My eyes fluttered open. I gently glanced around, and my eyes met with Mia's concerned face. “Kylie! Thank goodness! I was so scared!” She held my hand. “What happened? How long have I been here?”I murmured out, raising my head when Mia supported me up the bed, with a pillow at my back. “You fainted, Kylie, we had to rush you here,” Mia explained. I placed my hand on my forehead, and everything that happened flashed through my head again. “Where is Jackson?” I raised my eyes. “He left not quite long. Work call,” she responded and continued, “How do you feel now?” The door flipped open and the doctor walked in. “Good day, Ms Kylie,” he greeted, slightly bowing his head. “ Zack, what is wrong with me? Am I pregnant?” Zack has been the family Doctor; Madam Wilson trusts him so much that if not for him, no one would handle Wilson's health care. “No” he responded with a smile on his face. “ So what is the issue?” I took a deep breath, realizing it was nothing close to Mia's assumption; anything else could be handled. “Your body shut down due to excessive stress; you have been pushing yourself too hard, and if you don't take time to rest, the time will eventually take itself out. I am sure you don't want that to happen” He explained. “Yeah, I get it. Can I go home today?” I asked, staring into Zack's eyes. “Uhmm-”. “No!” Mia interrupted and continued, “He just said you need to rest, Right?” She glanced at Zack. “Oh yes!” He nodded his head. “I will need to monitor your bed rest,” he added, leaving the room as he slammed the door behind himself. “Really?” I glanced at Mia, making a baby face. “Yes.” She placed her hand on my shoulder and gently pushed it back on the bed. “************************ I arranged my things immediately Zack confirmed I could leave the hospital. I grabbed my bag, humoring, my head gently shaking. “Why are you so happy?” Mia asked. I glanced at her where she was seated “More than happy. This place is like a prison. I can't even do anything,” I responded, and a little smile appeared on my face. “Hey, Ky,” Jackson's voice came from behind. “ I'm glad you are finally better,” he said; in his hand was a bouquet of sunflowers, a warm smile on his face as he handed it over to me. “This is so sweet of you” my heart flutters. I placed my nose on the bouquet, basking in the sweet aroma of the flowers. “ Thanks. You know, you don't have to do this, right?” I glanced at him. “I wanted to. It is not easy to be back in the land of living” he hummed. “How did you know I was leaving today?” I pushed him on his shoulder. “ Of course I know, Mia informed me every single step,” he responded. “Ohh,” I gasped, glancing at Mia and giving her a side-eye look. “Oh, look at the time! I am almost late for my meeting” She gave a trickling smile, closing the door behind herself. The drive to the house was warm and peaceful. Jackson and only engaged in small talk as the car approached the house. “Thank you, Jackson; I appreciate the ride,” I said, gently removing the seat belt. He smiled and answered “Anything for you. I will walk you Inside; I need to see for myself that you are settled,” I nodded, feeling gratitude and gestures within me. “You know I am no longer that small Kylie that ran after you in high school,” I stated, gently rubbing my hair. “Let me be the judge of that” he responded and opened the car door. I got in the living room, my stepmother Rachel, watching one of those shows that keep her from doing nothing in the house. She stood up and walked close to us. “ Kylie, I heard you have been spending the family money on yourself, why are you always all about yourself?” she asked, staring deep into my eyes. “Hello Rachel, how have you been? As you can see, I am fine” I responded, trying to act politely. “ hypocrite! That is who you are. You just pretend to be virtuous when you easily left your family for years, and you think you can just crawl back, claiming everything that isn't yours!” “coming from someone who slept with her best friend's husband!” I said, anger boiling through me. For the longest time, I have kept this within myself. I found out a few years after my stepmother moved in with us, shel and my mother used to be best friends. I resented my father so much that I didn't get a proper close-up from him till he passed away. “You knew?!-” Her eyes popped out, words got stuck in her mouth, and she blinked her eyes severally as she continued. “Well- You know nothing about what I and your father shared! Your father and I-”. “That's enough Rachel!” Jackson interrupted and continued “ Kylie doesn't deserve all this treatment from you! You should be ashamed of yourself” “And who are you again?” Rachel asked, staring at Jackson. “ a baby boy who can't even communicate his feelings!” She granted and added “Running after the same person who wouldn't look your way for decades!” “Enough!” I snapped out “ You can do whatever that suits you for all I care but you know what I won't stand?” pushing her chest with the tip of my finger “ Talking to my friend in that manner of yours. You will learn to respect not just me but also my friends. I'm done taking all your bullshit!” I stated and walked up the stairs. *********** Getting to the office very early, I knew it was going to be a busy week ahead for me. Considering how I was just resuming after a two-day bed rest, a lot of work to do. Not just mine, but with some very important documents which haven't been attended to by Madam Wilson because of her recent trip to Canada. “Who has been ringing my phone nonstop?” I murmured, glancing at my phone after the third time it rang. “ Oh, you.” A little smile appeared at the corner of my teeth, and I rested my back properly on the chair. “ Make it quick,” I said, placing the phone close to my ear. “What is this for?” His voice breaking from the other side of the phone. “ I figured we haven't finalized the divorce process. My lawyers will get in touch with you on the percentage of things listed!” “You must be delusional! Being a CEO is not enough, you still want to take all that I worked for?” He asked, and I bursted into laughter. “You worked for? Austin I made you everything that you are today! And I will take them back away from you!”

