Do not mistake this scene for romance.****The coldness in the boardroom was accompanied by silence. The long glass table gleamed under the overhead lights, but the reminder of failure lingers.Seated at the head of the table is Mason, alone in the room he had always dreamed of ruling. To have everything under his control. But here he was, with his suit wrinkled, his tie hanging loose around his neck like a noose he couldn't decide whether to tighten or rip off. His shirt was slightly untucked, his hair disheveled as if he'd run his hand through it a hundred times too many. Sweat clung to his brow, not from heat, but from stress, rage, and a boiling sense of defeat.He leaned forward in the leather chair, elbows on the table, knuckles white from his tightly clenched fists. His jaw ticked. His eyes, red-rimmed and dark with exhaustion as he stared into space

  Mason stood in the middle of his office, supporting his weight with his palms resting on the table. He hung his head with his breath getting ragged by the passing seconds. The morning was chaotic, transferring aggression onto the employees, putting everyone on edge, so no one dared approach him. He grunted loudly and angrily pushed the table away as he stood straight. “ Fuck,” he cursed under his breath, clenching his jaw as he continued pacing. “ She's the one, she has to be the one,” he muttered in frustration, unable to wrap his head around something causing him so much restlessness. How Eloise got his signature. How Eloise changed that much within a few days. What exactly was going on? He began tapping his fingers, running his hands through his hair repeatedly till the secretary leaned into the room with barely half of her body inside, as if afraid she might be thrown something. “ She's here, si…,” “ Get her here,” his tensed voice cut her short and she immediately pulled o

  The moment Antonio saw her, half naked, trembling, soaked in silent tears—something primal snapped inside him. When he looked back at Luther, it wasn't a man standing there anymore, it was wrath in human form. A growl tore from his throat as he charged across the room like a storm unchained. Luther's smirk hadn't faded before Antonio's fist slammed into his jaw with a sickening crack that echoed off the walls. Luther flew backward, knocking into the glass table with a crash. Blood spurted from his mouth as he groaned, looking dazed. “ Don't move,” Antonio snarled, stalking forward like death itself, causing Luther to tremble. “ Breath wrong, and I'll shatter your skull.” Ghost stood by the door with his eyes lowered and his jaw clenched. Luther coughed, spitting out blood. “ You. You can't touch me,” he shook his head, “ you know who I…,” Another punch silenced him, this time to the ribs, followed by another one to the stomach that had Luther screaming in agony. Anto

  Eloise’s breath trembled as the room spun violently, her head throbbed as if drums were pounding behind her eyes. Her limbs felt like wet sand, heavy and useless. She could move, but barely, as if her strength had been siphoned out of her body. She tried to wriggle out of his arms when Luther scooped her off the floor and placed her on the couch. He chuckled at her attempt, finding her adorable as she looked like a baby trying to move. “ Don't fight it, darling, the drug is powerful, the more you fight it, the more paralyzed you'd feel.” Eloise opened her mouth to scream, but all that came out was a weak, broken sound like a whimper, muffled by the wind. She felt her back land on the couch and she immediately moved, wanting to get away desperately. The moment she saw that he didn't take a sip of his water, she knew right then that he'd drugged her. She pushed herself as hard as she could, not minding if she'd fall back on the floor, as long as she'd get away from him. Luth

  “ What's going on? Is Eloise going to be okay?” Laera asked Oliver who stood by her side, his fingers dialing contacts, his face tightened with seriousness. He stepped a little further away to receive another call. The moment Antonio rushed out of the company at the mention of Luther’s name, panic set in. And the fact that no one was saying anything only deepened her fear. After several calls with someone she doesn't know, Oliver finally turned to her, stepping closer with his eyes fixed on her. He stopped just in front of her and exhaled, seeing her face contorted with fear and worries shows how close she was with Eloise. Seems they are best of friends. “ Calm down Laera, Eloise would be fine, Antonio would be there anytime soon,” “ Why don't we head there also, what if..what would happen to Eloise…if…if Antonio didn't get there on time?” Oliver's face dropped. She saw him swallow and his eyes darting. Laera's palm got more sweaty and her heart skipped so hard. “ Say someth

  Eloise checked the address of the files one more time before looking at the company's, confirming she was at the right place before stepping inside the building. With her heels clinking against the tiled floor, she approached the receptionist with the files clutched to her side. “ Hi,” Eloise greeted as soon as she got to her desk, “ Hi Miss…?” “ Eloise Stewart, I'm here to…,” “ Was expecting you, Miss Eloise,” the bobbed hair receptionist quickly said, with a smile that looked so harmless and polite, “ take,” she gave her a pass. Eloise slowly reached out, furrowing her brow as she collected it from her. “ Please head to the last floor, he's waiting for you there,” she said, still wearing her smile. Hesitating not to ask a question, Eloise nodded and muttered a ‘ thank you ‘ before heading for the elevator. ‘ Who exactly am I meeting?’ She asked in her mind as she stood alone in the elevator, she took another look at the files. Mary hadn't told her who she was meeting and wh
