When Hope Begins to Shatter

OliviaThere was nothing left inside me.Just... emptiness.A hollow ache sat deep inside my chest, so heavy that every breath felt like a punishment.I didn't even know how I had managed to leave Axel's office.I couldn't remember walking out.I couldn't remember taking the elevator.I couldn't remember driving home.Everything after his confession had become one long blur, like my mind had shut itself down to protect me from the unbearable truth.Before I knew it, I was standing outside my apartment building, staring blankly at the familiar entrance.I still found it so hard to believe that there were people in this world who could truly be so cruel.So heartless.So terrifying.How could someone deliberately destroy another person's life simply because they refused to let go of someone they considered their possession?How?My vision blurred again.I couldn't even bear the thought of returning to the hospital.How could I possibly show my face there, knowing deep down in my heart t

A Broken News

Olivia "I don't even know what to do anymore." I groaned in frustration and buried my face in my hands. "I feel like I'm going crazy."Ella immediately reached over and gently squeezed my shoulder."Calm down. We'll find a way. We have to... no matter what. There has to be something we can do."She suddenly became thoughtful. A moment later, her eyes lit up."What if we expose him? The media.""If the police won't do anything... then let's make it public. Let's expose Axel Reynolds to everyone. He can't possibly control everyone's opinion."For a brief second, I almost wanted to believe her, but reality came crashing down again.I let out a bitter scoff."Ella, you really underestimate what wealthy people can do with money. If we go to the media... how many people would actually believe us?"She opened her mouth, but no words came out."And even if they did... what proof do we have? W

The Calm Before the Fall

Carl"I've got everything under control, Elvis," I said confidently into the phone, popping another slice of apple into my mouth while keeping one eye on the football match playing on the television mounted on the hospital wall. "Nothing could ever go wrong."A long sigh drifted through the phone speaker."Carl," Elvis said wearily, "there's an old saying that the person who walks carelessly with a pot of oil shouldn't be surprised when it spills. Be careful. One wrong step is all it takes."I chuckled dismissively and waved a hand through the air."Not this time. I've thought everything through."Because I had.Jasmine was my daughter.She could put on all the cold expressions she wanted and act like she had finally grown a backbone, but deep down, she was still the little girl I'd raised.As long as I remained her father, she'd always have responsibilities toward me, and I intended to make sure she fulfilled every single one of them.Elvis sighed again."I just don't want you making

A Gift

Carl"Sooner than you expect."Something about the way she said it made the tiny hairs on the back of my neck stand up.I slowly turned my head toward her.A few loose strands of dark hair had slipped free from the bun at the back of her head, giving her an effortlessly attractive look. My eyes wandered over her without shame before I could stop myself.Her perfectly fitted nurse's uniform did her plenty of favors, hugging her generous curves in all the right places. Now this was the kind of nurse a man didn't mind being treated by. A grin tugged at my lips. She was gorgeous.Maybe this hospital stay wasn't so bad after all. If she was going to be the one taking care of me from now on, I certainly wouldn't mind extending my stay a little longer. The view alone was worth it."You know..." I said, flashing what I knew was my most irresistible smile. It had been more than enough to captivate Jenny, so I had no reason to think it wouldn't work on this nurse too."You're quite beautiful."

Shadows Behind The Tears

AxelI sat at the head of the table, listening as Mr. Silas stood before the digital presentation screen."Our market share across Asia has really exceeded projections," Mr. Silas said confidently as another graph appeared behind him. "I believe it's time we accelerate our expansion strategy into Europe and North America. Preliminary studies indicate strong investment opportunities, especially in the technology and healthcare sectors."A few board members nodded thoughtfully as he continued with his presentation.Just then, the conference room doors suddenly swung open, and Derek hurried inside.Ignoring the curious stares around the room, he walked straight toward me. His face was unusually grim.He leaned down and whispered just loudly enough for only me to hear."Sir... Carl Pierce is dead."Everything inside me froze.Dead?An uncomfortable silence spread across the conference room as every executive watched us, wondering what was going on.I instantly rose from my chair."Today's

