LOGIN"Repeat what you just said," Travis asked, eyes narrowing as he stared at the screen.He was trying to listen and stare at the screen at the same time."We can't get a concrete location. But we just discovered that this doctor knows about identity," came the response.Everything was getting more complicated than he had expected."Damn it!" Travis grumbled under his breath.He wanted to scream and just lose it, but he had to keep it together."Travis?" the guy called."Yes, I am here." Travis muttered in response.“We got your feedback from Alex about intensifying our search for Doctor Athena. We had to look for other options, and we were able to discover this doctor.” Came the response.Travis sighed, remembering he had been the one who told Alex to escalate to the team.“Who is this doctor?” Travis asked, rubbing his temple in frustration.He could feel the onset of a headache as he closed his eyes briefly. He felt the weight of the last few hours weighing on him.“We discovered he i
The sound vibrated through the room, echoing off the walls and settling heavily in the air, wrapping around everything with a quiet kind of dread that no one could ignore."What in the name of God was Father thinking?" Travis exploded, bolting out of the chair.He had sat there up until that moment, forcing himself to listen, letting every word sink into him like something sharp and deliberate, as though he had no choice but to endure it."How the hell does Father tie my position to this? Why would he go to such an extent? Travis asked in frustration.Michael and Elizabeth could not hide their amusement as they exchanged glances.“Unfortunately he is not here for you to ask him,” Elizabeth pointed out.“Let us hear the last part of the sentence, will you?" Michael warned.“Humm, there isn’t really much to it; the last part says that it will be nullified.” The lawyer finished.“Wait a minute, does that mean if Father wakes up after the six-month threshold, then Travis will hold on to h
Travis sat there, the words dropping on him like he was watching an assailant prepared to pierce him with a knife.They did not just land; they lingered, sharp and deliberate, pressing into him with a slow, unbearable weight."If he fails to what?" Elizabeth asked impatiently.Her voice cut through the heavy air with a sharp edge, the impatience in it impossible to hide. She was still almost on the edge of her seat, her posture leaning forward just enough to betray how invested she was in the revealing.The lawyer nodded, sighed deeply, and continued to read:'You will lose your position if you fail to provide an heir.'The words fell to the ground like heavy stones as they hit the room. They did not echo, but the silence that followed made it seem as though they had. There was a moment of shock in the room, one that settled over everyone differently but just as firmly."Oh wow," Michael mumbled in a mixture of surprise and shock.His brows lifted slightly, but the surprise in his exp
Over at Scott’s office, Liora and Lily followed him down the corridor, their steps steady and unhurried.The hallway stretched ahead in a clean, polished line, the faint hum of electronics and distant conversations blending into the background like a quiet rhythm.“Don’t worry, I can see the question written all over your face,” Scott teased, glancing back at them with a knowing smile.His tone was light, almost playful, as though whatever he had to show them carried a kind of pride he was eager to reveal.Then, with a small nod, he added, “We’ll be there soon.”Lily exchanged a brief look with Liora, her brows lifting slightly in silent curiosity, but neither of them said anything. They simply kept walking, their attention fixed on Scott as he led the way with quiet confidence.The further they went, the more the atmosphere began to shift. The general office noise faded, replaced by a more focused stillness that hinted at work needing precision and concentration. Eventually, they cam
Liora’s eyes narrowed a little, her focus sharpening as she leaned closer to the soft glow of Lily’s phone screen.She could hardly make out anything, so she moved closer, her eyes narrowing the more against the glow.The silence of the hall heightened as Liora peerd over Lily’s shoulder. For a brief moment, nothing else seemed to matter but the image right in front of her.“What is that?” Liora asked, her tone calm, though curiosity flickered underneath it.There was a picture of her—clear, unmistakable—standing among a group of doctors, all of them dressed neatly, their expressions composed, almost a little too perfect. The image sat boldly on the face of a flyer, with text that was too small to make out from where she stood.“Looks like a program or something,” Lily said, tilting the phone slightly as if changing the angle would somehow make things clearer.For a split second, Liora had thought it was something else entirely—something more complicated, something she wasn’t quite re
The White family kitchen was unusually quiet, the kind of quiet that didn’t quite feel empty but instead lingered in the air, like it was waiting for someone to break it.The early morning light filtered in softly through the wide windows, casting a gentle glow across the polished counters and neatly arranged utensils.The faint ticking of the wall clock filled the silence, each second stretching just a little longer than usual as the twins stood side by side, their eyes fixed on their mother.They were waiting, waiting for Liora to finish what she had started.“What?” Jane finally asked, her voice cutting through the stillness as she looked between Liora and the twins, clearly missing whatever silent message had just passed.Liora didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she simply raised her brows slightly, her gaze shifting toward the children with a look that said more than words.It was the kind of look that came with routine—something practiced, familiar, and expected.For a second,
When Liora opened her eyes the next day, the morning rays were seeping through the windows, followed by the sound of the city waking up outside.“Damn,” Liora grumbled as she turned.She had fallen asleep on a recliner in her office. Betty has been true to her words and has actually gotten her a pr
Scott instantly pulled the car to a stop, as he had almost cut through a red traffic light.“What do you know?” He asked, turning to face her.“It does not matter now.” She muttered, her voice filled with scorn.“What the f*ck do you mean by 'it doesn’t matter'?" Scott asked, his eyes glaring at he
"What was that?" Liora asked in shock, her hand going to her chest."Mom!" The scream came again, this time clearer."I think you should hear for yourself," Julian replied.Liora could hear the smile in his voice as he moved the phone from his ears.His voice came from a distance as he said, "Say h
The whole room was filled with suspense as Liora stared intently at him.“What else?” Liora asked again.Oscar lifted his hand like a sign for her to hold on as he stood up and walked over to the desk in the room.Liora waited patiently as her eyes followed him from his desk back to the seat in fro
