ZARA TAYLORI stared into the red traffic light as my feet shifted relentlessly on the brake pedal of my car. The weight of the evening pressed against me. The air was thick with the faint hum of the city, the distant murmur of conversations blending with the sound of tires on wet asphalt. I could feel the tension building inside me, like the calm before a storm. The light flickered, almost as if teasing me to move, but I remained frozen, unsure if I was waiting for it to turn green or for something more... something I couldn’t yet name.My eyes drifted to the billboard, staring back at me was the picture of the city's most sought after couples. My husband and my stepsister. Another game the universe decided to play with me despite my pleas.The image on the billboard mocked me, the perfect smile of my husband and the radiant gaze of my stepsister, frozen in time as if their betrayal was a love story. My pulse quickened, and for a moment, the noise of the city faded away, leaving on

ZARA TAYLORI stood in front of the building, anticipating the joy of my life to burst through those doors. I wasn’t the only one. So many parents were just as impatient as I was. It has been hours since I dropped my daughter, Hazel, off at her school, and right now, I will do anything to have her in my arms once again. The huge bell rang and the doors were busted open with a lot of children rushing to their parents.I scanned the crowd, my heart racing, eyes desperately searching for her familiar face. Then, just as if time had slowed, I saw her, Hazel. My little girl, with her messy brown hair bouncing as she ran toward me. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, a grin spreading across her face.“Mama!” she shouted, throwing herself into my arms. I caught her easily, holding her tightly as if I could somehow make up for the hours we’d spent apart.“I missed you so much, Haze,” I whispered, brushing her hair from her forehead, inhaling the sweet scent of her childhood innocence.“I miss

ZARAThe New York breeze hit like a wave just as soon as I stepped out of the plane. I held Hazel with my hands as we descended. The air filled my hair and memories of everything I went through in this city flooded my mind like a hurricane. I felt Hazel's hands leave mine, and my fingers clutched my purse tightly. I felt like I was just thrown back into a hole I spent my life crawling out of.If I'm going to get rid of the weeds at Zenith Law firm, I have to be strong. I have to show my opponent, because I'm going to have many. I'm going to have to show them, I'm stronger, and more formidable.“Zara,” I heard a voice, and my fingers clutched my purse even tighter. “You can't run away from me now,” the voice said again. I gasped, and turned around.“Hey, it's me,” Vic said, holding her hands out. “Mama, are you okay?” I heard Hazel's voice. I looked around, wondering why I could hear him like he was standing next to me. “I'm fine baby, let's get to the car,” I picked her up and wal

ZARAI stared at Matthew, waiting for him to say it was a joke. But his face was calm. Too calm.“What do you mean, you have the same clause in your father's will?” I asked, though I already knew he wasn’t lying.“I mean exactly that,” he said, walking around his desk like he had all the time in the world. “My father and yours were very close. Business partners, friends. They built something big together and wanted to keep it in the family.”I laughed, but it was hollow. “By forcing us into marriage? That’s insane.”“Right now, it's insane to you. But it wouldn't have been years ago, if the accident hadn't happened,” he said.“Don't talk about that,” I said to him, walking towards the window.“We were the talk of the time, everyone wanted us together,” he said, walking towards me.“Then you ruined it,” I walked away from him, towards another part of the office.“What can I do to make you forgive me,” he said, and I scoffed.“If you think visiting her grave will make me forgive you, yo

ZARAAs the car moved, I couldn’t help but fidget. Today is the first time I will be walking into Zenith Law firm. It's one of the biggest firms in the country, and I can’t believe I have a massive stake in it. “What about the clause?” my mind went back there, and I groaned. I had spent all week with Vic, trying to figure out a way to outsmart the clause my father had placed but we found nothing. My father was a brilliant man, he thought of everything, and placed contingencies. “Nervous?” I heard Vic’s voice and I turned to look at her. “No,” I said sharply. “I was made for this obviously,” I said, trying to lighten the mood. “I just miss Hazel, I don’t like leaving her,” she smiled at her words.“I can’t say I understand the feeling, but I get you. I had the greatest mother love, and I see it in you,” her words seem to make me calm. Vic’s words made my chest feel warm. I smiled a little and looked back out the window.The tall buildings of downtown blurred past us as we got close
