    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

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 239: A Case Beyond Control

    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

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 238: Shadows of a Rising Storm

    Morning arrived quietly, but the peace that usually came with it did not reach Sarah’s world.The city had barely begun its daily bustle when the news channels were already alive with flashing headlines and breaking updates.In living rooms, offices, cafés, and even taxis weaving through traffic, televisions displayed the same story repeatedly; Tiana Striker’s shocking death.The scandal had grown overnight, spreading across the internet like wildfire, and every media outlet seemed determined to dissect every tiny detail.Inside Sarah’s mansion, the television in the living room played one of the morning broadcasts at a moderate volume.A news anchor sat upright behind a polished desk, her voice steady but clearly dramatic enough to hold the attention of viewers.“Good morning,” she began. “We continue to follow the shocking developments surrounding the death of socialite Tiana Striker, who died late last night after an altercation involving businesswoman Sarah Williams and an unident

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 237: Sparks and the Ruins

    The night air outside Sarah’s mansion carried a tense stillness, the kind that made every breath feel heavier than usual.The bright lights along the driveway illuminated the uneasy gathering at the entrance, casting long shadows across the polished tiles.Everyone standing there could sense the rising hostility between the two men, and it was impossible to ignore.Magnus stood tall beside Sarah, his broad shoulders squared as if he had already decided he would not move an inch, no matter what happened next. His hand still held Sarah’s firmly, not in possession, but in silent reassurance.His expression remained calm, yet his eyes burned with a quiet fire that made it clear he would not tolerate any nonsense.Across from him, James Striker looked like a man who had been pushed far beyond his patience. His jaw tightened, the veins on his neck visible under the dim porch light as anger simmered dangerously in his chest.“Why were you at the scene if not to expose Sarah to more danger?”

  • His Choice Wasn't Me   Chapter 236: Shockwaves

    The death of Tiana had already flooded the internet. News platforms, social media pages, and late-night television channels were all repeating the same breaking story with slightly different headlines.Every outlet seemed eager to analyze the dramatic end of a woman whose name had already been surrounded by controversy for months.Footage from earlier investigations flashed across screens, accompanied by bold captions and commentators speculating about motives, connections, and the circumstances that had led to her violent encounter that evening.About two hours earlier, James Striker had been seated in his living room, half listening to the evening news while holding a glass of red wine in his hand.The television cast a soft glow across the dim room, illuminating the modern furniture and the quiet elegance of the house.Melissa had already gone to bed.The house was silent except for the steady voice of the news presenter and the occasional clink of glass whenever James adjusted his

    The drive home was quiet at first.Not the peaceful kind of quiet; this one sat heavy between them, thick with everything neither of them knew how to say yet.Melissa stared out the window, her forehead resting against the glass, watching buildings slide past like scenes from a life she wasn’t sure

    The letter arrived on a quiet afternoon, slipped between contracts and reports that demanded Sarah's signature.It was thinner than the rest, handwritten, the paper slightly creased as if it had been folded and unfolded too many times before finally being sealed.She noticed the prison stamp immedi

    Moments later, they were seated opposite each other in the restaurant, a quiet place tucked away from the city's louder corners. The establishment occupied the second floor of an older building, its entrance marked only by a small brass plaque that bore no name, just an elegant symbol etched into t