Austin POV “You made Who? Me?! Get off your high horse, Kylie,” I responded, anger boiling inside of me. The fact that she is trying to change the whole thing, making it seem like she is the one divorcing me, really got on my last nerve. She has no right to be done with me, I am the one who is done with her! “Your time is up. This conversation is over!” “No! I am not done talking to you!” “Kylie! Kylie!” I glanced at my phone “oh shit!” I cursed seeing how she already ended the call. I used my hand to rub my hair backward; there was no way I would agree to her terms. I'm the one who filed for a divorce and I will do it my way. I grabbed my phone, and just when I was about to call Emily, a soft knock came from the door. My secretary Regina rushed in, “ Sir, we have a problem,” she stated. I frowned seeing how her face was all written with urgency, her voice panicking. She hesitated before she continued “ Bhutan canceled all deals with us!” My jaw dropped; the company's most cr

Austin POV I smiled seeing my Ex-wife again. it was my first time seeing her after our last encounter at her appointment party.“Hey, Kylie!” I called out. She gently glanced behind, “You?!” Her face hardened. “Yes, me,” I responded, taking the next empty seat in front of her. With the two glasses of wine in front of her, I could tell she was not alone. “Are you on a date?” I asked, my voice low and I gently rested my back on the couch. “That is none of your business Austin. What do you want?” She inquired, folding her arms together and making a straight face. “I want my lost deal with Bhutan company back!” I commanded, my tone getting serious. “ Your what?- She burst into laughter, making me look like a clown. “Can you even hear yourself? How can you possibly get something that you already “lost?” She responded, emphasize on the word lost. “That is why I'm here. You are the CEO; I know you cancel the deal, and- “I am glad you are aware of that. I am sorry to disappoint

Kylie POV What do you think you're doing?" Jackson held Austin's hand as he was about to hit me.“You were about to hit a woman?" Jackson held Austin's hands as he struggled to let go off his hands. Austin was about to raise his hand on me, thank God this divorce’s motion was already in place, I need to speed up the process and leave him with an ego not up to one.Jackson held Austin and pushed him to the side causing people to turn and look at our direction in alarm and concern.“If only she listened to me and not walked out on me” Austin tried to defend himself."And that gives you a reason to want to hit her?, have you no shame?” Jackson interjected and I stared at Austin in a familiar look."Shame Austin, shame, should we still speak about shame?” I smirked and adjusted my dress, there was a smudge of wine on the corset and it only made me more mad at him.He got the word play and still went on shamelessly, I've never seen him so irritating and I began wondering what attracted m

