Don’t Beg for Love 92. The Investigation
The office fell silent again.Even I felt a slight chill hearing those words.Linda closed the folder. “The police have now listed the PR Manager as the prime suspect. They’ve already taken him into custody for questioning.”I leaned back slightly in my chair. “So that’s why everyone’s mood changed.”“Exactly.” Linda nodded repeatedly. “The media has also started changing their narrative. They’re no longer saying the company forced the HR Manager to commit suicide. They’re now focusing on the possibility that there was something much bigger happening behind the scenes.”I remained thoughtful.Something still didn’t sit right.“If the evidence is this important…” I looked at Linda. “…why would someone send it anonymously instead of going directly to the police?”Linda blinked. “I wondered the same thing. Perhaps they were afraid.”“Or perhaps…” She lowered her voice. “…they’re someone close to the case.”I didn’t answer immediately.Instead, my fingers tapped lightly against the folder
Don’t Beg for Love 91. The Evidence
The Next Morning,Due to many things going on inside her head, I’d literally forgotten that someone else was sharing my apartment.In fact, everything that occurred last night felt like a dream… Until I stepped down the stairs after getting ready for the day to be greeted by an enticing aroma floating in the air, all the way from the kitchen. Immediately, my stomach began grumbling.Ugh! Groaning inside in frustration, my mind wandered between heading in the direction of the kitchen or simply heading straight for work.For all I knew, Andrew Hale might be lurking somewhere around here and the last thing I wanted was having to bump into him.No.I couldn't afford for my morning to be ruined.A lot of things needed to be done at the company today, and I needed a sane mind to process all of it.“Good morning, Mrs. Hale!” Chef Lorenzo’s voice suddenly rang in my ears.So lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice when he came out.My eyes instinctively darted around for another presence after

The silhouette beyond the frosted glass was unmistakably masculine.Broad shoulders filled the enclosure, their outline cutting through the mist. Water streamed down the glass in uneven trails, distorting the figure only slightly. He was tall enough that his head nearly aligned with the top of the shower frame, every movement slow and unhurried, as though he belonged there.My heart slammed painfully against my ribs.The last traces of exhaustion vanished and every bit of sleep fled my eyes.For one absurd second, I wondered whether I was hallucinating.But hallucinations didn’t move.They certainly didn’t continue showering as though nothing had happened.He had heard me scream. There was no way he hadn’t.Yet he remained infuriatingly calm.The running water finally stopped. And my breathing caught.Still rooted to the floor, I watched as he reached toward the rack fixed inside the shower.My towel.Then my eyes shifted.My soap.My shower sponge.A wave of disbelief swept through
Don’t Beg for Love 89. The Private Chef
Annalise’s POVThat evening, Nightfall Avenue gradually came into view. I drove into the estate, my eyelids already getting heavy.For the first time in a long while, driving felt like work.The entire day replayed in my mind in scattered fragments.From the moment I left Sterling Empire, I had barely sat down.First was the police headquarters.Hours were spent answering questions from the investigating officers. They wanted every detail regarding my interaction with the late HR Manager; from the first day I entered the company until our last meeting with the Finance Manager. They asked for timelines, company records, disciplinary reports, internal emails, and even security footage from the day of that meeting.After that came the legal headquarters.My lawyer and I went through every possible accusation Cassandra had made during the interview. We drafted legal documents, prepared a defamation case, organized evidence, and discussed how the company’s reputation could be protected bef
Don’t Beg for Love 88. Incited Them
Annalise’s POVOnly when I went out to have a look did my heart sink at the sight in front of me.The mobs weren’t just protesting. They were here to destroy.The company’s elegant glass entrance had descended into complete chaos. A flower pot crashed onto the marble pavement, shattering into dozens of pieces. Another man swung a wooden stick against one of the decorative panels by the entrance, the loud crack echoing through the plaza. Plastic bottles, crumpled papers, eggs, and even stones littered the once-pristine walkway.The security guards were trying desperately to push the crowd back, but they were hopelessly outnumbered.Several protesters shoved against the barricades while others screamed at the top of their lungs.“Justice!”“Give us justice!”“Murderer!”One security guard stumbled backward after being pushed violently, nearly falling against the revolving glass doors.My brows knitted together.What exactly was happening?This wasn’t ordinary outrage. It felt… organized

Andrew’s POVAt Hale Group.When I arrived at my office, I hadn’t even occupied my seat when the door burst open.Jonas stumbled inside like a man being chased by a ghost.His hair was a mess. His tie hung crookedly around his neck.He bent over, one hand braced against his knee as he struggled to catch his breath.“Boss…” He inhaled sharply. “Boss…”I hadn’t even set my briefcase down.The interruption immediately tested my patience, and I looked at him expressionlessly. “What is it?”He straightened a little, still panting. “It’s… it’s Ms. Sterling— No, the Sterling Empire.”He pointed vaguely behind him. “I…”He still couldn’t complete a sentence.Before I could ask again,The office door swung open for the second time.“Good morning, guys!” A bright, cheerful voice echoed through the room.Courtney walked in as though she owned the place.She carried an oversized insulated food box with both hands, smiling so brightly that anyone unfamiliar with her would think she had just won th

I only glanced at the device once then went about my morning routine.After I was done, I picked up my phone to find several messages piled up.[Annalise, where are you? Why aren't you answering my calls?][Where did you sleep last night, Annalise?][What is going on between you and Alexander Sterl

My fingers instinctively tightened around the phone, hearing Tania’s words.I didn't hear her wrong, did I?“I checked your marriage certificate, Anna. It was fake!” Tania groaned. “Don’t tell me the scumbag tricked you!”Tricked me…Aiden himself asked me to marry him.Three years ago, he’d knocke

Cassandra pointed at me, her soft voice echoing in the hallway. That was when Aiden peeled his gaze from her, and the tender look on his face was instantly gone.But instead of appearing confused, only fear and frustration flashed in his eyes.He quickly let go of Cassandra, While Cassandra tremb

The next day, I discharged myself from the hospital.Standing across the bustling street outside the hospital’s skyscraper, my eyes squinted at the burning sun.For thirty minutes, not a single taxi stopped.Then, suddenly, a convoy of black luxury cars swept onto the street, instantly drawing ever
