Her heart skipped.

“What do you mean?” she replied, trying to keep her voice steady.

Adrian studied her face carefully.

Every reaction.

Every flicker in her eyes.

Every breath.

Then—

Without breaking eye contact—

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the folded paper.

Selena’s stomach dropped.

No.

No…

He held it between them.

“Someone sent me this,” he said.

Her fingers curled slightly at her sides.

“Read it.”

She didn’t move.

Couldn’t move.

“Selena.”

Her name rolled off his tongue, low and

  • Twisted INTENTIONS    Chapter Thirty Two

    One Last ChanceSelena couldn’t sit still.She had tried.God knew she had tried.But every time she sat down, every time she forced her eyes onto her screen, her mind dragged her back to the same thought—One day.That was all she had left.One day to prove herself.One day to clear her name.One day before everything… ended.Her fingers tightened slightly around the edge of her desk.Adrian’s voice echoed in her head, as clear as the moment he said it:“Three days.”At the time, it had felt like enough.Like she had time.Like she could fix things.Now—It felt like a countdown to her ruin.Selena exhaled slowly, pressing her fingers against her temple.“Think… just think,” she whispered under her breath.The missing footage.The wiped timeline.The accusation.None of it made sense.And yet—Someone had gone through the effort to erase that exact moment.Which meant one thing.“They were there…” she murmured.Her eyes slowly lifted.“If the footage is gone… then the person knew ex

    Words That Linger Hours passed.But for Selena, time didn’t feel like it was moving forward.It felt stuck.Looping.Repeating the same moment over and over again.Adrian smiling.Adrian holding her.Adrian looking at someone else the way he used to look at her.She forced her eyes back to the screen in front of her, trying to focus.But nothing stayed.Everything blurred.“…get a grip, Selena,” she whispered under her breath.But it wasn’t that simple.Because no matter how hard she tried to push it away—The feeling stayed.A tight, uncomfortable pressure in her chest.And what made it worse?She didn’t even understand it.Why did it bother her this much?Why did it matter who Adrian smiled at?Why did it feel like she was losing something… she never even had?Selena exhaled slowly, pressing her fingers lightly against her temple.“This is ridiculous…”And yet—She couldn’t stop thinking about it.When Adrian finally stepped out of the office hours later, dressed sharply for his me

    Too Close to IgnoreSelena couldn’t focus.Not on her desk.Not on the screen in front of her.Not on anything.Her eyes kept drifting back to Adrian’s office.The door had closed minutes ago—him and Sarah inside.Talking.Laughing… probably.Selena exhaled sharply and stood up again.She had already walked past his office twice.Now she found herself doing it a third time.“This is ridiculous…” she muttered under her breath.And yet—She slowed when she got close.Her steps softened.Almost unconsciously.She paused just near enough—Trying to catch something.Anything.A voice.A laugh.A word.But the door was thick.And all she got was silence.Selena clenched her jaw slightly.Why do I even care?“Selena?”She turned quickly.One of the office assistants stood nearby, holding a tray.Two cups of coffee.“Mr. Adrian asked for this to be taken in,” the girl said.Selena’s eyes dropped to the tray.Then slowly—She reached out.“I’ll take it.”The assistant hesitated. “Oh—it’s okay

    Sarah Selena didn’t realize how long she had been standing there.Her eyes were still fixed on them.On him.On her.Adrian and the woman stood close, their conversation easy, natural… like there was no effort needed between them.Like they had done this a thousand times before.And Adrian—He was still smiling.Selena’s chest tightened again.That smile…She hadn’t seen it in days.Not since everything happened.Not since he started looking at her like she was a stranger.But now—He was giving it so freely to someone else.A quiet frustration stirred inside her.Unfamiliar.Unwanted.“Selena?”She blinked, slightly startled, and turned.Marisa stood beside her, following her gaze.“Oh…” Marisa said softly, a small knowing smile forming on her lips. “You’ve seen her.”Selena hesitated for a second before asking,“Who is she?”Marisa looked back at them again, then said casually,“That’s Sarah.”The name settled between them.Simple.But it didn’t feel simple.“Sarah?” Selena repeate

    A Stranger in His Arms “Because… they don’t want to get caught.”The words lingered in the air long after Selena said them.She stared at the screen, her eyes fixed on the gap where the footage should have been. That empty space felt louder than anything she had seen all day.It wasn’t just missing.It was removed.Cleanly.Deliberately.Her chest tightened.“This isn’t normal…” she whispered.It wasn’t a glitch. It wasn’t an error.Someone had gone out of their way to make sure that exact moment disappeared.Which meant only one thing—They knew exactly what they were doing.And worse…They were ahead of her.Selena slowly stepped back from the monitor, her mind racing faster than she could control.Someone used my system.Someone erased the evidence.Someone planned this.Not just to frame me……but to make sure I can never prove the truth.A chill ran down her spine.“This is bad…” she murmured under her breath.Not small bad.Not manageable bad.This was the kind of problem 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
