My heart ached as I watched him being taken away, knowing that he was jealous that night and that there had been a mistake. I quickly gathered my thoughts and tried to devise a plan to help Drenver. I find my bag, my phone, and my belongings hurriedly. I leave the house just to see someone I did not expect to be here in the middle of the night. It was Mr. Lee; he was leaning on his car. I approached Mr. Lee cautiously, wondering what he was doing here and if he had anything to do with Drenver's sudden arrest. His expression was unreadable as he looked at me as if assessing my response. "He needs to be in jail," he said quietly, his words sending a chill down my spine. I couldn't believe what I heard. Is that the one he said before that he would take care of Drenver, which he said I should have done long ago? Mr. Lee's words confirmed my suspicions, leaving me with a sinking feeling in my stomach. As I stood in shock, I realized that Mr. Lee's involvement in Drenver's arrest wa

I rearranged documents on my desk, finding it difficult to concentrate on the spreadsheet. Like every other Friday, it was just another Friday at work, and I was buried with emails and deadlines. Today, though, there was a change in feeling. I couldn't quite put my stomach's fluttering down.I went out of the office first to get the files I had the employees do. I asked Tracy, "Where is the file I need for this afternoon's meeting?" Tracy hesitated momentarily before responding, "I'm sorry, I must have forgotten to give it to you. Let me go grab it right now." I felt a sense of relief wash over me as Tracy hurried off to retrieve the file, grateful for her quick response.I smelled something inappropriate in my nose. It was a strange odor that made me feel uneasy. I hoped it wasn't something serious causing the smell. As I waited for Tracy to return with the file, the scent grew more pungent and overpowering. I couldn't shake the feeling of uneasiness that washed over me, and I wonder

I quickly got up when I felt the nausea wanted to escape my mouth and rushed to the bathroom, barely making it in time before vomiting. I immediately knew something was seriously wrong with the sandwich and vowed never to eat from that place again. As I washed my mouth out and tried to calm my racing heart, I couldn't shake the feeling of disgust and regret for not trusting my initial instincts. The taste and smell of the food lingered in my mouth, making me feel even more nauseous.Someone gently taps my back and gives me a napkin. Gratefully taking the napkin, I wipe my mouth and see Trence offering me a water bottle. I thank them profusely, still feeling shaky and weak from the sudden illness. As I sip the water, I can't help but wonder what could have caused the sandwich to make me so sick. Was it expired? Contaminated with something? I shudder at the thought, grateful for the kindness of the stranger who came to my aid. As I finished the water, I began to feel slightly better,

This human being inside of me will grow into something dark and destructive, feeding off of the guilt and shame that consumed me. Deep down, I knew I had made a grave mistake that would haunt me for the rest of my days. The love and connection I had found that night now seemed like a distant memory, overshadowed by the pain and regret that filled my heart. I realized that true love couldn't be built on lies and deceit, and I was left alone to face the consequences of my actions. I will grow this child alone, knowing that the darkness within me will only continue to grow as a reminder of my past mistakes. I vowed to do everything in my power to protect this innocent life, even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness in the process. I emailed Tracy to say that I will resign from my job. I need to do something, but I need to figure out where to start or how I will navigate this new chapter of my life as a single parent. I hope to find the strength and courage to make things right and

He walked through me, and gently grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. I could feel my heart racing as he drew me in, his presence overwhelming me in the best way possible. Despite knowing the risks of getting too close to him, I could not resist his magnetic charm. As our bodies drew nearer, I couldn't help but wonder if crossing that line from professional to personal was a risk worth taking. His touch sent shivers down my spine, and in that moment, all I wanted was to let go of my inhibitions and give in to the undeniable chemistry between us. But as his lips brushed against mine, I knew this was a dangerous game. The consequences of mixing business with pleasure flashed through my mind, but the allure of his intoxicating presence was too strong to resist. In that fleeting moment of uncertainty, I decided to throw caution to the wind and let myself be consumed by the passion building between us. As our embrace deepened, I knew this risky venture would lead to the ultimate d
