For a long moment, George said nothing. The weight of her words pressed down on him. Finally, he stood and turned toward the window, the skyline reflecting in his hollow gaze.

“I’m not broken,” he said softly, almost to himself. “Just tired. And maybe you should be too.”

But Mira only laughed, a sharp, bitter sound that echoed through the penthouse. “Tired? No, George. I’m awake now. Wide awake. And if you won’t do something about her… I will.”

George turned, alarm flickering in his eyes. “Mira, don’t start something you can’t finish.”

She smirked, stepping closer. “Who said I can’t finish it?”

Her voice softened. “She took everything from us. Maybe it’s time we take something back.

And somewhere across the city, while Astrid and Andrew toasted under warm golden lights, a storm was quietly gathering.

A storm that bore Mira’s name.

    Mira screamed, thrashing wildly as handcuffs snapped around her wrists.“Let me go! You don’t understand!” she cried, her voice sharp and broken.The cops didn’t listen. Mira watched from the corner, shaking. “I didn’t mean, I didn’t mean for it to go this far,” she whispered, her voice trembling.As Astrid was carried out, the cool night air hit her skin. She blinked slowly, the flashing lights blurring her vision.Andrew’s name left her lips in a weak whisper before her eyes shut again.Outside, officers pushed back the small crowd that had gathered. Cameras clicked. Reporters shouted questions, their voices echoing through the chaos.Mira screamed as she was forced into the back of the police car. “She deserved it! She ruined everything!”The officer slammed the door.The ambulance sirens wailed as they sped off toward the hospital. Astrid’s pulse was faint, but still there. *******************The interrogation room was cold, but Mira sat like she owned it.Her wris

Every whisper of a lead vanished into nothing.Mr. Walton pulled every string he could. Old favors. Political connections. He demanded that Mira be brought back for him. But the system didn’t move. Officials hesitated. Lawyers stalled.Because Andrew Thompson was involved.Some claimed Mira was in the U.S., too busy with “business.” Others suggested she’d simply gone silent, changed numbers, lost her phone, disappeared for peace.The whispers didn’t stop there.Some said Astrid had run away.Some said she was hiding after an affair.No one dared believe the truth that Mira had done something unspeakabl

  • Seducing Mr Thompson    You can't be happy

    Weeks later, the world had changed its tune.The same papers that once dragged her through the mud now called her a symbol of resilience.“Astrid Thompson Triumphs Over Corruption.”“From Scandal to Power: The Woman Who Brought Down Brandon.”But behind every headline, behind the glamour and admiration, Astrid felt something hollow.Victory didn’t feel like joy. It felt like release. So sharp yet fragile, and strangely quiet.She spent days reviewing the assets she’d inherited. Among them, one name stood out: The Elysian Hotel - the most prestigious five-star retreat in the country.A place where the elite gathered, where power whispered over champagne, and where deals worth millions were sealed behind closed doors.And now, it was hers. *************************When Astrid walked into the Elysian for the first time as its majority shareholder, the staff lined the lobby in stunned silence.The court had assigned the entire company to her as compensation, she had start
