Daniel had been missing for two days now, and James was no longer the same man.

His once-broad shoulders had sunken, his hair grew rough and scattered, his eyes—those sharp brown eyes that once commanded attention, now looked like they carried the weight of every regret.

He barely ate. Sometimes he would sit by the dining tab

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 244: A Stage for Redemption

    The morning sunlight poured through the tall glass windows of Transcop Tech’s headquarters, casting golden reflections across the polished marble floors and sleek chrome fixtures that defined the company’s modern architecture.Inside the executive floor, the atmosphere buzzed with controlled energy as assistants, coordinators, and executives moved quickly between offices preparing for one of the most important corporate events the company had held in months.For Sarah Williams, the day carried far more meaning than a simple business partnership.It was a statement.The past few weeks had been filled with public scrutiny, relentless media speculation, and whispered conversations among investors who wondered if the scandal surrounding her name might weaken the stability of Transcop Tech.Many had watched quietly, waiting to see if the pressure would break the woman who had built one of the fastest-growing technology companies in the region.But Sarah had no intention of giving anyone th

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 243: A Free Man

    James released a heavy breath as the echo of Melissa’s footsteps faded down the hallway.For seconds longer, he remained standing in the living room, staring at the staircase as if hoping she would suddenly return and erase the cold anger he had just seen in her eyes.But the house remained silent except for the low murmur of the television still playing the news report about Tiana.The weight of the moment pressed heavily on his chest. Finally, he dragged in a breath, ran a hand across his face, and began walking toward the stairs.Each step felt heavier than the last.By the time he reached Melissa’s bedroom door, he paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts. He knew his daughter well enough to understand that forcing the conversation the wrong way could make everything worse.Still, avoiding the issue now would only deepen the distance growing between them.He knocked softly.There was no response.James slowly opened the door and stepped inside.Melissa lay on her bed, turned aw

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 242: A Second Chance

    Sarah walked out of her office with the composed stride of a woman who had mastered the art of burying emotions beneath professionalism.The glass door closed softly behind her, but the silence it left inside the room felt louder than a slammed door.Behind her, James Striker remained standing exactly where she had left him, the sting of her rejection settling deep into his chest like a heavy stone.For a few seconds, he simply stared at the empty doorway, trying to steady the storm inside him.But James had never been the kind of man who walked away easily from something he believed belonged to him. And right now, the only thing echoing in his head was Sarah’s cold declaration that her heart belonged to another man.His jaw tightened.Then he stepped forward.“Sarah!” he called out as he pushed the office door open and hurried down the hallway.Her heels clicked steadily against the polished marble floor as she moved toward the conference wing of the building.“Sarah.”James quickene

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 241: Old Flames, New Battles

    The conference room on the twenty-third floor of Transcop Tech headquarters carried an atmosphere of quiet professionalism that morning.The wide glass walls overlooked the city skyline, allowing natural light to pour into the spacious room and illuminate the long polished table where several executives were seated.The meeting had already been in progress for almost an hour, and despite the composed expressions around the table, the tension underneath was impossible to ignore.Sarah Williams sat at the head of the table, her posture straight and confident as she addressed the visiting delegation from CloudOpen Tech.The partnership discussion between the two companies had been months in the making, and today’s meeting was supposed to finalize the agreement that would launch a major joint technology project between them.Across the table sat three senior representatives from CloudOpen Tech, including their Chief Strategy Officer, Richard Dalton, a man known in the industry for being e

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 240: Quiet Comfort

    Three days had passed since the night that changed everything. In those seventy-two hours, the city had not stopped talking about the death of Tiana Striker.The news cycle kept the story alive every hour, analysts debated endlessly, and online discussions grew louder with every passing day.For Sarah, however, those three days had been a delicate balancing act between protecting her company, maintaining composure in public, and trying to keep her private life from collapsing under the pressure.That morning, the atmosphere inside Transcop Tech headquarters was unusually tense. Employees tried their best to maintain normal routines, but the lingering attention from the media outside the building had made everyone slightly uneasy.A few reporters still waited near the entrance gates, hoping to catch a glimpse of Sarah or anyone willing to comment on the investigation.Sarah sat inside her office reviewing a document when her assistant knocked lightly and stepped in.“Ma’am,” the assist

    The arrival of federal agents in the city did not happen quietly.By mid-morning, several black government vehicles had already pulled into the parking lot of the central police headquarters, their presence immediately drawing curious glances from officers stationed outside.The agents stepped out one after another, dressed in dark suits that carried an unmistakable sense of authority.Word spread quickly inside the building that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had officially taken over the investigation into Tiana Striker’s death.Among them was Agent Daniel Hartley, the man now leading the case. He was tall, composed, and carried himself with the quiet confidence.His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings as he entered the station alongside two other agents.Inspector Caleb Pierce was waiting inside his office when Hartley stepped in. Caleb rose from his chair immediately, extending a polite handshake.“Agent Hartley,” he said respectfully.Hartley accepted the handshake firmly be
