CORNERED

Jason strode into the glass doors of his company's headquarters, but he didn't feel at home in this familiar environment. Today, it seemed like everything was louder—the distant hum of phones, the murmur of people, the clicking of laptops. Every glance from his employees felt loaded, every nod of acknowledgment felt like suspicion. Did he look at him differently, or was it just him? He forced himself to swallow, attempting to ignore his paranoia, but Isabella's words, "I know everything," kept repeating in his head. I see everything.”Was it true? Could she really be watching him, knowing his every move? The idea tormented him. Had he not taken all the necessary safety measures? Or was someone here feeding her information?He reached the elevator and waited as it rose, his mind racing. His assistant, Jane, greeted him the moment he stepped out, but Jason barely registered her presence. Her usual cheerful demeanor grated on him today, like sandpaper on his nerves.“Sir, I’ve compiled

THE FINAL CONFRONTATION

The parking garage was virtually empty, but for the faint hum of fluorescent lights flickering above. As Jason made his way to the dimly lit nook where Isabella had instructed him to meet her, his footfall resounded against the hard surface. With every stride, he tightened his hold on the envelope, feeling the weight of the cash within being quite substantial. He stopped and looked around. The quiet was eerie, causing the hairs on his neck to stand up. After that, Isabella came out from the darkness and entered the faint light, her high heels making a clicking sound on the floor.. She was already grinning, mockingly triumphant, as though she had defeated a battle he was unaware he was engaged in.“Right on time,” she purred, her voice cutting through the stillness. She stopped a few feet away, eyeing the envelope in his hand. “I see you brought what I asked for.”Jason clinched his jaw. His eyes were fixed on hers as he waited for her to react, attempting to predict her next move. He

SUBTLE DELAY

The conversation between Isabella and Thane had a deceptive ease to it, the kind that comes with familiarity. Yet, beneath her calm demeanor, she was setting her plan in motion. Thane had always been her support, the one to ground her, but there were larger ambitions swirling in Isabella’s mind. And for that, she needed time.Isabella glanced up from her glass of wine, her expression poised and thoughtful as she watched Thane settle onto the couch beside her. The soft lighting in the room created a warm atmosphere, but it failed to prevent the slow encroachment of the chilly sensation she was starting to feel. The tightness in his shoulders and the evident fatigue on his face made it clear to her that he had endured a tiring day. Normally, seeing him like this would stir some feeling of affection, maybe even guilt. But tonight, the pressing nature of the tasks at hand overwhelmed her. With a tiny smile teasing the corner of his mouth, Thane cast a quick glance in her direction. His h

UNRAVELING THREADS

With a mixture of uncertainty and wrath buzzing through his consciousness, Thane paced the length of the room, his grasp tightening around his phone. Everything had fallen apart when Kendall's pregnancy was discovered, but he wasn't going to give Jason the upper hand. Never, ever, not right now.He could feel Isabella’s eyes on him, watching intently. Her calm demeanor unsettled him, but he pushed it aside for now. He needed to focus on one thing—unraveling the mystery of Jason’s marriage and this pregnancy.“Thane?” Isabella’s voice was smooth, but there was an edge of curiosity, maybe even intrigue. She didn’t like being kept out of the loop, and Thane knew it. He stopped pacing and turned to her, his expression hard. “Kendall being pregnant—it doesn’t make sense. Something’s off.”“Off how?” Isabella leaned forward, her lips pursed in thought. She always enjoyed being part of the game, always ready to strike when it suited her. Thane narrowed his eyes, running a hand through his

INTO THE ABYSS

The edge of Thane's desk was constantly being pounded by his fingers. In his study, his laptop screen shone in the low light, giving his face a strange blue tint. He had hardly left this room in the last three days, his mind fixed on Kendall's flawless exterior. There had to be something hidden beneath the surface—no one could rise from obscurity and fall into Jason’s life so perfectly.He scrolled through endless pages of information, his eyes narrowing as each search turned up nothing of significance. Her school records, job history, even her social media—all clean. It didn’t make sense. It was incomprehensible. "Oh my god!" He slammed the laptop shut, whispering to himself. Isabella was curled up on the sofa, her legs tastefully crossed, as seen from across the room. She appeared to be focussing elsewhere as she didn't take her eyes from the magazine. But Thane could feel her presence, calm and unbothered, and it only agitated him more."You would think a woman such as Kendall wo

