PAUSE IN TIME

The car journey was peaceful, yet not uncomfortable. Jason reclined, casually swiping on his phone as Kendall stared out the window. She slightly angled her head, and her mouth slightly opened in a gentle gasp. "Jason, check this out!" she whispered, her voice filled with unusual enthusiasm. Jason immediately looked up and followed her gaze. A grand fountain came into view, its sparkling water catching the sunlight in mesmerizing arcs. The flowing water appeared to be dancing, while the peaceful garden enhanced the overall charm. "Isn't it lovely?" Kendall remarked, her voice filled with nostalgia. Jason didn’t reply right away, captivated by the look on her face. It wasn’t often he saw her so visibly delighted by something. He tapped the driver’s shoulder. “Stop the car.” The driver pulled over smoothly, and Jason stepped out, walking briskly around to Kendall’s side. He opened the door and reached out his hand. "Surprised, she asked, 'What are you up to?'" "Bringing you to v

BROKEN

The living room was filled with a gentle evening warmth, Kendall's light laughter mixing with the soft hum of the central air conditioning. Jason relaxed on the sofa, with one arm casually resting on the backrest and a slight smile appearing on his lips. Jason playfully teased, expressing disbelief that she managed to purchase six pairs of shoes in just one afternoon, as he gestured towards the collection of shopping bags at their feet. “Are you planning to open a store or something?” Kendall rolled her eyes but couldn’t suppress her grin. “I’ll have you know, Mr. Carter, that all six are essential.” She held up her hand before he could interrupt. “Yes, even the sparkly ones. Don’t judge.” Jason chuckled. “Fine. But don’t blame me when I have to build another closet to fit your essentials.” “You? "Construct a wardrobe?" she joked, raising an eyebrow. "I'll trust it once it's in front of me." Their playful conversation filled the room smoothly, a feeling of friendship borderin

A SILENT PRISON

Jason remained seated in his study, clutching the armrests of his chair tightly, as though desperately grasping his last bit of self-control. A combination of betrayal, confusion, and rage swirled within him as his heart thumped in his chest. "What led to this occurrence?" Thane’s smug voice echoed relentlessly in his mind. “It’s not your child but mine. Did you ever wonder why she hid so much of her past?” The weight of those words settled over him like a suffocating fog. He had trusted Kendall, despite the hurried nature of their marriage. Had that been his mistake? Jason’s jaw tightened as doubt crept in. “But why? What motive does she have to deceive me in such a way?" He looked over at the intercom that was sitting on his desk. With a cold and commanding voice, he pushed the button. “Ensure Mrs. Carter remains in her room. Bring her meals there. No one enters this house without my approval—especially Thane.” "Of course, Mr. Carter," the staff replied quickly, maintaining a s

WORK

When he finally opened his door, the heaviness on his chest had transformed into a chilly and unyielding sensation. He threw his tie on the closest chair and collapsed onto the edge of his bed, covering his face with his hands. Memories, arguments, and doubts flooded his mind, each one more overwhelming than the previous. Why is this difficult? Eventually, he was overcome by fatigue. Jason rested against the pillows, his arm casually placed over his face while his breath became calm. The subtle fragrance of her perfume stayed in his thoughts, a poignant indication of what he couldn't understand. In the morning, Jason was rudely awakened by his blaring alarm. He rubbed his eyes, moving slowly and out of sync. The heaviness of the previous night still remained, if anything, it had increased. He hurriedly took a shower, but the chilly water didn't help clear his foggy thoughts. While Jason stood before the mirror fixing his cufflinks, his face showed no emotion, but his reflection re

RETURNING HOME

On the journey back to his house, Jason occupied the rear seat of the car, his fingers drumming on his thigh in a sporadic pattern. His driver looked at him in the mirror, with a cautious expression, as if considering whether to say something. "Mr. Carter, are you okay?" Jason continued to stare at the cityscape passing by, his expression unreadable in the flickering light of the streetlights. “Just drive,” he replied, his tone clipped. The driver silently agreed with his boss's mood and nodded, refraining from speaking further. The car smoothly navigated through the busy city evening traffic as the engine purred softly, yet inside the vehicle, there was a heavy atmosphere of tension. Jason reclined, blowing air out of his nostrils while gazing at the beams of light outside. Uncontrollable whirls engulfed his thoughts. “What is causing me to constantly dwell on her? About what she’s hiding?” He rubbed his temple, frustration clawing at his composure. Thane's words replayed in h

