LOGINDaniel’s POVI didn’t move for a long time after the screen went dark.The office was quiet again, exactly the way it had been before the file appeared, but it didn’t feel the same. The silence had weight now. It pressed in me slowly, settling around everything, and it made it impossible to pretend that nothing had changed.Because something had.I was still standing behind the desk, with one hand resting against the edge, the other hanging loosely by my side, but there was nothing loose about it. My grip tightened without me realizing it, and the tension settled into my fingers like it needed somewhere to go.Eunice knew not just about Jocelyn. Not just about my operations.She knew something else. Something she shouldn’t have been able to reach.I looked back at the screen, still blank, still dark, but the image from moments ago hadn’t left. It stayed clear in my head, not because of the man she had taken, but because of the way she spoke. The tone. The pauses. The deliberate way sh
Daniel’s POVI knew something had shifted before anyone told me.I was in my office going through some updates that didn’t matter as much as they used to. Everything had been tightened since the warehouse. Every access point monitored, every contact double-checked, every possible angle accounted for. I had made sure of that myself, because after what happened, I wasn’t leaving anything open again.The room was still, the kind of stillness that comes when everything is under control on the surface, but underneath it, there’s always something waiting to move.So when my system flagged an incoming file that wasn’t routed through any of my secured channels, I didn’t ignore it. I looked at it but there was no sender and no traceable entry point.It was just a file sitting there. That alone already told me enough.This has to be Eunice. No one but her could do this.No one else would send something like this without a signature and still expect it to be opened. No one else would get this fa
Jocelyn's POVIt wasn't news that my life was a chaotic mess. I went from living an ordinary life to fighting men, old enough to be my father during meetings everyday. If I wasn't getting kidnapped on an ordinary day, those men would be searching for ways to tear me to shreds. I couldn't think of what my life would look like in the future. However, in all of these chaos, there was something I didn't fail to notice. Now, this may be a little misplaced but Daniel's attitude seemed to have taken a quick bit almost invisible change. I mean, I'd always noticed him in every way. I knew most of the things he did and I knew him to be a tough, relentless person but these days, I was starting to perceive a change in his attitude and general outlook. I mean, we were on the same page about Eunice and getting our revenge on her but beyond that, other things were starting to come up at the company that requires regular meetings and during these meetings, I was starting to notice a different
Eunice’s POVShe finally came to her senses. After wasting time and resources, pacing and rambling all over the house like a deranged person, Clarissa has finally realized that she was playing a losing game and if she continued, she would fail so terribly. Her eyes followed me to where I was standing. I knew she was desperate to know what I had planned. Of course I had something planned for Daniel and Jocelyn. They were my main target but I also had something planned for Clarissa herself.I had no plans of letting her know until I was done getting my revenge on Daniel and that little bitch. Her desperation would be the exact thing I would use against her. I pulled out a sheet of paper from my pocket, just a tiny piece of paper compared to the scroll she used for her failed mission. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw the paper. She glanced at me, the paper then back at me. “What's that?” She asked with sheer curiosity in her eyes. I sighed deeply. Her mouth would get us into a f
Clarissa's POV Shit! My plan failed. I never thought I would say those words but with all the messages I was getting from my informants, it was clear that my plan had failed. The media hit was supposed to push her to the ground even harder, make it hard for her to show her face in public, even outside her house. But it didn't. Instead, she got bolder. More confident. Even more than she was before the attack happened. I was in my living room again, pacing around like someone on the verge of losing their mind. I was on the verge of losing my mind, if I hadn't lost it. I just couldn't think of anything else to do to hurt her. That bitch would just not die. Ugh! Rage pumped through every inch of my body and had me wishing I could just wipe her out in some sort of way. But I couldn't. And I was running out of ideas on things to do to hurt her. As usual, Eunice was in the living room. Her recovery process was slower so she spent more time here just smoking away like an exhaust p
Jocelyn's POV The members of the board called and I answered. I got an email requesting my presence at the office. They claimed our company is losing so much money and suffering losses on all ends. I had no idea what Daniel was doing but I trusted him and if I had to defend his actions with the board, I was ready to do it without thinking twice. As I buttoned my blazer that morning, I stared at the mirror with a grim look on my face. I was no longer crying or wallowing in self pity. I wasn't going to let the actions of a psychotic human being knock me to the ground. I pinned a gold, relic brooch to my pink blazer and smirked at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was done perfectly in wavy flows, my makeup looked like I had forty eight hours of beauty sleep. Everything I wore that morning was fresh out of designer bags. As I sprayed my perfume, the headline from the news flashed through my head again. “Such a loser move.” I whispered and smiled. I stepped out of my room wi
JOCELYN’s POV“You should take that.” Daniel said, pointing at the phone that was vibrating on the edge of the table where I’d placed it.I looked at the phone and reached towards it slowly, wishing it would stop ringing before I reached it. Wasn’t it common courtesy that once you’ve called twice,
DANIEL’s POVI turned off the engine and sighed again, checking my watch. My wife had just kept me waiting for over twenty minutes. At a point, I’d considered going inside to confirm she hadn’t collapsed or fainted on the way. It had taken exactly two seconds to perish the thought, and now I’d gone
ETHAN’s POV“And she had the guts to tell me not to work on the design again. Sure, she said it in that fake nice tone but still. The people I’d taken my time to convince, how could she do this to me. She’s totally ruining my plans.” Clarissa whined and I nodded automatically.“Babe.” She called, s
JOCELYN’s POVDarius, the logistics head cleared his throat. “No matter how much or hard we work, I don’t think it will be possible for this show to hold next month. There are things that just cannot work. There are currently shipping delays, we have two key materials stuck in custom and I don’t th
