The Next Night – The First Part of Their PlanJasmine pressed fingers onto the smoothly waxed wood of a booth in a dark saloon, her eyes blankly drifting off into space. Whiskey and cigar smell hung in the air and jazz seeped from some ancient speaker far across in the corner.Jayla and Jade sat observing her from behind across where she was sitting, nervously protected.They waited.Then Jack showed up.He was wearing a black leather jacket, smile smeared across his face, still cutting. Jack eased in next to Jasmine and glanced at her sisters before he reclaimed his seat in his chair."Long time, ladies," Jack slurred. "Now, dish—what did you get your noses out of joint about this time?"Jayla was scowling, but Jasmine wasn't as fast on the draw."You get together with someone?" she asked boldly.Jack smiled. "Not anyone." He moved in close to her. "I met the best."Jade raised an eyebrow. "Yo

The Last Manipulations – Who Cracks First? Sarah sat across from Fraser, her heart pounding, but her expression a mask of calm. She had honed the skill of control for decades. But now? She was seconds away from losing everything. Fraser still held the folder Jasmine had given him, his eyes reading the pages slowly, laboriously. Each second seemed to drag on like an eternity. Then—he exhaled, closing the folder. His jaw tightened, his face unyielding. Sarah had to move fast. Sarah's Last Lie – Redefining Reality She rested a hand on Fraser's, her fingers soft, imploring. "Baby, please," she pleaded. "You can't seriously think that they're lying." Fraser's hold on the folder tightened. Sarah went on speaking softly, soothingly. "You know me. You know I would never hurt you." Jade snorted from beside her. "Wow. You don't give up, huh?" Sarah did not look at her, her eyes and attention only on Fraser. She gasped unevenly, her voice shaking with emotion. "T

The Breaking Point – Axel and Sarah Struggle to Maintain Control Sarah had spent years perfecting the art of lying. She could lie faster than anyone could blink an eye. She'd lied her way out of every desperate situation. And now? She stood before Fraser, her eyes fixed on his as his face clouded, reading through the deposition that the triplets had signed.

Fraser did not loosen his grip on the folder. Jayla goaded. "Oh, look. The legendary Sarah manipulation." Sarah remained silent. She moved closer, her fingers brushi

Days After – Fraser's Heartbreak AftermathFraser threw open his apartment, curtains drawn, the only soft light from the city lights outside his window.It was still there.Quiet.Too quiet.It had been days since he'd bid Sarah farewell.Days since his world fell apart around him in pieces.And still?The grip of worry tension across his chest never loosened.He waited two years for Sarah.Protected her. Taught her. Loved her.For whatA lie.To a woman who'd lied to him.Fraser let out a shuddering breath, his fingers massaging his face.It wasn't that Sarah's lies had annoyed him.It was what he'd lost because of her.The woman who loved him.The one he'd pushed away.And now?She was gone.He'd lost something real because of something that never was real in the first place.His chest constricted.He'd wasted so much time.And why?For nothing.For nothing at all.The anger coursed through him first.Then the pain.Then?The hollowness.He huddled back, wheeze rasping.Sitting woul
