“What’s going on here?”

Silas’ voice cut through the room with quiet authority. Neither of them answered immediately. Raphina stood frozen, the brown envelope still pressed tightly against her chest. Her heartbeat was so loud she was certain both men could hear it.

Victor was the first to recover. He released his hands from Raphina's shoulders and chuckled lightly, nothing serious, Mr Croft. He shook his head with an amused smile.

    “What’s going on here?”Silas’ voice cut through the room with quiet authority. Neither of them answered immediately. Raphina stood frozen, the brown envelope still pressed tightly against her chest. Her heartbeat was so loud she was certain both men could hear it.Victor was the first to recover. He released his hands from Raphina's shoulders and chuckled lightly, nothing serious, Mr Croft. He shook his head with an amused smile.“Miss Vance startled herself when the lights flickered. I found her standing in the dark looking like she had seen a ghost.”He looked at Raphina with a practiced concern. I was only telling her she should come to the archives alone. This place can be unsettling.Silas didn’t smile. His expression remained unreadable as his eyes settled on Raphina. “Is that true?”Raphina opened her mouth and no words came. She wasn’t a convincing liar and she wasn’t sure telling the truth right now was safe either. Victor’s warning still echoed in her ears.“You have made a

    The following morning, Croft Holdings Architecture Group stores to life as usual.No one looking at the gleaming glass tower would have ever guessed that beneath its polished reputation, cracks had begun to form. Raphina arrived just before eight, balancing a cup of coffee in one hand and a tube of revised blueprints in the other.The receptionist smiled, “Morning, Miss Vance.”“Morning” as Raphina stepped into the elevator, two senior architects entered behind her. Their conversation stopped abruptly.“Good morning,” Raphina said politely.“Morning, one replied the other merely nodded.” When the elevator door opened, they walked away without any word. Raphina sighed, she had expected the attention after yesterday’s presentation. She just didn’t expect it to feel so….isolating.By midmorning, Silas called an executive meeting. The boardroom fell silent as he entered. He placed three financial report on the table.“We have a problem.”Every executive straightened, Silas wasn’t a man wh

    Monday, 7:15 p.m. Croft Holdings Architecture Group had begun to empty. The cheerful conversations that filled the office during the day faded one by one as the employees packed their bags and headed home. The computer monitor went dark, chairs slid beneath desks, and the hum of printers slowly disappeared.Raphina remained at her workstation. A fresh cup of coffee sat untouched beside her laptop as she carefully reviewed the revised calculations for the Eclipse Towers project. Her promotion hadn’t been announced but everyone knew something had changed.For the first time since joining the company, senior architects had started asking for her opinion. Some congratulated her sincerely while others barely hid their resentment. Raphina ignored both, she had promised Bruno she would keep her job. Now she has to prove Silas Croft didn’t make a mistake by trusting her.Still working? She looked up.Mr. Martins smiled as he slipped on his jacket. “You’ll make the rest of us look lazy.”Raph

    Raphina stared at the black folder resting on Silas Croft’s desk. The words Confidential Project seemed to grow heavier the longer she looks at them. Her fingers hovered over the cover before she finally opened it. Inside were preliminary sketches of a luxury mixed-use development overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It was unlike anything Croft Holding Architecture Group has ever attempted. Elegant, ambitious and revolutionary.Raphina’s eyes widened. “This is …..” she looked up. “ The Eclipse Towers Project.”Silas gives a slight nod. You’ve heard of it. Everyone has. For months rumors had circulated through the industry. The government wanted to transform a neglected stretch of coastline into an architectural landmark. Every major firm in the country has competed for the contract.Only one had won, Croft Holding Architecture Group. “ This project is worth more than any contract we’ve ever signed.” Silas said evenly. “If it succeeds, it changes the future of this company.”Raphina caref

    The news spread before Raphina even stepped into the building. Employees huddled in small groups near the reception desk, their voices lowered to whispers that died the moment she walked past. She could feel their eyes following her. She didn’t need to ask why. Someone had seen her leave the executive floor the previous night. And in Croft Holding Architecture Group, nothing stayed secret for long. Raphina tightened her grip on her hand bag and headed towards the elevator, resorting the same thought that had kept her awake all night. Maybe he won’t fire me. The words sounded less convincing every time she said them. She had barely slept after getting home. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the crystal sculpture exploding across Silas Croft marble floor. She had tried to calculate how much it might have cost, after ten minutes, she’d given up. Some things weren’t replaceable, not because of their price but because of the memories attached to them. The elevators slid open to

    Raphina smiled and quickly replied: Still alive, heading home now.She turned towards the door, her shoulder brushed against a narrow pedestal she hadn’t noticed beside the desk, something wobbled, a crystal sculpture.Her eyes widened.”Oh,no…..she lunged forward. Too late, the sculpture toppled from its stand. Time seemed to slow as it stuck the marble floor. The sound of shattering crystal echoes thorough the office like thunder.Raphina stood frozen. Hundreds of glittering fragments scattered across the polished floor, the elegant sculpture was gone, reduced to broken pieces.Her breathing turned shallow.”No….no, no, no…..”She dropped to her knees, frantically gathering the shards with trembling hands. Maybe she could fit them together. Maybe_The office door opened behind her. A deep voice, calm enough to send her spine, broke the silence.What exactly do you think you’re doing??Raphina hands froze over the shattered crystal, her pulse hammered against her ribs. She didn’t need
