The Perfect Enemy Part 1
**Left for Dead**My relationship with my Boss developed when I was very young. It has become a deeply intertwined partnership fortified over the years by numerous shared experiences and secrets, highlighting the exceptional camaraderie we’ve built through time and trust. Over our years together, we have navigated challenges and celebrated triumphs, creating a unique connection that stands apart from typical employer- employee dynamics. I find myself smiling, anticipating the engaging conversation that lies ahead. The thrill of discussing new projects, brainstorming creative solutions, staying up late into the night, or simply catching up on our lives fills me with energy. Each time I hear that unmistakable ringtone signaling a call from my Boss, a familiar rush of warmth envelops me, igniting a sense of excitement."Yes, Boss, how may I assist you today?""Please come over here as quickly as you can. The moment we've eagerly anticipated is finally here. It's time to embark on the jo

Tears clouded my vision as I watched the emergency team hurry up the stairs to Beverly's bedroom. I was on the floor next to her, my heart racing wildly. I held my breath as I saw them remove her beautiful dress, working quickly and purposefully. They started to apply white bandages to her wounds, trying desperately to stop the bleeding. I felt frozen with fear and helplessness, entirely overwhelmed by the seriousness of what was happening. I had never experienced anything so terrifying before.Amid the turmoil swirling all around me, I could hear the detective's calm voice cutting through the chaos, urgently asking, "Is she the victim? How is she doing?"The person they were referring to was my Boss who had been confirmed as a victim. I was in a state of shock and still couldn't believe my eyes."Sir, we caught her attacker, who was found sitting in his car just outside the building. He was taken into custody and then rushed to the hospital to treat injuries on his right shoulder, che

What Am I, A Suspect?I just couldn't accept that we believe what happened to Beverly, and now her condition has declined. The tears wouldn't stop coming. While pacing back and forth, the doctor walks up to me. "Ms. DuBois, I know you are worried, but you must get some rest. We will call if anything changes with her condition," he said, squeezing my hand, comforting me.I nodded in agreement, feeling light-headed like I might faint. I took several deep breaths and began collecting my things to leave the hospital. That's when the detective walks up to me. "Hey, Ms. DuBois, before you go, I have a few more questions for you."I sighed frustratedly. "What is it now, Sir? I'm exhausted, and I have so many things to do. I'm at my wits' end.""I understand, but let me ask you. Has your boss ever been married before or had a past lover with whom she might have had some recent or even past issues with?"I rolled my eyes. "No, Sir. Can you please excuse me? I have to leave and return to the of

Nick smiled, his right brow arched in playful defiance as he countered. “Maybe you don’t remember because you never asked. Of course, I trust you. A woman as lovely as you with a successful business and fantastic track record—why wouldn’t I? Everyone speaks so highly of you and your capabilities.” “Thank you for your kind words and for having faith in me. But I’m quite certain I’ve asked you that question at some point during our time together these past few months,” I replied.Nick’s voice was low and smooth, laced with intrigue. As he leaned forward, escaping the shadows and letting the soft candlelight illuminate his striking features. He exuded an air of commanding masculinity, clean-shaven, his dark hair meticulously styled, every inch radiating confidence. “I’m in Paris, in the company of an exquisite woman. Who has filled my head with fantasy and romantic notions of things I haven't entertained in quite some while. Who wouldn’t want to stay here as long as they could? So,

~Volatile~Angela took a deep breath, her heart racing as she prepared to tell her boss, Beverly, the surprising news. Clearing her throat, she began, her voice steady yet cautious."Well... Beverley, you might want to sit down for this. Nick Vinerelli is Sheppard Choi's business partner."Beverly's eyes widened in disbelief, her voice rising in shock. "What! What did you say?""Yes," Angela continued, choosing her words carefully. "He’s involved in an import business worth billions, but to be honest, he has made a few rather dubious investments along the way. One particularly noteworthy project that Mr. Choi has undertaken a massive hospital in South Korea—a building that features a wing dedicated to his late wife, who tragically passed away five years ago."Beverly sighed and rolled her eyes in exasperation, trying to keep the mood light despite the gravity of the topic. "And Boss, you might find this next bit intriguing."Beverly leaned on the restaurant table, curiosity flickerin

I took a deep breath as I slammed my eyes shut tight! A tear of pain traveled down my cheek."Move away from the door," Nick said in a low, rough tone. When I heard his voice, I thought, 'I'm still alive?' I kept telling myself this was an illusion as I eased my back away from the wall and moved slowly. Nick passed yet another shaft of light from the window. We locked eyes, and again, even as tears slid down my cheeks, I seized with that sensation in my heart that somehow connected to his heart. His eyes are dark, darker than I have ever seen, but not only dark but piercing.His jawline is slightly sucked in; I can't seem to shake it. It's like when you catch a whiff of something that transports you somewhere, like a half-forgotten dream floating away. All you remember is a feeling, and all my feelings surrounding Nick are good."It isn't what you think," I said from her tight throat as I backed up into my bedroom. Once I crossed the sill of the bedroom door, he was on me in a flas

