“And we can have that placed here.” Henry motioned to the spot on the laptop. “It doesn’t have to be elaborate but just enough to show that–”He was interrupted with the vibration of his phone. “I’m sorry.” He checked the caller’s ID and saw it was Anaya calling. He wanted to pick up but he was almost done with the meeting so he silenced his phone.“As I was saying, I don’t know what you think but the product should be enough to–” He received a text from Anaya and he apologized to the client before opening the message.His heart stopped for a moment too long when he saw the message.Ryle’s in the hospital. You need to come over now!Without wasting a second, he ran out of the conference room, ordering Alex to get the car started. In less than an hour, he arrived at the hospital address Anaya sent and asked for his son.“Henry.” He ran down the corridor when he saw Anaya with his mother and sister standing in the waiting room. Anaya was in tears and his mother was comforting her. Even

In the darkness, Anaya rested her head on the wall behind her, staring at the dull painting in the room in her apartment. It has been five days. Five days since she cooked lunch for her stepson and he was rushed to the hospital for poisoning. And five days since her marriage had taken a strain, a dent too big she feared it couldn’t be fixed.Henry hadn’t called her all this while and neither had she tried to contact him. She was dying to know how Ryle was doing but she didn’t dare step foot close to the hospital because she was scared.She has been having bad dreams so far of someone trying to kill her and she wasn’t sure which was real and which was not. She even dreamed about her mother last night and she had cried so hard she nearly collapsed.The four walls of her apartment had been the only thing she had seen for the past days. Henry had been generous enough to send all her stuff to her house so she didn’t even have to lift a finger. The boxes were exactly where they were droppe

Anaya looked out the window of the cafe, waiting for Margeret to arrive. It had taken a whole amount of willpower for her to step out of her apartment and into the world again.Maia has been her supporter, motivating her to take the right steps for their plans to work out and meeting with Henry’s mother was just the first step to the plan they crafted.The door to the cafe opened up and Anaya saw Margeret searching the building before her eyes finally fell on her. The elegantly dressed woman walked up towards her and she could see the sadness behind her eyes.“Oh, God, Anaya.” Margeret held her closely. “You look so worn out. Have you been eating well?” Anaya looked away, trying to hide her face behind her hair. When she had looked in the mirror that night after Maia left her apartment, she had the same reaction as Margeret.Dark circles surrounded her eyes and her skin was flaky and dry. Her cheekbones had sunken so low, her bones were sticking out. She looked like a ghost. Worse, t

Anaya stepped into the lobby of her company and she could feel the various pairs of eyes on her. The urge to squirm and avoid their gazes overwhelmed her but she resisted. It had been more than a week since she came to the office. Most of her work had been done through the phone with Norah sending her what could be sent virtually and the others being adjourned or cancelled.She knew it would come off as a surprise to her employees because ever since she took charge of her father’s company, she had never missed two days in a row, even when she was terribly sick. She took her job that seriously.Tightening the hold on her handbag, Anaya moved down the lobby as the employees greeted her, some even asking after her well-being. She had told Norah that she wasn’t feeling too well and technically, she didn’t lie.The last few days had been the hardest in her life and she couldn’t trust herself in front of others when her emotions were all over the place.“Boss!” Norah shot up from her chair

“Hello, bestie.” Daisy waved at Anaya who was staring at her, a little shocked to see her here.She had hoped that the next time she met Daisy was when the police were putting her behind bars for all the crimes she had committed but sadly, that wasn’t the case. Once again, Daisy has succeeded in taking her off guard.“I believe you lost the right to call me that a long time ago.” Anaya said as she took a few steps towards Daisy.Instinctively, she looked around the parking lot for anything out of the ordinary. She was standing face to face with the same person who wanted her dead and she couldn’t trust Daisy anymore.But if she were to judge from the past incidents, Daisy’s target wasn’t to kill her as she had first suspected. She simply wanted to ruin her life.“Or if you ever deserved the title to begin with.” Daisy scoffed as she pushed off from Anaya’s car. “You don’t need to be scared. I’m not here to take your life…yet.” Daisy tilted her head as she stared at Anaya with a laidbac
