STACEY

I swirled the amber liquid in my glass, watching the golden city lights twinkle through the penthouse window. The whisky burned its way down my throat, but the satisfaction of my recent acquisition burned hotter. I had worked too hard to let anyone get in my way, not Shawna, not anyone.

As I tilted the glass for another sip, a muffled voice dragged me back to reality.

“Stacey, please… let me go. You’ve already taken my company. What more do you want from me?”

I smirked, turning slowly to face him. The man tied to the chair looked pathetic, his once-impeccable suit now crumpled and stained. Sweat beaded on his pale forehead, and his eyes flitted around the room like a mouse trapped in a cage.

I took a deliberate step toward him, savoring the way he flinched. “What more do I want?” I repeated, my voice dripping with mockery. “Darling, do you think this is about your sad little company? You insult me.”

His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard. “I… I don’t understand. I gave you ever

    CARAThe whisky burned going down, but the conversation with Stacey burned even more. I leaned back in the plush chair, swirling my glass, and smirked at my sister. Stacey always had this cool, calculating vibe that made me feel both impressed and a little uneasy.“So, what’s the next move?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I leaned back in my chair, cradling the glass of whisky in my hand. “You’ve got Shawna wrapped around your finger. Spill it—what’s the plan?”Stacey leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table, her lips curling into that sly smile of hers. The kind that made you nervous even when you were on her side. “It’s enough that they don’t know we’re sisters,” she said, her voice smooth as silk. “That alone gives us the element of surprise.”I couldn’t help but laugh. “You’ve got a point. Can you imagine their faces if they found out? Shawna would lose her mind.” I sipped my drink, still chuckling. “She thinks she’s so clever. Little does she know, she’s playing right into

    STACEYThe mall wasn’t exactly my sanctuary, but when stress weighed me down, retail therapy worked wonders. And today, Kyle and his evasive nonsense had pushed me to my limit. I needed to clear my head, and browsing the high-end stores seemed like the perfect distraction.I was strolling past the luxury children’s section when I spotted her. Shawna. Of all the people to run into when I was already in a bad mood. She was with her kids, the three of them giggling and holding up clothes as though they had all the time and money in the world. The sight of her gratingly smug face turned my irritation into full-blown annoyance.“Shawna,” I called out, stepping into their line of sight. My heels clicked against the polished floor with precision, each sound echoing through the luxurious mall.Her head snapped up, and the moment she saw me, her smile disappeared faster than I’d expected. “Stacey,” she replied, her voice clipped and her forced smile barely masking her irritation.“What a surpr

    SHAWNACara placed the document neatly on my desk, her calm and collected energy somehow grounding me in the middle of this hectic morning. “This is everything you need to finalize the deal with Kyle,” she said smoothly, her tone steady like always.I nodded, letting out a long breath. “Thanks, Cara. Let me go through it, and I’ll let you know if I need anything.”She gave a quick nod and turned to leave, her efficiency unmatched. But before she could even reach the door, it burst open so suddenly it made both of us jump.Kyle strode in, his presence loud and overbearing as always. He flashed one of those fake, overconfident grins, aimed right at Cara like he was some kind of superstar.“Cara,” he greeted her, his voice dripping with that faux charm he thought was so irresistible.Cara, to her credit, didn’t flinch. She looked at him with her usual unreadable expression, her professional mask firmly in place. “Mr. Kyle,” she said curtly, offering a polite nod before gliding out of the

    SHAWNAKyle’s words lingered like smoke in the air, curling into every corner of my thoughts. “A mole?” I repeated, disbelief clinging to my voice. “You’re serious?”Kyle nodded, his face dark and serious. “Think about it, Shawna. How else could Stacey have known? Someone’s feeding her information. Someone close to you.”I rubbed my temples, the idea sending a sharp pang of unease through me. “This is ridiculous. We’ve been careful.”“Careful?” Kyle snorted, pushing off the wall to pace the room. “Stacey didn’t just magically know about the deal. It didn’t come from thin air.”I stared at him, my mind racing. “Okay, fine. Let’s say you’re right. Who? Who do you think it is?”Kyle stopped pacing and faced me, his arms crossed and his gaze hard. “Let’s start with the basics. Who knew about our deal?”I frowned, counting on my fingers. “You, me, Cara, Damien, and Eugene. That’s it.”Kyle’s jaw worked as he processed the names. “Eugene’s out. She wouldn’t sell herself out. That leaves Car

