The drive home from the Waldorf felt like floating on air, I could not stop talking about every single detail of the evening while Dorian listened with an amused smile playing at his lips.I replayed conversations with Elena Petrova, recounted the business cards I had collected, and kept circling back to the moment when everyone stood up to applaud my presentation."Did you see the way that venture capitalist from Silicon Valley practically begged me to

MitchelleMy eyes kept drifting back to the photograph on the mantelpiece.Something about it refused to let me go. I set down the cupcakes I had brought on the side table and walked slowly toward the fireplace, drawn by a pull I couldn't quite explain or resist.Up close it was even more striking.I reached out carefully and lifted the silver frame from the wall, holding it with both hands directly under the warm lamplight. I tilted the frame slightly, studying every feature with growing disbelief.I was so completely absorbed that I didn't hear the footsteps returning from the kitchen until the woman's voice broke directly through my thoughts."Mrs. Roth," she called warmly, carrying a steaming dish carefully toward the dining table.I spun around sharply, startled, and the silver frame slipped clean through my fingers and hit the floor with a sharp crack, the glass splintered across the polished hardwood in every direction."I'm so sorry," I gasped, dropping immediately to my knees

MitchelleThe documents Elena had sent over were spread across my laptop screen in seventeen separate tabs, contracts, quarterly projections, client proposals, partnership agreements that needed my signature and review before end of business.I had been at it since returning from the hospital with nothing but a cold smoothie and determination keeping me functional.I was halfway through a particularly dense partnership agreement when my phone rang.Danika.I almost let it ring… Almost."Danika, I can't talk right now," I answered immediately. "Elena sent me a mountain of paperwork and I'm completely drowning in it.""This is important," Danika replied, as her voice vibrated with barely contained excitement.Something in her tone made me pause."What is it?" I asked carefully."Close your laptop," Danika instructed.I hesitated, staring at the open tabs, then shut it slowly."Chelley," Danika began, I could hear the smile breaking through every word. "Dariel, or whatever his name actua

JasonMelyn answered the door before I finished knocking, stepping aside to let me in without a word."Welcome," she greeted softly.I stepped inside and pulled her toward me immediately, pressing my lips against hers. She kissed me back without hesitation, her hands rested lightly against my chest.She pulled back and studied my face."Wine?" she offered."Please."She returned with a bottle and a glass. I ignored the glass entirely and took the bottle, tilting it back and drinking deeply."Slow down," Melyn said, watching me carefully. "Are you okay?""I just lost my uncle," I stated, setting the bottle down heavily on the coffee table.Her eyes widened."Dorian Roth is your uncle?" she asked. "It's on the news everywhere.""Yes," I confirmed. "He was like a big brother to me, especially when my father was still alive.""I'm so sorry," Melyn replied quietly, sitting across from me.I rubbed both hands down my face and leaned forward on my knees."You said it was urgent when you text

MitchelleThe obstetrics clinic attached to the private hospital was warm and quietly busy, a stark contrast to the cold empty house I had been sleeping in for weeks. I checked in at the front desk and took a seat among other women at various stages of pregnancy, some alone like me, some with partners beside them.I filled out the registration forms carefully, using my real name but the Geneva address Danika had arranged. When the nurse finally called me back, I followed her into a bright examination room that smelled of antiseptic and something faintly floral.Dr. Beaumont was a gentle woman in her early fifties with kind eyes and a soft manner that immediately put me at ease."First prenatal visit?" she asked, reviewing my forms."Yes," I confirmed."And how far along do you believe you are?""About three months," I replied.She nodded and began the examination, checking my blood pressure, my weight, asking careful questions about my medical history. When she moved to the ultrasound

ChloeThe last of the guests filtered out of the Roth estate just after seven in the evening, leaving behind half-eaten food and whispered condolences that meant nothing to any of us.Diana had arranged for Dorian's personal lawyer to meet with us privately once everyone was gone. We gathered in the main sitting room, myself, Diana, Jason, and Ivy, arranged around the large table while the lawyer, a thin man with wire-rimmed glasses named Mr. Peters, settled into the chair across from us.He opened his briefcase and spread several documents across the table."Thank you all for seeing me during this difficult time," Mr. Peters began carefully. "I'll get straight to the point. Regarding Mr. Dorian Roth's estate, I've reviewed all relevant documentation and I'm afraid there is no formal will on record."I exhaled slowly. Good."However," Mr. Peters continued, adjusting his glasses, "Mr. Roth did designate a next of kin in his official records."Diana leaned forward."And who would that b

ChloeI woke up to sunlight streaming through the bedroom curtains and the satisfying knowledge that everything was finally falling into place. I made my way downstairs to the dining room where breakfast was already laid out on the table.“You are dressed so nicely today, unlike yourself last month,” I told Jason.“Oh please, Chloe, you suck at compliments. All you could say is, ‘You look good, love. You look good, husband.’ Gosh,” he replied.“Compliments? Who’s complimenting you? Last I checked, we were in a loveless marriage, Jason. We…”I was reaching for the coffee pot when my phone rang."Who could be bothering me this early?" I muttered, glancing at the screen.Diana's name flashed across it and I smiled immediately. I answered the call."Good morning," I greeted."Chloe," Diana stated without preamble. "Dorian is dead."My hand froze halfway to my cup."Dorian is dead?" I repeated slowly.Jason looked up sharply from where he had been scrolling through his phone at the other e
