JUN'S POV“Welcome back to work.”I beamed a smile at my co-workers and table sharer, Sheryl.“Thank you”I arranged my desk quickly, tucking my hair behind my back.“Juniper, the deputy manager is calling for you” Someone informed me.I nodded and without another thought, stood up.The chatter around me lowered slightly as I pushed my chair back.Curious glances followed me as I walked past the familiar rows of desks, heels clicking softly against the tiled floor.Why would the deputy manager be looking for me?My fingers tightened around the strap of my bag as I stopped in front of her office.The frosted glass bore her name in neat black lettering, and for a brief second, unease curled in my stomach.I knocked.“Come in.”I stepped inside, closing the door behind me.The room smelled faintly of coffee and new paper.Deputy Manager Floryn sat behind her desk, brown glasses perched low on her nose as she skimmed through a file.“Have a seat, Juniper,” she said without looking up.I o

JUN'S POV“Please be okay Jun”My eyes flipped open, wincing at the overbearing whiteness that flooded it.The soft beeping sound of the ECG and the soft murmurs of my friend gave me a clue of where I was.“Ivy” I croaked out, my voice sounding hoarser than I expected.“Oh my goddess, you are awake juniper” she squealed, hurriedly calling for the doctor.A few minutes later, a man in white coat walked in, following behind him was a nurse.“Do you feel dizzy?” He asked, checking my heart beat.I tried to speak but my voice seized so I shook my head instead.“Good, your injuries are not that alarming,” he said with a soft smile “thankfully your friend brought you here on time, it would have gotten infected”.Ivy who was nearby heaved a sigh of relief.When the doctor was done, he assured Ivy that I was fine and could be discharged today.Once he went out with the nurse, Ivy hugged me tightly.“Can't… breathe” I wheezed.She coughed awkwardly and separated, rubbing her nose.“I'm sorry,

JUN'S POV “Oh my God!, you need to see her face”Ivy laughed hysterically, flinging her hair.I shook my head, a smile tugging on my lips as I stared at my friend who was still vividly going through what had happened this night, like I wasn't there when it happened.“I swear” she said breathlessly “she probably feels like crawling into a hole and dying” she added, and I nodded.Seraphina had a strong esteem and acted like the world revolved around her, this was probably a huge blow to her.“You know…” Ivy leaned closer, looking vigilantly around the deserted hallway as she lowered her voice “why don't I add this to her food, her guards are down now”My eyes widened when I saw the suspicious packet of medicine.“What the hell is that?”She smiled mischievously, twirling a strand of her hair around a finger as she shook the packet.“Laxative, one dose and she stays in the toilet for three days straight”“What?” I hissed. “Ivy!”“What's the problem?” She asked, rolling her eyes. “People

JUN'S POV“Why?!”I don't know when but the words left my lips before I could stop them.Deputy manager Floryn looked up, a grimace on her face.“You can tender a resignation if you wish” she spat out, her words cooling down my boiling blood immediately.I took a deep breath, willing myself to calm down.No! I can't lose this job… If I do.. then I would have to starve for days till I get a new job.“Fine, I will resume duties tomorrow, just as scheduled before” I breathedImmediately, a pleased smile blossomed on her face.“Glad that you still have your senses intact”Without exchanging any more words with her, I rushed out of the office, heart pounding.What sort of quagmire had I fallen into?.…..The next morning, I walked into the office feeling like I was stepping into a bloody battlefield.The ID machine card beeped softly as I swiped my ID card, the familiar sound doing nothing to calm the knot twisting violently in my stomach.I didn’t even bother going to my desk first.I tur

RONAN'S POV“What do you feel for her?”I pondered that question over and over again.What should I feel?“Seraphina really did this to you?” I still tried to wrap this around my head.My own beloved innocent sister was actually a two faced person.Juniper sneered at me. “Do you think the CCTV record was fabricated?” She asked.I shook my head immediately. “Juniper, I didn't mean that… I am just…”Overwhelmed.My fists clenched tightly, eyes freezing cold.Remembering how I had doubted Juniper the other day at the pack, my heart turned cold.“That day at the pack?...” I trailed off, I couldn't bring myself to look into those eyes.Those orbs that made me guilty and thirsty at the same time.She smiled ironically. “ I said I didn't push her, she hit me and scratched me… but I am sure you don't believe me.”I walked towards her, trying to hold her but she dodged my outstretched fingers.“No need to touch me Ronan, you can say whatever you want to say from a distance.”I took a deep brea