Austin POV“Arghhhhh" I was filled with fury and thoughts that I had made the wrong move by talking directly to Kylie and not waiting for Francis.“Ah, Mr. Nitaile, always a pleasure to see you,” a voice called out to me from behind the bar.It was the one and only Roman from The Oasis. Roman gathers and collects relaxing vodkas and spirits from around the globe and I'm on his top list of first tastes in the city.One of the reasons I was there that night.“Roman, my guy!" I sluggishly climbed down from the high stool and rigidly and firmly shook his hands.He was slightly taller than I was but that didn't belittle my influence in the Oasis.I was still a Top Dog.“One of new York’s finest,looking sharp, aren't you?”He complimented."I'd hardly say that” Hurrying and leaving Emily at home, I barely had time to refresh myself, looking sharp was the last thing I'd say I was at that point.“You humble, yh?" “That's not it, Roman, that's not" I slightly smiled.“Where's our new product

Kylie’s POVA lot was going on, in my head and in the villa. I stood at the balcony in my room with a million thought running through my head, I was fully dressed for work and deep down I knew the realization of my week’s activity was overwhelming me, but I wouldn’t let it.When I had thrown it all away to be with Austin I had envisioned a lifetime of struggles, yes, but my delusions had also assured me a lifetime of loving and loving. I knew what I got in return and it was….“Miss Kylie?” Someone called out to me, interrupting my self pitying and plotting.I turned around and found the nanny hovering over the entrance, the same one that had been since I was five. It brought back a rush of emotions, some sweet to think of and others, not so great.“Lily?” “Do you want your coffee the usual way?” She asked me, her sweet tone calling for me to run into her hands and remain there just like I used to when my father scolded me.“Black, very black.” I responded, I wasn’t going to be soft

Jackson’s POVI wasn’t a simp, or at least I didn’t think I was. I even had a reputation amongst each enthusiast in the New Jersey community. Jackson Brown wasn’t exactly the definition of lover boy, I showed up to events with everyone’s favorite girl of the moment on my arms but it was always just that.My secretary made sure of that, she said it was for publicity and I allowed her to do what she wanted, hadn’t she been the one to help the company get to the height it was in. I was second guessing my interests in Kylie, it was way too obsessive and every action she made affected my mood. It was one thing to fawn over someone for more than seven years, to feel things she had never imagined herself feeling for you and it was another thing to be so close to her and experience her invest her emotions in the wrong places.I wasn’t being a fool, I had the right to feel things and I also had the right to stay away when I felt my emotions were being too much, when they were taking away m

Kylie POV I was in the office, it's been a very busy week for myself and lady oh. There was an exclusive deal madam Wilson specifically called my attention to and since then it has been work upon work. A slight knock came through from the door, making me raise my head, glancing at the direction. I rolled my eyes “Come in” I responded, knowing fully well it was Lady oh at the door. Nobody gets access to the CEO office aside from the family person assistant, Lady oh. All company complaints are directed to her while she delivers directly to myself or Madam Wilson if necessary. “Ms Kylie” Lady oh voice interrupted the atmosphere as she walked through the door.I took a deep breath. It meant two things seeing Lady oh, work and work. “What is it this time around?” I groaned, my voice sounding so tired. “It's good news this time,” she responded, smiling. “Ehn?” I raised my eyes up, waiting for her response. My heart was beating faster anticipating the information. “Uhm” she murmured

