ROMAN

THAT SAME DAY

“The report was manipulated. Her husband didn’t die. He disappeared the same day her daughter was born.”

The alcohol burned down my throat as I swallowed another shot. My mind was far away, stuck on Cross’s words from two days ago.

“I think someone is sabotaging the truth and pulling strings behind the scenes, sir.”

I poured another shot and drank it, trying to shut out the noise in my head. But the words kept coming back, over and over again. I couldn't shake them off.

I was sitting on the small side table near the wine bar in the living room, using the drinks to distract myself. But it wasn’t working. No matter how much I drank, I still couldn’t stop thinking about it.

There had been a mistake in Cross’s first investigation.

When he told me, I was angry. I had trusted him to get it right. But later, I realized something didn’t add up. Something felt off.

Cross was right. Someone was messing with the truth. Hiding things and pulling strings from the shadows.

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    No Second Chances

    CANDICE“You worry too much, Ethan,” I said into the phone as I stepped out of my apartment and locked the door. “I already told you, I’m fine. I just took a few days off because I wasn’t feeling well. I’m going back to work today. How’s Atlanta treating you?”While Ethan went on about how he was doing fine but missed New York, even though he had only been gone two days for a business meeting, my eyes dropped to the floor near my door.A mess of flowers, apology cards, and gift boxes were arranged neatly in a pile on the floor. I didn’t need to guess that they were from Julian.My jaw tightened as fresh anger rushed through me.“I’ll call you back when I get to the office.” I said quickly, cutting Ethan off and hanging up before he could respond.Once the call ended, I kicked the gifts out of the way, stomping on some of them. My heel crushed a bouquet of white roses. A ribbon tore under my foot, and I muttered curses under my breath.“Cheating bastard.”Did he really think I would b

    SIENNA“Greg… Gregory?”I watched Sabrina as she stared at the man in shock. Her eyes were wide and unfocused, and her mouth hung open like she had just seen a ghost. Her face had lost all color.“You know him?” I asked, even though it was obvious. She had called his name, so she most definitely knew him.It made me wonder whether he was one of her old henchmen? Maybe someone who had once done her dirty work and now turned against her?“Hold on, you two. The party wouldn’t be complete without me,” the second man said, pulling off his mask too. A sly grin appeared on his face.Sabrina’s eyes grew even wider, and her legs gave out. She stumbled back in shock.I looked at the second man closely. There was something familiar about him, but I couldn’t quite place where I had seen him before.“Wh…what…Rafael…” Sabrina stuttered, unable to finish her words. Both men laughed quietly, clearly enjoying the moment.“Oh, Mrs. Montgomery,” the second man—Rafael said with a mocking smile. “I never

    SIENNAI looked around nervously as Sabrina’s car drove deeper into the quiet, run-down area. The place was filled with half built buildings, old abandoned houses, and a few empty warehouses. My whole body felt tense, and I couldn’t stop checking our surroundings through the window.Today was the deadline that the anonymous man had set for us to bring the money in exchange for our secret to be sealed away. He had sent the address, and now we were here, trying to find the right warehouse.“Number seven… number seven…” Sabrina muttered under her breath as she drove slowly, her eyes scanning the buildings.“There.” I pointed to a warehouse on the far right, squeezed between two others. The number seven was painted in faded white above it.As we got closer, my heart started beating faster. My mouth felt dry. The more we approached, the more I just wanted this to be over.Sabrina parked a little way from the warehouse. She looked around carefully, making sure no one else was nearby. If she

