Wren made the final zip of her carry-on suitcase.She was ready to head out from her trip to Barcelona.She would be out for a few days to seek a lifeline for the company but she also saw it as a jeans to step out of the suffocating pressure of the city.Wren was halfway down the stairs when she heard a noise below, making her stroll down more cautiously, peeking over the banisters.Two large men were on the floor wrestling another man down. It was Kael. They had him pinned down and tried to clasp cuffs round his wrists..“Oh my…” she hurried down. “What's this? What's going on? Hey! Stop that!”The head of her security, Vance, walked over to Wren.“Ma'am please step back. We apologize for the disturbance, but this man is an impostor. He’s not authorized to be here.”“What? He's not an impostor. He's….that’s Kael. He used to work for me. You assigned him here.”Vance grimly shook his head, “The man we assigned to you was David Ross, and he was found an hour ago, bound and gagged in a

“Hi.”“Hi yourself,” Grace greeted sultrily.Standing in the hallway was the cute room service attendant Grace met at the hotel’s club bar last night.They flirted shamelessly for a while until he told her the hotel policy was that staff couldn’t hook up with guests. But he promised, “work something out” and visit her the next day. Hence, why he was at her door now.“Come on in,” Grace said.The instant she closed the door came together in a hungry kiss.After a few minutes, breathing heavily, Grace pulled back with a playful grin.“Gimme a minute,” she whispered, and slipped into the bathroom.She went for her toiletry bag in the bathroom and took out a small foil packet containing a female condom, which she inserted into herself.By the time Grace came back out, Leo was already stark naked on the bed, smiling at her.“All prepared, I see,” Grace raised an eyebrow as she walked towards him.“Couldn’t wait,” he said.“I usually like a little wine before, you know,” she said. She picke

“Grace.”Grace turned from where she was about to get into the car with William.Charlotte stood there with a pale face that showed sadness. It seemed real, or at least like a good act of sadness.Charlotte stepped closer to Grace and hugged her hard with both arms. Meanwhile Grace stayed stiff in the hug, arms hanging at her sides, face very empty.Then Charlotte moved back, sighing.“I just wanted to say I’m so sorry about what happened. I know you two were really close. I didn’t like her much, but…”“No,” Grace interrupted, “You hated her. Completely.”She then walked into the car and shot the door, William also walking tightly to the driver's side.As the car started driving away from the cathedral, the view outside the window turned into grey and green streaks moving past.Grace froze with her fingers squeezed together on her knees.

Giving it back wouldn’t be ‘magnanimous,’ it would be spitting on her grave.”Miss Carter, your passion is noted, and your loyalty is commendable. But we must think of the company's future, not its past grudges,” Richard told her.“The company’s future was her vision,” Julianne shot back.“Okay that's enough now. This is clearly an emotional issue. I think we should table the Morell discussion for now and allow temperatures to cool.”But the intention in the room was clear. The undoing had begun.The next day, Julianne placed her letter of resignation on Richard’s desk.“This is a shame, Julianne. You're a promising talent. You could have a long future here.”“Thank you, Mr Chairman. But there’s for me here.”She left the building that afternoon and didn’t look back.*****Right across town was Felix, who was in full obsession of f
