SHE HAS PLANS...

The next club meeting was at one of the hostesses’estates, an ocean-view mansion draped in white marble and glass, the kind of place built for displaying power rather than living in it.

Abigail arrived with every detail of her appearance chosen deliberately: the soft ivory dress Luke had once said made her look untouchable, diamond studs that caught the light without screaming for attention, and a calm she’d rehearsed in the mirror.

She walked in alone. Luke had insisted that when it came to the club, she had to stand on her own.

The lounge was already buzzing when she entered. Women draped in couture, glasses of champagne in manicured hands, laughter that didn’t quite reach the eyes.

She could feel them notice her, the way whispers slipped between smiles.

Obetta was the first to greet her, gliding over in a red dress that seemed designed to slice through the room.

“Abigail,” she purred, her eyes flicking briefly over her outfit. “I wasn’t sure you’d be back. Some peo

    I DON'T WANT TO KEEP FIGHTING YOU...The morning sun rose gently over the quiet city, spreading its soft light across the wide lawns of the estate. Abigail sat in the garden, sipping her tea and breathing in the peaceful air. The flowers swayed lightly in the breeze, and for the first time in days, she allowed herself to relax.She had been on edge since the meeting with Carmen and Obetta. Even though she tried to act like it never happened, the words Carmen spoke still echoed faintly in her mind. There was something about the woman sharp, unpredictable that made her wary.But today felt different. Calm.At least until the maid appeared at the entrance of the garden, her tone respectful but uncertain.“Ma’am,” she said quietly, “there’s someone here to see you.”Abigail turned. “Who?”The maid hesitated for a second. “Miss Carmen Brooks.”The cup in Abigail’s hand nearly slipped. “Carmen?” she repeated, her voice calm but her pulse quickening.“Yes, ma’am. She’s waiting in the sitti

    I WILL DEAL WITH HER MY SELF...Morning sunlight poured through the wide glass windows of the mansion, casting golden streaks on the marble floor. Birds could be heard faintly outside, their soft chirping blending with the quiet hum of the city awakening.Abigail sat on the edge of the bed, brushing her hair slowly. The mirror before her reflected a calm face, though her eyes held the faint shadows of the night before. The encounter in the park still echoed in her thoughts Carmen’s cold words, Obetta’s threat, the way her hands had trembled only after they left.She had told herself to forget it, to act like nothing had happened. But pretending was harder than she expected.Luke entered the room quietly, already dressed in a crisp shirt and dark trousers. His steps were silent, but Abigail caught his reflection in the mirror and turned to smile faintly.“You’re up early,” she said softly.He gave a small nod. “I had a call from one of the company’s managers. Just wanted to check on so

    I WANT PEACE..The air in Crescent Park that evening carried a strange stillness, the kind that made even the rustling leaves sound too loud. The fountain in the middle of the park shimmered under the soft light of the street lamps, its water glinting like silver threads. Abigail stood a few feet away, hands pressed lightly against her coat.She looked around. The park was quiet, almost empty, except for a few shadows stretching across the stone path. Her phone showed 6:45 p.m. fifteen minutes early. She had come alone, just as the message instructed.Her heart beat quietly but steadily. She had rehearsed a dozen questions in her head, yet none of them seemed to matter now. The only sound was the fountain’s gentle splash.Then, footsteps.Abigail turned sharply, her eyes narrowing as two figures approached from the path behind the rose bushes.When they came closer, she froze.Carmen.And beside her Obetta.Carmen wore a sleek black coat, her hair neatly pinned, her steps calm and del

    THE UNKNOWN MESSAGE..The afternoon sunlight filtered softly through the curtains of the sitting room. Abigail sat curled on the couch, scrolling lazily through her phone. A tray of tea sat on the center table, untouched, its steam fading slowly. The house was quiet, too quiet, except for the faint chirping of birds outside.Maya walked in, her handbag slung over her shoulder, a thoughtful look on her face. Abigail turned toward her with a small smile.“You’ve been gone longer than I expected,” Abigail said gently. “Did your meeting go well?”Maya hesitated for a moment before sitting down beside her. “It wasn’t a meeting,” she said slowly. “I met someone… accidentally.”Abigail blinked, setting her phone down. “Someone?”Maya nodded. “Oscar Dixon.”Abigail’s eyes widened slightly. “Oscar?” she repeated. “You mean Luke’s business acquaintance?”“The same,” Maya confirmed, exhaling softly. “I ran into him at a café this morning.”Abigail leaned forward a little, curiosity brightening h

    IT'S RARE...The morning sun was bright but gentle, casting soft rays through the tall glass windows of the city café. The faint smell of roasted coffee and baked pastries filled the air, mixing with the quiet hum of people talking and typing away on laptops.Maya sat at a corner table, sipping her caramel latte while checking her messages. She had come to the café to wait for a client, but the person had just texted to cancel. She sighed lightly and leaned back in her chair, deciding to enjoy her coffee before heading home.“Seems the morning didn’t go as planned,” a calm, familiar voice said from behind her.She turned quickly and there stood Oscar Dixon, looking perfectly composed in a navy-blue suit, his hazel eyes warm under the sunlight.“Oscar?” she said, surprised. “What are you doing here?”He smiled easily, holding a small cup of espresso. “I could ask you the same. I didn’t expect to find you here.”“I had a meeting that got canceled,” she replied, smiling politely. “So, I

    The evening breeze was soft and cool, brushing lightly against the flowers that lined the walkways outside Luke’s wide estate. The sun was setting slowly, spreading an orange glow across the sky. Abigail and Maya strolled side by side, enjoying the calmness that came after a long, busy day.Abigail sighed softly. “It feels good to just walk like this. No work, no calls, no noise just peace.”Maya smiled. “You need it. You’ve been working nonstop lately, Abby. Even your ‘relaxing days’ are full of planning.”Abigail laughed lightly, swinging her small purse in one hand. “You sound like Luke.”“Well, he’s right. You never slow down.”They both laughed, their voices blending with the rustling of the trees nearby. The guards following behind them at a short distance kept silent, dressed casually but alert. Luke had given them strict orders: “Stay close, but don’t make her uncomfortable. Report everything.”Abigail knew the guards were there Luke had told her gently that it was “just for h
