TensionI clenched my jaw, mulling it over in frustration, anger, and anguish buried just beneath my heart. Is he really asking me that?“Are you seriously asking me that? Aren't you even supposed to be afraid of what I might do to you? Yet here you are, asking such nonsense. Ridiculous!” I snapped, my voice roaring. A tap from Louis brought me back to the reality of our situation and the mission we were on.“Afraid?” he uttered calmly, almost feebly, his tone wavering. A slight smirk crossed his face, surging the anger afresh in my heart. I threw a light punch across his cheek, sending him back involuntarily, slamming his back against the brick wall meant to shield his sorry self."That's for being silly," I muttered, casting daggers at him with my eyes as I swiftly stripped off the handkerchief from my pocket to clean my hands. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he slowly regained his composure.“I guess that's for attacking your men,” he sneered, and I groaned.“Boss, I thi

A hint of the unknownA moment of silence from the bosses ended, and an unreadable expression increased the unease settling in my heart as he finally groaned, clearing his throat before proceeding.“My team and I have considered everything that has gone down the drain so far, and after much thought, we came to a concrete agreement to invest once more in your company.” He paused, adjusting the file laid neatly before him and passing it across to me. “Inside, you’ll find all the details you need to know about this partnership.” He waited for a response, watching my perplexed face alongside his board members, who all had their gazes fixed on me delightedly.“Congratulations, and welcome on board,” he announced, rising from his seat, followed by the other board directors. Some wore grins, while others had more neutral expressions. He stepped forward, extending his hand for a firm handshake, which I reciprocated.Still perplexed and frozen in place, I watched them leave the conference room

Dangerous endUncertainty crept in, sending shivers down my spine as I clutched my heart, reaffirming my resolve to fight; a desire for justice, to reclaim my place, and ensure everything was going according to plan."Ma'am, I don't think things are fine around here," he chimed in. "From my observation, I suggest we leave immediately." He explained and I huffed, trailing my gaze around the area to observe what might be amiss, though activities seemed to be going on as usual. Every corner seemed to be active with people going about their businesses."I don't see anything out of the ordinary," I replied. He groaned, pointing a slender finger toward a nearby aisle where two men in black jeans, with a rough appearance, stood."Look, those guys over there are keeping an eye on the surroundings. And those ones over there," he added, drawing my attention to the opposite direction. Despite his warning, no sense of compression settled in my heart as I watched carefully. The awaited beep final

Unsettling turnsHarry's POVFrom the moment he walked in, I knew he wasn’t alone. However, what puzzled me was why he chose to show up in the living room without anyone by his side; it seemed a bit odd.I watched in despair and pain as Jack walked away from Celine, who barked at him. I gasped immediately. It hurt deep down to see him treat her so ruthlessly. My thoughts tormented me every second as I watched. It felt like a thousand drumsticks pounding loudly in my eardrums. I struggled against the wire binding my hands to break free. A small shard of tin still coated with rust tore through my skin, causing unbearable pain as I stumbled over the floor, praying to break free from its hold.Celine rushed over to pick up her torn clothes and partially covered her cleavage. Her gaze shifted in my direction, and I flinched. I felt guilty in that instant, even though I didn’t know how the information leaked to Jack or how he managed to track me down despite my careful planning. “I'm so sor

Passionate moment“You never told me you were going to spend the night here. When did you make this sudden change?” I asked, a bit concerned.She hissed, “That's because Aaron isn't in town, and the house is just too big for me to stay alone,” she spat out, and I simmered, narrowing my gaze at the expression on her face.“You seem to change your mood so easily. Just a simple question, and you get all worked up,” I teased, and she winced.“That’s because you chose to ignore my earlier inquiry.”“What inquiry?”“That you should give Harry a chance once again,” she articulated, and I fumed.“Alright, I’ll think about it and get back to you,” I replied, placing my hands on her shoulders as she smiled warmly.*****Two days after, I was seated in the living room after a long day of activities and meetings. I was elated that everything was finally in place. The scandals had been successfully taken off the internet as fake, and most of the blogs vanished as a result.It was my most memorable
