Caught Red-handed?

Two whole days had gone by since Alexander last guard from Mirena.Sitting in the comfort of his office, he stared at his blank phone screen for the hundredth time.He was well aware of how Mirena wasn't one to reach out to him, but considering all that has happened, the total silence felt wrong.He tapped his pen once against his table and sighed.Perhaps he should send her another round of gifts?He'd refrained from doing so because he knew after their meeting with Isabela Rosa, her mood had taken a dip. He'd seen it from the way she stared ahead, barely acknowledging the crowd of onlookers as they walked out.That was unlike her.So, he'd held back. But now, the silence almost felt like a punishment.Once again he sighed, forcing his gaze off his phone as he slammed his pen down and turned to his computer.From across the room, Jeremy looked up for the hundredth time.All morning, his boss had been sighing and slamming things down. It was a miracle the table was still intact.“Mr.

A Date?!

For the first minute or so, Mirena stared silently at Alexander from behind the glass.Why the heck was he here?“Speak of the devil and he shall appear,” Logan muttered, displeased as he also stared at Alexander.Then, he glanced at Mirena. “You have a meeting with him?”She scoffed under her breath, eyes tracking his movements as he made his way towards the door.“A meeting with him is the last thing I want right now,” She said truly just as the door opened and Alexander walked in like owned the place.His gaze went from Mirena to Logan and lingered on him, darkening for a second.“Lovely of you to join us unannounced, Xander,” Mirena called out, drawing his gaze back to her. “To what do I owe this visit?” She asked, crossing her legs and fixing him with a pointed stare that didn't have its usual bite. Alexander noted.Ignoring Logan's gaze on him, he walked further into the room, stopping directly in front of her and holding out the nylon in his hand.During his drive here, he'd st

Don't Look For Them

Mirena had spent the rest of the day burying herself in work.By the time she got off, it was already evening and she drove straight back to her hotel suite.She’d been staying there for quite some time and finally deemed it fitting to pack her things and move into the house she had bought a couple of weeks ago.As she pulled into the hotel’s parking lot, her phone began to ring. She took one look at it, saw it was Eugene calling, and swiped her fingers across the screen.“Gene,” she answered as she stepped out of her car, slamming the door shut and making her way toward the entrance.“Ms. Crowne, I’ve gotten the information you asked for,” Eugene informed her.Mirena’s steps faltered for a second before picking up again.“I spoke to the current director of the orphanage, who was close with the previous director that handled things when you were newly admitted, and I was able to secure a meeting for you,” she continued.Hearing this, Mirena felt a mix of unfamiliar anticipation and dr

No Longer Living Like A Puppet

The air in the room grew tense at Mirena’s words. For a brief second, Eleanor’s elegant, composed expression faltered. “What?” she asked, a faint chill settling into her gaze.Mirena didn’t back down.“You’ve always supported me, Aunt Eleanor,” she said steadily. “And for that, I’ll always be grateful. I’ll always consider you family, but…” she paused, narrowing her eyes slightly, “don’t you think you should support me in this too?”“Support?” Eleanor echoed, rising to her feet.Despite the warning bells ringing in her head, urging her to drop it, Mirena didn’t. She held her ground, meeting Eleanor’s gaze as the woman stepped forward and stopped right in front of her.“Rena,” Eleanor said softly, but there was no real warmth in her tone. “I supported you with the Sterlings. I didn’t stop you when you chose to go with them, and look how that turned out.”She lifted her hand and placed it on Mirena’s shoulder. She didn’t press down, didn’t tighten her grip, yet the weight of it felt suf

Discovery

The following day, Mirena was up at the crack of dawn.She got dressed, hopped into her car, and drove straight toward the orphanage. Although she hadn’t been back there in years, the route had been burned into her mind, etched there from the time she’d spent leaving it behind.After an hour-long drive, the gray, imposing building of the orphanage came into view, surrounded by the very woods she hated. Mirena’s fingers tightened slightly around the steering wheel as she pulled into the premises, turning off the engine shortly after.Her eyes landed on two figures standing in front of the building. One, she vaguely recognized—she could bet on it being the current director.The second was older, a face buried somewhere between distant childhood memories and the blurred fragments of her time there. She assumed that was the former director.Grabbing her bag, she stepped out of the car and walked toward them.The younger woman—the current director—stared at her, eyes widening the moment re

