Cracks Beneath Control

Gabriella stacked a few folders neatly and held them to her chest.Reaching Alexander’s office, she knocked softly and stepped inside.Alexander stood near the windows overlooking the city, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other held his phone loosely.His gaze lifted when she entered.“The files you wanted,” Gabriella said and walked further into the office, placing them carefully on the desk.“Thank you,” Alexander said.“You’re welcome,” she mumbled.He moved to his desk.“Mr Patrick is on his way,” he said as he lowered himself into his chair. “He wants to finalize everything here.”Gabriella nodded. “Alright. That's good then.”She turned instinctively toward the door, assuming that was all he needed.“Stay.”The word stopped her.Gabriella looked back slowly.“You helped me get the deal after all.” He gestured to the seat across from him. “You should be here.”Gabriella hesitated briefly before finally settling into the seat.Silence settled between them after she sat d

Softer Silence

The crowd outside Kingston Enterprises continued shouting as tension spread through the entrance of the building.“Frauds!”“You ruined businesses!”“Kingston Enterprises should be shut down!”Gabriella’s chest tightened at the anger pouring from every direction.Alexander stood beside her in complete silence, the envelope still in his hand. The sharp edges of the paper crinkled slightly beneath his grip.Mr Patrick adjusted his suit jacket stiffly before turning toward Alexander.“I trust this situation won’t interfere with our business,” he said carefully.Alexander’s expression remained unreadable.“It won’t.”Mr Patrick held his gaze for a moment longer, as if trying to decide whether he believed him.“I would prefer not to be dragged into public controversy,” he added finally.Gabriella saw something dangerous flicker briefly through his eyes.“You won’t be.” Alexander’s voice remained calm.Mr Patrick nodded once before stepping toward his waiting vehicle.The protesters grew lo

Suppressed Thoughts

The events of the day seemed to follow them all the way back to the house.The protest.The lawsuit.The uncertainty hanging over Kingston Enterprises.By the time they stepped inside, Gabriella felt exhausted.She slipped off her heels near the entrance and immediately sighed in relief.Alexander loosened his tie as he walked toward the living room.For a few moments, neither of them spoke.Gabriella headed toward the kitchen.“I’ll make tea.”He gave a distracted nod.A few minutes later, she returned with two mugs.She found him standing near one of the large windows, staring into the darkness.His shoulders looked tense.As though his mind was still trapped inside the conference room.Gabriella handed him a mug.“Thank you.”She settled onto the sofa, but Alexander remained standing.For several moments, he simply stared outside.“The protest shouldn’t have happened.”Gabriella looked up.“What do you mean?”Alexander finally turned to her.“The fingerprint lock failures happened

Strange Connections

The atmosphere at Kingston Enterprises had not settled.If anything, it felt worse.Gabriella noticed it the moment they arrived at the office that morning. Employees stayed a little too focused on their screens, and even the usual hum of activity felt controlled, restrained.Something had shifted after the protest.Miranda was near the common area when she found her.She was standing with a folder in hand, composed as always, posture perfect in a way that made everything around her look slightly less organized by comparison. She didn’t seem rushed, even though the entire building clearly was.“Hey,” Gabriella said, stepping closer.Miranda glanced up.“Hi, how are you?”She gave a faint breath. “The same as everyone else here.”Miranda’s eyes moved around. A pause settled between them.“Everyone is so somber,” she said.Gabriella’s gaze drifted down the corridor, where two employees stopped talking the moment a supervisor walked past.Then quietly, almost without meaning to, “Alexan

Held In Place

Gabriella didn’t move from where she stood.The office still felt heavy with what Alexander had just said.He turned slightly away from the window, finally speaking again.“Remember the woman from the protest?”Gabriella looked up.“I had her looked into.”His voice was controlled, as always, but there was something sharper underneath it now.“She wasn’t a victim of anything. No robbery. No incident report. Nothing tied to the crisis at all.”Gabriella frowned slightly.“But she seemed pretty passionate about the cause.”“Not just that,” Alexander said. “She also owns the account that posted the video.”That made Gabriella go still.“The one attacking Kingston Enterprises?”“Yes.”A pause settled between them.Alexander walked back toward his desk, picking up a folder but not opening it.“And the account wasn’t random,” he continued. “It was created around the same time the crisis began escalating.”Gabriella absorbed that slowly.“So we can assume it was created just to drag the comp

