COMING HOME TO YOU Chapter 18: A clear evidence
The noise of the lobby faded slowly.Wren stared at the door, her heart seeming to skip a beat, her eyes widening at who she saw standing there."Mom," she said, her voice low, almost to herself.Margie walked into the lobby, and right behind her was Marcus."Margie!" Elliot said, staring at her, his voice carrying the weight of shock, his hands tightening slightly at his sides.Margie stood staring back at him."Mr Ashford." Her voice was flat. "It's really been a long time. You still look the same - rigid, just as you did fifteen years ago."Elliot straightened, a mocking smile appearing on his face and vanishing almost instantly."Mom!" Wren called, her voice louder but shaking. "Babe!"Margie's eyes moved from Elliot to Wren, and her expression changed, the sharpness from a second ago replaced by fear."Baby." She rushed forward, reaching for Wren's hand through the officers surrounding her.Marcus pushed forward too, passing Priya, who still stood frozen, and took his place prote

"What are you reading?"Wren quickly closed her hand around the letter."Nothing," she said, her voice shaky. "It's nothing."Isabelle stepped further into the room, her eyes narrowing. "What do you mean, nothing? I saw you reading something. So what was that?"Wren didn't answer.Isabelle walked closer, slow and deliberate, until she stood right in front of the desk."Give it to me," she said quietly, holding out her hand for the envelope.Wren took a slow step backward. "It's not yours.""Neither is it yours. It belongs to Theo, and he's my boyfriend, not yours." Isabelle kept walking forward as Wren backed away. "Give it to me," she said, her voice rising.Wren's whole body shook at the sharpness of her voice. Her hands shook around the envelope, her eyes fixed on Isabelle, who looked like she was about to devour her."What is going on here?" Elliot asked, stepping into the office.Wren's eyes met his. Isabelle spun around quickly."Sir!" she said, straightening fast, smoothing her
COMING HOME TO YOU Chapter 16: Going back to him
"The CEO is missing."Wren rose quickly from her chair, her phone still pressed to her ear, while Margie watched her daughter's face change more and more."What do you mean?" Wren asked. "When I left, Theo was in his office.""He was in his office when I checked on him twenty minutes ago," Cole said. "Then I went to bring him some documents, and he was gone. His jacket's still on the chair. His phone's still on his desk. We've searched the whole company. He isn't here, and the CCTV didn't catch anything."Wren swallowed hard.Margie leaned forward, watching her daughter's face. "What is it?" she whispered.Wren covered the phone for a second. "Theo's missing," she said. Then, back into the phone: "Cole, has anyone checked with his father? Or Isabelle?""Elliot says he hasn't heard from him. Isabelle isn't picking up either." Cole's voice was tight, worried. "This has never happened before. The CEO doesn't just leave without telling me.""Calm down, Cole. Have you checked his house? Hi
COMING HOME TO YOU Chapter 15: I'm done
Wren's hands came up fast, pressing flat against Theo's chest, and pushed him away.Theo stumbled back a step, surprised, his hand going briefly to his chest, right where she had touched him."There," she said, her voice shaking but firm. "I pushed you away."Theo stared at her, breathing hard, his eyes searching her face."That doesn't answer my question," he said, his voice low."It doesn't matter what I feel, Theo." Wren stood up from the chair, putting real distance between them. "I already told you. I'm resigning, and that hasn't changed.""Wren–""No." She held up a hand, stopping him. "You don't get to keep doing this. Every time I try to walk away, you say something that pulls me back in. It's not fair. Not to me, not to Marcus, not even to Isabelle."Theo's jaw tightened at her name."I'm not doing this to hurt you," Wren said, quieter now. "I'm doing this because I have to protect myself—from you, from all of this.""You still don't trust me," Theo said."Yeah. I don't." Wre
COMING HOME TO YOU Chapter 14: Tell me the truth
Theo froze, watching Isabelle walk toward him, each step slow and sure.She reached him and smiled."You look amazed. Why?" she asked, still smiling."What are you doing here?" Theo asked, his voice low and dangerous."Relax. I came to check on our secretary, to see if she's feeling better," Isabelle replied.His jaw tightened."Aren't you supposed to be having dinner with our dads?" Theo asked, his tone sharp. "Look, if you're here to start a commotion, you'd better leave." He pointed back the way she'd come.Isabelle let out a strange laugh."Don't worry, sweetheart. We'll still be having dinner together, you, me, and our dads." She smiled. "I'm just here to check on Wren." She walked past him.Her eyes moved over every face in the hallway, then stopped, freezing in place."Marcus!" she said, her expression twisting with surprise, her breath catching.Theo turned quickly."Boss!" Marcus said, straightening fast, his arm slipping slightly away from Wren.Wren blinked, looking between

Theo opened his mouth to speak but couldn't find words.The hallway went quiet.Margie stared at him, her eyes fixed on him with a hard expression.Marcus stood beside her, looking from one face to the other, waiting for someone to explain."You didn't answer me," Margie said. "What are you doing here?"Theo swallowed. "Wren collapsed at work. I brought her here."Margie's jaw tightened. "Why were you with my daughter?""I'm... I'm her boss," Theo said carefully.Margie let out a short, bitter laugh. "Her boss." She shook her head. "After what you did to her? After how you made her feel? You... you," She stopped, taking a deep breath."Wait." Marcus stepped forward, looking between them. "I'm really confused here. Can someone explain what's going on?"Then the door to Wren's room opened, and a nurse stepped out.Theo, Margie, and Marcus turned to face her at once."She's awake," the nurse said."Can I see her now?" Theo asked stepping forward."She's asking to see Marcus. Are you Marc
