PERFECT.

The explosion had reduced the east wing of J\&A Legal into a smoldering wreck. Twisted steel dropped and fell like broken ribs, and fragments of glass littered the hallways. The stubborn flame had been extinguished by the Fire crew, leaving behind only acrid smoke and sirens, loud in the distance.

But Jerry Clark didn’t blink.

Even as paramedics rushed in and frightened employees came out under emergency blankets, his voice cut through the chaos with sharp clarity.

“Is everyone accounted for?” he spoke loudly into his earpiece as he paced through the black sooted lobby, eyes scanning for the only face that mattered.

“Yes, sir,” the head of internal security responded. “All present. Ms. Aria’s is still okay and no injuries no injuries reported from anyone sir.”

Jerry’s spine finally loosened by an inch. Relief surged through him—but only briefly. Then came the surge of something colder. Rage. And the iron-clad resolve that followed.

“Lock it down,” he said tightly. “No one ent

    The Baited Trap.Jerry moved across the war room like a man threading through invisible tripwires, every step measured. His eyes flicked from the digital map on the wall to the string of open files on the central table. “This won’t work unless we make them think they’ve already won.”Aria didn’t move from her post by the window. The skyline blinked in the distance, but her gaze was inward, sharp. Her arms stayed folded, jaw tense. “They’ve already sniffed out the tech wing,” she muttered. “It won’t take much to sell the illusion. But that’s not enough for me.”He paused, watching her.“I want names, not shadows,” she continued. “I want them dragged out, not just scared into silence.”Jerry turned, his voice low but pulsing with edge. “Then we give them exactly what they’re looking for, a fracture. Just deep enough to pull them in.”Aria turned to face him, the light catching the glint of frustration in her eyes. “You’re talking about bait. A planted vulnerability. You really think th

    The Quiet Betrayal."Betrayal doesn't roar, have you ever noticed it?" Aria’s voice was barely louder than the wind blowing through the rooftop garden.Leaning on the railing beside her, Jerry didn't answer right away.“No. It whispers, smiles, and signs its name like a friend.”Aria exhaled slowly. “That blog post... it knew too much. Not just details. Intention.”“You think it's someone personal.”“I know it.”“We’ve been focused on enemies outside the walls. Maybe we forgot to look at the ones inside.” she said while turning to face him, her hands holding the edge of the railing firmly.Downstairs, Isabelle strode into the innovation wing with clipped heels and tighter lips. A list of ten names in her hand. People who had access to the IP address Philip flagged.She handed the list to Elena, Aria’s executive assistant. “Start with these. I want recent access logs, device trails, and metadata. Quietly.”Elena nodded but hesitated. “You think of one of them…”“I don’t think so. I ch

    Shadows Between UsTracing the rim of her coffee mug, she asked in a low voice, "Did you ever miss me?" Glancing up from the spreadsheet he’d been half-studying, Jerry said, “Miss what?”“The war. The chaos. That... edge.”Leaning back on the chair, considering. “I miss the clarity it forced. The way everything felt urgent. Like every breath mattered.”Aria nodded slowly. “Yeah. That part.”The city pulsed with distant light which could be seen from outside the window as silence stretched between them, heavy but not uncomfortable.“Does that make us broken?” she asked.“No,” Jerry said. “It makes us aware. There’s a difference.”There was something unreadable in her eyes as she looked at him. “Sometimes I feel like we’re pretending to be normal people now.”He smiled faintly. “You think normal people build empires on the ashes of betrayal?”She laughed, short and sharp. “Fair point.”He stood, walked over to her, and brushed her hair from her cheek. “Pretending, I'm not sure you are

    What We Don't Say“Why are you looking at me like that?” Aria asked, cutting into her pancakes with exaggerated focus.Leaning back on the chair, Jerry with a lazy grin playing at the corners of his mouth. “Because you said yes.”“Don't be full of yourself, I haven’t signed a contract yet.”He chuckled. “Should I draw one up?”Aria's smirk betrays her amusement, as she shot him sideways glance. “Don’t tempt me. I’ve written scarier terms than most prenups.”“Now that’s the woman I fell for.”As the early morning sun rose, giving off a light, their laughter, loud and smooth, drifted across the rooftop, as the breeze teased Aria’s curls loose from her messy bun.Jerry raised his head, while sipping his coffee. “You’re not nervous?”She paused. “Should I be?”“I don’t know. You’ve fought wars bigger than most people can imagine. I thought maybe love would be the one battlefield you’d avoid.”Her fork hovered in the air. “I did avoid it. For a long time.”Jerry’s gaze softened. “So what

    The Echo of AshesThe aftermath of victory didn’t taste like champagne. It tasted like silence, the kind that filled the empty corners of Aria’s life now that her greatest war was over.Two days had passed since Regina’s public disgrace. News outlets continued to analyze every second of the footage. Aria had become a reluctant symbol, of strength, of rebirth, of calculated revenge.In the places no cameras could see, just behind the scenes, she stood in front of her mother’s gravestone. All alone.The morning breeze blew the strand of hair that had escaped her scarf. She held a bouquet of white lilies in her hand and knelt down slowly.“I did it, Mom,” she said barely audible. “I broke the chains. I ended the story the way I should have started it. But why does it still feel like something’s missing?”The wind offered no answer. Only quiet acceptance.---Jerry sat across from his board members, the final signatures confirming the full merger. The Westford-Caden Alliance was now the l

    Deal is done.The morning sun rose, as hot as a burning furnace, piercing through the mist clinging to the skyline. In the penthouse war room of Westford Enterprises, silence reigned, not from fear, but more accuracy, the calm before the final blow.Aria holding her tablet in hand, as she stood at the head of the head of the glass conference table,her eyes locked on the screen. The final draft of their official press statement blinked at her in silence.Jerry entered moments later, phone pressed to his ear. “Push the board meeting forward an hour,” he said, voice firm. “And make sure legal has Regina’s ledger on standby.”He ended the call, gaze meeting hers."Everything’s in place."Aria nodded. “Then let’s strike."With one tap, the press statement went live.Within minutes, the media exploded.Westford CEO Speaks Out: Aria Caden Breaks Silence on Vane Scandal.In the video, Aria appeared calm, articulate, and unapologetic. She didn’t slander Regina by name. She didn’t have to. Inst