Call Me

The wedding was fast approaching.Somehow, between company scandals, emergency meetings, and everything else that had happened, time had continued moving forward.Now it was only days away.The realization felt strange.Gabriella stood near the center of the reception hall, studying the nearly completed venue as afternoon sunlight filtered through the tall windows.Fresh floral arrangements lined the walls.Elegant table settings had already been arranged for inspection.Workers moved around quietly, making adjustments while the wedding planner enthusiastically reviewed her notes.“I think we’re finally getting somewhere,” the woman said with a relieved smile.Gabriella laughed softly.“You sound like you’ve survived a war.”The planner placed a hand dramatically against her chest.“You have no idea.”That earned another laugh from Gabriella.Throughout the day, they finalized the remaining details.Flower placements.Guest seating.Menu selections.Small things that somehow felt enor

Not Alone

The house was silent.Most of the lights had already been turned off hours ago, leaving only the soft glow from the dining area illuminating the darkness downstairs.Alexander sat alone at the long dining table, his laptop open in front of him, while several folders lay scattered nearby.It was almost two in the morning.And he was still working.His phone rested against his ear as he stared at the files spread across the table.“I’m outside her house right now,” the man on the other end said.“Anything unusual?” Alexander asked quietly.“No, Sir.”He leaned forward.“Keep tailing her,” he said. “And let me know if you notice anything even slightly off.”“Understood.”The line disconnected.Alexander stared at a photo of the woman from the protest on his phone.Kristyn Pratt.Her account continued posting attacks against Kingston Enterprises online.Enough to keep public attention focused on the company.Enough to slowly damage credibility.Something was up with this woman. He could f

Dangerous Little Things

By the next morning, the events of the previous night still lingered quietly in Gabriella’s mind.The warmth of Alexander’s hand against her waist.The look in his eyes when he caught her.The strange silence afterward.She had spent far too long replaying it before finally falling asleep.And now, standing in front of her mirror while fastening her earrings, she found herself thinking about it again.Annoyingly.Gabriella exhaled softly and grabbed her bag from the bed.She needed to stop overthinking everything.When she stepped downstairs a few minutes later, Alexander was already near the entrance speaking on the phone.He wore a charcoal suit today, the dark color making him look sharp. One hand rested inside his pocket while the other held his phone against his ear.Alexander glanced up the moment he noticed her approaching.For a brief second, his gaze paused on her.Then he ended the call.“The driver will take you to the office,” he said.Gabriella’s brow furrowed.“You’re no

Surprise Guset

Miranda sat across from Dennis in his home office. Her phone balanced in one hand as she scrolled through her contacts.Meanwhile, Dennis remained quiet as he carefully inspected several photographs spread across the desk.Miranda straightened in her seat and dialed a number.She was too focused on the call she was about to make.After a few moments, Gabriella finally answered.“Hello?”“Hey Gabby,” she replied.“What's up?”“So I was just wondering…” There was a hint of mischief in her voice.“About what?” Gabriella asked.“A bachelorette party.”There was a pause.“I don't think so.”Miranda switched the phone to her other ear.“Why not? “Every bride deserves a bachelorette party.”“I don't think I have enough friends for a party,” she replied softly.“That's not a problem, Gabby,” she said. “It can just be you, Khloe, and me. Just like before.”“But it's not necessary and…”“You’re getting married,” Miranda cut her off. “This is a big deal.”On the other end of the phone, Gabriella

By Candlelight

“Alexander!”Gabriella’s voice echoed through the darkened hallway as she rushed toward the source of the crash.Her heart hammered painfully against her ribs.The only light came from her cellphone, as she waved it around frantically.“Alexander!”No response.Fear tightened around her chest.She followed the direction of the sound until another flash of lightning revealed the scene before her.The ladder lay on its side.Alexander was sprawled on the floor beside it.For one terrible second, Gabriella couldn’t move.The world seemed to stop.Then she was running.“Alexander!”Dropping to her knees beside him, she carefully turned him onto his back.A small streak of blood ran down the side of his forehead.Gabriella’s breath caught.“No… no, no, no…”Her hands trembled.He wasn’t moving.Panic surged through her.She immediately dialed 911 on her phone.Nothing. The call didn’t go through.The storm was messing with the cell service as well.Her stomach dropped.She tried again.“Co
