‘…The physics behind the whip involves the transfer of energy from the person wielding the whip to the tip of the whip,’ Milo lectured, sitting up in bed. ‘When the whip is cracked, the tip of the whip moves faster than the speed of sound, creating a sonic boom that produces a loud cracking sound.’

Alessia could only nod. ‘Sounds fascinating.’

‘It is!’ Milo’s eyes glinted brightly. ‘I wonder what material they used to make the whip. Must be something flexible. Maybe leather. Or nylon.’

Alessia promised she’d look into it.

It was half past eleven when Milo finally went to sleep.

Alessia washed up and climbed into bed.

She slept in, since the next day was Sunday.

She woke up, made breakfast for Milo and Veronica, and decided they could all use some fresh air.

They headed to the park, where the laughter of children and the chirping of birds filled the air.

Alessia watched Milo run towards the swings, his giggles infectious.

She couldn’t help but smile as she pushed him on the swing.

    Alessia hesitated briefly, before nodding. ‘Yes, I’m up for the challenge.’‘Wow, Alessia’s really stepping up.’ This was Jan.‘Yeah, she’s brave. I wonder if she can handle it,’ another colleague said, not without a touch of jealousy.Wilda said, ‘All right then, Miss Jansen, you’re in charge of Lara’s responsibilities for now. Everybody else, continue with your regular tasks. We have deadlines to meet, and I expect everyone to give their best effort.’She turned to Alessia, ‘Miss Jansen, come into my office, please.’Jan said in a low voice, ‘Good luck, Alessia. You’ll need it.’The woman next to her nodded. ‘Yeah, she’s got big shoes to fill.’Alessia took a deep breath and made her way to the chief editor’s office.‘Close the door,’ Wilda said from her seat behind the imposing desk.Alessia obliged.With a discerning gaze, Wilda spoke, her voice laced with a hint of accusation. ‘I know it was you who sent me the anonymous email.’Alessia flinched but quickly recovered. ‘I didn’t s

    Alessia stared at Wilda, amazed. ‘You’re really telling it like it is, huh?’Wilda flashed a wry smile and leaned back in her chair. ‘D*mn right I am. When I started BuzzBeat, it was meant to be a beacon of truth, not just another gossip rag. I wanted it to be the go-to for millennials—real news, inspiring tales, and lifestyle stuff that matters.’Alessia was intrigued. ‘I had no idea. That actually sounds like a paper I’d enjoy working for.’Then she quickly backtracked. ‘Of course, I don’t mean I’m not enjoying working here right now.’Wilda smiled and let it slide. ‘It’s fine.’A wistful look came into her eyes. ‘Anyway, that’s what I envisioned for the paper. But with my other ventures in the multi-channel network business, I left BuzzBeat in Jeramy’s hands, thinking he’d carry the torch.’‘And he dropped it,’ Alessia said.‘Big time.’ Wilda frowned. ‘He got lost in all the luxury and forgot our mission.’‘Well, that’s about to change,’ Alessia said hopefully. ‘You’re taking the r

    Terence shrugged. ‘I’m not sure, boss. The meeting’s behind closed doors.’Then he added, ‘But I don’t think so. If Mrs Chavez wants to punish Miss Jansen for exposing her husband’s affair, wouldn’t she have dismissed Miss Jansen already? But they’ve been in that meeting for over two hours now.’Logan scowled. ‘Two hours? What the hell are they talking about?’Terence offered a reassuring smile. ‘I’ll keep an eye on things and let you know if anything significant happens.’‘Do that,’ Logan snapped, dismissing his assistant with a wave of his hand.As the minutes ticked by, Logan found it increasingly difficult to focus on anything else.He tried to distract himself with work, but his mind kept drifting back to Alessia and the mysterious meeting with Wilda Hicks.***Wilda and Alessia continued working till lunchtime.Dismissing her suggestion for takeout from Uncle Erasmo’s diner, Alessia’s new boss offered to take her out for a ‘real meal.’Alessia obediently climbed into the backsea

