The restaurant glittered with expensive lighting and louder laughter. Mr Wellis arrives with his “PA” ready for business.

Mr Erikson raised his glass. “To partnership,” he said smoothly.

Dave could barely sit still. His old bakery — the ovens, the wooden counter, the smell of cinnamon at 5 a.m. — it was finally coming back into reach.

Well… almost.

“Well I never knew you will decide this quickly Mt Erickson”

“I figured out that even if I give you the Golden crust I have nothing to lose besides

  • Till death murder us apart   Which one is the wife?

    The house felt different the moment Adia was left alone. At first, she tried to ignore it.She moved around, straightening things that didn’t need fixing, adjusting cushions, wiping already clean surfaces—anything to keep her mind busy. But it didn’t work. The thoughts came anyway.*The way they laughed together…**How easily Dave mentioned her favorite color… her size…**The way things just seemed… natural between them.*Adia sat down slowly, her hand resting on her stomach.“No,” she whispered to herself. “It’s nothing.”But even as she said it she didn’t fully believe it. By the time evening came, she had managed to calm herself… at least on the surface. So when the door opened, she stood up, ready to welcome her husband back home.But then—She froze.Dave walked in with Lisha, together…again. Adia’s smile came automatically.“You’re back,” she said.But her eyes searched them carefully. Lisha noticed.“Oh—um,” she started quickly, sensing the unspoken question. “Since Dave droppe

  • Till death murder us apart   I’m another lifetime with you

    Lisha stepped into her workplace that morning, but her mind was nowhere near it.Everything felt… distant.Her hands moved automatically, doing what they always did, but her thoughts were tangled somewhere else—somewhere dangerous.That hug. It replayed over and over again in her mind.The warmth.The closeness.The way, for just a moment, everything felt… right. And that was the problem. Her expression hardened slightly as she tried to shake it off.*He’s Adia’s husband.*The thought came sharply, almost like a warning. But it didn’t erase the feeling. It only made it worse.Her phone rang. Lisha blinked, snapping out of her thoughts as she glanced at the screen.Adia. She answered immediately.“Hey,” Lisha said, trying to sound normal.“Hey!” Adia’s voice was bright, warm. “Don’t stay too long at work today, okay? Come home early. And don’t stress yourself.”Lisha paused. That voice along with kindness and trust. It hit her all at once.“I… I won’t,” she replied softly.“Good,” Adia

  • Till death murder us apart   She comes first

    By the time Adia and Lisha returned home, the late afternoon sun had softened into a warm glow, casting long shadows across the driveway.Adia balanced a few shopping bags in her hands, her energy returning slightly after the quiet tension at the mall. Lisha followed behind, quieter, thoughtful, still carrying the weight of everything the day had stirred within her.But the moment they stepped inside, something felt different. Someone was already there.Adia paused.“Grandma?”From the sitting room, her grandmother sat upright, hands folded neatly over her handbag, her presence commanding as always.“Adia,” she said, her tone firm.Adia frowned slightly. “You should’ve called me, I would’ve come to you.”“It was urgent,” her grandmother replied. “That’s why I came.”Lisha stepped forward politely.“Good afternoon, Ma’am,” she greeted gently.Her grandmother looked at her. There was no warmth in her eyes.“Afternoon,” she replied shortly.The difference was clear. Lisha felt it immedia

    The door had barely closed behind Lisha when the tension began to build.Adia was still glowing with excitement, helping Lisha carry her bags inside, chatting endlessly about where she would stay, what she needed, how everything would work.Dave, however, stood still in the middle of the living room. Processing what was going on.“Adia,” he finally said.There was something in his tone that made her pause.“We need to talk.”The bedroom door shut behind them, cutting off the warmth from the rest of the house.“What is this?” Dave asked, his voice low but firm. “You didn’t even tell me she was moving in.”Adia crossed her arms, already prepared.“I did tell you,” she argued. “I’ve been telling you.”“Telling me she *should* move in is not the same as her showing up with luggage!”Adia exhaled sharply, her excitement fading into frustration.“She has nowhere to go, Dave.”“That’s not true and you know it,” he replied. “She has a mansion.”“A house isn’t the same as a home,” Adia shot ba

  • Till death murder us apart   Till we meet again

    Rain drizzled softly against the café windows, painting the city in blurred streaks of gray and gold. The afternoon crowd had thinned, leaving only scattered conversations and the faint sound of jazz playing overhead.Lisha sat quietly near the corner window, her fingers wrapped around a cup of untouched coffee. She looked different now. Not because of the expensive black dress she wore or the tiredness beneath her eyes, but because grief had changed the way she carried herself.Carefully.As though the world might break her if she moved too quickly.When the café door opened, Adia stepped inside, scanning the room until their eyes met. For a second, neither woman moved. Then Adia smiled softly. Lisha stood, and the two embraced tightly.It had been weeks since they had truly seen each other—not through television screens, not through headlines or whispered gossip, but face to face. Real. Human.“How are you holding up?” Adia asked as they sat down.Lisha gave a small laugh, though th

  • Till death murder us apart   Ethan is dead

    The city woke the next morning to chaos.News headlines exploded with speculation. The celebration of new leadership was overshadowed by a single, haunting question: *Who killed Ethan Cross?*His body was taken for examination, and within days, the answer surfaced—poison. Not accidental. Not natural. Intentional.Lisha was left shattered. Confusion clung to her like a shadow. She replayed the night over and over, searching for something she had missed. He had been fine. He had been smiling. He had been alive.Investigators traced every detail, every movement, every hand that had touched a glass. The conclusion was chilling—his drink had been spiked. Quietly. Deliberately. In a room full of people.Staff members, bartenders, servers—no one was spared questioning. Suspicion spread like wildfire. Trust dissolved.Somewhere in that room, someone had decided Ethan Cross needed to die.Across town, far from the flashing cameras and whispered conspiracies, another storm was unfolding.Dave a
