After packing what they needed, one of the officers stepped forward with a firm, practiced expression and pressed a wide strip of paper across the company’s glass door, sealing it carefully in a bold cross pattern.

The words Closure Seal were printed in thick, unforgiving letters, impossible to miss, impossible to ignore, and as the adhesive clung tightly to the surface, it felt as though it wasn’t just the building being shut down, but Pete’s entire existence being locked away without appeal.

    “Get me a nanny,” Pete said harshly, his phone pressed tightly against his ear while he paced restlessly around the sitting room.His voice carried irritation and exhaustion, the kind that came from a man whose life had collapsed too quickly for him to regain balance.“Sir?” the lady on the other end, his former assistant, responded hesitantly, clearly caught off guard by the sudden order.Pete’s expression darkened immediately.“Are you deaf?” he burst out impatiently, his voice echoing through the quiet house. “I said get me a nanny to look after my child.”His breathing remained heavy after shouting. The frustration boiling inside him had become impossible to control lately.Every small inconvenience irritated him. Every delay felt like an insult.He dragged a hand through his rough hair while waiting for her response, but instead, silence greeted him from the other end of the call.And then Pete realized why.Money.Of course she was thinking about money.Just days ago, he was a w

    “You said you knew nothing about childcare, so I left the child to Petra.” Pete burst out in rage, his voice echoing through the house as he pointed fiercely at Zoe with trembling fingers.His chest rose and fell violently, anger and heartbreak twisting together inside him until he could barely breathe properly. “Now, you’re raising a baby with him? How can you do this to me?”His voice cracked slightly toward the end, not from weakness alone, but from the crushing realization that everything around him had completely fallen apart.Zoe stared at him without pity.Her expression remained cold, almost irritated, as though Pete’s pain was nothing more than an inconvenience interrupting her evening. She adjusted the oversized shirt hanging loosely over her body before stepping closer to him slowly, her heels clicking softly against the floor.“Pete,” she said calmly, her eyes fixed directly on his face, “use your brain for once.” She folded her arms across her chest, her lips curving into

    “A good friend?” Pete repeated, his voice rising with disbelief as his eyes darted between Zoe and the man standing far too comfortably beside her.His chest heaved as he struggled to contain the anger surging through him, his fingers curling into tight fists at his sides. “You think I’m blind? You two were making out right here, and you say he’s just a friend?”His voice cracked at the end, not just from rage, but from something deeper; betrayal hitting him harder than he expected.Zoe didn’t flinch. Instead, she chuckled, a low, careless sound that carried no trace of guilt. She tilted her head slightly, her lips curving into a smirk that only fueled Pete’s fury.“So what?” she said, her tone light, almost mocking. “Wasn’t that what we used to do?” Her eyes held his for a moment, daring him to respond, to challenge her further.“Exactly, man,” the man cut in smoothly, stepping forward with a confidence that made Pete’s blood boil even more. “Don’t be so petty. Zoe and I haven’t know

    “I knew I couldn’t count on any of you.” Pete muttered under his breath, shaking his head slowly as disappointment settled deep into his bones, heavier than anything he had ever felt before.His eyes looked dull, stripped of the arrogance that once defined him, replaced now with a tired frustration that refused to leave his chest. “You’re all ingrates.” He added, his voice low but firm, as though he was trying to convince himself that the fault wasn’t entirely his, that the world had somehow turned against him unfairly.He released a heavy breath, his chest rising and falling unevenly as his heartbeat pounded loudly in his ears, each thump echoing like a reminder of how far he had fallen in such a short time.Just as he tried to steady himself, his phone suddenly started ringing, the sharp sound cutting through the silence around him.Without even glancing at the screen, he picked it up immediately, his movements quick and almost desperate, as though he was clinging to the possibility

    “Eric, trust me.” Pete said, reaching forward with both hands as though his words alone were not enough to convince him, his fingers wrapping tightly around Eric’s hands in a desperate attempt to hold him in place. “Once I have the money, I can start over. Trust me, okay?”His voice carried a strain that hadn’t been there before, a raw edge of desperation that made it clear he was no longer the confident man who once gave orders and expected obedience without question.“Eric,” another voice broke out sharply from the bedroom door, interrupting the tension that hung in the air. “Come help me.”Both men turned their heads at the same time, their eyes landing on a woman who stood by the door, half naked, trying to cover herself with a curtain she had hastily wrapped around her body, her impatience obvious from the way she shifted her weight and frowned slightly.Pete had come to Eric immediately after Martins disappointed him, holding on to the faint hope that at least one person in his

    After packing what they needed, one of the officers stepped forward with a firm, practiced expression and pressed a wide strip of paper across the company’s glass door, sealing it carefully in a bold cross pattern.The words Closure Seal were printed in thick, unforgiving letters, impossible to miss, impossible to ignore, and as the adhesive clung tightly to the surface, it felt as though it wasn’t just the building being shut down, but Pete’s entire existence being locked away without appeal.Pete stood a few steps away from the entrance, his body frozen in place as his eyes remained fixed on the seal, wide and unblinking, while his mouth hung slightly open in disbelief.The reality of what had just happened refused to settle in his mind properly, as though his brain was struggling to process the collapse of something he once believed was untouchable.The once-busy entrance of Jordan Group now looked lifeless, stripped of movement, stripped of pride, stripped of everything that had o

    The entire hall had fallen into a strange silence after Petra’s cold declaration about the divorce.The atmosphere that had earlier been filled with murmurs and scattered arguments now carried a tense stillness, the kind that made every small movement feel louder than it should.Pete stood there fo

    The chaos inside the hall had reached its peak.Pieces of cake lay scattered across the floor, smeared under hurried footsteps. Fruits rolled lazily across the polished tiles, and fragments of wooden decorations were spread near the stage like the aftermath of a small storm.The once elegant event

    Zoe’s lips curved into a satisfied smile, the kind that carried pride and a hint of arrogance.“Alright,” Zoe said casually, unfolding her arms as if she had finally made up her mind. She stretched her hands slightly and rolled her shoulders like someone preparing for something exciting. “I’m going
