“Dern!” Fred slammed the door, walking too fast, he sat in his office, staring blankly at the glass wall. The city lights blurred through the tinted windows, but his thoughts weren’t on the skyline. They were back in the hallway.

Back on her face. Back on the moment her scent had hit him.

It was her. He was sure of it now. The girl from that night, the one who had left before he could even see her properly. Her voice, her scent, the way she had tried to pull away from him, he knew it like he knew his own name.

He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. Maybe he was mistaken again, but he knew himself so well not to recognise little details. None of it made sense. Why would she be here, scrubbing floors in his company? And why was he… obsessed?

A knock came on the door. Noah popped his head in, smiling. "You look like you saw a ghost. Or maybe the ghost saw you."

Fred gave him a sharp look. "Shut up and get in here."

Noah laughed and walked in, flopping down on the couch a

    Fred’s office was quiet that afternoon. The only sound was the clock ticking on the wall. “This better not be what I think it is.” Fred said, like he was talking to himself. His face was buried into the paper he held. His eyes repeatedly moving from side to side as he read slowly. Fred sat behind his large desk, papers neatly scattered in front of him. His laptop screen glowed, but his eyes weren’t on it.He had been uneasy for weeks. Deals were being closed, deals that he didn’t remember signing. Clients were acting strange, smiling at him like he had promised them things he never heard of. At first, he thought it was a mistake, or maybe his secretary misplaced documents. But then he found a contract on his desk with his signature on it.His signature? Except it wasn’t his.The writing looked like his, but he knew his own hand, he couldn’t remember writing those. And it only ment one thing, someone had copied it.His stomach turned. His face lifted up like he had remembered some

    “Fred, darling!” Tiana’s voice was bright and cheerful as she walked in.It had been months since Fred last invited her to his house, and she was more than excited. She wore a short, shiny red gown that hugged her hips and waist like a second skin. The heels on her feet clicked loudly on the tiled floor as she walked excitedly towards him, her arms were wide, like she was ready for a big hug.But Fred didn’t open his arms.He stretched out his right hand like he wanted a handshake, keeping her at a distance.Tiana stopped in her tracks, her smile in her lips faded.“Fred…” she said softly, her hands moving to steady her hair, her eyes scanning his face like she was searching. She looked like she was trying to read his mind, looking for an explanation for the sudden coldness.Fred knew exactly what he had done, and he could feel the sting of embarrassment settling on her face. But he didn’t take back his gesture.“We need to talk,” he said quietly, his voice calm but firm.“You alrea

    The room had been quiet since Mia stormed out, leaving Fred and Ana alone. The silence wasn’t awkward, it was thick with unspoken emotions, almost like the air itself was holding its breath.Fred’s hands were still wrapped firmly around her waist, keeping her close like he was afraid she might disappear if he let go. Her belly button pressed lightly against him, and his warm palms cupped her face. He kept kissing her cheek again and again, almost in a rush, like each kiss was a promise… or a way to reassure her that this moment was real.Ana’s eyes slowly closed as she leaned into him. Who would have thought, who would have thought that a man like Fred could be so soft and vulnerable. She inhaled deeply, letting his scent fill her lungs, a mixture of soap, his cologne, and something uniquely him. Her lips curved into a small, content smile.This… this can’t be real, she thought. She was in the arms of the man she had dreamed about for so long. The man she thought she had lost an

    “I asked a question… and for all fact… I demand an answer right now.” Fred’s voice cut through the air, his voice was like a sharp knife. The room suddenly became silent. So quiet that even the ticking of the wall clock felt loud. You could almost hear a pin drop. Ana’s body stiffened. She took two small steps back. Her fingers curled into tight fists as if holding something in. Fred’s eyes slowly moved to Mia. His tone was calm but heavy. “I suppose you are a close friend to Ana?” he asked Mia, but he moved back to Ana’s face. Ana stood so still with her eyes fixed on the floor tiles like she was counting them. “I heard you clearly from the doorway,” Fred continued, his voice deepening. “And I am certain of what I heard. Ana… you have my child growing in you, right?” Ana’s lips trembled. She didn’t answer, she couldn't answer. “Ye… y… yes,” Mia’s voice broke the silence. “Mia,” Ana whispered from where she stood, her voice weak. She reached out to hold Mia’s arm, but Mia s

    “I said I’m only here to see my friend, silly!” Mia shouted, folding her arms and raising one brow at the uniformed security man standing tall in front of the Norks Mansion gate.The man, older and serious-looking, held his ground politely. “Ma’am, I understand, but this is private property. You can’t just walk in. Please call the person who invited you.”Mia rolled her eyes dramatically. “You think I climbed all the way here just for sightseeing? I said I know someone in this house. Just let me in!”“I’m only following instructions, ma’am. Without a proper call or name confirmation, I can’t let anyone through,” the security man replied calmly, but there was a trace of nervousness in his voice. Mia was loud, and people were beginning to look.From the third-floor window of the mansion, Ana peeked through the curtain. She had heard the loud voice from upstairs and instantly recognized it, it was Mia. Her heart jumped.“Oh no…” Ana whispered, stepping away from the window. She grabbed t

    Mia gripped the silver tray tightly against her chest as she stood near the back of the VIP lounge, her breath caught somewhere between shock and confusion. The soft hum of music and laughter filled the air, but all she could hear was the pounding of her own heartbeat.Her eyes were still locked on the dim hallway that Miles and Tiana had disappeared into just a few minutes ago. Her mind kept replaying the scene, Tiana leaning in close, her hand caressing the man's jawline, and then pulling him toward the restroom with a sly, flirty smile. The man hadn’t even resisted. In fact, he looked pleased. He was comfortable.Mia blinked hard, trying to process everything.“Unbelievable…” she whispered under her breath. “Fred’s fiancée? With his own brother?”Her palms were sweaty against the metal tray, and her knuckles turned pale from gripping too tightly. She set the tray down on a nearby table before she dropped it from the nerves crawling up her arms.Tiana’s image wouldn’t leave her h
