Intrusion

ELIAS’s POVThe tension inside the office was already thick. Liam was still leaning back in his chair, his eyes full of worry as we discussed Darius Manchester and the dangerous game that was unfolding around my wife. I opened my mouth to speak, but the words never left my throat.BANG!The heavy, soundproof double doors of my office did not just open, they flew backward until they hit the plaster walls with a deafening crash. The glass panels in the door frame vibrated violently from the force.Liam jumped out of his seat instantly, his posture turning rigid. I stood up from my leather chair slowly, my face tightening as a tall, imposing figure stepped over the threshold.It was my father.He was dressed in a pristine, dark charcoal suit, and his silver hair was combed back perfectly. In his right hand, he held a heavy, black wooden cane and his eyes were burning with a dark, vicious rage. He did not look at Liam. His gaze locked onto me behind the desk, and the anger radiating fr

The takeover

THEA’s POV The glass doors of The Daily Herald building were high and clear. The morning sun hit the metal frame, making it look bright and cold. I walked through the lobby, my heels making a steady, sharp sound on the gray marble floor. Behind me, three senior lawyers from the Vane corporate legal team followed in perfect alignment. They carried thick black leather folders containing the final purchase documents and the bank transfer slips. The lobby was busy. Young reporters hurried past with digital tablets, and older editors stood near the elevators, talking in low, serious voices. But as I walked toward the executive elevators, the crowd slowly became quiet. People stopped talking. A young receptionist with short brown hair and a blue blazer stood up from her desk, her eyes widening as she recognized my face from the recent front-page news. Her lips parted slightly, and she clutched a stack of papers tightly against her chest. Everyone in the city knew who I was now. T

change the game

THEA’s POV I let the silence stretch between us for a few seconds. I watched the tight muscles in her jaw and the way her fingers clutched the edge of her notebook. She was a woman of pure principle. She couldn't be bribed, and she couldn't be scared away by threats. If I tried to force her to stop, she would just fight harder from the outside, and she would eventually find the proof that would destroy the Vane empire before I was ready to use it.I needed to change the game. I needed to make her believe that I was on her side, but for a completely different reason. "You are very passionate, Emily," I said softly, using her first name on purpose to lower the hostility in the room. "And you are entirely wrong about my intentions."Emily tilted her head, her expression remaining hard and untrusting. "Am I? Then tell me why the wife of Elias Vane is offering a massive contract to the one reporter who wants to see the Vane family ruined." "Because I am a wife who wants to protect her

Unexpected guest PT 1

THEA’s POV The sun was high over the city center when I stepped out of The Daily Herald building. The street was loud with the sound of midday traffic, honking horns, and the chatter of office workers heading out for their lunch breaks. I checked my wristwatch. It was exactly 12:45 PM. I pulled my light beige coat tightly around my shoulders and began walking toward the curb. My driver was already waiting with the black Mercedes, ready to take me to the Vane International tower. Elias had been text messaging me all morning, asking how my first day at the news network was going. I could sense his lingering anxiety through the short text messages. But as my hand reached for the car door handle, a sleek, silver sports car smoothly pulled up right in front of my vehicle, blocking the lane. The driver’s side door swung open, and Darius stepped out onto the concrete. He wore a perfectly tailored dark blue suit with an open-collar white shirt. His black hair was styled neatly, and

Unexpected guest PT 2

On the other side of the city, Maya Sterling sat behind a thick pane of scratched glass. She was wearing a rough, oversized gray prison uniform that made her look small and thin. Her hair was messy, and there were dark, heavy bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. Her fingers trembled violently as she gripped the black plastic telephone receiver against her ear. On the other side of the glass sat Serena. She was dressed in a beautiful cream-colored trench coat, large dark sunglasses, and a silk scarf that hid most of her face. She looked completely out of place in the dirty, noisy visiting room. "Serena!" Maya cried into the phone, her voice frantic and high-pitched. Her face pressed close to the glass, leaving a smudge of oil from her forehead. "Thank God you came! You have to help me. The lawyers my dad hired are useless. They are saying that the evidence against us is too strong. You have to get me out of this horrible place!" Serena slowly pulled off her sunglasses, revealin

