{Priya’s Mansion}

Aaron entered his mother’s luxurious bedroom, carrying a silver tray with a neatly arranged bowl of fruit and two forks resting beside it. He set it down gently on the small marble table near her bed.

Priya glanced at him through the mirror, a faint smile tugging at her red-painted lips. She was rubbing cream over her arms, the sweet scent of her perfume filling the room, and adding a final touch of powder to her already flawless face.

“I brought some fruit,” Aaron said softly, smiling.

Priya arched her brow without turning. “Just fruit? No good news?”

Aaron’s grin widened. “You know me, Mother. I never come empty-handed.”

That earned him a full smile. She closed her makeup case and stood, motioning toward the open balcony. Together, they stepped outside, the night breeze brushing against them, carrying the faint sound of crickets.

“Well?” she asked, crossing her arms.

Aaron leaned against the railing, his lips curling into a smirk as his mind replayed the moment he

  • Married to the CEO    Thirteen

    Jemima rolled her eyes and walked away, refusing to let herself stoop low enough to argue with him. She wasn’t in the mood for his arrogance, nor did she have the energy to prove she wasn’t like those other girls who swallowed just anyhow attitude with silence. She'd surely show him another and that's if they ever meet again. She was determined, seriously determined, once she started working, once she got a stable job and some independence, she would divorce Khalid and finally be free. Free from this sham of a marriage, free from his cold stares and biting words, that thought alone spoils her mood. She hopped onto her scooter, the wind slapping her cheeks as she sped out of the company’s compound and onto the road. Her phone began ringing, and without even checking the caller ID, she answered it, her attention still half on the road. “Hello, Jemima,” came her mother’s warm, delighted voice. “Mother!” Jemima’s lips lifted in an involuntary smile, the first real one she’d had a

    Jemima watched Khalid stride into the lobby, his hands buried casually in his pockets, his steps carrying quiet authority. The chatter died instantly, employees straightened their backs and bowed their heads all except her.She stood where she was, arms crossed, her gaze fixed boldly on him.“Mr. Greyson, she’s at fault! Please don’t fire me!” Evelyn blurted out.“Drag her out,” Khalid said sharply, not even looking in her direction. His gaze slid briefly to Jemima looking cold, his eyes unreadable.Two security guards hurried forward. The woman protested, pleading, but Khalid’s expression didn’t change.“Wait, sir—”He turned to the guards. “When you’re done escorting her out, hand in your badges. You’re both dismissed.”The room went silent. Even Jemima blinked, thrown off guard. He just fired them, because of her?Khalid finally spoke again. “Follow me to my office,” he said to her, then looked at his manager. “Hire two replacements immediately.”Jemima followed without a word, ev

  • Married to the CEO    Eleven

    Khalid's phone rang, breaking the silence in his office. The heavy mahogany desk reflected the afternoon sun, streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, throwing golden light across the pristine glass walls of Greyson Enterprises’ towering headquarters. But Khalid wasn’t admiring the city skyline. His dark eyes were fixed on the screen flashing the name of his lawyer.At that exact moment, the office door opened, and his manager stepped inside, bowing his head slightly.“Sir,” the manager greeted.Khalid raised a brow. “Is she okay?”“Yes, sir. She was followed, as you ordered. She’s on her way to K•D Premiere now.” A chuckle followed, as though the sight amused him.Khalid’s jaw ticked. His fingers drummed once against the polished desk. “Good. Make sure she faces no trouble on her way. Keep your eyes on her, no harm should come to her.” Khalid sipped from his coffee.“Yes, sir.” The manager bowed again and left, closing the door behind him.He exhaled slowly and finally

    The phone slipped from his hand, and Ryan parted his lips in shock He lost his job. He lost Evelyn. He lost his money. Now the only interviews that might have given him a second chance, he lost it too. Everything in Ryan’s life had turned upside down ever since Jemima walked out. He used to laugh at the idea of her being his lucky charm, mocking her quiet belief that she brought light into his dark spaces. But now, in the shadows of his ruined life, he realized that was the truth. She had always been there for him, always shielded his problems, always cared for him more than anyone has ever done. And he had destroyed it all, he chased her away. The silence in his dingy apartment pressed against him like walls caving in. Job rejections piled up like tombstones in his inbox, and his phone buzzed only with debt reminders. Friends had disappeared. And drinking no longer numbed his pain. In desperation, Davis scrolled to Jemima’s number. He pressed the call. Not reachab

    (Priya's mansion) “Mom,” Aaron slammed his hand on the polished table, his jaw tight with rage. “Khalid is refusing to give us a share from the company.” Priya, dressed in an elegant silk gown, lifted her teacup slowly. Her calmness contrasted with the fury in her son’s eyes. “Of course he is,” she murmured, voice sharp. “That man is as stubborn as his mother was. He already has everything. Why won’t he just give us a piece of the company? Just one share!” Aaron’s eyes burned with anger. “I can’t stand it, Mom. He walks around like a king, as if we don’t even exist. I can’t live like this anymore. I need to be inside that company. I need my name written in those files. I deserve it too!” He paced the room, his fists clenched, “Do you know how humiliating it is? Everywhere I go, people whisper about how Khalid Greyson inherited everything. They act like I’m just his shadow. Like I’m nothing.” Priya watched him, her eyes narrowing with quiet calculation. She had carried her