With a jolt, I bolted upright, drenched in sweat, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. Panic gripped me as I turned to my left, anticipating Beverly being alert. But she wasn't; I let out a disappointing sigh. I walked over to her hospital bed, and she was lying there peacefully. The same way she's been since she slipped into that coma. Hot tears blurred my vision, and I hastily wiped them away, bewildered by the wave of emotion. "What did I expect! It wasn't real. It was another stupid dream." I whispered, still haunted by how vivid the dream had been. It felt so real; I could hear her soothing voice, but it was all in my mind. Despite the early hour, I refused to succumb to sleep. It was three in the morning. I stayed awake by splashing water on my face, a feeble attempt to calm my still-racing heart. I then settled in my chair, wrapping the blanket around my shoulders. I take my laptop and open it. I held the very thing Beverly so desperately protected with her life. The dr

My voice shook as tears streamed down my cheeks, each drop reflecting the deep sorrow I felt inside. The words I read hit me like a sudden blow, shocking me. She lay there, utterly still and silent, her face an unsettling reminder of what was lost. No matter how loudly I called her name or how hard I cried, she remained unresponsive, caught in a world no one could reach. With a heavy heart, I turned back to my side of the room, sinking into my chair as if the weight of the world were pressing down on me. I struggled to control my emotions, stifling soft sobs as I fought to regain my composure. Each passing moment felt like an eternity, a stark reflection of the distance that now separated us. I yearned for a sign that she could hear me, that my voice mattered.The glow of my laptop beckoned me, enticing me with words that seemed to reach out, urging me to pour my heart onto the screen."My dear," I began. I have held back my feelings all these years, but now it’s time for you to unders

The Perfect Enemy Part 57
Playing With FireEveryone dispersed, as they all had previous plans with the young ladies they met at the gala. These guys loved what they did for a living. There were only two things that bothered Victor about his style of work. One, the men in his unit were some of the best men he had ever known. Victor could trust every single one of them to have his back. He didn't know what he would do if anything ever happened to them.That's why he tries to ensure they don't encounter any real potential violent missions. But in America, things can get violent quickly, and that's something to seriously worry about.Then, shut himself off emotionallywo, Victor, some years ago, after his emoti,onally. Now it's emotional survival. It made it easier to do his job. He no longer invested himself in the lives of other people, other than his boys. Any outside relationships he kept them at a distance. But for some strange reason, he knew something inside him craved to be close to Dynasty DuBois. Back

Dig Deeper Into You"Sorry, boss, for disturbing you, but I think you need to hear this. I didn't get a chance to talk to you with so much that has happened in the last 48 hours. But that guy you entertained at the Gala. His name was Victor Choi. I expected his father to attend the Gala, but instead, his son came. I've been trying to find out why his father didn't come, but I've been running into dead ends while trying to get any information on Sheppard Choi. It’s as if he has gone missing in action. So I couldn't sleep and I had to call you and warn you, just in case he shows up again."Angela was far too late with her warning because Dynasty had already spent a very long evening, into the late morning, with him."I'm aware of who he is, and I have spoken with him since the Gala. He's my target." "But boss, he's not the old man you expected. He's around your age and very debonair. Not to mention, he must be angry about his family's wealth. I think it's too dangerous, Dynasty. You do

Captivated"It sounds awful hearing it described that way. However, I couldn't have described it any better. That's how it is. I'm sorry to say this to you."Victor felt something deep in his soul stir for the first time. He didn't know how to describe it other than feeling very sorry."It's okay, that's your world? It is very sad. I didn't know, but I do now. I feel very sorry for you."From looking at her face, Victor could tell that what he said didn't suit her taste. But despite that, he couldn't stop gazing at her with amazement in his eyes. "I think you're reading me wrong again. I do…" The dynasty had to fight off, entering a defensive attack mode for females. Because every time she looked at his pathetic and demeaning view, he had women. She saw in his eyes for the first time that he recognized that something was wrong with his view and way of thinking. Dynasty wore a pleasant smile, even though she was holding back words that were itching to escape her lips. “You seem unha