    SIENNATHE NEXT DAYI rang the doorbell to Candice’s apartment and stepped back, waiting. She hadn’t shown up at work today, and I wasn’t surprised. Not after what happened yesterday with Julian and Sabrina.That was why I came straight here after work, to check on her. I knew she wouldn’t be doing okay after all the messy events of yesterday.Honestly, who would be?I waited a bit, then rang the bell again. And again. I was about to press it a fourth time when the door finally opened slowly from the inside.Candice’s blank face came up in front of me. She wasn’t crying, but the dark circles under her eyes said enough. Her hair was messy, like she hadn’t moved from bed all day. Like she had been crying on and off, sleeping in between.Seeing her like this made my chest tighten with anger. How could Julian and Sabrina hurt her like this? Especially Julian. I hoped to confront him when I got back to the mansion from here.“Hey.” She said softly. Her voice was low and dry, as if she hadn

    ROMAN“Thank you so much for coming, Mr. Montgomery. It was a pleasure having you here.” One of the summit organizers said, shaking my hand. Another followed, doing the same.After a long and exhausting day, the business summit had finally ended, and I couldn’t wait to leave the building and head home to rest.Soon, we were finally left alone and it was just me and Harper. We walked side by side toward the elevator.“I really hope my mom made one of her usual home cooked dinners,” Harper said with a sigh as we entered the elevator and waited. He rubbed his stomach. “I’m starving.”I glanced at him and shook my head. “You really have no shame. Still a mama’s boy at your big age.”“Proudly,” he replied with a grin, then asked, “Have you heard from Miss Blake? I’ve been trying to reach her, but she’s been busy.”The mention of Sienna made my chest tighten. My heart started to race like it always did when I thought about her. She had been too busy with Ethan Crawford lately to even noti

    CANDICEI stood frozen, my heart pounding so fast I could hear it in my ears. It felt like my whole world had just flipped upside down. I couldn’t take my eyes off what I was seeing. Sabrina on top of Julian, both of them lost in their moment, completely unaware that Sienna and I had walked in.I blinked slowly, trying to make sense of it. A part of me had always felt something was off with Julian. I even thought he might be seeing someone else. But never in a million years did I imagine it would be Sabrina.Julian was the first to notice us. His eyes widened in shock when he saw me standing there with Sienna behind me. In an instant, he pushed Sabrina off him, and she fell to the side of the bed. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as she finally noticed us too and she quickly grabbed the blanket and pulled it over herself.“Candice… shit,” Julian muttered, breathing hard as he scrambled to put on his pants under the blanket. Behind me, Sienna gently reached for my hand.“Let’s go, Candi

    SIENNA“What the hell…” Candice whispered behind me.I quickly stepped away from her, my eyes wide with tears and my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my ears. I tried to hide the contents of the package behind my back, even though it was pointless. She had already seen everything.Gone was the happy, smiling Candice from earlier. Now, her face was frozen in shock and confusion.Without saying a word, she stepped closer and took the photos right from my hand before I could stop her.I stood there helpless, frozen, as her eyes scanned through each picture with growing panic. My legs gave way, and I slid down to the floor, crouching against the wall as my whole body started to shake.“What is this, Sienna?” Candice asked in a soft, shaky voice. “What are you hiding from me? What are these pictures?”I opened my mouth to answer, but nothing came out. Just sobs. My chest tightened, and I broke down, crying.I shut my eyes, begging in my heart that this was just a nightmare. That

    SIENNA"Miss Blake? Are you with us?"Ethan’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I blinked quickly, suddenly aware of where I was. My face flushed with embarrassment as I sat up straighter.We were in the middle of a meeting and once again, my mind had drifted to Emilia and Sabrina. It had been happening since yesterday, like I couldn’t stop replaying everything in my head.“Y-Yeah… I’m here.” I replied quietly.Ethan looked at me for a moment, his eyes filled with concern. He didn’t say anything at first, just let out a soft sigh.“Well then, that’s all for today,” he finally said. “You may all return to your work.”I let out a silent breath of relief, quickly gathering my notebook and pen. I stood up and headed out of the room in a rush before Ethan could pull me aside. I could already feel him thinking about it.Just as I was about to relax, I heard Candice’s voice behind me, followed by the clicking of her heels.“Sienna! Wait up!”I stopped, forcing a smile onto my face before
