Charlotte skimmed through the folder in her lap before raising an eyebrow. "And you're sure this will bend the board members to do your bidding?"

Baron hummed. "It's minor, but it will shake them."

She flipped another page. "Even the seemingly upright ones?"

That earned a grin from Baron. "I'm positive."

He turned to his most trusted guard. "August here went through quite a mess digging them up."

    Charlotte skimmed through the folder in her lap before raising an eyebrow. "And you're sure this will bend the board members to do your bidding?"Baron hummed. "It's minor, but it will shake them."She flipped another page. "Even the seemingly upright ones?"That earned a grin from Baron. "I'm positive."He turned to his most trusted guard. "August here went through quite a mess digging them up."Charlotte leaned back against the sofa. "You've been collecting dirt on the board for years, yet you barely use it.""Patience, sister." Baron took a slow sip. "Power belongs to the person holding everyone else's secrets, not the flashiest one.""Do you intend to use them now?""I intend to take what's rightfully ours, in time."Charlotte closed the file gently. "You really think they'll move against Iris?""They already are." Baron's expression darkened slightly. "The board tolerated her because she was untouchable. But now they'll be more interested in saving themselves." He set his glass d

    Iris opened her eyes. Morning sunlight spilled through the curtains.Apollo still slept beside her, one arm loosely around her waist. In sleep, he looked younger somehow. Less dangerous or burdened by devotion.Her gaze lingered on him for a moment before she carefully slipped from the bed.By the time Apollo opened his eyes again, Iris was already standing before the mirror.A crisp charcoal suit hugged her frame perfectly. Then came the hat, wide brimmed, as black as her mood.It was bound to command attention the moment she entered any room.“You’re returning to work already?” Apollo watched quietly from the bed as she adjusted her wrist watch. “You should rest.”“I’ve done enough of that.” Iris glanced at him through the mirror. “Absolutely not.”“Are we not going to have a talk about last night? Your treatment...”“Later, I don’t plan on running late.” Iris avoided his eyes.Apollo sat up slowly. “You look tired.”“I look powerful. There is a difference. I’m going down for breakf

    Abigail was just about to beat Larry for the fifth time in a row when Jake’s call came through. “You cheated,” Larry said, staring at the racing screen in horror. “I absolutely did not.” Abi laughed, gripping the controller tighter. “You button mashed with criminal intent.” “Sounds like a skill issue to me.” Abi giggled. Larry gasped dramatically as he pressed the phone on his ear. But then the excitement died down when Jake said to meet at the carpark. Abi glanced at him. “Did something happen?” “We’re going home.” Larry scratched his brow. Meeting Iris and Jake, it was easy to tell that something happened. The ride back was painfully quiet. Abi sat in the backseat beside Iris, occasionally stealing glances at her sister. Iris looked completely unbothered, calmly scrolling through her phone. Jake’s hands tightened around the steering wheel every few minutes. Larry noticed it. So did Abigail. The moment they stepped into the house, an arguement unfolded. “D

    Abigail wandered ahead of Larry, an ice cream cone in one hand. It was her idea to feed her sweet tooth while her sister wasn’t watching. Maybe it was the noise. Maybe it was Larry’s company slowly melting away her introverted nature. She turned a corner too quickly and walked straight into someone.“Oh!” He caught her before she stumbled.Then she froze. “Noah…”He blinked down at her, surprised. “Abigail?”Her heart raced for no reason she could explain. Up close, he looked the same as always. Calm and put together.“I didn’t see you,” she said quickly.“Clearly.” A faint smile tugged at his lips. His eyes shifted past her. “Didn't bet on meeting you here. Are you alone?”Larry stepped forward casually. “She rarely is.”Noah looked between them. “Oh... Is this your friend?”"My...my." Abi’s brain short circuited. “My boy-friend,” she blurted.Larry nearly choked on his food.Noah went still for half a second. “I see,” he said quietly.Larry recovered first. “Its a very recent develo

    The mall was louder than Iris expected. Voices overlapped, music spilled from open stores. It felt alive in a way her world rarely did. Her face was calm but her eyes moved more than usual, quietly taking everything in. Abigail stayed closer to Larry, pointing at random things. It didn’t take much for her to ditch her sister to explore the place with him. For Jake this was the perfect chance to show Iris a glimpse of normalcy. To impress her with simple gestures. And he saw just the place to start. Jake stopped in front of a boutique with a glass front and soft gold lettering. “Veloure?” Iris glanced at it, then at him. Jake scratched the back of his neck. “You need clothes. Comfier ones. Not just…what you’ve been rotating.” “Whats the point? I could have my stylist send over twenty options before dark,” Iris replied plainly. “I know,” he said quickly. “But… I wanted to pick them myself.” There was something disarmingly simple in the way he said it. No pride, j

    FlashbackIris was eight when she truly learned her siblings hated her.It began with Olivia’s usual mischief. She snuck into Iris’s room with a jug of water and poured it slowly onto the mattress, soaking the sheets. Then she raised her voice, calling for the others.“She wet the bed again!” Olivia’s song pierced the quiet hall. “I didn’t!” Iris protested, clutching the dripping fabric as she hopped down. “Look, it doesn’t even smell. It’s just water.”Charlotte arrived first, already smirking, already rehearsed on her blame game. “Ugh, she reeks. What do think Baron? She’s always making excuses.”Baron leaned lazily against the doorframe, his arms folded. “Pathetic. Father should send you to sleep in the stables. At least the horses won’t complain.”Their laughter invaded the air.“It’s not true!” Iris’ voice broke as she shook her head.Charlotte lurked forward, circling her. “Doesn’t matter what’s true. It matters what we say. And everyone listens to us, not you.”“Not Father. He

    "I can explain." Jake tucked his prick in his pants. "I'm not interested in the details." Iris walked away from the crime scene, shutting her ears. "But I am!" Gale waved excitedly at Jake. "I'm deeply sorry, Miss Gale.""What for? It is a natural phenomenon. I'd be worried if you weren't getting it

    Jake's endurance was tested. Never in all his years did he imagine falling into his present state. He looked back. Sure enough, there was no one coming. "Ma'am, what are you doing?" Jake lowered his voice. "What does it look like?" Iris blinked. "Isn't this your term and condition to what I proposed

    "Larry, the fax is here!" "I'm on it!" Larry doubled up to retrieve the document from the fax machine. The department was on the hunt for the next big talents out there; for advertisement purposes. After Jake's overnight transfer, Larry became a much-preferred candidate for errands. It wasn't done t

    "No." Iris did not want to waste good muscles on a frown. But she was furious. "The job will grant me the means to contribute, so I can stay relevant as a parent. I want to be in the life of the child." Jake pleaded his case. "If I wanted any of that drama, a contract would not exist," Iris said.
