I came home to see Daniel on my veranda“Shit”I exclaimed as I made my way to the front door.“Damn it mara couldn't you pick your call you got me scared.”He already started nagging.“I'm sorry.”“What did you do?”“I didn't make it to my destination”“You should come in, I'll tell you all about it.”I gestured as I was already standing by the door.“So nonchalant”He scoffed as he swayed his way through the door.“I'm listening”“Oh please could I atleast settle down”“Sure queen settle down”he teased.I rolled my eyes dropping my keys and bag on the glass table in the middle of my sitting room as I say gently.“I was driving to the penthouse but I never made it there,I was going to confront him”Daniel was the only one who saw through my hardened act.He knew what to say,when to say it and how to say it even when it's blunt and hard for me to take in.“This case is no longer a matter of emotions.”He beganI felt bitter not because the truth was cruel, but because it was honest in a

Richard just called.I sent the message to Daniel, my fingers barely leaving the screen before his reply came through.“What’s his deal?”He responded so swiftly, it was almost as though he had been waiting for me to reach out.I continued pacing slowly across the room, my arms crossed tightly over my chest.“He says it’s better off speaking face to face.”I frowned.“That’s fishy don't you think?,” I sent another text A few seconds later, Daniel replied.“Really fishy. At this point, I don’t trust the Crofts anymore.”Neither did I.Something about Richard suddenly wanting to speak face to face made my stomach twist uneasily.He hasn't really been a fan.I paced a little faster, my mind running through every possible explanation.Then, against my better judgment, I let my curiosity get the best of me.“You should go hear what he has to say.”Daniel replied.I stared at the message,a strange feeling settling in the pit of my stomach.But whatever Richard wanted to discuss, I had a fee

My phone beeped just as I stepped out of the Uber.Distracted, I barely paid attention to where I was going, my eyes fixed on the glowing screen as I read the message.It was Richard.Richard: I’ll be hosting a private fine-dining dinner the day after tomorrow in celebration of my recovery. I’d be honoured to have you there.A small smile tugged at my lips.I quickly typed my response.Me: Yes, I’ll be there. Thank you for hosting. I’d be honoured to attend.I hit send and slipped my phone into my bag.Still distracted by the invitation, I made my way toward my apartment, barely paying attention to my surroundings.I didn't realize I'd reached my front door untilThud.My forehead bumped lightly against it.“Ouch.”I winced, rubbing my forehead as I stared at the door.For a moment, I simply stood there before letting out a quiet laugh at myself.My mind was clearly somewhere else.I reached for the doorknob, my smile still lingering.The dinner wasn't until the day after tomorrow.Fo

“Ethan’s case against you centers on allegations that you withheld material information from him—information he claims he had every right to know.”Margaret paused, adjusting the documents spread across her desk before continuing.“And, as expected, they’ll bring up your refusal to sign the trap clause. They’ll also question you about the clinic visit, hoping to use it to strengthen their argument against you.” She leaned back in her chair, her expression growing more serious. “However, I suspect they may have a few more surprises up their sleeves.”My fingers tightened around the strap of my handbag. “What kind of surprises?”“I can’t say for certain yet.” Margaret’s gaze met mine, sharp and unwavering. “But we’d be foolish to assume they’ll limit themselves to what we already know. Ethan’s legal team won’t leave any stone unturned, especially if they believe there’s something they can use to discredit you.”A heavy silence settled between us.“So, what do we do?” I asked, my voice q

Mara's povI quickly slipped my hand into my bag to retrieve my phone. I knew Daniel must have called, and I was right. He had.“Is everything alright?” Leila interrupted.“Yes, yes. Just finish up with what you have to do and go home to your child,” I replied, making my way toward the front door while frantically searching my bag for my car keys.It was only when I reached the door that it hit me.I had forgotten them.Still disorganised and in a hurry,I spun around and hurried back inside calling Leila’s name.“Leila, could you go up to my bedroom to get my car keys,please?”“Alright ma’am”she responded.Her voice sounded distant and i knew she was already on her way upstairs.A few minutes later I spotted her hurrying down the stairs,the keys clutched in her hands.“Thanks Lei.You're such a darling,”I said,snatching the keys from her before storming out of the door once again.Within minutes, I was at the garage, climbing into my car. I tossed my bag onto the passenger seat, inserted
