The car came to a slow stop. The air was colder here. Rough winds swept across the edge of Crystal Valley Cliff, making the trees shiver in silence. The man dragged Kristen’s weak body out like a bag of trash, her head barely lifting.She couldn’t move. Couldn’t speak. The drug had taken everything from her except the pain.He dropped her right at the edge, letting her body dangle ever so slightly over the cliff. “What a shame,” he muttered. “Such a pretty girl… the world must have been too heavy for her.”Then he turned and rushed back to the car.A second later, he shouted, loud and fake, “Help! This girl’s about to jump!”“OMG!” a few vendors and passersby down the nearby trail looked up in panic and rushed over. But the strong wind held them back from getting too close.“Someone, please help save her!” the man shouted again, his eyes fixed on Kristen as she swayed near the edge.“Oh my God… what has come of this generation?” one old vendor muttered, standing in disbelief as he dr

"Sir… it’s been two days already," the officer said softly. Max didn’t look at him. His eyes stayed on the water as the cold wind brushed his face. "I’m sorry to say this, but..." The officer paused, lowering her voice. "She… she might not have made it." The words hung in the air like a heavy fog. Max still didn’t blink. His jaw tightened. "We may have to bring this to an end soon…" he added carefully, watching him. Max slowly turned to face him. His eyes were red but dry. "No," he said "We don’t stop until we find her". ….……… Mr. Creed burst into the room and came to an abrupt halt. There she was. Kristen lay on the hospital bed, barely moving. Her head was wrapped in thick bandages. Wires and tubes were connected to her. Machines beeped softly beside her, keeping track of every breath. His heart dropped and his eyes grew wide with shock. She looked nothing like the strong, fire-eyed girl he knew. “Oh no…” he whispered, taking slow steps closer. The sight of her like th

A few days after the funeral, Max and Lena stepped out of their car in front of the Anderson Company, ready to finalize a joint family business deal.Before they could reach the entrance, Naomi appeared out of nowhere. Her eyes blazed with grief and rage as she rushed forward and shoved Max so hard that he stumbled back.Lena quickly stepped in front of him and shoved Naomi in return, knocking her to the ground.“Are you out of your mind?” Lena hissed, glaring down at her.“Yes, I am!” Naomi spat as she scrambled to her feet. Her breathing was ragged, her whole body trembling. “And I’m losing every single piece of myself because of you two!”She brushed the dirt from her dress, her face twisted with fury. “You evil people. You’re responsible for her death! You put her through so much pain… she couldn’t take it anymore. That’s why she ended her life!”Her chest heaved, her hand shaking as she pointed at them both. “I swear, on everything I have left, I’m going to make you pay.”Lena st

The morning sun streamed through the windows of Max Anderson’s house, its bright rays landing directly on his face. Slowly, he opened his eyes. Blinking against the light, he looked down at his chest and realized he was bare.Confused, he tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness hit him. He pressed a hand to his head and slowly lay back down. Then, turning to his side, his eyes widened.Lena was there on the bed sleeping beside him with the blanket pulled up to her shoulders.Shock rushed through him. His heart pounded as adrenaline surged. He shot up from the bed, breathing quick and uneven as his eyes fixed on her still figure.Frowning, Max pressed his fingers against his forehead, trying to steady his thoughts. What happened? he asked himself. Was this real or was he imagining it?In a state of confusion and shock, Max paced in front of the bed, breathing heavily. His hands ran over his face, gripping it tightly as he tried to remember, something and anything but nothing came. His

“I’m glad to see you’re well,” Mr Green said, tightening the hug even when Max tried to pull away. His arms stayed firm around Max, as if afraid to let go again.Down the hallway, Mr Valtor appeared, his steady footsteps echoing softly. The moment his eyes caught the two men embracing, his steps slowed.Mr Green lifted his head slightly, his gaze meeting Mr Valtor’s. The warmth in his face dimmed. Slowly, he released Max and took a step back, bowing his head respectfully.Mr Valtor didn’t show any expression. He only looked at them briefly, then turned and entered his office which was a few steps away from where he stood..Mr Green straightened up again, watching the door for a moment. Then he turned back to Max and said softly, “I’ll see you soon, Mr Anderson.”Before Max could reply, Mr Green walked briskly down the hall, toward the direction of Mr Valtor’s office. Max said nothing as Mr Green walked briskly down the hall toward Mr Valtor’s office. After a few l
