Small victory

101. Soraya🍒 The news about the new Boss taking over was going around the office the moment I set foot in it the next morning. There were whispers amongst the employees about how things would run under my leadership, which I expected, given their previous employer's iron-fisted approach. I can understand their fears of change. Sitting down behind the desk, I let my fingers brush the polished wood with a smile on my face, the kind that lights up the eyes. It feels good to have such a victory; it was a long time coming, and it's as sweet as I expected. Sigh, I started cleaning up the office, getting rid of the half-empty coffee mug, the scattered papers, making sure it represented me, and removing any signs of Jasper ever being there. With everything being in place, I rolled up my sleeves. I walked through the main floor with a purpose; my assistant, Ella, was right behind me, taking notes, and the employees glanced up as I passed. I could see the uncertainty in their eyes, the loy

It's all about her

102. Thane🎼 The fog hasn’t lifted since the jail visit. If anything, it’s thicker now, pressing in, suffocating. I sit alone in the dark office, fingers wrapped around a glass I’ve refilled more times than I care to count, trying to figure out how the hell I’m supposed to explain everything to Soraya. We promised each other no more secrets. No half-truths. No protecting the other by lying. And yet here I am failing her already. How do I tell my wife that my family has been skimming her for years? Long before I ever laid eyes on her. Before love. Before vows. Before she trusted me enough to put her heart in my hands. Will she be able to take it? I sigh and push to my feet, moving toward the window with the glass still in my hand. The city below is alive, people laughing, arguing, living completely unaware that my world feels like it’s balancing on a blade’s edge. I’m fighting to keep my wife from getting hurt, all while trying to track down the mystery person behind the gloves.

They light up the fire

103. Soraya 🍒 I finally sank into the chair behind my desk, exhaustion settling deep into my bones. I’d been running nonstop all morning, meetings stacked on top of negotiations, contracts signed until my hand ached. The moment I sat down, I felt the weight lift slightly, stress slowly bleeding out of my body. I tapped the pencil against my cheek, my thoughts drifting uninvited back to the night before. The club, the heat between us. The way my body was still trembling from the intense orgasm. Thane and I had been lost in each other, the world reduced to nothing but breath and whispered promises, when everything shattered in an instant. We froze at the sound of the door behind us. We both turned our heads at the same time to see who dared to open a closed door. Only to find Thane’s father standing in the doorway, blocking anyone from coming in. His father stood there, arms crossed, jaw tight, eyes burning with anger. But that was nothing new. The man had been angry more ofte

Crush them

104. Thane🎼 “ Absolutely, not!” I snarl while I walk into the boardroom that morning, and I find the bald man trying to intimidate my wife into getting Daniel Bidner out of jail. Luckily, Theo Sage and Scott Reed were with me when I got the news that Joy and Dahlia Daniel’s wife were teaming up to bully Soraya into dropping the charges against Daniel. Their way of doing that was by sending a man into the office under the pretence of doing business with them. The man right here is nothing but a pawn. “ Absolutely, not!” I repeated. When I was standing next to Soraya, my presence was enough for her to know I had her back, but I need to make one thing clear to this man: “Daniel Bodner is exactly where he belongs.” Turning his eyes on me, the bald man said, “What right do you have to decide on that?” I scoff, right? “ He broke into our house, broke into her car, and tried to frame people around her for his benefit, etc.” I let my words set in “ I could keep going if you need m

Step down

105. Soraya🍒 I didn't touch Joy directly; I didn't have to. The footprints that she left behind were all I needed to make my case. The pictures were a bonus. She used her body to open the door for herself, so I closed it by showing the truth. She used the Kline name to get into high society, so I closed that door too. The truth can be a lot of things unless you know how to use it. As for the Adam boy, he dropped her like a sack of potatoes when he heard about her aborting his child, or that she wasn't the only one in his heart. The best part came when I changed the shell companies into her name and made sure someone went over there to investigate. From that point on, her world started to crumble. For the past three weeks, Joy called more often than I can count. Still, I didn't answer one call; we both know she was only calling because her ass was in hot water with Jasper, not shielding her anymore, she had nowhere to turn to, word on the street is she's been kicked out of the

