The wind off the East River howled like a warning.

Celeste Marlowe stood at the edge of Pier 19, her coat drawn tight around her frame, the hood casting shadows over her eyes. The dock stretched ahead like a graveyard of forgotten things—graffiti-stained concrete, rusted bollards, broken glass glittering faintly under the waning light. She pulled her phone from her pocket again, checking the time.

It was 4:58 p.m now and Devon still wasn’t there.

She had arrived early on purpose, not out of excitement but strategy rather. She wanted to watch the area, see who else showed up—that was if anyone did. The air smelled like salt and rust, and the occasional screech of seagulls overhead only made the place feel more desolate and abandoned.

She turned slowly, scanning the length of the dock as she did. Beyond the fence behind her, a road curved back toward the city. There were no parked cars. No headlights. Nothing moved. Everything was just eerily still.

Her nerves buzzed beneath the sur

    The next morning, Annabelle and Devon woke up late, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains as they reluctantly emerged from their slumber. The restful night had turned into a rushed morning, with the entire household buzzing with a sense of urgency as everyone scrambled to prepare for the day ahead. Ella, an early riser by nature, had already been up for hours. She was in the kitchen, a smile on her face, as she joined the staff members who were bustling about to prepare a hearty breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, mingling with the sweet scent of pancakes cooking on the stove. Meanwhile, Annabelle and Devon, still half-asleep, scrambled out of bed and hurried to get ready, eager to join the rest of the family before the morning rush was over. “Wow, Ella, you really didn’t have to do this!” Annabelle exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise as she gazed at the stack of perfectly golden pancakes, drizzled with syrup and top

    A week had passed and Annabelle sat at her desk in her office, engrossed in a stack of reports that needed her attention. The sunlight streamed through the large windows, casting warm beams across her organized workspace. Just then, her personal assistant and close friend, Rose, entered the room with a light knock. Her cheerful demeanor was evident as she approached, a hint of concern flickering in her eyes. "Hey, Annabelle," Rose said, her voice bright yet soft. "I thought we should take a moment to talk." She leaned against the door frame, crossing her arms as she studied Annabelle's focused expression. Rose had always been attuned to her friend's moods, and today felt like the right time to check in. Annabelle looked up, shaking off her thoughts, and smiled warmly, inviting Rose to step further into the room. “What’s weighing on Rose’s mind?” “We have a friend who specializes in creating stunning women’s suits. She happens to be in town right now, and I think it would be a g

    This weekend, Annabelle and Devon made a conscious decision to prioritize their family time, setting aside all work obligations and distractions. Annabelle packed away her laptop and silenced her phone, determined to fully immerse herself in the quality moments with her loved ones. They planned a series of activities that would allow them to reconnect and create lasting memories, taking advantage of the beautiful weather and each other's company. Whether it was enjoying a picnic in the park, playing board games at home, or going for a leisurely hike, their focus was entirely on strengthening their bonds as a family. "Camille, we can't just sit here! What should we do?" Annabelle urged, her voice laced with urgency. “You're asking a one-year-old girl for options, you really need her to grow up, don't you?” Devon said and burst into laughter. “Of course, so we can have some girly time,” Annabelle responded, smiling. “Ouch, I feel left out, I need a son,” Devon said, laughing. After

Today marked the beginning of her journey as the mayor of her beloved town, a dream she had nurtured for years and now, at long last, had become a reality. As she prepared for the day, a swirl of excitement and nerves danced in her stomach. She slipped into her favorite tailored suit, a deep navy blue that made her feel confident and polished.
