“A month ago,” Mr. Wesley began, his voice calm but firm as everyone gradually settled back into their seats.

“Ms. Tessa sent me an early draft of From Dusk Till Dawn and clearly stated she would bring the project into Ecofel. That was the only reason I even considered working with your company in the first place.”

He adjusted slightly, placing both hands on the table as his gaze moved slowly across each face, ensuring that his words would land exactly where they needed to.

    “Flower Gods is a hit.” Mr. Wesley said, lifting his glass of wine with a satisfied smile, clearly impressed. “Congratulations, Ms. Lauren.”Lauren’s lips curved into her usual polished smile, the kind that made people forget to question anything about her. She tilted her glass slightly and clinked it gently against his.“Thank you for your support,” she said smoothly. “I’ll lead Ecofel to greater heights.”Her voice carried confidence, her posture elegant, her presence commanding just enough attention without forcing it. Around them, a few investors nodded in agreement, murmuring praises under their breath. The success of the Flower Gods series had given her exactly what she needed: credibility, influence, and most importantly, control.For now.“Ah, Ms. Dean is here.”The voice cut through the soft chatter, and almost immediately, heads turned.Tessa had just stepped into the space.She didn’t rush. She didn’t announce herself. She simply walked in like someone who belonged, her

    “Tell me.” Tessa said, standing right in front of him, her gaze cold and steady as she looked down at Paschal like he was nothing more than dirt beneath her feet. “What did Lauren tell you to do?”Paschal shifted slightly on his knees, his palms pressing against the floor as though he needed something to steady himself. His face was pale, his lips dry, and even the way he avoided her eyes made it obvious he was already breaking inside.“What do you mean?” he said, his voice low, but it carried a slight tremble he couldn’t hide. “I don’t know.”The lie fell flat immediately.Jason didn’t even give him a second to breathe before stepping forward, his movement sharp and filled with contained anger. He bent down and grabbed Paschal by the neck, his fingers tightening with deliberate force.“Tell us everything you know,” Jason said, his voice dangerously calm despite the violence in his grip, “or you’ll regret it.”Paschal gasped instantly, his hands flying up to Jason’s wrist, trying to

    Tessa’s chest rose and fell slowly as she leaned against the headrest, her fingers clutching the blanket tightly against her body. Her eyes moved between Curtis and Lauren, calm on the surface, but something deeper flickered behind them. Curtis still stood rooted to the spot, his breathing uneven, his mind clearly struggling to catch up with what his eyes had just seen. The anger that had brought him storming into the room had nowhere to land anymore, and that unsettled him more than anything else. His hand, which had forcefully yanked the sheet moments ago, now hung stiffly by his side.Lauren, on the other hand, had lost every trace of composure.She stood in the middle of the room, her fingers trembling slightly, her lips parted as though she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words. Her eyes darted around quickly, searching, calculating, refusing to accept what was in front of her.This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.She had been certain. Certain that the moment

    The moment the drink slid down her throat, something felt off.At first, it was subtle. Just a slight heaviness behind her eyes, like fatigue creeping in too quickly. Tessa blinked once, then twice, trying to steady her focus on the road ahead. The passing lights outside the car began to blur slightly, stretching into faint streaks that didn’t quite make sense.Then came the sound.A low ringing.At first, she thought it was coming from outside, maybe a distant horn, or something mechanical. But as seconds passed, the sound grew louder, sharper, like it was echoing inside her own head.Her fingers tightened slightly around the bottle.Her breathing shifted.She turned slowly toward Paschal, her movements no longer as controlled as before. Her vision struggled to settle on his face, his features appearing slightly distorted, like she was looking at him through water.“You…” she started, her voice coming out hoarse, weak, nothing like her usual steady tone. “What’s this?”Her words tr

    “None of your business!”Tessa’s voice came sharp and fast, her eyes flashing with irritation as she slapped Curtis’s hand off her wrist. The sound of the impact echoed faintly in the quiet space near the exit, drawing a few curious glances from nearby staff, but she didn’t care. She didn’t even spare him another look.She turned immediately and began to walk away, her steps firm, her shoulders squared like someone who had already decided she was done listening.“Hey!” Curtis called out, moving quickly after her, his hand lifting again as if to stop her.But he didn’t get far.Paschal stepped in smoothly, placing a hand against Curtis’s chest just enough to halt his movement.His face carried that same easy smile, but there was something mocking in it now, something deliberate.“Relax,” Paschal said lightly, as though they were discussing something trivial.Curtis’s brows furrowed, irritation flashing across his face as he tried to move past him, but Paschal didn’t shift.Instead, he

    The glass doors at the company’s exit reflected the fading light outside, turning the lobby into a quiet blend of gold and shadow. Staff moved in and out, some in a hurry to leave, others lingering in small groups, their voices low but restless. The air carried the usual end-of-day tension, but beneath it, something heavier lingered, something unspoken.Tessa walked steadily toward the exit, her heels tapping softly against the polished floor. Her posture was straight, her pace calm, but her mind was far from still. Too many things had happened in such a short time, and though her face revealed nothing, her thoughts were anything but settled.Lauren’s defiance. The whispers in the office. The truth slowly forcing its way into the open.She had expected resistance. She had expected chaos. But even then, the way everything was unfolding felt like watching a storm gather from a distance, you knew it was coming, but you couldn’t yet tell how destructive it would be.She was almost at t
