050: Respect for the dead

Elliot sat down, his legs spread apart as his elbow perched on his lap.Ivan, Autumn and Iris walked in to Elliot and Charlie's mother wailing heavily at the demise of her husband, Charlie was by her side comforting her mother.Autumn walked towards Charlie's direction as they both embrace each other in a warm hug."I'm sorry, Charlie," Autumn whispered, her eyes catching the dark circles beneath her eyelids.Autumn bent down and hugged Mrs Fraser who held her more than she could have bargain until she finally released Autumn at Charlie's urgency."Mrs Fraser." The three turned to see Iris who was dressed extravagantly unlike everyone in the room who barely wore a pop of color.Iris was wearing a bright lemon haute couture dress. The dress was strapless, with a choker-style neckpiece attached to it, giving it a modern, edgy look."I've heard so much about you." Iris muttered bowing in respect waiting for Mrs Fraser to probably tell her to come and hug her as well but she remained froz

051: You're a monster

"I'm here to pay my respects to Alexander Fraser." Iris said in a coy tone, almost childlike."I would have thought you were some sort of entertainment, I'm stuck with either a stripper or a clown. You're probably both." Derek said as Iris stood frozen in shock.She looked around, nobody wanting to step in to defend her. Not even Ivan."Why—why are you being so vulgar?" Iris asked, her childish tone quivering, as if she was going to cry."When you humiliated Autumn just now, you didn't seem to care if she was hurt. How does it feel? How does it feel knowing your crappy antics doesn't work on everyone." Derek said as Iris face fell downward. The room looked like it was going to devour her, so she did the only sensible thing.She ran. Sobbing heavily on her way out. With she out of the picture, Ivan finally grew a pair of balls and walked up to his uncle."She made a mistake, you didn't have to make her cry." Ivan muttered in disappointment. Derek could really care less, if his nephew h

052: Corrections

Ivan had never been close with his father. In fact, for years, he struggled to even accept that Maverick was his father at all. His world had shattered the day Derek, his uncle, had handed his mother a set of divorce papers alongside a paternity test revealing the affair. That moment marked the beginning of years of public humiliation. The scandal had rocked their family, with the media and society eager to latch onto every detail. Ivan's legitimacy was questioned, and whispers of "bastard" followed him wherever he went. His mother became a target for gossip, bullied and shamed for her indiscretion. D.O.N Corps, their family business, teetered on the brink of collapse, almost brought to ruin by the scandal. But Maverick, cunning and ruthless, had stepped in. While Derek had disappeared from the public eye, Maverick had confronted the fire head-on. He silenced the mockery, wrestled control of a significant portion of the company from his brother, and rebuilt the empire. Soon, people f

053: Assets and Liability

Ivan's face went pale, his eyes retreating to the table as if avoiding his father's gaze would somehow make him disappear entirely. He couldn’t bear to meet Maverick’s eyes, the shame and unease gnawing at him.Maverick, however, resumed his work as if nothing had happened, completely dismissing Ivan's presence and his outburst. The dismissal left Ivan feeling lost, confused, and distorted, as though his emotions were being disregarded altogether."If that's all you have to say, you can leave," Maverick stated coldly, not bothering to look up.But Ivan didn’t move. He remained seated, frozen in place."What is it, boy? What else do you have to say?" Maverick hissed in annoyance, finally pausing his work. For the first time in years, he gave Ivan his full attention, his gaze sharp and piercing.It was almost unsettling to have Maverick's undivided focus, something that had been absent for most of Ivan’s life."Why did you convince her to get an abortion?" Ivan’s voice was flat, drained

054: I'm going to stab her

Autumn lay on the couch, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, one hand resting on her stomach. For an apartment complex, it was larger than she had expected.The sound of running water broke through her thoughts, and she remembered that Charlie had been in the shower. Her eyes flicked to the clock—20 minutes had passed. She had no idea how long she had been zoning out.Sitting up as the water stopped, Autumn began fiddling with her fingers. Charlie soon emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel around her chest, another towel draped over her head."Don’t you think it was careless telling Ivan you aborted the child? What if he tried to hurt you?" Charlie's voice was sharp with concern, but Autumn remained unfazed, which only seemed to worry Charlie more."He didn’t, and I’m fine," Autumn replied calmly, while Charlie raised an eyebrow in disbelief."Aren’t you supposed to be at work, by the way?" Charlie pressed, her tone still anxious."Derek gave me a week off. He said my body needed r

