041. What did I miss?

Dan Sawyer stepped off the private jet, the cool evening breeze brushing against his face as he descended the steps. The plane had just touched down, and despite the exhaustion from his two-day business trip, his mind was already back on the things that mattered.As he reached the black luxury sedan waiting for him, his assistant, Kyle, stood by the door, phone in hand, ready to update him on everything that had transpired during his absence.“Welcome back, Mr. Sawyer,” Kyle greeted him as Dan slid into the back seat. “How was your trip?”“Productive,” Dan replied, loosening his tie. “But you know how it is—good to be back.” He settled into the plush leather seat, feeling the weight of the past two days fall off his shoulders. “So, what did I miss? Anything urgent while I was away?”Kyle glanced at his tablet, flipping through his notes as the driver pulled away from the private airstrip. "There’s been a lot of media coverage about Westbrook Industries these past two days. Your ex-wif

042. A distracted deal...

The warehouse was damp, cold, and stuffy. A single, dim bulb swung lazily from the ceiling, casting long, flickering shadows across the grimy concrete floor. The scent of gasoline, stale tobacco, and mildew mixed with the distant echo of dripping water from a corner. It was a familiar setting for Leo—negotiations that are carried out in clandestine locations.But tonight, something felt off.Leo leaned against a stack of old crates, his eyes scanning the faces of the men across from him. The Gagliano brothers stood on the other side of the room, shrouded in darkness, waiting. Their faces showed no clear emotions, and their bodies were stiff, ready for a fight if necessary. Feelings of mistrust filled the air—the kind that could deadly in just a heartbeat.Anton, Leo’s second-in-command, stood beside him, arms crossed, his eyes flicking back and forth between the Gaglianos and their men. He sensed the danger too, but Leo was distracted.His thoughts kept circling back to Chloe.He tr

043. The pressure is mounting...

The sterile, brightly lit hallways of City General Hospital were almost too quiet for Chloe’s liking. The faint hum of fluorescent lights, the soft beeping of distant monitors, and the muffled voices of nurses.Everything blended together into a dull background buzz as she made her way down the corridor toward the ICU. Her cane tapped lightly against the smooth tile floor, a steady rhythm that did little to calm her nerves.The smell of antiseptic—sharp, metallic, and sterile—hung in the air. Hospitals always made Chloe uneasy, after having to visit twice a week when with Dan to donate blood for his lover but today, that feeling was even stronger. It wasn’t just the usual discomfort that came from being in a place where people were so vulnerable; it was the weight of everything else. The company, her family, her collapsing at the press conference, and now... her parents.Her parents. She could hardly call them that.Since learning she was a Westbrook, Chloe had never met them. Ric

044. Pretend to care?

The hospital waiting room was nearly empty, bathed in the dull, sterile glow of fluorescent lights. The ticking of a clock on the wall echoed faintly in the otherwise quiet space. It was late evening, and most visitors had gone home. Only the occasional sound of a nurse’s hurried footsteps or the soft beeping of machines broke the silence.Leo sat hunched in one of the uncomfortable plastic chairs, his bruised knuckles resting on his knees. The throbbing pain from his recent run-in with the Gaglianos pulsed through his body, but his mind was far from the events of the night. His thoughts were fixed on Chloe.After the deal gone wrong with the Gaglianos, he couldn’t ignore the gnawing worry that had taken root, so he had come straight to the hospital, barely pausing to clean himself up. He wasn’t sure why, but Chloe had a way of drawing him in, making him care in ways he hadn’t expected.He ran a hand over his face, exhaustion tugging at him, but still, he waited. He had asked for C

045. In a tight spot...

Chloe stood in the sleek, glass-walled boardroom of Westbrook Industries, the early morning sun casting long shadows across the polished mahogany table. The smell of fresh coffee mingled with the faint scent of leather from the high-backed chairs surrounding her. She had arrived just before dawn, slipping into the company like a ghost. The doctors had advised her to rest, her brothers had insisted she take a break, but Chloe couldn't afford that luxury. Not now. Not with everything hanging in the balance.She stood at the head of the table, hands resting on the cool surface, feeling the weight of the room pressing in on her. Around her, the board members were murmuring in low voices, casting uneasy glances her way. She could sense their doubt, their thinly veiled skepticism. They didn’t trust her, not yet. And she collapsing yesterday after the press conference had only deepened their concerns.As Marcus ushered the last of the members into the room, Chloe took a deep breath, steel

