Don't Mess With Me....

Elara took a deep breath, steadying herself as she looked at Ava. Her voice was calm, but her words cut with precision. "Ava, I told you to do this internship, but of all the trainers available, you chose me. You know I’ve hidden my identity, and you understand how important that is to me. Next time, if you dare to call me 'sister' even once, I won’t hold back. You know my temper, Ava. Don’t mess with me."

Ava blinked, stunned, her lips parting to say something, but Elara did not let her.

She continued, her tone unwavering. "Your job here is to learn, and my job is to train you. That’s it. Don’t think this will help you get closer to me. The distance I’ve maintained from everyone, including you, isn’t going to change. I’ve told you all this before, and yet none of you seem to understand. These six months... I don’t need any drama. Do you hear me?"

Ava’s eyes welled with tears, her composure crumbling under the weight of Elara’s words.

She lowered her gaze and whispered, "I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to upset you. I didn’t even know it was you until Dad told me. He said I should work under you, so I agreed. If you’re not okay with it, I’ll talk to the manager and ask to be reassigned."

Elara’s chest tightened at the sight of Ava’s tears, but she kept her expression stern.

"No," she said after a moment, her tone softening just a fraction. "There’s no need for that. It’s better this way. I can train you properly, without any bias. Others won’t train you the same way; they’ll hesitate because of your identity. I won’t. But, Ava," she added firmly, "stop crying like a child. Go back to your work. And listen carefully: create an overview for the project. If you have any doubts, come back to me. Understood?"

Ava sniffled, quickly wiping her tears, and managed a small smile. "Okay," she said quietly.

Elara leaned back, watching her younger sister closely. Then, with a faint smirk, she added, "And Ava, next time, don’t try to act in front of me. You’re terrible at it. You didn’t inherit those skills. Leave the drama to others."

Ava let out a weak laugh, her smile growing wider as she tried to lighten the mood. "What can I say? I didn’t get my sister’s genes for acting. But I did inherit enough to see how much you care about us. You act like you don’t, that you’re so distant, but one day, Elara… one day, we’ll figure out why you’ve built all these walls around yourself."

Before Elara could respond, Ava turned and bolted out of the room, her footsteps fading into the distance.

Elara sat there for a moment, silence enveloping her. Slowly, a small, bittersweet smile crept onto her face. She leaned back in her chair, shaking her head. "My crazy siblings," she murmured to herself.

But her smile faltered as her thoughts turned inward. Why can’t they understand? she thought. The distance isn’t because I don’t care; it's because I care too much. If they knew the truth, it would only hurt them more.

She sighed, pushing those thoughts away, and turned her attention back to her work. Yet, no matter how much she tried to focus, Ava’s tear-filled eyes and her parting words lingered in her mind, stirring emotions Elara had spent years trying to bury.

    Elara felt a growing sense of unease. It all started with a menacing call from an unknown number, followed by cryptic messages that made her question even the most trusted people in her life. The situation felt like a carefully laid trap, tightening around her with each passing moment. Determined to uncover the truth, Elara sent a message to Sophia, asking her to investigate the two suspicious numbers. She forwarded the call recording and requested details about the caller’s location at the times when the call and messages were sent.

Just then, the doctor entered the waiting area, his calm demeanor cutting through the tension.“Miss Elara,” he said gently, “Tessa is fine now. She’s out of danger.”Elara felt her chest loosen. Relief washed over her, and for the first time in hours, she exhaled deeply. “Thank you, Doctor,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Without wasting another moment, she stepped outside the hospital corridor and dialed Sophia.The phone barely rang before Sophia picked up. “Yes, ma’am. What’s the next step? Should I bring him to you?” he asked, his voice steady but eager for direction.A sly smile crept onto Elara’s lips. Her smirk hinted at something far more dangerous than mere relief. “No, Sophia,” she replied smoothly, her voice dripping with confidence. “He’s just a puppet. Someone else is pulling the strings.

    Elara’s phone buzzed, the name Mr. Thornfield flashing on the screen. Her jaw tightened as she picked up the call. “You have two minutes to talk to me,” she said curtly, her tone void of emotion. Damien Thornfield’s voice was sharp, almost cutting through her composure. “Two minutes? Elara, are you out of your mind? Do you think you can dictate how I speak to you? What if you were in Tessa’s place? Would you still be this cold?” Elara exhaled sharply, forcing herself to remain calm. “Look, Mr. Thornfield, I have a lot on my plate right now. Please, leave this matter to me. Focus on the safety of your family, especially Mrs. Thornfield.” Damien’s tone shifted, suspicion lacing his words. “Why Blair, specifically? What are you implying?” Elara’s lips curved into a faint, sarcastic smile. “A wife always needs her husband’s attention. Don’t you agree, Mister?” He didn’t let her deflect. “Don’t play games with me,

  • Whispers Of The Thornfield Empire   Hello Ms Elara..

    In Toronto, at 5 am, a woman slept peacefully in her bedroom. But her dreams were haunted by a disturbing scene. An 8-year-old girl, crying behind bushes in a remote area, watched in horror as her mother was brutally stabbed to death by a group of 10-12 men. As they went from scenes, the girl ran towards her mother, screaming.While she was dreaming, the alarm clock rang, and the woman jolted awake, her face etched with tension, anger, and sadness. But she swiftly composed herself, taking a deep breath. She began her morning routine - exercises, cooking, and a refreshing bath. Just as she was about to leave the flat, her phone rang. Recognizing the caller's name, she answered and said in one go. "Stop bothering me with silly issues. If I'm paying you, it's to handle things, not trouble me. Find a solution instead of calling me."With that, she hung up, not waiting for a response.She went down. And as she waited for her taxi near the apartment entrance, she noticed a family of three,

Then, without warning, he burst into laughter. Trying to regain his composure, he stammered between chuckles, "Wh... at... you have taught me of? Ahh, do you think I’d fall for this kind of joke?

Alex paused, staring at her in surprise, unsure of what he’d done wrong.Elara looked at him, a bit flustered, and said, “I think… I think I need a little more time for this.”A silence fell between them, thick with awkwardness.
