Lesser Evil

She followed him through the labyrinth of hallways eluding CCTV cameras and deadly traps of daggers and laser beams. A surge of panic runs through her skin, feeling as if the walls are closing in around her. She wants to break free now, but his only option is to following Leo careful footsteps.He led her to another set of doors, which opened into a lavishly furnished room. Grayson stood by the window, his back to her. He turned when he heard the door open, and his eyes softened when he saw her."Master, I’ll remain outside the room and keep watch," Leo said, his tone calm and respectful as he prepared to leave.Grayson nodded, his gaze steady. "Be careful, Leo. Stay alert."Leo gave a brief, knowing nod before stepping out, leaving Grayson alone with his thoughts."Sarah..." His voice was low and soft filled with a mixture of relief and concern."I need the truth, Grayson," she said, her voice steady but laced with urgency. "What is really going on here? I thought we were going to my

Shadow of the Dragon

"What a filth!" She couldn't contain her disgust as she gagged, the stench of the tunnel overwhelming her senses. She stumbled, her stomach turning, and finally, the inevitable happened. She threw up, her body revolted against the foul odor.As soon as she could, she crawled out of the tunnel, her skirt torn and dirty. The sewer led her to a small, dark hole, which she squeezed through, emerging into a dense, unfamiliar forest."God, I'm still on Lao's property," she groaned, pulling out her phone and dialing her uncle Vincent's number. "Uncle, please help me. I'm in Shanghai, at Lao's mansion.""Sarah?! Oh, God, I've been looking for you! Where are you?""I'm in the woods. I escaped through the sewers.""Hang on. I'll be there with my men immediately. Go and hide!""Okay, please hurry." As she spoke, she looked up and saw towering pine trees. The sound of voices carried through the air, a chilling reminder of her danger. She knew she had to move, or she'd be found."I need to climb th

Stay with me, kid

The cold water was biting, but Sarah didn’t have time to feel it. She swam as fast as her tired body would allow, pushing through the ache in her muscles and the sharp sting of her wounds. The shouting from the men behind her was getting closer, bullets slicing through the air, some splashing into the lake around her.She heard the familiar “whup... whup… whup…” of the helicopter’s blades overhead, growing louder. Sarah dared to look up, water dripping from her hair into her eyes. The helicopter was hovering lower now, just above the water, the downdraft creating ripples across the surface."SARAH!" her uncle’s voice cut through the chaos. "GRAB THE LADDER!"She saw it—metal steps descending from the helicopter, swinging just above the water’s surface. The current made it difficult to get close, but she fought against it, using every last bit of her strength. Her uncle’s men were firing back at Benjie Lao’s goons, the air filled with the sound of gunfire. They were out in the open, hol

Lover in Despair

For three long and painful days, William had barricaded himself from the outside world. The heartache of Sarah's unexplained departure had driven him to isolate himself at the mansion’s bar, leaving him in a state of emotional turmoil. The once-bustling world around him had become a distant and hazy backdrop to his profound despair.William took another glass of scotch, wincing as he felt the effects of the excessive alcohol consumption. His stomach rebelled with an acid reflux, a painful reminder of his self-destructive behavior.In this troubled state, his loyal bodyguards, Tony and James, entered the room, concern etched on their faces. "Chairman Xu, you need to take care of yourself," Tony implored. "This isn't the way to cope with your emotions."James nodded in agreement, adding, "We've been looking for her diligently. We'll find her, but you need to regain control."William's voice was hoarse as he responded, "I can't... I can't think of anything else but her. I need her back."

Naked Heart

The silence in the room was interrupted by the faint sound of rain tapping against the grand windows of the mansion. The storm outside mirrored the tempest brewing within William’s heart. He leaned back on the couch, exhausted but unable to find peace.“I’ll be better tomorrow,” William muttered, though the hollow tone of his voice betrayed his words.His father, seated across from him, studied his son’s weary face. “You’ve said that before,” Frederick replied, his voice steady but edged with disappointment. “This time, you need to mean it.”William looked away, his gaze fixed on the amber liquid swirling in his glass. “It’s not that simple,” he said quietly. “She wasn’t just someone, dad. Sarah made me believe I could be... more than this.”Frederick arched an eyebrow, intrigued by this rare glimpse into his son’s vulnerability. “More than what?”William hesitated, as if saying the words aloud would make them too real. “More than the cold, calculated businessman you raised me to be.

Fragments of Us

“What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice tight with a mixture of surprise and wariness.“I needed to see you,” William replied, his voice low, urgent. “I’ve been lost without you, Sarah. I need to understand—why did you leave?”Her heart twisted at the desperation in his voice, but she couldn’t let herself soften. Not now. Not when so many lives are at stake.She turned away, taking a slow breath to steady herself. “My dear kiddos,” she called out, her tone shifting to something lighter, more composed. “Take a cookie break, and then we’ll continue our pottery. We wouldn’t want our creations to crumble, would we?” She smiled gently, masking the ache in her chest with a practiced warmth.“Yes, teacher!” The kids responded enthusiastically, their innocent voices lifting the tense air. One by one, they formed a neat line, their chatter filling the room as they left for their snack.As the door closed behind them, a silence fell between Sarah and William, thick and charged with unspo

Homecoming

After Five yearsShanghai Hongqiao International AirportJanuary 2025--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Mommy, look!" Henry exclaims while pointing towards a display of miniature airplanes.Sarah smiled. Her attention drawn away from the admiring glances she was receiving."That's incredible, isn't it?" she says, bending down to his level. "Let's go take a closer look."Sarah stepped off the private jet and onto the plush carpet of the first-class lounge, the low hum of activity from the airport seemed to fade around her. The years had been kind to her, sculpting her into a vision of understated elegance.The years had been kind to her, sculpting her into a vision of understated elegance.

Conquering the Empire

A hush fell over the usually bustling space as a sleek, black limousine glided to a stop before the entrance. Heads turned, eyes widening as the tinted windows rolled down. Stepping out was a vision of effortless elegance: Madam Chairman Sarah Feng Xiang Smith.Gone was the young woman who had left Shanghai five years ago, a student seeking knowledge and independence. In her place stood a woman who exuded power and confidence, her every move radiating an aura of quiet authority.A small gasp escaped the lips of a young receptionist, her eyes widening in disbelief.
