Shadows and Secrets

Selena sat on her couch, the dim glow of the city lights spilling through the curtains. Her phone lay in front of her, the message flashing on the screen like a warning. “You can’t hide from this forever, Selena…”

Her fingers trembled as she reread it. Who could have sent this? Her mind raced through possibilities.

Of course… it could only be Lila.

A bitter smile tugged at her lips. Of course, Lila would be angry. But why? Why would she be furious now, after everything that

    What’s Missing Selena finally pushed herself away from the desk.Her eyes burned slightly from staring too long at the screen, and her head felt heavy from thinking in circles.Nothing solid.Just fragments.Clues that didn’t fully connect.She exhaled slowly.“I need a break…”Grabbing her phone, she stood up and headed toward the small café area inside the building. Maybe coffee would help clear her head. Maybe stepping away for a few minutes would help her think better.But as she turned the corner—She walked straight into someone.The impact wasn’t hard, but enough to make her step back quickly.“I’m so sor—”The words died in her throat.Adrian.For a moment—Neither of them moved.Neither of them spoke.Their eyes locked.And everything else faded.It had only been a few days.But it felt longer.Too long.Selena’s breath caught slightly.There was something in his gaze.Not just coldness.Not just distance.Something deeper.Something he was trying very hard to hide.And Adri

    Traces That Don’t ExistThree days.That was all he gave her.Three days to prove she wasn’t a traitor.Three days to fix something she didn’t even fully understand yet.But she knew one thing for certain—she had been set up.And whoever did it wasn’t careless.They were precise.Careful.Dangerous.By the time the sun began to rise, Selena was already dressed. There was no point lying in bed pretending to rest when her mind refused to be still. She grabbed her bag and left early, determined to get to the office before anyone else.If she was going to find anything, she needed space. Silence. Time.The building was unusually quiet when she stepped in. The usual buzz of conversation and movement hadn’t started yet. It felt… almost peaceful. But she didn’t let that distract her. She walked straight to the elevator, her reflection staring back at her from the metal doors—tired, but focused.When she reached her floor, the emptiness greeted her.Good.She walked quickly to her desk and s

    Three DaysSelena couldn’t sit still.Her apartment felt too quiet, too closed in—like the walls were pressing in on her thoughts, refusing to let her breathe properly.She stood up. Sat down again.Walked to the window. Stared outside.Nothing helped.The scene kept replaying in her mind.And more than that—Adrian’s eyes.Cold.Distant.Like she had become a stranger overnight.Her chest tightened.“It’s not fair…” she whispered.Her fingers curled slightly at her sides.“I didn’t do anything.”But saying it alone didn’t change anything.It didn’t fix the way he looked at her.It didn’t erase the way her heart cracked when he refused to believe her.She pressed a hand to her chest, breathing unevenly.I can’t stay here.Staying still felt like accepting defeat.And she refused to accept that.Not like this.Not when she still had a chance.Selena grabbed her bag.“I’m going back.”The decision came fast—almost instinctively.She didn’t allow herself to overthink it.Because if she d

    A Dangerous RealizationLila stood by the window, her arms crossed lightly as she stared out at the city below.It had been a week.Seven full days.And everything had gone… almost exactly as she planned.Selena was gone.Well—not completely gone.But close enough.Suspended.Disgraced.Whispers following her name like a shadow she couldn’t escape.Lila had made sure to keep track.Every move.Every reaction.Every shift in the company.And the best part?Selena and Adrian—They were no longer… them.A slow smile curved her lips.Finally.Distance.Silence.Coldness.Everything she had wanted to see between them.But the smile didn’t last.It faded almost as quickly as it came.Because something—Something wasn’t right.Her fingers tapped lightly against her arm as her brows drew together.“A week…” she murmured.And yet—No termination.No scandal.No police.No lawsuit.Nothing.Lila turned from the window slowly, her expression sharpening.That didn’t make sense.Not when it came t

    The Distance Between UsAdrian stood by the window, his hands resting against the cool glass.From this height, the city looked calm.Unbothered.Unaware.But inside him—There was nothing calm about it.His eyes were fixed on the parking lot below.On her.Selena.She moved slowly, like the weight of the world rested on her shoulders. Her steps lacked their usual confidence, her posture no longer straight, no longer sure.It didn’t suit her.And he hated that he noticed.His jaw tightened.This is what she did.The thought came sharp.Cold.Controlled.But just as quickly—Another voice rose.No… she wouldn’t.His gaze darkened.He exhaled slowly, dragging a hand through his hair.What was he supposed to believe?An anonymous message.A warning.“Selena is not who you think she is.”At the time, he had dismissed it.Almost.But now—Now this.The leak.The evidence.Her system.Her name.Everything pointed to her.Too perfectly.His fingers curled slightly.He watched as she reached

    Cracks in the TruthSelena didn’t remember how she got back to her desk.One moment she was in the conference room, surrounded by cold stares and suffocating silence—The next, she was sitting in her chair, staring blankly at her computer screen.Her hands trembled slightly.Suspended.The word echoed in her mind like a sentence she couldn’t escape.Her chest tightened.No… this isn’t right.“I didn’t do this…” she whispered under her breath.But the evidence—It all pointed to her.Too clean.Too perfect.Almost like it had been arranged.“Selena…”She flinched at the soft voice.Marisa stood beside her desk, her expression filled with concern, her brows slightly drawn together.“I’m so sorry,” she said gently. “I can’t believe this is happening to you.”Selena swallowed, forcing herself to stay composed.“I didn’t do it,” she said, her voice low but firm. “I swear, I didn’t.”Marisa didn’t hesitate.“I know,” she said.The certainty in her tone made something in Selena relax—just a