Austin POV I know I'm not a weakling. That wasn't how Austin Natalie grew up, but recently, I found myself acting like one. Kylie is gone but I couldn't accept it. The divorce has been finalized, but I still found myself leaning around the papers every day. I still go through our album pictures, holding onto memories that were gone.“Austin! Austin!” Emily's voice pierced into my thoughts, making me glance behind. The door flipped open as she walked in. Her steps struck determination. I could sense there was a problem but I was too occupied to worry about her. At that point, I felt disturbed. “Why are you screaming my name? Are you trying to bring down the house?” I groaned as I glanced back at the art picture in front of me. In it was a picture hand of myself and Kylie, our hands cupped together in it. The first gift I received from Kylie on our first anniversary. “What?” She murmured as she closed the gap between us. “Well, this isn't why I'm here,” she asked and continued, her

Jackson’s POVI sat at my workstation in our high-security operations room, staring at a series of fragmented data points on the screen. Hours earlier, I’d received a message from our whistleblower—a former competitor turned informant—detailing a hidden network of shell companies. His information had been cryptic at first, but now I had my own intercepted data to cross-reference. I could feel the intensity of what was unfolding. This was the moment we had been waiting for.I opened up our encryption software and loaded the whistleblower’s dossier alongside our collection of intercepted messages. The screens filled with numbers, transaction logs, and coded references. I murmured to myself, “Let’s see if the pieces align.”Almost immediately, a familiar code, “BX-47,” started to reappear alongside new strings. My pulse quickened as I recognized that the shell company names and money transfers mentioned in the whistleblower’s file were showing up in our intercepted data too. I turned to

James's POVI came back to headquarters with racing heart and a folder of fresh information clutched tightly in my hand. The trip had been long, but I knew I couldn't let go of any lead. Today, I was meeting an unexpected surprise—a former competitor turned informant. His name had been unfamiliar to me for months, and now this meeting could be the one to unleash even deeper depths of the conspiracy.I made my way to a secure, nameless meeting room set up at a distant location outside the city. I had been told discretion was essential, so I had chosen a middle ground where words would not be overheard. I sat in a small, round table, fingers drumming softly as I waited for my contact. My phone buzzed with a secure text: "I'm here. Name's Victor.". Find me in the blue jacket."The door had opened quietly a minute after that. A man in a blue jacket came in. His eyes were etched with experience and his face a combination of cautious resolve. He sat down opposite me."James, I'm Victor," he

Kylie's POVI lingered late last night in the dimly lit conference room, my inner circle of people gathered around the long table. The atmosphere was heavy with fatigue and concern—each of us weighed down by recent double-crosses and the increasing unease of an enemy whose power seemed to seep into every facet of our lives. I looked at the sheets of paper laid out on the table, the confidential reports, coded messages, and in-house memos that talked of a grand conspiracy.I swallowed hard and began, "Thanks for coming on such short notice. We all understand what has brought us here." I paused to meet the eye of each trusted counsel as I fought to hold back the storm of emotions. "We stand at a crossroads. Our most recent intelligence has given us a glimpse at the enemy's strength, and now we must decide what to do.".My chief security officer, Mark, was the one to break the silence. "Kylie, it appears that the case is mounting. But there's still much that we don't understand. I think

Jackson's POVI was back at my desk at headquarters in Bhutan, the hum of computers and soft pecks of keyboards sounding almost hypnotic. The trail of our recent operations placed me on high alert. Every intercepted message, every new anomaly in the electronic trail, made me more confident that our opponent was active. I realized we had to act fast; time was crucial.I opened the monitoring program and issued commands, cranking up our online watchfulness on all things offshore and in-house messages. "Come on, give me something," I muttered as I waded through a maze of jumbled logs and financial data. My fingers danced across the keyboard as I applied filters that would flag any out-of-pattern activity.My phone buzzed with a secure text from Mia: "Jackson, increased activity noted on channel B-21. Suspect hostile maneuver. Please consult." I scowled. This could be the cue I'd been waiting for.I quickly grabbed the secure conference button and called Marcus, our lead on financial surv

