SKYLA

The contract sat on my nightstand untouched, it’s presence looming over me like a storm cloud. I had been avoiding it for days, the weight of my decision pressing down on me like a vice.

Every single day, I kept on telling myself that I needed more time_ more time, for what exactly?

More time for myself before whatever this thing with the Andersons pulled me in, before they sucked me into their bleak dark world.

But who was I kidding?

Signing this contract wasn’t just about a job, it meant surrendering, not just to Xavier’s demands, but to the past. To the pain, the betrayal, and the tangled emotions I had spent years trying to bury.

Signing it meant giving Xavier total control over my life again. If I signed this darned contract, I would be tied to Xavier once again. But this time, not as his lover, or the woman he once loved, but his employee, bound by the cold calculating terms of a business deal.

  • The Perfect Revenge    The Dead File

    SKYLAThe slight hum of the fluorescent lights is all that fills the silence as I step into Xavier’s office, my heart still racing from the intense heated moment I and Xavier just shared. I was trying so hard to steady my breathing, trying hard to steady myself after the storm we unleashed in that exchange. But my heart still hurt with the words he had spewed, the weight of everything that had been said and done still stung sharply.I hastily pull the door behind me, the soft click of the bolts keying into place echoed in the empty space. But instead of heading to the desk, I move towards the filing cabinets, trailing my fingers over the metal as I look for anything that might give me some semblance of control, some way to piece together the puzzle of this twisted mess I found myself in.And then I found it .Found the file tucked away at the back of one of the drawers, hidden beneath a stack of less significant papers. The label on the front barel

  • The Perfect Revenge    Heat And Ashes

    SKYLAThe city outside Xavier’s office window looked like it could be burning. The city lights twinkled like fiery embers in the night. It felt so far away – too far to feel any warmth inside, just a certain coldness that caused goosebumps to scatter across ones skin.I could even feel it with the way my skin prickled in discomfort the moment I stepped off the elevator. A certain chill wrapping itself around me like a bleak blanket that suffocated every part of me, leaving nothing but tension and raw nerves.My feet move before my mind catches up. I didn’t even need to look up before I knew that he was there, standing at his usual spot. The glow of the night casts a halo over his silhouette. The urgent need to run my palms through his taut muscles tempting.I stood still for a long time, trying to steady my uneven breathing. Trying to push away the weight of the past six years that’s been bearing down on me, wrapping itself around my chest like

  • The Perfect Revenge    The Whisperer

    SKYLAThe city always felt colder after midnight – it felt like the darkness always found a way to strip the world of all its polite lies away, leaving only the raw, ugly truth behind. Leaving us with all the bitterness the day had to conceal.I tugged on my coat tightly, the night chill causing goosebumps to scatter across my skin. I keep my head down as I cross the empty space behind Charlie’s building. Ignoring the way my heart thumps rapidly against my chest as my boots crunch loudly against the gravel, a lonely sound in the stillness. Charlie had asked me to meet him here. He had said it was urgent, and it couldn’t wait.I had been surprised at first, ever since this whole fiasco with Xavier, Charlie had never contacted me personally to tell me that he had urgent news for me. Even though it was my duty to report to him every morning before I resumed work.The word itself felt poisonous to my mind . News.In my world, wh

  • The Perfect Revenge    Carl’s Games

    CARLThe city outside my office window was filled with vast oceans of cold lights and looming skyscrapers, each one a testament to the empire that I had built brick by brick. A legacy that had required my blood sweat and tears before it could stand this tall – this intimidating. But within the walls of the penthouse, there was only darkness – a cold, unsettling darkness that created an empty void inside me. The weight of what needed to be done pressing heavily on my shoulders.The amount of power I wielded choked me, turned me into this crazy monster that would do anything for more power. Anything just so I could rule over the weak.I lean back into my reclining chair, my fingers steepled beneath my chin as I survey the empire I’ve spent decades building. Blueprints, contracts, confidential reports – all spread across the table like offerings at the feet of an altar. And at the centre of it all, the crowned jewel – the very reason why the Anderson empire t

  • The Perfect Revenge    Echoes

    SKYLAI could feel the weight of the world lay heavily on my dainty shoulders as I walked through the hallway that led to the break room. Each step felt deliberate, as if I was walking through an invisible minefield, afraid that the wrong step could trigger an explosion. The weight wasn’t just from the events that had plunged my life into total chaos. It was the ache of feeling entirely alone in a place that had once felt like home – a place that had once served as refuge for me.And then there was Eddie who had sworn with everything in his life that he’d protect me no matter what. I knew he was worried about me. Hell, I could feel his concern from the moment he first tried to reach out to me after Carl’s announcement. But every single time he tried, I ended up pulling further away. His words of comfort , his offers of support – they all felt like noises to me. As if no matter how hard he tried, nothing he did would ever reach me.I hadn’t even re

  • The Perfect Revenge    Unsteady Ground

    XAVIERI stood in the elevator of Anderson Global, staring at my reflection in the polished metal. I didn’t recognise the man staring back at me.Not entirely.The suit was tailored, the cufflinks expensive, the expression unreadable. I looked every bit the perfect heir my father wanted me to be. But inside, I was splintering. This wasn’t the first time.But this time, it wasn’t about business. Not entirely. This time, it was about her.SkylaJust the thought of her name was like dragging a knife across old scar tissue.She was here now – working in this building, walking the marbled floors, haunted by truths she didn’t fully grasp. Trapped in the very world she once ran from. And the worst part?I was the one who brought her back into it. And I didn’t know how to feel about that just yet, I didn’t know if I should be over the moon, dancing in victory that I finally got my revenge.The elevator doors slid open to the exe
