Night soon came. For the past several days, Elena had made it a habit to return home late. It wasn’t because of work.At least, not entirely. The truth was much simpler, she was avoiding running into Damien. Ever since their explosive argument regarding George and the incident where she had witnessed Damien kissing another woman, things between them had become unbearably awkward.Every time she thought about it, anger and hurt resurfaced so she decided to stay away. She always left for work earlier and returned late and whenever they happened to be in the same house, she made sure they were never in the same room.Today, however, she came home earlier than usual.The mansion was unusually quiet. Relieved, Elena assumed Damien was still at work, which meant she could head straight to her room and avoid any awkward encounters.Unfortunately, fate had other plans. The moment she reached the grand staircase, another figure appeared from the opposite corridor. It was Damien, both of them s

By nine o’clock, at JH Industries. The company’s Public Relations Department had been working since morning, things were a lot different with the absence of Claire and also because it was a sudden development. They had to start preparations that morning.Rows of chairs were arranged in the main conference hall, microphones were tested repeatedly. Camera platforms were assembled.Large company banners bearing the JH Industries logo were mounted behind the stage where Edward would stand to address the media.Invitations had already been sent out to some of the country’s most prominent reporters, journalists, business correspondents, and television networks.The response had been overwhelming. A major corporate scandal, a public confession and an arrested culprit. It was enough to make every news organization want a seat in the room.Employees hurried through the building making final preparations.Security personnel were stationed at every entrance.By eleven o’clock, news vans had alre

The conference hall gradually got quiet, quiet enough that if a pin was dropped, the sound of it could be heard.One by one, the reporters and the journalists stopped whispering amongst themselves. Even the camera operators steadied their cameras, zooming in.Nobody wanted to miss what Celeste was about to reveal.The room became so quiet that the faint hum of the air conditioning could be heard.Celeste looked around the hall, hundreds of eyes were fixed on her. She had gotten the attention she had wanted, everyone was eager to hear what she had to say.For the first time since stepping onto the stage, she knew she had complete control of the room.She dabbed at her tears with her handkerchief. “I am glad that I have gotten your attention.” Her voice trembled. “And I sincerely hope this news does not get taken down by the people I am about to mention.”The reporters leaned forward, their pens hovered over their notebooks.Celeste swallowed. “The person responsible for what happened t

Edward had been rushed to the hospital because of the way he fell at the stage. His lawyer had left to have a meeting with the other laywers. Celeste sat beside the bed. George had already cleaned the make up that had made him look sick. He looked at his father lying on the bed. George looked pissed. “Dad, you can open your eyes, we are alone. The reporters are not here.”Celeste glared at him. “Will you stop what you are doing! Your dad is going through a lot.”“Mum, do you really believe that dad fainted? That man is calculative, I am sure he can hear us perfectly.”As though Edward heard what George had said. He opened his eyes.“You are finally awake. I was so worried when you fell” Edward sat up, Celeste helped by putting a pillow behind his back for him to sit up well. “Is that how you speak of your father?” Edward shot George a disdaining look.“Honey, you should take it easy”Edward ignored Celeste’s warnings, she had tried to stop the fight between her son and her husband but

Earlier, while Agent Hayes had left with the arrest team to apprehend Edward Sterling.Claire sat alone inside the Interrogation Room. She leaned back against the chair and let out a long, exhausted sigh.The events of the day replayed over and over in her mind. Only hours ago, she had believed her life was over. She had accepted that she would go to prison for crimes she had never committed.Yet everything had changed in the blink of an eye. She still couldn’t believe it.The press conference. Edward’s mask finally falling before the entire nation and him collapsing on the stage.For the first time in days, Claire felt as though she could breathe again.The door opened. Agent Hayes’ partner, Agent Spencer, stepped inside carrying a transparent evidence bag.Inside was her cellphone.“As instructed by Agent Hayes,” Spencer said, placing the bag on the table. “You may make one phone call.”Claire managed a grateful smile. “Thank you.”Spencer opened the evidence bag and handed her the
