_FLASHBACK_“Come in,” Fiona diverted her attention from the file in front of her to the door, which opened to reveal Alaina, who wore a red sundress and a black hat with a red designer bag that matched her outfits. Fiona’s face lit up seeing that it was Alaina. She dropped her pen and ran toward her for a hug. Alaina pulled away from their embrace after a few minutes, asking, "How are you, babe?"“Well, let’s say I’m fine, as you can see.” Fiona grinned and gestured to Alaina to sit down on the chair across from her. “You know, sitting behind this desk really suits you,” Alaina pointed out the obvious, making Fiona pout slightly. “You don’t have to go this far to prove that you love him,” she added. Fiona took a deep breath. “He is my man, babe. I love him, and he loves me too. And you know I already did that. I'm just filling in for him while he's out of town,” Fiona stated, less like an explanation to Alaina. “I know, but...” Fiona cut her off, saying, “No buts, trust me on t

The thought that Chloe had already lost Ethan tightened her chest. It felt like her heart had been ripped out of her body, squeezed, thrown on the floor, and trampled repeatedly without a shred of pity.With her heart shattered like a broken vase, leaking blood instead of water, Chloe got into her car and drove away from Ethan’s apartment. She knew she lost him and wasn’t going to blame anyone for that, but only one person knew about her relationship with Ethan and her one-night stand with a guy, and that was her best friend, Cecil. She was going to make her pay. She stopped her car engine beside the road. Every word Ethan said replayed in his head like a forgotten melody. Her hand shook around the steering wheel, and her shoulder trembled. Tears streamed down her face as she found it difficult to drive. She knew if she continued driving, she might end up in the hospital. This was difficult for her to take in. She picked up her phone and called her personal driver to come pick her u

Ending the call, Chloe was driving back to her apartment, trusting the person she had called to carry out her murdering order. She was twenty minutes away from the apartment when her phone rang. Her gaze shifted between the road and her phone screen on the car’s center console. A frown marred her features, seeing who it was. With a clenched jaw and darkened expression, she pulled over by the roadside to answer the call. Begrudgingly, she slid across her phone screen and answered the call, placing it in her ear. “Hey, Dad,” she spoke first. “I need you here immediately. Don’t waste my time, girl,” Mr. Anderson's hoarse voice echoed at the other side. Chloe knew when her father used that voice on her. He was serious. She couldn’t mess with him, knowing how irascible he was.“But Dad, it’s late,” she yawned, pretending to sound sleepy. “It’s late?” Mr. Anderson snickered. “And you’re not home,” he retorted. “Don’t waste my time. Get here, now!” With that said, he ended the call bef

“Why are you following me!?” Ethan demanded, and disgust dripped out of every word. The spy spat out a mouthful of blood as a result of the hit from Ethan. "It's just a coincidence that we are heading in the same direction. I am not following you,” he answered, not giving in to the physical threat. Ethan dropped him and motioned for the guy in the black suit to take over. He doesn’t like to get physical in public because he wouldn’t want the news that he was assaulting someone to start flying over the internet when they don’t know the root of the matter. The guy grabbed him roughly, pinning him to his car. He smacked him across the face. “Start talking,” he thundered, and he smacked him again and again. “I said I am not following...” Before he could finish his sentence, the guy fist connected to his face. His lips and nose burst such that blood started dripping out of them. “Who are you!?” The guy brought out a g*n and pointed it at his head. Feeling the cold metal in contact wit

Just as Fiona had said. All she needed was sleep. After taking a long night's rest, she was up the next day and left for the company after her driver dropped Rowan off at school. Her birthday was on her mind. She was thinking about whether to celebrate it or not, so she decided to seek Mia’s opinion. “So, Mia, my birthday is in three days' time,” she said, causing Mia to turn around and face her. A huge grin on her face as she spoke with awe. “Oh, really?” Her eyes brightened. Fiona nodded in response. “So, I’m thinking..." She paused and tilted her head to the side. “Celebration?” “Of course we will celebrate it,” Mia responded joyfully. “It would be really fun,” she added with a big smile. Mia was a social butterfly, always seeking out fun and excitement. Fiona, on the other hand, was more reserved, preferring the company of only her friends and family. They were complete opposites."So we're all coming to Robinson Mansion by the weekend, right?" She said it rhetorically, not
