A Message From Ross.

KANEThe world went wild it didn't pause on Rhea's death, it devoured it, used it for it's own gain..By the time noone came, her death was everywhere. On screens. On phones. In voices that sounded sincere but probably didn't care.I wondered how the news had gotten out that quickly. What had I been doing to not curtail it? I rubbed my eyes. Still, it happened to quickly. Everything happened to fast. It's like my world is spiralling out of control.I didn't need to watch the news to know what they were saying.I could feel it in the way the house seemed to hum with tension, in the constant vibration of muly phone abandoned on the kitchen counter.Rhea Callahan was dead.And the Empire was already circling itself. Every channel replayed her face like a relic.Old Interviews. Award ceremonies. Smiles that now felt staged by memories.Commentators spoke softly, reverently as if volume alone could convey respect.Influencers filmed themselves mourning a woman they'd never met, tears frame

No Need To Jump Into Conclusions.

THIRD PERSON POV; NARRATOR'S POVKane stared at the image in disbelief ignoring Ross's call. He couldn't believe his eyes.It couldn't be true.There was his Aria with that devious man in a position that made absolutely no sense.Was he kissing her or...what were they doing?His mind fell into muck.There had to be a reasonable explanation for this. There had to be.What the hell?What the hell was going on?Would Aria ever?No.It made no sense.She would never do something like this, she hated Ross. He was her ex, who she scared of.Yes, this photos must have been doctored to look like this. It looked so authentic though.Ross kept blowing up his phone with calls and this time he decided to take it.“Yes, what do you want bastard?!” he bit angrily.Despite Kane's frigid answer, Ross kept his composure.“Mr Callahan. How have you been? I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the last board meeting but I'm quite certain I didn't miss much.”Bastard.He shouldn't even be part of the fricking b

A New Development.

KANEI got back behind the wheel and shut the door harder than I had meant to. The sound echoed too loudly in the quiet meadow. Sharp as thoughts rattled round in my skull.I just sat there for a moment hands resting on the steering wheel. Staring straight ahead without really seeing anything.Then i started up the engine and pulled away.I drove slowly. Very slowly. The city slid past me in muted blurs. As streetlights bleed into one another. No traffic, I felt alone. Like I was the only one left.Normally going for a drive had always put my thoughts in order. But tonight they tangled tighter the more distance I put between myself and my problems.Aria's face kept intruding. Uninvited. She was my biggest problem.The way she frowned when she was thinking too hard. The way she laughed without warning like it surprised even her. I smiled subconsciously.Less than a month. That was all it had been. At first a week. Then a handful of weeks strung in together by a contract that bounded us

A Trip To Rohan’s Residence.

KANE"We'll be having this discussion at Rohan Callahan private residence." She said her voice didn't break, "He's already been informed."Detective Miller didn't give me a choice.She didn't phrase it like a request. The meeting was already set in stone.The decision had already been made long before she showed up outside my house.That alone set my heart on edge.Rohan didn't like surprises. He liked control, liked being prepared. If Miller had gone to him first it meant this wasn't just an update. It was something that affected all of us.Something she didn't trust to deliver to one person at a time."Why there?" I asked though I could vaguely guess the answer."Because what I have to say concerns the family," she replied. "And for now, only the family."For now.I'm guessing the word family didn't include those whom the Callahan name and title extended to by marriage. They implied that Aria would be left out of it. Maybe Sibil as well. Did the information somehow concern both of t

Let’s Postpone This Meeting.

THIRD PERSON POV; NARRATOR'S POV“I don't think we should be discussing this right now!” Kane intercepted.Everyone's gaze were immediately directed at Kane. It was awfully weird for him to be intercepting. Normally he'd be the first to want to know. He did open this investigation for that very purpose.Unless ...Zane smirked .“Why not?” he asked casually crossing his legs and taking a sip from his mug."I know none of you here will understand. She died. She's gone. This isn't....at least not now. We don't need to be doing this right now."The pain came tugging at Kane's chest once more.He'd just said it but the truth was that the reality of it hadn't settled in yet. And he didn't want it to. At least not now.He needed to keep believing. Keep believing she was still here. If he did then maybe...he didn't know what exactly it was hoping for. Only that it brought him relief. Maybe this is what it meant to postpone grief."I disagree brother." Zane spoke again. "I for one won't be at

Report Only To Me.

