SKYLA

The 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.

  • 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    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

  • The Perfect Revenge    Threaded lies

    EDDIE [ED]I used to believe in lines – clean ones, drawn in either black or white. The kind of lines you didn’t cross, because doing so meant loosing something. Yourself, usually. Your integrity. Your soul But lately, everything’s been smeared in grey.All the lines have gotten tangled – some blurred, and they were no longer in black or white. A little bit of red had wormed it’s way through.Especially the contract. Skyla's contract with Xavier. The one I had made her sign.I stared at it again, the printed text lying heavily on Charlie’s desk under the flicker of his desk lamp. I’d gotten a copy through someone who owed me a favour – an old friend from law school with a knack for cooperate loopholes. I wasn’t proud of the method, but pride wasn’t a luxury I could afford anymore. Not when Skyla was entangled with something this twisted.And now that she no longer lived with me, I feared for her safety – I could no longer pro
