There are lives built brick by brick. And then there are the moments when one watches the structure tilt, and realises that gravity is no longer a theoretical force but an executioner with perfect aim. Wren was living in the space between architecture and avalanche, which was that terrible pause before everything came down.

She knew that someone had set her up. There was no other truth than that. The question now was who. And that question had too many possible answers. Bianca. Agnes. Simone. Anthonia. Including whatever other hidden monster was out there seeking her downfall. Oh, and there was Felix. She had to doubt him too. What if his newfound behaviour towards her was all calculated?

And ever since the whole thing happened Wren hadn’t even been back to Ellington Industries. She had raised the bar and everyone now trusted her, and looked up to her as someone who would bring the branch to where it had never been before. She couldn’t bear the weight of going back there after they mu

    They started dancing around and Wren was busy stumbling over her own feet and cackling every time she messed up. Kael guided her patiently, his smile never waning as he watched her giggle and spin enthusiastically.“You’re terrible at this,” he said, smiling. He continued to lead her around the room.“I know!” Wren laughed, nearly tripping again. “But it’s fun!”They kept dancing all over the place, even tripping things over at some point. Wren’s laughter filled the room, and for those few minutes, Kael allowed himself to forget that this was work, and that he was there with her. She was hardly ever like this, and he was glad to be a witness to it.When the song ended, Wren was breathless and grinning. “That was amazing.”They moved from dancing to having a drinking competition of two rounds of drinks“Shot for shot. Whoever taps one first loses,” Wren raised her glass.&

    Eight months ago today, Wren Austin signed the final papers that dissolved her marriage. She remembered walking out of that courthouse with nothing but pure relief…as well as a bit of emptiness. Because this is what becomes the result when the person you thought you’d grow old with turns out to be a stranger wearing a wedding ring. And you wake up one morning and realise you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way, for the illusion of…love?And then she heard from her father after years of silence. He offered her the position of Vice President of Ellington Innovations. It had been eight years of keeping her distance from Jonathan Ellington, and refusing his money and his influence and his attempts to pull her into the family empire. Safe to say a divorce had a way of making one reconsider one's principles.Wren didn’t take the position because she forgave him for his misdeeds. She just needed an alternative to drowning in her sense of purpo

    PRESENT DAYIt was with every bit of rage that Bianca could muster that she kicked Felix in the balls. He let out a sharp groan, his knees buckled instantly, and the force sent him staggering backwards into his apartment, one hand diving between his legs.“HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?!” Bianca screamed at the top of her voice.She pounced on Felix before he even fell to the ground and went on to tighten her hands around his throat, and she squeezed with everything she had.“How could you?! HOW COULD YOU?!”Felix’s face was already turning red and his eyes were watering as he grabbed at her wrists to pry her off. But Bianca was still holding on strong and sobbing profusely.“You recorded me!” she shrieked. “You recorded me and you kept it! What kind of person does that?!”“You’re such a backstabber,” she sobbed. “I can’t believe I trusted you…how could you eve

    FLASHBACKIt was a cosy kind of quiet in the room.Bianca played with the dark hairs on Felix’s chest, resting her head on his arm, while their legs were tangled under the bedsheets.“Do you want to go see her?” He asked, apparently from a conversation they’d been having.Bianca’s finger stopped moving on his chest and she mumbled inaudibly before answering in a distant voice, “I’m not sure I want to. She wouldn't recognise me anyway.”Felix let his hand move to her shoulder as he then brushed her skin absently with his thumb.“It’s just…” Bianca exhaled, “It’s a shame, you know? After all her grand dreams and all the things she wanted, she’s just there in that place, living a wasted life.”Felix was quiet for a while, his pulse rising and falling under her cheek. Then he said, “Do you mind if I pry a little?”Bianca tilted her head up

    He closed his eyes, exhaled, and opened the door.Bianca’s face was filled with painful relief when she saw him. Finally, she found him.“What do you want, Bianca?”Her eyes were glassy, her voice breaking as she spoke. “I just…I just want to talk. Please…I need to explain…”“There’s nothing to explain.”“Felix, please.” Her tears spilt over and ran down her cheeks. “I know I messed up…I know I….I made a huge mistake, but we can still get through this. Let’s just go in and talk about how we’ll solve this.”“I told you! Nothing to talk about.”“Yes, there is!” Her voice rose. “We have everything to talk about! Baby, you can’t just shut me out because of a silly mistake I made.”Felix scoffed. “You’re pathetic. You still see all of this as a silly mistake? You’re not ev

    She walked quickly into the noisy law firm, with a satin scarf around her hair and huge sunglasses sitting on her face, looking like someone who wanted to disappear in broad daylight. Not that anyone paid her much attention anyway, as everyone else was trying to get on with their work for the chaotic day. She continued down a narrow hallway to a shared office space where four lawyers worked elbow-to-elbow. Their desks were crammed into a room that was generous for two people and claustrophobic for four. A couple of junior associates sat hunched over laptops. An older woman with reading glasses perched on her nose was on the phone.The woman in the scarf headed straight for the corner desk, where a man in his mid-forties was stacking papers into some semblance of order.She dropped into the chair in front of his desk and leaned closer to it with an agitated whisper.“Why didn't you come to my place yesterday as you promised?”The man looked up from what he was doing and squinted at her
