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.

    Jemima rolled her eyes and walked away, refusing to let herself stoop low enough to argue with him.

    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

    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 Davis 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 Davis’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 reachable.He tried agai

    (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 bitterness

    (Author's POV)The sun stranded through the window, brushing against her skin, but Jemima’s eyes stayed shut.She groaned softly before stretching her body, surprised at herself. It was the first time she’d slept this deeply since what happened between her and Davis. That's strange and shocking. She shrugged it off, maybe because she changed environment and even slept in a luxurious mansion.When she finally sat up, she looked up to see a group of maids standing in her room--one by the wardrobe, another holding a tray of breakfast, Mina among them, and a couple more lined up neatly.“Good morning, Mrs. Greyson,” they chorused, bowing at once.Jemima smirked, then let out a small laugh. “It’s Jemima. I told you all yesterday to address me by my name.”“Mrs. Greyson, would you love to have breakfast or—”“Granny, please,” Jemima cut in quickly, looking at the oldest maid, “you don’t have to respect me that way. I’m old enough to be your granddaughter.”“I’m sorry, Mrs. Greyson, but you
