101: Play your part

MIMIMy mouth moves quietly as I spot Devon across the table irritated. I looked down at his plate. We ordered the same thing so there isn't a reason he should be displeased."The food not to your liking, dear?" I muttered borely, slipping a spoon into my mouth as his glare shifted toward me. He hesitated for a moment, eyes scanning the room before finally parting his lips."Didn’t I ask for the entire restaurant to be rented out?" he said, irritation threading through his tone."You did," I replied, setting my spoon down and lifting my glass of wine. I took a slow sip before placing it back on the table. "But I called and made a few rearrangements."Devon let out a bitter tsk, his gaze wandering as he scoffed. "And why would you do that?""Because we need the public to see us as a united front," I answered, locking eyes with him. "No one’s going to believe we’re madly in love if we’re never seen out together."He started, "But of all the—""Smile more, will you, dear?" I cut in, watc

102: Anniversary of the century

MIMIMy heart plummeted to my stomach. My eyes widened as she leaned back casually, draped in a red, silky halter dress that exposed more than it concealed. My gaze trace from the curve of her bodice to the daring open back, and down to the hemline that was so scandalously short I bet she’d struggle to tug it past the middle of her thigh.I recalled Abigail's text, the same text that made me overreact in the rest room. And I looked down at her dress. Was she trying to seduce my husband to make him consider the merge?She got up almost immediately and pulled me into a cold hug that made my skin crawl. I barely wrapped my hands around her but patted her on the back just because of the eyes around us. Our eyes clashed and the animosity for each other was clear."What a pleasant surprise, Abigail. I didn’t imagine running into you here." I broke eye contact as she threw her head back in that insufferable, grating cackle of hers."What are you doing here—and in my seat?" I demanded.Abigai

103: A game?

MIMII needed to see it with my own eyes.After what Abigail said, I had to confirm it for myself. I didn’t even wait for my dinner date with Devon to end. Instead, I picked up my purse, leaned in to give him a goodbye kiss, and muttered the excuse that I needed to see the Ferry for myself.It wasn’t a complete lie.Abigail had her little setup hidden away in one of the Ferry’s compartments.But still, as I walked, a sharp unease gnawed at me.Was this just another one of Abigail’s clever schemes to get rid of me?The thought too wasn’t far-fetched. I should have made an excuse, slipped out, and never looked back. But I didn’t. I kept walking.I strolled down the seemingly endless hallway with Abigail at my side, her men trailing like behind. The walk stretched on, each step heavier than the last, until we finally stopped at one of the Ferry’s doors. From the inside, the door creaked open. Abigail gave a subtle gesture, urging me to enter first. I stepped in, and she followed, her men

104: Red or Black

ABIGAIL "Lysander has redacted his statement about you not being fit to run Nash Corps." Carlos curled his lips into a smug smile as he tossed the red envelope toward me while two women fussed with my hair. I picked it up, glanced at him, and tugged the string until the flap slid open. I pulled out the papers, a neat stack showing every board member’s vote, Lysander’s name right there with the others. They’d all voted for me, just like we planned.I scoffed and tossed the envelope aside as the stylists went back to pampering me."Why wouldn't he?" I pursed my lips. "The blackmail we have on him about his affair with his wife's niece, should have worked." I let my words hang and watched Carlos’s proud little smirk. He acted like he’d done something, but I was the one who'd turned up at Lysander’s house for dinner and stumbled on the incriminating evidence. Like the saying goes, If you want something done, you fucking do it yourself.The only thing this imbecile did was send the pack

105: No one is coming for us

CORRIE I was in a tunnel, water pooling up to my knees. It hadn’t been that deep when I first stepped in, but the farther I went, the higher it seemed to rise.Where was I? I had no idea.Where was I going? I couldn’t say.The only thing pushing me forward was curiosity, maybe a little bit of hope.At the far end of the tunnel, a white light glowed faintly. With every step, I felt closer to uncovering what it was—but at the same time, each step also became harder. The current of the water tugged against me, pulling me back, making me question why I even bothered to continue.So why was I still moving forward? I didn’t know. I couldn’t even remember how I’d gotten here.My ragged breaths echoed around me as I paused, bending forward with my hands braced on my thighs. Then, without warning, the light at the end of the tunnel began to fade—until it vanished into darkness.My brows furrowed, ears straining. A sound rose from the darkness. I held my breath, waiting, listening. But I didn’

