Damien

I was serious about finding out what was really happening. The first time I got to the hospital, they turned me away at reception. It was kind of disheartening, but I wasn't one to give up that soon.

Their main reason was that visitor access required advance arrangement with the patient or their legal guardian. They took privacy and safeguarding seriously. The receptionist was very sorry she could not be more helpful.

She was not unkind. I figured she was just doing her job. Though disap

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   WireTap Trap

    Fray The heavy doors of the boardroom swung open with a quiet, hiss that sliced through the suffocating silence. I stepped through the threshold, my hand wrapped firmly around the upper arm of Dr. Vance. The old doctor’s high-end suit was rumpled, his silk tie crooked and loosened at the collar, his skin pale and slick with cold sweat under the bright overhead LEDs. He was breathing in short, shallow hitches as I pushed him forward, his polished oxfords slipping slightly on the marble before he stumbled against the edge of the mahogany table, catching himself with both hands. That made me wonder if he was an MI patient himself. "Tell them, Vance," I said flatly, my hand dropping back to my side, resting naturally against the hem of my trench coat. Dr. Vance refused to look at Rose. He knew the woman who had paid for his silence for years was currently pinned against a window pane, completely stripped of her authority. Instead, his eyes darted to Marcus and the two federal offi

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   Scorched Defense

    Rose Panicking, I slammed my palm against the console glass three more times, but the red rejection screen only flashed brighter, mocking me with its silent, automated defiance. ACCESS DENIED. SERVER LOOP-BACK ACTIVE. "How?" I choked out, staring wildly at the central panel as my vision blurred at the edges. My chest heaved as I fought for air, the room spinning beneath the glare of the overhead lights. "The floor bypass was encrypted on my personal drive! Nobody outside the executive committee had those access keys! I generated the algorithms myself!" "You gave those keys away three months ago, Rose," Damien said smoothly, walking slowly toward the head of the table. His boots made a low, rhythmic thud against the floor. His tall frame cast a long, dark shadow across the polished wood, cutting off what little light remained in the room and trapping me against the wall. "When you opened your private routing channels to Lawrence to facilitate the offshore transfers, you

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   Unredacted Truth

    Serena The quiet hum of the executive suite felt heavy, almost suffocating, as the last digital screen cut to black. On the main video wall, the high-definition feeds from Zurich and Tokyo didn't just log out they vanished behind a stark, flashing red notification that cast long, crimson stripes across the polished mahogany table. ~FEDERAL COMPLIANCE NOTICE: CASE #88-402-A. TRUST ASSETS SEIZED~ Rose just stood still. She stood behind her executive chair, her knuckles pressed so hard into the wood that her skin turned a translucent, ghostly white. Her eyes darted frantically from the dark monitors to the wet-ink municipal land deeds I had spread across her console, as if waiting for the digital displays to flicker back to life and tell her this was all an elaborate illusion. "This is an administrative error," Rose said. Her voice was too quiet, lacking its usual razor-sharp edge. She didn't look at me; she looked past the conference table toward Marcus, who stood near the western

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   The Reckoning at Floor Fifty-Four

    Serena Rose stood at the head of the dark conference table, her silhouette framed by the panoramic glass wall overlooking the rain-soaked city. She held a crystal glass in her right hand, her chin tilted upward, basking in the silent deference of the twelve digital directors still logged into the encrypted video wall. She had done it. She had broken Damien. She had seized interim control of the Holt Group before the morning sun could touch the horizon. "Security is currently patrolling the lower garage perimeters, Rose," Harold's voice crackled through the high-definition ceiling speakers from his London office, his tone carrying the exhausted, cautious relief of a man who had backed the winning horse. "If Damien attempts to access the primary server room or force an entry through the executive lobby, local authorities will serve the night court injunction immediately. He is legally barred from the building." "Damien won't be coming to the executive lobby, Harold," Rose

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   Line of Supply

    Fray The moment the elevator doors parted on the fifty-fourth floor, I skipped going to the boardroom. I stayed back in the shadowed recess of the private service vestibule, dragging Dr. Vance, along by the back of his Italian silk collar. Vance stumbled against the polished marble, his knees shaking so violently his expensive shoes squeaked against the floor. "Mr. Fray... please... my heart... I can't breathe—" "You'll breathe when I tell you to breathe, Doctor," I muttered, shoving him down onto a low, leather service bench in the utility nook. "Sit there, keep your eyes on the floor, and don't make a sound. If you try to run toward the main stairs, I won't shoot you — yet, I'll just let Damien handle you when he walks out of that room." Vance went completely white, his jaw snapping shut as he pulled his knees together, staring down at his bound wrists like a man waiting for his executioner. My priority wasn't the dramatic confrontation unfolding behind the double doors;

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   The Threshold

    Serena The private express elevator rose through the dark, concrete heart of Holt Tower with a low, vibrating hum that seemed to rattle the very floor beneath our feet. The digital floor indicator flickered past the restricted executive security levels one by one: 40... 45... 50... 52... Inside the spacious, mirrored cab, the silence was absolute, thick with the heavy, unyielding weight of unsaid truths, broken promises, and hidden identities. Damien stood directly beside me. He had stripped off his overcoat in the basement, leaving him in his immaculate dark charcoal suit. His jaw was set in a tight, unyielding line, his dark eyes fixed on the illuminated floor numbers above the door with a terrifying, singular focus. In his left hand, he carried a heavy silver drive—the complete forensic audit of Lawrence’s off-book shell accounts, retrieved from Helena’s private lockbox alongside the original Hale estate deeds. In my right hand, I held the heavy leather binder containing

    “Miss, are you sure about this?” The doctor stared deeply into my eyes hoping to see if I was joking or would change my mind. “Yes, I haven't been as sure as I am now.” My voice came out steadier than I expected. She set her pen down slowly. “Mrs Whitmore” she folded her hands. “You don't need

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   Victor's Last Good Days

    Serena Victor had been a little off. The Victor I had known this short period was the giddy type. He had good days and bad days, and the good days were so good that they made the bad days harder to absorb. And I'm sure this is one of the odd ones. On the good day, he was sharp and demanding and

    RoseI rubbed my now visible belly, which had grown into the size of a double football.Satisfaction seeped into my heart thinking about the fact that everything was falling into places just like I wanted.I was twenty-two weeks now.
