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, a widowed mother and her two children, moving in that day. She observed their close bond, feeling a pang of longing.

The son, eager to start his first day at the main branch office, instructed his mother, "Mom, these men will help you and Blakely with the luggage and settling in. I have to leave for work."

As he walked away, he caught the woman's gaze. He smiled, but she quickly turned away, her expression unreadable. He felt a twinge of remorse, sensing he had somehow disturbed her.

With that, they parted ways - she into her taxi, he to his office.

In Thornfield Industries and Holdings 

The company is located in Toronto, Ontario .This company's 28-floor office building houses a diverse range of departments, starting with Communication and Customer Service on the first floor, followed by Administrative, Research and Development, Fashion Designing, and Food Industry on floors 2-5. Industry-specific departments occupy floors 6-15, including Hospital Management, Research and Development , Operational, Jewelry, Education, Airlines, Motor, Construction, Architecture and Interior Design, and Event and Wedding planning. Floors 16-20 host Heavy Industries and Services such as Mining, Chemical, IT, Banking and Finance, and Entertainment and Media. Support and Executive Spaces are on floors 21-25, featuring Hospitality, Transportation and Logistics, CEOs' Floor, Party Hall and Convention Hall, and Meeting Rooms. Finally, the top floors, 26-28, are reserved for Leadership and Governance, comprising Board Members' Cabins, the Vice Chairman's Office, and the Chairwoman's Office, facilitating efficient collaboration, innovation, and leadership across the organization.

Alex's eyes widened as he stood before the Thornfield Industries and Holdings building, a huge smile spreading across his face. His dream had finally come true. With a spring in his step, he entered the company and made his way to the meeting hall.

Inside, he was introduced to the team, and his eyes met Elara's once more. The manager's words echoed, "Mr. Alex, this is Ms.Elara , our HR representative in the Interior Department and the country's top interior designer."

Axel Extended a warm greeting, "Hello, Ms. Elara." But she merely nodded.

"Nice to work with you, Ms. Elara," Axel added, attempting to break the ice.

Elara's response was a fleeting smirk before she excused herself, leaving Axel Wondering.

The manager noticed Alex's curiosity and said, "Don't overthink it . Elara is reserved, calculative, and assertive. Her silence speaks more than her words."

After a while, they all left. Axel saw his cabin, the whole building, leaving the top 4 floors. 

 He left the office and headed home. In the parking area, he spotted Elara again, this time she was engaged in a quiet conversation with a mysterious person. They stood close, their faces lit by warm smiles.

Axel wondered, then shook off the thought, and went towards the left area and started to wait for the lift.

As Elara entered, he followed, greeting her with, "Hi, nice to see you again! What a coincidence, running into you all day."

Elara's response dripped with arrogance, "Everyone who works in this branch lives here, including the CEOs."

The lift stopped on the 9th floor, and Axel chuckled, "Another coincidence!"

As they exited, he asked, "Was that your boyfriend in the parking lot?"

Elara's glare was scary and questioning.

Axel clarified, "The guy you were talking to."

Elara remained silent, exiting the lift and disappearing into her flat.

Axelcalled after her, "I'll take that as a yes."

Elara , warning, "Mind your business, Mr."

She slammed the door shut.

Axel smiled wryly, "I live across from your flat, not inside it. Oh, God, please bless this poor woman."

Just then, his sister's voice interrupted, "Let God bless us first; come inside before I close the door!"

Axel entered, chuckling.

His sister asked, "What's got you smiling?"

Axel replied, "Just my lovely neighbor."

She raised an eyebrow.

Axel whispered, "Long story."

As he said, his mother asked what story he immediately started to tell about his day.

On the other hand, Elara got a call and she received it and said yes tell me 

A man said “ ma'am, we have caught him. Come quickly.”

Elara, with a devilish smile, said “in 2 hours”.

    Elara walked into the hospital room, her heels clicking against the polished floor. She paused by the door, watching Grayson lying in the hospital bed, visibly caught off guard by her presence. His eyes widened, and he struggled to sit up, wincing slightly from the effort.“Elara… you?” he stammered, his voice filled with disbelief. “I… I wasn’t expecting to see you here.”Elara raised an eyebrow, a slight, unreadable smile on her lips. "Of course you’re shocked, Grayson," she replied coldly. "I know exactly what you tried to do. Your plans were bound to have consequences."Grayson’s face paled, and he swallowed hard, his gaze dropping. “Elara, I… I’m so sorry,” he said, his voice breaking slightly. “I couldn’t control myself at that time. I wasn’t thinking about right or wrong… I just wanted you… forever. But… but I know now that I went about it all the wrong way.”Elara's expression hardened, unimpressed by his apology. She reached into her bag, pulling out an envelope. With a firm

There are also new collaboration proposals that need your review, and a few potential investors we might want to consider.”Elara listened intently, making a mental note of each point. “Alright, I’ll need a detailed summary of the collaboration offers.

