The news spread fast. By morning, everyone in the city knew.

“The Russell couple passed away.”

The funeral hall was filled with the smell of incense and murmurs.

Taylah stood near the front, dressed in black, her fingers clenched so tight they were almost pale. She didn’t cry. She felt like if she did, she would never stop.

Laurence handled everything.

He spoke to the priest. He signed papers. He answered condolences. His face was calm, yet Taylah knew he was holding it together. Because they w

    “What if my past bothers him?” That was a hard question but Dicentra always had a way of answering with another. “Doesn’t he already know? You practically made headlines back then with the divorce.” Taylah fell silent. Of course, he knew. Maybe not every detail, but enough, at least a vague idea of her marriage. The point was, he knew. “Girl, don’t overthink it. Our paths were never beds of roses, you know that. Give it a try. And if it doesn’t work out, just walk away.” It sounded simple, almost too simple but for the first time, it felt possible. Maybe she should try… try to let someone love her, scars and all. “It’s a big decision for me, Di. But you’ve got me. Thank you.” “Silly, I’m always here for you.” They both laughed, the sound light and warm, before turning their full attention back to the food. Since Ivano had decided to pursue Taylah, it only felt right that she knew more about him. Dicentra sighed softly and began to share. “Ivano… he used to be just a part-tim

    Taylah leaned back in her seat, exhausted, her eyes burning from staring at the screen for too long. Jack cleared his throat, startling her with his sudden presence. Taylah rolled her eyes, silently cursing him. Ever since she had started working closely under him, things hadn’t been easy for her. He had been picking on her for no reason, and she knew exactly why. But she couldn’t complain about it to Laurence, so she chose to see how long he would continue this baseless revenge. “How can I help you, Jack?” “We’re meeting the CEO of Elixor Corporation today.” “That’s sudden, it wasn’t mentioned in the schedule, Jack.” “Do as I say. Don’t question me.” With that, Jack walked off, unbothered by whether Taylah was okay with the meeting or not. Either way, she wasn’t in a position to refuse. At the restaurant Jack and Taylah arrived an hour before the so-called CEO of Elixor Corporation. The entire time, she didn’t utter a single word to him. But at one point, she decided to ask

    Arjan was going through his documents when his assistant, Max, walked into the office as if he owned the place. He didn’t knock, didn’t wait for permission, he simply entered.“Sir, the information you asked me to investigate…” Max said, placing the tablet in front of Arjan so he could review the details he had gathered.Max was a genuine and sincere person, more than just an assistant, he often acted as a part-time decision-maker for Arjan. So when Arjan suddenly asked him to dig into Briga Morris’s information, he was both flabbergasted and confused, since Arjan had never done anything like that before.It took a moment for Arjan to read through all the details about Briga.“Briga Morris, a 25-year-old girl. She is an orphan and half foreigner. Five years ago, she was brought to Lancaster by Sam Lancaster. Her studies, parents, and other details are unknown, but the available information vaguely aligns with the person who claims to be Sam’s secretary.”As Arjan closed the file, Max

    The stadium erupted into thunderous screams, heavy music shaking the entire arena. “Ivano Felipe—the Psycho Reaper!” echoed again and again, bouncing off every corner. Fans went wild over the impossible victory he had just delivered, his gameplay nothing short of breathtaking.The commentators stumbled over their words, still trying to process what had happened—unable to fully accept the defeat they had just witnessed.Ivano and Zander stood on the stage, ready to claim the trophy, when their young teammates rushed in and threw their arms around them.There were no words to describe their happiness. As teenagers, no one had ever believed in them. They had been tossed from one gaming company to another—until Ivano chose them, gave them a place, and trained them relentlessly.Yet, they couldn’t win even a single round before this. Ivano had never truly been angry at them for their losses. Instead, he pulled them into a tight embrace and shouted,“We did it, boys!”And just like that, bo

    Taylah was packing her things, her face clouded with sadness. It had only been a month, yet she already had to deal with this new position—one created exclusively for her. To learn directly from the current CEO of the company. Assistant Executive Officer… how ironic. She had told Laurence not to do anything with her position but here we are, Laurence being Laurence did a whole powerful thing. “Will you be okay, Taylah?” Felix asked. Taylah nodded, taking a deep breath. She even asked those questions to herself, Will she be okay? God knows, whether she will be or not. “Honestly… I don’t know. I’m just scared. I never wanted power or authority.” “It’s okay, Taylah. Everything will be fine.” Aryan tried to cheer her up. Meanwhile, Charlie jumped in between them. “Don’t forget about us, okay? We’re your sweet teammates.” “Of course not. To be honest, you guys never treated me like an outcast. I’m really grateful for that.” “I think you use the word grateful a bit too often. Come

    “Taylah… Taylah… tsk… tsk… tsk. Because of you, I gave up my identity, my face—even my body. How can you have everything when I have nothing?”Her eyes darkened, filled with hatred. She had already set things in motion through Sam, and she was certain it would work within a few days.A few days later…Sam insisted, going against his father, to keep Briga as his secretary. Most of the time, he didn’t even let her work.She had the perfect pawn in her hands, yet she still burned with jealousy toward Taylah, who had struggled all her life. The vengeance and wicked thoughts festering in her heart consumed her, slowly dragging her into something far more vicious.“Today, we have a meeting scheduled with the Davier company, but they’ve only given us one hour.”Briga said this while looking at Sam for an answer. She had never expected Arjan to be the one who initiated the meeting—and for an unknown reason.“I didn’t arrange the meeting. It’s up to them whether they want an hour or two.”Sam

    Somewhere in the city…“Briga, are you there?” Sam entered the bedroom, calling out a woman’s name.“Sam, you’re here, baby.” A girl who looked exactly like Taylah rushed out and hugged Sam Lancaster, the young master of the Lancaster family.Sam Lancaster, one of the most eligible bachelors in the

    Taylah genuinely enjoyed the dinner with her coworkers. The trio was lively, and Felix had a hard time keeping them in check. As she spent time with them, she learned they had all studied at the same university, each a year apart. Somehow, their energy felt the same, and that was what kept them tog

    After spending some quality time together, Dicentra left, and Taylah stayed behind. Taylah wandered around the neighborhood for a while before buying herself some beer. She made her way to the terrace of her apartment building and sat in a quiet corner. The sudden breeze felt cold, sending goosebu
