A romantic fool

THEA’s POV The boardroom was like a courtroom. George and Beatrice were already there, sitting on one side of the table. Beatrice looked triumphant. She had a smug smile on her face, and she was wearing a bright red suit, like she was celebrating a victory. Serena was sitting in a chair behind them, looking down at her hands, pretending to be innocent. Elias and I sat on the other side. George stood up, his voice booming. "Let’s begin," George said. "We are here to vote on the motion to freeze Elias Vane’s executive power and investigate the validity of his marriage to Thea Sterling. Given the criminal activity of the Sterling family, this board must decide if this union still serves the interests of the Vane Group." Beatrice leaned forward, her eyes locked on mine. "It’s over, Thea," she whispered, loud enough for the room to hear. "Go back to the hole you crawled out of." "The floor is open for the vote," George said. "All those in favor of voiding the contract and removin

The Cabin PT 1

Maya’s POVThe air in the living room felt heavy, like the sky right before a storm breaks. My mother, Sherry, was pacing back and forth, her expensive silk robe fluttering behind her, her eyes darting toward the door every few seconds. I sat on the edge of the sofa, my phone gripped so tight my knuckles were white. I had just gotten off the call with Serena, and the news was like a bucket of ice water over my head. "Mother, do you hear me?" I snapped, my voice cutting through my mother’s frantic movements. "Serena said the board meeting was a total disaster. Beatrice and George couldn’t even touch them. Elias stood up in front of everyone and chose that mouse. He chose Thea over his own parents. They are stronger now than they have ever been." Sherry paused, clutching her necklace. "How is that possible? Beatrice Vane never loses. She is the most powerful woman I know." "Well, she lost this time," I hissed, standing up and pacing beside her. "Thea did something. She’s changed. S

Encounter

Elias’s POV The morning air was crisp as I watched Thea walk toward the airport terminal. She looked small carrying her weekend bag, but there was a strength in her posture that I hadn't seen months ago. I waited until she disappeared into the crowd before I got back into the car. "To the office, sir?" my driver asked. "Not yet," I said, staring out the window. "Drop me by my parents' house first." I knew I had to do this. Yesterday’s issue in the boardroom had left a rift in my family that felt like a canyon. I didn't want to live in a world where I had to look over my shoulder at my own mother and father. When I arrived, the mansion felt cold. In the living room, my mother, Beatrice, was sitting on a velvet sofa, sipping tea. Serena was sitting right next to her, looking pale and miserable. My father, George, was standing by the fireplace, looking at the floor. "Elias," my father said, looking up. "I didn't expect to see you here so soon." "I came to talk," I said, standing

jagged pieces

Thea’s POVThe woods were a maze of gray fog and twisted branches. Scott held my arm firmly, pulling me through a narrow path hidden by thick thorns. Behind us, I could still hear the shrill voice of Clara complaining about the mud and Maya’s sharp commands. They were close, but Scott knew a way that didn't follow the main trail."How do you know this path?" I whispered, my heart hammering against my ribs.Scott didn't look back. "I’ve been watching Arthur Sterling for a long time, Thea. Longer than you realize." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a heavy, rusted iron key. "I stole this from your father’s office months ago. He thinks he lost it."I stared at the key. "Why would you steal the key to a cabin in the middle of nowhere?"Scott stopped for a second, his eyes dark and serious. "Because I’m not a fool. I’ve suspected for a while now that Arthur has been working with my wife to drain my company’s accounts. They think I’m just a quiet businessman they can use, but I’ve

price of a lie

Thea’s POVThe cabin was like a nightmare. The dust in the air tasted like old secrets, and my heart was beating so hard against my ribs that it felt like it might break through. I was on the floor, holding the letters that changed everything. My hands were shaking. In my past life, Sherry and Arthur had planned to destroy my mind. They had written it down like a grocery list. They wanted to poison me, drive me crazy, and steal my inheritance. Scott’s hand was on my shoulder. His face was close to mine. He was saying something about how he had always wanted me, but I could barely hear him over the roaring in my ears. Then, the world exploded.The front door slammed against the wall with a sound like a gunshot. I jumped, dropping the letters onto the dusty floorboards. I looked up and saw a shadow in the doorway. It was Elias. But it wasn't the Elias I knew. His eyes were dark, his face was pale, and he looked like a man who had just seen his world fall apart.He saw us. He saw Sco

