Chapter Twenty-One

MARCUSI thought nothing on earth would be able to spoil my mood that day, until I walked into the board meeting and heard the terrible news. “And there’s no way of turning this around?” I asked, a cold sweat breaking out across my forehead despite the air conditioning. Looking at the numbers, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Reynard Tech was on the brink of bankruptcy, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. We’d lost another investor, and it looked like we were going to lose even more. The reality of our situation was starting to settle in, and I felt like the walls were closing in on me. “I’m afraid this is it, Marcus,” Mr. Jones said. He was one of the senior board members, and the oldest person in the room. He’d been with the company since the days of my father being in charge, and he was one of the few men I actually respected. “But surely there must be something we can do,” I said. “I mean we can’t just fold our hands and give up, right? This company has s

Chapter Twenty-Two

I love my job. I realise that every few people get to actually say that and mean it, but I do. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as doing something you love for a living, and knowing that you’re actually good at it. Social media was never my thing, and I hated the idea of people being influencers, when the only ‘product’ they’re marketing is themselves. But when there’s an actual product to sell, I’m your girl. Right from high school, I always knew that I wanted to work in marketing. So everything I ever did was to try and become somebody in that field. My marriage to Marcus had put a stop to my career for a while, but now I was back and ready to make a name for myself.Rachel’s friend was the one who introduced me to my boss, Joanna. The company was called Fluxx Marketing, and we mostly dealt with luxury brands by running ad campaigns for them, hosting events and marketing their products to a wider audience. It was the perfect job for me, and I could do it with the full knowledge

Chapter Twenty-Three

MARCUSPeople could be so ungrateful. After everything I’d done for Reynard Tech., after devoting my entire life to making that company a success and building good relationships with every single employee, they still turned around and stabbed me in the back as soon as they found out how bad things had gotten. Damn fucking traitors. I sat in my study and stared at the dozens of resignation emails from workers in every department. Our factories in Texas, Shanghai and Washington had to be temporarily shut down, because there just weren’t enough workers to keep them running anymore. Qualcomm were also increasing their charges per chip, and it just didn’t seem possible to weather this storm anymore. “Fuck!” I groaned, shoving my computer aside and staring up at the ceiling. I’d done everything I could to keep us alive, but it just wasn’t working. After sacking 50% of our employees, another 20% decided to resign voluntarily. That would have been a good thing, except for the fact that ev

Chapter Twenty-Four

“So, how long are we going to be in Paris for?” Rachel asked, practically bouncing in her seat.“A week at most,” I replied. “Anything more than that, and I’ll be paying out of my pocket.”We were sitting in a secluded booth at an Italian restaurant, having the most amazing pasta I’d tasted in years. The bottle of champagne we’d opened to celebrate my promotion was almost entirely empty now, and I was already thinking about ordering another one. Joanna wasn’t coming to the office tomorrow, so I also wasn’t obligated to come in. I could just kick up my feet on the couch and watch reruns of The Office all day long. “Well, I don’t know about you,” Rachel said, “but I plan on staying an extra week. There’s no way I’m going to Paris and leaving in just one week. It’s not enough.”“I’m definitely not going to wait for you,” I said. “Unlike you, I don’t have flexible working hours.”“You know you could afford to retire early, right?” she said, twirling her pasta around her fork. “I mean I’v

Chapter Twenty-Five

I was running in the middle of the street, desperately trying to get away from something that was chasing me in the dark. I could hear its growls, and feel its sickening breath on my neck. But no matter how fast I tried to run, the shadow kept getting closer and closer. “You’re mine,” a cold voice whispered. “No matter where you go or where you try to hide, I will always find you. And you’re never going to get rid of me, no matter how hard you try.”I was screaming at the top of my lungs, desperately calling out for help. But no one was coming to get me. I was all alone, and sooner or later it was going to get me. A sharp pain suddenly pierced my ribs, and I collapsed to the ground as the darkness descended on me, and I heard Marcus laughing through the shadows. “I’ve got you now,” he whispered. “Nowhere to run anymore, little dove.”I screamed for my life, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up drenched in sweat, screaming while Rachel held me down and whispered soothing words

