SusannaIt couldn’t be her. Of course it wasn’t my Liliana.That’s what I told myself at first, clutching the paper with trembling fingers, my pulse pounding so violently I thought I would split open. Liliana Grace, it read. But surely that was someone else. Some poor woman who happened to share the same name. Not my Liliana, not my sister. Not the only person I had left in this wretched world. Not the only person who I thought could stand by me. But the doubt had already rooted deep in my gut. I flipped quickly to page thirteen like the small line on the front had instructed, my fingers slipping against the thin paper. I don’t know what I expected to see. I only knew that every part of me already knew.An expanded headline stared at me in bold, mocking me. “BODY BURNT BEYOND RECOGNITION FOUND IN CITY ALLEY. IDENTIFIED AS SOCIALITE LILIANA GRACE. SUSPECT AT LARGE.”I couldn’t breathe as I read every word of that segment. I read and reread the phrases that stood out like bullet holes

SusannaWhen the door to my room opened, I knew at once that Florence was back. I didn’t even look at her at first. My stomach was already in knots from the ever present weight of humiliation that clung to me ardently these days and the sight of her, so smugly serene, was like pouring salt into the wounds I wanted to forget I had.She walked in with that same dispassionate grace, her hair pinned back with precision, her scrubs clean and fitted. She held a little metal tray in her gloved hands, the one that always carried my morning dose of pills, and when she finally spoke, it was in that monotone voice of hers. “How are you feeling today, Susanna?”I almost snarled at her, but I didn’t, because the movement of my cheeks still pulled on the raw skin there, and I had no interest in feeling like my face was about to split open again. Instead, I just stared at her, curling my lip back in a sneer that I knew made me look more beast than a woman, but what did it matter?Florence didn’t re

ConradMy mother's secretary—Teresa or Theresa or some other name I’d never bothered to learn—jumped to her feet the moment she saw me storm down the hall like a man possessed. “Sir! Director Remington, your mother is currently in a meeting. If you’ll just give me a—”I didn’t stop walking.“—minute, I’ll go in and let her know you’re here—”I think she reached out to stop me. Poor girl, she probably thought her job description included throwing herself in front of angry men. I turned my head just slightly, and the glare I gave her must have spoken volumes, because she shrank back a step like I was about to physically barrel through her.The door to my mother’s office was closed, but I didn’t knock, but threw it open hard, the brass handle slamming into the wall with a thud that was immensely satisfying.She wasn’t alone. Seated across from her was none other than Simon Hughes, her personal lapdog with a law degree. He turned at the sound of the door, brows lifted in calm surprise, an

ConradConrad“It’s been moved to another director,” he said, as if I’d misheard him the first time. “I had an early meeting with her this morning, actually. We were discussing rollout timelines, campaign design... all of that.”A cold silence hung between us. I blinked once, then again. My voice came out low, almost mechanical. “Reassigned? What are you talking about? That’s my project. I didn’t reassign it to anyone.”Jacques looked uncomfortable, and for once, it didn’t seem like an act. “Look, I’m just following the directives I get, Mr. Remington. The update came from… upstairs.”There it was again. Upstairs. How quickly those ten letters had come to represent everything I hated.“You’re telling me,” I said slowly, “that you accepted a change in leadership on one of my campaigns without even informing me?”He lifted

ConradEnough was enough.I sat at my desk, the tension in my jaw so tight I thought something might snap. The whole mess with Karah’s team still clung to me like a bad stench, and no matter how many times I replayed Leonard’s words in my head, it didn’t make the sting any better.The sheer audacity of my mother still boiled in my blood. I had worked for months to secure that deal, prepped the product line myself, and even sat through Karah’s unbearable entourage of managers and stylists with that stupidly charming smile on my face. And for what? So my mother could yank it all from under me because it didn’t fit into her masterplan?I wasn’t a boy anymore. And if I didn’t push back now, then it wasn’t just my mother I needed to be worried about. It would be everyone under me; every manager, every executive, every assistant. They would all see that Conrad Remington was a puppet, dancing to the strings of the queen upstairs.I had to act fast, before this narrative solidified and before

ConradI lowered the phone slowly, blinking at it as if it had betrayed me. Then I set it down on my desk and leaned back in my chair, staring up at the ceiling like it might have some kind of answer for me. Mother really did it. She had tanked my deal. And for what? To prove that I still danced on her strings? That even in the parts of the company she never cared about, her hand could still reach in and undo everything I worked for? The rage that bubbled up was slow but steady. Did she really want me powerless? To remind me I was nothing without her? Suddenly, my anger exploded. I picked up my phone and flung it. It landed halfway across my office with a sharp, echoing thud, but the action did nothing to quiet the fury boiling in my chest. My own mother had gone behind my back and sunk the damn deal with Karah’s team, just like that. Not because of strategy, not even because of genuine concern for the company, but because she could. Because she wanted to remind me that she c
