1. Don't Look Away

Lori "You forgot the reservation?!" I snapped, pacing the kitchen ties, hands fisted. Today was supposed to be a special day and yet, I found myself in a whirlwind of anger. "I'm sorry, Ma'am. I thought...""You thought?!" I whirled on her. "It is our anniversary! I left one thing in your hands, one!"The maid Ava bowed her head, Feigning regret. I saw right through it. I had been seeing right through her fake appearances for years and yet Alex wanted us to keep her still. Left for me, I'd rather fire her since she wasn't good for anything. I sighed."I had a long day." I muttered, trying not to scream. " All I wanted was a dinner with my husband."Ava mumbled something under her breath, I glared at her. "What was that?!" Before she could reply, he walked in. Alex—my husband—Tall, warm eyed, still in his dress shirt like nothing's wrong. "Hey." He wrapped his arms around me, kissing my cheeks. "Babe, let it go." "She forgot the reservation, Alex. The whole dinner is ruined."He

2. You Were Never Mine

Lori "You think I wouldn't find out?!" I threw the tablet across the kitchen counter, screen lit up with the transaction logs. Alex didn't flinch, he casually sipped his expresso. Like I didn't just tell him, someone has been laundering money through my foundation."That's my name on every transfer," I snapped. "But your signature, Alex. Yours!""So?""So?" My voice cracked. "It is fraud. It's illegal. That's my reputation!" "It is handled," he said icily. "Your charity is cleaner than my shoes. They won't trace it."I tightened my fist. "My team already knows. You used me, you used the foundation—""I funded that foundation," he finally looked up. "Without my money, you'd be holding bake sales." I stepped back like he slapped me. *Is this why you are so calm? Because you think I will roll over like I always do?""You are acting like a child.""No, I'm acting like a woman who just found out that we husband was a criminal."He laughed, shaking his head in disappointment like I said

3. A Test Or A Solution

Lori"What the hell is going on?" I shouted as the officers, shoved me out of the lawyers office and towards the waiting squad car. "You are under arrest, Mrs Harper." One of them said flatly. My body boiled in fear, I had an inkling what was going on but maybe this was something else? I tried to console myself.."For what?" I yelled back as they dragged me down."Fraud, embezzlement and Grand theft." It was him. It doesn't take a genius to know that Alex was behind this. I was too slow to act. To save myself and here he was, making the first move so I can pay for his crime."You don't understand, I didn't do those things. I haven't committed a crime in my entire life.""That's not for you to say." The officer dismissed me. I laughed, panicked. "Are you serious? This is a joke right? I didn't do any of that?!" They ignored me, cold and robotic.I tried to fight them off but they cuffed me so fast, I barely had time to blink. My heels scraped the pavement, my voice cracked. "I need t

4. They Always Come Back

Andrei“…and then I told her, ‘If he’s not texting you back, he’s just not that into you,’ but would you believe she still waited?”I blinked. Stared at the woman sitting across from me. Blonde, glossy lips and a red dress that screamed 'try hard' and a voice that never stopped running. My jaw ached from clenching it. My father had set me up with her. Another in a long line of his desperate attempts to secure his legacy through my bloodline. "Andrei, you’re the last Orlov left. You need an heir." I didn't need this. I needed silence, I needed something different, a challenge. A different puzzle in the game. I love puzzles especially when it came in the form of measly humans. I checked my watch for the third time. "Oh bored already?!" She giggled. "Don't worry, I'm not that high maintenance." I said nothing, my phone buzzed. Thank God. It was Levi, one of the few people I tolerated. A single message with a video file attached. "Watch this now!" His text screamed like a matter of ur

5. Are You Ready Now?

Lori "You are lying!" "I'm not." The doctor said calmly, flipping through my chart. "You are pregnant."I blinked, hard. My stomach flipped, nausea and my disbelief played a part. "No, I can't be. I...I stopped the fertility meds last month, they were messing with my appetite."Alex and I had been married for some years and I have always wanted a child. We wanted a child but it became all daunting throughout the years that we stopped trying. Then I didn't stop until last month. I thought we would be able to raise a family, that was before his betrayal surfaced. The air that flowed from my lungs crawled in my throat. The doctor looked at me, hesitated. "That's...exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."Something in her voice made my skin crawl."What?" She turned the chart toward me, tap a line of text. "The lab ran some checks on the medication you submitted with your last blood panel." "Okay..." I was impatient. "You weren't on fertility boosters. The drugs in your system
