“You look terrible.” Victor muttered with a chuckle as he dropped into the chair across from my desk.

I shot him a flat look. “I pay you to work for me, not to insult me before nine in the morning.”

That only made him laugh harder.

Ignoring him, I sank into my chair with a tired groan.

Every muscle in my body ached from lack of sleep.

Victor took one look at me and slid a cup of coffee across the desk. “Rough night?”

I accepted the coffee gratefully and took a long sip. “You have no ide

    ORION Standing beside the floor-to-ceiling glass partition, I silently watched the man lying in the hospital bed.His body was almost completely swallowed by crisp white sheets.Clear tubes snaked across his chest while wires connected him to a collection of machines that filled the room. The ventilator hissed softly with every assisted breath, a reminder that, despite everything, he was still alive.Barely.Mrs. Robertson stood beside me, both hands pressed against the glass as tears welled in her eyes.“Thank you so much, Mr. Blackmoor,” she said quietly. “I don’t know how we’ll ever repay you.”I kept my eyes on the man inside the room.“Your husband was a good man,” I replied. “He and my father shared a great deal of mutual respect. They worked together for years, and my father trusted him.”My gaze lingered on the unconscious figure.“When I heard he’d suddenly sold all his shares before ending up in a suspicious accident, I knew something wasn’t right.”Nothing about this makes

    DESMOND“Do you have anything on the person I asked you to investigate, Victor?” I asked, rolling the cue stick between my fingers.He’s taking much longer than usual. That alone tells me this isn’t an easy search.“I managed to track down the police officer who was originally assigned to the case,” Victor replied. “But instead of investigating it, he advised Mrs. Grey to let the matter go and stop pursuing it.”My hand froze halfway through the shot.The cue ball remained untouched as I slowly straightened, narrowing my eyes.“He just… walked away from the case?” I asked, making sure I heard him correctly.“Pretty much.”I finally leaned forward again and struck the cue ball. It rolled across the green felt, knocking another ball into the corner pocket with a satisfying clack.“What about the accident scene?” I asked, watching the remaining balls settle into place. “Any photographs? Reports? Physical evidence? Anything that could still point us in the right direction?”Victor release

    ORIONWhat are you doing about the press?” Mum demanded the moment she stormed into the discussion I was having with Angel and Cartier.Sasha stepped in a second later, closing the door quietly before taking her place beside Mum.Cartier slowly pushed back his chair and rose to his feet. Without saying a word, he began gathering the files spread across the conference table, clearly preparing to excuse himself and give us privacy.“Sit.”This meeting isn’t ending because my mother decided to barge into my office and throw one of her tantrums.Cartier hesitated for only a second before quietly lowering himself back into his chair, placing the files where they had been.“You haven’t answered my question, Orion,” Mum snapped impatiently. “What exactly are you planning to do about this? Every newspaper is tearing this company apart.”I leaned back in my chair, studying her.“And I’m supposed to discuss that in front of someone who isn’t part of this meeting? A stranger?”My gaze shifted br

    EUDORAI woke up to an empty bed.Still caught somewhere between sleep and reality, I let out a quiet yawn and stretched lazily beneath the warm blankets. Out of habit, my hand drifted across the mattress toward Orion’s side of the bed, expecting to feel the familiar warmth of his body.Instead, my fingers met nothing but cold sheets.The fabric had already lost every trace of his body heat.That alone told me he hadn’t just stepped out a few minutes ago. He had been gone for quite some time.Slowly, I pushed myself into a sitting position and rubbed both hands over my face, trying to chase away the stubborn sleep clouding my mind. I have my brain few seconds to reboot and when it did, the events of last night came back to me.Sometime in the middle of the night, I had felt soft lips brush against my forehead. Half asleep, I heard Orion whisper that Cartier had called him about something urgent at the office. He had apologized for waking me before quietly slipping out of bed.Staring

    ORIONBy the time I pulled into the driveway of the West Building, the entire area had already turned into a circus.Police vehicles and emergency response trucks crowded every available space, their flashing red and blue lights painting the night in an eerie glow. Beyond the barricades, the driveway was packed with reporters, paparazzi, bloggers, and camera crews, all pushing against one another in their desperate search for a headline. They weren’t here for answers. They were here to find someone to blame.The moment my car came to a stop, dozens of cameras swung in my direction.I barely had one foot outside before microphones were shoved toward my face.“Mr. Blackmoor!”“Mr. Blackmoor, over here!”“Sir!”Questions came flying at me from every direction before I could even straighten my jacket.Thankfully, my security team reacted immediately. They surrounded me in a tight protective circle, creating just enough space for me to move without being swallowed by the aggressive crowd.

    ORIONThe relentless ringing of my phone dragged me out of sleep.For a few seconds, I refused to open my eyes. I was too comfortable, too wrapped up in the warmth of Eudora’s body pressed against mine. She was curled around me and the moment I pull myself free, there is a chance of waking her, and after everything she has been through, I treasured every peaceful moment I got with her. Seeing her sleep so peacefully was something I don’t want to interrupt.But the phone continued to ring.My eyes slowly opened as I stared at the glowing screen on the nightstand. A call at three in the morning was never a good sign. Nobody called at this hour unless something had gone seriously wrong.“Who is calling?” Eudora mumbled sleepily beside me.Leaning down, I pressed a gentle kiss against her forehead before carefully sliding my hand out of her hair.“Must be Cartier,” I whispered.That man had absolutely no understanding of time when work was involved. To him, three in the morning and three

    EUDORA“What exactly is happening here?” I asked, my voice shaking as my eyes stayed fixed on Camellia. “How… how is she even here?”She didn’t look the least bit bothered. With a bored sigh, she slid off the desk and smoothed out her dress like this was all normal. “I thought you said she wouldn’t

    EUDORAI believed I could live and die with the secrets of what really happened that night between Desmond and me a month ago, but the two pink lines on the pregnancy stick in my shaky fingers mocked me.My knees wobbled, my hands trembling as I slid down the cold toilet tiles, cradling my head as

    EUDORAAlready dressed for work, I grabbed my purse and headed downstairs with the plan to grab a quick breakfast before leaving, but I ran into mum in the hallway instead.“You’re going to work?”Obviously. “Yes.”She folded her arms, looking at me like I was doing something foolish. “The wedding