James's POVI leaned back in the busy corner of the exclusive meeting room at the conference, going out of my way to keep up my cover. The room was dark, lighted only by the gentle glint of a few strategically-placed lamps. Top investors and business giants moved in quiet clusters around me. I'd been undercover here nearly two days now, and what I'd heard was now shaping up to be so much hotter than I could ever have imagined.I had introduced myself as a consultant seeking general market strategy, an experienced individual to advise on corporate mergers. During the last day, my subtle conversation with some of the participants had already begun to say something ominous. During one of the discussions with an illustrious investment strategist—I shall refer to him as Mr. S—I had discovered that the consortium was gearing up to make its ultimate push: a concomitant bid to acquire control of leading companies across various industries. And Bhutan was among them.My heart pounded inside me

Kylie's POVI was in my office late one afternoon, working, when the tip arrived—a secret message from one of our external sources. I nearly spilled my coffee cup as I read the message: an international investors' secret summit was being called. The summit was not another industry conference; it was secret, open to only a very select few. There were rumors that these investors were the masterminds behind those groups that undermined the stability of Bhutan. I shivered.I called my Chief of Strategy, Elena. "Elena, I need a meeting now in my office. It's about an underground meeting of international investors."In minutes, Elena was in my office, her eyes narrowed. "Kylie, what's wrong? You're tense.".I leaned forward, not in the least reluctant. "I've just received word of a summit that no one's publicly listed. It's by invitation only, for the crème de la crème of foreign investors, and I believe they're being courted by our enemies—by the other consortium to undermine us from the i

Jackson’s POVI sat in my quiet office at headquarters, the only light coming from the softly humming server rack and my computer screen. I had been tracking a series of suspicious wire transfers for days now, and something told me that the true financial backbone of the conspiracy was waiting to be uncovered. My focus was absolute; every transfer, every account, was a potential clue.I opened the secure database and began my investigation. “Let’s see where these threads lead,” I murmured, rubbing my temples. The screen displayed a series of offshore accounts, interlinked through a maze of corporate shell companies. One account, in particular, caught my eye—a conduit that seemed to relay funds from a well-known foreign country. I typed in a series of commands to pull up the transaction history.Almost immediately, a list of large transfers appeared. The amounts were astronomical, each transfer carefully time-stamped and routed through multiple intermediaries. I leaned forward, eyes na

James's POVI journeyed to Frankfurt with a purpose.a quest to dig deeper into the money center that had become the hub of rumor and off-the-record talk. Movement thrummed in the atmosphere at the central station, and I strode with purposeful resolve. Our opponent was not acting alone, I was sure. Rumor had led me thus far, and I was determined to uncover secret links between movers and shakers and consortium members.I checked into a modest hotel on the edge of the financial district, and then I set off with my locked phone. I had one definite strategy: attempt to blend in, stay on the beaten path, and pick up any on-the-record interview cautiously. I had arranged a sit-down with one of my reliable sources, a low-key journalist by the name of Lars who wrote about financial scandal. There were whispers of clandestine meetings between high-ups and consortium officials, Lars told me. I may be able to dig up these secret links if I could get closer.Lars met me in a dingy, backstreet caf

Kylie's POVI sat in my private meeting room, a hidden space in our headquarters, and watched as the scrambled video connection reached out to worldwide partners from around the world. Today was do or die—I had arranged a covert meeting with our most trusted global partners to form an integrated alliance against the rival consortium. My heart pounded, but I knew this was one move to help save Bhutan.I coughed and went on, "Good morning, all. Thank you for coming at short notice. I know we are all under tremendous pressure, but our cooperation is more crucial than ever. We meet today to build a world union against an extremely real menace."The people on my screen were of diverse cultures and jurisprudence. There was Ingrid in Frankfurt, Alessandro in Milan, Mei Ling in Singapore, and Rajiv in Mumbai. They all had their own accent, own sets of laws, and different viewpoints—and each one was a pillar in the battle against the consortium.Ingrid was the first to speak, her tone calm and