    SHAWNAI stood in the middle of the room, rubbing my temples as the tension built like a storm ready to burst. “I can’t do this anymore,” I said, my voice louder than I intended. “Eugene, you need to leave. Take your mother and go somewhere safe, but you can’t stay here.”Eugene’s arms were crossed, her jaw set in that stubborn way I knew all too well. Her mother stood just behind her, the same defiance etched into her face.“We’re not going anywhere,” Eugene said flatly. “Stacey’s bluffing. She won’t do anything.”I stared at Eugene, my patience fraying at the edges. “This isn’t up for debate,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “You can’t just stick around and hope for the best. Stacey doesn’t make empty threats.”Eugene shrugged, her arms still crossed as if to physically block out my reasoning. “She’s all talk. I’ve dealt with her type before.”“That’s exactly the problem!” I shot back, my voice rising. “You think you’ve got her figured out, but she’s already crossed lines th

    SHAWNAEugene paced the room, her steps erratic, like she was teetering on the edge of an explosion. Her movements mirrored the chaos that seemed to be brewing in her mind. Her mother, rooted by the door with her arms firmly crossed, didn’t move a muscle. She was like a mirror image of Eugene, the same fiery determination written all over her face.“That’s it. We’re leaving,” Eugene declared, her voice sharp and cutting through the room like a blade. She didn’t even flinch as she said it. “And you’re not calling the cops about it, Shawna.”I blinked, stunned by her nerve. My anger flared, bubbling up from deep inside me. I felt the heat rising in my chest, threatening to spill over. “Excuse me?” I said, my voice rising. “You don’t get to dictate what I do. Not after everything you’ve done.”Eugene stopped pacing and turned to face me, her jaw set in defiance. “I’m not sticking around for Stacey to come after me again. I’m done with this place, Shawna.”I crossed my arms, trying to ste

    DAMIENI stared at the glowing screen of my phone, Stacey’s name flashing like a warning sign. It wasn’t just a call—it was a video call. My thumb hovered over the screen. Pick up, or don’t pick up? The thought of her smirking face staring at me through the camera made my stomach churn. I pressed the red button to hang up and immediately switched to an audio call, hoping to avoid whatever chaos she had in store.“Hello?” I answered, keeping my tone neutral, like I hadn’t just dodged her video call.“Damien!” Stacey’s voice came through, sugary sweet but laced with mischief. “What’s with the audio? You’re avoiding me already?”I cleared my throat. “Nah, I’m, uh… in the shower.” I lied through my teeth, hoping it would be enough to make her back off.Stacey snorted, her laughter filling my ear. “Oh, come on, Damien. Since when did modesty become your thing? We’ve seen each other naked before, haven’t we?”My jaw tightened, and I felt Shawna’s eyes on me. I glanced over, and sure enough,

    STACEYThe bubbles in the tub were starting to lose their fluffiness, shrinking into patches of foamy islands scattered across the surface. The once-steamy water was beginning to cool, but I didn’t care. I sank deeper into the tub, letting the warm water embrace me like a protective cocoon. The lavender scent lingered in the air, soothing but failing to completely silence the nagging thoughts in my head.I closed my eyes and tried to focus on the rhythm of the droplets trickling from the faucet, hoping it might lull me into some semblance of calm. Just as I started to feel my shoulders relax, the sharp buzz of my phone broke through the quiet.Stretching over the edge of the tub, I grabbed the phone from the sink. Water dripped from my fingers onto the screen, but I wiped it hastily and glanced at the caller ID. Cara’s name flashed brightly, the screen glowing like it was demanding my attention.“What now?” I muttered, answering the call as I leaned back in the tub, the warmth of the

    SHAWNAI watched as Damien loaded the last of the suitcases into the car, his movements quick and efficient. There was something about the way he handled everything that made me smile. He had a way of taking charge, but at the same time, he always made sure I was comfortable with every decision."You know," I said, folding my arms and leaning against the car. "I never thought I'd be this excited to leave. But I am."Damien turned to me, a smirk playing on his lips. "Oh? And here I thought you’d be all sentimental and teary-eyed about leaving everything behind."I shook my head. "Not a chance. I’m ready for a fresh start. No baggage, no bad memories, no regrets. Just you, me, and a new beginning."His smirk widened, and he pulled me close. "That’s what I love about you, Shawna. No hesitation. No second-guessing. Just full speed ahead."I looked up at him and grinned. "Speaking of full speed ahead, you do realize you haven’t mentioned any honeymoon plans, right?"Damien blinked, then ru

    SHAWNAThe day had been long and full of emotions. Damien had disappeared early in the morning with the kids, leaving me to spend time with my mother. I appreciated the quiet moments with her, but I couldn't shake the curiosity about where he had gone. He hadn’t said much before leaving, just kissed my forehead and told me he had plans.Later in the day, I was surprised when Damien’s mother showed up at the house. I had expected tension, maybe another disagreement, but instead, she looked almost... apologetic.“I owe you an apology,” she said, sitting across from me in the living room.I blinked, surprised. “For what?”“For how I spoke to you yesterday. I wasn’t being fair. I was so caught up in my own vision of the wedding that I didn’t stop to consider what you and Damien truly wanted.”I exhaled softly, the weight of our previous conversation still lingering. “I appreciate you saying that.”She sighed. “I see how much Damien loves you, how much the kids adore you.

