DESPERATION

Sophia’s office felt like a cage. Dark shadows from the fading light of late afternoon extended menacingly across the room. Sitting with clenched hands in her lap, she gazed at her phone. Her mind was filled with a million thoughts, but one stood out above all: how would she be able to locate the funds? The phone felt heavy, a reminder of every connection she was considering burning through to meet Felicia’s demands. She sighed deeply, the weight of her situation pressing against her chest like a tightening vice. But she needed a plan.She suddenly felt her phone vibrating, which made her startled. Believing it was a message from Felicia, she accepted it, only to find out it was a call from Jonathan Evans, a patient she hadn't communicated with for months. “Jonathan?” Sophia answered, trying to keep her voice steady, casual.“Sophia!” Jonathan’s voice was warm, almost too friendly. “It’s been too long. I wanted to check in—see if you’re still accepting clients?”She paused, trying t

RISKY ALLIES

Sophia walked back and forth in her cozy apartment, holding her phone, debating whether to call Martin Grey. Merely looking at it caused a flood of reminiscences, all touched with hues of remorse and urgency. They had not communicated for years, ever since her time as a resident when she discovered the extent of his secretive work. But Martin was resourceful, influential—and more importantly, he never asked too many questions.With a shaky breath, she tapped the number.The call barely rang twice before a deep, familiar voice answered. “Sophia. This is unexpected.”"Martin," she responded, attempting to suppress the tremble in her voice. "It has been some time." "Exactly three years," he replied, his voice calm yet filled with interest. “So, what’s the occasion? I assume this isn’t a social call.”She swallowed, forcing herself to sound composed. “No. I… I need help. Financial help.”A pause lingered on the line before Martin chuckled softly. “Ah, so this is about money. You’ve got

SUSPICION

Felicia walked into the office with her typical self-assurance, her heels making a clicking sound on the shiny floor, each step deliberate and intentional. She found pleasure in the attention, the stares that accompanied her wherever she went. Power, control—she’d mastered the art of commanding both. However, today, things were not the same. She sensed gazes lingering for too long, shadows in her side vision that were previously absent. Upon reaching her desk, she observed Anna, a coworker recognized for her keen intuition, observing her from a distance within the room. Felicia flashed a brief smile while raising her eyebrow inquisitively. Anna hesitated, then returned the smile with a curious tilt of her head. “Morning, Felicia.”“Morning,” Felicia replied smoothly, placing her bag down. “Something on your mind?”“Oh, nothing much,” Anna said, a little too nonchalantly. “You’ve just seemed… preoccupied lately. Everything alright?”Felicia's stomach churned, yet she managed to let o

SOPHIE'S WEB OF LIES

Sophia gripped her phone tightly, her hands shaking as she looked at the names she knew well in her contacts. Every time she saw a new name or face, a fresh surge of guilt overwhelmed her, yet Felicia's expectations dominated her thoughts, silencing her conscience. She couldn’t think about the consequences right now—she needed the money, and she needed it fast.Taking a shaky breath, she dialed her sister, Megan. It was late, but Megan always picked up for her.“Sophia?” Megan’s voice was thick with sleep but tinged with immediate concern. “Everything alright?”“Hey… Megan,” Sophia forced a lightness into her voice, trying to sound normal. I apologize for phoning at this late hour. I simply didn't have anyone else to confide in. The concern in Megan’s voice sharpened. “What’s going on, Sophia? You sound stressed.”Sophia swallowed, already feeling her heart race. “It’s… something unexpected came up. I… I’m in a bit of a financial bind, and I need help.”There was a pause, one Sophia

IN THE DARK

Felicia tapped her fingers on the desk while surveying the empty office. The quiet was meant to be relaxing, yet today it annoyed her and heightened her vigilance. She experienced the unsettling feeling of being seen once more. Anxiety surrounded her, suggesting that someone was watching her every action. Even though she convinced herself it was just a creation of her mind, she couldn't shake off the disturbing feeling. Deep in her thoughts, she was jolted when Julia, her secretary, knocked and entered without awaiting an invitation. "Felicia?" Julia looked concerned at her boss's astonished face.“Yes?” Felicia’s voice came out sharper than intended, her heart racing. She masked it with a tight smile, hoping Julia wouldn’t notice her agitation.Julia hesitated, her own gaze flicking around the room. “I, uh… just wanted to check if you needed anything else before I head out.”Felicia forced a dismissive wave of her hand, feeling her pulse begin to slow. “No, I’m fine. Go ahead.”Juli