QUIET GESTURE

Jason lingered outside Kendall's door, his hand hovering close to the doorknob. The corridor was quiet, with only his steady breathing and the subtle creak of the house settling in the calm night. He clenched his jaw as he recalled Thane’s accusations, the way his stepbrother had enjoyed each word as he sowed the seeds of uncertainty. “Coward,” Jason muttered under his breath, shaking his head as though to clear the thoughts. He wasn’t running. Not from Kendall, not from the truth. Upon opening the door, Jason was shocked by what he saw. Kendall lay curled up on the bed, appearing as though she was attempting to block out the world. Her hair was tousled, and the stark difference between her fair skin and the dark bedding stood out prominently.Entering the room, Jason softly called out Kendall's name before closing the door. She stirred, her eyes swollen from tears flickering open, yet she remained lying down. She briefly gazed at him with a mix of surprise and humiliation shown i

TORN BETWEEN SHADOWS

Jason sat in his study, the amber liquid in his glass catching the low light of the desk lamp. His fingers toyed with the rim, his eyes never once leaving the surface of the drink. The room around him was eerily quiet, the faint hum of the city outside the only sound breaking the stillness. His thoughts, however, were anything but still. They ran, turned, and crashed into each other, not willing to be controlled. He still had Kendall's face in his mind - her eyes appearing dull and red-rimmed, as if she had not slept for days. That look... “Had he been too hard on her?”A sudden frustration welled up in him. “She has been keeping things from me.” His jaw tightened. "Despite my assurance for her to have faith in me, I cannot allow her to control me once more." He got up suddenly, the chair making a loud scraping noise on the floor. He held a trembling glass of alcohol, but refrained from drinking. Instead of that, he walked back and forth in the room, causing the floorboards to crea

FAMILY DINNER APPROACHES

The soft click of the door echoed through the otherwise quiet room as the maid, Mandy stepped inside. She hesitated for a moment, her eyes scanning the space before landing on Jason, who stood by the window, his back to her. “Mr. Carter, the family dinner,” she began gently, her voice laced with caution, knowing how distracted he had been all day. “You may want to start preparing. It’s in two hours.” Jason didn’t turn around, his fingers lightly brushing over the fabric of his tuxedo, but his thoughts were miles away. “The family dinner. Another performance. Another round of expectations, thinly veiled beneath polite smiles.” “I’ll be ready,” he replied shortly, his tone betraying nothing. Mandy hesitated before continuing, her voice softening. “You chose this tuxedo for the occasion, sir, with Mrs. Carter.” Jason paused, his eyes flickering to the reflection of his own figure in the mirror. The memory of Kendall on that day at the boutique flashed in his mind. “She looked ra

BRUISED

The evening was heavy with anticipation as Jason and Kendall stepped out of the car in front of Williams Carter’s sprawling mansion. The tall windows streaming bright lights offered little solace for the anxiety gripping Jason's chest. Kendall played with her shawl nervously, her hands trembling as she looked up at the grand facade of the building. Jason noticed her reluctance and carefully rested his hand on her lower back, guiding her towards the correct path. "We will endure," he murmured in a calm, gentle tone. Looking up at him, Kendall sought comfort in his expression. “Do you think Thane will—” “He’ll try something,” Jason interrupted, his tone clipped. “But I won’t let him win.” The front doors swung open, revealing Catherine Carter’s welcoming smile. “Jason! Kendall!” Her eyes softened as she took in Kendall’s figure. “Oh, dear, you’re glowing. Pregnancy suits you beautifully.” “Thank you, Mrs. Carter,” Kendall replied, her voice polite but tinged with unease. Cathe

CONTRACT DISSOLVED

Jason angrily left the mansion, his footsteps loudly reverberating on the tiled floors. The frigid night air struck him severely as he went outside, his breath generating visible clouds. His fingers were tightly clinched at his sides, and his jaw was so hard that it hurt.At the door, Kendall hesitated behind him. Her chest felt like a drum with each thumping of her heart. She desired to accompany and clarify, but the dread of his disapproval kept her immobilized. In the end, with bravery, she walked out into the dark. "Jason," she whispered gently, her voice shaking. He froze but didn’t turn. His voice, low and sharp, cut through the silence. “Don’t.” Kendall flinched but moved closer, her hands clasped in front of her as though they could hold her shattered composure together. “Please, just listen to me. I—I didn’t want to hurt you. I thought I was protecting you.” Jason then shifted his gaze, his eyes shimmering with a combination of rage and discomfort in the faint illuminat