Chapter Twenty-Six

MARCUSIt was the waiting that killed me. Just sitting there and not knowing what was going on, while my demons ran freely in my head and made me question every decision I’d ever made, that was the brutal part. My hands were covered in blood, and even my shirt was stained with Emily’s blood from when I carried her straight to the hospital. I didn’t even want to look at that, because the guilt was eating up at me from the inside. I was sitting outside the OR, unable to look at anyone who walked past me. The only time I would look up was when the doors to the theatre swung open, and my heart would skip a beat as I braced myself for the inevitable. But then a nurse would come scurrying past with a worried expression on her face, and I would sink into depression once again. It was all my fault. Why couldn’t I just learn to control my anger? Why did I have to let the darkness take over? I knew it was wrong even in the moment, but I just couldn’t stop myself. No matter how badly I scream

Chapter Twenty-Seven

"So, do you think Thanos was right?""Huh?""In wiping out half of all life on earth, do you think his actions were justified?""Chris, you can't keep asking me hypothetical questions like this," I said. "We're supposed to be having a fun evening.""We are," he chuckled, placing his hand on my knee gently before quickly pulling it away. "I just want to get an idea of how your mind works."We were sitting on a bench in Hyde Park, eating our burritos and enjoying the rare warmth that spring brought. After weeks of rainfall, the sun was finally out, and it felt nice to just sit there and allow the sunlight to heat us up. “Well,” I said, “I don’t exactly agree with his methods. But in a way, he was right. What I would have liked to see from him would be a smarter choice, like choosing to rid the universe of evil entirely. If he had done that, then he would have ensured that overpopulation was fixed while also bringing about the peace that he thought he would achieve.”For a moment, Chris

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Sometimes, you don’t realise how little decisions can change your entire life. Looking back now, I sometimes wonder how an insignificant decision could suddenly set your life down an entirely different path. It started from the moment Rachel and I arrived at the airport. As soon as we walked into the lounge, we noticed a French couple arguing. Rachel immediately turned to face me, and we rolled our eyes. We sat as far away from them as possible, because we did not need to be a part of this drama. From what I could loosely tell from my abysmal French, the man had cheated on her with her friend, and she was breaking up with him after finding out just now. The boyfriend meanwhile was trying to plead with her and beg for her forgiveness, but she just wasn’t buying it.“I’d hate to be them right now,” Rachel said, glancing sideways at the couple. “Imagine having to fly with a partner who you just figured out is cheating on you.”“He seems like an asshole,” I said. “I despise men who cheat

Chapter Twenty-Nine

ETHANA wise man once said that life was a collection of tiny, insignificant moments that would ultimately amount to the story of someone’s life. It wasn’t some sort of grand story that would inspire a generation. Just the simple, everyday things that stood out to you. And that’s what I always believed. My life could ultimately be boiled down to a few significant moments; at first, I wouldn’t even know that they were going to stand out. But then, thanks to the gift of hindsight, I would look back and realise that that single moment was a defining moment in my life. One such moment was the first day I saw Olivia. From the first moment I laid eyes on her, I knew that this wasn’t like any other woman I’d ever met. Something about her stood out, like a single rose blooming in a field of thorns. I don’t know what exactly drew my attention to her, but from the moment I saw her standing across the dance floor, I felt something shift inside me. It was as if something slotted into place, a

Chapter Thirty

Paris was amazing. Something about the city just felt so...alive. You could feel it in the air, hear it in the music from street performers who set up shop along all the tourist attractions. You could smell it in the bakeries, with freshly baked bread every morning that made my mouth water. Waking up every morning and heading to the hotel where the event was holding always felt so soothing as I wished I could just sit there and have a nice cup of coffee with some fresh bread, some cheese, and the perfect music playing in the background. Rachel and I still hadn't gotten an opportunity to do all the things we planned on doing. I was always busy, working from early in the morning until late at night. Thankfully she'd met a French guy on her very first day at a restaurant, and he was keeping her busy. I, on the other hand, was a different kind of busy. I usually worked well with event planners and party managers, but something about the French crew was just so infuriating. They outrigh