Under the bitter rain

The sky above the woods had turned a bruised shade of purple, and the rain fell in heavy, rhythmic sheets that turned the forest floor into a swamp of thick mud. The cold was biting, but the heat of the arguments happening around the clearing was enough to burn through the damp air.Near a cluster of jagged rocks, Scott and Clara were locked in a battle that had been years in the making. Clara’s expensive leather boots were ruined, caked in brown sludge, and her hair hung in wet, tangled clumps around her face. She was hysterical, her hands gripping Scott’s jacket as she tried to pull him toward their car."You are coming with me right now, Scott!" Clara screamed, her voice cracking under the weight of her tears. "I cannot believe you! After everything I did for you! After my father gave you a seat at our table and I gave you all the support for years!". Scott didn't move. He stood like an iron pillar, his face set in a mask of pure disgust. He looked down at her hands on his coat

shattered views

Elias sat in his car, the engine idling. He was soaked, but he didn't feel the cold. He felt numb. His hands gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles were white. He picked up his phone and dialed the only person he could trust.Liam answered on the second ring. "Elias? Did you find her? Is she okay?""I found her," Elias said. His voice sounded like it was coming from the bottom of a grave."What's wrong? You sound terrible," Liam said, his tone shifting to concern."She was there, Liam. In the cabin. With Scott," Elias whispered."What? Scott Beckett? What was he doing there?""He was kissing her, Liam. And she... she didn't stop him. She looked me in the eye and told me she never loved me. She said she’s been seeing him for a long time. She said I was just a way to escape her family."There was a long silence on the other end of the line. Then, Liam spoke, his voice firm and logical. "Elias, stop. Take a breath. Think for one second. Does that sound like Thea? Does that sound

Hate me

Elias’s POV I stiffened at the closeness. "Thea?""I need you to hate me," she breathed. "I need you to act like I broke your heart. Just for a little while longer. It’s the only way to keep us safe. Please, Elias. Trust me one last time."She pulled back quickly, her face turning cold again. "Now leave! I don't want to see you anymore!"I stood frozen. I looked at her, my mind spinning. I saw the flash of desperation in her eyes before she masked it with anger. I saw the way she was clutching her bag.Liam was right. It was a play."Fine," I said loudly, my voice full of fake bitterness. "If that’s how you want it, Thea. Don't expect me to come crawling back."I turned around and got into my car. I started the engine and drove away, leaving her standing in the mud.As I drove, my heart was a mess. I was confused, hurt, and angry. But there was a tiny flicker of hope in my chest. It was a painful hope, like a needle in my heart, but it was there.I didn't know what she was planning.

Legal Ways

Thea’s POVThe city was bright even at two o'clock in the morning. I sat in the back of a taxi with my bag pulled tight against my stomach. Inside that bag were the papers that could destroy my parents. I did not go to the mansion. I did not go to Elias. I told the driver to go to a dark street in the business district. I got out of the car and walked to a tall building. It was made of black glass. I went to the top floor. A man was waiting for me in a large office. His name was Mr. Specter. He was a lawyer who did not work for the Sterling family. He was the best fraud lawyer in the country. He was expensive, but I had paid him using a bank account my mother did not know about.Mr. Specter stood up when I walked in. He did not look tired. He looked at my wet hair and my muddy boots."You look like you have been in a fight," Mr. Specter said. "I was in the woods, ignore my look," I said. I sat down in a leather chair. I opened my bag and put the letters and the ledger on his desk.

Fool’s Paradise

The sun rose over the city, but the sky was still a pale, cold gray. Inside the Sterling mansion, the atmosphere was completely different. Maya and Sherry were sitting in the morning room, drinking expensive coffee and looking at their phones. They were smiling. For the first time in months, they felt like they had total control."It is spreading even faster than I thought," Maya said. she tapped her finger on her phone screen. "Two gossip blogs have already posted about the Vane Marriage Crisis. They don't have the names yet, but everyone knows who they are talking about. A mysterious woman in a silver car at a remote cabin... people are connecting the dots."Sherry leaned back in her chair. She looked refreshed. "I made a few calls this morning to my friends at the social clubs. I told them I was worried about Thea. I told them she has been acting very strange and spending a lot of time with Scott behind Clara’s back. By lunchtime, every woman in this city will be talking about how
