I paced back and forth, thinking about what had just happened in the blink of an eye. That was fast, it could have cost me my life if I hadn’t moved quickly. I don’t know where or how the figure was able to reach me.For the past few years, it’s only been threats. I have never received a call before. I must have crossed a line this time for him to actually contact me. But why does he want me to stay away from Emily? In four years of marriage, nothing like this has ever happened. Why now?He doesn’t have a problem with me but with Emily? What has she done to put her life at risk? Whoever this person is, he knows I met her at the launch. But the real question is: was he there? Did he pass by me? How did I not suspect anything? This just proves how dumb I'm for not being more wary.Where do I even start? I can’t trace the call, it came from a burner phone. I need a skilled hacker, someone who can track down this figure.The door to the room swung open, snapping me out of my thoughts. I tu

Emily I stared at the mirror, reapplying my lip gloss. I hate having dry lips, especially after lunch. I made sure to keep it subtle, and once I was done, I turned, ready to leave the restroom. As I reached for the door, a memory of Ryan pushing it open crept into my mind. I couldn’t stop imagining how he pinned me against the wall, and how I had reacted to his touch. What if something had happened between us during our marriage? Would I have reacted the same way? I couldn’t believe I was having these thoughts. I needed to bury the past. Grabbing the doorknob, I pulled it open and walked out, striding back to my office. I had stayed out of the news until this afternoon, and now, Ryan was caught up in a scandal about being gay, and somehow, I was part of it. My only offense was falling in love with him and proposing marriage in exchange for giving blood. There was no reason to drag me into this mess if I never married him. But wait, was he gay all along? Is that why he never felt

Who does he think he is? He comes into my work environment to order me around because of his son? A father who should be scolding his child and trying to settle things amicably is instead adding fuel to the fire. What a jerk he raised as a son. I’m certain that Father would have let this slide if his son had come clean and shown remorse. I will make sure he hears the recording. His friend supports whatever his son has been doing and perhaps has been aware of it all along. A knock on my door diverted my attention. Lifting my head, I saw my secretary peeking her head inside. "You have a call from your father." She informed me. I looked at the office telephone on my desk, wondering why he didn’t call my cell phone. "He seems really pissed." She added, closing the door behind her. I picked up the phone and placed it to my ear. "Hello, Father," I said, waiting to hear his tone. I'm not sure why he's angry. "What did you do to Mr. Michael?" He roared, his voice harsh. I didn’t know wha

As soon as my client left the room, I hurriedly grabbed my bag and followed behind. I needed to get to the address on time, before Anderson left. I received another text from him, stating I was the only one he was waiting for.Once outside, I hopped into the car and settled into the seat, quickly fastening my seatbelt."Where to, ma'am?" Biggy asked."The address I gave you. Take me there." I instructed."Okay, ma'am." He started the car and drove off. For some reason, my heart kept racing as we drove further.I had tried to find out who was in the car and where the person had been taken after the accident. But even the emergency responders who came to the rescue said they didn’t know what happened after the body was removed from the scene.I had spoken to Anderson about it before, and he asked me to let it go since I was trying to be discreet. But now that he had found out more, I wasn’t sure why he had investigated further."We have arrived, ma'am." Biggy informed me. I looked aroun

"What do you think I should do? I can’t leave her here like this, knowing I’m the cause of all this. I need to find out what happened."I was determined to uncover the truth. It would feel selfish to walk away without understanding what led to this. It’s clear that I was the target that day, there’s no way she would have driven onto the highway without seeing the truck heading for the car.I caught a glimpse of Anderson watching me, his arms folded across his chest."How sure are you she’s here because of you? I didn’t look into this to make you blame yourself." He said, almost in a whisper.I sighed, understanding his point. He is right, I might be overreacting, blaming myself for something beyond my control. I needed to take things slowly.I felt a hand on my shoulder, and when I looked up, I met Anderson's eyes."We don’t have much time. Let’s go. I promise to dig deeper and find out who’s behind this. If it has anything to do with you, I will let you know." His words felt like an

