~Jasmine~“Apologize?” I repeated unfazed. “That's quite interesting.” My voice carried effortlessly across the terrace, smooth and clear enough for every single person around pool to hear. The silence that followed was immediate, tense, and expectant. Even defense splashing of water against the pool walls seemed to quiet down beneath the weight of everyone's attention. I folded my arms gracefully, my gaze sweeping over the crowd before settling on Enoch. “Then, tell me,” I continued, my gaze sweeping across the crowd, landing briefly on Enoch before moving again, “when the truth comes out… who exactly will be apologizing to who?” A hush silence descended over the atmosphere. “W-what do you mean?” Enoch stuttered, the anger on his face flickering for a second. Beside him, Melody stiffened at the question. Her face was still wet from the pool, mascara slightly smudged beneath her eyes, but this time, the confidence she had been clinging to cracked visibly. Her fingers tightened a

~Melody~“Leave my wife alone!” The words didn't just echo, they clawed like a wolf. Scraped against the inside of my skull, over and over again, louder each time, until it felt like something in me was about to snap completely. Wife. My fingers twitched at my sides, nails digging into my palms so hard it hurt, but I didn't stop. I needed that pain. I needed something to anchor the rage boiling inside me before I did something… reckless. “Bitch!” I thought, my teeth grinding together so tightly my jaw ached. “That's exactly what she is. A cursed, shameless vixen bitch who crawled out of nowhere just to ruin everything.” My eyes locked on her. On Jasmine. Standing there like she owned the air everyone was breathing, smiling, actually smiling as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't just turned everything in my stomach upside down. Some of the investors were even looking at her now, their attention had now shifted to her, their curiosity sparking from how that—wasn't it Sam

~Enoch~Finally, my mother reached her limits. She moved fast, heels clicking sharply against the ground as she stormed towards Jasmine, fury written all over her face. “You!” She snapped, pointing a mildly aging finger at her. “Ever since my son chased you from our house, you've done everything to sabotage him, and this is one of them, isn't it? You think you're clever, don't you? Showing up here and causing trouble!”Jasmine cocked her head, still smiling. “I don't know what you're talking about, Samantha,” she said lightly, her tone almost bored. “Don't lie to me!” Mother barked, stepping closer. I squinted. The Jasmine before would have started sucking up to my mother. She loved her so much. She loved us, but this one didn't. “Ever since you showed up at this event, everything has gone wrong! Who do you think you are?!”The tension around them thickened, drawing attention away from the stage, away from the chaos I was still trying and failing to control. “It’s you,” Jasmine sai

~Enoch~The calm, controlled atmosphere that had been there minutes ago was gone and replaced by a loud, restless energy that felt like it could turn violet at any second. My throat tightened as I tried to respond, but the weight of their expectations and doubts pressed down hard. “No—no, there's been a misunderstanding,” I said quickly, lifting a hand in an attempt to steady the room. “What you are seeing is temporary. Market fluctuations happen, especially when news is misinterpreted. Star Tech is still stable. Very stable. Look.” I turned sharply toward the screen, clinging to the one thing that had worked moments ago. At this point, my voice didn't sound convincing, even to me. “The data doesn't lie,” I continued, forcing confidence into my voice. “Look at the growth indicators, the projections—”“What projections?” One of the investors scoffed, tilting his chin towards the screen.“You mean the datas on the screen that had changed?”“The numbers that had been rising so confi

~Enoch~Next was the incessant buzz of my phone. The sound was sharp against the thin fabric of my pocket against my thighs. It vibrated again, insistent, almost aggressive in the way it demands attention. I tried to stubbornly ignore it, and continue because I had to. This was not the moment to lose focus, not when everything was unfolding exactly as planned. “... I'd like to call upon the Ives Global Dominion representative, Mr Callum.”I lifted my gaze proudly in expectation—the shift in attention, the acknowledgement that would seal everything I'd just built. In my mind, I could already see it: Callum rising from his seat, offering a composed nod, maybe a brief wave, reinforcing everything I had just said. But nothing happened. He just remained seated. For heaven's sake, his job is to come and back me up and not sit as if we were acting in a show where he's a Christmas father! And why was a faint, almost taunting smirk resting at the corners of his lips as he looked straight ah

~Enoch~“Good morning everyone,” I began, my voice steady, carrying easily across the space as flashes of cameras burst non-stop, capturing every angle and every expression. “As you all know, I am Enoch Smith, and today, I stand before you to introduce something far beyond ordinary advancement—a revolution in technology.”I paused briefly, letting the words settle, letting their anticipation build before continuing. “Star Tech is a company built on precision, innovation, and predictive intelligence. We don't just respond to change, we anticipate it. We analyze patterns, forecast outcomes, and provide solutions before problems even exist. That is the foundation we stand on.”A few murmurs of interest rose from the audience, and I allowed my gaze sweep across them with a slow and deliberate intent, holding their attention exactly where I wanted it. “Yeah, you might want to think we are new,” I continued, a faint smile tugging at my lips. “You want to think we are just another startup

Jasmine's Pov The deafening bass of the blaring music slowly faded into a slow, soft song that hummed beneath my ribs, but it did nothing to calm the storm brewing in my heart. Because the dead rose was still in my palm, its petals dried and wilted like something that had already given up. And t

Enoch’s pov“You're not the one who usually answers the door. But are you Mrs Smith?” he asked in a clipped professional tone, glancing down at the name maybe to check if he asked right. “Yes, I am.”“Good. Your order has arrived. I'll need payment and your signature to complete delivery.”Payment

Enoch's Pov:“Mom, how many times do I have to tell you I can't go out because I don't have a fucking car?!” I thundered down the stairs, dragging frustrated fingers through my hair. Every step felt like it was grinding against the last nerve I had left. Why was this so damn hard for her to under

Jasmine's Pov The days slipped by, and suddenly, it was just one day until the world would know I was officially back. My car rolled to a stop in front of the building, and my personal security opened the door with practiced efficiency. I stepped out, heels clicking confidently against the gle
