Leona pushed herself away from the door and gathered enough strength to head upstairs. Her steps were light but tired, her body still aching from the long day. She walked straight to her father’s room and knocked gently before pushing the door open.Her dad was sitting on the edge of his bed, reading glasses perched on his nose, a newspaper spread across his lap. When he saw her, he lowered the paper and gave her a warm smile.“Leona,” he said softly, “how was work today? And how are you feeling?”Leona leaned against the doorway for a second, gathering her breath before walking in. “Work was fine,” she said carefully, her voice low. She didn’t want him to worry, but she also didn’t want to lie. “And… I went to the hospital today, after I passed out. The doctor said I need to rest more.”Her father’s eyes darkened with concern. He set the newspaper aside and removed his glasses, folding them neatly on the nightstand. “You went to the hospital? Why didn’t you tell me before you left?”

First Step

Leona drove into the company’s parking lot slowly, her hands gripping the steering wheel tighter than usual. Her body was still sore, but her mind was sharper today. She needed to look normal, at least in front of everyone.As soon as she stepped out of her car, she didn’t even get the chance to fix her bag on her shoulder before Dana came rushing toward her.“Ma'am!” Dana’s heels clicked quickly against the pavement, her face full of worry. Without waiting for permission, she wrapped her arms around her boss tightly.Leona stiffened at first, caught off guard, then let out a small laugh. “Dana… I can’t breathe.”Dana pulled back, eyes glossy as if she had been crying earlier. “You scared me yesterday. Do you know how many times I almost drove back to the hospital last night? I couldn’t stop thinking about you.”Leona touched her shoulder softly. “I’m okay now. Really. The doctor said I just need to rest more. Nothing serious.”Dana didn’t look convinced. She crossed her arms and stud

Do This Alone

THIRTY MINUTES LATERLeona sat a little straighter in her chair after Dana left, her fingers brushing over the stack of files on her desk. She pulled the first one closer, flipping it open, though her eyes didn’t really move across the words. The quiet hum of the air conditioner filled the room, mixing with the faint sound of phones ringing outside her office.She tapped her pen lightly against the paper, trying to gather her focus. Work was familiar. Numbers, contracts, designs, those things never lied. They didn’t break you or leave scars. They only demanded attention.A few minutes passed before the soft knock at the door broke through her thoughts.“Come in,” Leona called, her voice calm but slightly tired.Dana pushed the door open and stepped inside, a small smile curving her lips. She held her tablet against her chest like it was a shield. “I’ve booked everything.”Leona looked up, relief washing over her face. “Already? That was fast.”“You know me.” Dana shrugged lightly, wal

I Would Never Forgive You

The ride home was quiet, the low hum of the car the only sound filling the space. Leona stared out of the window, the city lights blurring past in streaks of gold and white. Her body was tired, but her mind kept circling around tomorrow’s trip. Stonehaven. The very thought of that city made her chest heavy, but determination sat firm in her heart.When they reached the house, her driver came around to open the door. She stepped out slowly, clutching her bag close to her side. The porch lights glowed warmly against the night sky.Inside, the faint smell of tea drifted through the hall. She found her father in the living room, sitting in his favorite armchair with a cup resting on the table beside him. The television was on low volume, though he seemed more lost in thought than actually watching it.“Leona,” he greeted softly when he saw her, concern shadowing his eyes. “You’re home late.”Leona dropped her bag onto the couch and sank into the seat opposite him. “Work ran longer than I

A Warning

The low hum of the engines filled the cabin, steady and constant, almost like a lullaby. Leona leaned back in her seat, her fingers lightly tracing the rim of the glass of water sitting on the tray beside her. She hadn’t touched it again after the first sip.Outside the window, the sky stretched endlessly, blue fading into streaks of white clouds. Somewhere far below, Crestfall was already a memory, shrinking behind her as Stonehaven drew closer.Her heart wouldn’t calm down. Every few minutes, she found herself adjusting in her seat, crossing and uncrossing her legs, tugging slightly at the sleeve of her dress.Selene’s voice from last night echoed in her head, that mocking tone that always made her blood boil.“Help me talk to Dad.”Leona’s hands tightened into fists at the memory. Selene never changed. She always wanted something, always twisting words, always trying to get what she wanted without caring who she hurt along the way.“No,” Leona whispered to herself, shaking her head
