Elena knocked harder on Sofia's door.

“Sofie, can we talk please?”

She had been standing there for some minutes trying to get Elena to come out.

She was already dressed for work in her office wear.

She knocked again. “Sofie!”

A maid passing by stopped behind her.

“Uhm… Ma’am,” she called out, a little bit concerned.

Elena looked behind her back.

“What,” she said uninterested, turning back to the door.

“She's not in her room, she left very early this morning,” she replied gently.

Elena turned fu

    Elena knocked harder on Sofia's door.“Sofie, can we talk please?”She had been standing there for some minutes trying to get Elena to come out.She was already dressed for work in her office wear. She knocked again. “Sofie!”A maid passing by stopped behind her.“Uhm… Ma’am,” she called out, a little bit concerned.Elena looked behind her back.“What,” she said uninterested, turning back to the door.“She's not in her room, she left very early this morning,” she replied gently.Elena turned fully to her.“Did she say where she was going?” Elena asked.“No, but she took her bags with her.”Elena palmed her face and sighed.“But she had a brief chat with Mr Marcus on her way out.”Elena stared at her.“Where's Marcus?”“He left for work already.”---Marcus was in his office working on his computer when Elena barged in.He looked up.“Where's Sofie?”Marcus stared at her slightly confused.“Why are you asking me?”Elena walked farther into the room and dropped her bag onto the sofa bef

    Adrian knelt on one knee, the ring box outstretched.“Lena, will you…”“Let's break up.”The smile on Adrian's face dropped.“Wh…at?”He hadn't even said the main words completely before Elena interrupted him.She looked away then back at him.“I said, let's break up.”Adrian stood up confused.They were on a quiet bridge where couples normally come to get the city’s best view.The night breeze blew against their skin, doing less to the rising tension between them.“Hold up. Is this a joke?” he said with an unsure smile.There was a brief silence before she finally spoke.“No it's not Adrian, I'm done.”She gripped her bag tightly as she turned around and walked away from him.Adrian's feet remained stuck to the ground, the ring box in his hands as he watched her back.“Lena!”He ran after her.Elena kept walking.He finally caught onto her and held her hand.Elena turned to face him “What's all this about, Lena? Did I do something wrong?”She dragged her hands away from his grip.“D

    Lydia wasn't supposed to be watching Elena.Not yet.Her instructions had been clear.Find out who Elena has been meeting privately.But when Lydia noticed Elena leaving her office alone at 8:34 p.m., she knew the opportunity had presented itself sooner than expected.Lydia glanced at the clock on her computer.It was 8:35.Most of the employees had already left. The usually busy corridors of Rivera Corporation had grown quiet, with only a few lights still glowing across the offices.She looked toward the executive wing.Elena stepped out of her office.She had her phone in one hand and a file tucked beneath her arm. She stopped beside her desk, checked something on her phone, then slipped it into her handbag.Lydia watched from a distance.Elena wasn't dressed for another business meeting.She wasn't carrying the usual stack of documents she took when meeting clients.And she wasn't accompanied by an assistant.She was leaving alone.Lydia's eyes narrowed.She glanced back at her com

    Lydia arrived at Rivera Corporation earlier than usual.The building was only beginning to fill with employees when she stepped through the entrance, badge hanging neatly from her neck.She had been posted to Rivera Corporation only recently, officially brought in to assist the Strategic Operations team.The timing made sense on paper.The Carter Holdings partnership had increased the workload across several departments, and the company needed additional staff to help with scheduling, reports, document coordination, and communication between teams.Lydia's position was temporary.At least, that was what everyone believed.She walked toward her cubicle and placed her bag beneath the desk.Her workspace was small and unremarkable, surrounded by several others in the same department. Nothing about it suggested that she had any special access or authority.That was precisely how she wanted it.She turned on her computer and began sorting through the reports waiting for her.A few minutes

    Marcus came home late that evening.The house was quieter than usual, most of the lights already dimmed. He loosened his tie as he walked through the living room, intending to head straight upstairs.Then he noticed the garden doors were slightly open.Through the glass, he could see Sofia sitting outside.She was alone, seated near the edge of the garden with a glass of water beside her. Her attention was somewhere beyond the trees, her expression distant.Marcus hesitated.He remembered the missed calls.And the unfinished message.He had meant to respond.Work had simply swallowed the rest of his day.He stepped outside.Sofia heard the footsteps and turned.Their eyes met."You're home.""Yeah."Marcus stopped a few feet away."I saw your calls."Sofia looked away."I figured you were busy.""I was. I meant to call you back."She nodded, though there was something restrained in the movement.Marcus took a seat nearby.For a moment, neither spoke.The silence wasn't exactly uncomfo

    The next morning, Elena was already at work.Her office was quiet except for the occasional sound of pages turning as she worked through the documents waiting on her desk.She had barely touched her coffee.Her attention should have been on the reports in front of her.Instead, Adrian's question from the previous evening kept returning to her.Do you ever wonder what things would be like if circumstances had been different?Elena paused with her pen in hand.She hadn't expected the question.Not from him.And certainly not now.She leaned back slightly, staring at the document without reading it.Why had he asked?Was it simply something that had crossed his mind?Or was he beginning to sense that there was something about their history he couldn't remember?Elena's expression tightened.She didn't know.And she wasn't going to assume.She looked back down at the document and continued reading.Whatever Adrian was beginning to question, she had no intention of answering questions he h

    Sophia Vale, Adrian’s sister, ignored the greetings trailing after her as she strode toward the elevator to his office, lips pressed thin, brows knitting.The elevator opened to Daniel, attention locked on his tablet. He seemed too busy to notice anything else—and that quiet disregard only deepened

    The penthouse was quiet in the early hours, wrapped in stillness broken only by the distant hum of the city below. Elena's bedroom was a spacious, quiet retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, the lights outside casting a faint glow across the minimalist space.Elena slept calml

    Elena's thumb hovered over the call button for the third time that evening.Adrian Vale's name glowed on the screen like a ghost from a life she had buried five years ago.One call.That was all it would take to bring him back into her life. This could either save Rivera Corporation or reopen old

    ‎In a large office, the soft tapping of a laptop filled the room, mixed with the low hum of the air conditioner. The air smelled faintly of coffee and fresh paper, the scent of long work hours and unfinished reports.‎Behind the desk, Adrian Vale paused mid-keystroke, his eyes narrowing at the mess