Discovery II

Mirena found herself speechless for the first few seconds.She’d suspected that Isabela Rosa had seen someone in her—that the flicker of recognition hadn’t been a coincidence. But… to think there was an actual connection to her birth mother.Her fingers tightened slightly around the photograph as she looked up.“The other woman who came that night,” she began, her voice steadier than she felt. “If… if I show you a picture, can you tell me if it was her?”Cassandra looked away, humming softly as she searched her memory, then gave a small nod. “I should be able to.”Mirena pulled out her phone and quickly opened the browser. Her fingers moved swiftly across the screen as she typed in Isabela’s name and waited for the results to load.The moment a photo appeared, she tapped it and turned the screen toward Cassandra.“Was it her?”Cassandra leaned in slightly, eyes narrowing as she studied the image. After a few seconds, she nodded.“Yes, that’s her.”Then she chuckled lightly. “Goodness

Discovery III

Mirena knew Alexander as many things.Psychopathic? Yes. Unhinged? Absolutely. But kind? The type of kind who showed up at orphanages to hand out ice cream to children? No. Not in a million years.Yet here he was, standing right before her, as Letty grinned brightly at him.“Kind uncle!” she called out again, her voice carrying a familiarity that made it clear this wasn’t the first time she’d seen him.Mirena remained speechless for a moment longer, blinking more times than necessary before finally speaking. “I think… I think you’re in the wrong place, Xander.”Her words made him narrow his eyes at her, clearly unimpressed by the comment.“No,” Letty said firmly. “Kind uncle is in the right place. He’s always been here. He’s been coming here for the past five years.”Mirena reeled back in genuine shock.Five years.Five whole fucking years.That was a ridiculous amount of time for someone with a schedule like Alexander’s to “spare,” yet he had done it anyway.“He’s our favorite kind u

Eleanor Was Behind It

“It’s Eleanor Vance.”The moment Alexander heard that, he went still.Eleanor Vance—the woman who had taken Mirena out of the orphanage, the one the world knew as the composed, elegant silver queen of Wall Street—was behind the video that had torn him and Mirena apart?His brows furrowed.Sure, he had never liked Eleanor. It had always felt like his father’s hostility toward her had somehow seeped into him. Maybe it was that, or maybe it was the way she always hovered too close to Mirena whenever they were together, but never—not once—had he imagined she would do something like this.Sabotage the relationship between him and Mirena?Hurt her the way that video did?What could she possibly gain from that?“Are you sure?” he asked.“I traced the IP address of the person who hacked into the school’s media system back then,” Thomas replied. “The data was old, but I was able to recover it. From there, I identified the individual and accessed their social media communications. There wasn’t

Opening Pandora's Box

It was one thing to run into Harrison Peirce once at Eleanor’s estate, and a whole different thing to run into him for the second time—especially when Eleanor was supposedly out of the country.What the hell was he doing here?Before she could even fully process that thought, the sound of footsteps echoed from inside. Harrison, much like his son, was ridiculously tall, but even then, Mirena managed to catch a glimpse past him through the gap at his side—and her frown deepened instantly.Eleanor.The same Eleanor who was supposedly out of the country stood there, dressed in a black silk robe, looking like she had just stepped out of the shower, a cup of coffee in her hand.“Did you forget how to use the door, or what?” Eleanor had started, but her words trailed off when she noticed Harrison’s stillness.As if sensing her gaze on his back, he stepped aside.Surprise flickered in Eleanor’s eyes, but it vanished just as quickly as it came.“Mirena,” she said, her voice smooth, composed, p

The Effects Of Opening A Pandora's Box

THUD!Mirena felt the ground slam back into them with full force. The impact knocked the air out of her for a brief second as their bodies rolled across the floor before finally coming to a stop.Her head spun, pain spreading across different parts of her body, but she still managed to push herself up, prying off the arm that had been shielding her, and looked around.In the distance, she caught sight of a car speeding away.Only then did it hit her.They had been run over.She opened her mouth to speak, but paused when she realized the sounds around her were muffled, like everything had been drowned underwater.Was that why she hadn’t heard the car coming in the first place?“Fuck,” she cursed under her breath, anger turning inward. Her mind had spiraled, and she’d let herself get carried away—and this was the result—Her thoughts came to a screeching halt.Right before the impact, Alexander had rushed toward her.He had pulled her into him and shielded her.Even after the hit, only