Is this mystery

106. Thane🎼 The next morning, I sat behind my desk, the hidden folder lying in front of me like a silent accusation. It stared back at me, taunting, relentlessly. Inside it were pieces, but no answers. A blurred image. Masked hands. A faceless threat. And somewhere behind it all, the person who had sent the warning text after the flash drive surfaced, reminding me just how closely I was being watched. I drew in a slow breath and closed my eyes. A dull ache pulsed at the back of my head, the kind that warned of an oncoming headache. When I opened them again, my gaze drifted to the couch across the room, and with it came memories I hadn’t invited. Jasper. I sat behind the desk and said, “Speak,” since he wanted to talk. Jasper let out a bitter laugh. “ You!” he snapped immediately. “ I want answers from you,” his voice filled with anger. Calmly, I ask, “Answers, about what?” “About everything, Soraya and the company,” he says. Leaning back in my seat, “What does that have

In his head

107. Jasper I was furious after having my talk with my uncle. I wasn't much better; in fact, my anger increased when he basically told me that I was a placeholder, me? A placeholder! Never in my life did I think something like this could happen. Soraya had bought my company right under my blindside, completely, and somehow, she was thriving while my life continued to collapse. She was moving forward, winning, while everything I touched turned to ash. Months ago, I had tried to end it all in one calculated moment. Thomas’s car accident was supposed to solve everything; it was supposed to bring a new beginning, but it didn’t. It failed like every other plan I made. Now my mother is in jail because of her, Soraya. The company was the only thing I had, but now it was taken from me; I got nothing. I'm alone and exposed, with nowhere to turn. And as if that wasn’t enough, the final truth had surfaced: Joy, my wife. My wife hadn’t just betrayed me with one man but three. Every lu

Power

108. Soraya🍒 The news about me took over and rolled out without me making any announcement to the clients. I let my work speak for itself. I bring big clients that Jasper couldn't, and I collect overdue money, even the ones that were enjoying a free ride, left before I could even make my way towards them. Good, I didn't have to waste my time with them. As for Joy and Jasper, they've become irrelevant, non-existent. My success was not unnoticed; I got a call for a board meeting. However, others were happy for me to be here, there are still the ones that don't appreciate the changes how I make sure the meetings don't run long, decision didn't need second-guessing, and contracts landed on our laps like water, I moved some departments around, give promotion to those who deserve it and the ones that didn't belong are out. In my eyes, the company was flourishing, while others think I was cold through it all. One person stayed consistent and in the shadows, giving me support when I

Uncover the truth

109. Thane🎼 By the time I made it home that night my body was screaming at me, my bones were aching from the day's tiredness, and the house was quiet and warm when I stepped inside, there was a soft music coming from the kitchen it was low, I follow the sound into the kitchen where the scents of garlic and rosemary hit my nose, I stood in the doorway I watch her stood at the stove, barefoot, she was focused on what she was doing as her slick dress catch the kitchen lights when she moved around. She never heard me coming in, and that gave me a few extra seconds to watch the woman I almost lost to my scumbag nephew. Good thing he had messed up. I got my chance. Watching her command the room will stir something in my heart; if it's love, I welcome it, but I doubt it is. Without disturbing her I slip off my jacket and head upstairs to the bathroom for a warm shower, the bathroom was already filled with steam, and I stepped into the shower letting the water pound down my back with g

My Precious time

110. Soraya🍒 After the fantastic night I’d had with my dear husband, I deserved a nice glass of wine at ten in the morning to keep the happiness going. I was already thinking about the spa day I’d scheduled with Sky and Ella. For now, that cold liquid would help me catch up on the blog I’d been neglecting and maybe finish at least one of the designs I’d abandoned days ago, or what felt like weeks. I was settled in my little room, pencil in hand, laptop open, wine beside me. My messy bun sat atop my head. I was ready for work when my work phone chimed with an alert, and I made the mistake of checking it. “ Ugh,” I took a sip of my wine as I was trying to process what I just read. What made this even funnier was that it was in the company that I own since I was eighteen. I keep a low profile because that's how I like it, but someone is looking for trouble on my day off. Hell no! I quickly got on my feet, went to my closet, threw on my black suit dress and red pumps, and fixed
