Another Rift

Nathan walked into the Crawford Group head office, his long strides quickly carrying him to the elevator.“When did the meeting start?” Nathan asked Mike, who was hurrying beside him, to keep up.“A little over an hour ago,” Mike said, checking his wristwatch.“And my grandfather?” Nathan asked.“Last I checked, he was still at the house,” Mike replied.“Okay,” Nathan nodded as they stepped out of the elevator onto the top floor of the thirty-story skyscraper.There was just one conference room on the floor, reserved for Nathan’s special meetings. Nathan preferred the room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows offering an unobstructed view of the city skyline. It was the perfect setting to negotiate high-stakes deals and hold confidential meetings away from prying eyes.“Welcome, Mr. Crawford,” Anita, Nathan’s secretary, said, standing as he walked past her.“How many?” Nathan asked.“Four,” Anita replied quickly, knowing exactly what he meant.Nathan pulled open the door, stepping into

Get It Done

“What is going on here?” Peter Crawford demanded as he strode into the room, his eyes darting between his two sons.Mike quietly excused himself, sensing the tension, and left the room to give them privacy.“Nothing, Dad,” Nathan replied calmly, then added, “What brings you here?”Peter turned his gaze to Tyler and asked, “Is that true?”Tyler shrugged and replied, “Nathan says it is.”“This is no time to fight with each other,” Peter said, sighing deeply as he added, “What if it had been your grandfather who walked in here?”“He’s the golden boy," Tyler snorted as he added, "and I doubt he'd receive any backlash."“Grandpa hasn’t been to the office in a while, Dad. I doubt he’d just show up,” Nathan replied, running a hand through his hair.“The tension in here is thick enough to cut with a knife,” Peter observed, his eyes flicking between his sons as he added, “That’s not so good, considering you are at work."Nathan sighed and replied, “It’s settled, Dad. Let’s not make a big deal

About Her

Walking into her room, Ava listened to the caller's reply as she set down her bag and took a seat on the bed.“Okay, that’s good. Let me know once the next delivery is made,” Ava replied.She ended the call a few seconds later and immediately dialed her assistant in Los Angeles.“Hello, Ava!” Lily’s voice rang with joy."You're going to burst my eardrum, you know," Ava muttered, smiling.Lily laughed as she replied, “I thought you’d forgotten all about me!”“No way I could. You know I can’t handle all this work by myself,” Ava replied, smiling.“How’s the trip going?” Lily asked.Ava walked over to the window, taking in the view of the city as she sighed deeply.“The kids love it,” Ava said, adding, “and the reason I called is because I need you to check out a new client for me.”“Okay, shoot,” Lily answered, her voice bubbling with excitement.“I need a detailed report on their business activities. You know what to look for, right?” Ava asked.“Definitely. After over two years of wor

Just Arrived

Ava checked her phone; the message was from Oliver.-Thank you for coming today, Ava. I look forward to receiving your final decision. -Oliver.Ava sighed, running a hand through her hair.“Ava?” Bella’s voice pulled her from her thoughts.Ava looked up to see Bella watching her with concern, her hands busy setting the dining table.“Hmm, yes,” Ava replied, quickly shutting her phone and forcing a smile.“Everything okay?” Bella asked, her brows knitting together.“Yes, sure,” Ava said with a nod, brushing off the lingering thoughts as she asked, “What are we having for dinner?”“Spaghetti and chicken!” Jordan and Jenna shouted in unison, their faces lighting up with identical wide grins.“Hmm, I see someone’s got their favorite meal tonight,” Ava chuckled, reaching out to playfully ruffle Jordan’s hair.“Yes!” Jordan shouted, his excitement bubbling over just as Brad entered the dining room.“Hi, Ava,” Brad greeted, his smile warm and genuine as he took a seat across from her.“Hi,

Head of the house

Clara turned back swiftly, ending the call instantly as she faced her father-in-law.“It’s nothing; I was talking to Wyatt about a new item I’m expecting,” she replied hurriedly, trying to sound casual.Timothy Crawford descended the stairs, leaning on the walking stick he used for balance. Even in his old age, his sharp eyes missed nothing.“You sounded like you were talking about someone instead of something,” Timothy said.He eased himself into one of the couches, his eyes never leaving Clara. “Anyway, you don’t have to end your call because of me.”“Oh, I was actually done talking to him,” Clara replied, trying to keep her voice steady.“Alright, if you say so,” Timothy said, leaning back into the couch.“Yes, hmm,” Clara stammered, eager to escape his probing gaze as she said, “I’ll just go check on the chef.”Once she was out of sight, Clara let out a long, shaky breath.A few seconds later, "Dad?" Peter called, walking down the stairs, over to Timothy."Where are your sons?" Ti