    Next morning...... Elara sat alone in her room, lost in a daze, barely able to muster the will to move. The same dream had haunted her again last night, lingering with a heaviness she couldn’t shake. Today, the weight of it felt unbearable, pressing down on her heart as though it might break. Tears slipped silently down her cheeks, and she barely noticed them. “Why is he trying to interfere, Mom?” she whispered to herself, voice cracking as she spoke into the emptiness. “Mrs. Thronefield fought so hard to come through all of it. Doesn’t he see how much it would hurt her?” She closed her eyes, clenching her fists in a desperate attempt to hold onto the strength she had left. “I promised you, Mom. I promised I’d protect them, all of them. No matter what, I won’t let anyone hurt our family.” Her words, though brave, couldn’t match the ache within. The pain was too raw, too deep. Without thinking, Elara pressed her face into her pillow, letting out a wave of sobs that she’d held ba

    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. Now, sitting by the window of a cozy café, Elara’s eyes darted nervously to the street. She was waiting for Tessa, someone she needed to confront to eliminate any doubts. Her heart quickened as she spotted Tessa stepping out of a cab and walking toward the café entrance, her expression unreadable. As Tessa reached the entrance of the café, everything seemed normal. Elara watched her approach through the glass window, relieved to finally see her. But

  • Whispers Of The Thornfield Empire   DO OR DIE...

    Elara Thornfield was a woman of many secrets, a puzzle the world could never fully solve. To outsiders, she appeared cold and distant, entirely consumed by her work. But beneath her stoic exterior lay layers of complexity, haunted by vivid, exhausting dreams that left her drained each morning. As she stood on the precipice of a life-changing moment, her choices narrowed to two: 'DO OR DIE'.The evening at the office began like any other. Elara sat at her sleek mahogany desk, the phantom glow of her computer screen illuminating her sharp features. The office, usually alive with the hustle of executives, now lay in silence—punctuated only by the faint hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustle of papers. She was reviewing the financial projections for the quarter when her phone buzzed insistently on the table. The screen flashed: Unknown Number.A prickle of unease danced up her spine. The Thornfield name attracted all kinds of people—some looking for favors, others hoping to

    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...

    Alex was staring at her, his eyes filled with an emotion Elara couldn't quite identify. Elara raised an eyebrow. "What happened?" Alex blinked as if he had just been pulled from a trance. 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? Come on, Elara, I’m not that dumb." Elara didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she smiled, her gaze softening. But inside, she whispered to herself, You are dumb, Alex, for not believing my words. By the time they reached the office, the familiar buzz of workplace chatter surrounded them. Whispers and knowing glances followed their steps. News of Alex and Elara’s relationship had spread like wildfire, fueling envy among their colleagues. Their names were on everyone's lips—part admiration, part jealousy. Elara quickly settled into her tasks, immersing herself in work to avoid the stares and whispered sp

    As Alex and Elara moved closer, Alex felt himself losing control, almost overwhelmed by the moment. Just as he leaned in for a kiss, Elara pulled back suddenly, surprising him. 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. After a few moments, Elara tried to lighten the mood. "Do you, um, need anything else?"Alex shook his head. "No…"Elara smiled, trying to smooth things over. “Okay, then. Want to watch a movie?”Alex’s face brightened instantly. “Yes, let’s do that.”They sat down, putting the earlier tension behind them. As the movie played, they grew comfortable beside each other. Slowly, their tired eyes closed, and they both drifted off, sleeping side by side.Morning...Elara awoke to find herself wrapped in Alex’s arms, his face relaxed in sleep, looking softer and more innocent than usual.

She had chosen minimal makeup, allowing her natural beauty to shine through, giving her an effortless elegance that took his breath away.For a moment, he couldn’t find his voice. He just stood there, his mind blank, completely captivated by her. Her quiet grace, her gentle smile—it was as though she had stepped out of a dream.Noticing his expression, Elara laughed softly, her laughter light and warm. “Are you planning to stand here all night until your family sees you, or are you going to come inside?” she teased, a playful sparkle in her eyes.Snapping back to his senses, Alex blinked and laughed with her, rubbing the back of his neck, embarrassed by his reaction. “Yes… right.
