The Blame Game

The living room of the Gold mansion felt small, hot, and suffocating. The air was thick with panic, but Anna sat perfectly still on the single armchair, her posture calm and her eyes cold. They might not even have known she was there as she sat through their chaos. She didn't utter a single word. She just watched the room fall apart around her. Better to enjoy the ride before they—“Oh shut the hell up!” Was Tori's loud voice nearly startling Anna. Everyone around blinked in shock too.Tori was pacing back and forth, her cheeks flushing red as her breathing ragged. She stopped right in front of Lark, pointing a shaking finger directly at his nose."You are such a loser, Lark!" Tori screamed, her voice cracking with pure rage. "Why did you ever take up that stupid Delacroix deal? You didn't even read the fine print! You're a complete failure!"Lark jumped out of his seat, his jaw tight as he slammed his hand down on the armrest. He didn't care about his composure right now or cool mann

Game changed

Arthur stepped closer to the sofa, his chest heaving as he stared down at Desiree. "I regret ever trusting you. I should have never partnered with your failing family. We need millions to pay back the default penalty just to stop the foreclosure, and we don't even have the full money to pay them back! Where is the advance capital Delacroix sent for the transport setup?"Desiree raised her head up, her eyes flashing with a sharp, desperate defensiveness. She stood up to face him. "I had to protect our image, Arthur! I spent it on my fiftieth birthday party preparation! The catering deposits, the venue, the elite guest list—if we look broke to high society, the foundation collapses anyway!""You spent corporate advance money on a party?!" Arthur barked, his face turning dark. "Are you insane?""It's not like that, uncle. It's just a little price to pay for something big." Tori chimed in loudly, stepping forward to defend her mother. "We had to look the part! We used our shares of the ca

Power shift

The smell of sweet Jasmin and wet moss filled the warm air in the room. Anika sat at the small wooden table, her hands wrapped around a the fresh mug of tea. For the first time in days, her shoulders relaxed, “thanks to you, I feel more at ease.”“Pleasure doing business with you, ma'am.” Christopher teased, flashing her a warm smile. He sat directly opposite her, his tie completely loosened. He watched her over the rim of his cup, his dark eyes fixed entirely on her face."I'm glad you're telling me this," Christopher said softly, a relaxed smile touching his lips. He looked incredibly happy that she was finally opening up, letting her guard down to share personal things with him instead of hiding behind her cold mask. "You've been carrying everything alone for too long."Anika took a slow sip, her gaze dropping to the table. "Shawn is changing, Christopher. The power shift is getting messy. Can you believe that he's doing their bidding now? He doesn't listen to me anymore. I need to

In the corridor

Anika rounded the corner of the west wing, her mind still tied to the urgency in Carlos's tone. Then she was brought to a halt when her shoulder brushed against someone coming from the opposite direction. It hadn't been in a violent crash, but the folders in her hand slipped slightly, the pages rustling in the sudden quiet of the hall."I’m sorry," she said, her voice dropping into its usual polite, measured tone as she adjusted her grip."My fault," a smooth, steady voice replied. "I didn't see you coming."Anika raised her eyes. Standing right in front of her was a slender, average-tall man with a familiar face - where had she seen him before? From the legal analytics department??He didn't step back immediately. He stood there, his hands loosely tucked into his trouser pockets as his gaze went tracking the calm expression on her face."You’re Anika, right?" The man asked, his head tilting just a fraction as a faint, unreadable smile touched his lips. "The hardworking staff on the l

Panic attacks

With his expression filled with genuine pity, Carlos sighed. "Shawn is just a puppet. You gave him the strings, but you left the stage wide open for the directors to grab them. He didn't overrule you because he wanted to. He did it because he was terrified of what would happen if he refused."Anika sat down slowly, her posture perfectly rigid as she leaned forward, her elbows resting on the mahogany table. "Santiago," she whispered, her jaw tightening. "Shawn said the board didn't have my back. He's trying to please them for some reason.""Santiago is just a symptom, Anika," Carlos said. He didn't offer her a comforting word or try to soften the blow. He reached into his leather bag and slid a single, confidential document across the polished wood. “There's something you should know. I had to come to you as soon as I found out.”Anika sat up straight, her heart doing a sudden heavy beat in her chest. “What did you find out?”“Seven years ago, your family was murdered. You have no memo

There's An Ally.