CRACKS

Sophia sat alone in the dim, quiet room, her hands clutching her head as the echo of another rejection call lingered in her ears. She had run out of options. Everyone she had trusted, everyone she’d once thought might lend a hand, had shut the door in her face. Her shady “ally” had demanded more in exchange for help—a price she wasn’t sure she could pay without staining her soul beyond recognition.A soft knock at the door interrupted her spiraling thoughts. It was her sister, Lila, peeking in with a concerned look. “Sophia? Are you okay?”Sophia took a shaky breath, forcing herself to look up. “I’m… fine, Lila. Just… work stress.”Lila didn’t look convinced.She entered the room, bringing a chair nearer. “Sophia, I’ve never witnessed you in this way.” "It feels as though you are bearing the burden of the entire earth." Sophia directed her eyes downward, steering clear of her sister’s inquisitive stare. She had thought about sharing her feelings with Lila, telling her everything—but t

VALID SUSPICION

Felicia's heels clattered sharply on the pavement as she glanced back, her stomach tightening at the glimpse of the person trailing a few steps behind her. She accelerated her pace, her thoughts swirling. For several days, she experienced an uneasy sensation of being observed, a tingling awareness that someone was focused on her even in moments of solitude. But this was different. This was real.She rounded a corner, moving beneath the faint glow of a street lamp and stopping briefly to take out her phone, feigning a check of a message. The outline caught her attention out of the corner of her eye; it was a tall, dark figure, and as he got closer to her, his speed slowed. The beating of her heartbeat reverberated in her ears as she repacked the phone in her bag and resumed her walk, summoning her resolve. Her thoughts swirled with inquiries. Who was he? Was he one of Sophia's associates, or someone who had caught wind of her threats? She couldn't allow her anxiety to overwhelm her,

GROWING DECEPTION

Sophia’s hand tightened around her phone as her ally’s message blinked across the screen. “We need to talk. Tonight.” She knew what that meant—pressure, demands, and more complications. Her heart pounded as she imagined their conversation, his cold, calculating stare as he pushed her further into the mess she had created. There was no way out, not yet. And now, she could feel the fractures appearing in her meticulously built facade. She hardly had a moment to reflect on the anxiety eating away at her when a gentle knock resonated on her office door. “Sophia?” her coworker, Dr. Malik, inquired, his tone soft but inquisitive. Sophia took a steadying breath, smoothing her expression before opening the door. “Oh, Dr. Malik. Is everything alright?”He studied her, his dark eyes probing, before taking a step inside. "I was intending to ask you the very same question." He held his gaze on her for a brief moment. “You’ve seemed… off lately. I thought I’d check in.”Sophia forced a laugh, wa

IN THE DARK

The taxi driver glanced at Felicia in the rearview mirror, his brow tightening as she whispered an annoyed series of words quietly to herself. She had just noticed that her handbag was still at the cafe. How careless could she be? Between paranoia and her split attention, it felt like she was slipping. She was usually so careful, always in control. But this… this was different.“Ma’am, are you okay?” the cab driver inquired cautiously, his voice reflecting both curiosity and worry. "Yes, I just… I have to return to the cafe," she retorted, attempting to hide her annoyance with herself. “Now, please.”The cab driver didn’t need to be told twice, and within minutes, they were pulling up at the cafe. She tossed some cash in his direction, hardly noticing his quiet gratitude, as she rushed out and looked at the tables inside through the window. There it was—her handbag, undisturbed, exactly where she had placed it. A sigh of relief left her as she entered to get it. However, when she li

THE DELIVERY

The silence in Thane’s private office was dense, laced with his brooding presence and the subtle hum of the city below. He sat back in his leather chair, fingers steepled, eyes narrow as he awaited the update from his hired spy. The man fidgeted before him, wringing his hands, glancing at the shadows stretching along the polished floor. He swallowed hard, the noise barely audible yet it grated against Thane's patience.“You have one job,” Thane’s voice was low, a deadly calm that hinted at the storm brewing beneath. “One simple job, and you come back here stammering like a fool.”The spy's eyes darted, the adrenaline now pumping through his veins as he struggled to keep his voice steady. “Sir, I-I followed her as planned, but she… she noticed.”Thane’s fingers froze mid-tap on his armrest. His gaze locked onto the man’s, sharp as a blade. “She noticed?” His tone dripped with disbelief and derision. “Are you telling me this woman—a woman, mind you—uncovered your presence?”The spy pale