I'm Perfectly Fine

Brad looked at Bella, eyebrows raised. “You mean the spark designer?”“Yes, that one. They seem to be making quite a buzz in the city,” Bella replied.“Oh, yeah, I have. Although no one knows who it is, the designs are just so lovely,” Brad said, his voice filed with admiration.“What do you think, Ava?” Bella asked, turning to her.“How would I know?” Ava asked, her surprise evident.“Well, it turns out you’ve been in the fashion space longer than I have been. You didn’t tell me your father owned the Love Clothing Company,” Bella said, lowering her voice to keep the children from overhearing.Ava glanced at Brad, who was now looking at her with interest. She then turned back to Bella, her expression neutral.“That doesn’t mean I’d know the designs. We haven’t even been back in town for long.”“True,” Bella agreed, adding, “So, what do you think? Should we go check out this famous designer? Let’s see if the designs are as good as they say.”“Okay,” Ava agreed.Brad joined in, smiling.

My Mom

“Why are you silent? Say something,” Nathan asked.Tyler swallowed hard before saying, “It’s nothing major, Grandpa. I wanted to tell you after I finished. You know, it was supposed to be a surprise.”“See, he was planning a surprise,” Clara interjected, her laughter high-pitched and strained, desperate to diffuse the tension.No one joined in her laughter. Clara’s face fell, her gaze dropping to her lap.Timothy dabbed at his mouth with a napkin, setting his spoon down as he said, “Well, it seems this surprise has taken up about a billion dollars already.”“What!” Peter’s voice echoed through the dining room, his eyes darting between his father and Tyler, shocked.Nathan felt a cold knot forming in his stomach. A billion dollars? How had Tyler managed to move that kind of money without him noticing?“Tyler!” Clara’s voice was a mixture of disbelief and panic as she stared at her son.“Hmm, hmm.” Timothy’s cough silenced the room, drawing all eyes back to him.“Well, that’s part of th

First Light

“Nathan, the company is not yours,” Peter said, sounding offended.“No, but last I checked, my mother was the one who sacrificed her life for it,” Nathan shot back, his voice rising.Peter’s eyes narrowed as he replied, “I’ve sacrificed for this company too, Nathan. Whatever issues you have with me should stay between us. Don’t take it out on your innocent brother.”Nathan’s eyes flashed with anger as he responded, “You clearly don’t know anything, Dad, if you can sit there and call Tyler innocent.”“You will not speak to your father in such a manner!” Clara shouted, standing up abruptly, her face flushed with anger.Nathan turned to Clara, his voice dripping with contempt as he said, “Says the woman who swept in to take it all.”“What did you just say?” Tyler demanded, his eyes narrowing as he fixed his gaze on Nathan.Before Nathan could respond, Nora interjected, standing up from her seat. “I think it’s time to call it a night.”“Yeah," Nathan agreed, turning away from the table.Pe

Your Role

Bella sat on the edge of Ava’s bed, scrolling through her phone, half-focused on what she was reading.“What happened?” Ava asked again, turning towards Bella, still looking sleepy.“The designer just released a new line, and my god!” Bella exclaimed.“Let me see,” Ava muttered, reaching over and gently taking the phone from Bella.“Seriously, Ava, we have to check out these collections,” Bella insisted, waiting eagerly for Ava’s reaction.Ava scrolled through the collection on Bella’s phone. The new designs were showcased on the Delicate Stitches website, since they were the only outlet with access to the designer.“Yes?” Bella asked as she watched Ava's expression.“It’s good, I guess,” Ava said nonchalantly, handing the phone back to Bella.Bella blinked in surprise as she replied, “You guess?”Ava laid back down on the bed, stretching her arms and legs as she let out a long, contented sigh, “Ahhh.”“How can you say ‘you guess’ about such amazing work?” Bella pressed, disbelief evi

Falling Into Place

Nora’s chest heaved as she struggled to keep her anger in check.“I have no idea what you—” she began, but Tyler cut her off, his voice sharp.“Oh, come on, Nora. Don’t play dumb. You can drop the whole innocent act.”Nora’s eyes narrowed as she darted a glance around the room, ensuring they were alone.“Whatever it is you think you’re accusing me of, it won’t work, okay?” She shot back.Tyler’s smile widened as he shrugged and said, “Accusing? Oh no, sweetheart. I’m just stating the facts.”Nora’s voice grew colder as she said, “Leave my son out of this, Tyler.”Tyler took a long sip of his coffee before responding, “Nora, I don’t even have to try.”Nora let out a dry, almost hysterical laugh, clapping her hands slowly in disbelief, and said, “Oh, please. You never stood a chance to begin with.”Tyler’s face darkened, and his voice dropped as he said, “You started this chaos six years ago. Don’t pretend you had no hand in it.”“I have nothing to do with the state of this family,” Nor