    Wilda was pleased by Alessia’s conscientiousness. ‘In my mind, a multimedia interview looks something like this: it involves a written article, along with video and other forms of visual content, such as YouTube Shorts or Tiktok profiles. The written article serves as the backbone of the interview, providing a detailed account of the subject’s life, career, and experiences. I’ll have another team to handle the video component. And I want you to pen the first article.’Alessia was both thrilled by the opportunity and daunted by the challenge.The kind of in-depth interview Wilda was talking about went beyond anything she had done before.Wilda continued, ‘That’s why I was asking about you and Mr Wilde. At just twenty-nine, he’s already achieved so much. He’s a true inspiration for young entrepreneurs and exactly the kind of go-getter I want for the series.’She winked. ‘Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the man’s got brooding good looks and a billionaire status to match.’‘He does have a

    Logan sighed before answering. ‘What is it, Heath?’His detective friend greeted him with a knowing smirk. ‘Got a minute to talk?’Logan waved his hand impatiently. ‘Make it quick.’‘I was just talking to your assistant, Terence.’‘Why?’‘I called you first, but your line was busy. So I called him, and we got to talking.’‘Yeah, so?’‘So, he has shared quite a bit with me, especially about you and the intriguing Miss Jansen.’‘That Terence has got a big mouth,’ Logan muttered under his breath. ‘Since you like talking to my assistant so much, maybe you should tell him that his bonus this month has just disappeared.’‘Aw, don’t be like that, Logy. He’s just worried about you. So am I. So, what’s going on between you and Miss Jansen?’Logan’s scowl deepened. ‘None of your business.’‘Oh, come on. Don’t pretend like I’m not seeing the signs. You’ve been moping around since Saturday night.’Logan shot him a warning glare. ‘I’m not moping. I just... I don’t know what I expected.’Heath rais

    ‘N-n-no, no, no, it’s n-n-not a tabloid anymore,’ Lee hurriedly explained, stumbling over his words. ‘W-we’ve c-c-changed our f-f-focus t-t-to high-quality c-c-content. A-a-and I-I-I promise, the i-i-interview w-will be p-p-professional.’Logan scoffed, clearly unimpressed. ‘I don’t do interviews with amateurs, and I certainly won’t agree to be interviewed by someone who can’t even speak fluently.’Lee’s heart sank at the harsh words, his stammer becoming more pronounced with his anxiety. ‘I-I’m s-s-sorry if I-I-I’m n-n-nervous,’ he managed to say, trying to regain his composure. ‘B-b-but I-I-I’m a g-g-good pho-tographer, and I-I-I promise I-I-I’ll d-do my b-b-best for the i-i-interview.’Logan’s tone remained stern. ‘I don’t have time for this.

    ‘How long can a d*mn dinner last?’ Logan grumbled to himself. ‘What the hell are they having, a six-course meal?’He wanted to storm into the diner and confront Alessia, but he also didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing he cared so much.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Alessia and the man finished their meal and got up to leave.Logan’s eyes followed them as they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.He started the engine.The street was bustling with people heading home after a long day’s work.Alessia said her goodbyes to Lee, thanking him for his insights and contributions to their upcoming series of interviews.As she strolled towards the bus stop, she couldn’t help but reflect on the changes happening at BuzzBeat.Since Jeramy’s departure, everyone seemed more motivated, and even Lee, with his nervous stutter, had proven to be an interesting and valuable team member.Her mind was filled with thoughts of work and the interviews when suddenly sh

    Attempting to confirm Logan’s interest, Alessia asked again, ‘So, are you sure you want to do the interview?’Logan’s response was measured. ‘I’ll need to hear more about it before I decide. After all, BuzzBeat, as a tabloid, isn’t known for its impartial coverage. I have to consider protecting the reputation of me and my company.’Alessia wanted to assure him that BuzzBeat was undergoing significant changes under Miss Wilda Hicks’ visionary leadership. ‘Don’t worry,’ she said, ‘BuzzBeat is transforming, and the profile on you won’t be a scandalous gossip piece. It’ll be an honest portrayal of you and your achievements.’Logan seemed intrigued. ‘I want to hear more about your plans for the interview. Why don’t we find a place to talk?’Alessia hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement. ‘All right, there’s a great dessert place not far from here. But this time, I’m paying.’Logan smirked. ‘Deal. Just don’t scratch me again.’He climbed out of the backseat and settled beh

