    Leo’s POVIt was our final project review, but the restructuring plan for Vanguard had long since ceased to be the focal point of the meetings. Julian didn’t play by standard corporate protocol, and I had stopped pretending that I was here just to fulfill academic requirements weeks ago.Julian was standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the city below with the stillness of a predator waiting for the right moment to strike. He turned, his gaze heavy and deliberate, locking onto me the moment I set my messenger bag down. There was no pretense of professional courtesy left."You're late, Leo," he noted, his voice low and vibrating with that familiar, smooth authority."I took the scenic route," I replied, my tone level, holding his gaze without a flicker of hesitation.I knew exactly what I was walking into. I’d navigated rooms like this before, and I knew how to read the tension in the air. Julian didn’t want a subordinate; he wanted an equal, someone who understood the mech

  • Late Night Deliveries: The After Hours   UNWANTED CALL

    Kendra POVI was trying to scrub away the traces of panic and exhaustion. My eyes were bloodshot, my skin pale, and every breath felt really heavy. I had spent the last hour trying to steady my nerves, letting the hot shower steam clear my head while Lena unpacked our things in the main room.Then, cutting sharply through the quiet hum of the bathroom, a phone began to ring from out in the room.It wasn't my phone. It just shouldn’t be mine. Every call or notification from my phone made my heart beat fast. What is coming next again. I just wanted a pause or even an escape from the digital lynch mob.I hoped it was Lena’s phone.I paused, pressing a towel gently to my face as I listened. The ringing paused for a second, and I heard the soft rustle of footsteps on the carpet in the outer suite. A moment later, the door to the bathroom swung open a few inches, and Lena’s face appeared in the gap, her expression a mix of hesitation and concern."Kendra," Lena called out softly, holding u

  • Late Night Deliveries: The After Hours   COLLATERAL DAMAGE

    Professor Reed’s POVOutside, the academic term was marching steadily toward its final stretch, but inside, my desk was buried under a mountain of grading rubrics and mid-semester evaluations that I had been ignoring for the better part of an hour.Instead of reading bluebooks, my laptop screen was glowing with an open tab of the university student forum—a digital cesspool that I usually avoided like a plaque-infested marshland. But today, the chatter had breached professional containment.My phone vibrated sharply against the polished wood of the desk. I glanced down at the screen, saw Kane’s contact flash, and swiped to answer immediately, holding the receiver to my ear without bothering to look up from the screen."Tell me you aren't hearing what's currently tearing through the campus network," I murmured, my voice tight with a cold, simmering irritation."I'm looking at it right now," Kane’s deep, controlled voice came through the line, carrying an edge of sharp, calculated disple

  • Late Night Deliveries: The After Hours   SANCTUARY AND SECRETS

    Lena’s POVAfter she finally stopped sobbing on the hardwood floor, I took control of the situation. I didn't let her think; I didn't let her open her phone. I walked her to the bathroom, washed the tear tracks from her face, and helped her sift through her closet until we pulled out a comfortable, oversized black cashmere sweater, dark tailored trousers, and soft leather boots—an outfit that felt like armor, something that could shield her fragile skin from the harsh, judging world outside these walls.While she finished dressing, I pulled out my phone and booked a suite at The Luminary, a quiet, upscale boutique hotel downtown known for its absolute privacy. We needed to get away from the apartment, away from the campus echoes, and entirely out of range of the digital noise.Within fifteen minutes, a ride-share pulled up quietly outside our building.The ride downtown was a tense, silent blur. Kendra stared blankly out the tinted window, her arms tightly crossed over her chest, watc

  • Late Night Deliveries: The After Hours   THE MONSTER WE MADE

    Clara’s POV My mother had gone out to run errands, the house was entirely quiet, and I was supposedly safe behind the locked door of my room, nursing the heavy, complicated guilt of the lie I had told just earlier.Instead, my skin felt hot, and a persistent, nervous hum vibrated just beneath my ribs.I was sitting at my desk, staring blankly at an open civil procedure textbook, trying and failing to absorb a single word. My phone lay face-up right beside the laptop, silent, dark, and utterly ominous.When the sharp, sudden chime of a text message broke the silence, I jumped nearly an inch out of my chair.My hand moved mechanically, snatching up the device. The screen lit up with an incoming call from an unknown, unlisted number. My heart skipped a beat. A cold, heavy stone settled squarely in the pit of my stomach. I didn't need caller ID to know who it was. Or at least, I knew the kind of person on the other end.With trembling fingers, I slid my thumb across the screen and brough

  • Late Night Deliveries: The After Hours   CRASHING DOWN

    Kendra’s POV I didn't know how long I had been sitting on the cold hardwood floor of the living room, curled into a tight, pathetic ball with my arms wrapped around my bare legs. The damp towel I had grabbed in a panic was long since dry, stiff against my skin, but I couldn't bring myself to stand up, let alone put on clothes. The digital noise of the world was still echoing in my head—the mocking notifications, the laughing emojis, the cruel realization that hundreds of people were passing around my humiliation like a digital trophy.My phone lay abandoned on the coffee table a few feet away, thankfully silent for the moment, though its black screen felt like a sleeping monster waiting to wake back up.A sharp, urgent rapping echoed against the front door.Knock. Knock. Knock.I flinched violently, pressing my face harder against my knees. I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't want to hear expressions of pity, or questions about whether the rumors were true, or words of comfort that
