MANNIE’S POVThe morning air felt sharp against my skin as I stepped out of the elevator. I held a warm coffee in my hand, letting the heat sink into my fingers. I barely slept after last night’s chaotic call with Dominic. My eyes still felt heavy, but I pushed forward.I tightened my grip on the cup and walked toward the office.Everything felt normal.I pushed the office door open—And the world suddenly tilted.My foot skidded.Something slick—oil—spread under my shoe.“Ahhh!” I screamed.The cup flew from my hand. My body jerked backward, panic flooding my stomach—but before I hit the floor, someone grabbed me from the side.A woman.She pulled me up sharply.“You’re okay, I got you!” she said, holding my elbow.My heart pounded.I blinked fast, trying to steady myself. “Oh my God—thank you—”Before I could finish, another force shoved the woman aside.A man.He lunged toward me like he wanted to "save" me too.But the shove sent the woman stumbling into a desk.My eyes flashed.I

3rd POVMannie pushed through the crowd to return to her office when someone stopped her."I was informed you wanted to see the manager. He is on a business trip. If it isn’t urgent, you can wait or relay the message to me.""She probably came to see the fight." Both of them thought inwardly."It's not urgent. I can wait." Mannie answered with a smile, "Thank you."The manager's secretary smiled and walked away.Mannie looked at the manager's secretary, who just informed her that the manager was on a business trip."Should I just write a letter to submit a complaint or just wait for him to get back?" she whispered to herself. Her fingers tightened around her phone. Her jaw moved slightly as she thought. If she didn’t scare people, they would keep poking her. They would think she was weak, soft and easy to step on.And maybe… the exaggerated rumors flying around would cool down.She exhaled."Let me just sit this one out." She muttered and turned to leave.Her heels clicked sharply aga

DIANNA’S POVI hissed the moment the call with Lilith was cut.“Stupid girl,” I muttered and flopped back on my bed. My chest rose and fell fast with anger. “She is nothing but a big, rich, dumb fool.”I pressed a hand against my forehead.“If only I were born in her family,” I whispered. “She is rich… yet so stupid.”Jealousy stabbed me again. I took a slow breath through my nose, trying to calm the fire inside my chest.I was born into nothing.Just a common family.No money.No connections.No shortcuts.Everything I had now… I had fought for. Crawled for. Bent for. I had climbed on different men’s beds to get where I was.Meanwhile Lilith? She only threw money at her problems.And she still messed everything up.I picked up my phone and unlocked it. The screen brightness hit my eyes, but I ignored it. I opened my gallery and scrolled until I found the picture Lilith sent me.I stared at it.My lips twisted.“How could she not just make this plan go well?” I bit my lip, annoyed. “

MANNIE'S POV“Mom, what is this?” My eyes bulged at the sight that lay before me.For a moment, I just stood there.Frozen.My hand still gripped the strap of my bag. My mouth hung slightly open. My mind struggled to process what I was seeing.Then my eyes slowly drifted to the dining table.The children were there.All eight of them.Their small bodies were hunched over their homework books. Pencils moved across paper. Heads bent low.Too low.Too quiet.Jay’s pencil scratched loudly against the page. Lily’s fingers twisted the edge of her eraser again and again. Tera tapped her pencil in a soft rhythm.None of them looked up.Not even Sophie, who usually noticed everything.It was almost as if they were pretending not to see the scene in the living room. Or maybe… they simply couldn’t bear it.My chest tightened.I slowly turned my head back toward the living room. Toward the scene that made my stomach churn.My mother.And her, my sister-in-law.The two of them clung to each other

MANNIE’S POVThe balcony was quiet.The night air drifted slowly through the thin curtains behind me. Cool. Damp. Carrying the faint smell of rain and street dust.I sat on the old wooden chair near the railing.My elbows rested on my knees. My hands hung loosely between them.I closed my eyes.And David’s face appeared in my mind again.The way he looked at Jay earlier.That small smile.That quiet pride.Like a father looking at his son.My fingers tightened around the armrest.Jay didn’t notice.Or maybe he did.Jay had been laughing at the table.Talking.Joking.But every time David’s name came up… something in his eyes changed.A small spark.A quiet curiosity.My stomach twisted.That child…He was too bright.Too observant.Sooner or later he would ask questions.Questions I didn’t want to answer.I exhaled slowly.Then another face appeared in my thoughts.Lilith.Her pale skin.Her lifeless eyes.The cold room.The locked door.My fingers trembled slightly.I rubbed my templ
