LENA.

It had been days. Not hours, not one or two restless nights where I could still pretend he was busy or distracted or caught up in something temporary. Days. Long enough for silence to stop being an accident and start becoming a decision.

Richard hadn’t called. He hadn’t texted. He hadn’t even done the bare minimum of sending one of those empty, useless messages people send when they don’t know what to say but still want to keep a door open.

Nothing.

And patience, as I had always known and

    RICHARD.When Karen called me that morning, I expected another brief conversation about schedules or business matters. Even though our relationship had improved over the past months, I still found myself preparing for difficult conversations whenever I saw her name appear on my phone.Instead, the first thing she said was, "Are you busy this afternoon?"I sat back in my chair and glanced at the empty calendar on my tablet."No," I answered honestly. "I don't have anything important planned.""Good," she said. "I'm in Seattle with Sophie. Eleanor and I have plans for a few hours, and I was wondering if you'd like to spend the afternoon with her."For a moment, I simply stared at the floor."With Sophie?""Yes.""Alone?"Karen chuckled softly."Yes, Richard. Alone."I rubbed the back of my neck."Are you sure?""I wouldn't ask if I wasn't."There was something in her voice that surprised me.Trust.Not complete trust, perhaps, but enough to hand me the most important person in her world

    JASON.I knew something was different the second I stepped into the house.Usually, when I came home after work, Sophie would already be waiting near the door with endless stories spilling out of her mouth before I even had a chance to take off my shoes, and Karen would be somewhere in the living room with her laptop open, papers spread across the coffee table, or her phone pressed to her ear while discussing another detail connected to the investigation.Tonight, the house smelled of garlic, butter, and herbs. Soft music drifted from the kitchen. The lights were warm.Everything felt... lighter.I loosened my tie and followed the scent, finding Karen standing at the stove while stirring something in a saucepan. Her hair was tied back loosely, and she was wearing one of my oversized shirts over a pair of leggings. She looked beautiful, but that wasn't what caught my attention.It was her expression.Over the last few weeks, especially since the investigation into Victor Hale began, th

    KAREN.For a second, I considered asking my assistant to take the call instead or to ask the investigators to drop a message, but something urged me to answer."Karen Andrews speaking."A calm female voice answered immediately."Ms. Andrews, good afternoon. My name is Agent Carla Webb with the federal investigative task force handling the Victor Hale case."I nodded. “Good afternoon, Agent Webb.”"Yes. I apologize for contacting you without prior notice, but there have been significant developments, and I thought you'd prefer hearing them directly."I slowly sat back down."I'm listening."There was a brief pause before she continued."Thomas Reef has agreed to cooperate fully."I closed my eyes for a moment.Thomas Reef.The trusted executive who had spent years quietly embedded inside A.A. Biotech."What did he say?" I asked."Quite a lot," Webb replied. "He confirmed that Victor Hale placed him inside A.A. Biotech several years ago. Mr. Reef wasn't simply gathering information. He

    KARENI sat behind my desk with my laptop open, several reports spread across the polished wood surface, and a cup of coffee that had long gone cold beside me, but my eyes kept drifting back to the folded letter lying near my hand.Lena's letter.No matter how many times I read it, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was holding something much bigger than a simple confession or warning. Every sentence seemed heavier now, carrying meanings I hadn't noticed the first time. It felt like a thread sticking out from an expensive sweater, one careful tug away from unraveling everything.I leaned back in my chair and exhaled slowly.No.This wasn't something I should sit on alone.If there was even a small chance that Lena had uncovered something connected to Hale's case, then I needed someone who understood the legal implications better than I did.I picked up my phone and grabbed my handbag.Almost thirty minutes later, I walked into the offices of our legal director."Karen?" My attorney s

    KARENThe air at the office had felt quieter when I arrived that morning.The past few weeks had been calmer than I expected, which should have been a good thing, but instead it made me uneasy. After months of court appearances, investigations, media attacks, and rebuilding the reputation of the company, silence felt unnatural. It was like standing in the middle of a field after a storm had passed and wondering if another one was gathering somewhere beyond the horizon.My assistant followed me inside carrying a stack of documents."These need your signature before noon," she said, placing them neatly on my desk. "And this arrived with the regular mail."She handed me a plain white envelope.There was no stamp from a company, no logo, and no return address. Only my name was written across the front in neat handwriting.I frowned."Who delivered it?""It came through the postal service. That's all I know.""Alright. Thank you."She nodded and quietly left, closing the door behind her.F

    RICHARDI woke earlier than I normally did that morning, though I couldn't honestly say I had slept particularly well. The past few weeks had left a lingering restlessness in me that seemed to follow me into bed every night and wake up with me every morning, making sleep feel less like rest and more like a temporary escape that never lasted long enough.For a while, I remained stretched out beneath the covers, staring absently at the pale ceiling above me while the first traces of daylight slipped through the gaps in the curtains. Seattle was slowly waking up outside my apartment, and I could already hear the distant murmur of traffic beginning to build beneath my windows.Eventually, I reached for my phone on the nightstand and unlocked it, intending to skim through my emails before getting out of bed. There were the usual notifications waiting for me—market summaries, messages from colleagues, and updates from financial newsletters I barely remembered subscribing to—but one headline

    JASONI hadn’t expected booking a wedding venue to feel this strangely overwhelming.I thought I would sit down with my laptop, compare dates, make a payment, close the tab, and move on with my day without giving it too much thought. Instead, I found myself sitting completely still at the kitchen i

    KAREN.My week had barely begun when the call came in.I had only just settled into my office, setting my coffee down on the desk while the faint warmth from the cup curled into the cold morning air. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city looked dull and overcast, wrapped in a grayness that

    KARENBy the time Saturday came around, I still was not completely sure I had made the right decision.For days, I had gone back and forth in my head about it, changing my mind every few hours like that alone could somehow make things easier.