CRACKS IN THE FACADE

Thane dashed into the living room, his face flushed with anger. The past three days were a whirlwind of insomnia, tiring investigations, and fruitless results. Each path he followed, each clue he chased, all ended up being dead ends. Kendall was an enigma, a ghost with a flawless history. And Jason? He was showing off his quick marriage and imminent fatherhood as though they were all part of some grand scheme, smugly reveling in his role as the golden boy. Isabella, lounging on the comfortable couch, glanced up from her device as Thane's heavy footsteps echoed through the room. Her indifferent demeanor and the slight tilt of her head further fueled his anger. She wasn’t helping—she never had. Not really.Thane threw his hands up in exasperation. “It’s pointless! I’ve searched everywhere. Everywhere! There’s nothing—no mistakes, no hidden scandals, nothing I can use against her.”Isabella raised a brow, setting her tablet down on the glass coffee table. “You sound surprised.”"I'm def

FEARS AND SHADOWS

With her hands clasped around her stomach, Kendall sat at the edge of her bed, her mind whirling like the clouds in a storm outside. The preceding several weeks had seen a terrible gap build between her and Jason as a result of miscommunication, secrets, and the ongoing drama that had taken over their life. She had moved back into her room, a physical representation of the emotional distance that had gradually grown between them. She looked around the room, feeling uneasy inside. The cold, distant connection she was currently trapped in was not the future she had pictured.Kendall placed her hand on her stomach, the baby inside serving as a constant reminder of past and future anxieties. The gentle light from the bedside lamp created moving shadows on the walls, resembling the spirits of her past, her remorse, her deceit.The pregnancy was real. The life growing inside her was real. But the marriage? It was based on lies, and it seemed like the walls were closing in on us every day. T

UNVEILING TENSION

“Thane?”With his bulk filling the doorway, he stood there. Though his expression was composed, she could not help but notice the intense intensity in his eyes, which gave her shivers. There was tension in the air between them, only magnified by the way he held himself, so calm, so quiet. Strange feelings of dread began to seep into Kendall's chest; she had a gut feeling that this visit would not be beneficial."Kendall," he said, his voice soft but with a hint of menace in it that made her stomach turn around. A somewhat smiling expression played on his lips, yet it was cold. "We must have a conversation." Kendall's fingers gripped the wood of the doorframe tightly, as though it was the only thing keeping her grounded. Especially at this point, the last thing she wanted was to be left alone with Thane. Especially with everything hanging by such a fragile thread. She started, trying to remain composed, her voice trailing off a little. "Now's not really a good time—" However, Thane in

THE SCANDAL BREAKS

Kendall stirred her coffee without paying much attention, her mind preoccupied with the thoughts of the day ahead as she sat at the kitchen island. Upon seeing the clock, she recognized that it was becoming extremely late. Though "early" seemed to signify something different these days, Jason had promised to get home early. Her phone chimed on the counter while she was sipping, interrupting her moment of concentration.It was a notification from a news app. The headline screamed at her: “CEO Jason Carter’s Shocking Past: Ties to a Family Scandal!”Kendall’s heart raced. Her fingers trembled as she opened the newspaper and read the years-old accusations made against Jason's family. She started to realise the ramifications as she dug farther. She was not just reading about Jason; she was now part of the story. Fantastic," she whispered beneath her breath, her fury building. She took a deep breath and reached for her phone, frantically trying to call Jason. "Hello, Kendall," he replied

UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

As Kendall walked out of the lift and towards Jason's office, the sound of her heels clicking against Carter Enterprises' polished floors reverberated sharply through the hallway. The weight of the message Jason had sent earlier that morning continued to hang over Kendall, and each step she took felt heavier than the last. “We need to talk at the office. Meet me here.” For hours, she pondered over those words, experiencing a mix of fascination and dread. She felt her stomach tying in knots after reading the words, and it had remained that way since.In comparison to the lovely morning outside, the air in the office felt unusually cold. It was cold around her, not even the bright sunshine coming in through the glass windows to warm her. She could feel eyes on her, the occasional glances from employees as she passed by, making the tension in her shoulders tighten. Although Jason's company had never seemed particularly welcoming, it felt oppressive today. She and Jason had been harborin