A Mother's Broken Plea

OliviaI stood in front of the hospital building, watching as different people came and went through the glass doors.Some walked in with anxious expressions, their hands tightly clasped together as if silently praying for good news. Others stepped out with relieved, happy smiles, embracing their loved ones. There were also those whose faces were streaked with tears, their shoulders slumped beneath the weight of heartbreaking news.I simply stood there.My feet refused to move.The breeze brushed against my face, carrying the sharp scent of disinfectant that escaped every time the hospital doors opened. I stared at the building for what felt like forever, watching strangers continue with their lives while mine felt like it had long since stopped.I drew in a shaky breath.No… I wasn't going to cry anymore.Today, I didn't care if Liam's parents threw me out again. I didn't care if they yelled at me, humiliated me, or blamed me for everything that had happened.After all, I deserved it

An Underserved Love

Olivia Mrs. Jackson calmly looked at me again. There was no anger, hatred, or cold glare in her expression… just sadness.An overwhelming sadness that had hollowed her eyes.She slowly turned back toward Liam.Neither of us spoke.I hesitated before finally taking a careful step into the room, then another, and another, until I stood beside his bed.The sight before me shattered what little strength I had left.Liam lay perfectly still.His eyes remained closed peacefully, almost as if he were simply taking an afternoon nap.If not for the oxygen tube resting beneath his nose, the IV lines disappearing beneath the blankets, and the heart monitor beside him producing its steady, rhythmic beeps… I could have convinced myself he was merely sleeping.His complexion looked too pale, and his lips lacked their usual warmth.Seeing someone who had once smiled so brightly… who had always been

Where She Belongs

Axel"You know better than to call me during this period, Derek."The moment I answered the phone, I stepped to the balcony and quietly slid the glass door shut behind me."Especially when Jasmine is here," I continued coldly. "I told you I was taking the day off.""I'm sorry, Sir," Derek apologized immediately. "I just received urgent news, and I had to inform you."I pinched the bridge of my nose."Couldn't this 'urgent news' wait until tomorrow?"A brief silence stretched between us before he answered. "I'm afraid not, Sir.""What is it?""I just received word that Miss Olivia has been admitted to the hospital."I frowned. "The hospital? Is she sick? What happened?"Derek hesitated. "It's worse than that. She... she attempted to harm herself."Everything inside me froze. "What?""She's currently hospitalized."What the hell?! Olivia tried to take her own life?"Send me the address. I'm on my way."I ended the call just as I heard a soft voice behind me."Axel?"I turned around.Jas

The Choice She Made

AxelA few days later...I heard the sharp, furious voice coming from inside before I even got to the door."...How can you even say that, Olivia?!"I slowed my steps as I approached the hospital ward."...After everything he's done to you!"Another voice answered, much quieter."Ella, please..."Without wasting another second, I pushed the door open, and the room fell silent.Olivia sat propped up against the hospital bed, dressed in simple clothes instead of a hospital gown, her overnight bag resting beside the bed. Though the color had returned to her face over the past few days, she still looked fragile.Standing beside her was Ella.The moment Olivia saw me, she instinctively straightened, her eyes settling on mine.Ella turned. The instant our gazes met, anger flashed across her face. Her eyes blazed with undisguised fury, sharp enough to make it seem like she wanted to tear me apart with her bare hands.She planted both hands on her hips and laughed bitterly."You actually have

An Unspoken Agreement

AxelThe soft click of the lock echoed through the apartment as I pushed the door open.I stepped aside."Go on."Olivia walked in without hesitation."Thank you," she said quietly.She slipped off her shoes and headed straight for the kitchen, leaving me standing by the entrance for a brief moment.Closing the door behind us, I picked up the bag from the hospital and made my way toward her bedroom.I placed the bag beside the bed. Just then, footsteps sounded behind me, and I turned.Olivia walked into the bedroom carrying a bottle of red wine in one hand and two wine glasses in the other.She lifted the bottle slightly."A drink?""I..." I was just about to answer when my phone vibrated in my pocket.I pulled it out.Derek.I answered immediately."What is it?""Sir, everything is ready for the Sterling and Hawthorne Capital partnership. The legal department has finished reviewing it, and all the final revisions have been incorporated. The only thing left is your signature."My gaz