046. Just a slip?

Dan woke to the warm, wet sensation of soft lips moving up and down his length, the pleasure slowly pulling him from the haze of sleep. His eyes fluttered shut again as a low groan escaped his throat, surrendering to the familiar sensations coursing through his body. His fingers gripped the bedsheets, his muscles tightening as the intensity built. His head fell back against the pillow, and without thinking, he moaned, “Chloe…”The moment the name left his lips, his body froze. The pleasure reached its peak, and he came hard, but the name he had whispered in the heat of the moment lingered in the air like a bomb about to go off. For a second, the room was silent. Then came the sharp, cold shift in the atmosphere.“Chloe?” Sofia’s voice was like ice. She pulled away from him, her eyes narrowing as she stood at the edge of the bed, her lips still slightly swollen from her efforts.Dan opened his eyes, cursing inwardly as he sat up, the sudden tension between them cutting through the a

047. Uncertain future...

Sofia followed the nurse down the long hallway, her heels clicking softly against the polished tile floor. Her mind was elsewhere, replaying the argument from earlier that morning and the sting of Dan saying Chloe's name during an intimate moment. She maintained a calm expression, but anger bubbled just below the surface. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Dan’s insistence on coming to the hospital today.As they reached the exam room, Sofia paused, suddenly remembering she had left her phone in her bag back in the doctor’s office. “Oh, I forgot something,” she told the nurse, turning on her heel and heading back down the hall.Her pace quickened as she neared the doctor’s office, the sound of Dan’s voice reaching her ears. She slowed; her curiosity piqued. Something in his tone was different—more urgent. She edged closer, just outside the door, her hand hesitating on the handle when she heard Dan speak.“...did you notice anything unusual about Chloe the las

048. A possible investor?

The rooftop restaurant had a quiet elegance, secluded from the hustle and noise of the city below. Dimly lit by warm, amber sconces and lanterns placed delicately along the perimeter, it offered a sense of intimacy despite its open-air design. The view of the skyline was spectacular—twinkling lights stretching across the horizon, contrasting with the deep indigo of the night sky. A soft breeze carried the faint scent of jasmine, mingling with the aroma of the gourmet dishes being served.As Chloe sat at the table, the city spread out below, she could feel the tension in her shoulders. Though she couldn’t see it, the atmosphere wrapped around her like a heavy blanket. It was as if the world was closing in, and all she could do was hold her breath and hope the walls didn’t crumble. She heard Marcus step away, giving her and Leo privacy. For a moment, she wished he hadn’t left.Leo settled back into his seat across from her. She could sense him watching her, his attention intense but

049. Confrontation..

The drive home from the hospital was unnervingly quiet. Dan kept his eyes on the road, his thoughts far away, replaying the revelation about Chloe’s pregnancy. The news felt like a heavy weight in his chest. He tried to maintain his usual calm exterior, but his mind kept drifting back to what Dr. Jackson had said.Chloe, pregnant. His child.Dan wasn’t sure how to feel—surprised, angry, confused. But more than anything, he needed answers. Why hadn’t Chloe told him? Was she planning on keeping it a secret?Beside him, Sofia sat in the passenger seat, her posture stiff, arms crossed over her chest. She hadn’t said much since leaving the hospital, just the occasional small talk about her check-up that Dan responded to absently. He had no idea that she had overheard his conversation with the doctor.As they pulled into the driveway of their house, Dan glanced at Sofia, noticing her tight expression. She hadn’t looked at him once during the entire drive, and now that they were home, she

050. A dangerous leverage...

The next morning, Chloe sat behind her desk at Westbrook Industries, her fingers brushing over the smooth, cold surface. The office was quiet, but it did little to calm the storm brewing inside her. After last night’s dinner with Leo, her mind was swirling with emotions and decisions she wasn’t ready to make. Leo’s offer, as generous as it was, hung heavily over her.She had hoped for a quiet day to think things through, but there was no such thing in her world. The board was breathing down her neck, the company was on the brink, and now, her personal life was creeping dangerously into her professional one.In an attempt to keep herself sane, she reached for her phone and opened the audio novel app she had installed on her phone. It was one of the things that kept her busy while she was with Dan, and she needed it right now. To lose herself in a fantasy world.She had learnt to navigate that app, alongside the call app so it wasn’t an issue for her without her sight. The episode she
