The dark marks under his eyes stealing his youth. It hurt to see him like this. Tamor is my adoptive father as well as Jade’s, and of the other two friends of mine, Carmila and Rosalind. Then there were Tarmog, who was killed, and Sundel, who was missing. “Any news about Sundel?” I asked unsurely. “There is a body that is supposed to be his, I’ll know by tomorrow for sure. I sent Vextel to check.” “The mission has been completed,” I mentioned, changing the topic.

My life is already messed up, and I am a shame to everyone. "I, Hudson, the future Alpha of this pack, reject you stupid Judian as my mate and sever all bonds between us! I REJECT YOU! " His voice rumbled like thunder, breaking through the core of my heart and spreading that kind of pain which leaves the body numb and the lips clamped all over me.

And the longer the banter takes, the faster the tension in the room builds. "Chris?" September called out while handing an empty hand on his assistant. Chris Johns took out another separate folder and hand it over his empty palm. Everyone thought it was a share withdrawal document and they suddenly felt bad for the old woman. Can't September just let it passed? Mrs. Kim was with him from the start, how could he disregard just because she made a mistake? How heartless! People are thinking all the same and it was all written on their face. Everybody looked disappointed as September hand in the share withdrawal document.

"I was pondering the same thing before you walked in here but it really wasn't me." "I was going to handle it this morning but when my PR team checked, the stories were already removed from every outlet and the published articles had been taken down." "Really?" I frowned, "Who would do that?" Alaric's gaze lingered on my face with thoughtfulness, "That's what I would like to know too." For a little while, silence fell upon us. Derek's strange choice of word from earlier returned to mind. "You still have the lease on your apartment, don't you?"

Every second, I imagined more people talking, more blogs popping up, and more, humiliation. I barely got enough sleep last night. But none of them knew what had happened. They didn't know the full story but they were so fast to jump into conclusion. I opened the doors to my office and saw Freya waiting with her face lit up in excitement. "Mary! Have you checked online?" she asked and practically bounced on her toes. I shook my head as I hadn’t dared look since yesterday. "All the posts are gone!" Freya grabbed my arm and pulled me into my office. "Every single one! And guess what? Reid Brown’s lawyers had sent cease-and-desist letters to every gossip site in the city!"

I said, leaning forward, “then why let your company collapse? All those loans—it’s only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down.” “You’re still on this?” she scoffed. “You should check your news again before trying to play the good Samaritan. I’m not falling for it. You’re the last person I would ever ask or seek help from.” I grabbed my phone to double-check the news. My heart sank when I saw that the story had been debunked a day ago. There were no illegal loans. Her company had been backed by a huge corporation, and all the outlets that reported the scandal had issued apologies.

Just gone, the way things went when someone decided quietly that a story was no longer useful. Lena found out about all of this in fragments, from Mara at the pharmacy who had found the photograph and recognized Lena's coat, from Ji-yeon's daily summary message, from a text from her aunt that said *LENA WHAT IS HAPPENING* in all capitals with seven question mark emojis. She had not yet replied to her aunt. --- Caiden mentioned the photograph's performance on Monday evening with the same tone he'd use to report a quarterly result. "The communications team says engagement was significantly above benchmark," he said. "The column's been pulled."

"Yes sweety. If you say all is well, then go to sleep now. Goodnight." "Goodnight too Provi. :-P " I sent him a flying kiss. "I caught that! "Huh?!" "I caught the kiss you sent. Haha. Goodnight!" I smiled at his childishness. I was about to close ny laptop then I heard a ding. A message went in but from an unknown user. I checked the message request. "You better get away from my rich uncle, Gold Digger." Obviously, I know who sent me such a message. I didn't reply it because if I did, he would be able to reconnect to my account. The sour loser. You'll have day of doom soon!
