The dimly lit nightclub was packed with people dancing to the thumping music. In the corner of the room, a man in his 50s sat at a table, his scarred face illuminated by the soft glow of a candle. Two young women sat across from him, giggling and batting their eyelashes as he flirted with them. The man had a menacing air about him, and the scar that ran from his forehead to his chin only added to his ominous presence. He took a long drag from his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke that hung in the air. As the night wore on, the man's behaviour grew more and more aggressive. He leered at the women and made lewd comments, his eyes darting around the room as if daring anyone to challenge him. As the man finished his cigarette, he stood up from the table and made his way to the dance floor, the women trailing behind him. The other patrons of the club gave him a wide berth as he moved through the crowd, his evil aura almost palpable. A woman in messy work clothes approached the man w

Perl scoffed at her colleagues who were talking among themselves about their boss and CFO's affairs. She wanted to laugh at the stupidity of these people around her. She already knew everything about Landon and Crystal. Standing up from her desk, she went to the restroom to freshen up a little with all this overloaded work. Perl walked into the restroom, and as she washed her hands, she heard faint sobs coming from one of the stalls. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should intrude, but she immediately recognized the voice of her friend. She knocked gently on the stall door and called out, "Crystal, are you okay in there? It's me, Perl." There was a long pause, and then her friend's voice, thick with tears, answered, "I'm fine, Perl. Just give me a minute." Perl leaned against the sink, waiting patiently. She knew that the things happening in the office would negatively affect Crystal. She would need time to compose herself, and she didn't want to rush her friend. Fina

The sky is getting dark. The breeze is getting refreshing, Crystal sat up and rubbed her eyes, trying to clear the sleep from her head. As she looked around, her eyes landed on the clock. Its was 9 pm. she realized that she was in Landon's room. Memories of few hours came flooding back to her - she had gone out with landon to meet her mom and ended up falling asleep in Landon's car. She glanced out the window and saw that a storm was approaching. The wind had picked up, and the sky was darkening quickly. Crystal felt a sense of calm wash over her as she watched the storm draw nearer. She got up from the bed and walked over to the window, feeling the cool breeze on her face. Looking outside, watching as the clouds grew darker and more ominous. The wind picked up, blowing leaves and small branches around in the yard. Crystal smiled to herself, feeling a sense of exhilaration as she anticipated the storm's arrival. She loved the way the rain washed everything clean and the thunder an

The room was filled with executives, all eagerly awaiting the arrival of their CEO, Emily. She was a force to be reckoned with - brilliant, decisive, and unyielding in her pursuit of success. As she entered the room, heads turned, and the chatter subsided. Iris took her seat at the head of the conference table, and with a quick nod, signaled for the meeting to begin. "Good morning, everyone," she began, her voice ringing out with confidence. "Today, I want to talk to you about our quarterly results." Iris went on to detail the company's financial performance over the past few months, highlighting the areas where they had excelled, and the areas where they needed improvement. Her speech was peppered with graphs, charts, and projections, all of which she explained with clarity and precision. But as she spoke, it became clear that Iris was not just talking about numbers and figures. She was talking about people. "We've made some tough decisions over the past few months," she said, he

As they sat there, enjoying the beautiful view and each other's company. Landon picked up his wine glass and take a sip, his grace was still on her face as he spoke. "Truly beautiful"Crystal looked up at Landon, her eyes brimming with emotion. "Yes the beaches are specially beautiful at night" she said, her voice soft. Landon picked something up from the side and stood up. He took a step closer to her, his eyes locked on hers. "You know, I was talking about you earlier," he said, his voice low and intimate. "You look just as beautiful tonight as you did the day we first met."Crystal felt her heart skip a beat as she looked up at her husband. " Why... are you behaving so cheesy today" she whispered.Landon leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. Ignoring her question he placed a flower bouquet in her hand "Here's a bouquet of flowers to match the beauty of my woman who brightens up my life every single day" he murmured, his hand caressing her cheek.She looked down at the