Anika walked up to her desk and sat down. As she reached for her mouse, she noticed a small, folded piece of paper tucked right under her keyboard. It was handwritten, which was weird because who did she know that would be playing games like this? Tobey?She opened it and scanned the messy ink: pick up your phone when it rings.“What?” She frowned, looking around. Cassandra and Paul were nowhere to be found and Tobey was seated behind her, heavily focused in his phone. “Pick up my phone when it rings?” What kind of game was this? She crumpled the note in her fist and threw it into the small bin under her desk. Her heart did a quick, heavy thump against her chest. She didn't like hidden messages, and she liked them even less on a Thursday morning when her head was already throbbing from…well, from everything.It wasn't even up to a second later—she had opened her mouth to call onTobey and accuse him—when her phone vibrated against her thigh. It was a strange unsaved private number.An

The Observer

Anika stared down at her phone screen for what felt like an eternity. The call with Freddy had ended, but the weight of his question hung in the air like smoke. What’s your call? Her thumbs hovered over the glass as her mind scrambled to calculate her next move. The makeup division vacancy was a massive opening, but if Freddy already knew who she was, stepping into it could be a trap.She turned around slowly and walked back onto the supply chain floor, slipping the phone into her pocket. Her expression was a perfect, unbothered mask, but her chest felt tight.Unbeknownst to her, Tobey was tracking her every step. He didn't look up from his monitor, but his sharp eyes followed her reflection in the glass partition. He noticed the rigid line of her shoulders and the slight hesitation before she pulled out her chair. He adjusted his glasses, his face completely unsmiling, adding this new piece of data to the long list of things that didn't add up about the new intern.Anika sat at her d

The Real Identity

"I said, what is going on here?" Christopher repeated, his voice dropping into a dangerous, lethal register that made the hallway feel freezing cold.The secretary didn't panic. Instead, she let out a short, mocking snort, rolling her eyes as she grabbed her notepad from the side table. She looked at Christopher, then back at Anika’s lower-floor badge, her face twisted into a smug, unbothered expression."There's no issue, Chairman," the lady said smoothly, her tone dripping with a subtle, hidden threat. "Just your girlfriend wanted to see you. I was just telling her you were busy."Without waiting for a response, she turned on her heel and walked down the corridor, her heels clicking loudly against the tile as she left the floor.Anika stood frozen in the center of the hallway, her jaw locking in pure, unadulterated shock. She looked at the empty hallway, then turned to Christopher, her voice cracking with a sharp, furious indignation. "Did you hear that? Christopher, that was incred

The Broken Trap

The door to Christopher's private office closed with a quiet thud. Anika stood in the center of the room. Her body was completely stiff. Her mind was stuck on the sound of Carlos’s voice over the phone. Gabriel Gold. The name kept repeating in her head. It was the lawyer. It was Lark’s father. The man in the smoke, the one who burned her childhood down, finally had a name. She had lived with his family for seven years. She had cleaned their floors. She had served his wife.Christopher came up behind her. He didn't say anything right away. He just took the heavy manila folder from her hand and set it on the desk. His movements were slow. When he turned back to her, his face was tight. He could see her chest rising and falling too fast. She was breathing in short, shallow gasps."Anika," he said. His voice was low and rough.She didn't look at him. She stared at the polished wood of his desk, her fingers curling into tight fists. "He killed them, Christopher. Gabriel Gold did it. And

The Unseen Shield

The moment he was gone, Christopher turned back to Anika. He slid the laptop back toward his side of the desk. "He's right about one thing. The local terminal is locked. But Santiago doesn't own the Vanguard network."He typed a fast command into the encrypted terminal, his fingers moving with steady, smooth precision. He leaned in close to her, his shoulder brushing against her blazer over the keyboard. Anika could feel the warmth of his chest right behind her, his clean scent filling her senses as the screen began to scroll through lines of green data."There," Christopher murmured, his voice low and rich near her ear. "The Vanguard satellite bypass worked. The old legal files from the fire audit are loading now. We have the loophole."Anika looked up at him, her lips just inches from his jaw. A soft, involuntary smile touched her mouth, her heart fluttering as the relief washed over her. "You really are a genius."The sudden, harsh vibration of her private phone shattered the quie