RyanI sat across from the sheriff, waiting as my manager signed the papers presented to him. They had agreed to carry out further investigations and try to find out who was responsible for the damage. While I doubted they would find anything, it was better for them to try than do nothing.I had come to the station after receiving my X-ray results, which thankfully showed no internal injuries. The doctor had prescribed some medication to help relieve the pain. Alex, always looking out for me, had driven me to the station to meet with my manager.Once my manager finished signing, he slid the papers across the desk to the sheriff, dropping the pen on top. The sheriff picked up the documents and added his signature."That’s all." The sheriff said. "You are free to go. If we find anything about the car, we will make sure to contact you.""Alright, we will be on our way then. I hope the culprit is caught soon." I replied, rising from the chair to leave.My manager followed behind as we wal

Nothing made sense to me. If he’s a computer genius and a hacker, why aren’t there any pictures of him from school on his Instagram page? He’s got over twenty million followers, but it’s all just images of him with clients. He doesn’t seem like the type who has friends or even keeps them.Does he keep his personal life completely out of the media? His profile just says he’s a businessman. How am I supposed to believe he’s a genius based on one old photo? Was he involved in the hack on the hospital server the day my divorce went through?Damn it, I barely know anything about him. How am I supposed to confirm if he’s really a hacker? A single picture doesn’t prove anything."Boss, you should believe it," Jasper interrupted, breaking my train of thought. "Stop having doubts. I’m sure he’s the one who hacked the server."I looked at him, trying to hide my frustration. "It’s just a picture, Jasper. How do I believe he’s a genius based on that?"He paused, considering my words. "I get it, b

EmilyReaching for my phone, I marched out of my office. The employees were gathered in the reception area, as I had instructed my secretary to assemble everyone for a public announcement. Word had spread since I last spoke to the managers, and I was sure many had been eagerly awaiting this moment.It wasn't a great day for me, though. While it might be for them after this announcement, I felt weighed down by what I’d discovered yesterday. The conversation I overheard from Anderson gnawed at me. I still didn’t know who my father had ordered to be killed or why the woman at the hospital had run into the truck in my place. The thoughts consumed me, filling me with pain.I remembered standing near the balcony when my father caught me. His presence had shaken me to my core, and the expression on his face was terrifying. I had to muster the courage to speak, trying not to reveal how nervous I was in front of him.Before he could ask if I had been eavesdropping, I blurted out the last state

I turned to the stairs, striding back to the reception, having made up my mind to contact Anderson. Maybe I had forgotten the room number and entered the wrong room. I'm skeptical I did, it was the same room we had entered yesterday. There’s no way I forgot; it was the fifth room on the right, and that’s where I had stopped.I couldn’t go to the reception and ask; she would still tell me there’s no one with that name at the hospital. This is a big private hospital in the country, there’s no way her family moved her out.I pushed the thought aside, making my way out of the hospital when I halted. Alex came to mind; he works at the hospital, so potentially I could ask him.The last time I was here to donate blood, I was told he was out of the country. Even on the day of the divorce, it was a different doctor who attended to Zara. I'm not sure if he’s back. I will only find out when I ask.Turning to the receptionist's desk, I marched toward her. It was the same lady from yesterday. Thin

Ryan "It's been over an hour. Don’t you think you should go to the hospital? You heard what Dr. Alex said." Jasper reminded me, but I acted oblivious and focused on work. I was busy on my laptop, pressing on the print button, I stood up and walked over to the printer. I waited for the papers to come out before collecting them. I have had enough trouble because of her, and I don’t want to interfere any further. The last time she lied about apologizing to Emily but didn’t. Now she got into a fight with her simply because she went there to see Alex. It’s good that Emily hit her. Maybe next time she will learn not to cross her line. But come to think of it, why was Emily at the hospital? She didn’t just go there to see Alex. If she did, for what? They are not friends. The printer stopped, and the papers were out. I gathered them and returned to my desk, handing them over to my assistant. "Give these to the secretary and ask her to distribute them to each department." I ordered, tur
