AUTHOR'S POVLucas sat reclined in his leather chair, the polished mahogany desk separating him from his assistant, who sat stiffly on the other side. The silence in the office was oppressive, broken only by the faint ticking of the clock on the wall.“What’s the situation?” Lucas asked coolly, his fingers drumming lightly on the head of his cane.The assistant swallowed, choosing his words carefully. “The new batch of cancer medication…we administered it to one of the workers who was just diagnosed of cancer for final testing. Instead of improving, his condition worsened drastically. He…he might die anytime soon.”Lucas’s expression didn’t flicker. “That gives us enough time.” He leaned forward slightly, his tone crisp. “Contact his family. Compensate them generously, and make sure they stay silent. We’ll release the drug as scheduled.”The assistant’s face paled. “Sir…that may not be wise. The manufacturer already rushed production to meet the deadline. They didn’t take the necessar

AUTHOR'S POVThe Benjamin mansion loomed with its usual quiet authority, but inside the living room, the air was heavy with expectation. Grandma sat at the head of the table, her sharp gaze moving between Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin, who sat close by, while Lucas and Sophia occupied the opposite side.Lucas reached into his folder and, with deliberate calm, slid a picture across the polished table. It stopped in front of Grandma—a CT scan of a tiny baby.Mrs. Jane gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. Grandma’s eyes widened as she leaned closer, her hands trembling slightly as she picked up the image. They both were too stunned to speak.They both turned at once to Mr. Benjamin. But unlike them, he remained unfazed, his face carved from stone. “Well,” he said flatly, “she is pregnant with his child.”Lucas’s voice was steady, but there was a flicker of pride in his tone. “Given the recent situations and events, I wasn’t sure when to tell you. But I couldn’t keep postponing it. Sophia will s

AUTHOR'S POVLucas strolled into his father’s office with his usual air of confidence, a faint smile tugging at his lips.“Father, you wanted to see me? Shall I stay for lunch? I’ll have them prepare something special for you,” he said lightly, not noticing the storm brewing across the room.Behind the desk, Mr. Benjamin sat rigidly in his chair, eyes dark, jaw tight. He didn’t look at his son when he spoke, his tone low and venomous.“You lied to me.”Lucas blinked, caught off guard. “What are you talking about?”“You’re feigning ignorance?” Mr. Benjamin’s voice rose, raw fury breaking through. “How much more will you disappoint me!?”Confused, Lucas raised his hands slightly, almost in defense. “Calm down, Father. Explain what you mean so I can…”He didn’t get to finish. Mr. Benjamin snatched the document and flash drive from his desk and hurled them toward him. They slid across the polished floor, stopping at Lucas’s feet.Lucas’s expression flickered. He bent down, picked up the p

AUTHOR'S POVThe soft glow of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, bathing the room in a warm, golden light. Richard stirred first, waking up to the peaceful rhythm of Madison’s breathing. He shifted slightly, his gaze landing on her sleeping form, her face serene and peaceful as she lay with her back to him. A small, loving smile crept onto his lips.He couldn’t help himself. Gently, he slid his arm around her waist, pulling her closer, his chest pressing against her back. Madison stirred slightly, groggily lifting her head before blinking her eyes open. She turned her face toward him, the sunlight catching the softness of her features, and a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips."Good morning," she whispered, her voice barely above a breath.Richard’s smile deepened, his heart fluttering. “Good morning,” he replied, his voice full of warmth. He tightened his embrace around her, savoring the closeness.But Madison’s eyes wandered down to his wrist, and her smile fal

AUTHOR'S POVMadison sat motionless on the chair beside the operating room. Her eyes were red and swollen, her face pale, her hands trembling faintly on her lap. The bright hallway lights above seemed cold—too bright, too empty.The sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. Mrs. Benjamin appeared, breathless, her face filled with worry.“Madison… Madison, what happened?” she cried as she rushed over.Madison stood up slowly, her lips quivering. She tried to speak, but her throat closed up. Finally, in a trembling voice, she whispered, “I’m sorry… Richard got badly hurt. He was trying to save me.”Mrs. Benjamin froze, her face draining of color. “What…? Oh, goodness…”Without another word, she pulled Madison tightly into her arms. Madison’s body shook as the tears she’d been holding back finally burst free again. Mrs. Benjamin stroked her hair gently, whispering, “It’s alright, dear… It’s alright…” even though her own voice trembled.The two stayed that way.clinging to eac
