“Now I am a psycho?” Dennis sneered.He leaned closer, his face inches from hers, his eyes filled with a disturbing mixture of anger and amusement. Audrey instinctively turned her face away as he moved even closer, his lips almost brushing hers.Suddenly, a loud sound rang out from Audrey’s phone, which was tucked inside the bag hanging from her shoulder.The interruption made Dennis pause.Audrey quickly reached for the phone with her free hand and answered the call.“Hello?”“Hello, Audrey. I cannot find my new Jordan shoes. Did you see them?” James asked from the other end.Audrey remained silent, her eyes fixed on Dennis as his hand remained around her neck.“Hello, sis?” James continued when he received no response. “I know you took them.”“Where are—”Before he could finish, Dennis snatched the phone from Audrey’s hand and ended the call.“What the hell are you doing?” Audrey gasped.Dennis tossed the phone aside and reached for her again.That was when something inside Audrey s

The alarm blared, pulling Audrey from a deep sleep after the exhausting activities of the previous day, which she had deliberately immersed herself in to take her mind off the heartache that had left her shattered.It was Monday morning, and life had to go on, regardless of what it had thrown at her.She had quite a lot to accomplish that morning before heading to the diner for her part-time shift later that afternoon. She had an art piece she was working on, and she needed to complete it before the following day so she could deliver it on time.Audrey had always harbored a deep passion for painting. It had begun as nothing more than a childhood pastime. While growing up, she would sketch images she saw around her in the little sketchbook she carried almost everywhere she went.Over time, that passion had grown into a genuine love for art. Painting became a way for Audrey to express the emotions she struggled to put into words. She would pour the feelings she found difficult to articu

The doorbell rang, jolting Jonas from the couch.“What took you so long?” Jonas asked as he opened the door and Timmy walked in.“Traffic,” Timmy scoffed, walking in with two cups of coffee in his hands.Timmy arched a brow as he glanced around. “Why are you the one answering the door? And why is the house so quiet? Where is everyone?”“I asked them to take a break,” Jonas replied calmly.“Why?”“Are you here to question me or get your work done?” Jonas asked, his eyes fixed on the papers in his hand.“Right! Sorry about that.” Timmy handed him the documents. “Here is the paperwork you asked for.”“Why did you decide to work from home? Does this mean you will not be coming into the office this week?”“Timmy, enough with the questions. I already told you I would be working from home for now.” Jonas sat up and began flipping through the documents.“This does not look right. Timmy, are you sure these are the correct documents?”“Yes. They came straight from the secretary’s desk.”“Send t

“Mr. Harrington,” she stammered.How much worse could this day possibly get? she thought.“I’m so sorry,” Audrey apologized, giving a slight bow.Scott snatched his phone from her hand, shot her an irritated look, and walked away without another word, leaving her standing there, questioning her own life choices.At that moment, Audrey wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole. The embarrassment was unbearable.Why did she have to get on his bad side?She hurried out of the mansion, eager to put as much distance as possible between herself and the man.****“If I hadn’t known you for years, I would swear something was bothering you right now.”Michael swirled the wine in his glass, casting Scott a sidelong glance.“Far from it. You know things don’t get to me,” Scott replied confidently.“Then why have you been staring into space since we got here? For someone who is usually the life of the party, you are pretty dull tonight.”Michael lowered his glass and studied Scott’s f

“Scott Harrington, the CEO of Harrington Holdings, will be a year older in a few days. Happy birthday in advance, my brother! I cannot wait to celebrate you, and I have a surprise for you.”Audrey’s eyes moved across the post made by Sasha King as she swiped through the pictures of Scott.In one of the pictures, he wore a blue suit paired with a pair of fine brown leather shoes. He leaned against a table, holding his suit jacket behind his shoulders as it draped down his back. His legs were crossed, and his eyes were fixed on the camera. He struck several different poses in the same position.Instagram could be quite funny. It had just brought up the face of the one person she wished she would never have to see again.She studied the pictures, staring directly at Scott’s face. He looked like a very strict person. Their encounter quickly flashed through her mind.“No, not today,” she said aloud, quickly swiping past the pictures and moving on to other reels. She watched a few funny vid
