she smirks and walks away with her little minion like she just successfully broke a happy marriage. I cover my hand over my mouth laughing, is that piece of information supposed to make me heart broken? "You have to be careful with who you talk to" Nathan's voice startles me. "Stay with me and I would show you who you shouldn't talk to" He picks up a champagne glass. "Your family is quite... Different" I remark and he laughs. "I know, they're all leeches" he takes a sip of his drink. "That woman on red right there" he gestures at the woman with his eyes "-is a no go for you okay?"

I swallowed the bitterness rising in my throat and answered quietly, “Just a distant relative.” The old man nodded. “That makes sense. If you were close family, there is no way you would have missed the memorial ceremony Mr. Ferguson held three years ago.” “You should have seen it. The whole thing was grand. Mr. Ferguson organized a private memorial for his parents and invited relatives, friends, and many important business people.”

"Now he announces he's 'retreating from public life for contemplation' as if he's above it all. He's framing himself as some sort of penitent sage, leaving the mess and the blame at the feet of two women. It's a PR stunt. He's a coward." The more he spoke, the more his calm veneer cracked.

"Seriously, what is your problem old man!?" I burst out. I can let this old man will be the reason of my death!

Once her thoughts registered in her head she realized how ridiculous she sounded, placing the knife back at its place she made her way towards the front door. Letting out a sigh of relief when she saw an older woman standing on the other side of the door. Charlotte stared at the older woman and wondered who she was. When she suddenly saw what she had with her, dogs. It's not that Charlotte didn't like dogs; she was just terrified. She had never had a pet and she couldn't help the fear. Walking towards the door she saw the dogs staring at her in confusion. One was a big Siberian husky, and the other was Shiba Inu, although the dogs were freaking gorgeous she didn't want to open the door for t

Lester City.Kimpiski Hotel The flowers were in full bloom, and the breeze carried the floral fragrance with it. But Lucia Carlvastan was unable to admire its beauty, as the scene before her seemed to suffocate her. Warm light spilled on the ground as a couple of familiar yet unfamiliar silhouettes embraced each other under a tree.“Johnny…” The lady’s voice was gentle and soft. Her fair arms were wrapped around his neck as she rested her head on his chest affectionately. The man seemed to have other considerations. After some hesitation, he gently and slowly pushed her away. When Johnny Corona looked in Lucia's direction, she quickly hid behind the tree so that others would not notice them. S

My fingerprint had never been given a permanent place in Haiden Buckley's smart lock. He always registered it as temporary access. Whenever he set it up again, he gave me the same reassuring promise. "Come by whenever you want. You're always welcome here." His words sounded generous, yet the result never changed. Whenever I returned to his house, the scanner rejected me with the same message—fingerprint not registered. That day was no different. I stood outside Haiden's front door, watching the scanner flash red after rejecting my fingerprint once again. After staring at it for a moment, I pulled out my phone and called him.

They were polar opposites and I couldn't help but be drawn to her. Her blonde hair seemed to have an almost ethereal glow and her eyes were the deepest emerald metals I'd seen. From the thin line her lips had formed, I just knew she was nervous. “What's your name?” I asked. My anger levels shot up a bit when I got no response, so I asked again. “What is your name?” More silence.
