The doctors reluctantly discharged Mrs Valerie. They warned her it was too soon and she needed more rest but she insisted on leaving and the doctors didn't have a choice.

Mrs Valerie stole glances at Anthony as she sat beside her in the car.

"Anthony, what did the doctors say? When will you be able to stand again?" Mrs Valerie asked gently.

"If I take my rejuvenation seriously, I should be able to walk within months." Anthony explained staring out the window.

His mind was elsewhere.

" That's good news." Mrs Valerie gushed. "Maybe I and Avery could accompany you to therapy next time"

When he heard her name, something deep inside of him sank. He inhaled slowly, the weight of emotion pressing down on him.

He never cared before. Never hesitated to punish anyone who crossed him. But Avery… she was different, and it unsettled him.

"Whatever mum." He muttered in a flat tone.

Mrs Valerie got the message. He didn't want to discuss further. She sighed clasping her hand on her thigh and sta

    The word taste awful as she looks back to Collins, seeing he also has gut written on his face as he stared at her."Do you think it easy losing my baby, the only reason that Kept me going when I Lost my mom." Avery muttered.She touched her flat belly like she can still feel her baby. And a small smile appear on her face before she knew it.Anthony will never get my forgiveness, not after I Lost the only hope letting me living." she said, walking pass Collins.Collins touch his chest the moment he noticed Avery has gone far enough not to see him."What wrong with those two." he breathe out, returning to his office.Meanwhile Lydia and Cole came out from they hiding spot."She thinks Anthony is the one behind her miscarriage." Cole smirk, resting his head on the wall.Lydia sighed, twisting her hair with her index fingers."What if she found out she doesn't have a womb again, Lydia. How will she react." Cole laughed, his laughter already annoying Lydia.Lydia face him, calming her self

    The moment he reached, his legs began heavy, his hands dropped and his eyes already wanting to pup out.Avery freely laughs with an employee.A guy with a black hair, his hands resting on her shoulder while she ate from the chips and laughed.His hands grab the wall, holding onto it tighter so as to not lose control.Who's that bastard, making her smile,"his eyes stayed glued to the guy besides Avery.Nobody is supposed to make her smile, only him has the right to do that."He brought out his phone, immediately dialing the fish number and the line connected.Sir what ca..Look into the CCTV footage and get the information of the guy sitting beside Avery."he interrupts fish.Fire him, he shouldn't be seen here tomorrow."he muttered, almost screaming as the laughter of Avery was still coming.We can't do anything sir, this is not our company,"Fish explained.Then do something, I don't want him besides her."he finally yelled, making all eyes turn to him.Anthony?Avery kept the bowl of c

    Anthony noticed her before she reached him.Freya always moved like she expected space to open for her, and it usually did. She crossed the lobby with calm confidence, her heels was measured,and her posture relaxed. Too relaxed. Like she had already planned this moment.“Anthony,” she said when she reached him. “Do you have a second?”He didn’t smile. “If this is about Project Atlas, talk to Avery.”Her lips curved slightly. “I was hoping for something less formal.”That was the first strike. Subtle and casual. She stepped closer, not invading his space, just near enough to be felt. Anthony resisted the instinct to step back. He wouldn’t give her that.“You shouldn’t be here,” he said.Freya tilted her head. “I work here.”“You know what I mean.”She studied him for a moment, as if weighing something. “You’re protective,” she said softly. “Of her.”Anthony’s jaw tightened. “Careful.”She smiled. “I am being careful.”They stood there, tension thickening in the air. People passed by,

    The alert came just before noon.Avery was in a mid-conversation with Collins when her phone buzzed again, once, sharp and insistent. She glanced at the screen, and her expression changed instantly.“What is it?” Collins asked.“Project Atlas,” Avery said. “Something’s wrong.”They moved quickly, crossing the floor toward the main operations room. Screens lined the walls, normally steady with controlled data flows. Now one of them was flashing red.A junior analyst stood frozen, his eyes was wide. “The deployment timeline shifted overnight. Core files were altered. If this goes live like this…”“It won’t,” Avery said calmly.She stepped forward, scanning the data herself. The sabotage was clean. Too clean. Key parameters had been adjusted just enough to destabilize the project after launch, not before. Enough to make leadership look careless, and enough to damage trust.Her fingers tightened at her side.“They wanted this to explode publicly,” Collins muttered.Avery nodded. “Quiet

    Avery didn’t waste time once Collins returned with his findings. She stood beside him at the table with her arms folded, and her eyes moving quickly over the data as he spoke.“They’re rerouting money through secondary vendors,” Collins said. “Nothing big enough to trigger alarms, but consistent. It’s meant to look like background noise.”Avery nodded. “Background noise adds up.”She reached for a pen and marked several entries. “Freeze these accounts. Quietly. I don’t want anyone panicking yet.”Collins hesitated. “If they notice…”“They will,” Avery cut in. “I want them to.”Her tone wasn’t reckless. It was controlled and confident.Collins studied her for a moment, then nodded. “Alright. I’ll loop in compliance and keep it internal.”As he stepped away to make the calls, Taylor walked in with coffee in her hand, completely unaware of the tension circling the room.“So,” Taylor said, glancing between the screens, “either you’re solving a corporate crime or planning world dominati

    Freya stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blouse with practiced ease. Nothing about her movements was rushed. Everything was deliberate. Calm on the surface and calculated underneath.She liked knowing she looked composed. Because It gave her power.“They’re watching you,” Lydia said from the couch, her tone sounds lazy but her eyes were alert. “Especially Avery.”Freya smiled faintly. “She always watches. That’s why she’s dangerous.”“And why she needs to be distracted,” Lydia replied. “Avery thinks too clearly when she’s calm.”Freya turned from the mirror. “Then we don’t let her stay calm.”Lydia leaned forward, elbows on her knees. “Anthony is the crack. He’s the weakness she pretends she doesn’t have.”Freya’s smile sharpened. She had noticed it too, the way Anthony watched Avery when he thought no one saw. The tension he carried around her. The restraint that looked too much like desire.“I won’t chase him,” Freya said lightly. “That would be obvious.”“Of course,” Lydia