keep digging

THEA’s POV I walked through the lobby of Elias’s workplace with a calm face, but my mind was working fast. When the elevator doors opened, Elias’s head secretary, a woman named Sarah, stood up immediately. She looked nervous. Her hands were gripping a tablet so hard her knuckles were white."Mrs. Vane," she whispered, her voice shaking just a little. "Mr. Vane is... he is in his office. He said to send you in the moment you arrived.""Thank you, Sarah," I said. I gave her a small, polite smile. "Is he having a busy day?"Sarah swallowed hard and looked toward the heavy double doors. "He hasn't left his desk since the morning. He seems very focused, ma'am."Focused was a nice word for it. I knew Elias. When he was focused, it usually meant he was waiting for a problem to solve. I walked to the doors and pushed them open.The office was very quiet. The large curtains were half-closed, blocking out the bright afternoon sun. Elias was sitting behind his desk. He wasn't writing or lookin

calm in the house

THEA’s POV I stepped out of the car and walked into the grand foyer. Usually, the house felt cold and empty, since Elias doesn’t come home early. But tonight, as I hung my beige coat on the rack, I smelled something different. The air didn't smell like furniture polish and bleach. It smelled of rich tomato sauce, fresh herbs, and toasted bread. I walked toward the kitchen, my heels clicking softly on the marble floor. When I pushed the swinging wooden doors open, I stopped in surprise. The grand kitchen was bright. The heavy copper pots were hanging neatly from the ceiling, and a large pan was simmering on the stove. Standing in front of the marble island was Elias. He had taken off his expensive business suit. He was wearing a simple pair of dark trousers and a plain gray cotton shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had a white linen apron tied around his waist, and he was carefully chopping fresh basil leaves with a silver knife. "Elias?" I asked, tilting my head

scheme and cry

The study inside the main Vane family estate was large, dark, and smelled heavily of old leather and expensive tobacco. George Vane stood by the roaring fireplace, his face twisted in a deep, ugly frown. He held a glass of dark scotch in his hand, but he wasn't drinking it. His knuckles were white from how tightly he was gripping the crystal glass. Sitting on the red velvet sofa across from him was his wife, Beatrice. She was dressed in a pristine gray silk dress, her diamond necklace catching the light of the fire. "Serena left for Paris yesterday," George said, his voice dropping into a low, angry growl. He tossed the scotch back into his throat. "Her father called me from the airport. He said Serena was too stressed because of that newspaper scandal. She is completely out of our reach now. We cannot tie Elias to their family anymore." Beatrice let out a soft, elegant sigh, her long fingers stroking her silk skirt. "What a disappointment Elias has turned out to be. He is complet

performance of a lifetime

MAYA’s POV The leather straps were cold against my skin. They had tied my arms and my legs down to a narrow metal frame, pinning me flat on my back so I couldn't move an inch. I stared up at the ceiling. The lights in this place never went out. They were long, white tubes that hummed with a low, annoying sound that vibrated straight through my skull.My throat felt like sandpaper. Every time I tried to swallow, it burned. But I couldn't let myself stop. I had to look at the corner of the room where the small glass camera was watching me.“Remember what Serena said,” I thought to myself, keeping my lips completely still. “If they think you are sane, they will send you back to the central jail. If you go back there, you lose. Thea wins.”The thought of Thea’s face made my stomach turn over with a sick, oily heat. Just a year ago, I was the one living in a mansion. I had a closet full of designer shoes, credit cards with no limits, and a family name that made people bow. Thea was noth

appeal or not?

ELIAS’s POV I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in my office, watching the city below. I hadn’t slept more than four hours.I heard the door click open behind me. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was her. The scent of her perfume, something light and floral filled the room."Elias?" Thea’s voice was quiet, hesitant.I turned around and saw her standing there in a simple but elegant white dress. She looked so small, so fragile. I felt a sudden, fierce need to pull her into my arms and hide her from the rest of the world. I had spent three years ignoring her, and now I felt like I was drowning in the need to make it up to her."The hearing is about to start," I said, my voice sounding rough to my own ears. "The medical board is reviewing Maya’s file right now."Thea walked closer, her eyes searching mine. "Do you think they will believe her? What if the judge grants the appeal and delays the trial?"I stepped forward and took her hands in mine. Her fingers were cold. I squeez
