The day of the board meeting arrived. The directors from the Ministry arrived at the headquarters, and a host immediately ushered them into the grand conference room, where they were to hold the high-stakes meeting.

“President Hayes, it’s so good to see you,” the Senior Director said, stepping forward and shaking Liam's outstretched hand.

“Likewise,” Liam replied smoothly, gripping the older man's hand firmly.

    The day of the board meeting arrived. The directors from the Ministry arrived at the headquarters, and a host immediately ushered them into the grand conference room, where they were to hold the high-stakes meeting.“President Hayes, it’s so good to see you,” the Senior Director said, stepping forward and shaking Liam's outstretched hand.“Likewise,” Liam replied smoothly, gripping the older man's hand firmly.“I hope we are not imposing with this short-notice meeting. “The bosses above wanted to verify our handling of all errors from the previous brief and confirm that everything on your end is progressing well,” the Director stated.At his words, Autumn stiffened in her chair, instantly remembering the grueling issues they had faced in response to the data provided previously. Every single member of the presentation team stiffened as well, the memory of that narrow escape keeping them entirely on edge.“None of that will happen today.” Liam reassured them, “The previous error was a

    Sebastian looked at the screen in front of him with mild amusement. However, there was a hidden hint of genuine annoyance in his eyes as he stared at the glowing laptop. He saw it all; he saw who had gone in and who had gone out of the firm’s private server. It was a specialized back-end feature he had personally insisted on being added to the firm's security network for his own use alone.‘I did commission and design that back-door myself,’ he thought, a flicker of pride surfacing at his own technological ingenuity. But then, his smile faltered. The smug bravado left him as the sudden severity of the situation began to sink in. He stroked his chin in deep, troubled thought, his eyes tracking the digital footprints.He knew exactly what the back-end had disclosed. He saw which keycard was used to gain entry, who had authorized the clearance, and exactly who had gone in to see information that they absolutely should not have touched. Clenching his fist, he felt deeply perplexed by the

    ‘Why do those numbers look familiar?’ She mused to herself as she stared at them. She stared at the numbers written on the document, recognizing them as the same ones that showed evidence of the accounts through which the assets were transferred. ‘A foreign account,’ she mused thoughtfully to herself.The car stopped right in front of the Nexus Corp office building. She paid the cab and zoomed off to her office. “I need to check something,” she whispered to herself.“God, I hope it's not what I am suspecting,” she whispered again as she opened her office door and sat down. She switched on the computer and started typing furiously, never stopping for a moment. She had initially suspected it because the numbers looked familiar, but she knew it was too much of a coincidence to dismiss. In this line of work, you must scrutinize every link or coincidence before dismissing it as something else entirely.Autumn used her computer the moment she arrived at the office. She cross-checked somethi

    Autumn woke up earlier than usual today. She had a mission, and that mission complied with finding out more information regarding Miranda’s will. She had already located the firm that handled it: Barnaby & Associates.She had requested the morning off to attend to this, dedicating more of her time to finding out the reason for this. All of this she wanted to uncover was the truth behind Miranda. This was something she couldn’t put off for long. It was something she had tried to avoid, but it felt like something or someone wanted her to find the truth. ‘Maybe Miranda,’ she said to herself, but shook her head. ‘Or maybe I am afraid of Eric being like his father… doing to me what he did to her,’ she thought, gripping her coat tighter and wrapping her arm around her five-month-old belly.Her early quest to find the law firm was a success, so she opted to book an appointment with the head of the firm. She had read an old news article which stated that a certain man named Anthony Stevenson

    Seated with his back rested flat against the leather seat, his fingers gripping the steering wheel with white-knuckled intensity, Sebastian couldn’t be anything but furious. A wave of anger burned hot in his chest as he stared through the tinted windshield of his parked sedan.“Sir, don’t you think this is a bit too much?” the man in the passenger seat asked hesitantly. He had been noticing Sebastian’s piercing, unblinking gaze aimed directly at the family of three across the school grounds. He watched as Eric, Autumn, and little Fin finally exited the main building, casually chatting with a few other lingering parents who were trying to strike up a polite conversation with them. “Sir... it’s getting a bit too assertive now,” the man added, his voice trembling slightly as he stared at the completely disassociated expression on his boss's face.“I am being too much?” Sebastian turned his head slowly, his eyes pinning the other man to his seat. He spoke with an eerie, unnatural calmness

    It was finally the day of Fin’s school sports festival.Eric stepped out of the car first, dressed in simple dark blue jeans, white sneakers, and a vibrant pink shirt — the exact, uncompromising color the school had requested the parents to wear for the celebration. The tight fabric strained against his broad shoulders and muscular upper torso, drawing immediate attention toward his imposing frame the moment he crossed the threshold.Autumn stepped out right behind him, instantly shivering as a gust of morning wind hit her. “Why would they host a sports competition in this freezing weather? What summered?” she grumbled, pulling her thick coat tighter around her body with her arms crossed defensively over her chest.“Well, it’s just for a day. You will get used to it,” Eric said smoothly. He reached out and pulled the grumpy woman closer to his side, anchoring her against his shoulder to shield her from the wind while holding the eccentric, excited Fin by the finger with his other han

    The " Neon Light" motel she described was even grimmer up close. It was nearly midnight by the time Eric’s tires screeched into the cracked asphalt lot. The place looked like it had seen better days decades ago; now, it was just a graveyard for broken dreams and people who were hiding from life and

    THE VENUEIt was finally the day of the wedding—Chloe’s wedding.The venue, a sprawling botanical garden on the outskirts of the city, was decorated with a level of opulence that only the Kingstons could afford. White roses and hydrangeas cascaded from every archway, crystal chandeliers hung from t

    We talked late into the night, the television long since forgotten. The conversation had drifted from the disaster of the wedding to safer, quieter topics—Finn’s new school, the security protocols for the house, the logistics of living under siege. I yawned, a jaw-cracking sound that I couldn't su

    ​Silence overtook the entire garden. It was a heavy, suffocating silence, the kind that usually precedes a natural disaster. The birds seemed to stop singing; even the wind died down, as if nature itself was holding its breath to witness the carnage.​"Rebecca, how dare you say such things at a ti
