an annulment contract for us. Ethan, your mom and Samantha stole your house. They are pretending there was a loan but there wasn’t. It was all a setup. She’s trying to scare me away, and I think....no, I know she's dangerous.”He stared at me for a few seconds, blinking as if I had spoken in another language.“You’re saying… what exactly?” he sighed as he rubbed his forehead in frustration. “Tha