Don’t Want To LeaveSince you’re here in my home, I want to ensure you’re neither married nor entangled with someone else. I maintain a strict policy against involving myself with married men outside of work," she stated, her clarity reflecting a deep respect for herself and for Victor.A flicker of surprise crossed Victor's face at her bold frankness. A charged tension settled in the air as he contemplated his response, weighing his words carefully."Relax," she encouraged, a warm smile curving her lips, disarming the initial intensity of the moment. "I’m simply inquiring whether you’re in a serious relationship, like having a girlfriend or a spouse. So are you involved?" Her calm yet probing tone, intertwined with the candlelight flickering across his well-contoured features, helped diffuse the atmosphere.Dynasty had a clear intention behind her question. To her, clarity was paramount in the early stages of any relationship to avoid the messy complications that often ensue in roman

The Scent Of A Woman:“Thank you,” Victor replied, managing to maintain a calm facade even as a flurry of nerves fluttered in his stomach like a restless bird trying to escape. He made his way across the room to the credenza, his hand moving almost mechanically as he poured a generous glass of his favorite red wine. The deep, rich aroma wrapped around him, momentarily distracting him from the anticipation building within.She reappeared, and the atmosphere shifted dramatically. The simple robe had disappeared, replaced by a stunning, metallic silk maxi dress explicitly tailored for her. The fabric caught the soft light, shimmering like liquid sunshine, and accentuated her every curve with effortless elegance, leaving Victor momentarily breathless. Each step she took unveiled daring slits that climbed high along the sides of the dress, teasing glimpses of her toned thighs that hinted at both strength and grace. Meanwhile, the neckline, adorned with untied drawstrings, invited his gaze

Revealing Identity:“Hello! Who’s calling?” The voice emanating from the intercom was warm and inviting, wrapping the small, cozy room in a friendly atmosphere that felt almost comforting.“Is this Ms. DuBois's residence?” The question came from an appealing masculine voice that carried a warm charm, its rich timbre echoing softly against the walls. There was a genuine curiosity in his tone, making it impossible not to be drawn in by his presence.“Yes, it is,” she replied, her voice smooth and refined, embodying a sense of grace that belied her underlying caution. “May I ask who’s calling?” There was a subtle tension in her tone, a delicate thread of suspicion woven through her politeness, adding an intriguing layer of suspense to the exchange as she prepared to guard the information she held.Victor inched closer to the sleek, black camera positioned next to the door, his captivating smile lighting up his striking features. The warm corridor light streamed down on him, casting a gold

The Princess ArrestedIn the vibrant chaos of downtown, the 12th precinct transformed into a pressure cooker of tension as the President of Flawless Inc. found herself at the center of a storm. A relentless battalion of detectives closed in, their questions sharp and probing, firing off like arrows aimed at her composure. The air buzzed with an electric intensity, thick with apprehension that practically wrapped around her.To make matters worse, her lawyer—her only ally in this intricate maze of law—had been barred from the room, leaving her feeling stranded and vulnerable. This was her first real brush with the police, a stark contrast to the previous encounter she had in a hospital in Paris with Bevely. Each second dragged on, stretching into a torturous eternity as she anxiously anticipated her attorney’s arrival—the lone flicker of hope in this daunting predicament.The situation became a true test of her character, pushing her resolve and resilience to their very limits.

Alert! Alert!As the meeting drew to a close, the President surveyed the room with her keen, perceptive gaze, acutely aware of the absence that lingered like a shadow among her advisors. She chose to hold her tongue, allowing the others to reveal the truth as it unfolded. Just then, Angelique rose from her seat, her posture betraying an urgency she couldn’t mask. With a respectful nod, she requested permission to step out of the conference room for a moment. Upon her return, she approached the group with a palpable sense of trepidation etched across her features. Clearing her throat, she delivered the critical news with a tremor in her voice. "Dynasty," she began, her words trembling slightly, "the evidence we gathered last night was undeniably clear. After reviewing all the footage and testimonies, it’s apparent that the decision to fire shots was made in self-defense." The weight of her revelation hung in the air, as the room processed the gravity of what it meant for their ongoi

I’m Every WomanLike many young girls, Dynasty, the driven CEO of Flawless, once dreamed of magical worlds filled with adventure. She imagined herself as a stunning model walking down Paris runways, enchanting everyone, or as a graceful ballerina dancing effortlessly on grand stages under bright lights. In her future dreams, she pictured herself as a loving wife, surrounded by the joyful laughter of children, creating a warm and happy home. Growing up under the care and support of Beverly and those around her helped Dynasty believe that true happiness and success were within her reach.However, Dynasty grew older, she faced the challenges of a difficult family life that cast a shadow over her dreams. While there was love in her home, it often felt tangled and far from the perfect family life that many of her school friends had or aspired to have. As she entered her teenage years, her dreams transformed into something more profound but also complicated. She found inspiration in her ment
