~~Jay~~

Watching him meltdown like this reminded me of me… only less loud, less messy. But still it was me, staring at him like a damn mirror I didn’t ask for.

He was taking it pretty well, honestly. At least better than I expected. If it were me on his side, I’d be climbing the walls, probably breaking things, screaming at the ceiling, “Why me?” You know the usual Jay Hale brand of dramatics.

But Alex? No. He just looked gutted, like someone had ripped out his soul and left him standing in the ruins. Strong. Silent. Dangerous. The kind of meltdown that doesn’t explode it simmers. And simmering scares the hell out of me.

Truth is… I wouldn’t have called him if I had any other choice. If there was even one other person left to turn to, I would’ve swallowed this madness down and suffered alone.

But my big sister is nowhere to be seen.

If only Lena was here. God, I hope she’s okay.

I don’t even know what the hell’s going on with the outside world anymore. Lena logged me off everything my

    ~~Jay~~My happiness can be comprehend with just words…. But Alex voice brought me back to reality.“Jay,” he said, low, cautious.“Hmmm?” I answered, blinking up at him. My voice was weaker than I wanted it to be.“There’s… some people.”I frowned. “Some people?”He hesitated. I hated when Alex hesitated. It meant whatever he was about to say was worse than the way he wanted to say it.“Alex,” I pressed, my chest tightening, “what are you trying to say?”He finally met my eyes, his jaw rigid. “The Yakuza mafia family is looking for Lena.”For a second, the words didn’t land. Then they did, and I felt a cold ripple shoot straight through me. Why will they be looking for Lena.“Oh,” I muttered, leaning back into the pillows. “That’s… grandpa’s family.” I tried my best to make it look like all this was ok with from within but no it wasn’t…. The last time I checked mom cut all ties with Yakuza clan for reasons best known to her, why are they helping with the search for Lena… if they are

  • Mr. President Has A Baby Bump   Ninety-one

    ~~Jay~~The first thing I registered was the weight in my chest. Not pain, not sharp like before, but heavy, like something had been sitting on me all night. The second thing was the faint warmth on my hand fingers curled around mine, steady, grounding.I blinked through the haze until the blur sharpened. Alex.He was right there, leaning too close, his eyes carrying the kind of storm people only wore when they’d already cried in private. I tried to wet my lips, but my throat scraped like sandpaper.“The babies…” My voice came out broken, a whisper that barely reached him. But his head jerked up immediately, eyes burning into me.“What~~ what happened after I blanked out?” I forced out, even though my lungs hated me for it. My mind clawed at fragments blood, fear, his arms trying to hold me together but after that, nothing. Just the dark.Alex’s hand tightened around mine. For a second, his jaw clenched like he was swallowing down something jagged.“They’re still here,” he said finall

    ~~Alex~~The hospital room was quiet, almost unnaturally so. Machines hummed in their steady rhythm, and Jay’s chest rose and fell in gentle waves. Watching him sleep like this calm, untouched by pain for once settled something jagged inside me. For the first time in days, my lungs remembered how to breathe.I lingered longer than I meant to. Every part of me wanted to stay, but a different part knew I had work to do the kind of work no one else could know about.I stepped out into the corridor, shutting the door softly behind me, and pulled out my phone.“Get me my stand-in assistant,” I ordered.It didn’t take long. A few minutes later, her voice came through the line, crisp and ready. “Yes, President?”“I need you to listen carefully. This is not a standard request,” I said, keeping my voice low even though the hall was empty. “Right away after this call, you’ll prepare a private medical wings the one at my new address. I want it fully equipped with everything a… pregnant person mi

    ~~Ethan~~To say I wasn’t frustrated with this whole circus would be the biggest lie of my career.I’ve served the President long enough to know chaos follows him like a shadow but ever since he got tangled with the Hale siblings, it’s been one disaster after another.And now? I don’t even know what the hell is going on.President Jay call a few days back ended with the alpha team killing people and now my own President hovering over him like the man was glass, like he’d shatter if the wind blew too hard. It was… irritating, watching Alex treat another man like some fragile egg when I knew for a fact he wasn’t fragile at all. The President Jay I know was the scariest being after my president that I know…. He shouldn’t have to bend for anyone, and yet here we are.And then there was this mess.My young Miss Dahlia the spoiled brat with a mouth as sharp as knives and the Vice President Lena I don’t really know much about her other than she the quite one in the Hale family. Two different

    Third Person POVEthan stood at the foot of the jet’s stairs, his posture sharp and his voice clipped as he faced the Alpha team that just landed into the country.“Orders are clear,” he said. “Escort Vice President Lena and Young Miss Dahlia to different locations until the President arrives. No exceptions.”The men nodded, splitting into their assigned positions. But before they could move, Dahlia’s voice sliced through the air from inside the jet.“You have got to be kidding me, Ethan.” She stormed down the steps, fury flashing in her eyes. “Why aren’t we in New York? Where the hell is this place?”Ethan opened his mouth to answer, but another voice smooth, lazy, dangerous in its charm cut him off.“Cutie, chill,” Nina drawled, trailing after her with that infuriating smirk. “You’ve been getting angry repeatedly. Bad for your blood pressure.”Dahlia spun to glare at her, but Nina was already turning her attention to Ethan, with her eyes glittering with mischief as she leaned agains

    Third Person POV The corridor outside the VIP wing still hummed faintly with the echoes of chaos nurses murmuring, wheels of carts rattling, the hush of staff who knew a President’s grief was heavier than any medical code.Inside James’s office, the air was different. Heavy. Stifling.James dropped into the leather chair behind his desk, his elbows digging into the wood as he pressed both hands hard against his face. It’s has been the longest night of his life and a new day just started and he was already tired. He hadn’t even exhaled when the door creaked open.A younger doctor stepped in, shutting it quietly behind him. His eyes darted once to the floor before he spoke, low and uneasy.“Doctor James… I don’t think it was right for you to lie to President Alex.”James lowered his hands slowly, his gaze sharp. “I didn’t lie,” he said flatly. “I omitted.”“That’s still lying, doctor.”James’s laugh was harsh, bitter. “And what exactly would you have me do, huh?
