Chapter: Please say no.Amelia“I didn’t come for an answer, Amelia.” Nathiel glanced at me briefly before returning his gaze to the road.I shifted in my seat. “Then why did you come?”He shrugged. “You know, maybe ’cause you ignored my chats… and calls. I also thought someone would be waiting for a taxi, and I was free.”I rolled my eyes and leaned into the seat, crossing my arms over my chest.At this point, I was trying to be tough, but my lips betrayed me, curving into a small smile.We settled into comfortable silence.Slowly, my eyelids grew heavy. I blinked several times, trying to keep my eyes open, but before I knew it, my head slowly tipped against the headrest. I’d worked so much, I hadn’t realized how tired I was.My eyes finally closed. The engine's steady hum faded into the background as sleep pulled me under.Something shifted beneath me.I stirred slightly, barely awake, when I felt arms snake beneath my body. My brows furrowed as I was lifted from the seat.For a moment, I was too groggy to

Chapter: How convenient.Alexander “She isn’t dead yet.” My gaze immediately snapped to her, because what could I say? Being an older brother sometimes meant covering up your younger sister’s murder. “What?” “Mother, she isn’t dead yet. Mission failed, yeah? Cause what were you thinking when you threatened her?” she spat, folding her hands across her chest. I returned my gaze to the folder in front of me. I had no intention of explaining myself to her, nor did I have the patience to argue about it. “If you’re done, leave. I don’t have time for this.” I dismissed her. She scoffed, stood, and walked towards me, her unnecessarily high heels clicking against the tiled floor. She waved a paper towards me, and I grabbed it, briefly going through the contents. I glanced up at her. “You quit?” “Yes, I resigned.” She nodded. “I’m done. Six months are over. Remember, our dare? You said I couldn’t survive without the Hayes name.” “I didn’t mean it,” I interjected. “We were both angry at the time.” “Y

Chapter: Fallout.Amelia New articles kept appearing every minute, each with a different headline but the same terrifying message. “Cavelle CEO; Emily Harrison has a warrant issued for her arrest” My heart dropped. I slipped my phone into my pocket and headed towards Mr. Charles’s office. There was no point feeding my eyes with more articles when reality was already unfolding around me. The office was a mess. Employees hurried past me, phones rang nonstop, and voices overlapped as everyone tried to make sense of what was happening. He sat in his chair behind his desk, his fingers massaging his temple, a frown marring his face. He looked weary, tired. I couldn’t blame him after the news of the arrest warrant got out. Shareholders started pulling out, the stock price had fallen by up to forty percent, and contracts were getting cancelled. Some employees even went as far as quitting… He raised his head slightly and sighed when he saw me. “All good?” he asked. I nodded, and he didn’t seem convinced.

Chapter: Cavelle.“What are you doing here?” I demanded. He stepped closer, his hands clenching into fists beside him. My body stiffened. My chest twisted painfully, a rush of hurt and anger surged through me, hot and immediate. This man I had loved so deeply had betrayed me, I still hadn’t processed it, and now he was standing in front of me again. He took another step forward but I stood my ground, refusing to let him see how uneasy his presence made me. “I said, what are you doing here?” His hands shot out, I flinched, my entire body jerking instinctively as his fingers wrapped around my arm in a chokehold. My heart slammed against my chest as he pulled me closer. I struggled against him but his grip only tightened. “What, did I ruin something?” he spat. I stared at him, my brows drawing together in confusion. “What are you talking about?” He let me go with a jerk and ran his fingers through his hair. I stumbled backward against the sink before straightening. “We haven’t been apar

Chapter: Nathiel brooks.Amelia. Thank God I’d have the weekend to myself. After all the chaos that had happened the previous week, I desperately needed this break.All I wanted was lasagna, my favourite show, and absolutely no human interaction.I leaned against my pillows, my laptop propped on my thigh, a bowl in one hand.Just then, my phone buzzed. I rolled my eyes and let out a tired sigh. Could I not have a peaceful day without someone bothering me? I picked it up and glanced at the screen.‘Nathiel Brooks’My lips curled into a small smile. After coming back to Westhaven after seven years abroad, running into him so suddenly had been the last thing I’d expected—and what did I do? I cried. I visibly cringed at the memory.“Can I take you out?” it read. I thought about it for a while before replying.“Yes, that would be great. We have a lot to catch up on, and I also want to apologize for dumping my problems on you yesterday.”I nodded, satisfied with my answer. After he’d offered to take me home, I end

Chapter: Bestfriend?Amelia “What are you talking about?” Ryan asked, disbelief written all over his face. “Exactly what I said,” I retorted, giving my attention to Clara again. I pointed towards the screen, my fingers trembling slightly. “Where did you get this? These are obviously mine. My drawings, my concept, and my ideas.” A stunned silence fell over the room. Clara’s hands tightened around Sofie’s. Her lower lip trembled, and she looked at me with wide, round eyes, easily pulling off the look of the victim. “I don’t know why you’d think that I’d steal from you, Amelia,” she said softly. “But these aren’t yours. I spent nights putting this together because I didn’t want to be a burden on your team… You’re clearly mistaken.” A bitter laugh escaped me. “Mistaken?” I pushed my chair back and stood, the legs scraping against the floor. “I could never mistake my own work.” I went to speak again, but Ethan beat me to it. “Still, how can you be so sure Clara stole your work?” He rubbed his temple.
