Tom stared at the screen in front of him, his jaw tightening as the error message flashed again.

“This does not make any sense,” he muttered, running a hand through his hair.

One of his developers shifted uneasily beside him.

“We have tried everything, sir,” the man said carefully. “The system keeps crashing during final integration. It is like something is interfering with the core code.”

Tom’s eyes hardened.

“Interfering?” he repeated. “You are telling me someone got into my system?”

  • The CEO'S Forgotten Promise    Chapter 34

    Sara The classroom had grown quieter as the day stretched on. Sara sat across from Kingsley, her fingers resting lightly around the juice bottle he had given her earlier, though she had long stopped drinking it.Her mind kept circling back to what he had said before, about recognizing her birthmark, about the way his expression had changed the moment he saw it.She finally broke the silence.“Kingsley,” she said, her voice steady but thoughtful, “you never finished what you were saying yesterday. About my birthmark.”Kingsley, who had been leaning slightly against the desk, straightened and looked at her. For a brief moment, it seemed like he might brush the question aside, but then his expression shifted into something more serious.“I did not want to say too much yesterday,” he admitted, his tone calm. “You were already overwhelmed, and I did not want to make things more confusing.”Sara held his gaze.“I am already confused,” she said quietly. “You might as well tell me the rest.”

    Tom stared at the screen in front of him, his jaw tightening as the error message flashed again.“This does not make any sense,” he muttered, running a hand through his hair.One of his developers shifted uneasily beside him.“We have tried everything, sir,” the man said carefully. “The system keeps crashing during final integration. It is like something is interfering with the core code.”Tom’s eyes hardened.“Interfering?” he repeated. “You are telling me someone got into my system?”“We cannot confirm that yet,” the developer replied quickly, trying not to sound incompetent. “But the glitches are not random. They are targeted.”Tom leaned back in his chair, his mind racing.'Targeted.'That word did not sit well with him.“Fix it,” he said coldly. “I do not care how long it takes. This app is supposed to launch this week.”The developer hesitated.“Sir… we might need more time,” he admitted. “If this is external interference, we need to run a full security audit.”Tom’s patience sn

    Lucy Lucy stopped outside her bedroom door when she heard it.At first it was just a faint sound, something she almost ignored, but then it came again. A low laugh. A woman’s voice.Lucy frowned slightly and pushed the door open.The moment her eyes landed on the bed, everything inside her went still.Her husband was there.And so was the maid.Lucy stood there without moving, her brain struggling to process what she was seeing. The maid scrambled to pull the sheets over herself, but David did not look surprised or guilty. He simply turned his head and looked at Lucy as if she had interrupted something unimportant.“David…” Lucy said slowly, her voice shaking despite her effort to stay calm.He exhaled in annoyance.“Lucy, what are you doing standing there?” he asked as if she were the problem.Lucy stared at him in disbelief.“What am I doing?” she repeated, her voice rising slightly. “You are in our bed with her and you are asking me what I am doing?”The maid kept her head down, c

    Sara Kingsley sat beside Sara in silence for a moment after her words faded into the air.He didn’t interrupt her.He didn’t rush her.But his eyes had already begun to notice the details she was trying so hard to hide.The way she held her shoulders stiffly.The slight flinch when she adjusted her posture.The scarf wrapped too carefully around her neck despite the mild weather.His gaze lingered there for a second longer.“Sara,” he said quietly.She sniffed and quickly wiped her face, trying to pull herself together.“I’m fine,” she said softly, though her voice didn’t match her words.Kingsley didn’t respond immediately.Instead, he leaned forward slightly, resting his forearms on his knees as he looked at her more directly.“No, you’re not,” he said calmly.Sara forced a small smile.“I just had a rough day.”Kingsley’s eyes narrowed just slightly.“A rough day doesn’t make someone move like they’re in pain,” he said.Sara froze for half a second.Then she shook her head quickly

    Sara Sara woke before the sun had fully risen.Her body ached the moment she tried to move.Every muscle felt stiff, and the burning pain across her back reminded her immediately of what had happened the night before.She closed her eyes for a moment, forcing herself to breathe through it.Don’t cry.She had cried enough.Slowly, she pushed herself up from the bed and walked to the mirror.The reflection staring back at her made her stomach tighten.Dark bruises marked the side of her neck where Tom had grabbed her. Thin red lines trailed across her shoulders and upper back where the whip had struck.Sara swallowed hard.“If I stay here,” she whispered quietly to herself, “I’ll completely break.”She opened the drawer and pulled out a soft scarf, wrapping it carefully around her neck. Then she applied makeup slowly, covering the marks as best as she could.It wasn’t perfect.But it would have to do.Today she had class at the academy.And for the first time since everything started f

    Sara MichaelsSara barely remembered how she managed to walk through the front door.Her hands were still shaking from the article she had just read in the car. Her phone felt heavy in her grip, the screen still displaying the cruel headline that had already begun spreading across every gossip page in town.Her chest felt tight as she stepped into the house.The moment she entered the living room, she realized something was very wrong.Tom was already there.Emily was sitting beside him on the couch, crying dramatically into his shoulder. Her body trembled as she clung to him, while Tom’s arm wrapped around her protectively.The scene made Sara freeze in the doorway.Tom looked up immediately.His expression hardened the moment he saw her.“Well,” he said coldly, “look who finally decided to come home.”Sara swallowed the lump forming in her throat and walked further into the room.Her anger pushed past the humiliation she was feeling.She held up her phone, the article still visible

    Sara MichaelsThe next morning came too soon.I stood under the shower longer than I should have, letting the hot water pound against my shoulders until my skin turned pink. Yesterday’s cold still lingered in my bones...like the patio water, like Tom’s stare, like Emily’s laugh echoing in my ears.

    Tom McCarthyThe office smelled like fresh coffee and money, the way it always did on launch mornings. Floor-to-ceiling glass, city skyline bleeding gold through the blinds, my team buzzing quietly...behind frosted partitions. Everyone moved fast..headphones on, fingers flying over keyboards, voic

    Kingsley SalvatoreI woke up with Sara's name already in my head.Damn it, I knew it was weird because she is married.I lay there staring at the ceiling, with one arm thrown over my eyes, trying to push the image away. It didn’t work. She was there…clear as yesterday. Those glacier-blue eyes red

    Sara MichaelsThe house was colder that morning, even though the sun was already climbing high outside the windows from the dark clouds..It almost looked.like it may rain. I stood in the kitchen, hands still damp from washing the breakfast dishes Emily had barely touched. My finger throbbed under