THIRD PERSON POV: NARRATOR'S POV“That's enough gentlemen,” Detective Miller miller interrupted Zanes next argument point. “I'll tell you. It's my job. My apologies to you kane but you all need to hear this.”Kane didn't speak. There was nothing left to say. He'd done his best.“You can all decide afterwards if you want to know more.”“Go right ahead please,” Zane urged.He suspected that Ross plans were underway. He'd be thrilled to discover what the Detective had in store.Kane was obviously displeased at the turn of events. Depending on what will be said Aria was toast. She'd given their enemies a leverage.“Based on the time of Rhea's death,” Detective Miller paused to look at the men's faces. Only kane and Rohan seemed to be uncomfortable at the reminder of Rhea's death. Zane's feigned sadness was easy to see through. He was enjoying this. What sick son would? Detective Miller thought.“...we suspect we might have the time Rhea was poisoned. She continued. “ It was between 3-4 am

The Unsuspecting Detective.

THIRD PERSON POV; NARRATOR'S POVDetective Miller parked her car in a desolate place. There was another car in front waiting. It was an abandoned factory. A flour mill from what she could tell.The moment she stepped out someone else did too. A middle aged man in crisp dark suit and dark rimmed glasses.He walked towards her.“Took you long enough,” he said stopping right in front of her.“I was held up by a boring family gathering.”The man just nodded and smirked.“The boss doesn't like to be kept waiting. You know that.”“Cut the crap buddy. I didn't come here to talk to you. Just do your fricking job.”“Last warning, bitch!” He enunciated the last word.The buzz of his phone coming from his pocket ended any further discuss.He pulled it out and answered.“Yes sir,” he said before handing her the phone.“Detective Miller, or should we keep Jackie.”“Call me whatever you prefer.”“Jackie it is then.” The man on the other end licked his lips. So, how have things been progressing so f

A Callahan Who Is Not Like The Rest.

ARIAI sat on the floor with my back against the bed. I pulled my knees tightly to my chest my arms ached .The realization didn't come at all at once.It never did.It came in waves. Slow. Cruel ones, like a nightmare that kept replaying no matter how many times I woke up from it.Every time I thought I'd reach the end of the thought it would circle back. More haunting than before.I had done this.Not alone. Never alone. But I had still played my part.My life had always been like this.Nightmarish. Messy. One bad turn after another. With moments where I convinced myself things were getting better. That this time would be different.But did they?The first day i stepped into the Callahan's world I felt it. That chill.I have always been on the edge. Nothing is going my way, or the way I plan.I remember when I thought I had left it all bag heavy on my shoulder. My heart heavier than the bag weighing blame down.I promised myself I'd survived, I had survived worst.Now I knew the tru

I Will Handle The Rest.

ARIAKane moved at last.He crossed the room quietly, like he always did. He did hesitate at all.He lowered himself besides me on the floor Instead of pulling me up or telling me to sit somewhere more comfortable. That mattered more than I wanted to admit. How he'd brought himself down to sit with me.The carpet wac cold beneath me my palms. For a moment, he didn't speak. He didn't crowd me either. Just sat close enough that I could feel the warmth radiating off him, so steady, so real.Then I felt his hand shifting. But he didn't take mine.He didn't wrap his fingers around my wrist the way Zane use to when he wanted to make a point. Didn't grip tight enough to leave bruises that looked accidental.Didn't hold on like Ross, too eager, too Insistent, like if he loosened his grasp I might vanish.Kane was really different, a breath of fresh air. My breath of fresh air.A smile spread across my face, inevitably. I needed this. All this while I'd been aching for it.Kane only hooked his

Who Was At The Hospital At 3AM?

KANEThe drive back to my office felt like I was navigating through a thick fog, even though the roads were clear.My head was spinning with the math of it all. Three in the morning. That was the window Miller gave us. And that was exactly when Aria decided to play the Good Samaritan.I gripped the steering wheel so hard I thought the leather might crack. Why did she have to be so damn naive? She thinks the world operates on intentions, but in this family, it operates on optics and evidence.I pulled into the private lot and didn't even wait for the valet. I needed to be alone. I needed to think before Zane started whispering in Rohan’s ear. Because I knew Zane. He wouldn't just whisper; he’d scream it from the rooftops if it meant seeing Aria in handcuffs and me in the dirt.I walked past my secretary without a word."Mr. Callahan, your two o'clock is waiting on the—""Cancel it," I snapped, not even looking back."But it's about the merger.""I don't care if the building is burning
