He’s been waiting for quite some time because you won’t talk to him, or take his calls, or respond to his messages. He’s torn.” At her words, Dominic felt the heat of his anger begin to melt. He remembered Mike’s earlier attempt to fix things. “I will try,” he said quietly. “Thank you.” “You’re welcome.” A pause passed between them. Then she smiled and whispered, “I love you, Dominic James.” His gaze softened. “I love you too, Andra Anderson.” “What now?” “We’ll see how the election turns out.” *** The next day, Duke Anderson issued a public statement. He had forgiven the young woman. He would not be pressing charges. The announcement sent ripples through the media. Praise poured in. His ratings climbed. People began to talk of his nobility. Forgiveness, they said, was a rare quality in leadership. Duke’s
Hours later, the entire country was abuzz. A breaking news clip with several variations was trending across every media platform. Phones chimed with notifications. Screens in salons, cafés, and offices glowed with the same footage.Jane stood outside the gate of her father’s house, surrounded by a sea of flashing cameras and muffled murmurs from reporters. Her face was bare, her eyes red-rimmed but determined. She held the mic tightly, as if drawing courage from its weight.“This is an apology to Duke Anderson and his family. This is also an apology to Prime Minister George James and his family. I am sorry for my utterances. It was a prank that went too far. I didn’t mean to say those things. I had no right. Everything was fake. I know nothing of a contract. I hope he can forgive me. I hope everyone can forgive me, but I am prepared to accept responsibility for my actions. I also apologize to my family for all this. Once again, I am sorry.”Her voice trembled as she spoke, but her wor
Jane seemed to be expecting Dominic’s call. She answered before the second ring.“Wow,” she said, her voice light, almost amused. “Everyone seems to want to talk to me. And by everyone, I mean your friend Mike—and of course, you.”“You believe this is a game, right?”“I’m not playing a game, Dominic.”“Then what is this?”“Love.”“Love?” he echoed, unable to believer her delusion.“You are worth fighting for. I can make this all go away with a public apology—but only if you promise to come back to me. We can start all over.”Dominic fell silent. She mistook the pause for hope, or worse, acceptance.“I knew you’d be reasonable,” she said gently. “You’ve always been reasonable, love.”He inhaled deeply, trying to calm the slow-burning anger rising in his chest. It helped—a little.“Jane.”“Yes, sweetheart?”“Where are you?”“At home,” she replied. “You have the address. I’m sure the separation didn’t make you forget.”“How could I?” Dominic said evenly.“Great.”“I’m on my way.”“To talk
Dominic shook hands with his associates inside his new boardroom, the walls still bare, wires exposed, and paint buckets tucked in corners. The long glass table gleamed beneath the overhead lights, even though the room around it still smelled faintly of plaster and fresh paint.He was glad the meeting was over. One by one, they filed out, murmuring quick goodbyes, their footsteps echoing down the hallway.Outside the boardroom, the entire building buzzed with motion—engineers in hard hats, designers measuring walls, delivery people hauling in furniture and cables. But Dominic’s mind wasn’t there.One of the engineers stayed behind to brief him on progress—logistics, electrical plans, a minor plumbing reroute—but his words washed over Dominic like static. Something was off. The silence at home, the unfinished conversation with Andra... it tugged at his thoughts."Sir, I assure you. Everything will be done well.""I don't fully trust you because you said this office was ready. Just move
It was nighttime, and Dominic lay in bed with Andra nestled in his arms. The room was bathed in the soft glow of amber light from a single wall sconce. Outside, the distant hum of the city filtered through the closed windows, muffled and unobtrusive. Inside, there was only quiet and warmth.She kiss
The recording studio was quiet—almost sacred in its silence. Thick soundproof walls hugged the room, absorbing every stray noise, while the faint hum of high-end recording equipment gave the space a subtle, ambient buzz. LED strips glowed soft amber along the edges of the ceiling, casting a warm li
Andra stepped into the house with her arms full of groceries, but her thoughts were scattered like leaves in the wind.She felt… unsteady.Everything in her mind kept circling back to that woman. The sleek car. The smug voice. The words that had wrapped around her like cold steel.> “When this littl
The city moved slowly around Dominic as he waited by the curb in his Uber, one hand resting on the gear, the other tapping absently on the steering wheel.The evening light bathed Auckland in honey-gold hues, but his thoughts weren’t on the traffic or the soft breeze wafting in through the open wind