055: Fired

You could see the murder in Autumn's eyes, the pain evident in her gaze as she gripped the blade by her side, advancing toward Iris. Ivan looked around, frustration etched on his face as the maids stood by, mere onlookers instead of stepping in to diffuse the situation."Stop her, you imbeciles!" Ivan barked at the maids, who hesitantly inched toward Autumn. Sensing the shift, Autumn lunged at Iris, who immediately began coughing violently, her eyes widening in shock. Iris let out a loud sigh, followed by frantic, desperate gasps.Autumn dropped the knife, a satisfied smile curling on her lips. Her eyes shifted to Ivan. "You both are pathetic," she muttered, glancing down at her outfit, now stained with sweat. She took a deep breath, her gasps uneven, and walked out. Iris clung to Ivan, tears streaming down her face.As Autumn reached the doorway, her silhouette framed in the entrance, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks. She paused, turning slowly to face

056: Conversation

Autumn's phone vibrated in her pocket, and her hand immediately reached for the familiar shape of her device. Her eyes flicked down to the screen, reading the message from Charlie.The news will be leaked by the end of the day.A spark of anticipation ignited in Autumn's chest. She had been the one to set the plan in motion, but knowing it was all falling into place was nerve-wracking. Her heart raced as she absorbed the weight of her decision.Just as she started to process the message, she felt a light tap on her shoulder. She looked up to find a maid standing close, her expression serious."Miss, Master Derek wishes to see you at once," the maid said. Autumn's brows furrowed as she stared at the maid, searching for any sign that this was one of Iris’s pranks. But the maid’s face remained sincere, her tone unwavering."Come again?" Ivan's voice cut through the tension. He had overheard, and the mention of his uncle’s name seemed to catch his attention. The maid flinched slightly, av

057: Madam secretary

Autumn barely made it in time, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she gasped for breath at the entrance of the boardroom. She composed herself quickly, feeling the weight of every gaze upon her. Straightening her posture, she forced a confident smile onto her face and walked over to Derek, setting the steaming cup of coffee down in front of him with care before taking the seat beside him.As she settled in, the conversations in the room resumed, and she could feel the eyes of the room shifting back to their original focus. However, she couldn’t ignore the whispers that floated through the air, each one louder than the next in her ears."She’s Ivan Ashton’s wife, alright.""She’s not bad looking, either.""How did they manage to get Derek Ashton to attend an in-person meeting?"The murmurs filled the room like a low hum until Derek cleared his throat with a firm cough, capturing everyone’s attention."Let’s begin, everyone," Derek announced, his hand resting on the desk. The room

058: Discrepancy

"Uncle, she’s just a secretary. I think Iris’s idea is better. Autumn probably doesn’t even understand what we’re discussing," Ivan interjected dismissively. Derek’s gaze shifted sharply to his nephew, his expression unyielding."Then I hope, when the company loses money, you’ll be taking full responsibility for that decision," Autumn replied, her voice cool as Ivan’s face darkened into a scowl."How does the company lose money by proceeding with the lawsuit?" Ivan shot back, clearly annoyed."It’s been three months. Yes, NDA Pharmaceuticals blatantly copied our ad campaign, but so did several other companies. If we had acted sooner, we might have profited from the lawsuit. But now, it appears we set a trend, and others are following suit. According to my research, we haven’t actually lost any money. It looks more like a cover-up," Autumn explained, her gaze unwavering. Ivan’s brow furrowed as confusion and irritation mixed on his face."What are you even saying?" Ivan demanded, and t

059: The Affair

Autumn’s head hung low as she leaned over the toilet, her stomach twisting painfully. She gagged, her watery, probably red, eyes catching sight of the morning breakfast she'd barely managed to eat. She let out a quiet groan, clutching her abdomen as she backed up against the cold cubicle wall for support. “Are you okay?” A concerned voice echoed gently off the walls, its familiarity hinting at one of the female coworkers she’d recently gotten to know. “Do you need help?” The voice came again, genuine and caring, but panic shot through Autumn. If she accepted, she risked exposing her pregnancy—a secret she was desperate to keep hidden as part of her plan to later fake an abortion. “I’m... I’m fine,” she managed, forcing herself to swallow down another wave of nausea. Her voice was weak, barely masking her discomfort, and she didn’t know how much longer she could hold it in. “You don’t sound fine.” The voice persisted, accompanied by a gentle nudge at the door, making Autumn’s pulse