    DAMIENI stood in the middle of the beach, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore filling the air. The sun was beginning its descent, casting a golden glow over everything. It was perfect. Simple yet breathtaking, just the way I knew Shawna would love it.The gentle breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean, blending with the faint fragrance of the flowers we had carefully arranged along the aisle. White chairs stood neatly in rows, facing the beautifully decorated arch where we would say our vows. Fairy lights twinkled in the early evening light, creating a magical ambiance. The entire setting was intimate, just family and a few close friends, exactly what I wanted for Shawna.“Dad, are we sure this is enough?” Phoebe asked, looking around with excitement. Her small hands clutched onto the hem of her dress as she took in the scene.I turned to her with a smile, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.“It’s perfect,” I assured her, ruffling her hair. “Your mom doesn’t

    SHAWNAWalking into Damien’s house, I felt a mix of nerves and determination swirling inside me. This conversation with his mother needed to happen. I couldn’t keep pretending to be okay with her making every decision for our wedding.As we stepped into the living room, his mother turned to face us, her expression unreadable. “To what do I owe this visit?” she asked, her tone clipped.I took a deep breath and smiled politely. “I wanted to talk to you about the wedding.”Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Oh? Have you finally realized that I know what’s best?”I shook my head. “Actually, no. I wanted to let you know that the plans I have for the wedding are different from what you want.”Damien shifted beside me, but he didn’t say anything. This was my fight to handle, and he knew it.His mother exhaled sharply, clearly displeased. “Go on,” she said reluctantly, folding her arms across her chest.“I want a beach wedding,” I announced, watching her closely for a reaction.Her brows lifted. “A

    DAMIENI watched Shawna pace back and forth, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. The frustration in her eyes was impossible to miss, and I hated seeing her like this.“Maybe,” I said carefully, “we’re moving too fast with everything.”She stopped mid-step and turned to look at me, her lips pressing together in thought.“Are you saying you don’t want the wedding anymore?” she asked, her voice softer than before, but there was an edge to it.I shook my head. “No. That’s not what I’m saying at all. I want to marry you, Shawna. I just don’t want you to feel overwhelmed by all of this. If you need a break, we can take a step back.”She let out a deep sigh, running a hand through her hair. “I do want the wedding, Damien. I really do. But I feel like we need to change our environment. Just get away from everything, from everyone. Just for a little while, so we can focus on us.”I studied her, understanding exactly what she meant. “You mean away from my mother.”She gave me a pointed loo

    DAMIENThe moment I walked in, Mom turned to face me, arms crossed, her expression already set in irritation.“What did you say to Shawna?” I asked, my voice calm but firm.She scoffed, shaking her head. “Oh, so now I’m the villain?”“I didn’t say that,” I replied, crossing my arms as well. “I just want to know what happened.”She let out a dry laugh, her eyes flashing. “You should be certain you want to marry her, Damien. It seems like she’s still holding onto the past.”I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay composed. “You’re not making things any easier by controlling every little thing about our wedding. This is supposed to be for us, not you.”“For us?” she repeated, her voice laced with disbelief. “You mean for her. Because it seems to me that she’s getting everything her way while I’m being cast aside. Do you think that’s fair?”I exhaled sharply. “Mom, Shawna isn’t trying to push you out. She just wants to have a say in her own wedding.”Mom scoffed again. “A small wedding?

    SHAWNAI could feel the weight of it all pressing down on me. The constant decisions, the expectations that seemed to build up faster than I could keep track of. I just wanted a small wedding, simple and quiet, with the people who mattered most. But it felt like every step I took toward what I wanted was met with resistance.“Shawna, you need to speak up if you’re not being treated the way you deserve,” my mother had said earlier, concern thick in her voice. “You can’t let them walk all over you.”“I’m not being walked all over,” I’d snapped back, though I wasn’t sure if that was entirely true. “It’s just... the wedding. It’s a lot of pressure.”She sighed, her hand resting gently on my shoulder. “I know it’s a big deal, but you need to be honest about what you want, honey. If they’re making you uncomfortable—”“I’m fine, Mom,” I cut in, though I wasn’t. “I just want a small wedding. Is that too much to ask?”“Nothing wrong with that,” she said, squeezing my shoulder. “You deserve to
