The press conference that Olivia and Ethan had orchestrated had shaken the entire business world.

Emily turned away, her mind racing with thoughts of sabotage and betrayal. Despite the setback, Emily refused to be deterred. "We need to start over," she declared, her voice firm with determination.

Mr Johnson, Titus and most employees present were asleep, Emily awake and ehausted but elated, the engineers exchanged triumphant sm

However, not long after, some of the customers also began staring at their screens with shocked looks on their faces. Avery was curious, as she stared at the shocked expressions on their faces, completely lost. She wondered what was going on. What were they all staring at or watching? Out of curiosity, she tried to inch close to one of the customers but Jeffery approached her, grabbing her hand and pulling her back to the counter. He dropped his phone on the counter. “There.” He said to her while she picked up the phone. A live stream was on, showcasing a very badly damaged military camp, with several mutilated bodies lying all around. There were puddles of blood all around, coming together

She plonked down on the couch and rubbed her aching feet. Evening was falling and the girls hadn’t made plans to meet up.

I dial my emergency number since my phone is in my hand. I watched Candice trying to flip herself and struggle to be free then she kicked the guy making her free.

I voiced out. "And whose fault was that?" she said glaring at me. Your psychotic mind, I mumbled beneath my breath, just then she decided to drop one of her crutches, she tried to make it look like an accident but failed miserably. She's going to be the death of me, mumbled before adding a string of curse words to the statement. I hurried over to her and supported her falling figure by putting my hand around her waist leading her to the nearest table. I ignore how right it felt to place my hand around her waist or how she seemed to fit perfectly in my arms every time I carry her. I went to pick up the fallen crutch and made my way back to her.

Instead of panic, a strange calm settled over them. “They did it,” Aurora said quietly, leaning against her sister. “Now what?” Sophia smiled, dark and resolute. “Now we stream.” That night they went live with “After the Fall.” Over 15 million viewers joined within minutes. The sanctuary was simple — just the altar, soft lighting, and the entire close family present. No elaborate setup. No hiding. Sophia and Aurora stood at the center, naked and unashamed. Sophia’s breasts were already leaking warm milk. Aurora pressed close, their bodies touching.

The aspirin was useless. Not because it didn't function anymore, but because Vanessa found that she didn't need it after all. Her migraines died out after her talk with Jake and they did not return. When she woke in the morning, she grabbed her phone to see if Jake had texted her, while half-praying he hadn't texted her. But there was no message from an unknown number.