106: Rise from the dead

CORRIE "Why are you doing this?" I asked, but she only smirked."Since there are none," Abigail hissed, completely ignoring me. "I have to tell you that if you try to make a scene or even attempt to escape, my men won't hesitate to discipline either of you. So be careful, and think wisely." I nodded.“Gentlemen,” Abigail clasped her hands together.“Lead them to the stage, where they’ll be introduced to their bidders.”A gun jabbed into my back, forcing me forward without a choice. One of the men pulled the door open, and one by one we filed out of the room. My heart pounded so hard it felt like it might give me away.We trailed down a long corridor. Each time we passed a window, I caught myself wondering.Should I make a scene, try to run? Even if I succeeded, what then? If that woman was right, if we were in the middle of nowhere, where could I even go? That's if I don't get my brains blown out before I get a chance to escape.Eventually, the other woman and I were separated from A

107: The Ferry is sinking

ABIGAIL It was Emmette in the audience. It was really him. A part of me couldn’t believe it, but that face—that voice—that boisterous smirk. It was unmistakable.But he should be dead. The blast had been too intense. His body should have evaporated—yet it was never found. Could it be that he escaped? He stood there, unscathed, and my body was caught between trembling in rage and fear.“Sh—Sh” Before I could give the order to my men to fire on Emmette, bullets suddenly tore through the room. Everyone dropped low as my men retaliated, unleashing a storm of gunfire of their own, that lasted nearly two minutes.When it finally calmed, another barrage erupted, louder and fiercer. I scanned the room in panic—Corrie and Mimi were gone. I tried to rise to give commands, but one of my men shoved me down, shielding me with his body.“Get off me! What are you doing? Mimi and Corrie have escaped!” I hissed, struggling to see if Emmette had slipped away too.“Miss De Ronte, stay down!” he barked

108: Miss me

SALEMI survived the accident. Some good Samaritan dragged me right out of the car before it exploded. My body still hurts all over and I wasn't even supposed to be here with the amount of injuries I sustained, it was a chore walking but I endured the pain.Because if Corrie doesn't see me, she won't follow my men to safety. The plan is to get Corrie, tell her to leave with my men and if I do hold them back then they should leave me to die. I can't help but admit that I'm selfish. I wiped off Corrie's Memories to save her from the trauma of having such memories just to leave her with another trauma.The ship is already sinking as planned. That means one of my men already got to the control room. And if this ship doesn't sink all the way. Every single one of my men had planted bombs in every single compartment. And from the sounds of things, one had already been set off. Until Corrie was found. Then to hell with this fucking Ferry."Corrie!!!" I yelled, even my nape hurts. But I still

109: I don't know who you are

EMMETTE Was there something on my face? Maybe it was surprising seeing me with a gun. That's why she's running away from me. Or maybe she didn't see me properly, she must have thought I must have been one of Abigail's men.But when she came across I and Salem earlier, she called out to Salem. Not me. She almost ran to him if not for me. There had to be a reason. Was she mad at me? I'd understand if she was. I was gone, she must have been scared. I shouldn't have put her through that.Or maybe she thought I was a ghost. I wouldn’t blame her for freaking out.I could hear the other side of the ferry erupting as I trailed behind Corrie. She tried to shake me off, but barreled through a door that led out onto the deck.She was cornered, clutching the metal bars that stood between her, the open waters, and the deck behind. Her breaths came in sharp gasps, and not once did she look at me. It hurt—to see her like this, as if I were nothing more than a stranger.Finally, she turned to me.

110: She'll Convulse

EMMETTE "I'm sorry.." I muttered in a low tone, while my hand thread through Corrie's hair as she looked peaceful sleeping. "I'm really sorry." I muttered, a desolate crack in my voice as I heave a quiet sigh. I reached for Corrie's hand, trying to intervene my hands in hers. "You can give me the silent treatment. You can ignore me, hell, you can spend very single dime of mine till you run all my accounts dry." I took another small pause, this time not looking at her face but her feeble pale hands."Just don't tell me you don't know anything about me. Don't scare me Corrie, I beg of you." I whispered pushing her hands towards my lips. I plant a small gentle kiss and again my hand finds it's way to her face. It looked red, like she'd been slapped multiple times across the face. I hadn't noticed back in the ferry because she had make up on. Now, seeing this, feeling the impact of the redness, I should have killed Abigail with my own hands.A nurse walks into the ward, strolling in her