    The city lights shimmered through the window, casting a soft glow over Alessia’s hotel room.She sank into the plush armchair, exhaling a weariness that settled deep into her bones.The day had been a whirlwind of interviews and deadlines, leaving her both physically and mentally drained.With a flick of her wrist, she loosened the tight bun that held her long hair, letting it cascade down her shoulders in unruly waves.The laptop on the polished mahogany table beckoned, a testament to the professional demands that consumed her day.Alessia leaned forward, fingers dancing across the keys as she organized her interview notes, a meticulous symphony of clicks and clacks.She paused, her gaze shifting to the phone by her side.Two missed calls from an unknown number flashed on the screen, and her heart skipped a beat.For a moment, hope surged through her—perhaps it was Logan.But as she listened to the voicemail, disappointment settled in.It was merely a wrong number, a mundane interrup

    With the briefcase in hand, Logan left the office and got in his car.He did not involve Terence; the meeting could be dangerous.Besides, he had backup.Logan raced through the city streets, weaving through traffic with a desperate determination.The clock was ticking, and the warehouse loomed ahead like a dark, ominous secret.As he approached the entrance, the flickering neon lights buzzed overhead, casting eerie shadows on the crumbling walls.Logan stepped into the darkness, the echoes of his footsteps the only sound in the desolate space.A figure emerged from the shadows, wearing a hooded jacket to conceal their identity.Logan’s pulse quickened, his senses on high alert.‘I brought the money, now show me Sirena,’ he demanded, his voice steady but edged with a simmering rage.The figure chuckled, the sound echoing eerily through the cavernous space. ‘Impatient, aren’t we?’He pulled out a phone from his pocket.With a swift motion, he tapped the screen, and a small screen on th

    The city lights glittered below as Alessia and Vince sat in a trendy rooftop bar in Hamborough, taking in the breathtaking view.The change of scenery had indeed granted Alessia a temporary escape from the complexities of her life back in Veridian.Alessia raised her glass, sipping a colourful cocktail. ‘Here’s to new beginnings and escaping the chaos,’ she said with a half-smile.Vince clinked his glass with hers. ‘To new beginnings,’ he echoed, a faint smile playing on his lips.As the evening unfolded, the atmosphere became more relaxed.The city buzzed around them, providing a backdrop for a momentary reprieve.Alessia found herself enjoying Vince’s company, appreciating the unspoken connection they had cultivated over the years.Amidst the clinking of glasses and the distant hum of the city, Alessia sensed an opportunity to share the intricacies of her life.She turned to Vince, her eyes reflecting a mixture of weariness and determination.‘You know, Vince, Logan’s first marriage

    Logan’s office at Wilde Enterprises was a haven of order in contrast to the chaos unravelling in his personal life.The sterile hum of fluorescent lights bathed the room as he sifted through paperwork, attempting to find solace in the routine of his professional responsibilities.His phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with Heath’s name.Logan’s heart skipped a beat as he answered the call, the outside world fading away as he focused on the voice at the other end.‘Heath,’ Logan greeted, his tone carrying the weight of worry.‘We found her,’ Heath’s voice crackled through the phone. ‘She was at the BuzzBeat office. Got into a bit of a scuffle with Alessia.’Logan’s temples throbbed in response, the news striking him like a physical blow. ‘Alessia? Is she okay?’There was a pause on the line, and Logan could almost feel the hesitation in Heath’s response. ‘According to the colleague who filed the police report, she’s got a couple of scratches, but otherwise, she’s fine.’Relief washed

