ELYRAI gripped the steering wheel so tightly that my fingers hurt.This had to be a lie.It simply had to be.My mother’s voice still echoed inside my head, sharp and painful, refusing to leave me alone.“Your father’s condition wasn’t just bad luck.” she said. “He also had a hand in everything.”The words replayed over and over until they became unbearable.“No…” I whispered to myself, shaking my head as I sped through traffic. “No, that can’t be true.”But the worst part was not knowing. The worst part was the tiny voice inside me that had already begun to believe it.I felt sick. Ashamed. Angry.Mostly angry at myself.Because if my mother was right, then I had been living in the same house with the man connected to my father’s suffering.Sleeping under the same roof.Caring for him.And even currently, I was beginning to soften a bit for him, especially since he got into the accident.The thought made my stomach twist violently.I pressed harder on the accelerator.Cars honked as

ELYRAThe drive to my parents’ apartment felt longer than it actually was.I had made the trip enough times to know every turn, every familiar streetlight, every little roadside shop that came into view before disappearing behind me again, but today everything felt stretched, as though time itself had decided to punish me.The guilt sat heavily in my chest.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel and swallowed hard.How could I have forgotten them?The question kept repeating in my mind like a cruel echo I could not silence.After everything that had happened in the past few weeks, after the chaos with Nick, the scandals, the threats, the mess surrounding my marriage, and everything else piling up around me, somehow I had completely forgotten the two people who mattered most.My parents.The worst part was that it had not even been intentional. I genuinely forgot, and that truth hurt more than anything.I let out a shaky breath as I stopped at a red light.What kind of daughter forg

NICKI had barely stepped out of the elevator when my secretary fell into step beside me, moving quickly to keep up.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted politely as she took my bag from my hand with the ease of someone who had done it a hundred times.“Morning,” I replied without slowing down.The polished floors of the company building reflected the morning light pouring in through the tall windows, and employees immediately straightened when they noticed me walking past. Some greeted me nervously while others quickly lowered their heads and returned to whatever they had been pretending to do before I arrived.As always. Fear worked better than respect. People behaved properly when they feared losing something—their jobs, status or comfort.My secretary opened her tablet and immediately began the morning briefing while we walked toward my office.“You have a strategy meeting at ten with the board regarding the expansion proposal,” she said smoothly. “At eleven thirty, there’s a schedule

ELYRAAfter giving Mike every piece of information I had, I slowly leaned back in my chair and watched as he processed every single thing I had just told him.The serious look on his face had not disappeared once since I began speaking, and now that I was done, the seriousness had faded into a mix of shock and disbelief.Honestly, seeing his reaction made me nervous.I had known the records were suspicious when I first stumbled upon them months ago while I was still with Nick, but back then, I never imagined they could become this important someday.At that time, I had decided not to dwell so much on it.Now, sitting across from Mike and seeing the look in his eyes, I realized the files I had asked him to dig into were far more valuable than I thought.Dangerously valuable.Finally, I cleared my throat softly and stood up.“I should get going now,” I said.Mike looked up immediately, almost like he had forgotten I was still there.“Oh,” he said quickly before standing as well. “Right.

ELYRA.The moment the IRS official introduced himself, I naturally became suspicious. Nothing about this week had been normal, and at this point, I no longer believed in coincidences.Still, I kept my expression calm as my eyes moved from him to a puzzled-looking Jane, then back to him. My mind raced as I continued to stare silently.What could I have done to warrant an IRS questioning?The whole thing smelled wrong. But then I remembered Radiel’s words from the previous day.“When you feel cornered, don’t panic immediately. Listen first. Watch carefully.”At the time, I thought he was simply trying to be protective. Now, I realized he may have sensed something coming.So instead of reacting emotionally, I forced myself to stay composed.Deep down, I already had a guess that someone was trying to cause trouble for me. There were only a few people desperate enough to stoop that low.Nick. Or Star.Honestly, I could picture both of them sitting somewhere and smiling proudly while tryin

ELYRAThe sharp sound of my alarm bell dragged me out of sleep so suddenly that I almost rolled off the bed.I groaned loudly and slapped my hand around the bedside table until my fingers finally found the annoying device. The moment the alarm stopped ringing, silence filled the room again, but the damage had already been done because my sleep was completely gone.“Whoever invented alarm clocks deserves jail,” I muttered with a tired hiss.My voice sounded rough from sleep.For a few seconds, I simply sat there on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead while trying to gather enough strength to stand up. My body still felt heavy from the long drive home the previous night. Every part of me ached slightly, especially my shoulders.I stretched lazily before dragging myself toward the bathroom.The cold tiles under my feet immediately woke me up a little more.I turned on the tap and splashed water against my face, sighing softly as the coolness settled against my skin. After brushing

ELYRAI sat beside Radiel’s bed with my fingers locked tightly around his hand, though I could not tell if I was trying to comfort him or myself.The doctor stood near the foot of the bed with a file tucked under one arm. He wore the same calm expression he always seemed to carry, the kind that loo

RADIELI did not know how long I had been unconscious.When my eyes finally opened, it happened slowly, like I was dragging myself out of deep water. Everything around me was blurred at first. The white ceiling above me looked too bright, and the sharp smell of medicine filled my nose.Then the pai

ELYRAAfter signing the fifth stack of paperwork that Radiel’s secretary had placed in front of me with the words ‘urgent attention needed’, I finally dropped the pen onto the desk and leaned back in the chair.A long sigh escaped me before I could stop it.My neck ached, my fingers felt stiff, and

ELYRAI woke up with a stiff neck and a dull ache spreading across my shoulders, the result of spending the entire night sitting beside Radiel’s bed. At some point, I must have drifted off, my head resting awkwardly against the side of the mattress while my hand stayed loosely wrapped around his.F
