Elena had pushed aside most of her work documents, accepting that she wasn’t going to get much done with Adrian around. Not that she minded, his energy was infectious, and after the tension of the past few days, his lighthearted presence felt like a breath of fresh air.

“So,” Elena said, settling back into her chair with her own fresh cup of coffee, “you seem to know a lot about me or at least, about the fact that I exist and married your brother. But I know almost nothing about Damien beyond w

    The moment Edward and Claire entered the Financial Crimes Division headquarters, a sharply dressed man hurried toward them. It was the lawyer.“What took you so long, Mr. Edward?” he asked, checking his watch.Edward adjusted his suit jacket. “My apologies for the delay. We had some issues come up, but we are here now.”The lawyer nodded before his gaze briefly shifted toward Claire. “Alright, as long as you are here”Edward placed a hand on the lawyer’s shoulder.“Claire, wait here.”Claire nodded absentmindedly. She pulled out her phone and stared at the screen while the two men walked a short distance away.The lawyer lowered his voice. “Does she have any idea why she is here?”Edward smirked. “I have it all handled.”The lawyer looked unconvinced. “Handled how?”“She agreed to take responsibility.”The lawyer blinked. “She did?”“Under a few conditions.” Edward shrugged. “Financial demands. A reduced sentence.”The lawyer rubbed his jaw. “I will do my best.”“You don’t have to eit

    After Edward and Claire left George’s hospital room, they walked silently through the corridor.Edward’s pace was brisk. Claire followed a few steps behind, her mind was elsewhere completely beyond the present reality she found herself in.Every step felt heavier than the last.“Sir.”Edward stopped walking and turned slightly.“What is it?”Claire adjusted her glasses. “Excuse me, sir. I will follow you after. I need to use the restroom.”Edward glanced at his watch. “Be fast about it. We have somewhere else to be.”“Sure.” Without waiting for another response, Claire turned and headed toward the restroom.Edward continued down the corridor toward the elevators that would eventually lead him to the parking garage.The moment Claire stepped into the restroom and the door closed behind her, her legs gave out. She stumbled forward and grabbed the sink, her breathing became uneven.For the first time since Edward had made his proposal, she was alone.Truly alone, no Edward. No one was w

    The ride to the hospital was painfully quiet for Claire.Edward sat in the back seat, he was on his phone.In the front passenger seat, Claire sat beside the driver. Her fingers trembled as she repeatedly bit her nails.The conversation in Edward’s office replayed over and over in her mind.‘You are the perfect person’. The words refused to leave her head.Years of loyalty, years of sacrifice and this was how it was going to end for her. Claire swallowed hard and stared blankly through the windshield.She barely noticed the passing streets.Her thoughts spiraled wildly. She wasn’t ready to go to prison. What about her family, her future. Everything she had worked for, she didn’t want to believe that she would lose everything.The car eventually slowed and pulled into the hospital parking lot.The driver parked and switched off the engine.Edward immediately opened his door and stepped out.Claire remained frozen in her seat, lost in thought.The driver glanced at her.“Miss Claire.”No

    At JH Industries, the building was really quiet, most operations had been suspended. The entire department was empty.Some employees were already looking into new jobs, while others waited anxiously for news regarding the federal investigation.Edward stood alone in his office, his hands were clasped behind his back as he stared out through the windows overlooking the city.The skyline usually brought him a sense of accomplishment but today, it only reminded him of everything he stood to lose.A knock sounded at the door.“Come in.”The door opened.Claire stepped inside. She looked exhausted. Like everyone else in the company, she had barely slept since the raid.“Sir, you called for me?”Edward didn’t turn around. He continued looking at the window while speaking to her.“Claire.”“Yes, sir?”“Do you know why I asked for you to come in even though work has been suspended for a while?”Claire looked confused. “No, sir.”Edward’s gaze remained fixed on the city. “How long have you wor

    The moment Elena stepped back into the building, Maya appeared beside her as if she had been waiting for her return.One look at Maya’s face made Elena sigh. She knew what that look meant.Maya wasn’t even trying to hide it. The woman was practically vibrating with curiosity, her eyes screamed one thing.‘Spill the details.’Elena shook her head and continued walking.Maya quickly fell into step beside her.“Ma’am.”Silence.“Ma’am.”Elena glanced sideways. “What?”Maya’s grin widened. “Someone sure looks excited and in a good mood.”Elena nearly rolled her eyes. “What does that mean? And before you speak, remember who your boss is”“Ohh now you are using the hierarchy rank. Well, It means you haven’t smiled this much in the past couple of days.”“I smile.”“Not recently.”“I smile a lot, you just want to have something to say.”Maya gave her a look. One that clearly said we both know that’s a lie.By then they had reached Elena’s office.Maya followed her inside and closed the door b

    A knock sounded on Elena’s office door once again.Elena already knew who it was. “Come in.”The door opened. Maya stepped inside, behind her stood Julian.“Ma’am, he is here.”Elena looked up from the document she had been reviewing. The moment her eyes landed on him, she froze.For a second, she simply stared then recognition hit her. Her eyes widened.“Oh my God!.”Before Julian could react, Elena was already on her feet, tears immediately welled in her eyes.A flood of relief crashed through her. She stood up from her chair and rushed towards him.“You are okay.” The words came out broken. “I can’t believe it.”Julian barely had time to process what was happening.The next thing he knew, Elena had thrown her arms around him, holding him tightly. “I am so glad you’re okay.”Tears streamed freely down her cheeks. “I was so worried.”Julian stood completely still, caught off guard.“You left without saying any information that I could use to reach out to you.” Her voice trembled. “I

    They had reached the board members; Mr. Chen, Mrs. Kim, Mr. Davis, and several others, all holding drinks and engaged in what had probably been an intense discussion before Elena’s entrance had stopped everything.Elena turned to face them with a warm, professional smile that was worlds away from t
