“Yes I understand, but I’m still not leaving my apartment because of that. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Aside from AJ being around, Grace is also staying with me.” Omar sighed on the other end. “That man died in police custody, I’m sure you understand what that means. Whoever is behind this doesn’t stop at locked doors or bodyguards.” Wren resumed pacing. “Which is exactly why leaving won’t help. If they found me here, they’ll find me anywhere else. At least here, I’m familiar with the layout and I know more ways to protect myself now. Plus I doubt they’d come back here so soon knowing we’ll be taking measures.” Omar said with concern, “Wren, this is about your life.” She stopped again, this time in front of the narrow window at the end of the hall. “I know what it’s about,” she said. “But I

When he went into the house she still followed him in. “Babe,” she called for the umpteenth time since their joint journey in the elevator. Felix was over it. He didn’t answer her and just headed towards the bedroom, trying to take off his shirt. “At least talk to me. Did I do something wrong? Because if I fucked up somehow, you need to tell me. You can’t just ice me out like this. It's so not fair.” All Felix wanted to do was just sleep and she wouldn’t even give him the peace of doing that. He left her alone in the room and went to shower, came back out ready to sleep and she was still there. He got into bed and pulled the covers over himself. “You can’t just shut me out.” Bianca sat on the bed with her arms wrapped tight around herself. “I deserve better than this.” “Okay, fine. I’m sorry, okay, babe? Whatever I did or w

It was a few minutes before noon, a slightly cold day, and the day Kael was eventually discharged from the hospital. Kael came down the hospital stairs while putting on his jacket which seemed to fit into his biceps a little easier than he normally would have. He’d lost a little weight.He continued down and headed down the street, wanting to take a little walk before getting into a cab. But then, he noticed there was a strange vehicle prowling behind him. He turned his head just slightly enough to be sure that the car was actually following him and not just a random thing.Kael returned his face to the road, didn’t increase the pace of his walk nor act like he was paranoid. He simply veered into the next street.The car slowed down as soon as he was out of sight, eventually stopping.Meanwhile, Kael had doubled back through the alley between two buildings, and he suddenly appeared by the driver’s side of the car, then he gently knuckled the glass.The second the window began to slowl

When last did she cringe this badly at herself? Probably whenever she thought about the early months of her marriage to Felix when she’d thought she could win him over with her love. That embarrassing point in her life would always take the cake. But whatever happened four hours earlier might be a worthy contender for the position.Wren stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror while she brushed her teeth almost absentmindedly, and all she could think about was the replay of herself chasing that man with her heels.She cringed visibly and squeezed her eyes shut.“What’s wrong with me?” She asked herself.Could it be the hidden paranoia and frustration from the break-in that happened a week prior? They weren’t able to find the true culprit behind the attack, so suddenly seeing someone suspicious around the house again sent her into adrenaline mode, where she didn’t want that person to slip away again.Spitting violently into the sink, she turne

At the head of the table, Grace sat, flanked by her five-person social media team.One of them, Derek, was doing a presentation.“So, our Q4 flagship series is titled ‘Inside the Engine Room’. Where we will be filming a full day in the life of the executives,” he announced and Grace nodded thoughtfully.“Which executives are we featuring?” she asked.Amara jumped in. “We’re featuring just one executive. Mr Sterling.”Grace’s pen stopped dead mid-word and she tried to keep her face as neutral as possible.Amara continued, “The last director already got full approval for it some months ago so we’ve got the green light for everything. We’ll be doing most of his filming at his house.”A full day at William’s apartment?Grace cleared her throat. “I see. And had Mr Sterling personally approved this?” She kept her eyes fixed on her no