    The room was cloaked in a muted glow from the bedside lamp, casting a warm light on the framed photographs that adorned the walls.Sirena moved silently, her eyes scanning each corner of her parents’ room as she began the meticulous search for anything of value.Ralph was still in intensive care, which meant Naomi wouldn’t leave his side, giving Sirena the time she needed for a thorough search.Her fingers brushed against the cool surface of a polished wooden dresser, adorned with small trinkets that echoed the laughter of her childhood.A porcelain figurine, a relic from a family vacation, stood alongside a faded picture of her parents and a much younger Sirena.The memories were bittersweet, a reminder of the life she had left behind.As Sirena opened drawers with deliberate care, the soft rustling of papers mixed with the creak of aged furniture.In one drawer, she found a stack of handwritten letters tied together with a ribbon.Memories of birthday wishes, expressions of love, an

    The Veridian airport bustled with a kinetic energy that only a major transport hub could exude.Travellers weaved through the expansive terminal, navigating a sea of bustling crowds and rolling luggage.The air hummed with the constant murmur of announcements, the clatter of footsteps, and the intermittent symphony of departure gates chiming to life.Alessia, her eyes scanning the digital departure board, stood amidst the organized chaos.The Veridian airport, a sprawling architectural marvel, boasted high ceilings adorned with sleek modern designs.Concourse shops beckoned with an array of luxury goods, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air from the bustling cafes.It had been a long time since she flew—juggling a job and raising two kids hadn’t left a lot of time for the luxury of flying.‘Hey, I thought that was you.’ Someone tapped her on the shoulder.Alessia, startled, turned around to find Vince, a smile playing on his lips.‘Vince, what are you doing he

    Naomi scoffed, bitterness lacing her tone. ‘Make things right? Can you bring back the peace we had before you barged in with your promises and complications?’Logan shook his head. ‘I can’t change the past, Naomi, but I can help with the present. Let me take care of Ralph’s medical bills. It’s the least I can do.’Her expression hardened, and she retorted, ‘Money won’t fix the damage you’ve caused. Sirena is missing, Ralph’s heart is failing, and our lives are in shambles. Don’t pretend you can fix it with a cheque.’Her words were still ringing in his head hours later.Logan stood on the roof, smoking, lost in thought, until his phone rang with an urgency that cut through the air like a serrated blade.He glanced at the caller ID, and a sinking feeling gripped his stomach as he answered.‘Logan, what the hell is going on?’ Albert’s voice, usually a bastion of calm, resonated with a furious edge. ‘Alessia called me, all cold and distant, calling me Mr Wilde instead of Grandpa. And she

    ‘Ralph! Naomi, call an ambulance!’ Logan’s urgency cut through the stunned silence, and Naomi, her face pale with shock, fumbled for her phone.Panic swirled in the room as Ralph clutched his chest, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.He toppled backwards.‘Ralph!’ Logan caught the old man in time.Within moments, the wail of an ambulance echoed through the quiet neighbourhood.Naomi and Logan hurriedly helped Ralph onto a stretcher, his face strained with agony.The ambulance doors slammed shut, trapping the trio in a suffocating bubble of uncertainty.The ambulance tore through the city’s arteries, its siren piercing.Inside, the confined space thrummed with urgency.Naomi clung to the edge of her seat, her eyes unblinking as she watched the paramedics work on her husband.Ralph lay supine on the stretcher—his heart just stopped.The heart monitor emitted a relentless warning beep.Naomi’s hands trembled as she tried to steady herself, the medical jargon exchanged by the paramed

    Naomi stirred the simmering chicken soup, the aroma filling the kitchen with warmth.She glanced at Ralph, who was grabbing his keys.‘Ready to head to the hospital?’ he asked.‘Absolutely,’ Naomi replied, wiping her hands on her apron. ‘Hand me the thermos.’They were only allowed to visit Sirena once each day, the visit lasting no longer than half an hour.The doctor explained that the restricted visits were important to establish routine in Sirena’s life.As they prepared to leave, they heard a knock on the door.Surprised, they exchanged a puzzled glance before opening the door.Standing on their doorstep was Logan. ‘Can we talk?’Naomi and Ralph exchanged a wary look but nodded, allowing him inside.Logan took a deep breath, eyeing them both. ‘I’m sure you know why I’m here. I need Sirena to sign those divorce papers.’It had been almost three days since Sirena’s hospitalisation, and Logan had waited long enough.Naomi’s lips trembled. ‘Logan, we can’t believe you’ve moved on so
